Wilhelm Reich does mecha

The accumulators are going to be overloaded

From episode one of Captain Earth, yet another ridiculous adolescents and mecha show that I made the mistake of sampling.

The Al Gore effect intensifies

From episode one of The Irregular at Magic High School, which looks like it will involve class warfare of a sort in one more damned high school story.

I might watch more of the latter show, or I might not. The only shows this spring that interest me are Ping Pong, because of Masaaki Yuasa, and Mushishi, because it’s Mushishi.

Update: Ubu has read the books on which The Irregular at Magic High School is based and found them “really good, fairly deep.” I probably will watch more.
