Ru's anime roundups
Every three months, like clockwork, and bunch of new anime shows start. I try to watch one episode of everything, no matter how lame it looks, as you never know when something really unpromising will turn out to be surprisingly good. For the last couple of years I've been posting my impressions of each one in OM.
After the first couple of seasons, I stopped doing sequels; either because I hadn't watched what came before and didn't want to watch it out of sequence (I can be a bit OCD about thing like that), or otherwise I just ended up saying "go watch the first series" every time.
