		<description><![CDATA[Perused some first episodes of Hanakyo Maid Team, School Rumble, and Nerima Daikon Brothers, all of which look silly and fanservice-y. The reality turned out to be extremely, not at all, and What on earth was THAT?!, respectively. Oh, and Maria+Holic continues to be all kinds of artistic funny.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My suspicions are confirmed now--Code Geass R2 was, indeed, just treading water and churning out filler for the first roughly 18 episodes, at which point it finally gets to where it was presumably heading at the end of the first season, hopefully salvaging the end.]]></description>

The answer to the two important questions about it for fans are good, and I'll give a little review of the series as a whole for those who haven't heard of it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As in Code Geass 2, when you try to take a good idea and drag it out to cover four full seasons (52 episodes), you may have lots of time to layer on the intrigue and tragedy, but you have just as much time to run yourself off into a ditch trying to keep things going.  That got me thinking about how US-style TV shows are, by the very nature of their construction, doomed to fail.]]></description>
