Rock Lee and his Ninja Pals
4.5/10

Bleh. You're talking to a Naruto fan here, and I think this is bad. I really wanted to like it. I did. I love gag comedies, and Rock Lee has always been an interesting character. But the problem with this gag comedy? It's not funny.
We all know toilet humor is NOT funny and it's quite annoying, right? Well, that's about 95% of this show's humor, at least the first episode. The gag is dog poop. It is used over. And over. And over.
And when they do have a solid gag? They always bury it in more toilet jokes, or they have the guts to start explaining the joke. It's all like, "Um...yeah, I realized that."
Not recommended unless you're five years old.

This show's plot isn't original. Part-time jobs, lazy bum, whatever. Dialogue isn't the best, either. So what does this show mainly have going for it? It's totally adorable.
Recommended if you like cuteness.
Accel World
9.5/10
Streaming at vizanime.com
This is the charm of the season; the best of the best. Maybe you wouldn't be hearing that if you weren't talking to an otaku who likes to spend 1/2 of his life on the Internet. This show is all about how the Internet will be expanded in the future, kind of a virtual reality; that's probably the best charm for me. After all, out of my list of anime to watch before I turn 18, I have stuff like Serial Experiments Lain and ..hack//sign.
It really kept me at the edge of my seat, the characters are straight forward realistic, and the fights? AWESOME.
Recommended if you like action, the Internet, or just simply good shows! Man, all this talk about Accel World makes me wanna go watch episode 4! Until next time, this is Keroro signing out!
