This looks like way too much, but a lot of these are very short. Chebrushka Arere continues to be cute enough that at only 3 minutes I’ll throw it in.

Aoi Bungaku is a new entry, and is very interesting – it’s basically the classics of Japanese modern(?) literature, animated.  It starts with Ningen Shikkaku, which is a fine, fine choice. The animation is excellent, as you’d expect from Madhouse, but unfortunately the adaptation doesn’t live up to what I remember and makes it a bit too much Catcher in the Rye.  I’ll let MoeSucks elaborate, since I’m too lazy.

I’m still quite happy with Sunred, Eve no Jikan, and Kobato (which rides that really fine line between cute fun and schlock hard).  Bakemonogatari is still my favorite – so much so I don’t even care if the other people appreciate it or not, though this ep was extremely accessible.  Arararagi-kun is such a deer in headlights.
