Personal Opinions

Food Court Druid

Perfectly acceptable middle of the road anime. Entertaining but not really engaging. Oh, and the villains are cool.

Zackarotto

While I do believe the ADTRW consensus on this show was favorable, I found Shana to be pretty dull. I know it's real popular, it's got a movie and a even a second season starting in about a month, but I see it as just another trite children's fantasy tale with annoying characters. The male lead is about as useful and emotionally secure as Piro from Megatokyo. I kept waiting for him to grow a pair but he never did. I also don't like the elementary school romance or anyone involved in said romance. The animation and art direction are pretty nice I guess, but the huge eyes that take up most of the face aren't really my thing.

And yet I'm pretty sure I'll still be watching the movie and the next season. It takes a load of crap before I'll drop a series. Maybe Shakugan no Shana doesn't entirely suck.

Kessel

Drags on a fair bit, but it's not bad. Just be sure you like your fantasy series.

Shockingly, the male lead does grow a pair in the second season.
