Busy with the job for the last couple of days, so it's been slow on hobbies. Got an Amazon shipment including Nanoha A's and Berserk 27 (yeah, let's see your recommendation engine figure THAT one out!), so I should dedicate some time soon to sitting down and watching all of Nanoha again. Still want to get through more FSN first, though.

Last season didn't give me a whole lot to work with. I enjoyed Toradora, mostly because I like Ryuji's character. Index was interesting but quite talky for an action show, and not terribly interesting at that; it gave me a very strong vibe of Busou Renkin, in that it has a bad tendency of "okay, now we're going to throw THIS at the main cast" without a whole lot of consistency in theme. Liked the visuals, though. I'll probably get around to the last season of Minami-ke eventually, though honestly, the second season didn't do that much for me.

My expectations aren't too high for this season either. More Hayate is not a bad thing, of course. I've actually already seen the first ep of a show I'm obligated not to identify, and it wasn't bad, but didn't do much to grab me (half-finished animation will do that, though). On the other hand, my "wait a while and watch for late buzz" strategy has worked well for years, and alerted me to hidden gems I'd never have tried on my own (Akagi, for example).
