Blassreiter:
It was awful I will not be watching or blogging it. The cgi was cheap, the story was lackluster, the characters were bland.
Kaiba:
I though it was a solid first episode. The animation was a little out there even for someone who adored kemonozume, but still good action. It put off a real Heavy Metal vibe with its whole not explaining shit to the audience and leading them through weird places. The episode slowed down a lot in the middle so much that when watching it at a friends house the friend fell asleep at around 9 pm. plus with its moderate pop-philosophy I just might blog this
Golgo 13:
It’s die hard in anime form! I loved it I’m a huge cheesy action fan with a character thats pretty much unbeatable.
Kure-nai:
I liked it. The first few episodes were solid entertainment, but that little girl is an entire hell of annoying bitchyness. I’ll keep watching, but if the reign of the kouhin bitch continues I just might drop it.
Toshokan Sensou:
It was good if a little more kiddy than I expected. The concept was neat, but I guess I built it up in my mind as this astounding tour de force of awesome free-radical pro freedom of information type thing, the actual episode was a tad disappointing. I mean I expected a social commentary on japanese freedom of expression but got a slightly annoying girl calling her commander chibi instead.
Mnemosyne:
Yeah I know this was out last season, but I just picked it up. It’s ok I guess, the story is definitely lacking. The animation and action are great, and parts of it are basically porn, but the whole angel vs. immortal thing feels forced and lackluster at the same time. It’s almost as if the story is an excuse to put out a bitchin’ OVA about naked immortal women killing each other.
The daughter of 20 faces:
It was a decent first episode, but it had some pacing problems. It felt like Lupin the III but drawn in the style of Big O, but it was not nearly as awesome as either. Most likely will not watch anymore.
Soul eater:
Great high definition animation, but just another D. Gray-man. Very shonen, will keep watching, but never to be blogged.

I had exactly the same expectations with regard to Toshokan Sensou. But since my friends recommend me to wait for Menclave, or Orange-Side for the subs, I will.
I really thought TS would be some sort of Fahrenheit 451 mixed with a dose of 1984. But then, even with the series less adult-oriented, if it entertains, it entertains.
