...no wonder i spent this season of anime just catching up on asian dramas i kept telling myself i'd get around to watching 'some day'. <_<; actually, i haven't really looked into any of the new series for this season but as far as titles alone go, nothing really grabs my attention but you never know. i might get poked into watching something.
