Cinnamon Ass - Reborn Like a Zombie

Erementar Gerad Episode 2 - Fated Reaction

The attack on the Red Lynx group ends disastrously as Coud and co. end up crashlanding. Coud decides to help Ren reach the mysterious lost paradise known as the Edel Garden, which is somewhere in the sky, and Cisqua decides that Acqueil will tag along to help protect Ren (they're out of cash and their aircraft is out of commission, it's not like they have much choice!). While they travel, Coud and Ren save a passing father and daughter from a monster in the forests, and the group gets invited round for dinner - while Coud makes the mistake of accidentally treating Ren as a weapon instead of a person, the father strikes a shady deal...

If Ren gets captured every episode I will drop this series like a feather off the Tower of Pisa. As it is, I'm still quite enjoying Erementar Gerad - it's definitely got the feel of Scrapped Princess about it, with silly comedy mixed with some angst and action, although in a slightly more generic manner. A big draw is the above-average animation, as mentioned last week - plus, we had glorious stock footage for the Reaction sequence which, as usual, I thought was great. For the moment I'll keep watching, but it's possibly one of the weaker decent shows of the season.

I feel I should note I have become horribly addicted to the opening sequence to this show. I've watched it about 30 times since seeing the first episode last week, and it's easily my favourite part of Erementar Gerad. Opening single out soon...
