Anime of the Season

I did watch both of Sugar and Hikaru no Go, and the latter has the live action section on how to play Go which to say is very useless in Indonesia. Well at least I still remember the opening theme for both series. Speaking of good opening, there's FFUnlimited in that it's my introduction to Final Fantasy franchise so much that I'm surprised to learnt that FF is actually very big video game franchise (Through the newspaper article that introduce the fashion based on FF costume out of all media). Crash Gear was briefly popular in Indonesia alongside tamiya, although obviously it didn't last long.

Eikoden - It can be said as what if a loser girl decided to self-insert to the fiction akin making a fan fiction, and as you can see the result is quite disastrous, especially if said fiction is another world in Curious Play. Needless to say, the Eikoden MC (Mayo) reputation is obviously very infamous even with the writer obviously intended wrote her as such.

Angel Tales - Back when I watched it in Animax I thought that this is a touching anime, although nowadays it might be a bit too cheesy considering that Gorou did take care too much animal when he was a child (That turned out reincarnated into the cute and beautiful girls) and that he looks too much like Love Hina MC Keitarou (Which may be intentional, and Keitarou here is more handsome lol). Needless to say, nowadays there's almost no harem anime that dare to have up to 12 girls fall in love with the MC. Oh yes at least it's nice that each girl have the phobia that is related on their death as the animals, and on how they'll overcome it with Gorou's help.

Rave Master - I'm gonna be honest that I watch it because of how sexy Elie's outfit that she consistently wore in the anime series lol, and of course the author realize it so much that he made Lucy of Fairy Tail wore the sexy outfit as much as possible. That aside, Rave is the big success for the author Mashima Hiro, which eventually lead him into make his biggest manga franchise Fairy Tail (By the way there's several Rave's references in Fairy Tail). The anime itself is only adapt a third of the story, so you can read the manga if you want to know on how the story ended.

Hellsing - I should mention that 2001 anime didn't fully adapted the manga, and there's one more adaptation that faithfully adapt Hellsing fully. Although said adaptation is only in form of OVA instead of TV series, because it has a lot of graphic contents and actually the television need to limit the graphic contents as much as possible with Hellsing has a lot of those. Of course though, many people did say that the OVA is rushed which to say is a legitimate critic, so in the end it's up to each of their own which Hellsing is better (Although MAL users did prefer the OVA version).

That's all for what I can write in regard of Fall 2001 anime here.

Hellsing- Does this need an intro?  While it doesn't follow the contents of the original work, it is still fun to watch.

Mahoromatic- Science-fantasy rom-com.  Fairly good.

Hikaru no Go- Mostly watchable for the tension even if you don't give a crap about the games.
