Not a Spice and Wolf-Fan? But … there is Horo! (Okay, not a good argumentation.) Its pace is a little slower than most anime and there definitely is a lot of economics included. That’s neither good nor bad – just have to like it or not. The OP song “Tabi no Tochuu” is great. :)

Recommendation: Watch Higurashi no Naku Koro ni! Gave me goose bumps, I really loved it. Therefore I’m really looking forward to Umineko and hope for a great horror anime.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is just weird. In a good way. But also exhausting to watch.

this summer is going to be boring…the animes seems to be dull, and really boring to me.

Well, interactions between characters basically happens in every show. What I meant is that the economic discussions (and I’m pretty sure that took place in many, if not most, episodes) is what facilitated many of those interactions (especially Holo’s “sixth sense,” if you will, when it came to whether someone Lawrence was dealing with was reputable or not).

For Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, the reason I put that into “not watch” is merely because I haven’t seen the first two seasons yet. It’s pretty much my policy to not watch shows if I haven’t seen the previous seasons of it. Nothing against the show itself.

The other three shows you talk about are on my “may watch” list which means I may get around to watching them. As you might be able to tell from previous season previews, “may watch” is pretty much my default place for shows unless some show just really strikes me as something which I know, without a doubt, that I’m going to watch. Whether I watch a show in the “may watch” list is more of a factor of how many shows I want to handle watching at once more than anything else. If I had unlimited time on my hands, I would go ahead and probably watch all of them.

Of course, you’ll get to see what shows I’m actually going to be watching when I put out my final watch list probably early next week (before July 1st, anyway). I have a decent idea which of those shows I’m going to end up watching, but I like tossing them around for a week or so before making a final decision.

Perhaps that’s because I still haven’t gotten around to seeing the Higurashi shows yet *shrugs*. I think if this were like some of the seasons we’ve seen in the past year, it might be up there on my list, but this season seems to have a number of shows that seem interesting to me, and I do try to put a limit on how many shows I watch at once lol.
