Watched
Beyond the Break
...I finished season 2 (which is more like half a season) of this fun Hawaian (spelling?) surfing drama. Although it was more dramatic (the lost at sea & stuck on a drug grower's crop digging a grave for your friend), I didn't like the directions the characters took. They seemed out of character in some places. And of all places to end a series (I'm wondering if it was ended mid-season), having 1 of the main characters be labelled as a thief when it was clearly a very nasty girl setting her up was horrid! On the plus side, there was no actual adult relations, mild teen romance, very much closed door policy which I really enjoyed. There was very little drunken antics, no actual drug taking, and I don't think there was any smoking which put it quite high on my list for a watchable drama (modesty wise - it's a beach show, so it's kind of obvious what they'll be wearing)
Horseland
...a sweet riding animation that teaches life each episode in a very fun way
H2O Just Add Water
...yup, still rewatching these - they're so much fun! Especially now I know what happens.
Elemental Gelade
...Ah, this truly is one of my favourite anime (I have a fair few favourites, but this is top) It's kind of magical girl needs saving adventure. Ren! I'd forgotten how much I adore her - I love her dress, and her power is stupendous.
Winx
...I've only watched a few as the end of season 1 is quite dark & I've needed lighter shows to watch.
Negima
...the original version, not the spin off which I don't like. It's quite deep in places, but also very light anime - it is for a teen/older audience though with innuendo.
Waterloo Road
...wow, it keeps getting more dramatic! Next week looks awesome.
The Great British Bakeoff
...this week it was donuts - who wouldn't like those? Next week looks more challenging with gingerbread houses - lots of things seem to go wrong in the trailer.
