Kekkaishi episode "Hurry Grandpa Shige"

Vic Mignogna is always a pleasant presence in an anime. :)

This anime, though, voicework aside, is pretty good. It's like how Bleach is, or was, with emphasis on the comedic as well as the obvious element of action.

For instance, at the beginning of this, Yoshimori's teacher takes a while to wake him up, to the dramatically freaked out reaction of the class. Once he awakens, the teacher explains the story he slept through. The story is told visually by little shikigami playing the story's characters. I found that an amusing, adorable touch.

The evil spiderish lady here really reminds me of Kagura from InuYasha. Similar look, for certain. That bored, heavy-lidded look, and the hair, and the earrings...she's like Kagura, and omg, she even has a spiderweb on her jacket, like Kagura's scar. That's interesting. Also, her voice is quite similar.

And interesting, a man with a number seven on his back. It's more elaborate, but very reminiscent, to me, of Bleach. The Soul Reaper captains, I mean.
