I followed Anime Network's suit and posted on my blog my own story on it too, below:

I've had a chance to watch all three new shows. Sugar was cute, and had some nice art work, but I don't see myself watching the whole series. I'm sure the younger crowd will really enjoy this though. Dokkoida shows some promise. I've only watched the first episode, but I did enjoy it. Popatan was also pretty good. I think I'll be watching that series as well.

So, I will finally get to see the infamous Popotan? Good, I've been interested in this since Sentai announced it a while back. I will probably pick up the DVDs at some point at well.

Make that famous!

I'm surprised Sentai and Section23 aren't pushing some marketing with the Caramelldansen meme somehow, or at least mentioning it somewhere. With how popular and widely seen it is, could snag a few potential buyers who might not have otherwise have bought it. I'm gonna take a look at my google analytics in the next few days to study how the Caramelldansen inclusion has affected my story.

I can't wait to watch all 3 shows myself, as I haven't seen any of these yet.

Don't get me wrong, I've watched plenty of stuff that was probably aimed towards a younger crowd. This just may not be something I like. I could be wrong though, I'll have to watch another episode or two.

Nah, you're right (in that it does appeal to younger crows too). I was just remarking since Coffee is a fan - thought he might have a differing opinion and he knows this series probably better than anyone here. Also I was joking in that it was an amusing thought since Coffee is the polar opposite of a kid, but also one of the bigger supporters of this show - in that sense it's not expected (unless you know Coffee's tastes).

This is one of those shows that's known to take cute and sugary to the extreme - but in a good way - supposedly (I haven't seen it yet, only know what I've read). Most of the people who tend to like it tend to be the hardcore otaku bunch, but yeah it's also very well suited for younger viewers.

It's definitely not for everyone, that's for sure.
As for me, I certianly tend share a kind of highly uncommon kinship for this kind of stuff for people around my age, as I'm quite in touch my childish side.

Not that there's anything wrong with that! Sometimes it's more fun to watch cute and charming shows than intellectual mind-benders.

As far as the first part... all I know is, TBS shows are for everyone, even non-anime fans! They're also going stop war and save the world economy, as well, in the near future.
