Shingeki no Kyojin episode 10: More of Armin being heroic this time around, just to convince us (and himself) that he's actually useful. Well, at least he has saved Eren from getting executed by that useless cowardly officer. That and Pixis decision to spare all three of them their lives in condition that Eren help with stopping the other Titan from entering the wall by putting the big boulder in the wall. Eren said he will do it though I doubt he has self control when he becomes a Titan. Let just wait and see.

Episode 11 of Aku no Hana: the pacing for the third half of this episode is killing me but once it pick up, it was exhilarating. It has been a month since the incident of them trying to run away from the town (or at least Nakamura and Kasuga did). Kasuga finally broke up with Saeki properly but obviously he feels hollowed and empty inside. Then he has an epiphany through his dream. He realized that Saeki would be alright but Nakamura will suffer because she has no one else in this world but him. Yeah, I squealed =3

So the humans proceed with the plan to reconquer the land in episode 11 of Shingeki no Kyojin. As expected, some shows extreme fear of being eaten by the titans but Pixis reassured them with his speech and all is well again. Armin went with the decoy team while Mikasa joined the elitist to protect Eren. The plan seems flawless but once Eren became a titan, the first thing he did was attack Mikasa. Heh...

First Impression: Love Live! School Idol Project

Those who are close to me know that this is definitely not  my kind of anime but guess what, I ended up liking it.

Yeah, I surprised myself sometimes too.

Maybe because none of the girls annoyed me yet.

(c) Yui (Rogusouku)

Anyhoo, it is pretty much about girls  trying to save their school from closing down by getting together and created an idol group so that their school become popular, get more enrollment and BAM!

I dunno what that BAM! is supposed to be.

But yeah, I'm watching this whenever I feel like killing ponies.

First Impression: Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge

I wasn't sure why didn't I put this anime in the anishit list when I first wrote the preview. I mean, reading the synopsis made me facepalm. An anime about hair is somewhat sounds so pretentious to me and for some reason I somewhat dreading this shit.

Let see if I'm right and that this is going to be one hairy ride.

that loli ass

10 minutes in I know I won't like this show at all so I decided to drop it altogether. Though it wasn't bad, it wasn't good either. Plus I don't understand shit (or my brain refused to do so).

I was right.

Anime: Summer 2013

Summer is upon us. There will be influx of supposedly good/great movies at the cinema but who cares about that when we have anime. Here is the preview of summer anime by yours truly. By the way, it feels good getting back on the routine of blogging :)

As usual, I'm using my preview template for this shit, because I'm lazy as fuck. Even the previous sentence was copied from the previous preview for Spring heh.

Disclaimer: I'm basing my opinion on the synopsis of the shows. They are pretty telling at times but can be totally misleading at some other times too.

(c) moetron

So here goes.


MUST WATCH:

• I am a classy biased motherfucker so it is only natural that Servant x Service will be in my must watch list even though the title is very suggestive of a genre that I usually rage upon. All simply because this show is produced by A-1 Pictures. 
• Looking forward to Gin no Saji: Silver Spoon as well for the same reason. A1-Picture produced this show damn it!
• Whoever who does not looking forward to Genshiken Nidaime is a retard. 
• I don't think I need to explain myself why Free! is in my must watch list. This is like... the source of bOnar for me for the summer. 

ANIME WITH POTENTIAL:

• Ah, Monogatari Series Second Season is a good reminder for me to watch the first one.
• I like what I see with Uchouten Kazoku and since it's comedy, I have somewhat an expectation.
• Finally I saw something that perks my interest. Blood Lad is definitely one of the anime that I look forward to this season simply because, well, I have weird fetish.
• Lately I have become a fan of slice-of-life so Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui! definitely sounds like something that  I would enjoy for the simple fact that the protagonist looks like a geek fuckard. 
• Brain Base's latest anime, Brothers Conflict, is obviously about incest. I don't care if it's not of the same father/mother. Incest is incest. I might like this. Uguuuu~
• Season 3 of Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai. I enjoyed the first two season so I hope this third season will deliver as well.
• I would like to see how the fans of Fate/Stay Night would react to the spinoff: Fate/kaleid line Prisma☆Illya. It would be awesome if ufotable would produced this but oh well.

AVERAGE ANIME:

• I used to watch Kingdom until my computer was stolen which mean I lost great deal of anime episodes with it as well. I guess I just have to skip Kingdom season 2 then...
• I wasn't sure whether or not I have the first season of Tamayura. It is somewhat feels familiar. I doubt that I have time for Tamayura ~More Aggressive~ though. Maybe I'll just take a sneak peak of the first episode to get the first impression about this show. 
• I bet Kimi no Iru Machi will have cliche plot. Girl A invade Boy's life > Boy is annoyed with Girl A > Boy in love with Girl B > Somewhat at the end Boy fall for Girl A.
• Gen'ei Kakeru Taiyou is targeted to all the lolicons. It looks too childish for my taste.
• I know I have Symphogear season somewhere or maybe I have lost it when my computer was stolen last year. I doubt that I will be bothered with Senki Zesshou Symphogear G though. It wouldn't be fair if I throw the show into the anishit list so lets put it here with the rest of the average anime.
• Another anime targeted for the lolicon. If the comedy in Kin-iro Mosaic is something that I can laugh at then I'll probably gonna like this show otherwise it has potential to be in my anishit list.
• I haven't seen Senyuu and suddenly second season is here. Was it good?
• "Dolls" that can fight and can power up? I'm telling myself not to fall for the art that accompany the synopsis because I have a feeling that Fantasista Doll is going to be another ridiculous show that targeted to the male audience.
• Even Teekyuu has a second season? Haha, okay this show is somewhat funny however I still can't justified why did it get another season.
• Shoujo-ai anime of the season, Love Lab, is definitely not my kind of anime but I'm sure it's not bad.
• I have problem trying to digest the plot for Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou. There are too much going on; a boy, book, dog, scissors and a sadistic novelist. It can't be that bad, can it?
• The plot doesn't seem so bad and even has potential to be good. But looking at the studio and the style of animation, I doubt that Danganronpa Kibou no Gakuen to Zetsubou no Koukousei can deliver. 
• Toukurei Sochi Dantai Stella Jo-Gakuin Koutou-ka C3-Bu is a story centers around high school girls ("who looks super good in mini skirts") - Wait what? FFFFFF-
• The plot is illogical but meh this is anime where anything is possible. I don't like emo girls who thinks she's superior to any other human being so  I might end up not liking Rozen Maiden at all, even more so when the male protagonist sounds like someone that can be pushed around by the said girl.
• I still have problem understanding why when student don't want to join any after school activities join club that somewhat created for that purpose. For example, Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku this season. They better have some strong characters otherwise I'll be raging all the way.
• The characters look cute enough but it's some sort of a mecha anime so I don't think I will go loco for Gatchaman Crowds, especially since it looks like the pilots are mainly loli. 
• All I see are bishies so I might end up liking Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist for that. LOL I wish I am that shallow of a fan. 
• Yay, another lolicon anime. Ro-Kyuu-Bu! SS got a second season. I cannot brain >_>
• Since it is produced by Madhouse, I saw a glimpse of hope for Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi. Having said that, reading the plot kinda eliminate all hopes LOL

ANISHIT:

• Jeebus, why the hell did they make a sequel for Recorder to Randoseru Mi ☆
• Second season of High school DxD? How about NO?
• Saying no to Futari wa Milky Holmes as well.
• Didn't enjoy the first season because it's too shoujo-ish for my liking. I doubt the second season of Hakkenden-Touhou Hakken-Ibun would be any different.
• Chou Jigen Game Neptune the Animation is the ecchi anime of the season it seems. The genre is enough to put me off.

As for the movies, I look forward to the following:

• Hal
• Kick-Heart because Production IG produced it. Yep, just like that.
• Same goes for Arise-Ghost in the Shell-border: 1 Ghost Pain
• And ZOMG Gintama's movie FUCKING WANT!
• Studio Ghibli's Kaze Tachinu
• Holy shit A1-Pictures is coming up with Ano hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-taichi wa Mada Shiranai movie? AWWW YISSSS

That's all folks!

Aku no Hana episode 10: it was intense as fuck. Throughout the episode I kept wishing that Saeki got hit by a lorry or something and die. Kasuga and Nakamura's plan to go beyond the hill was flawless until she showed up. She ruined everything. Kasuga, when put on a spotlight, has no idea who to choose. It was obvious that he longs for Nakamura. He didn't even resist (much) when Nakamura stripped him naked. When Saeki told him that she doesn't him being a pervert and shit, Nakamura walked away. I squealed when Kasuga ran to her to stop her. The best drama right there!

First Impression: Devil Survivor 2

I am usually into the gore, evil, supernatural stuff but during the preview, I don't get any gore/spooky/thrill feelings from reading the synopsis.Oh well, we all know how misleading the synopsis can be. Lets hope that it doesn't failed me, especially with the promise of so many bishie in it. Also, I wasn't sure if there's a prequel to this series. According to MAL, there isn't.

(c) 3838383

At first I thought it was stupid as fuck, probably because Hibiki looks like the biggest pussy ever. And then there's those wolf-like demons and then the summoned-demons. Both are equally stupid as well. I was ready to drop this shit but something just made me sit here and watched it till the end and guess what, somehow it turned out okay thanks to the other mysterious characters that appeared towards the end.

This show is indeed about demons. The person who summoned them are supposed to be dead but thanks to this application that they downloaded, they got a second chance to be a hero. Obviously the type of demon they may summoned depends on their power level and somehow Hibiki's just up there which kinda pissed me off but whatever.

I dunno where will it go from here. Maybe I'll find out if I was interested. I won't drop this though. It wasn't that bad that it deserved to be in the anishit list. It is just... average.

Having said that, I do want to meet the other summoners. They look rather... interesting ww.

Aku no Hana episode 9: Saeki refused to break up with Kasuga. She didn't mind that Kasuga did all those things and even glad that he did. She's angry that he chose to tell Nakamura instead of her though. This only made Kasuga confused, even more so now that her mother knew it was him who vandal the classroom. He ran away and ended up where Nakamura and he used to hang out after school. Naturally Nakamura was already waiting for him. I love the fact that when Kasuga asked her to stay with him, her answer is "No, you will stay with me, you little piece of shit".

Episode 8 of Shingeki no Kyojin: the abnormal Titan helped them defeated the other Titans. Thanks to Armin's calm plan, they managed to get to the supply tower and stock up on their gases. Jean questioned himself whether or not he's fit to be a commander but his friend convinced him that he is. Sorta. Well, I still doubt that he can though. At the end of the episode, the abnormal Titan was spent (after being eaten alive by the other Titan) and guess who merge from the corpse? It's Eren though he's dead as well. I am still unsure how or what the deal with him being a Titan etc...

Episode 9 of Shingeki no Kyojin: So it is finally revealed how Eren becomes a Titan. It all thanks to his dad. All he needs to do is bite the side of his thumb and voila! The soldier was ready to shoot him down because they all saw him emerged from the Titan's body. Obviously Mikasa and Armin won't let them but since they were so adamant, Eren has no choice but to protect his friends by becoming a Titan. On the other hand, Levi is awesome as fuck but I can see him as a threat to Eren since he's determined to eliminate all Titan and Eren is one now.

Love Live! School Idol Project episode 2: The girls are having trouble finding a place for them to practice but that issue solved rather quickly. They started to practice diligently and slowly but surely other students are showing support for them as well, including the president of the student council. They also managed to convince Maki to write their song for them.

I'm pissed at someone but instead of feeding the troll, lets read some manga!

And holy shit Kannagi has new chapters! Chapter 41 and 42: There is still no Nagi though Jin tries hard to bring her back. Now that he finds help from Shouhou everything looks fine but what Jin doesn't know is the fact that Shouhou is actually a girl. Ah I can see some conflicting shit in the future where Shouhou fall for Jin etc. Urgh I just want my Nagi back. Where is she?!

First Impression: Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun

I watched this when it was first came out. During that time, I was busy as fuck so I didn't have to write a proper first impression post. I regretted not writing one since I have to rewatch this in order to remember what was it all about.

Yes, it's forgettable.

 This show is about Shino and Sousuke, both has the power to control/be animal who lives as monk at some mountains. The Church are interested in them and knew that they can find the gems that they wanted so it was their mission to retrieve those gems or death by the Church law. Oh they also need to protect their sister Hamaji (not by blood) from being used.

Yeah, the plot is fucked up too.

There's really nothing interesting that worth mentioning about this show so I think I have finally decided to drop this shit. It's far too shoujo-ish for me.

First Impression: Aku no Hana

I have no idea what to expect from this show. I have tuned out most of the things that were said about it on twitter. I just don't want any kind of spoiler. When I wrote the preview, I said that this show has potential to be good since I have no idea what it is going to be about which most of the time, is a good thing for me, since I do not appreciate cliche. Let see whether this will end up to be good or retarded.

I got goosebumps all over when I watched this. It's unusually good.

I love that it's not pretentious with the animation, or the interaction between the characters. I love the fact that the protagonist is male who loves to read. I love the creepy ED and I also like the fact that it managed to stay mysterious throughout the episode.  It just makes me craving for more.

I am not sure what the public consensus about this show is since I'm late at watching it but I really don't care. It's quite an unorthodox anime and I love weird and heavy shit like this.

I was right. AWWW YIISSSSS.
