Anime: Fall 2013

Let's just get down to it, shall we?

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:

• Are you kidding me? How can an anime that focuses on megane NOT be in my must watch list. Hell yeah I'm looking forward to Meganebu! even when it has exclamation mark in it's title. Yeah I'm biased like that. Problem?
• Galilei Donna. Sounds stupid. But hey it's by A-1 Pictures. I'm not complaining (yet).
• I liked the first season of Yozakura Quartet. I hope the second season will deliver the same goodness too.
• It's Kyousogiga again!

ANIME WITH POTENTIAL:

• I have a soft spot for baseball anime and since Daiya no A is produced by both Madhouse and Production I.G., I expected it to be great.
• Serious shit looks like serious shit and I do like serious shit so KILL la KILL will probably get to be in the must watch list if I like what I see.
• Bishie alert in Samurai Flamenco! Hell yes.
• Yowamushi Pedal because I like sports anime.
• After Free!, Kyoto Animation is back to do their normal stuff and they are usually good at it. I have hope for Kyoukai no Kanata.
• J.C. Staff is pretty good with comedy so Golden Time should be pretty entertaining.
• Hey, come on. It's Lupin III.
• Incestship potential in Super Seisyun Brothers. Incest has becoming quite a theme in anime lately. I'm OK with this type of incest... I think. 
• A human girl that turned into a human eating monster? I have to check out Pupa for that reason alone.

AVERAGE ANIME:

• I'll be honest. I'm already envious as fuck with Yui. She get to live with not one, but six sadistic good looking vampires. Because of this, I got a feeling that I might end up hating Diabolik Lovers.
• I'm not into games and usually can't relate well with anime that has game as it main plot. So I guess Log Horizon might be something that I'll check out but end up as an anime that I don't give a shit about.
• P.A Works usually will win me over with their superb animation but I will have problem digesting the character from Nagi no Asukara if indeed she's a cry baby. I just hate girls without backbones.
• I still haven't watched Infinite Stratos season 1 so I'm just gonna download this for future benefit, if any.
• I was hoping that the moe avengelist is somewhat a trap. As I read the synopsis further, I got disappointed and quite disappointed with Outbreak Company.
• Though I haven't finished watching the first season Phi Brain, I liked it a lot so yeah I'm definitely gonna get the second season as well. Why it's not in the potential list? Well, it was good, but not that good.
• I want to know what the rest of the gundam fans have to say about Gundam Build Fighters. They are usually very critical with this sort of anime nowadays.
• Well, that girl in alluring kimono sure got me going. Kikou Shoujo wa Kizutsukanai can be interesting I guess.
• I lost Kuroko no Basket first season DVD when someone broke into my car. It kind turned me off since I have no idea what's going on except for the occasional BL fanart I see on my TL.
• I sort of looking forward to Non Non Biyori. It must be that slice-of-life thingy.
• There's no harm getting the second season of Valvrave the Liberator second season since I have the first season with me.
• Tokyo Ravens has potential to be entertaining if it's done right. Lets hope it does. I like girls in kimono after all.
• Err... yeah, I know Magi is produced by A-1 Pictures but since I haven't finished watching the first season...
• Gingitsune. I don't know what to say to be honest. But it doesn't look that bad to warrant it to be in the anishit list. We'll see.
• Opposite attraction in Strike the Blood.
• I have never been a fan of futuristic anime. Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio -Ars Nova- need to have some seriously good plot to impress me. 
• Another futuristic anime of the season: Coppelion. Oh well.
• A male protagonist decided to be slave for the female protagonist. Oh boy I just have to see how Walkure Romanze screw things up.
• I think I've watched White Album before and wasn't comfortable with the complicated feelings. I'm not sure I want to watch this one =\
• I'm taken in by the poster. I hope Neppu Kairiku Bushiroad won't disappoint. Then again, it's a mecha. 
• Blazblue Alter Memory sounds so freaking meh.

ANISHIT:

• I'm just saying NOPE to Battle Spirit Saikyou Ginga Ultimate Zero.
• The same NOPE goes to Gaist Crusher. So gays.
• Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai! looks like an ecchi shit. Plus it has an exclamation mark in it's title. That's a fair warning that this is going to hurt my brain and makes me rage. 
• Saw the girl with big boobs and read the title: Freezing Vibration. Just no.
• Not saying Pokemon XY is shit but for someone my age, well... it is.
• Miss Monochrome. I don't get it.
• Seiyuu Sentai Voicetorm 7. What kind of a fucking title is that?
• I don't give a shit about student's extracurricular activities. There's too many of that kind of anime already. I'm sorry Tesagure! Bukatsu-mono.
• I have no desire to start watching Hajime no Ippo now.
• I have to put Ore no Nounai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Love Come o Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru in this list for two stupid reason. 1) That title is a mouthful 2) It's sorta full of lolis. Not my thing.
• I can't believe that Little Busters! get a second season. Oh wait... I sort of want to watch this shit >_>

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

• Sakasama no Patema
• Persona3 the Movie

I'm in a hurry so yeah, that's all folks!

Bleach: Episode 274

Okay I am pissed. Why? Read the note from dattebayo...



Yeah apparently crunchyroll has gained the rights for Bleach as well, just like they did with Naruto and Gintama. This is crap man... I've been with dattebayo since they took over from Lunar years ago. I surely gonna miss them. Thanks dattebayo for your commitment to Bleach all these years. Much appreciated.

If crunchyroll think they'll get me to watch Bleach on their site, they better think again. I rather download the horriblesubs torrent.

But yeah back to the episode. I like this episode because I have been wondering for sometimes what are the espada represents. I know I read it in the manga but I have forgotten the details. This is why I decided to write an episodic for Bleach. At least it will remind me of stuff that I want to remember.


I am going to pretend that there is something wrong with what Yammy represents. Rage is definitely not it. But that is for another discussion.

At the moment, Toushiro looks to have find an equal footing with Hallibel. At least they talked a lot and explained their attacks a whole lot more so that kinda make it seems believable.

awww... what a cute bishouta =3

To tell you the truth, I am actually impressed with Toushiro. He might be a shouta but he still uses his wits. I guess he was a prodigy for a reason. I dunno if his fight with Hallibel was this long in the manga. Is it?

*shrugs*

I seriously can't believe how fucking lazy the production team are though. They used the same frame over and over again especially when they wanted to show the fallen fukutaichos. What the fuck man... we aren't dumb. We can fucking tell the shittiness of it all.

*sighs*

The EPIC fight of Ulquiorra only got 3 episodes. This fight better end in the next episode or I will RAGE.

Diary of a tard: Week 2, September 2013

Free! episode 10: I get to see Rin as a kid, having fun with them three boys. So that's good. Other than that it was another boring episode of Rei trying to figure out what the hell happened and feel left out with all the talks about Rin. At the end, he went to Rin school to talk to him personally. Can't wait to see what they are going to talk about, with Rei being Rei and Rin being Rin.

badass looking Rin is badass

Episode 6 of Genshiken Nidaime: First of all, I really want to read the Sasa x Mada manga that Ogiue make. Anyway, Suzy adviced Ogiue to show it to Haru so he won't feel alone. It kinda backfired but it;s all good. Then some dude from leadership club tried to make a move on Hato. Thank goodness Yashitake brought her sister along (who dressed up as a boy) and get Yajima hopeful for a moment. She then brought them to her house with a mission. She wanted to see Hato naked but bad luck because Yajima and her sister end up seeing Hato's hot dog. I am envious. Oh and dafuq is wrong with Kuchiki-san? LOL

Hachiken isn't happy with his test score even though he's on top of the class in episode 4 of Gin no Saji. But that was quickly forgotten when he found a stone oven when he's cleaning the campus. No one has ever taste a pizza so he ended up making pizza for everyone with the help of everyone of course. This episode sure makes me wanna bake some pizza myself. It's a warmth episode for sure.

Love Lab episode 5: They went through with their plan to help out the girl who asked them about what gift should she get her crush. Riko took all the blame but once everyone found out, she was done for. Ended up she studied for her English and soon got good grades for it. Nothing much going on in this episode except that towards the end, they asked Riko how to make boys fall for you.

For some reason I'm watching Korra episode 6. Yes, I redownload that shit because everyone is so hype about season 2. I thought I should try and watch it again so I picked it up where I left it a year  ago. Korra team versus Tahno team in the final and Tahno team won because they cheated. Before that, Aman has threatened to do something nasty if they continue with the tournament. Because they ignored his threat, he then made a grand entrance and easily took away Tahno's bending. Korra and Lin tried to stop him but failed. Ok, it wasn't bad of an episode. I just need to put aside my dislike for Korra in order to enjoy the show, I guess.

Holy shit. Shingeki no Kyojin episode 18: The female Titan is still chasing Eren and for some reason, even though many lives were lost, the mission still continue and Commander Erwin brought them to the Forest of the Giant Trees. They thought they could have the upperhand because of the tall trees but damn it the female titan is merciless, killing them soldiers like they were made of match stick. Armin and I feel like Levi and Commander Erwin have something up their sleeves. They are sacrificing a lot of lives though and I am not happy with that =\

delicious

I just need to find out what happened next in episode 19 of Shingeki no Kyojin: I didn't expect a flash back though. It seems like in order for Eren to transform into a Kyojin, he needs to self-inflict pain and a clear goal otherwise it won't happen. This flash back came about because Eren wanted to transform when he saw his comrades getting killed one by one by the female Kyojin. But the other comrades on his team were determined to follow Levi's order which is to go forward regardless. Since they have faith in him, Eren chose to have faith in them too. Apparently, Levi and Commander Erwin have a plan. They finally managed to secure the female Kyojin and that was the plan since the beginning. Erwin seems unsympathetic about the amount of lives that are lost. I don't like this guy.

Looks like I'm marathoning Shingeki no Kyojin. On to episode 20! oh shit. They caught the female Kyojin but she's calling in the other Kyojin to eat her up while she ran away. Now she's killing Eren's troop one by one. This is fucked up. Where's Levi?

Well, the troops are all dead except for Levi and Eren in episode 21 of Shingeki no Kyojin. Needless to say, this pissed me off greatly. And it pissed Eren too which made him transform into a Kyojin. I just wished he would fucking kill the female Kyojin without having to talk to himself. He didn't and so the female Kyojin defeated his Kyojin and swallowed him whole. Now she's taking him somewhere. The only soldiers following her are Levi and Mikasa. For their skills, I say that's plenty. Have I said how disappointed I am with this episode? Urgh...

Shingeki no Kyojin episode 22: Mikasa and Levi managed to save Eren and holy fuck Levi is made of pure winsome. I jizzed in my pantsu watching him fight. Anyway, once they retrieved Eren, they went home. They just let the female Kyojin go. Two stupid fucks defied an order and caused some of the bodies to be abandoned including Petra. As they came back, they were heavily critisized because of the number of death and the failed mission. Erwin was called in to the capital and it was decided that Eren will be handed over to them from now on.

Haru was in shocked after he lost to Rin in episode 8 of Free. He keeps wondering why the hell is he feeling so crappy if he didn't care about winning etc. Hmm, another dorama. Anyway, none of them can go into the final but Gou secretly registered them for the relay the next day. They were worried that Haru doesn't wanna enter the relay but since he's all fired up now, it's not a problem. Obviously this doesn't sits well with Rin since he thought he won't be swimming with Haru ever again.

Free episode 9: Haru finally found a reason for swimming. It's no longer just because he wanted to. It's because he wants to swim with his friends. It was such a pussy revelation, I am hardly impressed. On the other hand, my heart reaches out for Rin. When he reminiscing about their relay as friends/kids, I feel so bad for him. In the end, he decided to join his swimming team relay as well and Haru quickly learned about the news. More dorama in future episodes for sure.

I'd wife him so hard

Episode 5 of Blood Lad: The problem with this show is, it evolves around Fuyumi and I just want that bitch to die. Obviously I can't enjoy watching Blood Lad as long as she's around. Anyway, Staz met his brother, Vlad d. Braz, and got his power back. Back in the demon world, Wolf boy had to fight Akim, the artificial monster Franken created in order to save Fuyumi. It was all meh. Having said that, I see incest potential between Staz and Vlad and I like it!

The Crowds saved the tragedy from happening in episode 4 of Gatchaman Crowds. Jui quickly confronted the Alien (his gatchaman is awesome btw) but couldn't take him on his own. He did learned that the Alien has a notebook too which mean he is somewhat a Gatchaman of some sort. Upon hearing this, D-chan and Pai were both looking damn serious and shit. Apparently, they know the Alien who has been destroying planets after planets. It is also revealed that Rui got his power from the Alien and with a little push, he's ready to make the world accelerate. Whatever that means.

They introduced the family members in episode 2 of Uchoten Kazoku. There's a frog, an over anxious brother, that timid young brother, the prince of a mom who scared of lightning and of course, our protagonist. It was revealed that their dad was killed (by Benten) and enjoyed in a hot pot. Did the Japanese has somewhat a tradition of eating a racoon or something? They have these two twins who wanna take over their legacy. All the family members of the twins are asshole except for the daughter. Makes me curious to see and get to know the daughter...

Free episode 6: I don't appreciate all the unneeded dorama that's going on in this episode. First Makoto failed to save Rei. Then Haru and Nagisa helped them both. They were stranded on a deserted island. They stayed up all night telling sop stories etc and then went back to their camp in the morning. All is well because Makoto just want to swim with the rest of them. Urgh.

Monday, August 26

The day of the tournament in episode 7 of Free. Well, Rin won against Haru which mean Rin won't be swimming with Haru anymore. Never, he said. This somewhat really bothers Haru. I guess all he ever wanted is to swim with Rin again and have fun like they used to. Awwww....

Rin is still my favorite character ^_^

Shingeki no Kyojin episode 17: Well, it's intense as fuck. They went out to scout and everything was going well until a female kyojin appeared and brought the whole other stupid kyojin with her which annihilated most of the scouts. This female kyojin is intelligent though and just like Armin said, might be driven by a human. She's searching for someone. She could have killed Armin (twice) but didn't. I wonder who she's looking for. At the moment, the only logical person anyone is interested in is obviously Eren. It's depressing watching the humans getting devour by the Kyojin. It pissed me off too. Luckily Jean and Reiner survived with Armin as they tried to lure the female kyojin away so that Eren's scouting group has time to retreat.

Episode 5 of Genshiken Nidaime: Angie, Ohno's friend from USA (was it?) is hitting on Madarame. Hato doesn't like this. I'm not sure because he has feelings for Madarame or because he knows that Madarame likes Kusakabe. Hato also met Kousaka and admitted that Madarame has no chance of winning against him. I agree. Anyway, he interfered with the flirting and ended up revealing his BL thoughts about Madarame being the uke in any given pairing. Angie was still determine but as usual Sue saved the day. With a swift kick in the butt, she sent Angie home. Sue is awesome ^__^

so shocked he is with that piece of news
