Diary of a tard: Week 4, February 2011

Lucky☆Star episode 10: Kagami taught her sister how to used the handphone. Miyuki got a cold and went to clinic. She was so engrossed in her reading, she missed it when her number was called. Same thing happened when she got on a bus. She needs to pay more attention to her surrounding. Then they had a sleep over at Konata's house. Btw, I found it really hard to write a consistent review for this show.

She is so moe

Episode 3 of Kore wa Zombie desu ka?: Aikawa tried so hard not to let Orito knows that he is living with a three bishoujo. Obviously he will phailed. Halfway through they decided to get serious so Orito brought Aikawa to the hospital to visit Kyoko, another victim of the serial killer. She described the killer to Aikawa and it matches Hellscythe. Dum dum dum...

phailed

I want more laughter so I decided to watch Mitsudomoe episode 9: They are still on Gachi and there are still misunderstanding about Gachi and sex/porn and as always the teacher is in the middle of the shit. LOL I would have been traumatized if I was Yabecchi. On the next mini episode, Hitoha became a Santa and I was rolling off my chair laughing when she tried to get out of the room. Futaba is really awesome though when she becomes the ball for the ice bowling.

and that's how she came ^_^

Slowly but surely, Nurarihyon no Mago episode 5: Rikuo got a fever and the conflict about him being the third heir continues. So does his life as a student. His friends came over for a visit and we got a love triangle going on between Ienaga, Rikuo and Yuki Onna. I found this extremely cute especially when Yuki was flustered and shit. Rikuo and his paranormal crazy friends then went on a field trip to Umerakuen where Gyuki resides. The youkai traitor overheard the plan and set to kill Rikuo (again). Btw, I’m intrigued with the Crow Demon’s sons. I bet they are good looking. LOL

Episode 6 of Nurarihyon no Mago: The professor they met at Umerakuen was a troll. It was all a set up to kill Rikuo. I am glad that I can’t see spirits otherwise it would have been some scary shits. For example, those youkai at the onsen creep me out. However I refuse to believe that Horsehead and Oxhead are bad youkai. They are too good looking to be the bad guy. Of course my opinion will change if they end up getting killed instead. For now I take the “innocent until proven guilty” route. Sure they attacked Yuki Onna but that’s all Gyuki’s fault. Oh fuck, alright. So they are bad after all >>

Can’t stop now where it’s getting good. Finally Rikou is fighting as himself in episode 7 of Nurarihyon no Mago. Well, at least he did good trying to protect Yuki before the smexy Rikuo took over. Oh yeah, don’t forget about Kana. I really don’t like her character’s personality. It got all the ingredients of hate. I refused to accept her as the canon pairing for Rikuo. Btw, I learned that Zen’s seiyuu is Sugita ^_^ also I take back my words about the Crow Demon’s son. They look like… well… crow! *facepalm*

So hawt

Ookiku Furikabutte: Natsu no Taikai Hen episode 6: Abe agreed for a practice game with one of their opponents. He has also decided Mihashi training routine for him: no throwing unless he says so. Mihashi just happy that they are finally communicating. No denying the canon between these two. While others considered Abe as meddlesome, Mihashi took it that he cares about him. It was so obvious. They are going against Kounan and those boys have been practicing hard. The coach looks like he has something up his sleeves. Or was that the Touhei's boys? I'm confused =\

Oh Tajima, you are so made of win =D

Wednesday, February 23

I plan to watch as many episodes of Shangri-La today but before that I have to get the anime of the current season over with. I'll start with episode 7 of Level E: While the Color Rangers continue their adventures, the alien teacher is getting worried about the kids who at that moment need to save Princess Baka from the Demon Lord. But he did agree to go with the Demon Lord and thus we got to see their wedding night preparation. I wish I was spared though. The Demon Lord turned out to be good person who wants to defeat Ki as well and thus they found truce and end the trolling. That doesn't stop Ki getting his way in the end though.

Next up if Fractale episode 5: Clain is force to work to earn his place on the ship. Apparently Nessa is on board too but Clain can't see her for some reason. Could be that she hates him now but I doubt it. During the flight, something was wrong and the temperature inside the ship keeps on rising and the autopilot malfunctioned. No one could solved the problem so Clain steps in (without permission of course) and determined that Nessa was the cause. They ended up playing hide and seek with her. Phryne still being bitchy though and the Temple has finally found her and knows about Nessa as well. Good news is her relationship with Nessa as improved and it seems like everyone is having fun on the ship.

loincloth of the century

Soul Eater Not! chapter 2: Tsugumi, Anya and Meme went to the girls dorm where they meet with few other interesting characters: Kana the fortune teller, Misery the book nerd and Kim the witch. Wasted and useless chapter >>

They all kinda look the same, no?

As I promised myself yesterday, I am gonna start watching as many Shangri-La episodes as I can today. Resuming episode 5: Kuniko found Kunihito at that run down place and decided to investigate. It is suspicious to have a soldier at such place after all. Kuniko then was transferred into the computer world when she sought help from the three old geeks. She found out about Serpent as she's spying on some advance CPU. She also accidentally met Karin from Ishida Finance there. Then there's a crazy mental bitch Sayako who works for Atlas and cutting people up for fun who appeared randomly. Kuniko managed to steal the mimic armor from Kunihito during their "date". At the end of the episode, Karin is threatening the Minister.

Episode 6: Karin offered to destroy the Serpent. Kunihito decided to quit the military because of his negligence in the last episode but got rejected. Instead he was invited to the Moon Palace because Mikuni has taken an interest in him. Looks like there is someone in Atlas who is secretly protecting him. Sayako is confused as to how Kunihito has the same sword as Mikuni. Supposedly he and Mikuni should not meet because it clearly upset Hiruko, another crazy ass bitch. It has something to do with Mikuni being the moon, Kunihito the land and Kuniko the sun. Speaking of Kuniko, she helped to pin-point where the Serpent is hiding but then there's MEDUSA.

Episode 7: Kuniko got arrested by Ryoko. Tomoka followed suit which in my opinion will only further burdened Kuniko. She was being bullied for real and seems like Ryoko likes her too much, she will execute her.

Episode 8: It was the execution day but of course Kuniko managed to escape but those who helped her got shot and killed. She didn't know about this though. Also, Mikuni finally managed to go to the real world because of the eclipse and looks like she's going to meet with Kuniko for the first time. I was happy to know that Kunihiko was pretty bothered by Kuniko executions too.

Episode 9: Momoko-san was captured by the saddist Sayoko. May God have mercy on his transsexual soul. I feel like Ryoko is the really bad guy here. She's haywire. Not a good timing though since Kuniko kinda lost without Momoko and when she found out about Rena, Nao and the others, she lost it completely.

Episode 10: After few days of moping, Kuniko decided to take charge again and officially becomes the leader of Metal Age while Ryoko becomes the Prime Minister of Atlas. Mikuni the first to heard voices in her head and this marks the beginning of a new adventure. Unfortunately, it all goes according to Ryoko's plan.

Episode 11: Kunihito is stranded in a small boat in the middle of the ocean. His ship was attacked by the satellite. No one has idea who caused it. There's this strange boy that appeared in his dream and later on in front of Karin. He is Digma Zero also known as Canary. He's dead according to the files. By the way, the Sun, the Moon and the Land is also known as Digma-1, Digma-2 and Digma-3 respectively. I figured they are experimental child. I wonder what their true purpose is.

Shinryaku! Ika Musume episode 6: Noh Mask Rider came to town but Ika managed to make her looks like the bad guy when she was fighting with the Squi-Devil. She even wear the costume herself and fought Noh Mask Rider. Guess who came forth? The older sister so obviously Ika will lost. In the second stint, turned out Ika is really good with Math so Eiko is trying to learn the tricks from her. Lastly, Ika threatened Nagisa as usual. She was trying to stop Gorou from ruining the only person who's afraid of her. Nagisa thought that everyone has been brainwashed by Ika, Eiko thought Nagisa likes Gorou and so on. Haywire.

My Top 10: Anime of 2010

edit: I keep forgetting to post this one up. Oh well, who cares if I'm outdated anyway?

This has turned out as a tradition for most of us. I feel obligated to name my top ten anime for 2010 since I did the same thing for 2009. It's good to keep track, is all I'm saying and after watching the first two abysmal anime for the winter, I feel like it is even more important to pull out that gems from all the rubbish and gave it a proper recognition.

As usual lets start from the big numbers. Noted that this is my own personal preference. Be damn if you disagree :D

10. Seitokai Yakuindomo

(c) koga

If it wasn't for Glo, I probably wouldn't have bothered with this show. I glad that I let his opinion gets to me and thus I marathoned this show, something that I wasn't able to do for quite sometimes. The reasons that I was able to enjoy this show a lot are because of two things: the characters and the sex jokes. It might get old to some but I just freaking loving it. Too bad the last episode was just some reminiscing shit otherwise this one could end up with 9 for ranking.

9. Arakawa Under the Bridge

(c) eriyama

SHAFT did it again. This one is fresh and something different from the usual. I like different. This one certainly has that originality feel to it whether it's the art style or the story line. Can't say that I enjoy the second season more than the first one though. The quality of the two is too far apart. They tried to deepen the romance plot between Nino and Ko but it all just seemed too forced. If I feel the first season was lacking, the second season is worse.

8. Ookiku Furikabutte: Natsu no Taikai Hen

(c) haco

This one is totally picked for bias reasons. Reason number one is because I really did enjoy it a lot. The first season of this show can be considered my getaway anime for the sports genre. Needless to say, I was grateful to A1-Pictures for brought in the second season. I hope there is more :)

7. Star Driver

Kiraboshi! .v.>
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=1334674

When I first saw this show, I didn't take it seriously. I still do not taken it seriously till this day but there are just something about this show that made me enjoyed every episode so far. Maybe it's the Glittering Crux signal that I've been saying and implementing to unsuspecting people in real life, or the potential of yaoi between Sugata and Takuto or simply because of the absurdness of the exaggerations. Male mecha wearing heels? Only available in this show, man. Even with all that, the production team still takes anime seriously and produces quality anime. Kudos.

6. Giant Killing

(c) inudic

These made two anime sports in the list. Awesome. Giant Killing is basically one man show of Tatsumi. I just love how witty and cool he is. He reminds me of Jose Mourinho, who is one of my favorites, so it really is a plus. By the end of the show, I feel like I have bonded with the rest of the players as well. That was how I felt exactly when I finished Oofuri season one several years ago. That's a sign of a good show.

5. Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin

I just finished watching the whole show last week. I kinda put it on hold half way through. I forgot whether it was because I'm too busy with work or the story kinda put me to sleep but either way I glad I picked this one up again. It was still kinda out of this world with the whole occult and alien thingy but that's not why this show ended up in my top 5 anime of the year. This show reminds me of how important character development is. I kinda lost track for a while and never really give a damn about it but it goes to show how character development can turn a show around. Abe in the last episode is not the Abe you knew in episode 2. That was cool. And then there's the fact that it was produced by A1-Pictures and I just love Kozue as a character.

4. Durarara

http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=572026

I still have a couple of episodes to go and I'm saving the episodes for my moody day but as far as what I've seen so far, this one definitely deserved to be in the list for the sheer awesomeness of Izaya and each of the characters alone.

3. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

(c) kanata daiki

I love the hilarity of the whole show except when Himeji being moe and shit but whatever, Kouta still rocks. I wasn't expecting to like this show when I saw the preview chart but I ended up couldn't get enough of it. There are not much going on but the story is cleverly written to make it seems interesting and with a touch of funneh, this was a perfect mix for comedy. I am waiting with anticipation for season two. Hopefully it won't focus on Himeji and Yoshii because that would ruin the whole shit. I have high hopes indeed.

2. Kuragehime

(c) inoue mop

When I saw Kuranosuke, I sold my soul to the devil. When I saw Shuu, I bargained with the angel to let me in. I'm torn and that's why this one is so deliciously gooooood.

1. Working!!

(c) 48

The only show that I thoroughly enjoyed. I love the love triangle, the scheming, the androphobic, the cross dressing, the characters development, basically I love everything about it. Even with Kuragehime I raged at some point. Not with this one here. Every episode is entertaining and I really didn't have any idea what to expect. Just like Abe, I totally have different opinions about Takanashi by the time I've seen the last episode and just like Baka to Test Shoukanjuu and Kuragehime, I can't fucking wait for the second season. I hope there's one. There will be one, won't it? RIGHT?

Honorable mention: The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=199874

Simply a master piece.

Honorable mention: Cat Shit One

Fluffy bunnies carrying machine guns killing camels. You'll be crazy not to like this one.

And that ladies and gentlemen, concludes the year of 2010. Making this list made me realized how shitty the shows are as the year keeps adding up a number. Something needs to be done. Instead of doing some really lame and super dumb anime, they should stop producing and focus more on the quality of the anime and think of a plot that can put you on the map.

Diary of a tard - Week 4, May 2010

Sunday, May 23

I am so bored! *sigh*

So lets catch up on some Giant Killing episodes to kill the time. As expected the match with Victory was an interesting one. Gino impresses me more with his laid back attitude. The same goes for Tsubaki but for different reason. He's just fast and how should I say this... an all around good guy? Yep. That's who Tsubaki is. Sure he has lack of confidence but Tatsumi will take care of that problem. Heh, I thought that the guys going to win it but guess I was wrong but hey it was close. They draw and what a dramatic draw it was. In the end of episode 5, Tatsumi made Murakoshi captain again. I'm not happy about it but Tatsumi knows best. And then in episode 6, Tatsumi met few of his future enemy. Gah, I love the cheeky expression he has on his face the entire time. It spells warning that he and his team should not be looked down upon. He caught the eyes of a freelancer that wants to make it big so she'll be covering ETU for the rest of the season. Their next match was against Iwata and Sun Arrow Hiroshima. They lost, horribly if I may say so. All Tatsumi did was observed how his players play. As expected they were all stressed out. Kuroda more so than the others. So much so that he wants a transfer.

Completed Pandora Hearts DVD Special. I'm gonna miss the character, especially Break. I hope they come out with a new season of Pandora Hearts soon.

Oh? Emerging is only 22 chapters? But yeah, the serum that they worked on works. After 3 months, the two doctors went to Japan Alps to search the origin of the virus. And Mori didn't die. I really thought she was though. Damn I've been had. Is this really the end though? I got a feeling we would get a sequal soon.

Dogs - Bullets & Carnage chapter 51: Giovanni has successfully sneaked an attack and put three bullets through Zollner's head but he did not fall dead but instead antagonized Giovanni, and crushed his skull *is sad*. Didn't I say in the last chapter that Zollners reeks of bad news? I was right. The reason Giovanni attacked him was because of the Fuhrer. He is the creator of the Cereberos, or we have come to know as the Dogs. Basically he's Giovanni's "father". Meanwhile, in the underground, the "mother" is preparing another street attack. This time they are using the Cereberos (who happened to be bishies and hunks). Dang!


The Grendel was out of control in chapter 19 of Arago but the two of them have no problem apprehended the criminal thanks to Joe's quick thinking. It was a surprise turn of event for Arago. He thought that he'll be out of CID for sure but instead received applause for his heroic deed. How cliche. I'm thinking of dropping this one since the reason I started reading this was because of Ewan. With Ewan gone, I lack the motivation to continue. Besides, Joe is getting on my nerve :(

Zettai Karen Children chapter 217: Fujiko is worried about Hyobu who can't forget the past and too obsessed with the future that he forgot to live in the present. Minamoto on the other hand has moved out completely to the next door with Tim and Bullet. Kaoru of course will not accept it quietly. She broke the wall between the two apartments. Now they have an adjacent rooms. While they were busy arguing, they got a call from BABEL. There will be an earthquake in less than 10 seconds. I hope this is not one of Hyobu's doing.

Tuesday, May 25

Episode 8 of Giant Killing: Tatsumi once again used a game during practice to determine the start-up for the upcoming match. Kuroda has had enough and leave the pitch. Thanks to Sugi though Kuro realized that the both of them were lagging behind during a match while the team moves forward. They have start the preliminary match for the Japan league and Tsubaki messed up a lot. Gino was harsh on him but it is for his own good. The reason why Tatsumi made them go through the games was because he wants to rotate the players and extinguished the 'losing culture' in their veins.

Thursday, May 27

It has been a month since I last saw the episode of Ookiku Furikabutte. I neglected it on purpose, waiting for the episodes to accumulate so that I can enjoy a couple of hours sitting in front of my computer doing nothing but playing catch up with the series. Hanai is still pretty much intimidated by Tajima but that can’t be help. Everyone should feel intimidated by Tajima because he is the definition of win. But yeah, I do feel sorry for Hanai. His capabilities as a captain are in question. In episode 5, their opponent has realized that Tajima has an injury. This makes me sits on the edge since they are targeting Tajima. Tajima on the other hand still presses on. His team mates just have to trust him, I guess. I mean, he was really incredible with his plays. Every time I saw him, I could not help but be amazed. Not good for Hanai though but thankfully Mihashi helped him realized that a bit of inner team competition is good. It keeps you sharp and makes you wanna fight to come out the best. Finally the game ended with Nishiura winning 8 runs. Phew. I love the few last moment of the match. But I’m still worried about the upcoming games. They have a pretty determined team that wants to beat them to pulp :(

Kakoii!! ^__^

Muhashi looks like he was molested XD

Bleach chapter 405 is meh. Kubo is too busy playing with his analog stick -__-

Sunday, April 18

I dunno how did I miss the update of Hyakko chapter 37. The update was dated back in January! The battle continues. I didn't know that the teachers are joining as well. Suzume and Ode seem unstoppable until Kitsune started scheming with Takaya and Shishimaru to take down his rivals.


Angel Beats! episode 3: Hehe this shit of a show is so made out of win. The mosaic effects for Miyuzaki's films made me chuckled and that dude who called himself Christ is so retarded for a genius. By the way, the girl group we seen in last chapter is called Girls Dead Monster ot GirlsDeMo for short. Way better than After School Tea Time whatever-shit. The lead girl, Iwasawa, has wrote a ballad song for diversion and right after the performance she disappeared. This time their mission is to enter the Angel's lair i.e. Angel's bedroom. I must say that the animation during GirlsDeMo performance was awesome. I'm impressed. KyoAni can learn a thing or two from Aniplex. And dammit they did a good job with the suspense, drama and action too. Wow. Angel Beats is exceeding my expectation. The songs are addictive if nothing else.

Chapter 11 of Durarara!!

• talked about the incestship of the Yagiri. Nothing I haven't seen from the anime though.
  
• the budding relationship between Ryugamine and Sonohara.
• Selty has found her head and is chasing her around town.
  
• Ryugamine gets in the way and helped her head out.

Zettai Karen Children chapter 213: Minamoto has told the Children that he'll be moving out and stay with Tim and Bullet since they are turning into a woman. Just like I predicted, the culprit behind last chapter's attack is someone that Tim mentioned. I kinda get a feeling that he's the one with the barbie dolls all over the place and was kicked out of BABEL. Anyway, the PANDRA kids + Tim + Bullet went to his place but there are these guys with coated surrounded them with guns.

They are shading lights on Patchman and Joe's past in chapter 16 of Arago. Nothing interesting really, just another story of two partners working on a case. Now Joe is suspecting Arago because he has the portrait of the criminal that the leprechaun drew.

Rainbow is a pretty nasty stuff. I approved.

Wednesday, April 21

Bleach latest episode was okay I guess. We haven't reach the annoying part of the chanting yet so I'm chilling.

Thursday, April 22

Naruto chapter 492: Ballad rapping? More like ballad raping my ass! But the evil Naruto made me swoons. Awesome ^_^

Chapter 401 of Bleach left me speechless and my pantsu wets ^__^

Ah how time flies. It feels like only yesterday did I watch the 2nd episode of Ookiku Furikabutte. In the 3rd episode, Sakaeguchi has a theory as to why Mihashi refused to get off the mound: in middle school Mihashi was totally ignored but the game wouldn't start if he doesn't pitch. It sort of confirming his existence. Make sense. They are up against Sakitama. Momoe imo is too overconfident about this game being a called game so I feel like they are going to loose. As usual, Tajima notices the quirks of the opponents so early in the stage and casually talked to the opponent during games. He also warned Hanai about being satisfied, which made Hanai irritated. He's always managed to have fun in a game. That's one of the other things that I like about him. Then it's Izumi turn. Damn they made me so excited! Can't wait for next week!

Indeed!

The level of awesomeness for Arakawa Under the Bridge is >9000!

Kuroshitsuji chapter 44: They are divided into 2 groups. One stay upstairs while the other went down the cellar to look at the corpses. This is to determine the where about of the key of Earl's room. Since they failed to find the key on Sebastian's corpse, they went to search his room. I didn't know Ciel was allergic to cat. Do you? Anyway, the still couldn't find the key so they resorted to search the luggage. Mey Rin found the red liquid but recklessly forgot about it. Now the servants volunteered to search the outside compound. I don't blame them for being so emotional about the death of Sebastian. But yeah, I say this again: this is turning out to be like Umineko...


The battle continues in Emerging chapter 18. The virus is using the human body as it's carrier. They are sending 4 patients to America, hoping that their technology will help them find a cure. The doc with glasses was instruct to come to America as well. He seems reluctant though but he's about to change his mind >_>

Yay we are back to Badou in chapter 49 of Dogs - Bullets & Carnage. He and Mihai ended up in the hospital. Neubaten, the Director of the Central Administration Office apologized to the public and announced the reconstruction of the city etc. Badou immediately took interest when he seems to remember Neubaten's face. Meanwhile Heine and Naoto are having a talk about Heine's doubt. Yeah, he should stop being so emo.

I can tolerate the OP for Angel Beats. That is kinda a good news because I usually just skip the OP until its the review time. In episode 2, they gone through all sorts of trap in the underground Guild. Some were 'killed' rather brutally but no blood was shown. It was a little disappointing if not for the light humors. They also have serious moments like when Yurippe told Otonashi about her past life and why she's rebelling against God and the Angel. Make sense. This episode has some decent action too. Not bad at all. And yeah, I finally found the resemblance with Haruhi. That kinda pissed me off a little. Fortunately the ED is decent too, so that ease my rage, kinda.

The flashback scene in episode 2 of Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou does not sits well with me because just from the look of it that red head is the same person he encountered at the end of the last episode, whom I dislike almost immediately for obvious reasons. This anime is definitely a parody of Harry Potter. Even the headmaster looks like Dumbleshit. The story:

• Akuto got an observer who is willing to get into bed with him but ends up in the top of the closet (reminds me of Rukia).
  
• He fought a demon dog along the way.
  
• He got deceived by the dorm leader, ETou Fujiko
  
• He found the tail to deactivate Korone
• Fujiko has a brother complex. Yet another incest theme.

I wanted to do this in high school

Soul Eater chapter 73: HOLY SHIT!


Monday, April 12

I hope this trend continues. Amatsuki has got more updates. In chapter 48, we are back in the real world and those bunch of guys that I have yet to remember their names, are investigating the death of Suou, Toki's benefactor. At the end of the episode, they got a mission to infiltrate the Edo period. This could mean that Toki and Kon might be able to get back to the real world. In chapter 49, they did the infiltration. I don't remember what Sensai is so I'm kinda blank reading the whole thing. And then the program that Wakasa designed came to life and the one behind Kacchan (the program) coming to life is actually KON! Toki was around too! Fucking HELL and HOLY SHIT!!

Wow, I never thought that I would managed to complete Cheburashka Arere. It was cute I guess. I still don't get what the hell does that numbers at the top left of the screen means.


I was in a bad mood since morning. I am so glad I watched episode 2 of Arakawa Under the Bridge. It has the same effect as Gintama. EPIC.

Tuesday, April 13

Remember last week when we all thought that the leprechaun was the one behind the murders in Arago? Well, I retracted my statement. His stuff was stolen and the dude who stole it was the one behind the crime. Arago managed to capture the leprechaun and brought him back to his apartment where he got the lead on the murderer, thanks to the leprechaun. Just as he was about to head out, Rio dragged him to Joe's office where they found a file on Ewan. Apparently Joe has been hunting down Patchman. dum dum dum...

Episode 2 of Hakuouki - Shinsengumi Kitan: Sannan started to drift apart because of his wounded arm and Chizuru managed to convinced Hajime and Okita to take her during their patrol so she can search for her father. Like I predicted she caused trouble and Okita was blamed. But at least they got the spy and found out that they plan to burn the city of Kyoto and kidnap the emperor. Without wasting any time, they assembled their men. Sannan misread the situation and sent them to two different places which forced the Kondou team to attacked without backup. Chizuru was sent to relay the message to Hijikata as Sannan was alone at the headquarters. There is a possibility that the Shinsengumi HQ will be attacked since it is undefended atm. No blood but the episode is interesting enough to keep me at the edge of my seat.

The OP for Giant Killing imo is so appropriate with the theme of the show. In episode 2, they continue from where they left off in episode 1. Tatsumi is betting that the substitutes will beat the regulars. Glad to report that the production team really put their efforts in the animation during the match. It was awesome. And obviously Tatsumi's team won because of the strategies he used. The ex-regulars' prides were wounded, especially Murakoshi's because Tatsumi removed him from captaincy. Ouch. I gotta hand it to Tatsumi though. He takes everything in a stride, pissing people off as he did so. I am really liking this guy atm ^w^


Wednesday, April 14

Sex Pistols is awesome. Well yaoi in general is awesome except for Junjou Romantica. That one pissed me off.

Watching Sex Pistols makes me want to read Sex Therapist. Yeah, you guessed it. It's another yaoi smut. Fuck, I love the last chapter. Ah I wish I could get my own sex therapist ^^

Yosh, third season of Hetalia World Series!

Naruto chapter 491: Naruto was made to swallow the frog. Euw, couldn't they think of a better method to install it? After that the Raikage had another meeting. Heh, Gaara is so awesome during the meeting. Anyway they have decided to send Naruto away. Big mistake I think because he'll be with that rapper which mean Kisame will be around too? Failed.


I want to fucking kill Kubo after I read chapter 400 of Bleach.

Working!! episode 2: Hehe, it is fun watching Inami coping with her androphobic. Takanashi isn't helping much with the situation since he kinda have a dislike with anyone that's over 12 years old. Match made in heaven? Hardly as Takanashi becomes Inami's punching bag. Where else, we learned that Yachiyo is gay for Kyoko, the manager. I really don't get why people (read: Glo) is hating this show. It's pretty funneh.


In episode 2 of Ookiku Furikabutte ~Natsu no Takai hen~, the parents are recording the game at other stadiums so that the team can learn and observe their opponents. They also did a little back story on Momoe, something that I've been wondering for quite a while. Besides that, it was all about the game that they are watching, and their strategy for their upcoming game. I have fun, especially watching the interactions between the guys and I gotta see Tajima almost buttnaked self! He is made full of win ^^


I don't understand how people managed to see Yui as someone adorable. She's just fucking annoying, Sleeping in class? I would knocked her head with an iron ruler. She's dumb anyway. K-ON!! mission in episode 2 is to clean up the storage room. The only reason I can tolerate this shit is because of Ritsu.

I have finally succumbed to temptation. I decided that I can't hold it any longer and chose to see the LQ version of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya. I'm so glad that I am a fan of the show. The movie was beyond awesome. I want MOAR. Oh and the ED... it's addictive.

We gotta see Yuki's parent in the Bonus Night chapter of Vampire Knight. Them and her step-dad's younger days as a vampire hunter. But most importantly, we gotta see Zero and his twin brother as they were little.

Yeah, it was obvious now that Feather has feelings for Minamoto. It was strongly implied in chapter 212 of Zettai Karen Children. That disgusts me. Since they managed to find the rare metal, BABEL is trying to find a body that Feather can use so they interrogate her. Before any progress can be made, the Children were sent out on a mission. This time they are fighting the toy soldier. I got a feeling that their opponent would be pretty useful with finding Feather a body...

I'm picking up a shounen gender bender manga called Prunus Girl because I am hoping that they will have the yaoi theme at one point. It already has incest and yuri. Heh \^_^/

First Impression: Ookiku Furikabutte ~Natsu no Taikai Hen~

This is definitely the anime that I looked forward to the most. I can't get enough of the first season. If you have yet to see the first season, WTF are you doing? Watch it NIAO! Or damn on you.

Trust me. It's worth it. Even Baka-Raptor endorsed Oofuri (I'm just shooting in the dark here but I remember reading he said so when he comment in one of Glo's post in his ISSS or I could just making up story. Either way, Oofuri is great. Period. Those who said otherwise can suck my detached analog stick).

The second season started where it left off in season 1. I remember who Riou is and since I did read the manga (although is way behind the latest chapters), I guess they'll stick with the story from the manga.

This is going to be an intense second season. That much I can tell from the backstabbing and strategy they set up in the first episode.


Knowing this obviously made me nervous as hell for Tajima. Oh yeah, lets established that Tajima is my most favorite character in Oofuri. He is the most energetic and talented player out of the bunch. They would have lost a lot of game in season one if not for him. Abe comes second. And the rest of the baseball team come in third. You might hate the weak-willed Mihashi but I can't bring myself to do so. Yeah sure he can be annoying with his pussiness but he delivers.

From top left: Abe, Tajima, Mihashi, Izumi and Nishihiro.
Botton from left: Oki, Mizutani, Suyama, Sakaeguchi, Hanai and Momoe (the Coach)

In conclusion, I'm going to be a bias fucker and urge everyone to watch this series. You'll fall in love with it, I swear. Even if you don't, you'll learn to appreciate it. I mean, I know nuts about baseball until I watched the first season of Oofuri and now I'm hooked. It makes me interested in sports anime as well.
