It has been a while I got this excited for an anime. In fact, I can't remember the last anime that got me all worked out like this. Needless to say, I think Aku no Hana is a very awesome anime. I definitely recommended it to everyone.
It’s that day when I got another level up in life. I’m turning a year older again today. So many things have changed in a course of a year. I read what I wrote on my birthday last year and I almost choked with laughter at how ridiculous everything sounds.
So overall, year 2012 has indeed been kinder to me. I have achieved what I set out to achieve but most importantly, I unexpectedly found love which is easily the highlight of the year for me.
I need an outlet to express how I feel nowadays. To be honest, things are going too good for me at the moment to the point that I am sort of living in fear for I do not want these extremely good feelings, and the love I have for him to end. If all these are gone tomorrow, there is a big probability that I might lose sanity.
Welp, looks like we are having this conversation again after so many years. Well 2 years and 3 months to be exact. The last time I wrote about my crush, I was in a different state of mind where I know it can be nothing more than just that, a crush.
I know of this series through the manga. The manga is full of bishies so naturally as a fujoshi it quickly becomes one of my favorite manga to read until the day came when I stopped reading manga because I was too busy. So somewhat the series was forgotten. So I'm glad that they decided to make an anime out of it!

Well, that feeling of glad doesn't lasted very long. Half way through the first episode I was at lost. I blame it all on myself because I cannot remember anything that I've read from the manga. The only thing I remember are the characters and Circus. Other than that, nada.
So, I feel a little bit disappointed at the show as well at myself. I have high expectation for this show but it didn't satisfy me at all. Having said that I am still gonna watch this. I am sure that it can only get better from here onwards.
By the way, Gareki is my favorite character when I read the manga. I remember him being more aloof in the manga though.
That's about all I can say from watching this first episode of Karneval. Not much, huh? Not even a rant.

I'm checking all these stupid shows so that you don't have to. Aren't I nice or aren't I nice? But in all honesty, I don't think this show is going to be bad if they managed to get the comedy to be actually funny for a change. So I'm crossing my finger and hope that it will manage to make me laugh at least once.

Binbougami ga! is about Mimoji who is the God of Misfortune and Ichiko, the girl with all the fortune in the world. Ichiko is causing inbalance to the world so Mimoji was sent to set things right. It was fun in the beginning, where Mimoji just said whatever the fuck she wanted but then when Ichiko was introduced, I lost any interest with the show. She was annoying.
As I thought, I won't be watching this show either. It is just too stupid for me and the joke ain't funny either. Most of them were overused. I stuck to the end of the episode waiting for Hiro's character to made an appearance but he never did which mean I just have to watch the second episode. Damn it.
I guess I'll watch until episode 2 and see how it goes. Jeebus I'm such a seiyuu fag.
edit: I've watched the 2nd episode and still no Hiro. I feel cheated. Fuck this I'm dropping this shit.
In my preview for Fall, I predicted that Ben-to could possibly be the worst anime of the season just based on that synopsis alone. So far C³ is on the first place for the shittiest anime this Fall. Let see if Ben-to can beat that, shall we?
(c) Cccpo
The show started with a bang, or tried to when Satou, the typical no personality protagonist, can't seem to remember anything while he was bleeding on the floor. The fact was he was in a bento tournament and met all these boobies ladies (who are his schoolmates) and will in a matter of time be his harem.
Life is unfair.
Ben-to has nothing to offer. Absolutely none. The animation is below average. It even becomes pretentious when it comes to the actions. For something with such ridiculous story line, it can only works if it's funneh but it just failed at delivering the punch lines. Part of the fault lies with the characters. They were forgettable and nothing that you haven't seen before, typical archetype for harem. I think the show also wants to go ecchi but somehow them skimmed on it and just gives us plenty of stockings/pantyhose instead. I mean, if they already have a sure-fail story, so why the hell are they holding back? If they have gone all out with the animation as well as the comedy side of it, maybe I might ended up enjoying it like I did with Majikoi and Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon.
Watching Ben-to is like watching the wall. It is just monotonous and fucking boring. It failed to evoke any emotions from me, not even rage. In that case, I am not sure which is worst: C³ or this show. Maybe they are on par.
I am most surprised to learn that this show falls under the "action" genre when it should be classified as SHIT.

The second anime produced by A-1 Pictures for this season. Naturally I feel oblige to watch this show just for that reason alone, though I must admit that I'm not looking forward to the story itself. I think the studio can do much better than this. I hope the bishies are fappable enough to make up for what it's lacking. Pfft, who am I kidding. There will be BL in this show! I demand it!
What klux-sama wants, klux-sama gets! (c) Porry
I expect a lot of things but I didn't expect a show about J-Pop idols. I should have but it just doesn't cross my mind. Since I'm not a fan of J-Pop (only J-Rock) and is much more familiar with the K-Pop, I found this show extremely hilarious. It's like watching behind the scene shiznit about the groups, which quite frankly I don't mind at all. Watching them perform on stage with groovy dance moves like that, and fans chanting... yup definitely K-Pop idols. 2PM perhaps? They definitely fits the bill. lol they should used their song for this show instead of the first ED of Ao no Exorcist.
These six idols are students at Saotome Academy, the most prestige performing arts school in the country. There they met this lucky bitch named Haruka who is the subject of their affection for some reason that's lost to me. Who gives a fuck about her anyway?
Since A-1 Pictures produced this, I know I won't be disappointed with the characters. They are known for beautiful, pretty and hot characters and for a harem show, they definitely make the characters desirable. I certainly want them boys to be in my pantsu so naturally that warrants me to be jealous of Haruka who by the way, looks a bit off with that pupil of hers. She reminds me of Paprika but in term of personality and likeability, she is the tasteless gum at the bottom of Paprika's shoes.
Meet my new fappable characters (c) kanzaki8
The story itself reminds me a little bit of La Corda D'oro Prima Passo and Miracle Train. It is predictable from the get go but I convinced myself that I'm not watching this for the cliche story line but for the characters and possibility of BL. To be honest, I tuned out the part that has Haruka and only focus on the boys. I am so used with yaoi that doing that is a cinch which mean I am enjoying this one more than I should have.
In order words, I am disappointed at how bad the story is. Not to mention that aside from the character, the animation and arts are definitely below the usual par that A-1 Pictures set for his anime. It's like this show has the lowest budget in all of their anime. Well, can't blame them really. I won't spend so much on shit like this too.
Oh well. I'm being honest here. I am gonna watch this because of the bishie characters as well as the seiyuu. If those aren't your thing, best to stir clear from this show.
Watch at your own risk.

The most anticipated anime of the season. At least for me it is. I just love the goodness from the first season and Matsuri and here hoping the comedy will pick from where they left of. Such high hope I have for this one since most of the other summer anime I've seen so far was a let down :(
The new season jumps straight to beach episode. If it's any other show, it would have us raising our eyebrows skeptically but since this is Baka to Test, it just feels right. Most of the comedy centered around nosebleed (oh the glorious scene of more nosebleed!), swimsuits and Tsuchiya who may have found his person. That's all I'm going to say.
Words won't do justice of the episode so I'm not going to explain in details of the episode. As for the overall story, it has plenty I am sure but it will pretty much be more or less in the same format as the first season. I said that such repetition is not such a good thing for The World God Only Knows II but I think it is perfect for a show like Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu because it is one of it's strongest points. Top it off with excellent casts/characters, the show has all the ingredient to make it into an anime made of WIN.
*nosebleed*
Ah it feels good to watch something that is engaging. It's like taking a breath of fresh air. I've been watching crap anime in a row so I welcome the brilliantly executed comedy in Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni! The transition of humors is flawless. The humors don't feel force at all and it what differentiates this show to the likes of R-15, for example.
This is definitely the must watch show of the season. For those who can't watch this because they haven't watch the first season yet (looks at Bass and T-Razor), they are missing shit loads of greatness.

Having watch the first season, I am no longer clueless about this show. I am already well acquainted with Keima Katsuragi and Elsie who remain as the two main protagonist in this second season. There is not much of a variation either when it comes to the story in which these two still continue saving girls whose been possessed by loose souls.
(c) Piromizu
All in all, this second season is not as good as I hope it would be. I was hoping that Haqua would play a bigger role than just an occasional tsundere who visits Keima for assignments. The truth is, Haqua was appealing at first but she quickly falls flat as the episodes progressed. The first couple of girls that need saving definitely play a part of making this show enjoyable at first; Kasuga the martial arts chic and the free spirit Chihiro (Shiomiya Shiori is still my favorite though). After her, the story just went south. The one that bores me to death was the one with Nagase sensei in it and her story took 3 episodes to conclude. That pissed me off to be honest and thus will effect my rating for this second season.
And not to mention that last episode... WHAT THE FUCK WITH THAT RETARDED CHIC FROM THE GAME?! Also I was hoping they develop his relationship with Ayumi further. They teased us during Chihiro's arc but didn't really go through with it.
But anyway, I still think Hiro Shimono does a good job carrying this show and make it an enjoyable piece. I think it wouldn't be fair for me to continue ignoring the role of Elsie either. I do find myself enjoying her a bit more this season thus credits to Kanae Itou for bring the goofie Elsie to life. I want to say good things about the other seiyuu but I can't. Once their character role is done, I totally forgot about them. It's not that they aren't good but they aren't strong enough to leave a lasting impression that makes me want to take notice.
Design wise, Keima is still looking nerdy hot which what I like about him in the first place. That makes me less critical of the other character designs though there is nothing I like about Nagase. There's not much to add about the art an animation in general but since maybe I am a bit more familiar with the franchise, I don't think the characters are forgettable at all. Also, since they did a lot of parodies, I actually feel more gratitude towards the art/animation team. Those scenes definitely one of the best things about this show.
You won't go around mistaking the OP either because it is very Kami nomi oriented. It was sang by the same people that did the OP for season one. The ED, just like the first season, still failed to leave me with any good impressions.
"I can see the ending" is one of Keima's most favorite phrase and he always looks so cool while saying that. Fortunately though I can't see the ending just yet with this show. At the end of the final episode, they show several new girls who are definitely the characters that will (hopefully) entertain us in the third season of Kami Nomi. Yes, this show is getting a third season by the look of it. Does it deserved it? After this season I don't think so but I am here hoping that they will make it up to us fan in the next season.
Though I find this season enjoyable to an extend, it doesn't blow my socks away with the comedy. Part of it is the influence of featuring girls who are just annoys the fuck outta me. On the other hand, it isn't so bad. This is the first show I completed for the Spring of 2011. That gotta count for something, right?
Right.
Till we meet again.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is a two episodes OVA that was released in Winter of 2010. The focus of this OVA is the "Refresh Festival" that the students of the Academy looking forward to having every year. The students from Class 2-F are no exception.
(c) einlee
However, their enthusiasm level are just like their IQ level. While everyone was busy preparing for the festival, they are merrily playing baseball. They begin to take things seriously when they found out that Himeji might be transferred if they do not do something about the class condition so naturally everyone is fire up. There is no way they are going to allow the only sweet girl in class to leave them. That would make Hideyoshi their only source of fapping. So they all decide to do a fusion of Chinese-European cafe.
Damn, Hideyoshi looks so damn fuckable in that chinese cheongsam
But that's all for day one (episode 1). In day two, they have to join the Exam Summoning Contest and they will only get to keep their money from the sales if they win the contest. Oh well, I refused to let the cat out of the bag. Watch the rest of it yourself to find out. I've spoiled enough.
I am just happy knowing that the OVA still stick to it's own brand of comedy that managed to make me laugh my ass off. Again the characters play a big part in making this OVA enjoyable. Will I ever get tired of their antics? I doubt it. Kudos to the design team and the seiyuus for keeping this characters in character.
This OVA, unlike it's prequel, is solely produced by Silver Link with no help from FUNimation what so ever. Worry not though because you won't notice any different in term of overall feel of the show.
I'm not a fan of the OP much which was sang by Aso Natsuko because it's too bubbly for me. It reminds me of Himeji and I am not exactly fond of people like her. Too pink for my taste which is why I am a fan of the ED. Did you see the above video? It's called I hate Mondays by Milktub and I totally dig it the first time I heard it. Who doesn't hates Monday, right?
I often said that I like certain anime because I can relate to either the story or the characters. I can't relate to any of that when it comes to this show but I still managed to enjoy every damn minutes of it. Good humor pawns relevancy.
If you are a fan of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu like yours truly, it is best that you watch this OVA because it will quench your thirst for this series temporarily. Luckily we are going to have another season in a few weeks time though. Can't wait for that to start my summer.

Baka to test to Shoukanjuu Chi is probably one of the few shows that I look forward to for the Summer 2011 season. There is no doubt that the characters are dumb but that in actuality made this show so brilliantly funny and random. Yes, random. Just like Gintama kind of random. That is enough indication on how awesome this show is.
However, I see some people who doesn't even going to give this show a try. They missed out on the first season (that was aired in Winter 2009) and quickly brushed off the second season. So here I am writing this post to convince people like Bass and TRazor. Make yourself a favor and quickly watch the first season now.
Not only we have Yoshii, the most dumb protagonist in the history of anime (more or less, I didn't check stat) that will not get on your nerves, we also have Hideyoshi, a trap male character that is so feminine in appearance that you can't help but what to finger his prostate. He's not your typical trap either which just make you succumb to his charm even more. Then we have Kouta, the voyeur that provides blood for the most part. The dedication he showed is something we all must admire. Then we have the OTP Yuuji and Kirishima that is so made of win, you can't help but want it to happen XD
If that's not enough, we have bloodfest in EVERY FUCKING EPISODE!
So before you made up your mind about this show, ask yourself this question. Would you want to miss out on something that can make you laugh? Do you still want to brush it off after reading how convincingly epic this post is?
If you said yes, you are obviously mental and all the more reason why you should watch Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu.

At first, the only reason I was remotely interested with Sket Dance is because Keiichiro Kawaguchi is directing it, the same director that did Zettai Karen Children which I am a fan of. I still have my doubt though. Then I learned about the cast. The crossover makes a lot of sense all of a sudden.

They hire Tomokazu Sugita as one of the main seiyuu. That's decided it for me. I'm gonna watch this shit (If it wasn't for my outrageous working scheduled, I would have done the Sugita Quest like Glo does his Rie Quest. That's how big of a fan I am). Did you see how I choose my anime now? =3
Academy Activity Support Club or Sket-dan for short is just like Gintoki's Yorozuya. In fact Sket Dance is more or less Gintama in modern days. There are Himeko, Kagura double, Switch as Gintoki double and Bossun who supposedly to be the leader. They do odd stuff in that little club of theirs, solving mysteries and so on.
There are still few characters that haven't been introduced yet so that adds to the reason why I need to continue watching Sket Dance.
fappable character like this one http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=879083
Though the jokes were a tad slapstick at time, they were able to make me chuckled. Mind you, it's not out right laugh out loud kind of thing. I have a feeling if this show is done by a much more experience production studio, it could turn out so much better. Or maybe I'm just being harsh towards Tatsunoko Productions for not hiring a strong capable writer than can do randomness like that of Gintama. I said this because it falls a little flat for me and it is kinda cliche.
The animation is nothing to boast about but I should give credits when it is due. They took it up a notch when it comes to the fighting and there are some slick moves going on. If only the effort is continuous throughout the episode. Then again it is all comes down to the budget. Having said that, the casts are pretty impressive and I am glad that they spend their money hiring the right people for the characters. Sugita is awesome as always.
Well, this show doesn't blew me away but for obvious reason I am going to keep watching this.

The second season of The World God Only Knows. The first season wasn't anything great but it was enjoyable. I expect the second season to be just as enjoyable if not better.
We have a new female character that makes me excited just because she can kick your fucking ass. Hopefully she'll be around till the end of the show and just not another girl that needs to be saved from the loose soul but for the chance of that happening was pretty slim. Her name is Kasuga by the way and a tsundere for cute things. She considered Keima as one of those cute things.
It would be useless to go into depth of this episode because the story pretty much the same with the first season, only the girls are different. So that's that.
The is OP brings back memory of the first season's OP. It kinda similar but not really. The ED just plain annoying in my opinion though. Also, once again, Hiro Shimono excels at being Keima. He definitely brings Keima to live.
As expected, I really enjoyed this episode. The art and animation improve a lot too which makes this a show that I definitely going to watch this season. I'm such a sucker for comedy romance =3

I am not a fan of Rie Kugumiya so after I saw people’s reactions for this show through twitter and such, I kinda have a reservation about watching it now. However, it would be foolish to form my opinion based on what others have seen. I need to see it for myself thus here I am watching Dragon Crisis despite that I’m bored with the fact that it’s the same kinda shit that I’ve seen so far for Winter 2010/11.
I already know that I am probably end up not liking this show because of the stereotype character that Rie Kugumiya played. Unsurprisingly, I was right. Then there was Etou who secretly loves Ryuji. Ryuji himself is an average student who miraculously has all these hot girls wanting to get into his pantsu, including the jiggling boobs of his cousin, Eriko. Yada yada yada the same old shit.
If this doesn't annoy you, something is wrong
Eriko created a Seven Tail whatever fucked up organization and forced Ryuji to be her assistant. It’s about getting Lost Precious shit or something. They stole a bag from the bad guy and accidentally opened it. Lo and behold, a girl with golden lock came out. She seems to know Ryuji and possessed massive power. She’s going to rape Ryuji silly, just you wait and see.
At first, when Ryuji was in the train, I thought the animation was pretty decent but towards the end of the episode, nothing really stands out. The fanservice doesn’t make it any better either. By the way, all male students look kind of the same, don’t they? Even Ryuji, our protagonist does not stand out. I dunno whether it is a good thing or not. I found it rather infuriating when an average guy like him can get whichever girl he chooses. That is so unreal. I am not a fan of the female characters designs either. Big boobs just don’t work for me and Rose was just too aggravating for me to pay any attention to. As for Etou, she’s forgettable.
My complains don’t stop there. I knew right away that the seiyuu for Ryuji is Hiro Shimono. As usual, the role fits which kinda make it worse I think because so far I found all the characters annoying, even more so when it comes to the dragon girl voiced by Rie Kugumiya. She reminds me of Inoue when she was on Kurosaki-kun chant mode. Fuck, that made me rage. The OP and ED made me yawn, literally. At least the ED doesn’t seem to be too forgettable though.
I can’t say that I enjoy this show. I don’t hate it but I can’t wait for the episode to be over with. It just annoys the fuck out of me. I don’t think I’ll be watching the rest of the episodes. This one ends here unless someone can change my mind by presenting some great facts about why I should continue watching Dragon Crisis. I doubt they can.

I was skeptical at first. In my preview for fall, I did say I want to actually skip this show but Glo made me changed my mind. I didn't read the manga and didn't know that it exist until then so I didn't know what to expect. All I know is that this is a show about a boy who is obsessed with dating games. I don't play games so I thought that I can't relate to him but I was wrong. I find myself keep coming back to watch the show because of Keima. He's definitely your average geek, with burning passion to match.
The story itself is nothing out of ordinary. His peaceful gaming life was interrupted when Elsie, a pretty normal looking devil, came from out of nowhere with demand that he helped her. His mission every week, or every other week was to make a girl who was possesed with a loose soul fell in love with him. By sealing it with a kiss, he set them free from the loose soul and one step closer to have that wretched collar off of his neck. He has saved 4 girls from succumbing to the loose souls. Unfortunately none of these girls were memorable except for the library girl. If I didn't check my diary, I would not have remembered them. The highlight of these otherwise boring episodes were Keima's antics. Thanks to him the comedy was pretty consistent and I ended up liking this show because of that.
Having said that the episodes featuring Kanon were hopeless. I dunno why they dragged the story for three whole god damn episodes. It was boring as hell. I almost quit. Glad that I didn't though because I would have missed the library affair. That was romantic.
The final episode of this show however was something totally different. It almost feels out of place but at least we got to see the real Keima when he's at home. God of Conquest mode is EPIC. Enough said.
As for the art and animation, it wasn't bad but not good either. The character designs didn't stand out which made them kinda forgettable. The production team definitely did not pay much attention to details. Everything is kinda one dimensional. But when it comes to Keima's antics, they didn't hold back. Most of his theory was shown in elaborate manner with different kinds of art style. It sure left me entertained.
The characters, despite kinda forgettable, were quite diverse. We have kuudere, tsundere, yandere and other type of -dere that you can think of. And of course Keima himself. Keima doesn't give a damn about the real world. All he cares about is the girl in the dating games he played. He dealt with the real life girls because his life was on the line. He's the enigmatic anti-hero. Not your typical archetype character. This quality of his made him shines as a unique and thoroughly entertaining protagonist.
(c) wakaki tamiki
Hiro Shimono might single handedly guaranteed the success of this show. Casting him as Keima is perfect. I couldn't think of any other seiyuu that can do a job better than him. Err... Scrath that. Actually I can. Sugita is awesome with monologues but I'm not going to take credits away from Hiro. Unfortunately this is harem and I don't usually paid any attention to female seiyuu and since none of them had a real stand out performance, they are as forgettable as their character designs. TWGOK make up for it lack of soundtrack with the impressive opening from Tenmon. The full song is 8 minutes long and different parts of the song is used for different chapters, while the unused part is used for background music in addition with other instrumental tracks. It definitely helps creating the right atmosphere for the show. As for the ending, if you paid close attention, it was sang by the said girl of the episode so there are 4 versions: Ayumi, Mio, Elsie and Kanon. I still find it boring though. Keima ED on the other hand... that was freaking great.
Towards the end, it was revealed that this show will get a second season and looks like Elsie's sister or comrade will be joining soon and make Keima's life more miserable. At least she doesn't have personality as boring as Elsie so at least it is something to look forward to?
I don't think this show is a success so have this kind of show getting a sequel when I'm still waiting for Working!! and Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu sequel... it kinda pissed me of actually #nobutreally.
Average is probably the right word I guess when it comes to expressing this show. Despite the painfully lagging episodes in the middle, I still enjoy this show. If nothing else, it is quite entertaining. If you are looking for something light and don't mind average show, than this could worth your time.

I did say in my first impression post that all the girls want to get into Haru's pantsu. I didn't mean it literally, just as a figure of speech but yeah, they totally did it. Holy fucking shit, they really fucking did it.
To be honest, this is the first time I saw an eroge anime. Sure I have seen hentai before but at least I was prepared to see the tactless sex shit. And here I thought the nudity was surprising. Clearly I was not aware of what was in store for me. The first time Haru fucked Ojou-sama, it totally took me by surprised.
The story was divided into several arcs. I was confused at first when Haru fucked the shrine girl right after he "declaring" his love to Ojou-sama the week before. Then someone pointed out that it was a different arc. It worked conveniently for Haru though since he didn't have to worry about the other girl murdering him. Lucky bastard.
So he fucked one girl after the other. He even fucked the maid in the skit at the end of every episodes which was amusing at first but quickly got old after the first episode.
These girls each have different stories that they wanted to get out of their chest. It was just purely luck on Haru side that they wanted to tell him about it while they fucked. Ojou-sama had to deal with her dad. The shrine maiden needed to know the truth about her mother. Class president simply doesn't have a fucking imagination while Nao raped Haru and deflowered him when he was barely 10 years old. In the end though it was all about Sora and Haru facing the demon of the world where twincest is taboo.
I want to say that I watched the show for the plot and and the "interesting" arcs, but then I would have been lying because the only reason I endured 9 episodes made of shit was because I want to see twincest happened. I think it was hot as fuck but that just me and my weird fetishes. I almost dropped this show after the first sex scene but as you can see my desire for twincest prevailed.
(c) hashimoto takashi
I got to say that I didn't know what to expect with the ending but they ended it brilliantly. It was so damn sweet and somehow relatable. I mean, it is true that you can't choose who you fall in love with. I am not exactly endorsing all the incestship out there but when a show done it right (unlike a certain imouto show), it is acceptable. Now don't go confusing real life with fiction though! The only gripe I have with the ending was the fact that I didn't get my tactless twincest sex scene. It's just not fair when the whore Nao got to do it with her back on a bark of a tree.
Besides the twincest, I also look forward to see all the different skies the animation had in every episode. One was much more beautiful than the last. The background crew really deserved a round of applause for their hard work. Same goes to the animation team. It was very fluid even with contrast between the background and character designs. Speaking of character designs, the girls may got their distinct looks but they were too cliche in my opinion.

My favorite characters for the show got to be Sora. I loved how she was so in control when Haru was in doubt. Haru was okay too before he started to fuck anything that walking and have tits. Oh well, at least he made the right decision at the end and that is all that matters. So I forgive him. You can probably tell what my thoughts are for the other characters so I will skip that part.
My thoughts about the seiyuus, OP and ED did not change though. So that's that.
I raged from episode 2 till 10 but the end kinda make up for it. So I guess I did enjoy it a lot despite me complaining about the whores. It was all part of the drama. Would I recommend it? Yes, just so that I can see what their reaction would be.

Hmm, this is the show about games huh? I doubt I can relate to this show since I don't play games. But I can relate about human interaction and relationship. We all can. Hopefully this won't be just another one of those disappointing show I've seen so far.
This show is about a high school kid named Katsuragi Keima who is an expert on "dating" games and loves only the 2D girls. One day he received a request to conquer a mysterious girl and being the God of Conquest, he accepted the challenge. Little did he know, that girl was a devil sent from hell and he has to help her collects loose souls, according to the contract. If he breeches the contract, OFF WITH HIS HEAD! Heh. The only way to gather the loose souls is ts to make them fall in love with him. Easy enough right? Wrong, because he only knows how to do it in games. We all know 2D and 3D don't mixed. And thus how the hilarity ensued.
I would have like it more if they actually really did fall for each other rather than just sharing a kiss and the girl lost memory of the conquest. Jeebus, this is actually the second anime this season that I find decent even with the underlying romance theme in it. I am getting soft for sure...
In term of art and animation, it was average at best. Nothing really stands out. Even the main characters looks like average Joe.
The OP kinda have that dark and mysterious qualities to it. I kinda like it. The ED is forgettable though. Katsurugi sounds very familiar until I can pin point where I heard that voice from. He sounds just like Akihisa in Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu so Hiro Shimono must be his seiyuu too then. The other seiyuus did a great job overall.
I enjoyed this one so I'll look forward to episode 2. If they keep switching girls (like I know they would), I will probably found this show less and less appealing as it goes.

Once upon a time, I used to read the manga. Not anymore because time won't permits me. I have to drop it because life gets too busy for me. Even though the manga was not really what I called great, it was still entertaining to read. So I hope the anime won't be such a bucket of phailed.

Watching the first few minutes of this show really got me excited. The mood is just right and when Nurarihyon clashes sword, I think I cum a little. I dunno whether it was because of Nurarihyon looks so mightily hot or if it is because of the swords. I would like to think both. I'm just that greedy after all.
However the mood just changed drastically when they show the house hold during the day. Rikuo still like I remembered him, and I still don't like him that much. I feel like complaining but I must accept that Nurarihyon and Rikuo share the same body. Kinda. So it feels like I am forced to accept Rikuo because of Nurarihyon. Lucky shouta.
I almost forgot that the demon in Rikuo's household are interesting characters. They are quite good looking too. I guess it was to be expected since they are the "good" one. The bad one on the other hand is a little bit over the top.
Nurarihyon no Mago is about Rikuo who is 1/4 youkai (demon) and 3/4 human. He will inherit the demon household and becomes the third commander of the demon. However he doesn't want to do it and prefer to live as a human being even though he's surrounded by demons. Just like human, demons are greedy too. One of the demon, Gyuuki, wanted that spot for himself so we just have to wait whether Rikuo will change his mind or not.
I feel like I have to differentiate between Nurarihyon and Rikuo. I feel like the animation during Nurarihyon was top notch but when they switched to Rikuo, it feels like some cheap budget animation. The same goes for character designs. What the fuck is up with that? Or I'm just being as bias as always? *shrugs*
I have always like the Yuki Onna and is a fan for Nurarihyon/Yuki pairing. I want to say that I like Kana because Aya Hirano is her seiyuu but I can't relate to her at all. I'm sure you are familiar with Rikuo/Nurarihyon seiyuu if you watch Code Geass, Bleach and Amatsuki to name a few anime that he has a role in. He is none other than Jun Fukuyama. He's getting more and more role nowadays. Good for him.
I wasn't really a fan of it's OP until the second time I heard it. Now, I'm addicted to it. Heh. Can't say the same about the ED though.
Overall, it was an okay episode. I will continue to watch this show for the sake of Nurahriyon and knows that the plot will get better soon.

What do you expect to see when clearly there's moe in the title. But I'll give this a shot. The OP kinda promise lots of mischief. I hope this turns out like Kyou no Go no Ni. If it is, I might read the manga too.
Yabe Satoshi is the new teacher for class 6-3. It has always been his dream to teach at primary school. Little did he know that the class of his responsibility is a war zone.
I got to admit, when I saw Futaba kicked all the boys' butts, I chuckled. That was some awesome animation and the black and white effect was perfect. And then there's Mitsuba, the sadistic one out of the three triplets. She makes one of her classmates as chair and called Yabe an insolent dog. She even know that Yabe is still a virgin (her definition of virgin: someone who live a sad life). Yes, these girls with personality trait of awesome are triplets. The other one is the quiet Hitoha who reads a glowing red book. I thought she would be boring like the other archetype characters like her. She proved me wrong. The glowing red book is a porn magazine! I think I know who Glo will like most out of the three now XD
I laughed out loud. The humor was great. Love that comes from the crotch? Brilliant. A hamster that is called Nipple? Hehehehe
Oh did I mention the blood? Yes, there is blood in this show. Instant approval.
It was a pretty interesting show I think. At least the most interesting show I have seen so far. Despite that it was supposed to be moe (because they are loli after all), there's very little moe about the show. Sure they all have pink cheeks but that goes for all of them. No discrimination.
Besides the three mischievous sisters, the other characters are pretty lively and have different traits about them as well. Yup this is definitely something like Kyou no Go no Ni. Yabe's seiyuu is Shimono Hiro so I got attached to him rather quickly.
I want to complain about the art but it could be one of it strong point in the long run, who knows? I don't like it at first but by the end of this episode, it doesn't even bother me at all. So I guess I'll get used to it soon enough.
Another show that I will be watching this summer :)

Yay! Another yaoi OVA! *dance* The world could use some more of it. Or at least balancing the amount of quantity for yaoi and yuri anime.
The story: Sex Pistols is about a bunch of guys who found out that they do not evolve from monkey, and about finding their mate. Yeah... not the strongest plot but that's how people have been treating yaoi. It makes me rolls my eyes. How very unfair, if compared to yuri.
Madarame cannot stand males and his seiyuu is the great Tomokazu Sugita. So, however hard I tried, I can only see him as a comedic character. This is not the first time he's in yaoi though. He has done Seitokaichou ni Chuukoku and Switch, which was not really a yaoi but many people has the misconception that it is so because the lack of female characters.
And I found Noririn's voice to be so fucking familiar too. I did a check up and apparently his seiyuu is the same person that did Yoshii Akihisa, Shimono Hiro. He is getting recognized in my head so that's a good sign.
yeah >_>
Madarame is training Noririn so everyone else can stop their urge to fuck him. I am not sure what kind of animal he is. But Madarame is half snake and half dragon I think and Kunimasa is a white leopard. Pretty sexy if you asked me.
Fujiwara has the biggest crush on Madarame but since Madarame has problem with men, and since Madarame saw that he is a monkey descendant, his crush remains as unrequited love. That does not stopped him from having sex with someone else though. He kinda looks like Madarame but with different tattoo. So I'm confused.
LMAO this is good.
Why? because I dunno what to expect in the next episode.
Also I love the comedy.

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.
