That's one great OP song. Also I saw Shiro's nipple. Just saying. Episode 2 of Deadman Wonderland: Ganta entered the Dog Race. The seemingly nice inmate Takami Yoh isn't really very nice but I guess you have to be cunning to survive in that kind of hell hole. He told Tamaki (the warden) about Ganta entering the race so Tamaki made the hurdle as dangerous as possible. In this race, either you win or you are dead. It was cruel shit. Ganta is lucky because Shiro is looking out for him otherwise he's long dead.

Why the fuck do all gangsters/side characters sound so fucking annoying. Some were too high pitch while some is all bass. Who can take them seriously? Anyway, SKET Dance episode 3: some girl name Momoka stole Onihime's identity and caused trouble around town. She even kidnapped Onihime only to find out that she's the real one. Despite some serious moments, this is still a comedy which has successfully made me laugh. It's well balanced indeed.

the best of both worlds

Tiger & Bunny episode 4: For once we are focusing on other Hero. This time it's Blue Rose. It's interesting when she said being a Hero isn't her main goal. This goes back to what I have been saying since episode 1. These so-called heroes are either doing it for the money and/or for the glamor or worse, being forced to do so. That's what happened with Blue Rose/Karina until Tiger made her realized that being a hero is not as bad as she thinks. Typical.

Episode 2 of Ao no Exorcist is still as awesome as the first episode, if not better. Though it is stereotypical type of stuff that we have seen countless time, it still managed to grab our interest and even WOW us with the whole presentation. This is how shounen anime should be.

Episode 3 of Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san: A human is a slave for lizard-like looking demon, Grimoire, who has the power over words. Everyone else fell under his power except for Akutabe-san. To counter his power, Akutabe summoned Citro, a fish mermaid who desired love and has the power to transform and giving man a fucking blowjob. She can't control herself when she gets jealous. I LOL at the cruelty of Akutabe. God, i love him.

lol wut?

On to the next anime, episode 3 of Sekaiichi Hatsukoi: Ritsu met Yokozawa from the Sales Department and dislike him almost immediately. Why? Because Yokozawa and Takano are obviously fuck buddies. Anyway he's adamant not to fall in love with Takano again but hey, this is yaoi. He'll give up his ass sooner rather than later. It was so apparent that he got jealous and such. He tried to avoid him as well unfortunately Takano is his boss so there's no way of doing so especially when there's a storyboard he needs to approve. As I have expected, Takano jumped him only to be interrupted by Yokozawa who has the key to his apartment. Ah dorama...

It means that HE WILL MAKE YOU SAY IT with his dick up your ass ^__^

Hanasaku Iroha episode 4: Ohana starts schooling again at the same school where Nako and Minko are. Ohana is immediately famous just because she transferred from Tokyo. Looks like Minko is quite famous with the boys herself. Ohana makes a new friend with a bubbly girl named Yuina who is the successor for Fukuya hot spring. Basically they are rivals. There are other sides of Ohana that I see today so she wasn't as annoying as she was in the last episode. For example, her surprised with new things that the local found as normal like seeing Heron for the first time. This episode also confirms that Minko likes Tohru while Ohana is denying her feelings for Ko. Interesting. So I guess the OTP for now is OhanaxKo and MinkoxTohru. But wait, towards the end of the episode, Tohru picked Yuina up and looks like they are dating. WHAT THE FUCK? That was totally unexpected. Great XD

It has been a while since I read any manga. Not even yaoi. But for some reason I feel like doing it tonight and what other way to start it off if not by reading some yaoi manga. I picked Curiosity at random. It featured two shouta but hot damn the yaoi was good.

that's a cute dick >=3

Haqua is introduced in episode 3 of The World God Only Knows II.

Episode 3 of Fireball Charming: Drossel is planning on going to a ball but Gedächtnis won't allow her to go out since the relationship between robots and mankind is still complicated. He tried to stop her going on an electrical car with made up excuses about special car for mature ladies with thought process comparable to a sea slug. Drossel ignored him and got on one which only tour around the mansion where she lives in less than 5 seconds. I guess this episode introducing one of Drossel accessories as a figure, which is his father red cloak.

awww *pouts*

They introduced two more characters in Sengoku Otome: Momoiru Paradox episode 4, Shingen and Kenshin. Both of them have the armors that Nobunaga seeks. Mitsuhide/Akerin suggested some underhand tactics to get the armors which enraged Nobunaga. Ieyasu quickly took the opportunity to poison her mind since she has her own agenda up her dirty sleeves. Mitsuhide decided to follow through with her plan but since Hideyoshi overheard her, she locked her up. But of course Nobunaga came, save her and stopped Mitsuhide. This only made Mitsuhide hates Hideyoshi even more. Nobunaga interfered with Shingen and Kenshin battle. Of course she won it and almost killed them both but meh she won't do it. In the end she got the armors. Mission accomplished.

My first impression on SKET Dance and [C].

Hanasaku Iroha episode 3: Ohana was about to get rape by the novelist. I approved because she obviously volunteered to atone her mistake in the last episode. Such a nice girl. She even helped him with her sex-writing career (Ohana having a threesome with Nako and Minko in a bath tub). Then she tell the others about it *facepalm* which pushed him to the point of being suicidal. He jumped off a cliff but was save by Nako. The end. By the way, what's with the fanservice in this show? It decrease the value and I'm definitely getting bored with the crap. So what if the animation was flawless when it's boring as fucking a dead guy? Fuck, Ohana is annoying *is mad*

*shakes head disapprovingly*

Episode 2 of Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san! Tamura's lecturer asked her agency to look for his dog. Akutabe used the service of Beelzebub for this mission. His power is "forcibly induce excretion in living creature" as he puts it. He was good though and they caught the missing dog in no time at all but he also ate shits. But yeah as the show progresses, I was lolling off my chair with laughter because it took turn to the unexpected! God I love this show =3

the timing of this scene was impeccable

Ah crap Ritsu has started dreaming about his boss. That is always a bad sign that the anime is taking turn for the worse. Well we got to see how Takano is charismatic when it comes to his work in episode 2 of Sekaiichi Hatsukoi though. It just the process of wowing Ritsu which also included him forcing himself on Ritsu, trying to make him remember of the past. And fuckif that is not cliche enough, how about the fact that they are fucking neighbors?

Episode 3 of X-Men disappoint me. The pacing was poor and the plot was too cliche for my liking.

Episode 2 of The World God Only Knows II on the other hand was good. I was entertained.

Oh wow, I am watching episode 3 of Tiger & Bunny. Who would have thought? I sure did not plan this but I might as well watch this since I got the time to spare. This episode is about Kotetsu and Barnaby working on for better understanding and team work. Sounds terribly boring and sometimes it were but the show has it moments too. TV Hero was also doing a documentary on Barnaby so we got to learn a few things about him like his parent were murdered. The show won't be completed without a little action so they added in a bomb threat where Tiger & Bunny finally managed to work successfully as a team. They still bicker though but that's the best thing about this partnership. Btw, what's with Karina Lyle?

Sengoku Otome - Momoiru Paradox episode 3: Nobunaga paid a visit to Imagawa Yoshimoto to obtain the left leg of the crimson armor but it won't be so easy. The episode is about how Nobunaga used 'recreation' to get the armor. It was stupid >>

Episode 2 of Sket Dance: random samurai guy showed up at the club asking for help to win the kendou tournament. They solved the problem with Friske. Then onto the second mission: taking care of Yabasu and getting rid of a bomb. They have to do both at the same time because the monkey ran away with the fucking bomb. There were some funny moments but only like for 2-3 minutes of the whole show.

Bleach chapter 445 was somewhat interesting.

Glo convinced me to check out Nichijou so I started with the OVA Nichijou episode 0. Not as I expected it to be.

Friday, April 22

As expected from A-1 Pictures, Ao no Exorcist is fucking awesome. I came in my pantsu.

Episode 2 of Ano Hana. I am glad to say here that the quality remains and the story/drama just gets better. Awesome shit.

Yoga met his Asset, Masu in episode 2 of [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control and immediately forced into a Deal. As expected Yoga was totally useless and got beaten by his own bitchy Asset but through this Deal at least I grasp the idea of what it is and how it works. Eventually Yoga won which was a big deal. The last person who won on their first Deal was Mikuni so naturally he paid Yoga a lot of attention. He even went out of his way to pay Yoga a visit. Yoga still has stick up his ass when it comes to Midas. He doesn't want to has anything to do with it. That's impossible. Masakaki remains as best character of the show.

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko episode 2: Makoto treated Erio like she's totally retarded as she explained about some alien shit. She totally deserved that kind of treatment. She also brought him to the ocean and when she went adrift, I couldn't help but laughed at what Makoto has to say. Apparently Erio disappeared for half a year and came back with no memory of what happened. Interesting... In this episode Makoto also met Mifune Ryuuko, a totally moe and adorable girl from his school. I can't help but like Mifune because he made Makoto do all kind of stuff that even he questioning himself doing it. Her attitude is infectious. He also met the Giant Oarfish, Maekawa. Note here that some of Makoto's monologue are really witty and funny. Kudos to the writer.

Too tired from the journey home so I only managed to watch the first episode of Hanasaku Iroha. This show is solid.

Tuesday, April 12

I am not going to miss the second season of The World God Only Knows II. It makes me remember how enjoyable this show can be.

Tiger and Bunny episode 2: It's the first time Tiger and Bunny working together. There are bound to be some argument especially when Tiger found out that he's suppose to be Barnaby's sidekick. Barnaby is still being an ass and that attitude is the reason why he is so endearing. As for Koutetsu, he's too simple minded to be a hero. He crushed civilian's car on purpose and doesn't feel remorse about it. He's just too careless. In this episode, Koutetsu kinda has to choose whether to see her daughter ice-skating or be a hero. He should just tell her daughter that he's Tiger so she would understand and does not hold grudges towards him. Anyway, I'm beginning to feel annoyed with the cliche-ness of this show.

Episode 2 of Fireball Charming: It's about manners and Gedächtnis teached Drossel to be elegant yet alert by putting books on top of her head and balance it while they play "games". It was fun as always.

charming as well

Just finished watching episode 2 of X-Men. Cyclops is such an emo. Orz.

Proceed with episode 2 of Hanasaku Iroha: Jeebus the OP is really annoying. Anyway, Nako will guide Ohana for her waitress duty. Because Nako is so timid, Ohana felt like she's useless so she kept repeating what her mother told her: don't rely on anyone else, only believe in yourself". Obviously she created more trouble; cleaning up room that she wasn't supposed to clean and cooking meals when Minko was being reprimanded because of it. She is tactless. Anyway, is it wrong of me to think that she might ended up having feelings for Tohru and thus have to compete with Minko again? Crap, Ohana is slowly getting on my nerves what's with her bossy and inconsiderate attitude. I'm that too but I don't force myself on people and I don't give a fuck about how they feel. Ohana is taking everything into consideration which is why she's so messed up. Having said that, the end of the episode makes me want to keep tuning in. chronolynx mentioned that this is "spirited away" without the magical stuff. Unfortunately I can see the similarity.

Asterotte's Toy definitely live up to my expectation and I don't mean it in the good way >>

Thursday, April 14

Better development in Bleach latest chapter but still we all know how Kubo is capable of trolling.

Sengoku Otome - Momoiru Paradox episode 2: Hideyoshi is still pretty much confused with her whereabouts but keep pushing forward. They went to the burned village from the previous episode and helped out the villagers. I think she was trying too much to be funny that it turns out not funny at all. I'm disappointed. Things were looking up when Shiro, the talking dog returned to harass Hideyoshi. By the way, fact from this episode is, they are in the land of no men.

I might as well watch the final episode of Level E: Ki figured out that the princess and his brother were actually impostor. By marrying Ki to a fake princess, they can asked Ki to liberate Magura from Dogura. Either that or never allowed Ki to leave Earth. Ki obviously thinks he has everything figured out and married the fake princess who turns out to be the real princess. LOL score for everyone else! Turns out the cat was the princess idea all along. Psycho indeed.

this is what I called a power couple

Do not watch Dog Days because it is fucking SHIT!

Mandatory BL/yaoi show for me: Sekaiichi Hatsukoi.

First impression for one of the most funniest anime of the season: Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san!

First Impression: Sengoku Otome - Momoiru Paradox

It's another show after Rio! Rainbow Gate that take after a pachinko game. By the way, my status on Rio is still unknown. If you have no clue why I still watch that crap, it's because Glo dared me to complete it and I took up the challenge. So tell me what's your status with Rio, Glo.


Alright back to Battle Girls. I usually made my decision on what anime to watch based on it's genre. As you might already know, I will stay clear of anything ecchi and clearly (from the poster) that this show will be fulled of fanservice. However, I have decided to actually give this one a chance.

Substance > reputation/genre.

I have no freaking clue what this show is all about because I don't play games. From the title, one can tell that it's supposed to be an action show. I am worried that this might end up like Queens Blade (thanks Bass, 2DTeleidoscope, Caraniel and ScorchNRoses) and I'm only 47 seconds in. Gah, I need to stop making assumptions.

This show will evolve around Hideyoshi, a lazy high school girl who thinks only of playing instead of studying. One day, she went to a temple to try her luck. Somehow she got transported to different era/dimension. The airhead Hideyoshi met with Mitsuhide and Oda Nobunaga an thought that they were cosplaying. This was the moment when I decided that Hideyoshi was okay as a character. I was ready to slash her out but looks like she wasn't as annoying as I thought. Rather, she's pretty funny.

LOL no you don't. You don't have a fucking clue!

The names seem familiar because it is. Nobunaga and Mitsuhide were part of the Japanese history. What confusing Hideyoshi at the moment was the fact that they are both girls. Since she's stuck there, she will live with them and Nobunaga asked her help of finding the armor so she could conquer the land. She have no clue what she has got herself into.

Turned out that I can tolerate the fanservice in this show. It wasn't done excessively like that of Queens Blade. At least half-way through the episodes, people still have their clothes on. Out of all the characters, Mitsuhide left quite an impression on me. I dunno why, maybe it's her megane, or simply her attitude. I dig her. The other character that I want to know more about is the talking dog.

definitely because of the megane

Heh, who would have thought that this show turned out to be pretty interesting. I am glad I learned something from Ambivalence's post.

Oh by the way, we got to see the seiyuus at the end of the episode. I am not familiar with any of them but it's good to see the faces behind the voices. Besides, they did a good job so far.
