Anime: Spring 2013

Now that I am getting slowly back into the groovy world of anime, I feel obligated to check out the incoming shows and truly pick the anime that I would spend my limited time on. As usual, I'm using my preview template for this shit, because I'm lazy as fuck.

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

thanks to moetron

So here goes.


MUST WATCH:

• Manglobe is producing Karneval which is pretty much targeted to fujoshi like me. Oh god all the bishies... and look at the seiyuus! #faps.
• FUCK YES Yondemasu Yo, Azazel-san is back!
• I am a big fan of Misaka Mikoto. I'm gonna watch To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S with hopes that something solid finally transpired between her and Touma. And perhaps Accelerator too :3

ANIME WITH POTENTIAL:

•  I'm not saying that I'm old but when an anime targeting the middle age women, I feel inclined to check it out especially since Otona Joshi no Anime Time is based on some prize winning stories.
• P.A Works often produced some good shows with some pretty good plot so I have a feeling that RDG: Red Data Girl has somewhat the potential to be talk of the fandom if it's done right. Besides, there's Rie Kugimiya in it which I'm sure Glo will be delighted when he finds out.
• I foresee a trap anime in Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. Phew what a mouthful. The prospect of trap excites me beyond words. Lets hope Brain Base won't disappoint us. 
• They have remastered Gundam Seed Destiny. I remember spazzing about this anime back then. Too bad I won't have the time to rewatch it :(
• In order for me to watch the second season of Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga nai, I have to finish watching the first one. It's a chore for me since I seriously dislike the imouto. But damn it this show is produced by A1-Pictures.
• The setting for Shingeki no Kyojin looks to be interesting. Lets hope that it won't be destroyed by some cliche shit. Oh, and I hope there will be some incest too LOL
• Knowing that Suisei no Gargantia is produced by Production I.G. gives me somewhat an assurance that this show can't be as bad as it sounds.
• Oh dear, J.C. Staff is producing a show with Hentai in its title. Have they been so desperate? Anyhoo, Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko is set out to be interesting in a get go. Who doesn't like hentai right?
• A boy pretending to be a girl? Arata Kangatari has potentials to go either so horribly wrong or awesome as fuck.
• Aku no Hana somewhat intrigues. I can't tell what the show is going to be about which is always a good thing in my book.
• One of the most talk about shows so I won't miss it for the world; Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kaku Outbreak

AVERAGE ANIME:

• Date a Live looks to be a harem show with stupid cliched plot. I get a feeling that I will pretty much rage throughout the first episode, if I can managed to watch it that long, that is.
• If this is another short less than 10 minutes anime, Danchi Tomoo will probably won't last long before I chucked it into the anishit list.
• I have always wanted to watch remake of old shows and Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 is just one of those shows that intrigued me personally. Whether or not I have time for it will base on whether or not the show can impressed me within few minutes of the first episode.
• Another mecha anime of the season is Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince. Lets gives this show a chance, shall we?
• All I see is bishie so how bad can Devil Survivor 2 The Animation can be, right? RIGHT! LOL
• I am never a fan of harem anime so I think I'm gonna drop Photo Kano after watching the first episode especially since the story looks to be stupid as fuck.
• I am not sure whether the characters in Joujuu Senjin! Mushibug You poster is a boy or a girl. Either way this is gonna be another lackluster anime of the season.
• Yuyushiki is adapted from 4-koma manga and I don't usually get the jokes so yeah... this show won't be as enjoyable to me as it is to some other people who is a 4-koma fan.
• I see two bishies and a mecha in Kakumeiki Valvrave. Obviously that's enough reason for me to check out the show. 
• I did a facepalm when I read the synopsis for Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge. A kid with hair fetish? A hair queen? Jeebus.
• Serious anime is serious: Asian Risshiden no Shima Kousaku.
• I want to give Aiura a chance. Maybe it won't be so bad.

ANISHIT:

• Tetsujin 28-Gou Gao might not be necessarily bad but I'm done watching short anime. 
• Oh dear god, why are we seeing a lot of the same shit lately? I will definitely stir clear from Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live. 
• Gonna ignore Boku wa Ou-sama Fairy Tale Classic just because it sounds too childish.
• I think the comedy in Hataraku Maou-sama! will piss me off more than anything. It will be cliched as fuck. You can tell that much just by reading the synopsis. But of course I might be wrong. 
• Just like the seasons before it, I'm gonna ignore Hayate no Gotoku! Can't Take My Eyes Off You. I am just not a fan of Nagi. Period.
• I am not going to watch Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W either. It wasn't bad if I walk around with a dick hanging instead of a vagina.
• Sparrow's Hotel sounds stupid as shit. If they have to sell the fact that "she has large breasts" then I don't want to waste my time on this show.

On a side note, I am looking forward to two movies: Hanasaku Iroha and Kotonoha no Niwa.

Till we meet again in a different version of this review!

Bleach: Chapter 503

So... someone just told me the spoiler of the upcoming chapters of Bleach. I feel like flipping the fucking desk right now. But it is all good. Though I can't unsee the shit, I managed to stop myself from reading further.

Anyway, gotta love how Kenpachi handle those shitty little Stern Ritter. They were annoying so he split one into half, slit the other one's throat and then brutally murdered the last one. Nothing much aye? LOL

His opponent this time around is none other than the one them trashes called The Majesty. But as usual Kubo won't show us the fight just yet. He decided it's time we got back to Ichigo who somehow has gotten the news that Byakuya, Renji and Rukia are all down.

or so he says

And that's all the panels he has for Ichigo before Kubo decided "oh fuck that, lets switched fight again". So now he's taking us to Hisagi who is about to get his ass handed to him. Lucky for him though because The Old Fart Yamaji decided to interfere with the fight and save his ass. He was threatened to be killed by one of his subordinate bankai though. I wonder which one would it be...

And that's how the chapter ended.

*sigh* I don't feel like ranting today so lets just pretend I'm okay with this whole unstructured shit.

Bleach: Chapter 502

Another two months have gone by since my last chapter of Bleach. Jeebus, it's not that I have stopped loving the series. I still love it to death despite the shit that Kubo cooked up lately. It just that I need time to forgive the shit. 2 months seem like long enough so lets see what happened to Byakuya now, shall we?

not looking to good there, taicho

Renji is coming to his rescue but I bet there's nothing much he can do about it. Rukia is running towards his brother too which sort of sweet. Oh well, I admit  that whenever Rukia is in a panel, my heart melts and I have an instant b0nar so yeah, I'm being a biased maddafakka here XD

But back to the chapter, Byakuya is declared dead by the enemy while both Rukia and Renji (as expected), are down with injuries.

As they boast about their success defeating the shinigami, one man kinda crap in their parade. He's no other than Kenpachi who has neither shikai nor bankai.

 

Things should get interesting now...

Oh and I don't believe we've seen the last of Byakuya just yet.

A year older. Again

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.

Last year I was content. Well, not anymore.

this fanart has nothing to do with this post

Isn’t it irony knowing that at the moment, as I sit here, in my new temporary office, while my colleagues are all busy with their own things, some aren’t even here, that I failed to see what kind of future awaits me. It used to be so clear to me, of what I want in life; the dreams, aspirations and what not. Well, that is no longer the case.

As I found myself through the unexpected journey of love, it seems like somewhat I have lost myself too. It confuses the fuck out of me. It is definitely something that I am not used to. I am so used to be full of confidence and often not give a fuck about anything, especially things that are related to the matter of the heart.

Funny isn’t it how a person can change all that?

The reason why I feel so lost is for the simple fact that I can’t seem to picture my future without that person in it.

Cliché as fuck but fuck it it’s the fucking truth.

So today I am forced to rethink shit through. I am not getting any younger. Can I afford to be oblivious to the rules of the world? Can I afford to waste any more time pinning my hope for someone that may never reciprocate my feelings? Should I continue living so recklessly, devoid of any attachments?

Well, if that makes me happy, why the hell not? :)

 I am just making sure that I won’t live a life with regrets burdening my conscience. Who knows, a year from now I might be laughing my ass reading this shit again.

They say 32 is the perfect age for wisdom. You have amassed plenty of life experience but not to the point that you crap in your pants.

 Did you also know that 32 is

a. a code word for Cock Block
b. a meeting place for gay people
c. a sexual position where the penis becomes hard in preparation for homosexual sex

 LOL I bet most people don’t know that.

om nom nom can I have you as birthday present? =3
(c) oldxian

Happy birthday, me :)

Bleach: Chapter 501

So it took another 2 months for me to pick this up again. This time due to work and me being a socialite person with a life. Let see if Kubo managed to grab my attention again with this chapter or will I wait another month to read another chapter of Bleach.

As expected, the person who killed Opie has wounded Urahara as well which mean s/he is a force to be reckoned with. This frustrated Ichigo even further as none of his attempts to break from that "cage" work.

I saw this panel and I imagined him fucking Rukia Orz

The shinigami at Soul Society, especially the taicho and fukutaicho, are also trying to figure out how to defeat the enemy that they know shit about. Byakuya still managed to be extremely cute (well, okay - funny) with Renji in one panel and I must admit that I missed that. Anyway, in order for them to learn, Byakuya has to continue fighting while Renji try to see their enemy's ability and weaknesses, if any.

What Byakuya just noticed is that there are something else in his enemy's attack which causes his arms to freeze. That dude called it fear. It was cliche as fuck but whatever. It sounds legit and to be honest, if I'm creating a new zanpaktou, it would be pretty handy ability to have. His arrows are like the Dementor. Heh.

Through this enemy's ability, we get to learn what fear means to Byakuya.

As expected, he has sister complex. LOL

Because the enemy successfully made Byakuya (almost) consumed in his own fear, he got an opening to obliterate Byakuya. Is this the end of for the 6th Division Captain? I will be damned if it is.

Goodbye 2012 and hallo 2013

Well, guess what? Mayan fucked up their calculation. We are still breathing and the world hasn't ended.

That was bad news for few people I know but for the rest of us, life goes on because at the end of the day, it really does goes on no matter how fucked up the day has been. The outcome depends on either you don't give a fuck, or give it one fuck too many. Mine is almost always the former.

But yes, lets talk about 2012. How did it goes? Has it been kind to you? Did you manage to achieve everything that you set out to do when you make that New Year resolutions?

Yes.

Having said that, the first half of my 2012 went by like a blur. I can't remember most of the details except that I completed my certificate at Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia earlier than expected (in February instead of April), I opened Scrumbtious outlet in March, went to South Korea in April, quit my job, is diagnosed with some shitty cancerous shit, and then... what? LOL

I quit my good paying job in order to re-joined JOHO in June. If it wasn't for the passion and my love for them boys, I wouldn't have done it. This decision wasn't approved by many for obvious reason but meh, fuck it. There will come a time though when I will decide when I have had enough. Even more so now that the Shell deal is on and when you have to deal with a prick day in and day out.

It is also because of JOHO that I ended up having no time for animu or writings nowadays. It's a bit sad but I'm not complaining for I gained so much more in real life. I fell hard for a crush of mine in June, a month before my scheduled wedding hence I broke off the engagement. Unknowingly he has saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life so to him I'll be eternally grateful.

The best part of 2012, apart of finding myself through love - unrequited it may be, was all the getaway trips I went to. It's the company that matters to be honest so thanks guys for joining me on my madness. I used to do a solo trip before but I am not sure if I can do that anymore nowadays without feeling too lonely. This is why I have a feeling that 2013 will be awful, whats with Jebat is no longer here. FFFFF-

The people I am close with said I have changed. Well, I guess I did but not so much that you won't recognize me. Then again, I have not a clue what changes did they see because as far as I'm concern, the changes are subtle and only those involved knew what. Having said that, I doubt the person involved even know about it because that person doesn't know me that well to begin with. I allowed that person to see the side of me  that nobody, not even my jerks or Jebat, got a chance to see. As for the rest of them persons, I let them made their own assumptions and thus they all think I'm beyond saving. Meh, it's not like I give a damn about their opinions anyway. 

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 wish I could say that I want the same shit for 2013. I can't though. The thought of a new year is already draining me. For whatever reason I am not looking forward to anything. I have no new dreams, nor wishes. It sort of left me hollowed. So at the moment I failed to come up with any resolutions, or rather I don't really give a fuck anymore.

All I know is this, I will live a life of no regrets. I said what I needed to say and will continue doing what I want to do. Even if the outcome is unfavorable, at least I took a chance rather than wondering of the what-if.

So 2013, come at me bro.

I'm ending this post with this quote: "look for love but do not trust hope"
