My Top 10: Anime of 2009

Wow, another year has gone by. That was freaking fast.

Anyway, once again SC posted a linked about the top 10 anime of 2009 thanks to the poll at 2ch. When I saw the list, I did not facepalm. The list is kinda better than the Anime Rag's 10 ten anime list. Having said that, I still disagree at some of the choices.

1. Bakemonogatari (1231)
2. Darker Than Black: Gemini of Meteor (805)
3. Saki (704)
4. K-ON! (582)
5. Higashi no Eden (525)
6. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (456)
7. Kimi ni Todoke (428)
8. Taisho Yakyu Musume (238)
9. Natsume's Book of Friends (209)
10. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (199)
    

Some of the anime listed above are in my 'on hold' list for a reason. And I really do have a problem that Bakemonogatari is at number 1. The show is the most over-rated show of 2009 is what I think. But of course to each is his/her own.

If I would choose top 10 anime of 2009 that have impressed me, it would be (in no particular order):


Shangri-la. I still has not finished this show but from what I have seen so far, it is definitely one of the better anime out there. The art quality is amazing and maybe that is why I'm so biased towards this show despite that it was produced by Gonzo (RIP).

This show made my cried. And the story is something different. It's original or maybe I just think so because I live in a place that will probably never experience an earth quake or volcano eruption. Thanks the merciful god. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 definitely deserved to be in anyone's top ten anime list (of 2009).


Anyone who is into shounen must have been pretty excited when they heard the news that they are re-doing Fullmetal Alchemist. This time around they promised to stick to the manga, and that they did and renamed it Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I approved of this greatly.

Zoku Natsume Yuujincho is the second season of this awesome show. Those who have seen it will agree that this anime deserved a mention. So thank you 2ch for having that common sense.


Hatsukoi Limited is before the invasion of K-ON! Even though it has some moe moments in it, it still has more depth than K-ON! can ever dream to achieve. I am not a fan of shoujo but I rated this 9/10 in my review for a reason.


This one caught me by surprised. I didn't expect it to be so good. I didn't do the usual backgroud checking when I decided to download the episodes but boy I am so glad that I did. Like Shangri-La, the art captured my interest. Combined with a pretty decent story line, Sora wa Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai (or Munto for short) turned out to be one if it's kind in 2009.

Okay, I know what you were thinking. But hell, I loved it and I am biased as fuck. So The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya season 2 made it in my list. What a shock! Shuddup.

Higashi no Eden, if I'm correct, must be in everyone's list too. It is because the show is amazing. Enough said.

fanart by robotfish

Kūchū Buranko or Trapeze is a no brainer. I am a fan of something different and Trapeze definitely bring that to the plate. The story is pretty solid too with a not-too-hidden message in every episodes. I like that. I like that a lot.

fanart by moca

Okay to be honest, this one is I'm not too sure of. Maybe it is because I'm doing a marathon of the show at the moment that it influenced my choices but so far, it isn't too shabby of a choice. Pandora Hearts is pretty entertaining in my opinion and that made it a decent show.

Wow... that was hard. After looking at the list of 2009 anime, there were not really that many good anime this year compared to last year. If I am to compile a list of last year's anime I could do so with one eye closed.

Like I said, those 10 are /my/ anime list. I would probably have included Taisho Yakyuu Musume or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni if I've seen it. But since I have not, I have to reserved my opinion although I'm pretty sure Higurashi no Naku Koro ni will easily be in my list if the first season what it was based upon.

God, I really hope 2010 would be a good year for anime production. 2009's are quite an abomination (I like to exaggerate >3).

Diary of a tard - week 2, November '09

Sunday, November 8

The title for Cheburashka Arere episode 3 is Mischievous Shapoklyak. Don't ask me what Shapoklyak is. I don't have an effing clue -__-

Harabal learns of Bektel's death and searches for the Evil One in Shut Hell chapter 15, with knowledge that his brother Yurul is now an accomplished. Alfad who noticed that Shut Hell begin to hesitate because of Yurul's word takes matter into his own hands and slices Yuru's palm with his poison knife, that guaranteed death, as he fondly said so in several chapters ago...

Bamboo Blade Special+Omake saw the flashback of Saya and Kirino and how Kirino convinced Saya to joined the kendo club (well not really :P). The omakes were pretty hilarious XD

When just I thought Kuroko can't be more annoying! I can't stand her voice and her attitude at all, and I wasn't referring to her gayness shit. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun seriously needs start a good plot. I love biribiri but this is fucked. She's a fucking railgun ffs! At least brings Touma back?!

Don't you have normal eyes? XO

OMG I just realized how incredibly gay the OP of Fairy Tail is. After 2 weeks of neglect, it comes to light that the comedy in Fairy Tail the anime is freaking gay too. It was too over the top. They were trying too hard. How sad. I'm tempted to stick to the manga and ignores the anime now. Unlike Bleach, this is a series that is not close to my heart at all. Not to mention that hearing Haruhi's voice on Lucy. It just too weird. And what the heck is with the lame introduction of Erza at the end of episode 4?! Jeebus.

This is how the epic Erza should be introduced you fag! She's carrying a fucking horn not giant carrot! XO

Tuesday, November 10

We saw flashback as to how Lune got to be Envy's master in chapter 10 of Ultimo. It creeps me out when I saw Lune has a picture of Yamato hanging in his room. I mean I want him to be gay but this is starting to ruin my fantasy. But the flashback explains a lot. Like why Lune looks so feminine. He was a princess in his past life. On the night she was set to marry the useless emperor whom she hated, Yamato appeared and the princess saw her as her knight in shining armor and somehow they two were united. Of course she can't help but feel envious towards the present chick (I don't care what her name was) who Yamato's claimed to be in love with. Not to mention that Ultimo is gay for Yamato too. You know what... I really like where this story is going. Scratched that part where I was creep out ^__^. At the end of the chapter, Dunstan appeared with another Douji in tow, which he called Miryuu. And so the plot thickens.

In latest chapters (16 and 17) of Switch, Hal was again on a stake out. They are after a drug user and the suspect was involved with Komatsu who immediately recognized that Hal is a cop. He even knows that Kai is working undercover as the kindergarten teacher. I love that elusive bad guy. He's so cool in a way. I mean we are talking about Hal here. No one gave him the slip! I still haven't seen that shounen-ai theme in this manga though. Goddammit!

Wednesday, November 11

I really don't like Lucy, even if she's voiced by Aya Hirano. She was totally useless 91% of the time. She existed solely for comic relief. My opinion might change as I read/watch the chapter/episode further but I doubt it. In episode 5 of Fairy Tail this week, we were introduced to the awesome that is Erza. They are set out to fight the Dark Guild Eisenwald because they have the "lullaby" flute that can caused mass murder.

I is on episode 23 of Blood+. Saya just met Diva @_@

Bleach episode 245 ain't bad. Ain't good either. The old fuck Yamaji is back apparently :(

Thursday, November 12

While I was browsing deviantart, I came upon a fanart made for Shibatora manga. I was intrigued so I checked it out. It was surprisingly nice! It has drama, action, mystery, as what you would have expected from a police manga. Shibata Taketora is a policeman who looks like a middle schooler which explains why he was only in trouble and being picked on a lot. He strive to be a detective and work for the Department of Youth Safety. One day he met a school girl named Mizuki and all hell break loose because she is such a prankster. The truth is, she has one fucked up father who just murdered a drug dealer and now he was asking her to go to the police station and take the blame for him. Man, she has some serious father-complex issue... Anyway, because of this case, he was promoted.


Kilik and the gang is facing the Black Clown in chapter 67 of Soul Eater. The Black Clown used some illusion shit to make it appear like their body parts are melting. Of course Medusa is the mastermind in all this. The kilik he did the soul resonance, it was freaking awesome!

*fangasm*

After they defeated Black Clown, we moved on to Black.Star and Tsubaki. They were sent to find Medusa and Chrona and whaddaya know... Chrona came to greet them. OMG when did Black.Star matured so much? *squirts*

They explained the golden sword in niche in episode 4 of Letter Bee. Even though Lag has delivered her, he took her back and made her his dingo, along with Steak. Pretty lame episode because it was predictable. Thank goodness episode 5 is okay because we have Largo Lloyd around! But I really want to snap Nelli's neck in two...

Friday, November 13

The chapter of Bleach was lame but the fact that there is a possibilities of Byakuya and Kenpachi fighting... it kind of worth it.

It just goes to show that I'm not a narutard when I can't remember what the heck happened last week. So obviously when I read this week chapter of Naruto, I was lost. I remember certain things like the fight between Kisame (did I even get his name right?!) and Bee but the part with that voodoo doll totally escaped me. Anyway, at the end of the chapter Kisame fused with his sword Samehada and that totally grossed me out!


In chapter 4 of Shibatora, he was promoted to the Department of Youth Safety after his heroic deeds saving Mizuki from killing herself. What I don't like however is Mizuki living with him >=(

Zettai Karen Children chapter 195: heh Hyoubu is purposely made Fujiko mad. Hyoubu is working for Robiet which granted him and the P.A.N.D.R.A immunity. Meanwhile, the Children were surprised to find Hyoubu's minions as transfered students in their school. Instead of the Children getting worked up, it was the Phantom who was pissed.

Saturday, November 14

I have this bad habit of not finishing a series with only 1-2 episodes left which explains why my progress & future list keeps building up. So I decided to ignore my work and finish some of the series today.

Lets start with Dogs: Bullet and Carnage OVA. I have only one episode left: episode 4. The first thing I noticed was the fucked up features of Heine. He doesn't look bad ass at all! But whatever. Badao was awesome ^o^ So this episode pretty much showed how Nill was adopted to the family. The best part is when Giovanni appeared. Now... that dude is a freaking bad ass! The OVA is pretty damn close to the manga though so *thumbs up* for that.

Next up is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I have 2 episodes left. Noted that I freaking love the OP and ED songs. OK bBack to the episodes... it tugged my heart when Yuuki asked Mirai what would she do if he was dead. Here's why: I caught a glimpse in some of the reviews I've accidentally read that Yuuki was dead so that simple sentence made me cried T__T Every time I didn't see Yuuki on the screen, I was covered in cold sweat, dreading the inevitable. Seriously, this is why I hate spoilers. So episode 8 was real. I wasn't fooled. It was Mirai who lived in denial.

THE HELL I CRIED FOR THE NEXT HOUR WHENEVER I THOUGHT ABOUT YUUKI *wails*

Funny that anime /manga might be the only things that I get emotional for >_>

To console myself, there is no other anime that can do it if it is not Gintama! I'm so glad that I did not catch up to the anime like my Gintamard friends urged me to ^__^. Episode 123 is the continuation of Monster Hunters parody - Monkey Hunters which mean Gin's analog stick is still the hex socket screwdriver XD and they have found out that the two aliens were Hijikata and Okita. The also realized that they have to live their lives as 'drivers and learned to accept their fate except for one woman:

Gintama has the best scriptwriters ever!

When I saw this, I knew exactly what comes next! XD

OMG classic Gintama! ^o^

Catching up to the latest episode (6) of Letter Bee. Anyway, I could already tell that Jiggy Pepper would be someone that is made of win, even if just to spite Nelli. He might not be as epic as Gauche but win nonetheless. and OMG not only that I was right, he is a fucking bishie too! w00t!! By the way, why most of the characters in this series are such cry babies?

Diary of a tard - week 4, September '09

Sunday, September 21

Selamat Hari Raya to everyone who is celebrating the month of Syawal. I'm in front of my klux0r (yeah he's my lappy. I named him too, thanks to blur for the inspiration :P) catching up on my anime (addicted much?). I probably should spends this time updating my fanfic but I tell myself that I need inspirations and anime provides plenty.

Konata and Haruhi do not want to be left behind

First up on my catch up list is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Earlier in the episodes, it was Mari who constantly needs to comfort the two siblings. Now it seems like Mari needs comforting more than the two of them. In episode 9, Mari finally managed to get to Sangenjaya only to find her house burnt down with news that her daughter and mom might have died in the fire. I was amazed at how strong the kids were in this situation. It was such a relief when the kids found Hina. I like the subtle way they try to convey the victims’ feelings to us. I can certainly share their anguish, sadness and desperation.

They reminisced about Marimo-neesan who Chief is very fond of in Kanamemo episode 8. It was a sweet episode thanks to Marimo-neesan. I'm gonna repeat myself: I really like the Chief and she is the perfect size for nendoroid too!

Zettai Karen Children chapter 188: I think Hyoubu should drop by the Children's apartment to celebrate Kaoru's birthday instead of watching from afar. But I guess his time playing the villain is getting a major cut down with the appearance of Yuuri/Phantom Daughter. Oh and they showed us more Phantom than they had ever did before. Looks like Phantom is using his own daughter to do his evil deeds. I foresee Yuuri to switch sides soon.
I lol'd when I read how Minamoto get flustered around Kaoru due to her kissing the Phantom Daughter.

Monday, 21 September

Kana and the Chief go on a diet in episode 9 of Kanamemo. I was like huh? Why a 10 year-old kid needs to go on a diet?! Apparently the Chief thought that she's getting fat when in fact she just got bigger. Phew that was a relief. I hate it when anime sending out the wrong message about beauty. Anyway, to help Kana out with her diet, Hinata lends her a dog suit. Somehow the episode ends up with Kana looking after her friend's dog =\
Btw, it is just me or is Yuuri is like the male version of Karasuma Oji from School Rumble?

Tuesday, 22 September

I'm getting tired of watching the same shit repeated itself over and over again in Umineko no Naku Koro ni but I was pissed when Battler said he believes in Beatrice in episode 10. The bitch I mean witch was trying my patience. More so in episode 11 when Battler fully surrendered to her. It was really painful to see him naked and in chain. WHAT. THE. FUCK?! Just when I thought it is over we start back from zero but with more bitches I mean witches! Freaking Jeebus...

Time to catch up on Shangri-La! Lady Ryoko reminds me of Beatrice so I dislike her right away. I still need to get my head around what is going on. What I get so far after episode 4 is everyone wants to go to Atlas, Metal0Age is an anti-government organization, Kuniko is the next leader of Metal-Age, Lady Mikuni can detects lies and will killed liars at leisure, Leon is gay for Sion (incest!!) who is a masochist because he loves it when Lady Ryoko punishes him and Atlast Lottery is like the shit Island movie (starring Ewan McGreggor) where the supposed winners were mislead to believe they are going to paradise. Oh and I love the sexual tension between Kuniko and Major Kunihito Kusanagi :3

When Kuniko goes to Akihabara, she and Momoko met the Old Loli, Old Army and Old Camera men. These retarded otakus make all sorts of noises when they are communicating. It was rather funny.

Bleach episode 238 is a fanservice for Hyourinmaru fans so I is feeling appreciative this week ^_^

Thursday, September 24

They introduced Miss Nina, the taylor, in chapter 37 of Kuroshitsuji. She is a possible lesbian and/or a pedophile who is gay for Mey-Rin and horny for little children. This is such a wasteful and boring chapter. The highlight is Ciel trying to hide the mark at his back -__-

Urgh Kaname and Yuuki are such dicks. Incest is fucking euwww when it comes to these two. Vampire Knight chapter 54 introduced us to Sara and Oujo, another pure blood. Both kinda have ill intention towards Kaname and Yuuki. But who the hell cares. I want moar ZERO!!!

Friday, September 25

Has mixed feelings for Bleach chapter 375 but one thing for sure, the spread is freaking delicious!!

*squirts*

Naruto chapter 465 is as boring as ever. Sasgay knocked the pillars and with everyone trapped, he looks for Danzo. Fucking selfish gay bastard.

Dogs: Bullets and Carnage chapter 43 w00t!!! I really want to know who is that guy in charge, the one with glasses and acting all shiznit. If there's one thing I like about this manga is the actions speak louder than words. Heine vs Giovanni is freaking awesome. The fact that they can't killed each other no matter how much bullets they put in the other's body is carnage indeed. I'm still pissed at Mihai for shooting Bado. If Bado didn't get out of there alive, I'm gonna fucking skin him alive.

I get easily irritated when Kyon is on Asahina's protective mode. It is just my bad luck that The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya episode 12 starts with the exact scene -__-
Hahahaha Haruhi is made of win! I love her when she shots the priest! LMAO. That's Haruhi for you. Mikuru Beam FTW!!!

I freaking love Tamama in episode 2 of Keroro Gunsou. His psychotic voice is effing hilarious. and I also love Kiruru's epic laugh. ~kukukukuku XD

I was fooled twice when they showed Yuuki lying dead in a hospital bed. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 episode 8 did well to trick me. Phew... without me realizing it, I have become attached to the main characters and want them to go through this catastrophe with as little hardship as possible. I am fond of Yuuki in particular. I swear he has the cutest boy voice I had ever heard in anime.
btw, I have a feeling that Mari is not telling Mirai the real situation about her parents.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni (episode 9) is getting absurd and confusing. I want to see that other witch comes into play like NIAO!!

Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan ke-52 buat semua warga Malaysia ^__^

Decides to take a first look at Shangri-La. I have been postponing this series since it first released. I was pleasantly surprised to see that quality of the animation and the amazing character design. Wonder why it doesn't get as much publicity though? Episode 1 pretty much throws you all sorts of information. It kinda make me confused. I am sure I'll get the details eventually after I have watched more episodes. All I know is I freaking love the fighting sequence.


Tuesday, September 1

Only managed to watch Keroro Gunsou episode 3. Giroro and Dororo made a comeback at the second half of the episode. Giroro is planning on conquering the wurado alone while Dororo once again phailed to get the recognition he deserved.

Wednesday, September 2

The fact that I only managed to watch only one anime per day for the past couple of days is pissing me off especially when work is raping me hard in the butt.

I saw Renji becoming a man again. Or at least on his way to become a man. Bleach episode 235 shows the continuation of his fight with Zabimaru. It also shows Ichigo finally free from the bind that hold him down but they didn't show us how exactly he did it. Phailed. Oh and we got to see Kazeshini kicked Hisagi's butt and Ichigo's ass-looking-good hollow :D

Ultimo chapter 7 is made of awesomesauce. I love to see the interaction between Yamato and his classmates. It was teh funneh. This chapter introduced Koganei Hana, another enemy of Yamato. She's 6 years old kid with a foul mouth (he called Yamato bitchface. LMAO) with this fucking big fat douji (Edile the Glutton) following her around. Yamato who decided to pretend that he's asleep in all that ruckus cracks me up big time. I'm glad to report that Vice still kick ass, he kinda talks like me, utilizing the fuck word to the fullest. kukukuku... But I'm so freaking excited by the fact that Lune is a potential enemy to Yamato. Lune btw looks like girl so I'm like... YamatoxLune FTW! XD
One more thing that I can't fucking wait to happen is to see what the deal is with the vow that everyone is talking about. I want to see it happen!

There is a little note at the end of Ultimo chapter explaining the name of the seven deadly sins. Pretty useful I might say.

I love the title for Hyakko chapter 28: The one standing is Yanagi. The one sitting is Kitsune. The one walking is the king of all beasts. As you might have expected, the chapter is about the three boys in Hyakko! w00t!!! I am a fan of Kitsune and Shishimaru. I think they are both fucking adorable. Well, in this chapter the boys are trying to flirt with women. When Kitsune saw Ayumi, he said point blank that he wanna fuck her which deserved a shinai to the face by Shishimaru. And then Ayumi told the boys that she saw Torako at the bookstore. Shishimaru act all cool and shit about not wanting to be a bother to Torako but suddenly remembers that he has a book that he needs to get. Hahahaha fucking smooth there Shishimaru. ROFL. And then Kitsune pulls another smooth moves on Ayumi. Damn, I want them for my boyfriends @_@

It's the girls festival outing in chapter 29. So are the boys. The usual girls don't look like they normally do so the boys (only Kitsune and Yanagi. Shishimaru is freaking loyal to Torako) accidentally flirts with them. I laugh my ass off when Shishimaru saw Torako eating a chocolate coated hotdog thingy. So erotic! And... What the hell, Kitsune and Ayumi again?!

Chapter 30 is a short one about Ayumi meeting an old friend from middle school. Meh.

Chapter 31 saw the girls completing their summer homework at Touma's place. I love the fact that Torako and Amagasa are buddies. That is so ironically funny.

We got new characters in chapter 32! Two from the four deities of Kamizono are running for council president. They are: Muromachi Kirin and Nara Takaya. So obviously they would be mayhem and Torako just happened to be at the center of it, as always. But wait, listen.... *SQUEALS!!!* We have Shishimaru too!! bhuahahahahaha I'm fucking ecstatic right now. I don't care if this post doesn't make sense to anyone else XD


LOL I already know the outcome of chapter 33. It was easy to figure out when Shishimaru and Torako are put into the same equation. Shishimaru kicks ass y'all!! I guessed right. Kitsune is indeed the all-knowing-spirit. Now I wonder if he's the one playing Takaya for the presidency. Can't be right? ...Nah, impossible. BUT WHAT THE HELL, I'M RIGHT ONCE AGAIN! Kitsune is cool like that, don'tchaknow?

I want to go to Hyakko. ~nyuuuu.... That's what I feel like when I read chapter 34. That school is so retardedly awesome! The story is developing nicely. No more randomness. I love it. To be continued though >> Tak-kun the tsundere LMAO XD

I really feel like I should start watching Pandora Heart soon after I saw Pandora Hearts DVD Specials episode 2. I find myself asking the reason why I was so excited. The only answer that came to mind is the heavily implied yaoi theme that was being shown in the DVD specials. Anyone care to enlighten me if this is true?

Thursday, September 3

I was browsing through one manga and chance upon a oneshot called Akazukin Eliza. Just what. the. fuck?!

Friday, September 4

I need to learn to remember the characters in Drifter soon. Chapter 5 it out today. It was short with no significant development -__-

Toyoshisa: If you can't speak Japanese, then just die!

Awesome @_@

Watched Bincho-tan episode 1 and 2 on animax. Can someone tell me why is she wearing a log on her head? Also Bincho's height is like an average 6 year old kid so how does she ends up in shoe/rice pot/etc and be like 1 inch tall? I'm confused =\

Feather has told Minamoto of the different personalities of the Phantom daughter in Zettai Karen Children chapter 186. She was about to rape Minamoto too but alas, we are deprived of that scene when Kouru noticed something is amissed. As expected, all hell break loose when she saw Feather kissing Minamoto.

Decided that I need a break from work so I watch the latest OVA that I downloaded, Denpa Teki na Kanojo. It started with rape scene so naturally I was excited intrigued. The review will be coming soon.

The first half of episode 4 of Keroro Gunsou show us the imminent showdown between Natsumi and Giroro. Or sorta. The second half shows Fuyuki as child and of his ambition to take over the wurado. The first half is teh funneh.

Naruto chapter 462 is out late today. I only got to read it at 6:42pm. I am not enjoying the recent chapters one bit. I blame it on Sasgay. The actions were decent but when it involved Sasgay I lost all interest. I'm glad his page time was cut short. So Tobi has the three of them the truth about Itachi. Lets hope they are not blinded by their hard on for Sasgay and accept the fact that Sasgay is a bitch that needs to be eliminated!! Also interesting history on the sage but i refused to believe the curse shit Tobi is talking about. Fate my ass. Get it fucking over with already!!

Stark is ready for revenge in chapter 372 of Bleach. Drools worthy ending to otherwise lame chapter.

Crap, no Karneval this week? =(

Vampire Knight chapter 53 is out. I'm glad the mangaka explained who Kaito is. For a while I was like... who the fuck is Kaito O_o? He seems cool. I like him right away when he used Wakaba as a sacrificial lamb. kukuku... Thank goodness too that Zero hasn't forgot his resolve to kill Yuki because that girl deserved to be killed after all. Incest WTF is fucking euwww. Whenever the manga swayed to Yuuki and Kaname, I want to puke blood >=(

It has been a while since I last watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Episode 16 saw the Elric brothers finding out about Hughes death, Jean is being used by Lust and Mustang getting mad at what he has discovered so far. Not much going on in this episode. I guess they want us to savor the moment of sadness but I have already cried my eyes out when Hughes was murdered.

Keroro Gunsou is back on Animax, now in season 2. Not much LOL factor in episode 1 but it's good to see them frogs again. Tamama remains my fav.

Tuesday, August 25

Too busy flapping to my latest figure, White Hollow Ichigo SDCC Limited Edition to bother with manga or anime XD

Wednesday, August 26

I can't believe I forgot about Ultimo. Thanks to Nate, I pick it up once again. Yamato is unexpectedly funny which is such a nice surprise. He add a lot of humor to balance out the seriousness and the fighting in the manga. Review can be found here.

Bleach episode 234 is phailed albeit just a tad T__T

Pick up yet another seinen manga -__-". This one called Livingstone. One look at the spread, I know I must read it. Review will be coming soon.


Thursday, August 27

Happy Birthday Lia!

Yikes, I'm way behind with my weekly anime =\

Phosphorous is the missing element in Element Hunters episode 7. Well let see... Homi gets all emo about his dead grandad, Chiara gets tentacle rape treatment and Ren was being Ren (I love his dialect btw). The QEX this time around uses the kids' fear against themselves so Homi have to face his fear and be hero of the day. I am not sure why I want to watch this. I sucks at chemical to begin with. I wish we had this show when I was taking my SPM -__-"

I really enjoy watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.o episode 7. The situation between Kento, Yuuki and Mirai when they were observing the robots reminds me of the same situation that I'd encountered numerous times, but instead of with robots, its with either manga/anime/figures. I get angry just like Kento when Mirai belittled the robots. Hearing Mirai calling Kento a robot otaku kinda hit close to home. But of course, I don't have that noble notion of creating a manga or publish an anime that can rescue people or whatever. hehe. I really look forward to see Kento again. I hope he does shows up in the future episode. This episode has everything: excitement, suspense, heart warming moments and a cliffie too! Besides episode 5, this gotta be one of my fav episodes so far.

Friday, August 28

Naruto chapter 461 saw Sasgay charging the Raikage head on, only to be saved by his comrades when his ass was about to be kicked. Sasgay being Saucegay, he believe he doesn't need any help. Of course he didn't need any help. Naruto is all about him. He'll win even with someone's dick (I bet Naruto's) inside his ass. Thank goodness this chapter is ain't all about him though. Gaara schooling the old fart is a moment to be cherished. Ah the wise, Gaara. I love him. He made all of these Sasgay shit bearable.

The Phantom Daughter is made of phailed. LOL. Zettai Karen Children chapter 185 saw her trying to make sure that the Children will have enough time finishing their mission for Kouru's birthday so she helped them out. In doing so, her fourth personality emerged.... and to be continued -__-"

Sleepyfans is late with Bleach chapter 371 today. stupid-biased-dumbfuck grr... and when it was released, I feel a tad disappointed. I have mixed feelings about the chapter. I got nosebleed from seeing Gin and Soul Society Aizen but kinda pissed that Barragan gets a backstory and Ulquiorra didn't. Gah!!

Saturday, August 29

I'm not a cat person but I feel sorry for the cats in Mononoke chapter 7. The old bugger deserved to be eaten by the mononoke. Served him right. *nods*

Karneval chapter 13 is released earlier than usual. I thought Gareki said he will kill whoever killed Tsubaki but when he saw Yotaka, all his resolve dissolved. Kinda phailed. And man he's weak! I never see him being of any used in a fight yet O_O
I'm sad that we didn't get to know Yotaka any better. I wish the mangaka would keep him around a tad longer T__T

I pick up Bakemonogatari after gabsicle convinced me to do so. The first couple of chapters are good but it starts to go downhill after that. I'm a bit disappointed to be honest. The reason why I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have is probably because of Senjogahara. You see, if i don't like a character, I start to loose interest in the show especially if the storyline is weak. But I'm repeating myself here...

Moving on!

Moyashimon manga is finally updated after more than a year! Jeebus! Nothing much going on besides Sawaki meeting new microscopic beings. I want to see Yuuki dressed as girl >=D

Thanks to crazyanimegyrl, I finally get around to watch Yurumates. It was time well spent :)

D.Gray Man chapter 187 is out dudes and duddettes!!! *craze* (Allen looks so damn delectable in that spread =3)
Oh man, they finally introduced the Noah. It was a fangasm moment. Silent please!
...
*after a minute of silence*
Although it was full of awesomesauce (blood! blood! kill! kill! die! die! IT IS CARNAGE!!), the latest chapter presents more questions than answers for me. It feels a bit rushed and some of the things need further explanation like the third exorcists stuffs *scratches head*. I am also having a hard time trying to remember the name of the Noah. Gah its so confusing! And we have to wait till December for the next chapter? WTF...

The mangatard in me picked up FLAGS eventhough I know I should be reading the manga on my on-hold list instead. The temptation of shounen is too great for me to resist. Some people going to kill me for picking up this one though. LOL gomen-ne?

Watch Pandora Heart DVD Specials episode 1. I haven't watch the show yet but after what I saw in that special, I'm tempted to start the series.

As for K-ON! Specials... well nothing really special about it >_>

Wednesday, August 19

I used to look forward to Friday but they changed the released day so now I look forward to Wednesday to get my usual weekly dosage of Bleach anime. By afternoon, I was watching the filler episode 233. It wasn't as awesome as the last two episodes though v__v.

After Bleach, I continued with Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 episode 6, ignoring the pile of work sitting besides my lappy. The news that Sangejaya is on fire caught Mari off guard which lead to some of her flashbacks. It was interesting to see the father of her daughter and I thought it was sweet. It wasn't as emotional as the last episode but it still has its moment. I also noticed Mirai and Yuuki getting closer as the show progresses. It was good.

I decided to watch Kanamemo episode 7 when sleep inconveniently choose to deprive me of its luxury. It was an okay episode I guess. I got to learn a bit more about Obon festival. At the very least it didn't help me get sleepy.

Off I go to read a book!

Thursday, August 20

Headache! Thanks to the lack of sleep. The best cure is obviously to watch few episodes of anime.

I started off with Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 7. I have never seen so much child abused in an episode before. No wonder she turned out to be a psycho 9 year old kid. Jeebus. Other than that, endless eight dejavu, anyone? =\

and then, for god knows how I ended up reading a few doujins. O_O
Damn they are really good too. Alamak... bulan puasa dah dekat ar! LOL

Friday, August 21

Friday is WSJ day. The day I anxiously sitting in front of my lappy at noon, waiting for the released of WSJ series, particularly Bleach and Naruto.

As usual, Naruto chapter 460 got released first. I swear sleepyfans is biased and they ain't that good at translation either. Another stupid chapter dedicated to Sasgay. I swear I am definitely getting sick of all the Sasgay shits that has been going on for years now. I mean... Jeebus, move the fuck on!

I downloaded my Bleach manga only if its translated by Maximum7 but they are late with their release. So to satisfy my addiction for Bleach, I just have make do with the release from Sleepfans first. Bleach chapter 370 says goodbye to god of Hueco Mundo.

Kuroshitsuji chapter 36 is also out today. Ciel is cold!!! *shiver me timbers. aye!*


Saturday, August 22

Didn't get much of anything done today so before the day ends I decided to catch up on few things.

Zettai Karen Children chapter 184 is back after taking a break last week. They started the chapter with reference to Endless Eight. Hahaha win! *chuckles* Nothing much going on in this chapter. They are making preparation for Kaoru birthday. Phantom's daughter is pissed though because the Children had to be on a mission because she was looking forward to jam with everyone *facepalm*

Next, I put my friend who I have a chat with on YM on brb status because I want to watch Melancholy of Haruhi 2 episode 11 *sighs*... XD
Even with all those complains, Kyon still stick to Haruhi like glue. Yet he confuses me. It was obvious he's into Asahina-san. We can tell that much from his soliloquies. So, how exactly does he perceived Haruhi as? Does he has feelings for her? I would like to believe that he's into Asahina-san for physical reason. I mean guys like airhead girls like that, don't they (the logic is beyond me, btw), so he isn't really into "into" Asahina. From the subtle hints in Endless Eight (my fav part too!) I think it is safe to say that his feelings for Haruhi is complicated but it definitely go deeper than physical appearance. As you can see, I'm making the logic up to satisfy my OTP fantasies =3
... which has nothing to do with the episode at all LOL. I like how Koizumi dropping hints like bombs whenever he opens his mouth (or rather eyes in his case).

Kyon: Don't smile at me like that. I'll turn to stone.

hahahahaha fucking LMAO.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni episode 8: What's up with Battler sleeping while sitting? Ain't they supposed to be fucking rich? They can't afford to give these kids rooms of their own? I dunno about other fansub release but I downloaded mine from [gg] and is pretty pissed to find the gory stuffs were mosaic-ed.
OK.... a hoard of evil goat butlers? and then they pulled out a saber-light sword out of nowhere? that WTF-ness is equivalence to Chaos;Head (read:shit). Gah and more shits follow after that, with Beatrice calling out Lust and Wrath to kill Kanon and Jessica. She then said something like humiliating Kanon even after death by sinking his corpse through the floor. How was that humiliating? It was all so effing gloriously fucked. The highlight of this episode for me was the Kanon and Jessica dying scene. Everything else is made out of poop. Also, Beatrice and Maria laughs are getting on my nerves r__r

Gah, thank goodness I have Gintama to lift my spirits up after that. Finally, after a month, Rumbel released episode 118 and 119. I like Rumbel but they seriously need to hurry the fuck up with the sub for Gintama. I mean, the episodes were already out there!

Gintama episode 118 saw the conclusion to the Ryuuguujou Arc. So good to have the young Gintoki back and his ending scene was ~nyuu... So heart-warming, just as expected from Gintoki. Old Kagura-chan and old Kyuubi-chan are teh funneh! LOL. I am glad we gotta see Sinpachi being heroic. It is such a good change. He deserved it. btw, I am still disturbed by the fact that Gintoki turned into a small sized old man. What's up with that? O_o I pictured him to be at least like Sean Connery when he gets old ^^"

Kagura: So we are slamming that chin-chin into that...
Gin: Zura... the target is the canon's anus

hahahaha fucking win! (in case you didn't know, chin-chin is a slang for pen0r XD)

Gintama episode 119 is another awesomely random episode. This time it is about cigarettes. Okita, as always, is being the perfect douche to Hijikata-san. He initiates the smoking ban which lead the addicted Hijikata to travel around the universe to find a place to smoke. He stops at Hamek planet to find the Picolo clan was in ruin so he decides to defeat Brieza who was responsible for the destruction. Then he met Kobayashi which lead him to find the seven slippery balls that ends up to be "dripping wet balls" to bring back Grillin. Dragon Ball reference FTW! oh and to see Hijikata wearing Goku's outfit... priceless ^____^

ps: I love Tomokazu Sugita and to listen to him as Gintoki after I heard him as Kyon... it provides me with such blissful fangasm.

crap, I forgot about my friend on YM!
