Last Exile ~Fam, The Silver Wing~ episode 3: Ades Federation has many good airship captain and so they continue to invade other city like Notos. Orand and Sorush are just like Luscinia Hafez, who reports to a 12 year old kid, also the head of Ades Federation (insert facepalm) called Augusta. In front of her, I see a different side of Luscinia. He's more soft and gentle. Anyhoo, since Ades has Exile, the Turanian cities are wise enough to surrender and avoid war. They have seen what happened to Iglasia. Mean while the ungrateful Milia blames the death of her sister on Fam. She's acting holier than thou just because she's a princess of a fallen city. Fuck her. Towards the end, Fam heard the news about Sylvius from Dio. She decided to steal it for Milia. Humph!
p/s: Fam is adopted and her dream is to re-opened the Grand Race. For a comprehensive review, go to Baka Laureate.

We are getting introduced to three new characters in episode 4 of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai. The first one is the sister Takayama Maria. I love it when she retold the story of how Yozora tricked her to be the moderator of their club. She even got slapped twice for it and then blackmailed! On the other hand, Kodaka realized that he's been stalked and the stalker is Kusunoki Yukimura. He (who looks and sounds like a trap) wants to learn to become a strong man like Kodaka. Yozora saw this as an opportunity to get new member and convinced him to sign up. The last character is Shiguma Rika who is a masochist that fap to the thoughts of getting gang raped. Kodaka sort of saved her and now she's devoted to him. Slowly but surely the harem is starting to build around him.
p/s: Yozora tough exterior is crumbling. She obviously wants Kodaka to realize who she is soon, before Rika raped him.


Since I am in no mood to write episodic review, I'm going to continue with Hunter X Hunter episode 5. The applicants were attacked by all sorts of bizarre creatures: giant turtle with strawberry covered shell, claymore mushrooms, frog-in-waiting, ruse raven, etc. But the greatest danger of all comes from Hisoka. Leorio and Kurapika were unfortunate enough to cross his path. If even Gon is having trouble with him than you know he's something else. Turned out Hisoka is a judge. Coolness.

I think Hisako just wants Leorio's ass. I am sure I can find fanfics that ship these two >_>

I must be retarded for I am actually looking forward to watch episode 4 of Mashiro-Iro Symphony. Airi told the truth to them when they saw her at the supermarket. She's living alone and is dead broke but she has to keep up with appearances at school since everyone knew her as the principal's daughter. They ended up having dinner at her house and so Airi's relationship with everyone improves. Ah fuck... I like her less now. I want the old feisty Airi back!

Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle episode 5: Kaito's childhood friend has set up a test especially for him, to see his true ability now that he has made a contract with Orpheus. That friend of his is the head of Japan POG while that principal is actually Kaito's guardian. The puzzles that he, Gamon and Nonoha have to solve are his favorites. He knew something is up especially when the last puzzle is the same kind of puzzle that killed both of his parent. Kaito broke down then. Because of this his brain is rejecting puzzle. Unless he overcome this, he won't be able to solve any more puzzle.

Episode 5 of Beelzebub: Oga received a Zebul Spell, a symbol of his contract with that demon child. The mark will grow as Beel get closer to Oga. To relieve his duty as the parent, Oga decided to stop fighting. As if. On the other hand, Himekawa is aiming Hilda as his next target in order to get to Oga. Even Furuichi is caught. Big mistake for that just pissed Oga and the Zebul Spell is reacting to his power. Himekawa is defeated oh so easily.

this fanart makes Beelzebub looks like Kimi to Boku

Blood-C episode 8: Tokizane is all lovey-dovey with Saya. I thought it was weird that he is so calm about it. He even take the opportunity to confess his feelings for Saya. I mean, what the fuck, can't you see the situation she's in right now? Jeebus. But yeah Saya falls for it and tells him everything. The power of love? Then the mysterious dog appeared and asked Saya what she think would happened if she break the promise. Hmm, now I think that the dog might be Tokizane. Too bad he doesn't had a b0nar when he sees Saya naked. That would confirmed my suspicion. The voice is the same though. Anyhoo, Saya goes to school after three days of closer and finds an Elder Bairn waiting for her. Yep, it kills her classmates one after the other. It was pretty gruesome.

you couldn't wait for a better time to confess? Jeebus

Episode 9 of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni! starts with Minami kissing Yoshi and claimed that it wasn't a joke. Himeji witnessed the kiss and realized that Minami too is in love with Yoshi and thus made her her rival. This transpired because of the love message Yoshi sent in the last episode. Of course Yoshi is oblivious to either Minami or Himeji's feelings. I am all for Minami so I really am curious who would he choose. Probably Hideyoshi lol

I promised Bass that I will read Eyeshield 21. I don't even know why did I promise that in the first place but well, a promise is a promise so here goes nothing... Chapter 1: I didn't even get the protagonist name but he's quick on his foot and is agile. He volunteered to be the team manager for the American football club to impress a girl of his dream. There are only 2 active members (excluding him) in the club though. While he was running away from the bullies, his 'actions' were observed by another guy who was interested in him because of his abilities. Turned out this guy is in that club as well (and is the captain) and will recruit Sena (that's the protagonist name btw) by hook or by crook. How Sena get the name Eyeshield 21? Because Hiruma said so. Heh I like Hiruma already.


Might as well read Chapter 2 of Eyeshield 21. Sena went to his first training (more like forced by Hiruma) and he set the fastest time, even beat the school records for the 40-yards dash. Hiruma wasn't surprised but hell this is getting interesting even more so when Hiruma is determined to join the Spring tournament that will take place the day after. With only 3 members? Can they do it?

Episode 23 of Ao no Exorcist almost makes me come in my pantsu. I love it for obvious reasons ^__^

Wednesday, September 28

I didn't know Minami grew up in Germany. Episode 8 of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni is a flashback of a year ago when she first enrolled in that school. That was the first time she met Yuuji and the others too (except the pink haired girl whose name I completely forgotten, possibly on purpose). The best introduction was obviously from Tsuchiya Kouta - nothing in particular XD. Minami had trouble adapting since she wasn't good with Japanese at that time. She didn't actually left a good first impression either. Everyone else avoided her except for Yoshii who actually put an effort to be her friend. No wonder she fell for him.

Tsuchiya Kouta is poster worthy

In episode 8 of Blood-C, Saya met the talking dog again and he revealed that he grants wish for the customers who came to his shop. This makes me even more convinced that he's Fumito, the shop owner of that place Saya and his father frequent. Saya has problem remembering to whom did she promised to save everyone and the dog will help her remember. The next day she had to fight another Elder Bairns who sorta revealed that Tokayashi was telling lies, to hide the truth from Saya. She eventually defeated the Elder Bairns and who but Tokizane appeared while she was drench in blood.

Episode 24 of Ao no Exorcist. Awesome setup for the ending next week :D

LOL Dalian is into BL and yaoi too. This was revealed in episode 4 of Dantalian no Shoka. Ah damn now I can't hate her. Hugh was investigating a writer name Lenny Lents who wrote to his grandfather asking for help. According to him, he was imprisonment by a bizarre book. He was right. An avid fan of his locked he and his lover and kill them alternately in exchange of their soul to each other. She wanted the perfect ending for the trilogy but never satisfied with what Lenny have written. I never get that mad watching an anime. When she killed them alternately I want to fucking throttle her throat and then torture her to death. That's the most cruel thing I have ever seen in anime to date. Jeebus.

Check out Boku Ha Tomodachi Ga Sukunai (OVA). I heard it was good based on Glo's review but the OVA kinda fall a bit short for me.

Chapter 466 of Bleach. Another chapter of good guy beating the bad guy.

Friday, September 30

Episode 4.5 of Ikoku Meiro no Croisee: Claude is a really skeptical person and has no appreciation for arts. He doesn’t even like the Bohemian just because, according to him, they play music all day and “extort” money from people. The Bohemian in question is a gypsy woman who plays Japanese songs on her guitar. She is invited for a recital at Alice’s house and obviously Yune is invited as well so that she can sing to the songs. Camille being a bitch about the gypsy’s grandparent not being together even though they loved each other. Jeebus she’s trying my patience. I hope Claude will never pick her even in the next life time.

Boku, Otaryman is an OVA dedicated to otaku every where. At least that's what I think when I watched it.

It has been a while. Blood-C episode 6: Holy fuck, Nene is dead! She was beheaded by the centipede monster. Then it was Nono's turn. She was taken by a shadow monster or something. Saya was present at both scenes. Nene ad Nono weren't the only casualties though. People were killed like they were flies. This show would have been awesome if they didn't fucking censored it!

The final episode of No. 6. I was totally biased when I watched this and thus I see everything in tinted glasses including the absurdity of the whole conclusion.

Dantalian no Shoka episode 3: Huey and Dalian were invited to Camilla's villa (I like her straightaway) for tea. She then told them about the Book of Wisdom, another phantom book that has fallen in the hands of small children. They became so brilliant and evil at the same time. They let Huey and Dalian took the book though and burned it. That's that. The other half of the episode is about a carnivorous plant that bloom once in 13 years. It's petal bait looks like a book thus it's name "Queen of the Night". Dalian is rude to everyone I guess but Camilla knows how to deal with it.

Episode 21 of Ao no Exorcist makes me disappointed in Yukio. I know he's better than that. Fuck that old fuck.

As for Bleach, who would have thought that I wanna make babies with Renji? Yep, he's that fucking badass in chapter 465. I hardly believe it myself.

Ikoku Meiro no Croisée episode 7: Claude isn't happy when Yune gives her bread to the kid who stole the candlestick. He practically snaps at her and calls her childish. Bad timing though because Yune is not feeling too well. Further more, Alice put this idea that if they haven't kiss each other on the cheek, that means s/he is not accepting you yet. She fainted and causes Claude to panic thinking it was his fault. He even swallows his pride and go to Alice for help. Awww....

highlight of the episode? lol

I'm not looking forward to episode 8 of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée because it's about Camille and Claude. Why can't Yune and Claude happen? He only need to wait a few years till she matured! Gah! But anyway, Alice invited Yune to a tea party and Claude tags along. There he meets with his old flame Camille. I can see Claude is still affected by her which means he must still have feelings for her. But Camille is a logical person knowing how different their social status are. She said that as if to accuse Claude for being so childish to take offense that she can't be with him. That makes me mad actually. Though in appearance she's perfect, she has a rotten personality. I'm glad that Yune triumph over her.

They are still having that tea party in episode 9 of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée. Most of the episode however is dedicated to Claude and Camille childhood days. I don't get it. Why does this show is suddenly about Camille and Claude? I am not jumping on the bandwagon dammit so stop forcing it down my throat!

that mouth... I wanna kissu!

Thank goodness there's no more reminiscing shit with Camille in episode 10 of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée. Claude is away on a business deal. He and his late father Jean weren't close and that's why he doesn't like it when people compares his works with his father. While he's away, Oscar, Yune and Alice have a little fun at the store when Oscar brings out the slide projector. They end up invite the whole Galery to join in on the fun too.

Yune asks permission to go to the Grand Magasin in episode 11 of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée but Claude says no. Grand Magasin is the enemy of the Gallery after all. Claude has been grumpy ever since that Camille episode but it seems like there is other reason why he's all mad and it has something to do with his dad. To make up to Yune, Claude brings her to a picnic in the park. Unexpectedly Yune broke down and for the first time since she's been to Paris, she tells Claude about her Shione sister. Shione has blue eyes and Japan does not like anything/anyone different so she was outcast. She was unhappy and as time went by turned sickly and blind. This episode also shows Claude insecurities. I don't think he will have it easy if one day Yune decides to leave.

The last and final episode of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée. Oh boy, Claude is really terribad at hinding his emotions. He pushes away people in order not to hurt himself. This is way too familiar for me to find comfort. I have never seen him that mad before, at Yune nonetheless. He told her to get out "but stay in the Gallery". Yune did get out to follow Yannick-san's cat and Claude thought she has ran away. Claude managed to find her though on the roof. Yune almost fell and that reminded Claude at the accident at Grand Magasin that took his father's life. All hope is not lost yet then since it seems like Claude do care a lot about Yune. It was a heart-felt and warm ending for this show. I give this show 8.6/10 :)

the embarrassed face of Claude is so moe :3

Nyanpire the Animation episode 10: Meowsamune thought that Nyanpire has some incurable disease and about to die when in fact he's just choking from a strawberry hull. So Meowsamune bought Nyanpire all sorts of health products which he forced Nyanpire to consume. But of course Nyantenshi came along and pointed out the fact that Nyanpire is immortal. Heh win.

Episode 11 of Nyanpire the Animation: It's the Halloween. While the other dressed up to the occasion, Nyantenshi went around threatening kids with sweets lol. As usual Meowsamune got the end of the stick with his ghostly costume.


The final episode of Nyanpire the Animation: Nyanpire just realized that he has eternal life and thus his friends will die before him. Since he didn't have a heart to see the death of his friends, he decided to follow the vampire that gave him immortality. But since he didn't know where to find him, "he" said that his place is still among his friends thus Nyanpire had a reunion with them who didn't even know what was going on.

Episode 5 of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée: It says that Japan has a group mentality where one person would like doing stuff that others do as well. This makes me remember what my friend who studied in Japan said. He said that they really do stay in group and even if the rest of the group are absent, s/he rather be alone than communicate with other groups. On the other hand, French are suspicious of people who are too friendly to strangers. lol the world we live in... because of that advice, Yune has become a cautious person and doesn't sure how to act as everything is opposite of how things are in Japan. Yune has to deal with her first theft. She runs after the boy but in turn gets lost in the gallery. Claude eventually found her and straightened the misunderstanding.

awww... marry me, Claude ♥

Nyanpire's owner brings home a new cat called Chachamaru in episode 5 of Nyanpire the Animation. Nyanpire thought he's getting thrown away but once his owner explained that he has to become Chachamaru's big brother, Nyanpire is more than ready to oblige. He doesn't expect to get bullied by Chachamaru though that's not really what happened. Nice twist lol.

Himeji forces Akihisa to wear girl's uniform in episode 4 of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni! He lost a game of Bullshit (yes, it does exist!) where Himeji 'accidentally' joins them after she takes Hideyoshi out. He and Yuuji are stripped until they only left with their undies. The second half of the episode is about Test Run of Summoned Being. Their summons get an upgrade in which they can now talk. They start by telling secrets of their masters thus havoc ensued.

among many other things, I'm sure ^_^

Blood-C episode 5: Unlike the previous four episodes, this time it started off with Saya fighting the Elder Bairns right away. Saya is totally overwhelmed by the monster at first but once she figured it out, she takes the monster out using her bare hands. Her head starts to get all fuzzy whats with the covenant thing and what not. It just so happened that the next day, she found out some of the story of the covenant from her homeroom teacher. She gets flashbacks (of previous Saya's experience) and collapsed. Just when I thought the suspense is over, a monster appeared out of the blue to attack her and Nene.
p/s: Saya shows signed of falling for Tokizune and that damn dog definitely has a role to play.

Thursday, August 11

I swear that the females dominate the male in Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!. In episode 5, Akihisa received a letter of blackmail. Naturally Akihisa is bothered by the letter. I lol'd when he said the sender of the letter must be in love with the two girls in their class: Himeji and Hideyoshi. Minami quickly fetched a metal bat to clobber him with lmao. At last both he and Yuuji (who is going to get married to Shouko soon) seek advice from Voyeur. Then off they go to Mizuki plain for a school trip and decided to catch the culprit during bath time which mean they are going to peep at the girls' bath. It wasn't easy as it sounds though as the teachers interfered. They still can't find the girl who threatened them which mean this will be continued in episode 6.

best quote =D

Dantalian no Shoka episode 2: Huey is doing an appraisal for Miss Lilburn's books. Huey is concerns that she lives out in the mountain all by herself. It seems like she's cursed by a book not to leave that house. Those who tried have been mysteriously murdered. Truth is, there's no cursed book, only cursed family. The females in Lilburn family all has natural tendency for murder and so the male created a golem to cover up the evidence. This time Huey read from two tablets of Phantom Books to destroy the golem. Good episode. Shit, this show is consistent.
p/s: Huey's right arm can no longer be used properly?

why, thank you :)

Episode 2 of Double J: Toba is preserving manga. Apparently manga has been around since ancient time and known and Chouju-giga. Toba tried to bring it back to modern time by tweaking it a bit. It was surprisingly funny or maybe I'm just in a good mood today lol

If you watched it, maybe you'll see why this is funny

Alice hasn't given up on Yune yet. She has once again invited Yune in episode 6 of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée. This time, for a photograph. Although I don't like Alice, I love it when she's around Claude. His reactions are always so fun to watch. But this episode is about crinoline, the undergarment that hold the shape of skirt. Yune tried wearing one and she's so moe in it. Crinoline is like a birdcage according to Yune and Camille, though seems elitist, obviously not happy with what she has become. She definitely wants freedom. I have a feeling that she might ends up with Claude one day... but I want ClaudexYune to happen! *pouts* lol lolicon me.

First day of fasting.

Uta no Prince-sama ~Maji Love 1000%~ episode 2: The guy that Haruka saw in the last episode is Hayato's twin brother, Ichinose Tokiya. They have completely opposite personality. Meh, so cliche. Anyway, the class starts and they were told that they have to pair for the graduation performance. A pair of idol and composer. There's an important rule though: no romance. Meh, again... so fucking cliche. Haruka was asked to play a piano but she can't read music sheet so obviously people start bad-mouthing her. She has to pair up with Ittoki Otoya for an assignment and feels like a burden. Fuck, I feel like puking. Gah! It was so fucking predictable. At least watching Otoya asking for guidance is entertaining. In the end, they both composed a great song which Ichinose is not too happy about for some reason.

Episode 2 of Blood-C: I wonder who is it at the beginning, asking all those questions. It's must be either one of her male classmate. I suspect Tokizane. Hmm, this ought to be interesting. Even more so when there's apparently love triangle going on between clueless Saya, Tomofusa and Tokizane. Also, apparently the vampire in this show is called Elden Bairn. I have no fucking idea what was it.

On to episode 3 of Blood-C. Yes, I planned to catch up to this show tonight. Tadayoshi, Saya's father definitely dotes on her and Saya herself loves his father very much. Saya is not adopted this time around then. Heh. Back to the episode, people in town starts to disappear and Saya suspects its the work of vampires. It was fucking eerie when the baker gets into the train. Saya could have saved him but she just watched? O_o Also, I begin to suspect that the mysterious dude is actually Fumito =\

(c) Pixiv ID: 35995

I haven't talked about the OP of Blood-C but it seems like it is sang using three different languages: Japanese, English and France. After episode 4, as expected it grows on me. Not sure if it will be my favorite though. Anyhoo Saya is bothered with what the man-eater train said before it died: "honor the covenant". She shouldn't worry about that too much though. She should be worried about Tokizane who seems like he's in love with Saya all of a sudden. I feel sorry for Tomofusa. On a different note, Saya's opponents are getting stronger. More victims died in front of her as she became helpless. At least she got a hint though. The covenant = "Shrovetide". Whatever the fuck that is.

Saturday, August 6

Suddenly feels like reading some manga. I choose Prunus Girl, just because I'm in a mood for some trap and gender bender. On to chapter 17: Aikawa decides to wear Maki's boy uniform but everyone is against it, especially the boys lol. In chapter 18, the class president once again confessed her love towards Maki. She's so straightforward, even telling Maki she expected him to fill her sexual needs lol. Aikawa and Maki were also summoned to the student council where they'll meet Chris, the president of the student council. He wants them both to join the student council in chapter 19. They also met the vice-president who is so much better looking than any of the guys so far.

First Impression: Blood-C

I was looking forward to this one but when I saw people's general reaction to this show, I started to have doubt. Can a show that promised blood and perhaps gore be that bad? Even more so when the protagonist is a smexy female with katana as weapon. That got me curious. What has gone wrong? Isn't this one produced by Producion I.G and is a collaboration with Clamp? Did they screw up? There's only one way to found out. So here I am, several weeks later, checking out the first episode of Blood-C. Let see if it's true what they said about this show or this show is just underrated for whatever reason. But being that I have a fetish for blood, I might probably be biased in the end ^^"

(c) Pixiv ID: 89556

Kisaragi Saya is the female protagonist that I talked about earlier. The fact that she wears a megane definitely helps me liking her right away. She's a shrine maiden and is a klutz who seems to be cheerful all the time. You wouldn't expect that from a vampire slasher now, do you? The Saya from Blood+ is all emo and shit.

Halfway through the episode, I get it why people are disappointed with Blood-C. It was all cutesy and smiley and stuff like that though some of the dudes in her class are pretty suspicious. I can't wait to see what roles are they playing. Are they the bad guys or the good guys? I am not that naive to believe that the questions will be answered straight away but I do hope that the other half of this episode will be gory and bloody, just like I like it.

It definitely gets more entertaining though as we see her performing her 'duty'. The pace of this show suddenly becomes perfect as it sets up the mood for the end. I was biting my nails in anticipation as Saya stands in thatt pool of water with seemingly a stone statue as her opponent. That was scary lol.

I can definitely see where does Clamp comes in, in term of production. The character designs definitely reminds me of XXXholic. The fact that the director, Tsutomu Mizushima is also the director for that show definitely gives off the same vibes. These are good in my book though because it is something that I am familiar with, and makes me hoping that this will be as good as XXXholic if not better. However, I can see why this might turned people off too.

Like I said, I'm pretty biased with things that I like. Blood-C is definitely my kind of thing and I am so going to watch this, among 50 other shows that I am watching. Orz
