Haru was in shocked after he lost to Rin in episode 8 of Free. He keeps wondering why the hell is he feeling so crappy if he didn't care about winning etc. Hmm, another dorama. Anyway, none of them can go into the final but Gou secretly registered them for the relay the next day. They were worried that Haru doesn't wanna enter the relay but since he's all fired up now, it's not a problem. Obviously this doesn't sits well with Rin since he thought he won't be swimming with Haru ever again.

Free episode 9: Haru finally found a reason for swimming. It's no longer just because he wanted to. It's because he wants to swim with his friends. It was such a pussy revelation, I am hardly impressed. On the other hand, my heart reaches out for Rin. When he reminiscing about their relay as friends/kids, I feel so bad for him. In the end, he decided to join his swimming team relay as well and Haru quickly learned about the news. More dorama in future episodes for sure.

I'd wife him so hard

Episode 5 of Blood Lad: The problem with this show is, it evolves around Fuyumi and I just want that bitch to die. Obviously I can't enjoy watching Blood Lad as long as she's around. Anyway, Staz met his brother, Vlad d. Braz, and got his power back. Back in the demon world, Wolf boy had to fight Akim, the artificial monster Franken created in order to save Fuyumi. It was all meh. Having said that, I see incest potential between Staz and Vlad and I like it!

The Crowds saved the tragedy from happening in episode 4 of Gatchaman Crowds. Jui quickly confronted the Alien (his gatchaman is awesome btw) but couldn't take him on his own. He did learned that the Alien has a notebook too which mean he is somewhat a Gatchaman of some sort. Upon hearing this, D-chan and Pai were both looking damn serious and shit. Apparently, they know the Alien who has been destroying planets after planets. It is also revealed that Rui got his power from the Alien and with a little push, he's ready to make the world accelerate. Whatever that means.

Free episode 5: They went to some island to train for the tournament. Looks like Mako has some issues with the sea but he seems up to it. Anyhoo, Rei felt like he's dragging everyone down so he decided to practice on his own only to be caught in a storm. Mako to the rescue! It was a meh episode in my opinion. The only highlight is when Rin showed some concern when he found out that they are training out at sea. Awww...

Instead of seeing his brother, Staz met with Liz, his younger sister instead in episode 4 of Blood Lad. There's a reason why Staz is so afraid, or seemingly so, of his brother. Apparently he wanted to kill Staz, or at least sealed his power for some unknown reason. I'm sure Staz just misunderstood him and that's why he ran away from home. Btw, it looks like Liz is smitten with Staz. Meanwhile at demon world, Fujiko (can't be bothered if I get her name right), is disappearing so Wolf brought her to meet Dr. Franken.

Episode 5 of Brothers Conflict: This episode focus on Natsumi and Subaru relationship. For some reason these two can't get along. It does seems like Natsumi is pretty strict with Subaru. Maybe he was a basketball player too but something happened and now he wanted Subaru to take on what he failed to do. I dunno. The romance with Chii is getting ridiculous as well. Subaru has somewhat confessed and Chii is confused as fuck. That lucky bitch.

Gatchaman Crowd episode 3: Mess is no longer a threat thanks to whatever Hajime did in the last episode. It kinda make the Gatchaman effort all these time to rescue the mankind, kind of a waste. And then there's the trap that developed GALAX. I don't think he's a bad guy. He wants a better world but maybe his method might need some improvisation. Anyway, there's some accident at the end of the episode and he decided to use the Crowds. Whatever that is.

hawt trap is hawt

First Impression: Gatchaman Crowds

I didn't give this show any attention until my colleague starts spazzing (and drew fanarts overnight) about it. He said it was good and funny. It sounds alright so yeah lets check this out. I do hope it is as good as people say it is. After all, it takes a lot for me to actually go loco for a mecha anime.

And I didn't go loco (well, not completely anyway) for the Gatchaman but I do like the characters in this show, especially Hajime which is quite surprisingly given the fact that I usually ended up disliking characters like her.

Gatchaman is about a bunch of people who are selected by JJ, the Gatchaman God of some sort. They are given a planner that represent their soul and they would use it to change to Gatchaman mode and save the innocent people from MESS. Hajime is the newbie and she's about to throw the balance out the window. At least from the inside.

This show is surprisingly addicting and greatly entertaining. I am certainly looking forward to see the rest of the Gatchaman suits. Having said that, Hajime's Gatchaman suit is definitely my least favorite. That much, I can tell already.

Love Lab episode 2: The introduction of the Student Council's secretary, treasurer and the president. The secretary is a big klutz which I found kinda cute while the treasurer and the president are somewhat the villain of this show. Riko is still the most normal character in the show though.

Anyone else think Chii is a slut? Watching episode 3 of Brothers Conflict really pissed me off. Anyway, they have introduced all 13 brothers. And guess what, the twins are actually triplet! But looks like the focus has shifted back to Subaru and Chii. It's their parent's wedding by the way and I still cannot brain how the fuck a woman that young can have 13 sons  with the oldest looks like the same age as her. Logic down the drain...

Maki fell sick in episode 3 of Love Lab. So Riko asked Sayo to join the Student Council again. She didn't know that Eno has a cunning plan on her own in order to regain her position as President. She changed her mind though but the paperwork was fucked up and so there are commotion during the meeting. If it wasn't for Sayo and Riko, both Eno and Maki would have get the end of the stick. So now that the issue has been solved, Eno and Sayo joined the Student Council again with Riko as the latest member.

So dere

Episode 4 of Free! focused on Rei learning to swim. He has a hard time learning until towards the end when he tried the butterfly stroke and voila! I think KyoAni was trying too hard with this episode especially when they tried out various swimsuit on the boys. I should like it but somehow I don't. Something must be wrong with me. Anyhoo, Rin accidentally met Haru during the shopping and told him that he needs Haru to take swimming seriously otherwise, even if he wins, he can't move on. Awww these two are so in love with each other...

the uke and the seme ^___^

I am still recovering from my fever. When night comes, it's getting worse which mean I'm sorta bed ridden and so it's as good time as any to watch Gatchaman Crowd episode 2. Instead of getting rid of the MESS, Hajime let it go. Her senpai is obviously more than mad at her but she totally has different idea than the rest of the Gatchaman. She's definitely not one to play by the rules. The second time they fight, Hajime managed to get friendly with the MESS and so it returned everything that it took. Towards the end of the episode, they showed two villains. One of them is the guy behind GALAX. Ah, plot twist already.

I feel like dropping Blood Lad every time I watched it. The urge to kill Fuyumi is too overwhelming. Anyway, in episode 3, Staz seeked Wolf to get the book of resurrection. They settled it through boxing. If Staz wins, he gets the book. If he lost, Wolf gets Fuyumi. Their match was interrupted though by Bel and Staz gets the book anyway. Unfortunately no one can decipher it so Staz thought of going straight to the writer who happened to be his brother. He doesn't look very thrill.

Genshiken Nidaime episode 3 focused on Madarame and his crush on Saki. Everyone knows about it which surprised Madarame but he still acts as if he doesn't understand what they are saying LOL obvious shit is obvious Madarame. Then the story switched to Hato. It's the first time I get to see Hato being himself, a guy, but his conscious is always with him, putting BL ideas in his head. It looks like he's banking on Hato x Mada but Madarame being such a straightforward guy didn't get the hint at all. I certainly enjoyed this episode heh

yesssssss~
