Aku no Hana

It has been a while I got this excited for an anime. In fact, I can't remember the last anime that got me all worked out like this. Needless to say, I think Aku no Hana is a very awesome anime. I definitely recommended it to everyone.

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.

Goodbye 2012 and Hallo 2013

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.

Light Writings: Love II

I need an outlet to express how I feel nowadays. To be honest, things are going too good for me at the moment to the point that I am sort of living in fear for I do not want these extremely good feelings, and the love I have for him to end. If all these are gone tomorrow, there is a big probability that I might lose sanity.

Light Writings: Crush II

Welp, looks like we are having this conversation again after so many years. Well 2 years and 3 months to be exact. The last time I wrote about my crush, I was in a different state of mind where I know it can be nothing more than just that, a crush.

Diary of a tard: Week 2, September 2013

Sunday, September 15

Free! episode 10: I get to see Rin as a kid, having fun with them three boys. So that's good. Other than that it was another boring episode of Rei trying to figure out what the hell happened and feel left out with all the talks about Rin. At the end, he went to Rin school to talk to him personally. Can't wait to see what they are going to talk about, with Rei being Rei and Rin being Rin.

badass looking Rin is badass

Episode 6 of Genshiken Nidaime: First of all, I really want to read the Sasa x Mada manga that Ogiue make. Anyway, Suzy adviced Ogiue to show it to Haru so he won't feel alone. It kinda backfired but it;s all good. Then some dude from leadership club tried to make a move on Hato. Thank goodness Yashitake brought her sister along (who dressed up as a boy) and get Yajima hopeful for a moment. She then brought them to her house with a mission. She wanted to see Hato naked but bad luck because Yajima and her sister end up seeing Hato's hot dog. I am envious. Oh and dafuq is wrong with Kuchiki-san? LOL

Hachiken isn't happy with his test score even though he's on top of the class in episode 4 of Gin no Saji. But that was quickly forgotten when he found a stone oven when he's cleaning the campus. No one has ever taste a pizza so he ended up making pizza for everyone with the help of everyone of course. This episode sure makes me wanna bake some pizza myself. It's a warmth episode for sure.

Love Lab episode 5: They went through with their plan to help out the girl who asked them about what gift should she get her crush. Riko took all the blame but once everyone found out, she was done for. Ended up she studied for her English and soon got good grades for it. Nothing much going on in this episode except that towards the end, they asked Riko how to make boys fall for you.

For some reason I'm watching Korra episode 6. Yes, I redownload that shit because everyone is so hype about season 2. I thought I should try and watch it again so I picked it up where I left it a year  ago. Korra team versus Tahno team in the final and Tahno team won because they cheated. Before that, Aman has threatened to do something nasty if they continue with the tournament. Because they ignored his threat, he then made a grand entrance and easily took away Tahno's bending. Korra and Lin tried to stop him but failed. Ok, it wasn't bad of an episode. I just need to put aside my dislike for Korra in order to enjoy the show, I guess.

Holy shit. Shingeki no Kyojin episode 18: The female Titan is still chasing Eren and for some reason, even though many lives were lost, the mission still continue and Commander Erwin brought them to the Forest of the Giant Trees. They thought they could have the upperhand because of the tall trees but damn it the female titan is merciless, killing them soldiers like they were made of match stick. Armin and I feel like Levi and Commander Erwin have something up their sleeves. They are sacrificing a lot of lives though and I am not happy with that =\

delicious

I just need to find out what happened next in episode 19 of Shingeki no Kyojin: I didn't expect a flash back though. It seems like in order for Eren to transform into a Kyojin, he needs to self-inflict pain and a clear goal otherwise it won't happen. This flash back came about because Eren wanted to transform when he saw his comrades getting killed one by one by the female Kyojin. But the other comrades on his team were determined to follow Levi's order which is to go forward regardless. Since they have faith in him, Eren chose to have faith in them too. Apparently, Levi and Commander Erwin have a plan. They finally managed to secure the female Kyojin and that was the plan since the beginning. Erwin seems unsympathetic about the amount of lives that are lost. I don't like this guy.

Looks like I'm marathoning Shingeki no Kyojin. On to episode 20! oh shit. They caught the female Kyojin but she's calling in the other Kyojin to eat her up while she ran away. Now she's killing Eren's troop one by one. This is fucked up. Where's Levi?

Well, the troops are all dead except for Levi and Eren in episode 21 of Shingeki no Kyojin. Needless to say, this pissed me off greatly. And it pissed Eren too which made him transform into a Kyojin. I just wished he would fucking kill the female Kyojin without having to talk to himself. He didn't and so the female Kyojin defeated his Kyojin and swallowed him whole. Now she's taking him somewhere. The only soldiers following her are Levi and Mikasa. For their skills, I say that's plenty. Have I said how disappointed I am with this episode? Urgh...

Shingeki no Kyojin episode 22: Mikasa and Levi managed to save Eren and holy fuck Levi is made of pure winsome. I jizzed in my pantsu watching him fight. Anyway, once they retrieved Eren, they went home. They just let the female Kyojin go. Two stupid fucks defied an order and caused some of the bodies to be abandoned including Petra. As they came back, they were heavily critisized because of the number of death and the failed mission. Erwin was called in to the capital and it was decided that Eren will be handed over to them from now on.

Love Lab episode 4: Sayo suspected that Riko is bluffing about being the Sniper of Love, a title that was given by the other three members of the student council. Riko tried to come clean but she isn't capable of letting anyone down so she just go with the flow. Sayo tried to uncover the truth until Suzu dramatically ended it. On the other hand, they were trying to figure the solution for the student who asked them with love related question and how to convey the answer to that student.

The trainees have to choose whether to go to Recon Corp, Military Police or Garrison in episode 16 of Shingeki no Kyojin. Everyone who's left join the Recon Corp except for Annie. They still can't figure out who kill the titans though and I am still having doubts about Smith. At the end of the episode, they all set out to proceed with their plan to Eren's basement where supposedly all the answers to Titan are.

The story took an unexpected turn in episode 4 of Brothers Conflict. Tsubaki didn't get the role that he auditioned for.  The role went to Azusa. Naturally Chii butt in and then all of a sudden Tsubaki is kissing her! Dafuq I'm pissed.

I want my fucking twincest!
I thoroughly enjoyed Genshiken Nidaime episode 4. I get to see Ogiue cosplaying as Azusa from K-ON and they brought back memories of Comic Festival. I first learned about CF when I watched Genshiken first season. Shit was never the same after that. Anyway, Ogiue managed to complete her manga thanks to the guys helping out. Her manga and doujinshi received some very good responds. Too bad she was down with a fever. I seriously wanna see the romance between her and Sasahara. Oh, and if I wasn't a fan of Sue before, after this episode, I sure am :)

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~

First Impression: Love Lab

Ah, it says romance as one of it's genre. I see no guy in the character list which mean this is going to be a shoujo-ai anime. Not really my thing and I'm sure after this episode, I will drop this. Or maybe it's so good that it can turn me into a yuri fan. Who knows right?

(c) Hao
The animation is definitely one of the strongest point for this show. The character designs especially are very appealing. When they revealed Riko, she was quick to get my attention because the studio managed to capture her personality when they created her. Her clothes, hair and the way she strutted around school, it was flawless. Same goes when it comes to the comedic part of the show; the chibi-fied characters and their facial expressions were on the spot.

This is one of those anime that is character-driven. Lucky for us the studio managed to create two female protagonists without one character out-balance the other. Though the relationship formed between them is somewhat forceful in the plot, the interaction and the chemistry between them weren't so that it becomes comedy seamlessly.

And since we talked about plot, lets get into it right away. Riko is the 'tomboy' and Maki is the 'damsel'. Both are admired by the students. One thing led to another and suddenly Riko has to teach Maki about love. Sounds cliche but it wasn't. I thought it was fresh (maybe because I have never seen any shoujo-ai anime). Most importantly, it wasn't pretentious which is a good thing otherwise I would have hated it.

There's this part where Riko's male friends said that she is just like one of the guys so that they don't have to worry about falling for her because it won't happen. Well, during my school years, I experienced just that. To be honest, I was worried. But then, after high school is over, the guys kinda wanna date me. This included the guys I met during college years. All of my four exs were my best friends. I have no freaking idea what happened... they might have a sudden revelation that I'm awesome as fuck but yeah... what I'm trying to say is, Riko actually still has hope to have a heterosexual relationship.

It's not often (more like, never) that I laughed my ass off watching two females of who I know going to have feelings for each other. Love Lab managed to do so which is somehow a feat in it's own right.

What I'm going to say is, I'm glad that I checked this out. Though it didn't turn me into a yuri fan (yet), it does makes me wanna see more of the series. I enjoyed the comedy a lot. Recommended!
