Episode 3 of Karneval: Nai got a check up and declared by the doctor that he is in fact is not human. Anyhoo, during his treatment, he dreamed of Karoku who told him to leave Gareki if he wants him safe and well which Nai did once he wake up. But meh, like Gareki would let that happened. It does seems like Karoku is picking up a fight with Gareki after all. Towards the end of the episode, they went to Niji forest where Nai supposedly live. They were attacked and Gareki was taken away. It was obvious that they targeted him since the beginning, whoever THEY are.

Someone is indeed targeting both Maou and Emi. She got a threatening call in episode 3 of Hataraku Maou-sama! That person is still unknown at this point in time though. On different note, Maou has a date with Chiho who told him about the voices she heard that warned her about the incoming "earthquake". Emi and Asiel stalked them and somehow caught in the earthquake as well. Those earthquake is actually some magic field or something. That's how Maou got his demon look back. Emi was tempted to finish him off but when Maou said he's saving people, Emi was pretty much in shock. Well yeah, I don't blame her. It is rather suspicious at how nice Maou is given that he's the Lord Satan and all... by the way, he's a fan on Uniqlo LOL

suspicious indeed

Happy birthday Jebat.

Red Data Girl episode 5: Dorama between Miyuki and Izumiko again. But before that, Sadao and his twin dead brother settled the shit with Takayanagi. I feel sorry for that bastard but he deserved it. Anyhoo, Miyuki's dad become a part-time lecturer at the school which relieved Miyuki from his duty. Miyuki being a tsundere decided not to have anything to do with Izumiko but once he learned where she was towards the end of the episode, he came running. Himegami showed up and warned Miyuki not to let her appear again otherwise humanity will go extinct and she will be the cause for that. There is certainly romance in the air between these two protagonists. I love Miyuki's last words: "Suzuhara... your lips are so red."

Hataraku Maou-sama episode 2: Emi is living the same kind of life as Maou. She has jobs and friends to get by. Thank goodness that she didn't turn out to be annoying bitch. In fact she gives more punch to the show. She's conflicted with her job as Hero to slain and kill Maou but since she has no one in this world, these two become somewhat friends. I LOL'd when she first came to Maou's house, sniffing and such. Oh by the way, looks like there are other people who knew of their real identity. Someone tried to snipe both Emi and Maou and those earthquake... well, they aren't really earthquake and seems like they are targeting the people around Maou, starting with Chiho, his mate from MgRonald. Haha

Episode 2 of Shingeki no Kyojin: The Titans have breached the two walls. So all the humans took refuge in the third wall. 10,000 people were eaten. Eren changed. He's determined as fuck to kill the Titans now. I can't blame him. I feel the same way as he does. Otherwise, might as well just called yourself a livestock instead of a person. He, Armin and Misaka enrolled to the army the next year and thus their training begins.

Red Data Girl episode 4:We met Izumiko's room mate and her twin brother. I like them almost instantly. We also met the asshole Takayanagi who is a sorcerer and used homunculus to attack Izumiko. Thank goodness Sagara is around. Takayanagi even lured Izumiko and the others to open a website that he put a deadly curse on, which injured Mayura. So now Sagara and Manatsu, together with Masumi are going to deal with Takayanagi for vengeance.

I cried alone most of the time because I don't want to be vulnerable. But the truth is everyone want someone who they can cling to and be consoled. Uguuu~ www

First Impression: Hataraku Maou-sama!

In the preview, I already put this show in my anishit list. The kind of comedy portrayed in the synopsis is never really what I look for in anime.  So I'm gonna watch this with that knowledge in mind and perhaps I will be biased towards this shit. I do hope that they managed to prove me wrong though just so that I can feel that joy of watching anime with good honest humor.

And guess what, it is rare that an animu can proved me wrong. This show however, did it. The start of the first episode already grabbed my attention with the blood and killing and what not. Then comes the characters who look so badass and then so normal few minutes later but the transition was smooth and was explained in quite satisfactory details that it suddenly made sense.

Maou and his servant Ashiya are demons. Maou is the Lord Satan. They were forced to retreat by Hero Emi and swear to seek revenge. When Maou opened the portal, it somewhat brought them to Japan and their badass personas were gone, replaced by human-like form. Well at least Maou looks like a delicious shouta so you won't hear me complaining about that XD

I like the fact that the show showed how they tried to get used to this world. The foreign language made me LOL and from then on, it was good all over.

Having said that, I'm not sure about Hero Emi just yet. I hope she won't ruined this show too much.

I am glad I decided to check out all the anime before dismissing it. It's when you enjoy a show that you have no hopes or expectations for that made all the difference.

This show is getting an upgrade. It is no longer in the anishit list.
