Zetman episode 2: Jin is a teenager, which mean Kouga and Konoha are too. They met again. Kouga still with his idealistic heroism while Jin pretty much just do what he wants. They met a fire Player who caused arson all around town. Kouga was determined to catch him but he lacks everything. Jin helped him out (though much to Kouga's chagrin) and became Zetman (without any eye witnesses of course). He killed the Player but suffered from cardiac arrest. Kouga's grandfather happened to be the old man that has been looking for Zet all these years. Once he found out who Jin really is, he sent someone to kill the Auntie and unleashed one of his failed experiment with his Aunt corpse (naked) in its hand. Fuck I hate that Kouga family already. I hate Konoha and pretty much all the bitches in the show.

In episode 10 of Yurumate 3D, Matsukichi dreamed of being burn at a stake. When he wakes up the nightmare continue with the three girls throwing snows at him in celebration of New Year. It wasn't a funny episode though I really want to see Kumi's imitation of dead/alive fish eyes.

Nazo no Kanojo X episode 4: For some reason Oka wants to be friend with Urabe. She sat with her during lunch and even shoving foods down Urabe throat herself. My corrupted mind keep telling me that Oka is a lesbian especially when she played with her lips using her fingers. Anyhoo, apparently she too has connection with Urabe through her drool but Urabe still refused to be friends with her. This doesn't stop Oka from trying though. I wonder what her real motive really is...

Mutta has arrived in Texas for the NASA family support program in episode 5 of Space Brothers. He was feeling like he can't compete to Hibito and to see his brother this way frustrates and disappoints Hibito greatly. It was touching to see Hibito always believing in his brother like that. If only Mutta has some self-confidence in himself. I kinda feel sorry for Hibito all of a sudden.

Kingdom episode 2: Don't asked why the fuck am I watching this show. I just feel like it so shut up. As expected, the kid who looks like Hyou is indeed the King and was impressed by Xin's skills. It's Xin's job to protect him though and that he did, from the man who killed Hyou and followed him to that hut. However, Ei Se's evil brother sent a fleet of army that surrounded them. They thought they are doomed but the girl wearing the owl costume volunteered to show them the way.

Episode 7 of Tsuritama: Haru ain't being himself after the incident. He didn't want to go fishing anymore, fearing the fact that he might endangered his friends' lives. Well, glad to know that he is remorseful for what he did in the last episode. They are also celebrating Natsuki's birthday by going fishing together. Natsuki obviously didn't have fun when he's dad is around. They even fought - his father wants him to be a pro at fishing but Natsuki refused to leave Enoshima because he feels obligated to take over the store. He even treated his sister with coldness (and smacked her too) when she started some dorama when the bracelet she made dropped into the ocean. This happened when a fishing boat, with the people in it were hypnotized, trying to run them over. Consequently Yuki had a fight for the first time with Natsuki as well. This episode left me confused to be honest.

Yurumate 3D episode 7: It's summer and there was only one ice-cream left so what did they do? They played stupid games to decide who gets the ice-cream. By the time Yurume won, the ice-cream was already melted. No wonder they have trouble with their entrance exam LOL

Yurumate 3D episode 8: They are nearing the winter so the weather is either cold or hot. They even make this as a game. Problem is no one wants to lose so they pretty much just said what they bet on: For example, Matsukichi wore a winter coat in the heat because he said its too cold.

Yurumate 3D episode 9: I have no idea what Yurume is thinking when she decided not to get out of the Kotatsu. So she answered the door by dragging the Kotatsu towards it but it got stuck in the doorway. They all still manage to have some fun with the situation though. I must say that I kinda envy that about them.

Episoed 8 of Tsuritama: Sakura went missing and thanks to Akira's quick thinking Natsuki managed to find her. Then Akira confronted Haru and his sister and they told him about one of their kind who resides in the ocean and controlling people's mind through water. Haru hopes Yuki can help him fishes him out of the water since Haru is not strong enough hence why he was easily controlled by him in episode 6. Akira told them both to go back to their planet and let Duck take care of the problem but what Akira doesn't know is, he himself is under survaillance and Duck think he has been compromise as an investigator. He's under heap of trouble. Duck has also sent a combat fleet to Enoshima, rightly so since there are more people/boats/ships that are being hypnotize by the alien under the sea. On the other hand, Yuki told his grandmother that he realized how lonely he was all these years but now he thinks it's alright to say it out loud because he feels like he can talk to Natsuki about anything and everything. Hmm, looks like shits are going down with 3 more episodes to go.

Akira decide to cut Natsuki's hair. Good call

Episode 2 of Nazo no Kanojo X: Tsubaki and Urabe has been dating for over a month yet they don't do what couple usually do. This frustrates Tsubaki so he tried all sort of things to get close to her but to no avail. At last, he asked her about her hobby and she showed him her special skill with scissor that she tucks on her underwear. She also told and showed him what kind of bond they had: the drools. She got naked and then gave Tsubaki her drools when she was stimulated. Obviously Tsubaki was stimulated as well. The bond goes both ways since Urabe can tell what Tsubaki was thinking just by tasting his drool. Heh, I like her very much!

Tamaki wanted to learn more about the Artifacts in episode 4 of Hiiro no Kakera so they went to Ohmi's place as he explained about the Artifacts. At the same time, Monado decided that it is time to start her plan. She went to the Artifact's place herself with her underlings and easily defeated the guardians and took the bangle. There is also a twist. That suspicious man wearing a megane, he seems to hold an important piece of a puzzle in this series.

Nazo no Kanojo X episode 3: Tsubaki found out that Ueno is actually going out with one of their classmate since first year. Tsubaki saw them kissing so this puts ideas into his head. He told this to Urabe who in turn gave him her drool which he should tasted before going to bed. He did as was told and dreamed of kissing Urabe. He wasn't too happy about it though so he confronted Urabe the next day but then they both agreed to wait until they understand each other's feelings. On the same day, Ogata confessed to Urabe. Urabe decided to give him the answer on the next day, much to Tsubaki's frustration. Anyhow, Urabe decided not to wear any pantsu on the next day. She gave Ogata her drool but no effect whatsoever. This made her rejected him. Tsubaki on the other hand have a massive nosebleed. I guess I see the bond that she's talking about but that doesn't make it any less gross.

Time for yaoi of the week. This time I picked up Love in the Afternoon since it is the afternoon where I am at. I have a feeling like I had read this yaoi before but can't tell for sure. Oh well, it wouldn't hurt to read it again. The art for this yaoi is kind of mediocre. It is not detailed and I think it sort of failed in human expressions. But this yaoi is a collection of many yaoi, each got it own chapter. There are 7 chapters overall. There's nothing special about the chapters, all have story similar to any other typical yaoi I've read so far. This makes me rate this yaoi as average.

Episode 7 of Sengoku Collection is about Matsuo Basho who helped a run down cafe with her haiku. The cafe was owned by a very obstinate lady but of course towards the end she warms up to Basho and doesn't want her to leave. Basho did leave though albeit temporarily when Nobunaga came for her. I guess she gave Nobunaga the Secret Treasure in order to stay in that cafe.

First Impression: Nazo no Kanojo X

This series is included in my MUST WATCH list of the season but for some reason when it was released, I have no desire at all to watch it. That is going to change though because finally I'm able to force myself to sit down and check it out.

Glo loves this series. He even changed his twitter name to the title of this series. Though I don't read the manga, he made me intrigued as to what was it that is so fascinating about this series. Well, for one, Urabe is awesome as fuck. I totally agree with Glo.

this is actually turning me on

Urabe reminded me somewhat of myself, except the saliva thingy. I know what I want and I will strive to get it, or at leas try to. Urabe is just like that. She is also sociably inept and doesn't really give a fuck what other people think of her. I liked her the moment she said no to her classmate and chose sleep over food. She's definitely not your average female character and that is always good in my book.

As for the story, it is definitely original. The fact that Urabe has that many saliva when she's happy/turn on, is a proof of that. I can't wait to see the plot with the scissors. 

I understand that the art itself is a representation of the manga but it is sort of out dated and the animation doesn't added any extra value to it. The saliva for example, didn't look real, but I guess as long as it managed to interpret what was written, it's good enough. At the end of the day, it shouldn't have mattered anyway. It's either you enjoy the episode or not and enjoyed it I did.

Episode 2 get.

art & animation 6/10
story 8/10
characters 9/10
sound 8/10
enjoyment 9/10
overall 8/10
