Hunter X Hunter episode 11: Leorio next bet is whether or not his opponent is a woman. Obviously Leorio bet that the opponent is a man just so he can check for himself. Of course he lose that bet. With only 10 hours left, he then bet on rock-paper-scissor which of course he lose again making the game tied with 2-2. Next up is Killua and his opponent is the most dangerous criminal but meh Killua finished him off in less than 5 seconds. That is one sick skill he has, ripping the heart of his opponent like that. So they won that stage but has to spend 50 hours penalty in a small room.

you don't say...

Episode 7 of Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle ought to be a good episode since it's about Nonoha and strangely I like her. Ms. Madoka, a kindergarten teacher, gave Kaito a letter. Thinking that it might be a love letter, Nonoha taking out her frustration on the sports that she joined. Little that she knows that Ms. Madoka is a giver and she used the kids as part of the puzzle. Muller, the new POG Head of Japan, set up a sage puzzle that endangered their lives but Kaito, Gammon and Nonoha have no problem solving them and at the same time made Madoka realized her wrong doing. At the end of the episode, Nonoha got the title The Nightingale.

surprise buttfuck is hardly surprising XD

It has been a while. Episode 8 of Hanasaku Iroha - Kissuiso suddenly has a lot of customers but Ohana's grandmother fell sick and rushed to the hospital. Ohana wanted to stay and look after her but she was refused because they were short on staff. On the way back to the inn, Ko called Ohana and I found myself smiling like an idiot. He was on the train on the way to see her too! Kyaaa~ Anyhoo, since there were suddenly so many customer, they thought that one of them got to be a mystery guest to evaluate the inn. They wanted to prioritize them over the other customers but Ohana was against it. She pretty much ran the inn that day. At the end of the episode, she was getting Tohru from a wedding while Ko arrived at the station.

Last Exile ~Fam, The Silver Wing~ episode 4: Fam was still with her plan to capture Sylvius but no one took her seriously. While she was busy convincing people about it, somebody else from Kartofell did a stake out. Dio managed to get a blurry picture of the ship and Gisey impressed me with her knowledge. She pretty much deducted what kind of ship it was, with the physical layout to a T. The next day, they all went after the ship but capturing it wasn’t as easy as Fam thought it was. They had to deal with the Sylvius captain Tatiana Wisla and she is not to be underestimated. Fam and Giselle were the one who got caught and in turn for their freedom, they had to snatch some Ades ships: one for each year they have been alive. Both Fam and Gisey are 15. You do the math. Fam’s readily agreed if it was for Millia. Urgh.

Episode 7 of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai: So the guys still met during summer vacation but pretty much done nothing at the club. They also came up with a way to contact each other to let them know who's coming and who's not. Yozora and Kodaka were very surprised when they found out the other usage for cellphones lol. But of course Sena has to be the party pooper just because she doesn't have one. She should have known that acting like that would only further embarrassed her, thanks to Yozora heh. She was being all bitchy about it but then got the same model as Kodaka (she fucking called Kodoka in the middle of the night and started yelling 'baka' over the phone).

they are so innocent, aren't they?

Friday, November 25

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai episode 8: Kodaka got to see Kobato naked again. Jeebus so unhealthy this family is. Anyhoo, Kobato followed him to the club and the girls (Sena and Rika) looked like they wanted to devour her. Club activities followed (pretty much Yozora bullying Sena) and suddenly they all agreed to go to the pool. Not everyone was having fun though because Yozora and Rika got sick from so many people and decided to leave. This is when Kodaka noticed that they all have changed since the club first started, except for Yozora and he feels for her, as he definitely should. She's his long lost friend, dammit! The sooner he realized that the better.

In episode 8 of Hunter X Hunter, they all arrived at the top of Trick Tower which actually a prison. Their mission is to get to the base alive. This one definitely looked like the hardest mission yet. They have to follow the will of the majority in order to reach the goal and they were being watched by Lippo, the warden. Too bad they ended up with the most selfish guy: Tonpa and then have to fight 5 prisoners one on one and win three fights in order to pass. Surprisingly Tonpa volunteered to be first but he obviously had something up his sleeves. He basically just gave up and handed the opponent the win. Next up is Gon but that has to wait till the next episode.

Why the hell did Komamori joined Shinjurou now? I absolutely against the idea but not like it would changed anything, would it? Episode 5 of UN-GO: Shinjurou was invited to an opening of a memorial by Shimada Hakurou where murders of two young men from the Rising Sun Party happened. Their bodies were hidden in the memorial statue. Jirou, Hakurou son, quickly took the blame even though he didn't murder them. Shinjurou suspected Hakurou but his deduction was off and that pissed him off. He was kind of emo in this episode which just pissed me off in return. In the end he did find the gold bricks though which sort of cool, I admit.

pissed Inga is a fucking smexy Inga

Episode 5 of Mashiro-Iro Symphony: I don't see what the big deal is calling Uryuu by his first name, but then again the Japanese always make that such a big deal to begin with so I can't really blame Airi, can I? But for someone who claimed not to be good with changes, she sure disappoint me at how much she have changed. She is no longer the Airi that I liked for the fist couple of episodes. Anyway, Uryuu was (a) overheard that the stupid club of Amaha is closing down (b) comforting Ange for some useless shit about being a maid so now she wanted him to be her master. Needless to say the plot was fucking stupid.

Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle episode 6: Cubie ran some test on Kaito since he's all depressed and shit for not being able to solve the puzzles. He advised Kaito not to solve anymore puzzle or his brain could be fried. But of course Kaito won't listen. POG sent another invitation to Kaito and he accepted the challenge. Lucky for him Gammon and Nonoha have his back but they ended up in danger instead. Obviously Kaito ended up triumphant at the face of adversity.

impure thoughts running through my mind at this imagery XD

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.

a compulsory screeshot

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

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai episode 3: Sena is playing eroge inside the church. Heh. What Yozora said after that is so made of win: You damn perverted! Silence wench! You succubus! Flasher! Bitch! Walkim cum dumpster! Real dutch wife! Walking porn scene! Don't come near me! Don't touch me! You'll make me pregnant! The second half of the episode is dedicated to Kodaka and Sena developing their friendship and as expected now Sena wants to get into his pantsu. Damn. They also introduced Kodaka's little sister, Kobato, who is so into a character in Kurogane no Necromancer that she cosplay the said character. Basically she acts like a spoiled princess 24/7 and Kodaka just play along.
p/s: Apparently Kodaka and Yozora has known each other since they are kids. Kodaka just needs to realize who she is because Yozora sure as hell remember who Kodaka is. Problem is he thinks that kid he hang out with is a boy *facepalm*

Episode 4 of Hunter X Hunter: Few hours have passed since Phase One of the examination started and still no sign of stopping. In the mean time, Gon met his gay partner Killua who doesn't really care about being a Hunter but join for the thrill of the Exam. Leorio on the other hand finally spilled the reason why he is so obsessed with money. Apparently his friends died because they can't afford the operation which is also the reason why he wants to be a doctor. In order to reach the destination for Phase Two, they have to cross the Swindlers Swamp where the creatures will fool you. Once fallen to their trap that's the end of it: death.

no one will believe that you are a teenager Leorio

This episode of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon will determine whether or not I will continue watching this show or dropping it. I don't see the purpose of watching a show that I don't give a damn about and there is no reason why should I sit through the whole episode, is there? Considered this show DROPPED.

It seemed illogical that 10 year old kids having conversation about puzzle, as of who to blame and that puzzle never betrays human. WTF. But never mind... I'll play along. That's the start of episode 4 of Phi Brain - Kami no Puzzle. Kaito got to meet another genius who holds the title Da Vinci: Ana Gram. She will be Kaito's partner this week. She's funny and I liked her in an instant. They have to solve the Swazenbergh puzzle which is heart warming puzzle for a change. Also turns out Ana is actually a guy. FUCKING TRAP I LOVE YOU!

he's a he! he's a he!

Let see if episode 2 of Mashiro-Iro Symphony will make me rage enough to drop this shit or will I continue to watch this for the sake of my OTP (Airi/Shingo). From the look of things, it won't be easy though since Shingo pretty much dug his own grave with Airi. But isn't that what makes the chase interesting?

Since we are at it, might as well watch episode 3 of Mashiro-Iro Symphony as well. Fate is definitely on my side as Airi and Shingo were both picked as the class representatives. Airi is still as stubborn as ever. I really want to find out why she distaste boys so much. She must have her reasons. In the mean time, Shingo gets cozy with Miu, who potentially be Airi's biggest rival. So I am glad when Shingo strikes a deal with Airi: he finished the class representative work while Airi be his tutor. LOL very smooth indeed Shingo.

that's what us humans called love, tsundere Airi ^_^

Last Exile ~Fam, The Silver Wing~ episode 2: Millia was sent to Iglasia. Fam and Gisey were responsible to take her there. Once she handed over the letter, her dad asked Fam to escort Millia to Eastern Imperial Villa. On the other hand, Princess Lily has asked for Kartofell help to protect Turan from the Ades Federation. She planned on launching a surprise attack to down the Impetuous with Premier Luscinia Hafez in it. Fat chance though. Hafez sent out his most trusted man to take care of Lasas and kidnapped Princess Lily. Dio brought the news to Fam and since Millia begged her to save her sister, Fam just can't say no. Sadly though Hafez was using Lily to reactivate Exile, the best airship in the world apparently. Turan wasn't destroyed by the Ades Federation but rather by the Exile itself.

There is just something about silver haired guys that makes you wanna fap

Episode 3 of UN-GO: Yuuki and Inga have to assist Rie solving the Kazamori case. Kazamori was the head of Sasa Kamomari (who was the creator of artificial intelligent RAI). He was adopted though so the real family sorta envious of him. For some reason there wore plastic bag around their head so no one ever seen his face. Kazamori was killed when he self-combusted so Yuuki has to prove that it wasn't a curse. It was easy. Kazamori wasn't human to begin with. Heh, this episode is way better than the previous two and it doesn't end here. To be continued in the next episode.

Unlike UN-GO, I doubt Guilty Crown will have any improvement this week judging from the aniblogsphere reaction to it on twitter. I have lost all hope for this series after last week's episode but here I am sitting down for episode 3. Damn you noitaminA. Well, Inori had joined Shu's class and everyone recognize her from Egoist. Since Shu rejected Undertaker's offer to join them, he naturally didn't want anything to do with Inori. Fat chance though. She'll be staying with him. Needless to say I'm in rage but lets venture on. Apparently Shu's mom is working for the government. What an irony and she's researching about the Norma Gene drug. Yahiro, Shu's friend takes that drug and was the witness to what happened in episode 2. Shu has to find him (but he doesn't know it as Yahiro so he tested his power on several other students. Turns out everyone has Voids *rolleyes* so Inori wasn't special after all). Shu wants to believe the good in people so he lets Yahiro go but Yahiro turned on him and now Shu is under arrest by another psycho guy. Heh served him right.
p/s: Gai has the ability to see Voids which was how he figured that Shu will take that Kaleidoscope shit from Daryl Yan.

everyone, meet Segai, another psycho guy in this show :3

Now that I've seen all these bad hot guys, I have the urge to read some yaoi. I guess I'll resume Paradise Baby chapter 5: It's a new arc called Love Letter and lasted for 2 chapters. A story between Kotera and Azuma. Apparently Azuma once confessed his love to Kotera during middle school. Unfortunately Kotera doesn't remember the face until recently. Since he knows he likes Azume he thought things will work out. Unfortunately all Azuma wants is to forget that painful memories. LOL not for long because Kotera is determined to make him his *chuckles*

The last arc of Paradise Baby is called Kira Kira featuring Miyoshi and Maki. They are a couple but Miysoshi is still a virgin and would like to remain so. That just makes sexually frustrated. Miyoshi knows that he is being unfair to Maki but he's just a poor insecure son of a bitch so he eventually relent. I love the fact that they were having an honest conversation about their first time sex experience. That is rare in yaoi.

Maki is hot. Must be that megane. Hnnnnnngghh ♥

Next yaoi on my list is Sailor Danshi. This one is a comedy and has different story for every chapter (7 chapters overall). Some of the arcs were disappointing especially the first one but don't let it turn you off. I wasn't a fan because I don't like lovey dovey shit when it comes to sex. It would have been sexier and manlier if they just do their business like a man without mewing every 5 seconds. Thankfully not all the arcs were that annoying. On several others the comedy actually got me laughing. Some of it even turns me on. I guess I can't say that I only watched this for the art lmao

I'm sorry guys XD

Since I am on a binge, lets continue with another yaoi: Kawaii Akuma. It has 6 chapters and the story kinda have the tendency to be all over the place. But then again, I would be all over the place too if a fucking good looking guy suddenly asked me if I want to have sex with him. If I say no he'll rape me and if i say yes, I will let him rape me. LMAO so complicated. Hmm, what should I do. Heh now I get it why this manga is called Kawaii Akuma and it definitely makes me chuckles non-stop. Akiyoshi is too damn gullible and I don't blame Futa for wanting him so much. But if you are looking for sex, you won't be getting much from this manga. It was just story with almost to none action however when they decided to give it to you, better hold on tight to that seat of yours. I read all 6 chapters in one sitting. That means the story is entertaining.

it was a really fun read ^__^

Today is my sister's birthday. She's turning 26 this year. Happy bornday Abby!

Episode 2 of Boku ha Tomodachi ga Sukunai: Yozora decided to play games for club activities: PSP Monster Hunters is the chosen game. They really get into the characters and as expected Sena and Yozora keep taking each other down during the game. Same goes for the next game: School Life 7. I can see why this would have been awesome in the manga. Unfortunately I can't say that the anime adaptation goes as smoothly. Having said that, I had a great laugh when Yozora went to find Fujibayashi Akari and kill her. That is just too funneh.

That's my girl

I am still wasn't sure of Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle. Here hoping that episode 2 will be better. Kaito managed to figure out which rope to pull but he scared the bejeebus of Nonoha with his red eye. Right after he solved the puzzle, he collapsed and Nonoha fucking carried him up the hills! Now that he has the armband, he has to face Givers of POG and received the Einstein title. Anyway the only reason why I even bother with 2nd episode is because the introduction of Gammon. I thought he would be interesting and he really is. I guess on to episode 3 then especially since they are about to introduce another retarded character who is supposed to be Kaito's childhood friend. But he's working for POG so that makes him the enemy.

loud and annoying

Monday, October 17

It's my cousin's birthday today. I baked him a marble with chocolate topping cake for his birthday. He better be grateful.

Hunter X Hunter episode 3: They have arrived at Zaban city with the help of the navigator. They were led to the Hunter Exam where hundreds of Hunter wannabe are. Some of them looks suspicious and downright nasty. Others look nice but is the devil wearing mask. Phase One is already started with Satotz as the examiner. It's an endurance test both physically and mentally to see how far they could run/follow him without knowing when or where are they going to arrive.

Cubic Galois is introduced in episode 3 of Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle. He holds the title of Edison and wants Kaito to join him in Mathematics research. In other words he wants Kaito to quit puzzles. Cubic put a charm wristband on Kaito just to make sure. Whenever Kaito wants to solve puzzle, he gets a migraine. Thankfully Gammon is everywhere to help him out otherwise the city will detonate if they phailed. Of course Kaito will be the hero that saves the city. It's getting annoying that he gets to be the only one solving all these puzzles in the end. Anyhoo, looks like he gets himself a fanboy >_>

the most annoying character in the show

I am in foul mood and what better way to cheer myself up than to watch Gintama. On to episode 153! Kagura had trouble sleeping so naturally she harasses Gin to help her sleep. Gin was kind enough to do so, even making food for her. In the end, as expected it was Gin who had trouble sleeping after that after he listened to the retarded radio show.

Episode 154 of Gintama: It's Kyubei's birthday and the bunch were invited to her birthday party by Tojo. As usual, they created a scene and was looked down by the rich bastards who attended the party. Towards the end, Shinpachi lost it when a pig purposely bumped into his sister and ruined the cake she bought for Kyubei. They all thought that Tojo gonna beat the crap out of them but turned out Tojo defended them. He was actually using those guys to cut the parasites that wanted part of Yagyu clan's wealth.

Found Paradise Baby out of nowehere and fuck I love this fucking yaoi. Awesome yaoi is awesome which mean it isn't all about fucking. I love the vulnerability and the feeling of insecure that this yaoi tries to portray. Personally I think they did a great job. I definitely understand why Shiroi acted that way. I have been there too many time. It wasn't pleasant. This is why I often just say what's on my mind rather than second guessing what the other thinks. Between Shiroi and Sawa-chan, Shiroi gotta be my favorite character since I can relate to him all the way from start to finish. Besides, who doesn't want to be fuck by Shiroi, right? Right. I thought so ^__^

Isn't that just delicious? *faps*

I can't stop myself from going on a yaoi binge today. This is what happened when I'm depressed. Next up is Rumble Rush which is more manly compared to Paradise Baby but weaker story line. However, this is just one of the yaoi that you don't care about the story but just want to see the characters fucked each other senseless. Threesome? They have it. S&M? They have it too. Rape? Well you can't called it rape if the receiving end enjoyed it and is so damn willing at the end, can you? Foot fetish? Include that in the list as well. Rumble Rush featured different story for different chapters so you don't have time to get attached to any of the characters. I'm not complaining though. They all look deli! Except for one, who is a doc that looks like Sean Connery. I'm not digging that type is all. All I can say is, this one is not for the faint hearted lol

that megane... hot dayyum!

Friday, October 21

For some reason I don't want to write episodic review for that two noitaminA shows. They have been the biggest disappointment for me this Fall. Aight on to episode 2 of UN-GO: Yuuki was trying to get Dol-Pli, an advance version of Vocaloid but it was prohibited on the day of it's sale. On the other side of town, Rinroku was investigating the murder of Osada Hisako. They suspected Aramaki, Osada's lover. Her daughter doesn't think so though so she asked help from Yuuki. As you may have expected, his investigation brought him back to Dol-Pli and Yonagahime 3+1, an idol group during the war. One of the girls were claimed that but Yuuki recognized the voice. It belonged to Osada An, the daughter of the victim. I knew the daughter was the culprit when she mentioned Yonaga and I was right. However she wasn't punished for her crime. Kaishou covered up for her and seemed like they have something to do with the Yonagahime shit too. Most interestingly though, it seems like Yuuki is bound by some contract with Inga. The contract definitely makes Yuuki as Inga's bitch. I don't like the adult version of Inga at all.

didn't know you are such a bitch, Yuuki

Guilty Crown episode 2: Shu kinda lost it for a minute after he came down from the Void Genome high. Lucky him that it kinda protect him from getting any serious injuries. After all, at least 5 missiles were launched at him after he brought down on of the enemy mecha. Once he's done using the Void Genome, it went back inside Inori chest cavity. I was ready to up on this one when Daryl Yan appeared. He looks like he knows how to have fun while inflicting pain and miseries to people. Cruel? Yes but it's necessary for this show. Also Gai, lets not forget about Gai. Obviously he pissed that the good-for-nothing Shu got to use the Void Genome. I would be super mad too and I actually still am mad about it. I said the same thing in my first impression post. Anyhoo he led another rescue mission and declared that the Undertaker won't be working covertly anymore. They will fight the Anti-Bodies head on, but of course they have to depend on Shu and credits for him for not failing.
p/s: Apparently Yan has chest cavity as well. Oh and for a more detail review, go to Cart Driver and read what Scamp has to say about it.

Meet Daryl Yan, everyone. Don't let his innocent look deceived you. He is bat shit insane ♥

First Impression: Phi Brain - Kami no Puzzle

Initially this show is categorized in the "potential to be shit" list in my Fall preview. I just don't like the sound of the synopsis. It was too overly complicated and a little bit too ambitious I think. However, here I am now sitting in front of my computer watching this shit instead of finishing a business proposal.


The show started with a high school student who looks like he has a permanent scars under his eyes, saving some dude in a cape from death as he tried to solve a puzzle that caused the earth to cave in and consequently created a lake. Like I said, they are too ambitious with the ideas.

Daimon Kaito (that's his name by the way) is self-claimed puzzle genius. He's your Indiana Jones. In short, he's an asshole. Soji, the president of a puzzle club at his school gave him a game that contains several puzzles to be solved. Once he got that cleared he receive an invitation from a Minatour, some retarded dude wearing a buffulo mask. Either he will solve the puzzle or he dies. Meh, needless threat >_>

Anyhoo, Soji is in the league with the principal to recruit student with Phi Brain and obviously Kaito is a candidate. They need him so they can get to Divine Puzzle shit whatever. But first he has fulfill the Orpheus' Contract, which he did (duh).

When I heard the name Kaito, my brain does a flip and this is the only image that comes to mind
(c) Kyou Zip

The character designs, like I pointed earlier are kind of derpy. I just don't dig it much. It's just not about the designs but the personality of the characters as well. They are kind of a typical and nothing inspirational. Thankfully though the seiyuus are all pretty excellent and that makes the characters likable to a certain extend. The episode itself is meant to be engaging but it just lack the excitement. It would have been better if the audience is allowed to figure out some one the puzzle as well. The grand idea is there but they sort of fail at the execution.

I would have dropped this if it wasn't for the preview. It seems like they will introduce a new character that will be one of the three musketeers for this show and he looks crazy enough to pique my interest.

So for now, this show survives.
