Bleach: Episode 242

I've said this so many time before but I freaking love it when those ninja guys from the 2nd Division appeared out of thin are. They are cool like that, even though they'll drop like flies whenever they got attacked. I just wish they had a cooler captain to match.

The ninjas are the sacrificial lamb in Bleach *facepalm*. Aren't they supposed to be trained and all that shit? They are the special cop or whatever right? Aren't they supposed to be skilled as shit? Jeebus... give them some credibility won't you?!

Anyway, one-on-one/two-on-one/three-on-one fight is okay as long as it is done the right way. I don't give a fuck with fairness. A fight is a fight no matter what. And I got to say that I look forward to Yumichika vs Fuji Kukaku for some very odd reason that I rather keep it to myself.

Oh and thanks to Soi Fon I got to learned the name of zanpaktou that belongs to the 1st Squad vice captain. She can be useful sometimes too I guess *chuckles*

So that is who you are!

Where is Shuuhei by the way? Still unconscious from his last fight with Kazeshini? What a wimp. But never mind, at least with his absent, we got to see Kira in action. Kazeshini is so dead.

Kira is pissed because we didn't get to see Wabisuke.

Despite the outcome was effing predictable, the only reason I like the fight between Ikkaku and Houzukimaru is because the results were apparent: chipped weapon, ragged robe, bruised cheeks. That's what I would called relatively real animation. It just lack the amount of blood but I understand it was all about censorship nowadays. Fucking America...

Ikkaku and his rape face. Inseparable.

You probably would have guessed what happened when Mayuri's zanpaktou appeared in front of Isane and Iba (where the fuck are their zanpaktous by the way?). Yes, I started to squeal like a fangirl that I am. That kid is so disturbingly cute I just can't help it.

The fruit of my labour XD

p/s: the omake makes me lol'd. Ikkaku wears a red ribbon and a floral patent pants? Priceless.

Nendoroid Arawn

Fucking finally. After 2 days of delay my Nendoroid Arawn finally arrived today, just before my patience runs out, otherwise the SkyNet people will probably end up having something stuck up their orifices.

But lets not dwell on that. Lets celebrate the arrival of Arawn, my first ever Nendo! w00t!

For those who have not an effing clue who Arawn is, he is The Great Demon King, Arawn-sama from the anime Tears to Tiara. He is my second favorite character in the series. The top place belongs to Arthur unfortunately GoodSmileCompany doesn't think he deserved to have a nendoroid version of him, thus I just have to make do with Arawn. There is a Riannon nendoroid (Arawn's wife to be) as well but since I don't like her that much, I decided that I'll be Arawn's waifu instead. This is my alternate universe after all. So fuck all and bow to me!!

Nendoroid Arawn comes with three faces with different expressions, his crimson sword Edram, the sword scabbard, an apple, one pair of extra hand and his famous red scarf.

Arawn's upset face

Arawn's sleazy grinning face. I love it when he is wearing this expression so expect this one to be abused by yours truly

Arawn's startled face. You don't want to be near him when he startled.

Another profile shot

Like I initially thought, nendoroid is indeed more sturdy than figma and would probably provides more versatility too. I'm glad that all my incoming figures in the next two months are nendos. I'm not saying I'm quitting figma but after few mishaps with the figma, I have second thoughts about buying them. I don't want to buy them just for display so the fact that they are quite a flimsy character kinda opposed some minor problems for me.

But I'm sure I'll be getting one as long as I see it desirable. I have no self-discipline or self-restrain when it comes to this kind of things.

This reminds me. I need to look for some PVC figurines too.

Drössel finds Arawn extremely cute

Arawn: WHAT THE?!

Arawn: WHO THE?!

Arawn: Are you from the Empire?

Drössel: Huh? Uh.. no?

Arawn: I don't believe you. Take me to your camp

Gin: Ora?
Haruhi: Heeee....
Drössel: Sorry guys...
(spot Shrek?)

Loot from enemy camp: apple!!

p/s: I think I like this setup for my figures introduction ^_^

Take a dip

This was taken during my last week's Friday (October 9) escapade to Kota Tinggi waterfalls. The day was hot and sticky so my family and I decided to go to the waterfalls to refresh ourselves. The waterfalls is less than an hour away from my house so yeah, awesome XD

These shots were random with no stories in mind. My mind was fully occupied by the thoughts of soaking in the ice-cold water that seems to beckon me ever since I arrived at the entrance. Did I mention that it was a sunny hot and sticky day? Perfect for taking a dip in the refreshing cold water.

Drossel has found us a safe location to put our belongings

Although there are benches provided by the management, it is still too far away from the water. So to ensure that our belongings are safe when we are in the water, we have to put them on the rocks where we can always see them. I sometimes wish we are more like the Japanese so that we don't have to worry about our stuffs while we are having fun in the water. Japanese are a bunch of honest people.

OMG just look at how tempting that water is ^o^

It was raining the day before I went there so the water level rose, very much to my delight.

I am thankful to the fact that the place is still covered with greenery. However look can be deceiving. At the entrance of the waterfalls, there is a mine that are operating ever since I can remember. Most of the trees and the hills at the entrance are now gone forever, replaced by a barren scenery. What they are doing is slowly nurturing the global warming. I hate them. I hate the damage that they have inflicted on nature.

Drossel asked if she could have a dive in the pool too. I said no.

Oujo-sama doesn't take no for an answer (yes that's my foot -__-)

She was pretty pissed and was ready to go hyper on me

Since I'm not in the mood for a hyper Drossel, I let her have it her way -__-

As you can see, she was pretty happy, waving to anyone who bothers looking

chillaxing

Because it was a weekday, there are not as many people as they would have been on weekends. Apart from my family, there are only a bunch of people around: few teenage boys (as seen in the above pictures), a couple from Singapore, another couple who kept asking me to take pictures of them, and a group of Indian guys. We kinda have a silent agreement and take each part of the pools to ourselves. It was fun.

Then she wanted to try out the big one. I told her it will be her suicide. After some deep thoughtful thinking, she walked away ^^" (can you see the couple smooching in between her legs? >D)

She complained that water got into her ears. I told her to shake it off. It worked, miraculously XD

This is the last photo I took of Drossel at the waterfall before an accident happened which I rather not talk about. Cookies for those who can guess though!

Alright here are few of the scenery photos that I took before I jumped into the water.

The waterfall is located 15km north-west of the Kota Tinggi Town. It is 36 meters high and located at the base of Muntahak Mountain.

The waterfall is not the same as it was back in the 90's though. The natural beauty of some part of the locations has been spoiled by artificial landscapings. The management made it into a water theme park which is just pure moronic in my opinion. The middle part of the ground pools are totally ruined. It is no longer suitable for chillaxing. When the water level falls, there aren't enough water to make the water slide working. So what was the purpose of having a water slide, ne? Like I said, moronic desu!

And don't forget the absurd entrance fee! MYR7.50 for Malaysian adults, kids is around MYR4.50 (i think. Not sure) and they charged MYR3 for vehicle. You can't bring your own food but the food sold at the "water theme park" tasted like shit. It was like they were giving you an ultimatum: Either you starve or eat shit.

*sigh*

I end this rant with the promised random shots.

There are lot of butterflies. These are one of the common ones around.

Stairs leading up to the higher parts of the waterfalls

These steps are very slippery when it wet though so be careful!

Diary of a tard - week 3, October '09

Sunday, October 11

OMG I spotted Touma in To Aru Kagaku no Railgun episode 2! I surprised myself when I actually glad that he's back. I guess I did like him back in season 1. I just don't like the loli. But damn that was something that I can tolerate. Kuroko's lesbo mode on the other hand... *pissed*. Why can't she be gay for the dorm mistress instead?

Keroro Gunsou episode 63 cracks me up. It's the episode where Keroro's dad comes down to Pekopon and brought a marriage proposal for Keroro. In his panic, he lied and said he's going to marry Natsumi. Keroro's dad then begin to grill both Keroro and Natsumi to prove their love for each other.

Ultimo chapter 9 is out! And the chapter explains what is "the ceremony of the vow". It was a massive level of shotacon. Anyway, during the moment of the ceremony, we got to see the past, the present and the future of Yamato/Ultimo with some pretty interesting plot taking place. Ultimo's power is able to manipulate time and space. Kinda gay but heck, the mecha is still hot and he defeated Edile less than 30 seconds. Just when Yamato wants to take Edile to their hide out, BAM! Lune appeared and act all evil *flapping fangasm*.

Yes, in other words, I'm masochistic weeaboo^_^

Is happy to report that the lastest chapter 66 of Soul Eater has no trace of Maka! Instead we have Kilik, Fire, Thunder, Liz and Patty. They are on their first mission as unit Spartoi of Elite Shibusen. I didn't know Kilik can used Liz and Patty though. Good work. I must say that I'm super impressed with Kilik. He's so cool!
So is Azusa-san and her seringan (naruto reference WTF). They uncovered Medusa's experiment with insanity and info on Chrona as well. What they don't know is, they were watched by Medusa all along so she send out the Black Clown. Dayyum.

I take a first look at Kobato. Err... not really my kind of anime but it isn't as bad as Kampfer. At least her naivety is something that I can still tolerate since she that makes her funny and moe. She comes from the sky, got a blue toy dog named Ioryogi with her and on a mission to fill her bottle with scarred hearts. Yeah stupid, I know but it makes me chuckled so this anime get an OK from me. However the male lead is made of phailed. Did I mentioned his hair is as long if not longer than Kabuto and he wears it in a pony tail? Definitely not a bishie! *is disappointed*


The only reason I downloaded Miracle Train was because the promotional poster led me to believe that this show is going to be fulled of bishounen. Needless to say that it wasn't although they want us to believe that there is. This show is a fucking train-wrecked but I'm not going to complain much since this anime is especially made for gay and girls, I feel kinda obligated to watch it. Also because they are using my favorite seiyuus!! Err... let's not bother with the story line because basically it has none, at least not yet.

Miracle Train: where women get rape and didn't even know it

My first impression on Seitokai no Ichizon is: not another Haruhi Suzumiya parody please! But whatever it is clearly a show full of parodies. I lol'd when Sugisaki mentioned the word "evolution" and Shiina cut him off with "That was so bad, don't even mention it!". Clearly it was referring to Dragon Ball, heh. But that was all. This show sucks! *dropped*

I've been waiting for Fairy Tail to come out. I have read one or two chapters of the manga, thanks to Marshall, but life is a bitch and won't allowed me to continue the elicit relationship. So naturally I was happy that they are doing the animation. I approved of Natsu's voice. It's something that I didn't expect (was expecting an annoying voice like Naruto), and I almost forgot his transportation phobia lol. I like what I see so far. Not a fan of it's animation but meh I watch it for shounen. Since I already know what's going to happen in this episode, I was kinda nonchalant about it but I'm sure I'll enjoy the episode when the spoilers wear off. Or maybe I'll do this like I do Bleach. Reading both manga and watch the anime at the same time? Can I do it though?

OMG! Kamina-sama ripped off!

I'm Natsu of Fairy Tail, hear me RAWRRR!!!!

Anyone else saw the 3 minutes show of Cheburashka Arere? Cheburashka is the name of the small animal that looks like koala. He quickly becomes friends with Gena the crocodile. Cheburashka is the name given by Gena because he tumbles down a lot. It was simple and kinda cute, I think.

Don't do it Cheburashka! You must not trust a crocodile with those words even though it wears a bow tie!

Hatsukoi Limited - Gentei Shoujo episode 2 saw Soako still struggling to get through the day without wearing any underwear. After the stairs, now it's time for gym class which means she has to change to gym clothes. Even if she managed what about the running, the jump and all that? Wouldn't her oppai be all over the place, bouncy merrily as well? If that's not bad enough, her short pants ripped! I couldn't stop laughing! ^o^

In episode 3, it's all about obtaining the ever-so-hard-to-get melonpans (no I don't mean the b00bs). Erotica extravaganza!!

The animation of Kimi ni Todoke reminds me a lot of Lovely Complex? Anyway, the first few minutes of the episode already makes me a laugh. The misconception people have for Sowako and the fact that she doesn't notice that her action and way of speaking kinda led people to believe that she's scary is rather funny. The story so far: she likes this guy Kazehaya who seems to be the only one that notices her and totally the opposite of her. By the way, Kazehaya-kun totally remind me of Otani from Lovely Complex ~nyuuu. I am already have a crush on him! This shoujo looks promising. I was totally into it! Yosh!!

Kazehaya Shouta, be my waifuu!!

Pandora Hearts DVD Special episode 3... WHY THE HELL HAVE I NOT STARTED WITH PANDORA HEARTS YET?!! *is totally drooling for the bishies*

Lag makes me laugh when he asked Gouche if he has rubbed Aria's boob yet. Letter Bee episode 2 saw that people is not really found of Letter Bee. After Gauche arrived at Cambel (thanks to Lag), he was treated very badly because he's a letter bee. Anyway, Lag and Gauche said their goodbyes and skipped to 5 years, Lag is applying to be a Letter Bee himself. I hope this is not the last we saw Gauche.

Bleach episode 241 is freaking awesome!

I like what I've seen so far with 11eyes. I'm a sucker for emo guy. Also the show confuses me, and gives me the feeling of... "freaking bejeebus". Definitely something that I like in the anime. Oh and the casts look promising. The only problem I have with this show so far is the girls' uniforms. Urgh fugly. Also I don't think the pantsu shots were necessary... I hope this series will not turn out like Chaos;Head though.

Sugata makes me interested in Sora no Otoshimono. He's quite the eccentric type. I like the lead male too occasionally when he's not obsessed with his dream. A girl falling down from the sky, wearing indecent clothes, is so cliche but meh whatever. I'm going to give this series another episode to go before I decide what I want to do with it. It is kinda funny after all despite the undertone ecchi and the plot is getting interesting too.

yes, Tomoko wins me over with this scene. He's >9000!

Happy birthday, Abby!! My sister is 24 today and gets the best present of all. She's pregnant! w00t!! *wipe tears*

Anyway, Bleach chapter 378 is good because I'm an IchiRuki fan :3

As for Naruto chapter 468, another good chapter (no sasgay, yay!). Gaara is such a responsible young man (*beaming with pride*). I can't wait to see what Sakura has to say to Naruto. She better not confessing her love! NaruHina FTW!!

Yay, I have caught up with Bamboo Blade manga, which urged me to write a review on the anime. I so effing love it when Tamaki got into matches and her opponent would surely be reeled-in and wot not. She is just so awesome! Also I lol'd so hard when I learned the reason why Ura doesn't want to do kendo anymore. hehehe

On top of that I have started with the Bamboo Blade B too. ^_^

I need to catch up on Ares though. I really feel ashamed of myself -__-.

And yet... I picked up Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Fairy Tail again! I have no self restrained and discipline!

Kobato was continually abused by Ioryogi in episode 2 but she remains cute and naive. I like her which surprise me very much. I usually hate characters like her. Oh well, good news is I still hate the male lead Fujimoto. Kobato managed to heal some kid's scarred heart. Her first ever. Good for her :)

The second half of Keroro Gunsou episode 64 was made of sheer hilarity. I giggled like mad when Tama blasted Keroro when they get inside of Dororo's head. Keroro deserved that ^_^

First thought when I saw Sasameki Koto was WTF yuri?! *facepalm* and immediately dropped it. Next!

I don't hate Yumeiro Patissiere. Not really. But I'm not watching this anytime soon. This reminds me of Shugo Chara where the targeted audience is children below 13. It was sweet and cute and all that. Definitely not for me.

(is watching Lucky.Star ah-gain ^o^)

Bleach: Chapter 378

Hehehehe, I was looking forward for this week manga simply because I know we are going back to Hueco Mundo, which mean we got to see Rukia. I squeal with glee when I saw both Renji and Sado were down, but not her. Granted she was about to be crushed by Yammy any second but she did not seek help from the unconscious. Muahahahahaha! >3


Oh fuck. I just knew Ichigo would show up when Yammy "slipped". I was holding my breath to see how Kubo would have done it. I'm glad that Kubo does not disappoint me with their second reunion.

dramatic effect FTW!!

I'm so proud of my girl. Despite her situation, she still worries for Inoue. Just by hearing Ichigo's reply to her question, Rukia immediately knows that something is wrong or have changed with Ichigo. After all Ichigo has never killed an opponent before. Ulquirra was his first (fuck you Kubo!! *cries*). Such little change but she has no problem detecting it. Heh

Alright, I like the new mask and all and Yammy is about to get toasted but to be honest I was quite disappointed because I (like many others) wish for Unohana to come and beat the crap out of Yammy. Where are the Captains anyway?
