Zettai Karen Children OVA

(c) kink

For some weird reason, I get addicted to Zettai Karen Children. After I finished the 51 episodes, I quickly jumped to the manga and has been following the series ever since. So naturally I'm ecstatic with the release of this OVA titled Changing Love! Take Back the Stolen Future? It was released on July 16, 2010 and it took me this long to watch it because of the same reason why I am not up to date at all with my summer anime: life.

The OVA takes place a few years after the Children last appearance in anime so they are more well developed. If you read the manga then you are happy to notice that even the PANDRA children has joined the Children at their school which mean, Yuri/Feather/Phantom Daughter is around too.

The OVA started with Minamoto seemingly hijacked and attacked the BABEL organization. Then he went and kidnapped the Children. I don't need to be a genius to figure out that this is all a fluke. Minamoto would never do something like that unless someone (read: Yuri/Feather/Phantom Daughter) is manipulating and controlling him which exactly what's going on.

Needless to say I am pissed off with the development. I hate Yuri/Feather/Phantom Daughter from the very beginning so my reaction is a no surprised. What is more upsetting though is the fact that Minamoto can be so damn vulnerable. He let Yuri/Feather/Phantom Daughter kissed him and took control of his body and mind! Grrr... Grow some balls, Minamoto.

Suddenly Kaoru is no longer the queen but Yuri/Feather/Phantom Daughter is? Where the fuck is Hyoubu? He should straightens this shit up. Only Kaoru can be the queen for the espers. That's why she's so awesome. And just like the dark hero he is, Hyoubu appeared to console and coach the broken-hearted Kaoru.

Of course in the end all things went back to normal as they thwarted Yuri/Feather/Phantom Daughter's plan.

The story line for this OVA might be meh but the production team went to great length to make it clear in this OVA of the canon pairing of Kaoru and Minamoto so I'm a happy camper about that. I've been rooting for them even when Kaoru acted like an old man and sneaked around to see the girls pantsu. I approved.

The art and animation haven't differed much from the first season. They still wear unusual villain clothes and shit like that. I found it rather funny actually since the series looks like it was targeted for the younger children/teen but the manga has that "mature" tag to it. The irony.

Aya Hirano is still the seiyuu for Kaoru so obviously she does a good job at it. For the first time I though Yuuichi Nakamura sounds mighty sexy. I guess the plot kinda acquired Minamoto to have a sexy voice. I'm definitely going to remember him now, along with Tomokazu Sugita and Jun Fukuyama. The OP and ED still have that quality to it that will only remind you of the series without even have to second guess. I like the BGM during Minamoto and Hyoubu encounter before the real fight unfortunately I have no idea who sang it or what is the title of that song. It was pretty cool.

You can probably deduced of the character that I like the most (Kaoru) to my least favorite character (Yuri/Feather/Phantom Daughter) so I am not going to repeat myself here.

All and all, I like this OVA. It wasn't spectacular but it is something that will probably lead to second season of this series. I'll look forward to that. Let's make it official that I am now is gay for Kaoru as well

Diary of a tard - Week 2, September 2010

Wednesday, September 8

Watched Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls in between meetings. I could have enjoyed it more if my minions didn't interrupt me every 4 seconds >_>

I only managed to watch Bleach episode 287 after I got home. It was a filler that highlighted some of the most memorable moments during an SS arc but with a twist of Indian flavor to it. It was retarded but I actually enjoyed it.

Saturday, September 11

Yeah, this week has been crazy. I was busy with EID preparation then when EID came, I was busy spending time with family and friends so that pretty much left little room for anime or manga. Having said that, I couldn't possibly wait for more than 24 hours to read the latest chapter of Bleach.

And that pretty much wrapped up my tard diary this week. Enjoy the following strip

Bleach: Chapter 419

The reason I'm late with this review is because I'm on EID holiday and purposely avoid internet time to spend quality time with my family for once. Unfortunately, not knowing what happened in Bleach this weak made me restless so here I am, sneaking for internet access so I can read Bleach latest chapter.

I seriously am sorry for what Aizen has become. He who was so composed throughout the entire Bleach chapters for more than 10 years has suddenly turned out so pathetic.


In his rage, Aizen developed a third eye and before I knew it he has turned into a complete hollow. The transformation this early in the fighting stage is once again proved how pathetic he has become especially since Ichigo has not even got serious yet. The mask of his hollow, nonetheless, looks bad ass. It reminds me of Ironman for some reason. Go figure...


So with his hollowfied version, he started to attack Ichigo. The skulls on his "wings" aren't for decoration only. They can fire cero which seemingly can obliterates anything on its path. Anything except Ichigo, that is >_> (who still looks so mighty hot with his singed robe an all *drools*)

Aizen took the opportunity to finish Ichigo with all the skulls combining their cero at him. As usual, Aizen still have the time to give his speech. Needless to say, I did a headdesk.

Ichigo coolly interrupted him. I agree with Ichigo. His logic speech is getting on my nerves.


So in the next chapter Ichigo will finally reveal his final!Getsuga Tenshou. I really do hope that it can do the job of finishing Aizen once and far all. This fight, who most of us look forward to the most for these past 8 years or so has turned out too fucking lame thanks to Kubo. He has no freaking clue as to direction of this arc. *sighs*

The most cunning and genius villain to date will eventually die a pathetic death thanks to his own creator. It's sad T_T

Bleach: Episode 287

Oh yeah, it's a filler.

I'm not complaining. It's good to see them being normal again instead of fighting all the time. Although normal is kinda irrelevant in this episode.


Ichigo woke up and found himself in the Hueco Mundo desert. He met up with Ishida, Inoue and Chad who all used different names and wear the same kind of outfit like he is. I noticed that Inoue clothes is kinda different from the outfit she wore in 2005 WJ 21/22 double issue poster. They censored the tits section XD

It was funny to see Ichigo so flustered with all the changes because he has no clue what's going on. Their mission for tonight is to steal something at Urahara's who supposed to be this wealthy merchant. While they are at it, they found the Kon lamp who has Rukia as a genie. The funny part about this is the way Rukia speak. It was so retarded.

See anything you like? lol

And the bullshit continues. One thing led to the other, noww Rukia is going to be executed for breaking the Lamp Society law. LOL sound familiar?

Sure that it was a weak attempt from the production team but I found myself enjoying some of the moments in it. So it wasn't all that bad I guess...

Thank goodness though that this is a one filler episode only. We will get back to the canon story next week. Apparently this episode was made to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the manga. It has been 10 years?!

Time sure flies...

Just because

First impression: Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls

Okay, lets be honest. The first few minutes after watching this show, it occurred to me that it looks similar to Strike Wicthes but instead of using something to help the girls fly in the air, this show used nothing. Absolute nada. They can pretty much stand on top of the plane with two samurai swords in their hands. It was like their feet have magnet or something.

That's logic #1 thrown out of the window.

Then they can pretty much cut the plane in two using only their swords.

Logic #2 fucked up.

Having said all of that, the art really got me excited. It is certainly eye catching.

The chart didn't say anything about this show being ecchi though so it was unexpected. With any other show I would have dropped it in millisecond but like I said the art made all the difference. I'm gonna stick around for at least a second episode then we can decide from there.

*edit: I did a background check on the production team. Arms are well known for ecchi/yuri/hentai-ish anime. I should have known -_-

5 minutes in, the male protagonist has already kissed the naked female protagonist thus pretty much claimed her as his. They happened to share the same name too. Fate? The rest of the episode is pretty much a flashback of how things came to be: Yagyuu meeting Sanada, the maid horniness for her master, naked chic, ninja chic, etc. It was a pretty decent episode and definitely have me geared up for the 2nd episode.

The title already hinted that this going to be a show with lots of girls. So like any other show like this, I will of course ended up with list of girls that I want to die. But I'm gonna save the name for the end review of this show, if I ever managed to finish it. This show is also a harem. I really don't like harem. It just retarded in my opinion so hopefully the story line will make up for it.

Though it says samurai, I am yet to see any real action going on. The fight scene was pretty much butchered by the ink dots and the production team took a safer road. No slashing, just the sound of it. Kinda lame though because I was hoping that we got to see lots of blood in this one.

The arts kinda remind me slightly of Tower of Druaga and some of the character sounds familiar especially that of Sanada but I didn't bother to check who are their seiyuus. The OP and ED kinda meh, not my cup of tea. *shrugs*



The good news is, by the end of the episode, I don't feel like I was watching Strike Witches anymore. Also yuri and ecchi fans would probably gonna love this one ^_^"

Nendoroid Puchi: Death Note - Case File #02

These puchi came shortly after the vocaloid. Unlike with the vocaloid, I really do like these nendo petite probably because I am more familiar with them than those synthesizer wannabe. Who wouldn't know them, right?

Just so you know, these puchi do not come ready assembled. You have to assemble those tiny body parts yourself, just like I did with the vocaloid. And it was not an easy thing to do because they are tiny and I have a bad experience with broken figure part. Luckily I have small hands.

The reason why I want these puchi is because L is one of my favorite anime characters. I missed the chance to get the nendo so I make do with the puchi instead.

There are two L in the box. One holding a tennis racket and the other is talking to the phone. Both come with the cutest expression ever.


Also, look at the hair. I love the details on it. The same goes for Kira's puchi. The hair in my opinion was the cutest part for all the three Kira. One of the Kira is wearing a suit with a police badge in his hand, the other is Kira stripping for me and the third one is Kira in a sports gear ready to play tennis. If he thinks L want to play tennis with him, think again Kira.


Alright that is five of the puchi. There are seven left with one of them as the mystery character. Next up is Near. Besides L, my second favorite character from the series is Near. Probably because he resembles L a lot. I also have a thing for white-haired character. Just like his predecessor, Near too have a perfect hair for a figure. There are two Near in this puchi box. One with him awkwardly sitting with his toys, and the other is of him standing with a robot toy in his arm.


Then there is Mello who comes with two different expression and accessories. One is of him eating a bar of chocolate, which I found quite funny and would snickers every time I look at his face and the other of him holding a pistol/revolver.


I don't like Mello that much. His outfit is a big turn off for me. It made him looks like a cheap gigolo or something similar to that. But his eyes are pretty though.

The other figure in the box is Teru Mikami. His design must be the most boring design out of all the puchi. A black suit with a black file case and a black megane. The hair too made him looks like a girl wearing a suit. I guess I have to blame it on his job.


The mystery figure for this box is none other than Misa Amane, Kira's whore. She is wearing a white nurse outfit. I can't say much about her because I really don't like her.


Aight, that's it. I feel so relieved that I get this review finally done and over with. They arrived back in late February and it took me this long to do a review on them because I keep procrastinating with shits.

This only left me with three more set figure to review.

Life is great *lies*
