Diary of a tard: Week 4, February 2011

Lucky☆Star episode 10: Kagami taught her sister how to used the handphone. Miyuki got a cold and went to clinic. She was so engrossed in her reading, she missed it when her number was called. Same thing happened when she got on a bus. She needs to pay more attention to her surrounding. Then they had a sleep over at Konata's house. Btw, I found it really hard to write a consistent review for this show.

She is so moe

Episode 3 of Kore wa Zombie desu ka?: Aikawa tried so hard not to let Orito knows that he is living with a three bishoujo. Obviously he will phailed. Halfway through they decided to get serious so Orito brought Aikawa to the hospital to visit Kyoko, another victim of the serial killer. She described the killer to Aikawa and it matches Hellscythe. Dum dum dum...

phailed

I want more laughter so I decided to watch Mitsudomoe episode 9: They are still on Gachi and there are still misunderstanding about Gachi and sex/porn and as always the teacher is in the middle of the shit. LOL I would have been traumatized if I was Yabecchi. On the next mini episode, Hitoha became a Santa and I was rolling off my chair laughing when she tried to get out of the room. Futaba is really awesome though when she becomes the ball for the ice bowling.

and that's how she came ^_^

Slowly but surely, Nurarihyon no Mago episode 5: Rikuo got a fever and the conflict about him being the third heir continues. So does his life as a student. His friends came over for a visit and we got a love triangle going on between Ienaga, Rikuo and Yuki Onna. I found this extremely cute especially when Yuki was flustered and shit. Rikuo and his paranormal crazy friends then went on a field trip to Umerakuen where Gyuki resides. The youkai traitor overheard the plan and set to kill Rikuo (again). Btw, I’m intrigued with the Crow Demon’s sons. I bet they are good looking. LOL

Episode 6 of Nurarihyon no Mago: The professor they met at Umerakuen was a troll. It was all a set up to kill Rikuo. I am glad that I can’t see spirits otherwise it would have been some scary shits. For example, those youkai at the onsen creep me out. However I refuse to believe that Horsehead and Oxhead are bad youkai. They are too good looking to be the bad guy. Of course my opinion will change if they end up getting killed instead. For now I take the “innocent until proven guilty” route. Sure they attacked Yuki Onna but that’s all Gyuki’s fault. Oh fuck, alright. So they are bad after all >>

Can’t stop now where it’s getting good. Finally Rikou is fighting as himself in episode 7 of Nurarihyon no Mago. Well, at least he did good trying to protect Yuki before the smexy Rikuo took over. Oh yeah, don’t forget about Kana. I really don’t like her character’s personality. It got all the ingredients of hate. I refused to accept her as the canon pairing for Rikuo. Btw, I learned that Zen’s seiyuu is Sugita ^_^ also I take back my words about the Crow Demon’s son. They look like… well… crow! *facepalm*

So hawt

Ookiku Furikabutte: Natsu no Taikai Hen episode 6: Abe agreed for a practice game with one of their opponents. He has also decided Mihashi training routine for him: no throwing unless he says so. Mihashi just happy that they are finally communicating. No denying the canon between these two. While others considered Abe as meddlesome, Mihashi took it that he cares about him. It was so obvious. They are going against Kounan and those boys have been practicing hard. The coach looks like he has something up his sleeves. Or was that the Touhei's boys? I'm confused =\

Oh Tajima, you are so made of win =D

I plan to watch as many episodes of Shangri-La today but before that I have to get the anime of the current season over with. I'll start with episode 7 of Level E: While the Color Rangers continue their adventures, the alien teacher is getting worried about the kids who at that moment need to save Princess Baka from the Demon Lord. But he did agree to go with the Demon Lord and thus we got to see their wedding night preparation. I wish I was spared though. The Demon Lord turned out to be good person who wants to defeat Ki as well and thus they found truce and end the trolling. That doesn't stop Ki getting his way in the end though.

Next up if Fractale episode 5: Clain is force to work to earn his place on the ship. Apparently Nessa is on board too but Clain can't see her for some reason. Could be that she hates him now but I doubt it. During the flight, something was wrong and the temperature inside the ship keeps on rising and the autopilot malfunctioned. No one could solved the problem so Clain steps in (without permission of course) and determined that Nessa was the cause. They ended up playing hide and seek with her. Phryne still being bitchy though and the Temple has finally found her and knows about Nessa as well. Good news is her relationship with Nessa as improved and it seems like everyone is having fun on the ship.

loincloth of the century

Soul Eater Not! chapter 2: Tsugumi, Anya and Meme went to the girls dorm where they meet with few other interesting characters: Kana the fortune teller, Misery the book nerd and Kim the witch. Wasted and useless chapter >>

They all kinda look the same, no?

As I promised myself yesterday, I am gonna start watching as many Shangri-La episodes as I can today. Resuming episode 5: Kuniko found Kunihito at that run down place and decided to investigate. It is suspicious to have a soldier at such place after all. Kuniko then was transferred into the computer world when she sought help from the three old geeks. She found out about Serpent as she's spying on some advance CPU. She also accidentally met Karin from Ishida Finance there. Then there's a crazy mental bitch Sayako who works for Atlas and cutting people up for fun who appeared randomly. Kuniko managed to steal the mimic armor from Kunihito during their "date". At the end of the episode, Karin is threatening the Minister.

Episode 6: Karin offered to destroy the Serpent. Kunihito decided to quit the military because of his negligence in the last episode but got rejected. Instead he was invited to the Moon Palace because Mikuni has taken an interest in him. Looks like there is someone in Atlas who is secretly protecting him. Sayako is confused as to how Kunihito has the same sword as Mikuni. Supposedly he and Mikuni should not meet because it clearly upset Hiruko, another crazy ass bitch. It has something to do with Mikuni being the moon, Kunihito the land and Kuniko the sun. Speaking of Kuniko, she helped to pin-point where the Serpent is hiding but then there's MEDUSA.

Episode 7: Kuniko got arrested by Ryoko. Tomoka followed suit which in my opinion will only further burdened Kuniko. She was being bullied for real and seems like Ryoko likes her too much, she will execute her.

Episode 8: It was the execution day but of course Kuniko managed to escape but those who helped her got shot and killed. She didn't know about this though. Also, Mikuni finally managed to go to the real world because of the eclipse and looks like she's going to meet with Kuniko for the first time. I was happy to know that Kunihiko was pretty bothered by Kuniko executions too.

Episode 9: Momoko-san was captured by the saddist Sayoko. May God have mercy on his transsexual soul. I feel like Ryoko is the really bad guy here. She's haywire. Not a good timing though since Kuniko kinda lost without Momoko and when she found out about Rena, Nao and the others, she lost it completely.

Episode 10: After few days of moping, Kuniko decided to take charge again and officially becomes the leader of Metal Age while Ryoko becomes the Prime Minister of Atlas. Mikuni the first to heard voices in her head and this marks the beginning of a new adventure. Unfortunately, it all goes according to Ryoko's plan.

Episode 11: Kunihito is stranded in a small boat in the middle of the ocean. His ship was attacked by the satellite. No one has idea who caused it. There's this strange boy that appeared in his dream and later on in front of Karin. He is Digma Zero also known as Canary. He's dead according to the files. By the way, the Sun, the Moon and the Land is also known as Digma-1, Digma-2 and Digma-3 respectively. I figured they are experimental child. I wonder what their true purpose is.

Shinryaku! Ika Musume episode 6: Noh Mask Rider came to town but Ika managed to make her looks like the bad guy when she was fighting with the Squi-Devil. She even wear the costume herself and fought Noh Mask Rider. Guess who came forth? The older sister so obviously Ika will lost. In the second stint, turned out Ika is really good with Math so Eiko is trying to learn the tricks from her. Lastly, Ika threatened Nagisa as usual. She was trying to stop Gorou from ruining the only person who's afraid of her. Nagisa thought that everyone has been brainwashed by Ika, Eiko thought Nagisa likes Gorou and so on. Haywire.

Indeed

First Impression: Sukisho

I first heard about this show when chronolynx mentioned it in her/his twitter. What got my attention however is the fact that s/he mentioned BL in the same sentence. Without delay I went looking for it. Basically what I am saying is I am watching this based on my trust in chronolynx and since it's BL I'm willing to tolerate it even if it turned out shit. I tolerated Junjou Romantica so this should be peachy.


Sukisho is obviously about two guys who is hot for each other but that is only the tips of the icebergs. Sora just got out of the hospital after falling down from the school window. He suffered from memory lost. During his absent, his old friend Nao returned and became his new roommate. Nao is bipolar or something. At night he called himself Ran but during the day he's known as Nao. Obviously this made Sora confused. What he doesn't know is, he has a bipolar personality as well named Yoru.

This story is not that simple it seems. They threw in many shits in the first episode and looks like the characters are more than just meet the eyes. At least I won't be disappointed with the characters development by the end of this show.

Sukisho was produced in Spring 2005 by Zexcs. Just with any other yaoi, I don't expect a strong plot or story line. However this show has provided more than what I have expected which is good. The quality of the art and animation were like the rest of the anime produced during those years. In my opinion, the character designs could be the biggest flaw of this show. The manga looks good but when it got animated, they look like just retards with weird hairdo. I don't like the fact that there are too many feminine looking male in the show either. I also think that the production team were trying too hard to make this show has the cuteness value by doing the chibi characters and all that. If you asked me, I would have instructed them to focus on the story instead of coming up with these useless tactics.

>=3

I am not that familiar with the seiyuu but Hikaru Midorikawa and Souuchirou Hoshi were not really outstanding with the characters. The OP was weak as well and I wasn't paying much attention to the BGM because it sounded the same as the other shoujo shit we heard. There's nothing creative about it. At least there was a slight improvement with the ED. I like how fast the track is.

Unless you are a hardcore BL fan like me, it would be wise for you to avoid this one. The only reason I'm going to continue watching this show is the prospect of this:

*squeals*

art & animation 6/10
story 6/10
characters 6/10
sound 7/10
enjoyment 6/10
overall 6/10

Bleach: Chapter 438

Since Ichigo has defeated Evil Mr Porkchop in the last chapter, by right Riruka will have to return him back to normal. Her method to do so however is not the most hygienic. Ichigo was covered with her snot and saliva because she has to sneeze to cancel out her fullbring. Whatever right? That's not funny Kubo -__-

Once he's done with the swastika, the shinigami badge returned to it's original form as well but before it did, looks like it can communicate with Ichigo too. The weird thing is, the voice belongs to Rukia and of course Ichigo recognized her voice anywhere and at any given time. Hmm, this should be very interesting, don't you think? I have been waiting patiently for her to return and make her appearance again and my patience is running thin to be honest, what with the bullshit Kubo threw at us lately.

Ginjou obviously knows what is going on but he decided to play the cunning son of a bitch character which is intriguing. I don't want to know everything in one chapter anyway.

Now lets get back to Inoue. She was about to get raped and killed by some ugly thug. I wasn't really looking forward to this because I know she's going to escape and survive somehow and quite possibly get some character development while she's doing it which is not fair in my opinion because Ulquiorra doesn't get one. Fuck you, Kubo.

But who am I kidding right? All she needs to do is flash her good looks and the thug was defeated >>


The thug got the order to do so from someone else who looks like someone from the Xcutioner club but I can't be too sure. He goes by the name Tsukishima. Like I have said, I believe we have two different sides at the moment. The Xcutioners and the the guy who attacked Ishida are from two different groups.


Ah at least towards the end of the chapter Kubo managed to get me excited. I really want to know who this Tsukishima is. He looks like a nerd, a good looking nerd at that with a darker side thus enough to make me a fan ^_^

Super Junior Super Show 3 is coming to Malaysia

Remember this post? A lot has happened since then. Back when I posted that post, I hardly know anything about the boys and at that time they all look the same to me. That is no longer the case. I have been obsessing about these boys after I saw this music video. It's You was the second single for their 3rd Album: Sorry, Sorry.

Eunhyuk was great ^_^

Once again, it all comes down to their dance moves. I mean that music video was a straight cut and the dances were pretty elaborated and they amazed me with their coordination. I'm more than impressed. I has become a fangirl.

But that didn't happened until January came though. That was when I found out that they were coming down to Singapore for Super Show 3. I nagged all my friends to accompany me to see the concert but my friends sucks. It's either they can't afford the ticket or their spouses won't let them go. It was moment like those that makes me glad I am unattached and is free to fucking do whatever I want. While I was stressing out about the concert, I found out that they are going to Malaysia in March and I was more than determined to go.

So I have been plotting on how to get the tix on the pre-sale day (which was last Saturday, February 19). You see, fangirl/boy are scary especially the ELF (see footnote). In Singapore, the tickets were sold out in one and a half hour during the pre-sale. They even overnight at the ticket launching place. That was hardcore.

I am not that crazy though but I was still worried about the long queue and getting myself a good seat so I did went an hour early and fuck the line was looooonnngggg. I learned the night before that the organizer will have a special queue for those with the Saranghaeyo Korea Club (SKC) card. It just so happened that I was queuing behind a bunch of girls who have that cards. Since I will be going to the concert alone and all, I stroke a conversation with them and asked if I could joined them for the concert. They readily agreed and that solved my problem. I no longer need to queue and just wait for them to come back with my ticket. It took me less than an hour ^_^. Some who has been queuing since 5am only got their tickets at 3pm or so. Jeebus...

Fucking Yosh!!

Turned out that those girls are ELFs as well so I would like to personally thanks Elf Ila, Elf Nurul and Elf Fiedza for helping me out with the ticket. I can't wait to see you guys at the concert.

In the mean time, I am going to continue with my obsession and shared my fan squealing moments with my sister who is green with envy that I will be going to Super Show 3. She wanted to go but her daughter is breastfeeding so obviously she can't neglect a child for the sake of SuJu. LOL if it was me, I totally can. Buahahaha

But anyway, there is less than a month before March 19 comes. Needless to say, I am stoked beyond words. Also, Super Junior M released their new music video two days ago. Here it is though I'm not a fan of the Mandarin version >>


I went to several concert before but this is the first concert that I actually took the trouble to go buy the ticket myself. Usually I just either bought online or asked my friend to buy it for me. I guess, in actuality I know I don't have much of an option. I know the online tix available would be for those lousy/restricted view seats and I couldn't possibly ask my friend to queue up for me. The experience was great.

Now all I need is my Sapphire Blue stick. If any ELF is reading this, please help guide me on how to get one for the Super Show 3. By the way, I hope Siwon is feeling better already and thank you RITS for organizing this concert for us fans ♥

footnote: ELF is an abbreviation for Ever Lasting Friends. They are the hardcore fans of Super Junior. They have been around since the group debuted and once you are an ELF, there is no turning back.

Bleach: Chapter 437

Another late entry for Bleach chapter because I had to work outstation again last week and even though this time around I have means to get on the internet, I couldn't spare a time to read and write my thoughts about it.

A little recap: Ichigo managed to trigger his shinigami badge and it materialize into some sort of a swastika thingy which I found very cool and it would be awesome if he gets that kind of weapon instead of the usual zanpaktou.


Here's the logic according to Ginjou: For every battle that Ichigo fought, he carved the memories of said battle into the badge every time he was in contact with it and hence the badge remembers it as well. Sounds weak as shit but meh at least it kinda make some kind of sense. I am also happy that it remains as a swastika thingy though admittedly Ichigo will need some training to use it's potential to the fullest.

As expected, once he got the fight going, Ichigo immediately got hold of the situation and have no problem accessing the fight calmly. He really does shine in the midst of a battle I guess. I can feel him having fun.


The bad news is: he kinda use the same kind of trick. Even though Zangetsu has changed form, the basic is still the same so to kick Evil Mr. Pork Chop, he used Getsuga Tenshou. Urgh... why am I feeling so disappointed. Fuck you Kubo for being one lazy ass brotherfucker. Can't you think of something different? Jeebus!

And at the other side of the town, some punk threatened to kill Inoue. I thought he was there to confessed her crush or something but killing Inoue sounds good too.

We will either see Inoue kicking his ass (and thus Kubo shows us Inoue's character development) or we got one of the shinigami to help her (I going to say... Rukia just because).

At least we have something to look forward to in the incoming chapter.

Diary of a tard: Week 3, February 2011

Wednesday, February 16

Watching Level E: I found it is hard to explain this show in words. I feel like you have to see everything yourself to help you understand how good this show is. But anyway, since this is my diary, I'm obligated to try and explain what is going on. Episode 5 is about Color Rangers. Ki kidnapped 5 kids and gave them power through wristband. I love how they transformed unwillingly.

Thursday, February 17

Star Driver episode 13: Benio came to Sugata's house and asked for a Kendo match. Obviously Takuto ended up as her opponent and obviously Benio tried to make him hers. She even stole a kiss from him while he was sleeping. Thankfully her first phase didn't work anymore and it was revealed that she actually loved Sugata. Heh, she's not the only one. Benio lost her cybody but took a risk and piloted another one. Bloody hell, she even got her clan mark back. Without wasting any time, she challenged Tauburn and lost. Jeebus... and because she lost, she's in love with Takuto now. WTF

so cute =3

Level E episode 6: Continued from the last episode of Color Rangers. The kids went to Yamagata to challenge Craft so they can get the key that can free them from the wrist devices. They managed to do that by telling Ki the name of the girl they like but Ki has other plans for them. He threw them to a RPG planet where they have no choice but to use the wrist band again. As expected they got hooked and leveled up. Now they are headed to the castle to find out why the king is not feeling well and hoping to beat Ki's ass. TBC

The hairy balls grossed me out
