First Impression: Hataraku Maou-sama!

In the preview, I already put this show in my anishit list. The kind of comedy portrayed in the synopsis is never really what I look for in anime.  So I'm gonna watch this with that knowledge in mind and perhaps I will be biased towards this shit. I do hope that they managed to prove me wrong though just so that I can feel that joy of watching anime with good honest humor.

And guess what, it is rare that an animu can proved me wrong. This show however, did it. The start of the first episode already grabbed my attention with the blood and killing and what not. Then comes the characters who look so badass and then so normal few minutes later but the transition was smooth and was explained in quite satisfactory details that it suddenly made sense.

Maou and his servant Ashiya are demons. Maou is the Lord Satan. They were forced to retreat by Hero Emi and swear to seek revenge. When Maou opened the portal, it somewhat brought them to Japan and their badass personas were gone, replaced by human-like form. Well at least Maou looks like a delicious shouta so you won't hear me complaining about that XD

I like the fact that the show showed how they tried to get used to this world. The foreign language made me LOL and from then on, it was good all over.

Having said that, I'm not sure about Hero Emi just yet. I hope she won't ruined this show too much.

I am glad I decided to check out all the anime before dismissing it. It's when you enjoy a show that you have no hopes or expectations for that made all the difference.

This show is getting an upgrade. It is no longer in the anishit list.

Diary of a tard: Week 2, April 2013

Tuesday, April 9

K episode 5: Every time I see Kuro, I feel like slapping him with a dead fish. How the fuck can he be so nonchalant. I'm so disappointed in him. As the red and blue team go to the school to find Yashiro, he, Kuro and Neko go out of the school to buy some fireworks. The episode gets far more interesting when Fushimi looking for a fight with Yata and actually did fight only to be interrupted by Seri. After that fight, I am not a fan of Fushimi anymore. Anyhoo, none of them managed to find Yashiro and turned out he is not a student at the school at all.

oh but that megane... hhhnnngggh :3

Episode 2 of Karneval: They have identified the bad guy as Varuga. They want Nai, as do Circus. Thankfully Yogi/Circus managed to get to them first though they didn't give up trying to get Nai. Karoku is still alive though he looks like he was injured or something. I still can't remember whether he's a bad guy or not. It's good that I can't remember shit though, making watching the anime somewhat more enjoyable since I don't know what to expect.

First Impression: Shingeki no Kyojin

This show is produced by Production I.G. That is enough reason for me to check this out. Besides, reading the synopsis at MAL, it seems like the kind of shows that Production I.G. is good at producing so this ought to be somewhat satisfying. Well, at least I hope so.

And after 24 minutes of sitting here watching the show, I have only two words to say: HOLY FUCK.

Kudos Production I.G. Kudos.

They managed to produced some REALLY GOOD SHIT in one episode of anime. It was mind blowing experience. So good man, so good.

I refused to spoil anything in this first impression post. This show deserved to be watched and appreciated, not read.

It is now in my MUST WATCH list for this season.

First Impression: Date A Live

This could be the first harem show of the season for me. I have never been kind with harem show and I have a feeling that I might end up raging a lot watching this first episode of Date A Live. But lets not jump to conclusion. Let's go prove that I am right, shall we?

(c) Mishima Kurone

Well... technically I wasn't wrong. It has not turned out as I expected it to be. There isn't any harem to begin with, well at least not obvious harem but there is some flying girls with big swords and big guns. I was totally at lost.


As always, the stupidest male gets to be the protagonist of the show and surrounded by females of different boobs size. Goes to show that world is not fair, even in animu. Somehow his younger sister is a commander of a battle ship that fought or try to eliminate spirits that common people thought was spacequake.

Yeah, stupid as fuck.

Which mean I won't be watching the rest of the show.

Having said that, the assistant commander, that masochist guy, made me LOL'd.

First Impression: Karneval

I know of this series through the manga. The manga is full of bishies so naturally as a fujoshi it quickly becomes one of my favorite manga to read until the day came when I stopped reading manga because I was too busy. So somewhat the series was forgotten. So I'm glad that they decided to make an anime out of it!

(c) M 0514

Well, that feeling of glad doesn't lasted very long. Half way through the first episode I was at lost. I blame it all on myself because I cannot remember anything that I've read from the manga. The only thing I remember are the characters and Circus. Other than that, nada.

So, I feel a little bit disappointed at the show as well at myself. I have high expectation for this show but it didn't satisfy me at all. Having said that I am still gonna watch this. I am sure that it can only get better from here onwards.

By the way, Gareki is  my favorite character when I read the manga. I remember him being more aloof in the manga though.

That's about all I can say from watching this first episode of Karneval. Not much, huh? Not even a rant.

First Impression: Red Data Girl (RDG)

My first impression gonna be short and simple. The reasons for that are easy. I don't have much time and I rather spend my time watching anime than blogging but I'm doing these first impression posts nonetheless because I need a reference and a reminder of what shows I've seen, what shows worth the watch or which one should be in my anishit list.

You see, I'm writing this post for selfish reasons and I'm OK with it.

Like I've said in my preview, P.A. Works often produced good shows and their animations are somewhat always seem flawless. Red Data Girl (RDG) is no exception. It got me intrigued in the first minute of the show which is quite a feat to do for anime these days.

So far I like how it's developing. That tsundere male protagonist will somewhat spoiled the show for me but it's alright since he's a shouta and a bishie at that. Also, there are other bishies to look forward to so it's all good.

Besides that shallow reasoning, I like the fact that they don't just spilled the beans with Izumiko. I like the fact that she's still somewhat a mysterious female protagonist in this first episode. Aside from her destroying the computers in the lab, I can't really tell for sure what her power is yet.


By the way, can I have a manservant too? Please? =3
