Currently Airing Anime

OMFG, I LOVE YOU. That single handedly made my day.

You're very welcome, good sir. Anyone who appreciates that great scene deserves it.

Ga-Rei -Zero- 11:
Tsuchimiya-dono was pretty good at controlling the Byakuei and fighting Yomi at the same time. Aayame's wheel chair and gatling gun leg thing was pretty bad ass too.

I can't wait to see Kagura use the Byakuei.

Clannad ~After Stroy~ 12:
Yoshino's back story was pretty interesting and it reminded me of Tomoya's father. It was really annoying to watch Tomoya yelling and cursing his father while his father just sat there smiling.

The Winter 2008/2009 season comes out in a few days .

I am looking forward to:
Maria-sama ga Miteru 4
Maria Holic
Zoku Natsume Yuujin-chou

ToraDora ep13: Great episode. I'm glad Ryuuji finally saw the true side of Taiga's father. I can't believe he was so clueless and stupid about it before... Made me mad. It also looks like Minori and Ryuuji are gonna get together soon, too. I'm really interested in seeing what they're like together.

[SPOILER=Don't open if you don't want spoilers from the light novels]
Yes, Minori and Ryuuji do get together, but it doesn't last once Minori finds out Taiga's feelings about Ryuuji. Quite a bit happens on/around Valentine's Day that really (finally) brings Taiga and Ryuuji together.

I'll be following
Asu no Yoichi [God, we are so pineappleing behind in scanlating this...]
The Tower of Druaga ~Sword of Uruk~ [OH MY GOD wtp AT THE ENDING OF AEGIS OF URUK]
Akikan! [OMG SODA CANS HAVE NEVER LOOKED SO MOE]
The Girl Who Leapt Through Space
Kurokami
Maria+Holic
Sora wo Miageru Shoujo no Hitomi ni Utsuru Sekai [Long enough title for you?]
White Album [Maybe]

Most other things are sequels to things I haven't watched. =/ Or just don't interest me in general.


I was hoping for ef to be out for Christmas but alas =(

I actually watched the first episode of Zettai Shougeki ~Platonic Heart~ [OVA bottom right]. It disgusted me. Sekirei + poor production company/team + worse story.

Maybe I'll watch that Negima OVA. Should be better than the anime since it completely ignores it and has a different studio.

Soul Eater 38: Okay episode. Kid's symmetrical obsessions are getting stretched a bit thin. Major parties are moving next time though, so it should get better. But, subs are getting harder to find.

Toradora 13: What a bastard. So he just uses Taiga as an excuse to break up with his girlfriend or something? Anyway, Minorin is back to her crazy ways and that's always fun. So much foreshadowing for Taiga with her downcast eyes. And, she seems to be actively deluding herself to uphold her belief that she liked Kitamura. Lol at Ryuuji acting "delinquent." It would have been cool if he just nodded at Minorin's request and kept going to Taiga, but I guess they wanted to start their relationship now.

ef ~ a tale of melodies 12:
Beautiful.

 Major spoilers I guess

pineapple. I cried when Yuuko said "You mean you 'loved' me".

Chaos;Head ep12: Yay it's over! Besides the horrible animation throughout the entire series, I'd say the biggest downfall to this adaptation was how they frickin' pansied out. They included very few gruesome scenes and the ones they did were toned down BIGTIME. There was barely any blood... Some of the best scenes were left out...

Oh well. Instead we got MOAR giant insects, a retarded scene with the river (wth?) and a terrible final battle with Norose. The only good thing about the final episode was Takumi's delusion with all the girls. Sena's tsundere for Takumi. Lol <3

Kurosh'itsuji eps 9-10: Yay Shinsen got more subs out! Awesome episodes (especially 10)! I still wish this was more of a serious series than a comedic one, but it's great, nonetheless. The scene with Sebastian loving the kitty was SOOO CUTE. LOL I want an entire series of Sebastian + cats. Please... I hate that stupid demon dog (Plu Plu? lol...). The end of 10 has some great foreshadowing of things to come.

Subs for 11-12 now please!

Casshern Sins ep13: HECK YES. Best episode yet. New pre-OP scene, BRAIKING BOSS, Casshern killing himself and a new ED. AND the ep14 preview shows more Dio, Leda and Braiking. YES!

Chaos;head 12: Hooray for happy ending! The only scene that was good was the harem delusion. I actually thought for a moment that they may actually go that route and have everything as a flashback; it might even be fitting considering what they've been doing. I lol'd at the whose eyes are those eyes on his way up.

Why did they waste time and slash at the bugs if Ayase can take them all in one hit? Whatever happened with Seira? They didn't even bother showing him defeat Seira. Why blue goo?

The river and Shibuya underground reminded me of The World Ends with You, so that wasn't that bad, but I wonder why they want to add random things like that.

Edit: I almost forgot, but one thing that really annoyed me was how they ripped lines from the VN, but never bothered to actually incorporate into the story or animation. Maybe some were just the subbers' fault, but I don't think it's just a coincidence if it happened so many times.

Chaos;head 12:lololololol. Seira scene was fail. Bugs are fail. Norose fight was fail. At least they brought the anal stake in. Too bad they didn't use a lot of mutilating. Probably all censorship and whatever. Chaos;head Noah is probably censored to no end as well. Bringing in the other characters to help in the final fight was just some pathetic attempt to make them feel like they played a bigger part in the story since less was explored in their rush. That, and despite the stupid-ness of how it turned out, it actually helps the story that they have a contributing force as being gigalomaniacs compared to the VN where they just did absolutely nothing. coughyuacough. I feel they did the whole [Yes/No] part at the end pretty well, but the final cut where he's laying in the rubble was fail. And then they look up at the sky and Super Special starts playing. LOL. Desire Blue Sky was an amazing ending theme. Should have just played a cut of that. Haritsuke no Misa karaoke background was good during the fight though.

00 SOON!

Maria+Holic 01 is out, has anyone watched it? Only version I see online is an HD .mkv =/ (comp's too crappy currently to see)

EDIT:
Gundam 00 S2 13: Shield bits are fucking broken. Expected it to end on a much more epic note since there's no new episode next week.

Kannagi 13: EPIC. SEASON 2 PLX.
This is a great face:

 Major Episode Ending Spoilers

Just because the whole "girl trips wearing a towel, guy catches her, falls on top of her towel falls off" is cliche doesn't mean it ain't fucking awesome.

Gundam 00 S2 ep13: HECK YEAH! Nena helping CB just to piss on Liu Mei's plans. LOL Awesome!! I demand more of that, plus Nena dying some awesome death before the end. I like her, but I know I'll love her dying, too. <3 Dang, this entire episode was great. Wait...except for the HOLY QUALITY scene with Saji and Marie (seriously guys, did you see their noses?? LOL). I already deleted the episode or I would totally go back and screencap. That was TERRIBLE. Haha

Kannagi ep13 (finale): Eh, is it bad this series really does nothing for me anymore? I started feeling pretty meh towards it a few episodes ago... The finale was good, yeah, but I was more so waiting for the episode to be over than enjoying it. The best part was Tsugumi going insane at the end (I lol'd as she hit head on both sides of the door haha).

I dunno, maybe it's because I spoiled way too much of the story already. This first season ended up disappointing me because it was too short and didn't get to any of the awesome parts that happen later on. Plus who the heck knows what's gonna happen to the story, anyways, with the mangaka still recovering. I'm sure they'll at least make a season 2, though (plenty more to cover yet).

I'll give this series a meh for now... If it wasn't for Tsugumi and Takako being so frickin' sexy and awesome, I doubt I'd even like this series based on the first season.

Ga-Rei: Zero ep12 (finale): ...
HECK.
YES.
Now this is anime done right. Holy...frick. I'm still wearing goosebumps from that finale. If that wasn't one of the most beautiful finales ever, it was surely one of the most beautiful anime episodes ever. I loved it. The music and scenes between Kagura and Yomi was amazing. Yomi...wow, I love her. One of my favorite anime characters. I usually delete my anime when I'm done watching it, but I am hanging on to this forever. <3

It's a pity the manga does very little for me. :/ I want more Ga-Rei...but with this Yomi prequel story over with...nothing can please me...

Anyways. WHO ELSE IS PSYCHED FOR THE NEW 00 OP BY STEREO PONY?
[YOUTUBE]w2eHBLJPyDU[/YOUTUBE]
The video isn't the actual sequence. OP animation is fan-made. Song is the one they will be using for the OP according to various sources (ANN to be specific).

Kannagi 13: There's a second season? Awesome. Tsusgumi going crazy was incredibly well done and a nice touch as the end. Her speech to Jin earlier seems to be in the style of Takako, so I wonder about that. I really didn't like Nagi's crying scene. That sort of crying was part of what made me drop Clannad Afterstory (although Clannad's was worse).

Ga-Rei Zero 1-12: I picked this up after I finished NHK last week, and it was pretty good. The last two episodes, especially 11, gave me a bunch of "holy pomegranate" moments and that's cool. And wow, so many characters dying. I still have no idea what happened the first episode though. Are they important somewhere? And, what's with the flashbacks of that guy in the Defense's team about the white-haired kid? Yomi had like the same flashback, and I don't know what's that for. I am very surprised that the white-haired kid didn't get killed, but I guess this is just the prequel. I'm also wondering about how Byakuei got transferred to Kagura so easily since her father needed a long ritual to tame it. It may be easier because he was still alive and bound to Byakuei, but she just took the gem and that's it? Anyway, I read the first chapter of the manga but I can't really go to manga after seeing the action in the anime. Apparently Yomi makes a return but there doesn't seem to be the big internal conflict anymore.

No idea, really. I was hoping they'd explain some more about the first episode cast (mainly his flash back and Yomi's relation to them), but they didn't at all. Maybe I missed something somewhere...? I think the first episode was just to build the destruction, tension and capture viewers' attention. It seems like a waste of cool story and characters to me, though.

And yeah, the manga is pretty boring to me. I can't stick to it.

Ga-Rei Zero 12:
OH MY FUCKING GOD. That was an amazing ending. I am always amazed at the weapons and fight scenes - especially the battle between Kagura and Yomi. Overall I really enjoyed this anime, 9.5/10 in my opinion.

With all that said, I demand a second season... but if I think about it, a second season based off the manga with Yomi being virtually non-existent would be pretty pointless =/.

Kuroshitsuji 09:
The naked dogman thingy annoys me.

Kannagi 13:
I feel kind of disappointed with the ending, I guess I was expecting something to actually happen.

Gundam 00 S2 13:
The battle was cool.

alksdjfalskdjlfskdj GUYS.

Touhou OVA ep1 A Summer Day's Dream: OMG YES. HECK. YES.
You have no idea how happy, sad and angry this makes me.

Happy because it was FRICKIN' AWESOME. Amazing music, gorgeous backgrounds and an INCREDIBLE cast of seiyuus. YES. The character animation was a little less than great at times, but it was still good and more than acceptable for me! It has room for improvement!

Sad because JUST WHEN IT WAS GETTING BEYOND AWESOME, IT SAYS "TO BE CONTINUED..." ;_; WTH? .......... /life

And angry because NOW HOW THE HECK LONG AM I GONNA HAVE TO WAIT FOR EP2? asldkfjaslkdfGAHHH OH and why wasn't Youmu is this episode. HUH? HUH? WHY???

OMG who cares this was awesome, and I'm watching it again tomorrow. I don't care! Overreacting aside, seriously watch this guys. I mean it.

Kannagi
- Gotta love how everyone either loves Nagi or Zange, yet we all seem to like Tsugumi.
- The ending was all right, was kind of hoping for some mahou miko that we haven't seen in forever and a day, or y'know, some more of Nagi herself and not parodying things. [ffff @ that episode where Nagi shuts herself in a closet]
- Kakky is adorable.

Ga Rei -Zero-
- Went from a 10 -> 8 -> 9 after watching the last episode and remembering the manga. I know a lot of people were happy about the director and Kiri-chan, but I would have rather they didn't re-appear. And I hate "blahblahblah after"-like endings.
- Nice to see a role where Chihara Minori actually does this thing called talking where she isn't an annoying little twat. Here's looking to you, Coopa. Also, nice to see Mizuhara Kaoru not speaking about how the lack of meatballs have left her in despair. [SIZE="1"]Who cares about Minorun.[/SIZE]

lol @ all the touhou fags rejoicing all over the world.

It's pretty good, though I'm not sure if it's because it's Touhou or the seiyuu factor. I love the seiyuu that are in it [SIZE="1"]because Kaneda Tomoko is the only seiyuu I loathe[/SIZE], but the only characters whose voices I felt fit the characters were Tanaka Rie as Sakuya and Fujimura Ayumi as Aya.

I loved the Inoue Kikuko joke at the end, which at first I thought was a reference to Tamura Yukari being Yukari. [SIZE="1"]Well, if that happened, dekopeach as Aya could have happened....[/SIZE]

</seiyuufagism>

!

Not ashamed to admit it. ;_;

Sakuya + Rie Tanaka was very awesome. Two of my favorites combined into one character. Orgasmic... What did you have against Mai Nakahara doing Reimu? I was very pleased with that choice, too.

Need...episode 2... And Youmu and Yukari better be appearing soon!

I just imagined Reimu to have a different voice is all. o_o

Touhou OVA ep1 A Summer Day's Dream

...Overreacting aside, seriously watch this guys. I mean it.

Well, I sat through it but it didn't really do much for me. Neither the characters nor the story drew me in. The story is pretty much a generic "filler" material and nothing exciting happened. It made me chuckle a few times but that's it. I also knew nothing about the characters, so I wasn't expecting anything from the characters or disappointed by anything. This kind of reminds me of the only episode of Strike Witches I watched (I actually don't remember why I watched it, but it was a 'filler' right in the middle of the series), where I was just shown a bunch of characters doing stuff that are probably expected from their personality, only I have no clue what their personalities are. I also don't pay attention to the staff, so no points there from me.

Nonetheless, the backgrounds are solid and the music is pretty nice. So, it was okay but nothing spectacular or memorable.

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka 11-12:
Minato is pretty delicious; pajamas and a school swimsuit in one episode .

Pretty good ending for a crappy anime.
