Kurogane’s Anime Blog

A much more serious episode compared to the previous fanservice-laden ones, expanding the plot more and confirming in a few titbits.

Just picked this news up over at Anime News Network.

NTT Data Creates Cardcaptor Sakura Linux (2005-11-16 19:36:43) :
NTT Data recently held a press conference announcing Tomoyo Linux, known as Sakura Linux during its development stages. Related to the project they have created a Syaoran file system and Cerberus certification system. All the names are names of important characters from Cardcaptor Sakura.

Good to see that there’s much otaku’s around in the ranks of Japanese programmers. Undoubtably, combining anime and programs together would be such a perfect marketing strategy as I once tried to establish in a post at my old blog.

It’s also actually quite funny and coincidental I find, because I named my 3 partitions as Syaoran, Sakura and Kurogane :).

(bad raw, so lack of caps. Will upload later, when I get the HQ ones ^_^)

This 4chan thread wins.

Admittedly…. one of the better episodes in all of the seven out now but still… for some reason, I don’t really like it that much mostly for what I’ve mentioned in my Mushishi 04 post, is that their characters are just too shallow and boring most of the time.

Seriously Ayaka was such a sucky and stereotypical character, I just don’t even feel like watching her. I was just sooo hoping for Ai-chan to drag her to hell down ASAP. She totally sucks at acting, my God. I do wonder if her mom was half blind when she chose her for her … errm.. “acting skills”. For god’s sake, I can act much more better than her.

But anyways, the upside was the revelation on Jigoku Tsuushin system, which confirms some of my thoughts that anyone can use it, wheather they really need it or not or they deserve it themselves. Also the devious nature of the Jigoku Tsuushin group is revealed here, as whatever it is, they’re not going to interfere in anyways and just act as watchers, seeing how they let Kaoruko lose her voice and then finally letting her become the contractor in the end. I have a faint feeling that Kaoruko didn’t went through the website, and Ai-chan directly approached her, but still it’s a theory. This episode firmly establishes what Ai-chan said in Episode 06 about her role.

Besides that, we also get to see Ai-chan in something else other than her kimono and joushikousei outfit, which was personally my best part of the episode ^_^. But the art is still kinda funny , meh.

This is apparently the recruitment ad for the Japanese Navy (Flash Player needed).

Just. Watch.

Byakuya uses his bankai. Ichigo uses his bankai. They fight. Done. Just go watch, not much to summarise anyways.
