Saimoe 2007 Quarterfinal Match 3

10月28日 古手梨花＠ひぐらしのなく頃に [ Furude Rika @ Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ]
10月28日 ルイズ・フランソワーズ・ル・ブラン・ド・ラ・ヴァリエール＠ゼロの使い魔 [ Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière @ Zero no Tsukaima ]

Am I the only one who thinks that Kazumi is going “YAPPARI KOROSU!!!” inside her during this scene? Oh heck, the Shana-tan specials for this season is so going to be filled with major LULZ. Heck, I think they could go do a full episode or two out of it, just by using the material available in the first 4 episodes.

Well, not much to say about this episode. Yuji’s harem master fate is proceeding as usual, but he should really learn how to read between the lines. God, how bloody insensitive can one be? Even poor ol’ Yoshida-chan is almost going yandere soon, if this carries on. But seriously, LOL HECATE is LOL.

I wonder… potential Ren’ai Doumei between Shana and Yoshida? Both of them have seriously recognized the threat of LOL HECATE already.

The jealous duo.

She speaks of the truth, as sad as it is.

A neko-meido Himari is fine too.

Damn, I want more Omamori Himari ;_;.

Yay! The Fuko nose trick!

Funniest episode up till now. Kyo(u)Ani still hasn’t lost their touch.

I know what you guys are all thinking now…

Ah yes, Ninomiya-kun is the “cup noodle” anime of this season. Even though you know it’s cheap and probably bad for health in large amounts, but you really can’t stop loving that “cheap” flavor it has. This analogy probably works more for poor university students though…

A happy Matsuri always makes my day.

Yay! It’s finally done!

The final DVD special for sola is basically an episode detailing on what happens to everyone right before the series begins, set roughly around the 2 days before the main series starts.

Nothing much really happens, apart from seeing more of everyone going on with their daily lives, so I don’t feel like summarizing it. Just wait for Lunar to finally sub this episode and complete my sola collection.

Well, to be honest, I’m a bit disappointed it wasn’t as interesting as the first DVD omake and it neither really offered much of development to any of the characters other than to expand on their original characteristics, although Yorito’s sora-con is painfully evident in this episode. I’ll not be surprised if he jerks off to his ceiling…

Also, we find out how Matsuri gets her money… apparently she, uh, “recycles” old books she finds in the church. I’m pretty sure that’s not actually allowed… but maa~~~

A short clip from the first HiguKai DVD APPEND Disc. Basically, it depicts and hints of adult Rena being an insurance agent, and trying to sell it to Oiishi-san.

God, that was so LOL.

In before; “Sana is a RORIKON!!!”

Ah yes, the token loli character of Pronouns is introduced this episode, Mochida Hinako, and yes, she is 10 years old, not a “16-but-looks-like-11″ character.

Ah yes, fansubber dorama. DarkMirage isn’t a newcomer to this, and I will say I agree with his post and most of its contents. In fact, I did download the .ass of Nyoro~n’s Gundam 00 01, and that itself already contained many hilarious mistakes, that even I, who don’t possess a shiny JLPT 1, noticed.

I’ve had the good fortune to have not touched any Gundam 00 speed subs ever since then, but meh, I guess this issue provided some pretty good insights on to the perspectives of the fansubbing scene. While I will admit that every one who has the motivation to produce a sub deserves respect, but it doesn’t mean that the subber is free from responsibility of admitting his mistakes, so I’m glad to see that the subber at Nyoro~n has acknowledged his mistakes although he initially defended himself. At the least this mistake didn’t almost trigger another war.

Oh, and Graham is definitely giving off a real homosexual vibe, even w/o the missubbing by Nyoro~n.

Comments are closed, since I’m just lazy to deal with more dorama.
