Kurogane's Anime Blog

Noe-chan, the server that I’m hosted on, is in dire need of funds infusion within the next 24 hours or it’ll be shut down.

To that end, Noe-chan’s owner, mellow_bunny is running a Donate or Die campaign for people to save their himegimis so please head over to Mellowspace to help rescue them and keep my blog alive!

Any amount, donated sincerely, will do. Even one euro will be a big help towards keeping Noe-chan alive until the 20th February. All donations will receive my eternal thanks and appreciation as well as the satisfaction of saving your most beloved himegimi! Donators will also be entered in a lucky draw to win Paprika and Tekkon Kinkreet on DVD as well as a Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS A3 Poster Set by Collateral Damage Studios.

UPDATE: Oh wow, in less than 10 hours you guys help donated 175 euros to save your himegimis (with one killed LOL). Thanks a lot guys (and girls too), now Noe-chan’ll be safe till next month :).

I so want one.

In other words, Maria+Holic’s OP is kinda stuck in my head. It’s that combo of awesome animation sequence and crazy lyrics again. Not to mention Kobayashi Yu can actually sing. Even plus her crazy screaming too.

Seconded, Kanako-kun, seconded ;_;.

And why is it that I enjoy Kanako’s internal commentary so much? Is it because I’m thinking the same damn thing myself too? We would’ve been really good friends, Kanako….

Lastly, that was some really creative karaoke SFX gg did there. Possibly one of the best ones I’ve seen in a fansub for a while now.

UPDATE: Oh wow, just found this in the episode…

Fatina~~♥! She’s oh-so-cute. Too bad she’ll probably get shafted again :(.

Also, Coopa?! Wearing glasses?! Holy shiet.

And Gonzo… what’s with the eyerape of Lady Amina’s bath scene =.=;;;;

Fuck yeah best chapter of Negima for the past two months! You’ll see why after the jump.

The chapter starts off with a bit of Rakan background info….

… and as you can see, the bastard’s practically a one-man army. And Negi’s gonna go up against him. This is something like suddenly facing the level 999 final boss when you’ve just reached level 50 after a fuck ton of grinding. Ouch Negi.

Kitamura finally reaches his rebellious phase. But the way he does it is just… how should I put it? Really cute?

I mean.. dyeing your hair blond? Oh man that’s just so old, it’s hillarious.

Awesome yuri anime is awesome. I already read the manga, but damn the anime rocks as well too. Truthfully, I’ve already watched the initial raw, the preairing and the subs so this really isn’t a first impression… but damn, Maria+Holic is awesome.

Kobayashi Yu is sure doing a fucking good job at Maria too, alternating between Mariya’s facade and true personality so naturally, it scares me. Combined with the fact that she’s pretty… err… “unique” in real life too. This is truly a role made for her.

Finally… Inoue Marina’s Matsurika is fucking hawt, and she’s already my number 1 Maria+Holic girl.

Wow, this show kinda rocks. I was watching for Nana Mizuki, but this is definitely much more better than I expected it to.

The RideBack concept’s pretty interesting and I like it quite well. Ballet-dancing motorcycles for the win?

Also I have no basis whatsoever for this but I had vibes of the Nekomi Uni Motor Club while watching this. Maybe because “motorbikes = Kosuke Fujishima” is imprinted in me hurr.

Nana Mizuki voices another Ogata this season. I kinda jumped in my seat when I saw the ANN’s credit list. “Ogata Rina” and “Ogata Rin”. Heck, one’s a singer/idol while the other’s a dancer too. LOL

Romi Paku in female role too, although her character seems rather masculine har har har.

Gotta say, the art quality is really QUALITY, but at the least the humor’s still in top notch. This episode seriously had me laughing out loud.

In this episode of Okaeri; Angel and Devil Chiaki….

I’m surprised. Gonzo is truly going nuts with the plot now. Backstabbing, betrayal and deaths abound. I can’t believe that idiot President really died. Even showed us the body accompanied by an insert song too. Surprisingly Kouichi hasn’t powered up yet, he’s still getting his ass whooped by the hero-class characters.
