Yamada-san just had the time of her life…

Well.. title says it all. Miwako-san sugoi~~.

So, moving out of the resolution of the Mayama x Rika arc, the story is slowly going over to the other characters and perennial favourite Morita-senpai gets his character development. His brother really cracked me up this time, but I’m extremely curious on what is truly happening.

Meanwhile, Takemoto is also still staying on course with his love for Hagu-chan and ambition to help the temple repair team, even to the point of starving to achieve it.

As for Yamada-san’s ending soliloquy this episode…. let’s just say it was extremely touching… and Je t’aime is one of the best Hachikuro insert songs ever.

Next up seems to be a Morita and Hagu focused episode.

Top wo Nerae II’s final episode release date and Hellsing Ultimate OVA II’s release date has been announced to be on the 25th of August. Double celebration for me on that day, and so will the otaku-dom as well.

Trailer for Hellsing Ultimate II, Make A Raid available on streaming video here, while preview for Top wo Nerae II 06 can be downloaded here.

HARII HARII HARII!!!!

Sheer words just really fail me now, that I’ve just marathoned the whole series at once. Never before have I ever came close to drowning in pure kawaiiness and moéness… every one should watch this series once before they die, life just feels so complete now that I’ve known about the wonders of Yurieism.

The best way to describe Kamichu! for me is that it’s like watching Spirited Away only without the angst and with an extremely nice shot of moé that is just too perfect. I absolutely love the amount of detail that Aniplex has put in to this production, making it worthy of the Best Animation award it received.

Kamichu’s humour is the best to date for me, with it not being too over-the-top yet falling flat. Best scene must go to episode 4′s “Exclusive Self-Defense Policy” that Yurie-sama invoked in episode 4. Now I’ll know what to do if a bunch of soldiers surround me in Japan. Tama-chan is also a freaking riot, with the running joke in the series of her “abilities” being slowly discovered by Shoukichi. Besides, where else can you find a cat that’s not only just a cute pet, but also a poverty god, fighter and washes dishes as well?!

Truly deserves it’s award, a second season and more Miko-chan as well. Cutest _miko imouto-chan_ ever!

By now, word should be all around that the new Nanoha project announced is a Hayate OVA. Which is good for me, since I think development wise, Fayt and Nanoha are pretty much done enough. What I seriously wanted to see is more Hayate and her _kishidan-tachi_. Hayate x Viita x Signum 4TW!

Seriously, I hope there’ll be some real kickass action from Hayate-chan this OVA. We only got a teaser glimpse of her powers in the 2nd last episode of A’s, and it does seem she has the potential to rival the “White Devil” herself. It would be like having chocolate cake without the chocolate if that doesn’t happen :P.

I will forever worship them if they manage to slip in a Hayate cosplay-raping the _kishidan_ ala Chiyuri style.

Extra post, just because Signum is too awesome…

Hayate/Stay Night

Spot the real Syaoran!

OMFG! PLOT TWIST!!!!

Just caught up with the latest chapters of Tsubasa, after stopping halfway through the Piffle Race arc due to lack of sources and disillusionment with the anime. I must say… CLAMP really went crazy this time.

(Spoilers after this)

Oboro screws the twins!!

Best fricking Utawarerumono episode ever. My faith in the twins have not been placed in vain, muahahahahaha.

Continue ->

Is it me, or is Full Metal Panic getting more and more moé with every medium adaptation it gets?

Let’s see, in the original Owaru Day by Day novel, the assassin twins under Gauron were 2 guys and were pretty much cannon fodder. However, KyoAni, being KyoAni, changed those two to become the infamous twincest couple in The Second Raid and like totally made a new moé zokusei for us otakus. And now, reading up on the manga version, FMP! Sigma…. OMFG! The mangaka made the twins gothloli as well….. /intense nosebleed/.

Gothloli Twin 1?

Gothloli Twin 2?

Not only that, the manga also makes Blueno, the Mithril traitor a sexy bitch and a lesbian nontheless, for maximum impact. So we get this abosuletely hawt scene of Mao almost engaging in girl on girl action.

Mao sexx0red.

I so need to get more of the gothloli twincests. They were the hawtest thing in The Second Raid and my god, now they’ve made them gothloli as well… /me overloads.

Oh, and in before “SAUCE!” flood, here(Please note the hyperlink). Kudos to you good people over there.

God… he really is a stalker. I don’t really know whether to be happy or to be scared with him, but well, he did it with good intentions.

So, for the Mayama x Rika fans, this is _the_ episode. Finally, Mayama makes his move to Rika and confronts her about her intentions to die after completing all of Harada’s projects. Hopefully, he did made Rika change her mind for real (she could’ve faked the email, since ol’ Mayama revealed his stalker self :), and I hope for a good ending between those two.

Rika’s past is revealed a little here, like how she had a dog, and she might’ve probably suffered as a child, based on what Harada says(or it’s a mistranslation). It’s only a small assumption though, and I might probably be wrong.

Hanamoto-sensei’s past is also told a little as well, basically touching on why Moon River became Rika’s favourite song, and how he and Rika dealt with Harada’s death. It is quite correct that he was something like a third wheel in their group and I was quite shocked at his revelation that he almost tried to push Rika off a building, explaining why they rarely see each other.

Next, we jump back to Yamada and Nomiya again. It seems that J.C. Staff will be resolving all the threads with this 13 episodes.

Operation Save Our Springfield is put in to action this chapter, with some interesting developments :).
