Aquarion EVOL 06

Kurogane Shiroikaze — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:07:11 +0000

Proper mecha fighting episode this week, but it bored the socks off me since it was fully focused on Shrade and his sad sad past. Something about dark Element powers and a weak body, lifelong tragedies etc etc. That part about the dark Element part makes me wonder if he’s gonna be the Sirius of this series, which would be weird if Mikono is really Alicia’s “Light” half. Oh… and apparently that Alicia is still alive and preserved on Altair. *shrug*

Cool insert song after the opening this week though. Poor Andy will never get to Gattai with girls ever… ;_;

Next week looks significantly more interesting. Kimodameshi episode with Zessica? Yeaaaaah.

Dammit, show some restraint, boy! Beach trips, good morning sex and THIS?! It’s too much… I tell you, too muchhhhh!!!!

Also stop being a dumbass and doublecheck the answer sheet after you’re done with it. Missing the answers by a row is a fucking ridiculous mistake to miss.

Shakugan no Shana Final 17

Since this was mainly another transition (read: talking talking talking) episode, have another cap of Shana enjoying food.

Well, the remaining three Gods sure joined in pretty easily and I was actually looking forward to them having some sort of battle (either verbal or physical) before they joined in, but it seems that Centerhill’s last words were enough after all. Then the episode suddenly swerved all the way back to Misaki and Sakai appearing before Yoshida and Eita. Apparently he needs Yoshida’s power to finish Xanadu… which I find weird lol.

Sadly enough, it also confirms that the final battleground will be in Misaki City itself. Looks like we might be seeing some collateral damage…

Hanekawa sure increased her flirting skills from the last season. I laughed like mad when she gave Araragi that “ticket”. Also his accidental exposure too. Man, he should be more careful when there’s guests over. Really liking Hanekawa’s hairstyle and glow this season.

Meanwhile, at the Araragi household….

Isn’t Japan lucky incest isn’t a crime? （*=‿=*）

Ahem, on a more serious note, Kaiki is really a pretty evil bastard. Not only he went serious on a middle school girl, he also freaking stole her money too. Nasty. Yeah, I’d really like to see Koyomi lay the smackdown on him. And Karen should really rely on onii-chan a little more… he’s really looking out for those two.

Also, liking a lot Shinobu becoming the Oshino of the season. Liking it a lot.

Next week… kissing time!

Oh crap.

So…. wow, Ryoko turns out to be the Big Bad as well? I really didn’t expect this, and what’s even more impressive is how she is masterfully hiding it under that veneer of carefree lesbianism. Of course, it’s not explicitly confirmed yet, but same voice? Same hairstyle? That sneaky grin? The barrier power? Can’t be anyone else but her… or her evil twin sister.

Well, this show is really doing a good job throwing out plot twists and character revelations. I’d even say this is becoming the dark horse of the season. While it’s not the Madoka of the year level or anything, this show is definitely shaping up to be something I can look forward to every Friday now.

Also I lol’ed at the explanation that the EU handed over Durandal to the Japanese government in exchange for writing off defaulted loans.

Miketsukami is still so fabulous even when he’s being jealous ^^;;;

Ah, they finally introduced us to the workers in the building, which are almost as quirky as the residents themselves. I particularly found the father and son combo handling the kitchen to be extremely funny. Then of course there is the…

HNNNNNNNGGGGHHH so cute. Plus points for having Aki Toyosaki voice her too.

Poor Ririchiyo.

Speaking of her, of course we have our requisite Ririchiyo fanservice…

Oh, what I’d give to be stick my finger in between her kneesocks and thigh….

And Yukinokouji is such a maniac as usual….

I wonder if they are doing that every day lol. I wouldn’t put it past her!

Can’t wait for nekomimi meido Karuta next week!

Guilty Crown 15

Nooooooooooo not Hare!!!

Well, this episode did live up to its preview. Can’t say I’m surprised about Hare being the one to bite the dust, but the way she did was… pretty heartbreaking, even for the standards of this show. Good one, production team. But man, it sure took them long enough to make this show in to Geass.

And boy, they sure flipped his switch good.

Oh man, that was so wrong.

Seriously, fuck Souta.

Next week on Guilty Crown… “HEIL SHUHRER! SIEG HEIL! SIEG HEIL! SIEG HEIL!”

Not a Shana series without a melonpan, right? I was kinda beginning to feel the lack of it….

Nothing much to say, since this is transition episode, with some characters kind of properly introduced. Well can’t blame the producers since there was a freaking war going on. Mainly a lot of reflection plus Shana leading the way now, providing the rest with a guidepost to follow. I like how Sophie just casually admits they lost badly. Also, why does Marcoh need to be belted in during car trips? Kinda funny isn’t it…

Well, we’ll finally get to meet the three other Gods of the Earth next week, while Bal Masque heads to Japan. I have to say, Shana is getting pretty damn international now lol.

Also, worth mentioning that the 2nd ED now has a proper sequence now and it’s got quite a lot of nice static action shots of the characters.

Hell, even makes me wish they would release an artbook of the ED. Gotta love all the effort they’re pouring in to the show this season.

Just when you think it was safe to recommend this show…

Less boring episode than last week’s, but the girls are really driving me nuts with all the etiquette stuff like “You can’t enter the toilet for one hour after we’ve been in there!” or “I’ll die if my underwear is washed with Uncle’s!” or even “Man, this room isn’t cute.”

Hell, it says something when my current favourite sister is Hina. And she’s three years old! At least she doesn’t burn the house down.

Well, at least there was Raika-san in this week’s episode!

Her monotone is so awesome lol. “Kyaaa. Uso. Raika, cho ureshii”

Yeaaaaaaah even the end card is Raika.
