Many.

13- Ahh, what a powerful episode. Alto’s yelling in the end was just lovely to hear, somehow. Love the RankaAlto moments.
14- Man, Sheryl sucks at piloting, but I thought it was both a funny and cool scene, I guess if it wasn’t for my love for AltoRanka I would like her a bit more. LOL at Luca saying “Nanase-san!” in what could have been his last minutes. I dunno why this episode was funny to me, it was serious but. X3 And take that Sheryl, I loved how he only thought of saving Ranka and she was dissapointed for not receiving a “wait for me” from Alto. Ah, Brera, taking all the credit.

I’ve seen the scene from episode 15 where they sing-fight for Alto, man, I dislike Sheryl so so much with her style of doing it. Another thing that annoys me, and even if Alto ended up with slutty, how they keep comparing Minmei with Ranka. I haven’t watched it, true, so I’m not sure how much similar they are, for the little I’ve seen and heard, Minmei is “moe” as Ranka, if I use the word correctly, but I see a lot more powerful woman in Minmei and Sheryl than Ranka, in their straight-forward way, but since I don’t know Minemi I can’t really comment. Yet, Minmei was for the plot, the other was for the pilot, now, why should it be like that this way as well?? They should have Sheryl sing some Minmei song so that they could compare them. It’s like saying that when they sing What ’bout my star? together, as Sheryl gets sick and all she is going to die in the end and Ranka will win. (yay! haha nah I don’t want Sheryl to die, just to stop being around Alto).

D.Gray-man

I thought it was common knowledge Allen was the 14th, lol. I love Allen’s interaction with his master. Now, obviously, this will lead to a AllenLenalee something.

Air Gear
Can the tournament thing start, please? I’m getting so impatient. …Does the last chapter mean Ikki is all for Simca? I really wanted Ikki/Kururu, and while I don’t want it to be IkkiSimca, I wouldn’t like him with Ringo…but, Kururu! T_T

Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
Aaack, same as Air Gear, it’s getting sort of lame.

I’m also reading Rave Master, and I want to watch Natsume Yuujinchou!

Nabari No Ou // Chapter 47

Filed under: Nabari no Ou

I’ll probably post the pics I’ll refer to, since they are full of cuteness all around.

So, yeah, Miharu/Yoite. We all know they have a deep bond, some will deny it, but I think the manga actually wants to make them canon, and I’ll LOVE that.

Okay, so, basically a chapter where MiharuYoite go on a date spend time together while travelling to Banten. There’s some information regarding Yoite. Ah yes, al-la-Arjuna, he is not a he nor a she, something I don’t know everyone will get but let’s not care about that, since he has the looks of a man. While on the park, Miharu goes to buy drinks and when he comes back, Yoite is being talked to by some stranger. Ok, so Yoite is a killing machine and Miharu could have get in the way because of his antisocial manner, but he looked pretty annoyed and sat in the middle. -and before, he stared and stared and stared at Yoite-.

Ah, I didn’t understand what was Yoite holding…a cellphone? It was a bit out of place, I didn’t get the message.

Anyway, more YoiteMiharu at it’s fullest, Miharu saying he doesn’t really want to go to Banten and would rather be with him forever, and Yoite is so cute tellinh him to stop because he gets confused. Their lovey-dovey quarrel is stopped by the woman in the truck, and it’s not like they are about to kiss, they just laugh which was soo cute.

Then, we have the train scene. Miharu TOTALLY blushes after Yoite says that even if his senses are worst each day, he feels Miharu’s presence even stronger.

I wonder if all this fluffyness isn’t some sort of goodbye…I want to guess that Yoite will “die” for a while but Miharu will find the way to revive him. Or, that he will save him before that. I don’t want Yoite to die, it will held no meaning, Miharu needs him in his life.

Macross Frontier #10 // Aimo Aimo.

Filed under: Macross Frontier

I really like this episode, despite not having done much main-plot-wise(I mean, Vajra and saving the Galaxy), it did deal with development between characters, Brera and obviously Ranka.

I’ve read many reviews and many opinions about Ranka/Mao, like a forshadowing of who is not going to get Alto, and I have to agree with those who say there’s still many episodes left to assume right now. While I would totally hit my computer if Sheryl gets Alto, I can’t really say who is winning. Because Alto hasn’t shown romantic interest in none of them, but we know he cares for them. I wish Sheryl was more likable though, I know Ranka may seem like a damsel in distress, because she looks frail and has been saved twice by Alto, but HEY, Sheryl wasn’t attacked face-to-face by a Vajra nor a Hydra.

Many say how Ranka will be the new Galaxy fairy in the end and Sheryl will get Alto and live the normal life she has always wanted…I don’t recall Sheryl wanting a normal life, ever. I may be confused, but Sheryl does love the stardom. I think her role will be more than just Alto’s other romantic interest, and it will deal with the earring, possibly. Right now it’s Ranka’s song that makes things go weird, true, but Sheryl has to play an important part other than being the annoying star who stalks Alto anywhere he goes.

I’ve noticed how Alto didn’t make much reaction after Sheryl kissed him, and how he immediately blush thinking of kissing Ranka. This doesn’t mean he has the hots for Ranka, so I wonder what was he going to say to Sheryl before being cut off. Sheryl fans will probably say something like “she is like a sister” or something.

I wonder, if Ranka had boobs, if they would take her more seriously, rather than giving her the childish attitude.

Ah well, don’t expect me to be nice to Sheryl.

I love how the movie looked. <3 The underwater kiss was awesome hehe.

Many opinions. And spoilers.-

Ah yes, I’m not dead, but I won’t be alive for people. -lol-
I actually wanted to just write to remember, and if somebody happens to pass that would be awesome ‘cause I love debate, but I totally forgot why I started this. That is, to remember and post my opinion, even if nobody read.

D.Gray-man
Aww I’m loving the chibi-Kanda/Lavi. I’m happy things cooled down a bit, and got back to it’s more funny facet.

Air Gear
Oh please. This has gotten ridiculous. Seriously, AT started out like something fun, technical, now it’s like everyone is Harry Potter and has some weird power which can make a whole area explode. Ikki/Kazu is evident, and I’m loving Kazu-sama. At least Yayoi -lol wrote Yaoi- isn’t around Agito anymore, please let’s forget those chapters. I’m totally supporting Kilik/Rika, and Hako/Sora was quite adorable…sexy scenes. ;)
Now, I want more Kanon, Kururu, Kilik, Kazu/Emily, and less AT super powah fights.

Code Geass R2
I’m not watching it currently ‘cause University eats me, but I’ve been reading summaries and reviews and I lol’d at the billion Zero-s. I find Lelouch’s lack of physical excercise one of the funniest things in Code Geass.

Nabari No Ou
I totally love it til now. I’ve seen the raws and they look interesting, while Miharu/Yoite is so canon it hurts. <3 Love them.

School Rumble
I smell Eri/Harima…and I actually don’t dislike it. I prefer it to Yakumo/Harima though. I don’t like that couple at all. Mikoto should do something about his childhood friend whose name I totally lost. Tenma-chan…oh, well, the bed-scene was cute, the whole story is sweet, but I wanted Tenma/Harima. But, it didn’t turn out as awful as I expected and I can see Eri/Harima.

Ouran
Tamakiiiiii. Awww I love him so much, such an awesome character. I WANT CHAPTER 62 THOUGH.

Itazura Na kiss
Fun, entretaining, and I feel so Kotoko-ish it hurts. X)

Macross Frontier
BIG, BIG revelation. I love this. The songs, the ANIMATION, the characters -except Sheryl…I wish they would have given her a better design, it’s too common and most are quite unique. I like Ranka/Alto a lot more. But seriously, the animation is so awesome…and the battles combined with pretty scenes and singing…plot full of mysteries…many possible couples…it’s great. =D

Nabari no Ou 01

Filed under: Nabari no Ou

The only thing that made me watch this was that Miharu looks so much like Aoyagi Ritsuka from Loveless, even their personalities are a bit similar.
Didn’t anyone realise that the substitute teacher was going to be evil the first time you see him? ^^
I think the cap boy is called Tobari.
(more…)

Itazura na Kiss 02

Filed under: Itazura na Kiss

Kotoko’s resolution is to get into the best 50 students, so she blackmails Irie-kun with some photos so that he tutors her. It was so hearwarming to see him hold the train door for her and then wish her luck, and was keen on knowing how she did. We have our typical “acting cool and badass” guy, and the end of the episode created more obstacles for Kotoko to get into his heart.

Kyou Kara Maou 79 // Season 3

Filed under: Kyou Kara Maou!

Yuri's harem.

The episode starts by letting us know that Wolfram is to be chosen the 28th Maou, somehow. There is this guy who looks similar to him and has the same surname…Yuuri is informed by this after coming 12 days after his last time (meaning 12 days after episode 78 Season 2), and while everyone tries acting normal, it’s obvious there is something going on, and Murata has noticed as well -and he later gets informed as well-
The episode ends with Yuuri’s coming of age ceremony which includes fighting a sandbear.

Well, we have Wolfram being cold to Yuuri, and there must be a REAL BIG reason for him to be elected as a maou so soon and his attitude towards Yuuri. I bet he went to stop this next-maou thing, or do something for Yuuri’s sake.

Kyou Kara Maoh! R OVA 1 & 3

Filed under: Kyou Kara Maou!

Basically, I’ve only watched a few episodes but then read reviews and such. I didn’t have time to
wait for them to download so I just…yeah. It’s not that hard to understand though.
And the thing I care about is Wolfram/Yuri, anyway, so I wanted to watch the OVA.

Kyou Kara Maoh! R OVA
Episode 1
Wolf!
Eeek, seriously, characters like Wolfram are so cute. Yuri is living his life as the Maou quite comfortably, it seems, and we are introduce to our cast showing Yuri’s non-king abilities. So the gang arrives to Caloria and the lady offers as a thank-you-for-everything to go to their hot-springs, while Wolfram becomes bitchy about her saying that their kingdom also has them, thus its nothing special to offer. Suddenly a masked-man attacks them and Conrad takes the lead and attacks.

Lol, Yuri is so careless.
Ah, seems Wolfram is a lot more nicer to Conrad, haha guess it happened during the series itself. X3 The masked man leaves after the Maoh gets away.
So, Gunter and Wolfram are affected by some magic and can’t get in the hot springs, so Yuri and Conrad have some time together -or not- since Yozak appears. Seems Gwendel sent him for security issues. And just in time since there are strange noises and Conrad is left to fight…Beries. Meanwhile Yuri finds out there are Sheep inside the springs…and somebody else…after some chat, we found our heroes gather in the same table as Beries and His Majesty Sararegi, the Small Shimaron King. Oh, unlucky, something I don’t know, but seems this guy is at fault for what happened before, and Wolfram snaps at him.
At any rate, Yuri and Sararegi have a nocturnal chat, and Sararegi uses some hypnosis so to get Yuri on his side and help him with his country. Yuri overcomes hypnosis without even noticing he was being controlled, and as he chats some more he agrees to go with Sararegi. Yozak has watched everything. Next day, Yuri’s plan has been discovered by Wolfram and Conrad -or Yozak told them- and Gunter is left aside.
Haha, a very funny scene with Yuri’s brother playing a dating sim and Ken interrupts him and he freaks out haha. He drags Shori to the Maoh world and they meet…Shinou.

Episode 3
Wolfram wakes up from a nightmare in where Yuri is surrounded by girls and having a nice time. I’m going to resume the episode simple facts:
- A machine that tells the future of lovers appears.
-Wolfram is possesed by Shinou,
-…who uses Wolfram’s body and kisses *gaspsqueal* Yuri.

Then, after what happens, both see different futures, the futures they least want to see…Wolfram says what he wanted to see wasn’t their future, but Yuri’s, ‘cause he won’t change. Yuri tells Wolf that the should avoid that future…
Here, Wolfram asks Yuri why would he have to compete with loosely dressed women while Yuri handed out flowers, but Yuri tells him he that what he saw is Wolf liking “me-” (men), and he stops talking.

So, his inner feelings, in my opinion. Yuri doesn’t want Wolf to like other men then, that’s his least favourite future.

Soul Eater 01

Filed under: Soul Eater

Note: I’ve read up to chapter 23 of the manga.

Opening
Energic, nice sounding, fitting. Medusa and Chrona appear as well. =)
Soul!
Review
I was afraid I wouldn’t like it, don’t ask why, but since I love the manga so much…
Anyway, as with Vampire Knight, the adaptation was a success. I won’t complain on Soul’s voice yet, because it is good yet I imagined it to be a bit more…childish I guess. Maka, I never quite like the character’s personality, so serious…the humour didn’t get me, but I know I’ll just have to wait for Black*Star and especially Death The Kid. Can’t wait for Kid. X3
Ending
Typical ending with no real meaning…lulz. Weird song.

Artwork was really pretty and exactly like in the manga.
And for the manga-fans…

Yay, Excalibur!
YAY! X3 This means umbrella shounen-aish moment between certain two. X3

Vampire Knight 01

Filed under: Vampire Knight

I’ve already read up to chapter 38, so I really want the anime to impress me, so that it gets farther in the plot and I can know all the silly mysteries of Vampire Knight. I’ll try not to spoiled much…if I can.
Nice artwork.
Opening /Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi by ON/OFF/
Whoa, I really like this one. The music and lyrics totally fit the plot, and I was surprised by the many hints they give about certain things.

Review
The episode started with what happened to Yuuki, but since I partly know what is, I won’t go into that. It was SO refreshing after so much drama in the manga to see how they were before. So lively. Aidou is totally winning haha. I didn’t know Seiren had grey-purple hair, I thought it was blond. I’m already pleased with little yet existant Shiki/Ichijou moments haha. Btw, Ichijou looks hideous. Maybe not to that extent, but he was way prettier in the manga. His hair is wrong, it was more like light chesnut and now it’s blond. I don’t recall Seiren being around much, I know she was a very loyal follower but oh well, it’s not that it’s important. I don’t recall the manga giving evidence of certain Zero fact so early, but I think it’s plain awesome the anime does, meaning it won’t take long to reach to the important parts. I love the fact that the Night Class gets more attention and we can see them interacting more often with each other.
Shiki never talked too much. But it's okay if they give him more screentime all right!!
Ending
Whoa, Yuuki. It certainly portraits the Vampire Knight world fine, I think. Though I keep thinking what will happen next, and how Yuuki -comparing to manga moments- will have such a puppet-like attitude. =(
The music didn’t have much impact but it fits the footage.
