Muteki Kanban Musume: Episode 12 (END)
Impressions:
I am very, very, VERY impressed. I didn’t think it could end so well. True, it’s another life-goes-on ending, as expected, but still was just awesome. It was amazingly funny, probably one of the funniest the whole season. What a way to finish! And the highlight was of course Miki getting drunk. Actually, it would seem the other way around, as she becomes so angelic and KAWAI when drunk. OMG it was too good – I was just hoping to see her in casual clothing, but instead of that, she becomes a goddess and blows everyone away with her sudden change of heart. I never thought it possible that I’d see her so feminine!! She also reminded me of April from Coyote Ragtime Show for saying ‘okaa-sama’. And the fact that she’s 20 also surprised me. I thought she was maybe 17 or 18, fresh out of high school. Oh well, it doesn’t matter anyway.

Code Geass – Hangyaku no Lelough - high (Code Geass – Lelouch of the Rebellion) This is a definite watch for me – at least the first episode. I can tell it’s going to be good because…well, I just know (hope I’m not wrong!) Firstly, it’s got very good character design, second, pretty good quality which means decent-high budget, and third, it’s mecha! Hooray! Seriously, the last good mecha I saw was Gundam Seed. I mean, come on! Not all mecha has to be Gundam right? I had high hopes with Zegapain…but they were just hopes. Same with Innocent Venus – and it wasn’t even mecha at all (well, it was a little bit…) So now, all hope resides in this, and so it shall dare not disappoint…muahaha! Btw, take a look at the entry I did on the trailer here. |

Kanon (2006) - extremely high Remake of Kanon (2000) For some reason, I just know this will be one of my favourites this season. And that is not because of how everyone else is highly anticipating this. I never listen to what anyone says (sorry ^_^”) and by that I mean no matter how much a show is belittled, I will try it, and no matter how much a show is praised, I will still try it – all the same. BUT, this is different. One reason is KyoAni is doing it! But I’m not sure of the other reasons…Doesn’t matter though, as I guarantee myself that this show is going to just blow me away. And also, the entry I did on the prelude is here. |

3 commentsNight Head Genesis: Episodes 7 & 8
Impressions:
So, the minus energy is really the culmination of negative thoughts and emotions? Sounds reasonable. A lot of strange things happened during these two episodes, though I think most of them can be explained. But firstly, the little kid in episode 7 who lost his puppy – he’s seriously one scary grade schooler. I mean, killing people like that and not feeling any kind of shock, remorse or fear? That’s crazy! Of course, everyone would have thought that the world would be a better place without certain people, but if those people really did die and the person who thought that knew he was responsible, I’m pretty sure he would freak out and go into hiding or something. Moreover, the culprit is a little kid, who’d more likely just start crying and sulk in a corner. On the other hand, he’s lived with his special ‘night head’ powers for some time now, so it’s possible he’s gotten used to having control over others, but still…killing?

Energy Band: HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR “Energy” is performed by the band High and Mighty Color, which I’m sure a lot of you have heard of. The band performed “Ichirin no Hana”, the third OP for Bleach. They also performed “Pride”, the second OP for Gundam Seed Destiny, as well as “Enrai ~Tooku ni Aru Agari~”, the last ED for the OAV special of Gundam Seed Destiny. “Energy” is the second song in the album “STYLE ~get glory in this hand~”. Well, enough talk – listen to it for yourself! The player is on top of the sidebar. Btw, if you wanna listen to previous songs, look through the “Now Playing” archives. =) |

5 commentsZero no Tsukaima: Episode 12
Impressions:
The question that’s been running through my mind for ages…Louise or Siesta? While of course Saito will choose Louise in the end, I still think Siesta is a better person overall. Everyone’s just feeling bad for Louise because she acts so sad and miserable when she sees Saito ‘cheating’ on her, but the fact of the matter is that she deserves all this. The way she treats Saito is enough to make anyone hate her, no matter how cute she may be. And don’t even say anything about Kirche…her chance was blown long ago.

16 commentsTonagura: Episode 5
Impressions:
While I think the episode is of less quality than previous episodes, the story takes a break from fun and cheery things to a more serious and sullen turn of events. Instead of Yuuji going after Kazuki as she changes or whatever, as he normally does, they have a pretty serious fight and end up making each other say that they hate one another. While this is obviously not true and they will resolve this for sure sooner or later, it shows that the show is definitely capable of depicting a serious romance. This is one thing harem-romances seem to lack, but this show is not a harem…I think. I don’t suppose Kazuki’s sister can be considered a third candidate for Yuuji can she? Right now it’s only Kazuki and Chihaya. Both are clearly interested in Yuuji, and while he adores Kazuki for now, he becomes closer to Chihaya, who also approves of his perverted behaviour…to an extent. What makes it worse is when the two finally fight in the end. I have no doubt that Yuuji will end up with Kazuki, unless the producers decide to make this a show where no romances are resolved and they go on being ‘friends’…*sigh*.
