While Lelouch's character doesn't really require much development anymore, this episode goes to show that ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion-r2-episode-7/ Rating: 8/10 Impressions: It was a little disappointing seeing the tactic that Lelouch uses to escape Suzaku's trap, as well as seeing the unbelievably sudden uber power up that the Guren receives. However, the overall quality of the episode more than makes up for minor things likes that. I like how Karen ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion-r2-episode-6/ Rating: 3/10 Impressions: What a…crap episode. Seriously, the animation quality dropped to something like 10% of what it is usually…not that that's an accurate estimate, but oh well. Thus, the execution quality dropped severely as well. The animators resorted to the simplest of scene execution, which almost hurt my eyes. Some facial ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/bleach-episode-170/ Rating: 8.2/10 Impressions: I found myself really enjoying this episode when I watched it, probably due to the nice and cheerful feel it has. Not only does it develop the characters of Alto and the others, it also makes the sci-fi setting a lot firmer. This is done through the well incorporated ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/macross-frontier-episode-5/ Rating: 7.8/10 Impressions: Again, another nicely paced, well animated action episode. However, this series is seriously lacking some substance now. However, the semi-cliffhanger ending certain does a good job of eliminating that problem. I still haven't seen the following few episodes, but I'll be sure to get to them soon. One surprise ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/macross-frontier-episode-4/ Rating: 6/10 Impressions: I was going to say Bleach was looking somewhat promising…but then I saw this episode… subsequently episode 170…which I shall delve into somewhat later. Quality goes down, storyline becomes dull very suddenly when they screw up the execution of the episode…in my opinion of what. Also, when exactly is ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/bleach-episode-169/ Rating: 8/10 Impressions: I'm alive! Barely. Well I'm not going to try and explain myself, since it's just pure laziness and lack of time…so I'll get straight back into it. Well this is certainly a fun episode. The writers integrated some solid story progression in a nicely executed school-focused episode—which, to my ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion-r2-episode-5/ Rating: 8.5/10 Impressions: The problem with all these seemingly ingenious plans that Lelouch comes up with…is that they require a lot of luck and conveniently placed surroundings. Of course, I'm not complaining. I'm actually high pleased with this episode, as it really gets you into the mood of things with the suspense ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion-r2-episode-4/ Rating: 7/10 Impressions: Well this episode is rather…uneventful. OK, that's the wrong word to use, but honestly, it feels that way despite the progression of the story. I guess it just feels rather bland in comparison to the previous two episodes. Right now, Code Geass is better, but still, the high tech, ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/macross-frontier-episode-3/ Rating: 7.5/10 Impressions: Hmm, this new filler arc may not turn out to be as boring as I thought. For one, it involves Soul Society, which means there won't be any more retarded monster battles like in the Bounto arc, which is part of why I don't like it. But then again, ... http://novastorm.animeblogger.net/bleach-episode-168/
