xxxHOLiC Ep 12

Koeeeeeee~!!! TOT
This was one scary episode and the ending of this episode freaked me out. Wow, that was a good one btw. So the lady in blue was really in that house for the whole day. TOT I kinda felt sorry for Watanuki since he had to go through all that scary moments. But it's okay to call Doumeki for help once in a while. -_^;;; Also I second Watanuki about Himawari. She's just too cute. >O< Anyway once gain, the directing was awesome in this episode and the scripts were intensely written.

Btw Mokona in Holic is becoming more and more human-like, isn't he? (look at his facial expression in the last screen shot ^_^;;;)

Tsubasa Chronicle Ep 35 (S2 Ep 9)

To Wong Fei

No matter what you do is no use. Do ya think you can beat our Yuuko-san? Know who you are trying to mess up with.

Anyway it was a good episode even though the ending was really sad for Ashura and Yasha. TOT (They looked so good together btw) Syaoran's right eye started hurting again as well. The visual was beautiful in this episode and the use of ost was great once again.
I guess they will wrap up with this arc in the next episode? Anyway looking forward to see how it turns out.

Kiba Ep 13

One word to describe this episode: Awesome.
There are so much twists and plot development in this episode that it's kinda hard to recall all of them.
Dumas,,,it was expected that he couldn't survive for long.
Graujio,,,he was annoying enough and I'm glad he is defeated.
Hugh,,,you @#@$$@%@%&$!!! Just what kind of cold bastard are you???

Well, Rebecca's father was really alive but too bad he was fooled by Hugh again... Poor Rebecca... I wonder if she'll be okay after all that traumatic incidents...
Poor Elda... She was royal to Rebecca till the very end.

Well, aside from all the tragic events, Zed has proved that HE REALLY KICKS ASS. (,,,and Rambos rocked too) He managed to beat Graujio too. (Good boy~) It was also good to see Zed being nice to Roia too. (Yes, I support Zed x Roia now) But awww he could have met Noah if he has asked Sagiri about who made the paper airplane. T_T

So this was the end of the 1st part of Kiba. I'm very much looking forward to see what will happen from now on.



Dotsugeki Love Heart~!!! (Ver. Macross 7)
She really missed Zed. Awwwww. >O<

Tsubasa Chronicle Ep 34 (S2 Ep 8)

The group gets into the crack in the sky and warp into Shura Country. Syaoran fights along with Ashura-ou's army against Yasha-ou's army. Syaoran vs Kurogane(not the one that we know; Kuro-sama koeee~ -o-) battle scene was pretty awesome btw. There's also Fye on Yasha-ou's side, which is also not Fye we know. Ashura-ou was really beautiful(different from Ashura-ou of Fye's country) and Yasha-ou was charismatic. The animation was kinda inconsistent from part to part but I hope Bee Train will keep up with its standard.
Anyway nothing much to say about this episode except that I'm liking this arc so far. ^O^

Tsubasa Chronicle Ep 33 (S2 Ep 7)

The group arrives at Shara Country, however they get separated into two groups since Fye and Kurogane have fell on a different area than the others. Anyway I'm not so familiar with most of the characters and the settings here since I only know a little bit about RG Veda. But Karen(from X) was really pretty. >O< I wonder how Fye felt when he heard Ashura's named being called. This whole arc started off quite good and I'm sure the rest of this arc will be interesting too.



Syaoran-kun...iya, Syaoran-chan naka naka yarujyan~ ^O^
lol The way he dressed up reminded me of Anne(from Anne of Green Gable).

Bleach Ep 86

This was another intense episode even though the animatin was kinda down. Anyway that old geezer is so sick,,, (Just look at his freaky face -_-;) Poor Ururu gets swallowed by the geezer's doll and the three(Sado, Noba, and Rangiku) try their best to retrieve her. However, the whale-like doll seems to be stronger than they thought that it escapes from Noba's dimension. Anyway there are so much Rangiku goodness and Noba goodness in this episode. (Woah Noba had so much lines for the first time how impressive @_@)
I DEMAND FOR NOBA'S BARE FACE!!!
There's a little possibility that we might be able to see his bare face in the next week. I'm sure he's darn handsome. ^O^



HAWT. >O< This is my favourite random-pic-of-the-week so far.



Noba-kun moe moe~
Gosh, he sure blushes easily at girls. ^O^



Rangiku nee-sama koeeeee~ -o-
But again, she's so cool. >O<

Gintama Ep 13

I'm glad that they decided to make this arc into one single episode. Personally, I didn't really like the chapters used for this episodes because I was disturbed by some scenes. However, the animated episode turned out quite neat and they actually lessened the disturbing elements. Anyway Gintoki fights the space pirates and saves his friends with Katsura's help. (Gintoki and Katsura cosplaying as pirates lol) Katsura was really cool in this episode(the anime original scene where he meets Sadaharu was funny lol) and we get to know more of Gintoki's good characters mainly on his care for his allies. Oh Shinpachi and Kagura you big babies!!! But Gin-san was nice enough to carry you all after all that mess. ^O^

I'm not so sure what the next episode is about by just looking at the preview. But I'm sure it will be a good episode since Shinsengumi's in it. ^O^

Kiba Ep 12

There were 2 hoorays for this episode.
1) Hooray for Elda The Brave, who has saved Roia, Robes, and Rebecca.
2) Hooray for Zed to remain with 0 character development. <=Take this as a sarcasm ;;

Seriously, Zed has no change in his character so far. He's been doing what he believes upto now. (but again, that shows his strong character -_-;) Dumas is getting sicker every episode but I did notice that when Roia mentions about Miki, there is a trace of Dumas' oldself in his eyes. Oh yes, Zed gets a brand new sword and a new spirit buddy named Rambos. (Is he gonna ditch Gaoul for now?) Hugh is just so evil. Just WTH is he trying to do? Get the dead man(Rebecca's father) to speak? Anyway that Philip guy from Rebecca's army was dumb... But he deserves what he got.

Is Zed gonna try to kick all of their @sses by himself now? Uh well, I'm gonna cheer for him AND make fun of him a bit for now. -3-

xxxHOLiC Ep 11

This was another great episode with lots of Doumeki goodness and Yuuko goodness along with Vestal Sprite's kawaiiness. >O< The production quality this time was exceptionally high as well.
Anyway Doumeki gets his spirit/soul taken by Vestal Sprite but Watanuki gets it back. Wai, Doumeki sure is popular with girls(according to Watanuki), eh? >O< But we now know that there's someone who likes Watanuki too. ^O^ (Which is Vestal Sprite)
Every time Watanuki cooks in this series, I get hungry. (seriously, everything he cooks looks delicious) Vestal Sprite was really cute and I hope to see more of her later.


Do,,,Doumeki-kun daijoubu??? @_@;;;
Doumeki gets his head banged on the wood while he was asleep. Aw, that's gotta be hurt. TOT


P.S. Did you notice how manly xxxHOLiC's Mokona is??? ^O^

Tsubasa Chronicle Ep 32 (S2 Ep 6)

This was a wonderful episode featuring Fye meeting Chi from a different country than Celes. Wai, Fye gakkoissu! >O< You all know I adore Fye so much. (Partly because he is voiced by Namikawa Daisuke-san ^O^) Chi-chan was super kawaii too. >O< I'm starting to wonder why did Fye seal Ashura-ou. Anyway I enjoyed all the FyeChi moments(so cute!!! >O<) and I loved the insert song played during this episode. In this episode, they really did a great job on choosing soundtracks on each scenes.



Fye sutekiyo Fye!!! >O<
What a sweet smile. ^O^ I like the 'serious' Fye too.


Chi-chan kawaiiyo Chi-chan!!! >O<
She's just so adorable. >O< May be I should watch Chobits someday. Sumomo and Kotoko are cute too.

Fate/Stay Night - Impression

Fate was the anime that a lot of people have looked forward to last year and also the anime that has successfully opened the anime season of 2006. (Last year, it was Air)
This series turned out to be a well done series with the great conclusion. (Even though Saber died... *Sniff) The visual must be the strongest part of this series because from what I remembered, there was no episode that had its quality below its average and some of the episodes were superb in terms of animation. All the characters and the backgrounds were well drawn and the opera-like soundtracks went wonderfully with them.
However, there were a few problems with this series. First, they spent too much time on repeating the information on the Holy Grail War that the pacing was rather awkward a lot of times and the first half(upto ep 13) was too dialogue-wised. (In my opinion, VS Shinji arc was horrible in terms of pacing) Also I always felt that the pacing in general was lacking something. Second, they didn't give proper background info on most characters. Because of this, only a few characters remained memorable to me.
Therefore, I'm not going to do the character rank for this seris since I can't really figure it out properly. But I can definitely say Saber is my favourite character of this series. She was beautiful(Saber kireiiyo Saber! >O<) and she's the one who had the best character development from this series, which was interesting to see.

Starting from ep 14, this series started to pick up its intensity and the last arc(VS Kotomine) was awesome in my opinion. Seriously, this series could have been way better if it had better pacing and better character introduction. Even having that said, I enjoyed watching this series and all the good looking characters really made it up for me. ^O^



Saber-sama, I will never forget you...


P.S. 1) Sir Bedivere@Noto Mamiko was awesome. Noto gakkoiiyo!!! >O<
2) Have I mentioned how much I liked the 2nd opening song? It's awesome!!! >O<

The Third Ep 5

This was a rather calm episode with some sweet moments of regaining friendship. Anyway I'm glad that Milly didn't end up hating Honoka because she's one of the Thirds. The scene of Honoka and Ikus observing flowers blooming was good too. We also got to know that Honoka is a faileur among the Thirds but has a different ability that other Thirds don't have. (which is her ability to cut anything with her imagination) Chibi Honoka during her past scene was totally adorable too. (kawaii~ >O<)

...However, it looks like someone, who can be even more troublesome than Jouganki, is targeting Honoka now. Anyway looking forward to watch the next episode.

P.S. The quality has slightly gone down in this episode but it looks like we'll get the usual quality back in the next episode from looking at the preview. ^O^

Bleach Ep 84-85

Good episodes. These two episodes were action-packed along with some dramatic moments. But they could have moved the story forward faster though. Anyway it was too bad that we didn't get to see Rangiku in action but it looks like the next episode will be full of Rangiku-goodness. >O< Besides, Izuru and Shuuhei made my day. ^O^
Gosh, that Mabashi bastard is so psycho. -3- It was good to see Hanatarou getting serious too. (He was more gakkoii than kawaii in these two episodes >_<)
Also Orihime-chan is just too nice. Seriously, she shouldn't go easy on that Mabashi even though he is still a human. (just beat him up like a pillow) Anyway the strong friendship between Orihime and Rukia was once again proved, which was good to see. (so much HimeRuki moments ^O^)


=Shinigami Special=


IZURU-KUN GAKKOIIYO IZURU-KUN!!! >O<
Sakupyon's voice acting was just awesome. >O< Izuru-kun, you don't look cruel at all. (Just WTF is he saying? Being so discouraged about himself. -3-;;;) You look just fine. ^_^; (pets his back)



SHUUHEI-SAN GAKKOIIJYAN~ >O<
We all know Hisagi Shuuhei is the next Soul Society Idol. (Yeah right)



Mayuri really ate the girls' snacks???
lol That's mean.

Gintama Ep 11-12

The second 1 hour special of Gintama is here! Anyway I think the director has decided to put these two chapters together because both of them feature Otose-san's character. (she's such a great person btw ^O^) Anyway the first half was about the ill old man, who wants to see the person named Ayano, whom he loved very much. (,,,and that Ayano person was Otose-san; she was such a beauty during her youth ^O^)

The second half was featuring one of the earliest chapters of the manga on Katherine. They managed to make this episode stronger in terms of message and the bond between Otose-san and Gintoki.

To be honest, none of these two chapters was really my favourite in the manga so I wasn't really expecting too much. The animated episodes turned out alright though.
I really liked the past scene of Otosen-san and Gintoki.



MUKASHI NO GIN-SAN KITA!!! >O<
That was after he first met Otose-san, who has saved him from starvation. Gakkoissu! >O<


The next episode is going to feature the two last chapters of the volume 2, which were quite serious in terms of plot. (,,,and the return of Katsura of course ^O^)

Kiba Ep 11

There are two things I realized from watching this episode.

HUGH IS CREEPY.

and

DUMAS IS DUMB.

Gosh, what an evil guy Hugh is... It's just hard to read what he's thinking.
,,,also it is so obvious that Hugh making Dumas into the new king of Jimoto must be part of his evil plan. (EVIL! EVIL!)

Poor Rebecca is about to marry Dumas. Will someone save this poor girl from the hands of the gorilla?

,,,also traitors sure are everywhere in this series. -_-;;; That Phillip guy from Rebecca's party must be a spy from Jimoto castle. Roia and Robes are captured and Zed and Elda are on their way to save Rebecca.

This was a great episode btw. It's just that I need to wait another week to see what happens to this chaos. -_-;

xxxHOLiC Ep 10

Okay, that was scary,,, But as always, it was another interesting episode. lol Watanuki is just like me when it comes to ghost stories. (I'm weak at them too -_-;) It was good to see everyone in yukata. The little Watanuki was cute and Doumeki was cool with his bow.



Introducing the new micro vacum cleaner Mokona!
It can even clean things that are invisible!!! (lol)

Bleach Ep 83

This episode was mainly focused on Koga's past on what happened while he was taking care of a young Bountou named Cain. There's nothing much to say on this episode except it was kinda unexpected to see Kariya crying so much when Cain died. ('cause when other Bountous died during this arc, he never cried. Was that tear fake?)
Next episode is going to be 1 hour special(YES! Again,,,), which means there will be 2 hour special of Gintama and Bleach on next Tuesday.



Hirako-kun, kita~~~!!! ^O^
I'm sure most people didn't expect to see him in the opening. I hope to see him in the anime soon. ^O^


Yu...Yuta? (From POT)
...kinda similar, eh?


Izuru-kun kita~~~!!! >O<
Finally we get to see Izuru in action in the next episode!
Sakupyon's voice = Melt Level Max >O<

Gintama Ep 10

I like the way they extended this episode because all the original scenes fit pretty good. Anyway we are now introduced with another member of Yorozuya named Sadaharu, which is a big furry dog-like creature. Kagura sure loves him, eh? (The name Sadaharu was actually the name of the rabbit Kagura had) It was good to see the kind side of Gin-san as well. ^__^



BAD DOG! BAD DOG!
I felt sorry for Gin-san and Shin-chan through the whole episode. lol


BAD BOY! BAD BOY!
Don't treat Hijikata-san like a dog, Okita-kun! -_-;;;

The next week's episode is going to be 1 hour special(Wow, already? >O<) but I'm a little worried because the preview looked like they are going to use the materials from one chapter only but I might be wrong. (,,,and from what I remember, that chapter didn't contain any scene with Shinsengumi. TOT)
