KDrama - To The Beautiful You

I just finished watching Korean drama To the Beautiful You. This drama was made after Japanese drama Hana Kimi which came out a few years before. Naturally, I've seen both. It really has an amazing story so I just couldn't resist watching the Korean version. At first I thought the Korean version would be the same as the Japanese, but that's so not true. Honestly I someone asked me to pick the better one, the Korean version would win but not by much.

It was just awesome watching the story all over again. This time it was even better. There were much more emotions involved and you can really get into the story easily. I really enjoyed watching this version and am highly recommending it! There are also a lot of famous actors and musicians in this drama so don't miss out.

Plot

The series centers on Goo Jae-hee (Sulli), a Korean girl who lives in the United States. One day, she sees a track and field competition on TV, and becomes inspired by a gold medalist high jump competitor, Kang Tae-joon (Minho). She begins to idolize the young athlete but Tae Joon suffers an accident that could potentially end his career. Therefore, to see Tae-joon jump again, Jae-hee disguises herself as a boy and attends the same school as Tae-joon.

One Piece

Episode 596

Guess we get to see more fights this time.
It's nice for a change from all the talking.
Marines finally woke up and decided to attack Luffy.
The pink ooze looks like it could be problematic.
So Caesar finally dropped a monster out of his sleeve.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 80

Gyro's history was just too cruel.
This episode was really interesting.
Looks like even the hybrids have enemies lurking in the shadows.
Innocents still dying as food...
It's time hunters get seriously involved.


Shingeki no Kyojin

Episode 7

Fear, anger, sadness and hopelessness.
Those were the emotions that took over the soldiers.
Mikasa was the only one with a cool head.
Those Titans seem like animals despite their human look.
Titan killing Titans was a interesting change of plot.
Wonder what story is hiding behind the Titans and their actions.


Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san Z

Episode 7

So it's at an onsen this time.
Well, Azazel and Rinko were having fun.
The murder mystery part was a nice touch ^^
It totally turned into a murder comedy LOL


Suisei no Gargantia

Episode 7

So a whalesquid is a sacred animal.
Wow, that goes against everything Ledo is fighting for.
Hideauze he knows are not the ones Gargantian's know.
They may be the same species, but their actions were not the same.
Everything was fine until Ledo provoked them.
You could feel the tension in the air.

Date A Live

Episode 7

Transfer students just keep pouring in.
Kurumi is an interesting one.
Shido is totally like a character in a visual novel.
Too many girls just means more trouble for him.
Mana, the imouto surprise added a nice twist to the plot.


Space Brothers

Episode 58

Judging by the amount of commenting the quality of this anime has fallen.
That chat with Vince was sort of unusual.
Flashbacks to the trio's past were nice to watch.
At least that explained a few things..
This episode felt like a filler.

Kakumeiki Valvrave

Episode 6

Runkino made a bold choice.
That girl was so full of bitterness..
Taking Tokishima's body was a nasty prank.
L-Elf is beginning to see there is more to that school than meets the eye.
The Dorssian attack was an unpleasant surprise.


Hataraku Maou-sama!

Episode 7

Suzuno meets the neighbors ^^
Maou and the rest sure are a funny bunch.
At least it's interesting to watch them goof around.
Looks like the new neighbor is not just an innocent girl.
Emilia's plan to gain more magic is going well too.

Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 313

Another filler episode.
Naruto is too slow in his arrival.
I suspect the last 2 episodes or so will be with Naruto kicking ass.
So far the plot has been pathetic.
It was inevitable foe this episode to pass without flashbacks.


Red Data Girl

Episode 7

I like this anime because it's relaxing.
The drama and their relationships are interesting to watch as well.
New episode had a nice balance between happy & sad.
In the end the whole Tabi thing kinda weighed over on the sad side.


Uta no Prince 2

Episode 7

Shinomiya and his double personality this time.
His gentle side is totally cute and sweet.
Satsuki on the other hand is mean, daring and dangerous.
His transformation back was just LOL
Haruka keeps saving them when they need it the most.


Karneval

Episode 7

Karneval time!
It was nice watching them have some fun.
Especially after the events of the previous episodes.
The malfunctioning rabbit caused some unexpected problems.
Guess there's always that one thing that ruins everything.


Devil Survivor 2

Episode 7

The Anguished One played his villain role perfectly.
Hibiki had a difficult choice to make.
So this time they met the app maker.
At least the plot is making a leap forward.

Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Shingeki no Kyojin, Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san Z, Suisei no Gargantia

One Piece

Episode 595

This arc has turned into a bad comedy.
No wonder a lot of people dropped the commenting on new episodes.
Little is happening. Basically just running around aimlessly.
Short flashback to the island's past was interesting.
Robin's angel form was kinda cool.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 79

This arc is pretty good so far.
All the human/animal hybrids are intriguing.
It's not good when you consider all the human casualties, but it's interesting from scientific point of view.
So many possibilities, practically infinite number of possible hybrids.
The examinations to enter NGL were over the top.
Well, at least Gon and the others finally arrived.
Those hybrids are acting more and more like humans.
Wonder how long it'll take for them to break the bond with the queen.


Shingeki no Kyojin

Episode 6

Armin was totally shell shocked.
It was hard enough to deal with Titans, now even humans are giving them crap.
Flashback to Mikasa's past was interesting.
No wonder she is this way now...
Wonder if they'll show us Eren next time..


Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san Z

Episode 6

That Gagiel angel was really hopeless.
An angel & a demon on a date ROFL
I honestly couldn't tell who was stupider of those two.
It was a surprise Megumi didn't kill him.
That girl is a total tsundere psycho stalker.


Suisei no Gargantia

Episode 6

Ledo was so funny with his inability to use money.
Their festival was anything but typical.
Looks like he finally managed to make himself useful.
Latest episodes are more everyday stuff, nice and relaxing.
Wonder if we'll get to see some real action and fighting soon.
