Current anime episodes comments - Naruto Shippuuden, Gintama, Kotoura-san, Zetsuen no Tempest

Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 298

Naruto's Chakra mode is pretty cool.
The fight on the beach was nice.
I still don't get the point of discussions with the dead shinobi.
It's not like they have their own will when it comes to fighting.
From time to time they do tend to drop some more or less interesting info.
This episode was not too bad.


Gintama

Episode 260

Gin was pretty beaten up.
Considering his condition, he was surprisingly agile and stubborn.
This episode wasn't funny at all.
It was surprisingly serious this time.


Kotoura-san

Episode 4

Kotoura bolted.
Manabe was all wishy-washy about it.
That guy needs more incentive in life.
It's a good thing the club president is persistent.
At least they managed to find her rather quick.
Her grandfather is a pretty much a perv though.


Zetsuen no Tempest

Episode 16

Yoshino - Aika festival flashbacks was nice.
The mage kid really did a good job of being a superhero ^^
Hakaze was kinda LOL this time.
All that awkwardness around Yoshino was kinda sweet too.
Fire at the shrine was rather dramatic.
Didn't think we'd hear a confession this soon, but it's still a nice surprise.

Japan Shopping - Uta no Prince clock & Beelzebub mug

Today was the day that my package arrived from Japan. The stubborn postman didn't want to bring it to my house, so I had to go to the post office to get it myself. That was kinda annoying, but it was totally worth it! After I unpacked the items from the tricky box I was thrilled to finally have them in my hands.

This time I got Uta no Prince mini mini alarm clock Otoya Ittoki and Beelzebub Aoi Kunieda & Hildegarde mug cup. I love both of them, especially the chibi alarm clock. It's so small, cute and adorable, but also very functional. I like that it's made of metal and not plastic because it feels more real somehow. If it was made out of plastic it would be like a toy. It comes packed in the original retail box with a button battery and instruction manual. Anyway, it's amazing and a great collectible item!

The other thing I bought is Beelzebub mug cup with Aoi Kunieda and Hildegarde. It's made by COSPA, 9cm in height and 8cm in diameter. The mug is white with pictures of Aoi and Hildegarde doing their usual thing; Aoi with her trademark wooden sword and Hildegarde with her sun umbrella.

Check out the pictures!

Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun

Episode 4

So those three got rescued by the fuzzy black one eyed ball.
Those monks are really bad news..
Genpachi seems to be doing just fine now.
I'm glad he's finally free. His story was very interesting.
Those monks just don't quit, but looks like they got what they deserved.


Magi

Episode 16

That black monster was really something.
Honestly, I wasn't surprised that Kassim turned into that.
He was always bad, right from the start.
Always giving Alibaba trouble...
It was nice Aladdin finally showed up. About time too.
Aladdin vs Judal. I'd like to see more of that.
Pretty intense episode this time!
Lots of action.


Amnesia

Episode 4

Shin is really trying to get through to her.
I feel sorry for him sometimes.
Shin seems to be pushing her too hard.
I think he's reaching his limit...
The fireworks was nice though.
She is being too indecisive and cautious.

Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Space Brothers, Hunter x Hunter, Bakuman 3

One Piece

Episode 582

That head was rather rude.
Franky really is useful sometimes ^^
This time he was especially useful.
Each of the groups had their own adventures.
Just on the opposites sides of the island.
There are some weird things happening on that island.


Space Brothers

Episode 42

Tough times for Hibito and Damian.
Mutta's hunch was right on. Good for him.
Flashback to childhood was nice.
Hibito's quick thinking and cool head may have saved the day!
Guess we'll see next time.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 64

Looks like those two learned a lot.
They even gained some monster cards as well.
Bisky has proven to be an excellent teacher.
Lots of new stuff got introduced as well.
This new arc looks very promising.


Bakuman 3

Episode 17

Iwase going through a crisis of her own..
An intervention was badly needed.
Luckily others teamed up and led her towards the right path.
Seems like there were some changes in the editorial department as well.
Flashbacks were nice.
Looks like both Niizuma and Ashirogi Muto are starting new manga.
The interesting thing is they're having similar ideas. Both going for something different.

Current anime episodes comments - Fairy Tail, ShinsekaiYori, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru

Fairy Tail

Episode 166

Natsu seriously pissed off.
Fighting Sabertooth's guys was a bit more than he could handle.
Pandemonium challenge has begun!
This part should be really interesting.
Wonder if Erza will be good enough to win this.
Her obsessing over Jellal is not helping her concentration.
I think she seriously snapped when she decide to challenge all the monsters at once.


Shinsekai Yori

Episode 17

Saki grew up and so did Satoru.
Looks like a lot of time passed since the previous episode.
I'm interested to see where this is heading.
So far they're dealing with the queerats.
Seems like the colonies evolved to the point of power struggles and politics.


Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Episode 16

Jojo training for his big fight.
At least we learned some more stuff about the ripples.
Lisa sure put him through some hoops.
Well, it's supposed to be hard.
Caesar was doing much better than Jojo.
There still a lot to learn.


Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru

Episode 4

Poor Chiwa got played and fooled on her first date.
Masuzu's little lesson for her was really cruel.
Eita got to play white knight, but turned out to be pathetic.
In the end, he was the one that got rescued by Chiwa.
Seems like Masuzu isn't actually half bad, just hard to understand.

Robotics;Notes

Episode 14

The whole robots out of control thing was pretty serious.
Interesting how Kill Ballad got connected with it.
Poor Kona was accused of everything and did none of it.
Even Kai was losing that set up game...
Some facts from Kona's past came out. That was interesting.
Seems like Kai-Kona relationship is evolving slowly.


Maoyuu Maou Yuusha

Episode 4

Seriously, what is going on here.
I was expecting fights, battlefields and lots of blood.
Instead I got farming, economics and politics.
If this one doesn't get a move on, I'm gonna drop it.
So far it's been... boring.
I don't understand how such a boring story can get an anime.


Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?

Episode 3

That water tree is really amazing.
The onsen atmosphere was nice too.
Watching that cat float around was kinda LOL
Izayoi is really insensitive sometimes.
It was pretty relaxed until they got a demonic visit.
Watching them fight the tiger was interesting.

Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 297

This was an interesting story.
It was nice learning more about Gaara.
His childhood was a cruel one... really sad.
Gaara vs his dad. That was just epically right.
Well, truth always finds a way out.


Gintama

Episode 259

That princess really knows how to act.
This time Gin and others really are in a huge mess.
The old shogun was truly a despicable man.
I was glad Gin lost it this time.
Oboro was interesting, but cruel.
Interesting episode ending.


Psycho-Pass

Episode 14

Wow! Now that was an interesting beginning.
Think the helmet made it possible to circumvent Sybil system.
Killing people at random, pretty scary.
This is bad. The helmet thing is not an isolated case.
Makishima's plan seems to be working.
Kogami's powers of deduction are always a nice surprise.


Kotoura-san

Episode 3

Manaba & Kotoura. Nice pair.
Going to the club room alone was maybe not the best idea.
Kotoura's mind reading ability is not always a good thing.
Still, those two really fit in the club ^^
Moritani's jealousy went too far this time...


Zetsuen no Tempest

Episode 15

So now they have Megumu, the mage of Exodus.
He seems like a nice kid, a bit shy and scaredy cat.
His power on the other hand is just amazing, but also dangerous!
Mahiro really put some pressure on him.
Don't think the kid is his Aika's killer, just doesn't make sense.
Hakaze seems to have fallen in love with Yoshino (#^-^#)
So it could be Hakaze's fault Aika is dead after all...
Pretty interesting episode.

Current anime episodes comments - Bakuman 3, Amnesia

Bakuman 3

Episode 16

Things are getting very intense between Crow and PCP.
I like how they showed us PCP manga chapter.
That's always interesting to watch.
Everyone was doing their best to come closer to Crow.
In the end no one was good enough to beat Niizuma.
Niizuma is a manga machine! He's just amazing.
Always manages to surprise me.


Amnesia

Episode 3

Things are moving forward slowly.
It always interesting seeing fractions of her memory leaking though.
So Shin was/is her boyfriend.
Well, it was nice she finally shared her problem with someone.
Even though he figured it out on his own... it was still sad.
Things should be easier now when more people know about it.

Current anime episodes comments - Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun, Magi

Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun

Episode 3

Nothing much was going on this time.
Mostly Shino relaxing and having fun.
The history lesson part was interesting.
He does act like a brat most of the time too..
Wish they made him a bit more grown up, but with similar personality.
Genpachi finally escaped. I'm glad because they tortured him more than enough.
Interesting how they always put the short action scenes at the beginning or the end.
Maybe now things will finally get moving.


Magi

Episode 15

Alibaba dreams of a Republic.
I doubt it will be as easy as he thinks.
Even Kassim was surprised by the whole Republic thing.
Kassim may have rained on his parade, but he also did make a good point.
Ugo's explanation of dark Magi was interesting.
Aladdin was going through his own rebirth.
So was Kassim who totally crossed over to the dark side.

Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Space Brothers, Hunter x Hunter

One Piece

Episode 581

That Punk Hazard really is full of weird things.
Luffy is one crazy guy, but so is this island.
They really did barbecue and eat that dragon LOL
The lower half only man was pretty ridiculous as well.
The rest of the crew got kidnapped and trapped.
Looks like they found some pieces of their own.
This was one crazy episode, but the new characters are interesting.


Space Brothers

Episode 41

OMG! This was the most nerve racking episode ever!
Hibito and Damian just can't catch a break.
Those two were going through really tough times.
Hibito was very impressive and was giving it his all.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 63

That girl could teach Gon and Killua quite a few things.
Bisky as their new teacher and master, should be interesting.
Compared to the outside world, players are really dangerous.
It was nice watching Gon and Killua train.

Fairy Tail

Episode 165

Fairy Tail still holding last places... kinda sad.
Hope they'll turn things to their advantage soon.
I felt sorry for Yukino, but was surprised to see her so helpful.
Natsu raiding Sabertooth's place was a nice bonus!
Can't wait to see how it plays out next time.


Shinsekai Yori

Episode 16

Flashbacks and memories of childhood days.
Thoughts about society and life.
Still searching for Maria and Mamoru.
Satoru and Saki were restless in their search.
They disappeared without a trace..


Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Episode 15

Caesar's overconfidence cost him dearly.
Think his ego got the biggest blow LOL
Those pillar men are arrogant, but they have the power.
Jojo was lucky with Santana, but these three are so much more challenging.
If nothing else, Jojo has a good persuasion techniques.
Too bad for him, those three are no fools..


Ore Shura

Episode 3

Eita totally snapped.
Masuzu only thinking about popularity.
Chiwa going along with for Eita.
Seems like Masuzu wants Chiwa to have a boyfriend so she wouldn't be their 3rd wheel.
Chiwa doesn't get why Eita doesn't get her feelings... such a complicated relationship.

Kotoura-san

Episode 2

Kotoura seems to become popular.
ESP research society just came and took her LOL
Well, that club seems perfect for her.
Just hope they won't abuse her power.
I knew something bad would happen.
Manabe really stepped up, I was surprised.


Psycho-Pass

Episode 13

I think they are relaying on Sibyl system too much.
If someone were to control it, they could control everything.
No system is perfect, which means this one was flaws and blind spots.
Akane was feeling down because of that Makashima thing.
All in all a very interesting episode.


Zetsuen no Tempest

Episode 14

Yoshino & Hakaze seem to be hanging out a lot.
Mahiro was left to hang out with Samon.
Seems like the Tree is having a lot of influence over the world.
It's all on Hakaze to figure out how to return things to normal.
Lots of interesting things were said.


Robotics;Notes

Episode 13

Their robot building is progressing really really slowly.
Kona was acting her usual weird self.
Her and Kai and really into those Kimijima reports.
They seems to be making some progress.
Looks like the solar flares are doing their thing.
Poor Kona got seriously set up..


Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?

Episode 2

Black Rabbit explains the whole communities thing.
Seems like she was recruiting them as fighters.
This Gift Games thing sounds interesting.
Asuka sure has scary powers. I like it.
As a matter a fact, all of them have pretty cool powers.
Shiroyasha's game was interesting. You certainly proved her courage.


Maoyu Maou Yuusha

Episode 3

I can't see where this anime is going.
Thought it would about fighting and stuff like that..
So far it's farmers r us. I mean it's nice of them, but pretty boring.
Hope it'll get more interesting soon.

News from the battlefront.
That was sort of not bad.
It summarizes things rather nicely.
Watching Naruto fight was nice too.
It's been a while since we had a chance to see it.
Gaara and sand guys started their own fight a well.


Gintama

Episode 258

The insanity continues.
This anime always makes me laugh.
What the did to the Shogun was totally ROFL
At least we finally got to the bottom of things.
Seems like former Shogun was more then they thought.
