Naruto Shippuuden


Episode 302

Gaara and the sand guys had their hands full.
The fighting parts were nice to watch.
Sealing that tricky guy was practically impossible.
Luckily Gaara is a genius.
Not a bad episode this time.


Bakuman 3


Episode 21

Finally taking a break.
It was about time those two relaxed a little.
The onsen getaway was nice.
Reversi anime... was giving everyone a headache.
I thought it would be a no-brainer, but they complicated it.
It's nice they let Hattori in on the whole wedding thing promise.
Seems like Ashirogi will lose to Niizuma again.... probably :(


Kotoura-san


Episode 8

Kotoura down with a cold..
Manabe's perverted thoughts were LOL
Her mind reading ability was off and he totally used it.
No matter how much of a perv, he's still a great friend.
Kotoura & Manabe date was pretty awkward, but sweet.

Episode 8

Looks like this time we'll see more of Toma.
He seems like a really nice guy.
Cheerful, outgoing and a great cook.
She really is a fragile one... too fragile actually.
The green haired guy was pretty scary.
Wonder what he meant by "you'll die soon".
So, she'll be staying at Toma's place now, interesting.

Aladdin learning new magic from Yamu.
Looks like Alibaba and Aladdin are both undergoing rigorous training.
Morgiana's new shackles were pretty cool.
She'll need to learn how to use those properly in battle.
Prince Hakuryuu is pretty unreadable so far.
Can't figure out if he's good or bad.
Dark curses placed on Alibaba and Sinbad are nice motivators.
Well, at least this gave us a new adventure & a new dungeon.


Hakkenden Touhou Hakken Ibun

Events on the train were pretty LOL

Next stage of training will begin soon.

Killua never ceases to amaze me.
The sports battle theme this time was unusual.
It was also interesting to watch.

Fairy Tail



Episode 170

That little summary at the beginning was kinda unnecessary.
It was pretty obvious Wendy was the underdog in that fight.
Sometimes, even an underdog can surprise.
Yajima saved Jellal's ass at least temporarily.
It's just too dangerous for him to be around.
Interesting episode.


Shinsekai Yori



Episode 21

This anime has become really dark.
OMG! Maria is the fiend.
I suspected it had to be one of those kids.
Shisei seemed like the hero they needed.
Yakomaru truly is a genius.
Using human children against humans, brilliant.
Future is looking pretty bad.


Jojo's Bizarre Adventure


Episode 20

The bit about Caesar's past was interesting.
Wham was pretty impressive.
His powers are unique and he knows how to use them.
The battle between those two was just awesome.
I was kinda surprise Wham was honorable.
Shame about Caesar, but his last deed was a truly noble one.


OreShura



Episode 8

Eita investigating Ai. Looks like he'll anything for the club.
It's always LOL to see Eita freak when Masuzu reads from his Notebook.
Ine the cinema part was pretty awkward. Those girls behaved like they've never been to a cinema before.
That was just beyond weird.

Psycho-Pass


Episode 18

Makishima escaped once again.
That chief cyborg is really getting on my nerves.
Kougami has become too much of threat for her.
She actually pushed Ginoza to kill Kougami, incredible.
He was lucky Akane stunned him to save him.


Robotics;Notes



Episode 18

So, Kimijima reports are out.
Kai feeling serious remorse about Mizuka.
Aki & Kai at the Expo with GunPro-2.
Seems like it's all connected to Aki's sister and her company.
It's a shame people didn't appreciate their robot as much just 'cause it's Gunvarrel.
It was cruel how Misa treated Aki...
This episode sure was interesting!


Maoyuu Maou Yuusha


Episode 8

Hero was really keen on having his party.
Also keen on showing his friend that demons and humans can live in peace.
Maou was having an adventure of her own.
Knight was being weird again...
I really don't get what's up with her.
The church and the whole potatoes thing is ridicules.


Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?


Episode 7

Short gift game part was nice. The prophesied demon lord attack wasn't.
Asuka's little fairy friend was pretty cute and nice.
The sudden rat attack was unexpected.
Letitia sure came in handy at the last moment.
Onsen scenes pretty much made up for the lack of actual gift game fights.


Code: Breaker





OVA 1

Valentine's day & White Day theme.
Sakura was really popular with the guys.
Ogami missed out 'cause of Sakura.
Toki bagged a pretty big amount of chocolates.

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

Naruto Shippuuden


Episode 301

Sometimes I have a feeling they keep Naruto around out of habit.
If this was any other anime, it would have been cancelled a thousand times over.
The shinobi wars arc has painfully slow plot and too many flashbacks.
It's also too repetitive and you can skip like 5 or more episodes and not miss anything.
All of that just makes it boring. No wonder most people gave up on it.
I still don't get why I'm watching it, and then I see Naruto pull off an attack and remember.
Boy, do I miss the good old Naruto days from the beginning of the anime.


Magi


Episode 19

Aladdin learning something new about magic again.
Well, it's about time he harnessed his full potential.
Alibaba learning how to fight properly.
Little visit from the Kou empire royalty was interesting.
That princess totally lost it when she saw Sinbad LOL
Well, no wonder since she went through his naked drunk phase.


Kotoura-san



Episode 7

Manabe and Haruka's grandpa are really similar.
Both of them are equally perverted LOL
When Manabe fed Moritani her food I totally ROFL-ed
Moritani's cooking is dangerous on many levels.
Pretty fun episode this time.


Zetsuen no Tempest



Episode 19

Things are starting to unravel slowly.
More flashback of Aika this time as well.
Yoshino and Mahiro dealing with the whole Aika thing...
Well, at least they are finally discussing it.
Hakaze still clinging to Yoshino... lol
Her new plan sounds pretty intriguing.

Amnesia



Episode 7

Seems like she switched to Kento this time.
He's an interesting, but kinda lost.
Festival was nice...
Wow, how many of them has she dated so far? Seems a lot.
Yet, he's the only one who figured out the truth about her memories.
Every episode is dedicated to her and one of the guys.
Each time it's her and a different guy.
At least this way we can get to know the male characters better.

Anime Movies - A Letter to Momo / Momo e no Tegami

This was a relaxing anime movie about a girl called Momo after losing her father. Things were rather uneventful at first, but that changed pretty quick. After looking at some ancient storybook some of the things suddenly became real. Even the local kids she was hanging out with couldn't change that scaredy cat. Somehow, even though she had a chance to have friends there, she chose to be alone most of the time. Seems like the ability to see those yokai creatures runs in Momo's family. That girl really needed to find some courage. Her reactions to everything were overemphasized.
Well, at least those three goofballs of a yokai were fun to have around. They were also a lot of trouble since getting them to listen to any reason was hard. No matter how strange they were, she considered them as friends after all. The adventures she had with them were certainly irreplaceable. Momo learned a lot and went through a lot because of them as well. This was a summer she'll never forget.
It truly is an interesting movie worth watching.


Plot:
Momo Miyaura is a shy and imaginative 11-year-old girl who is suffering because of her father's recent death and the resultant extreme changes in her life. From the big city of Tokyo, Momo's family moves to her mother's childhood home, a remote island named Shio. Momo does not adapt well to her new surroundings. Her father left her an unfinished letter containing only two words, "Dear Momo". As she tries to make sense of these two words and guess what her father was trying to tell her, some strange incidents occur on the island, which is otherwise tranquil. People's orchards are ransacked by an unknown person, and some of their prized belongings start to go missing. Momo also starts to hear strange sounds coming from the attic in her house.
Momo's mother refuses to believe Momo about the strange sounds from the attic, so Momo herself embarks on an adventure to discover the source of these disturbances. During her investigations, Momo meets up with Kawa, Mame and leader Iwa, a group of imps, each of which have a different personality. In addition, Momo discovers that the mysterious two-word letter from her father is connected to all the strange occurrences, and to her arrival at Shio.

Asakeno certainly jumped to conclusions.
Attacking Shino and Sousuke like that.
Looks like the monkey deity has been purifying the contamination.
Poor moneky was just feeling lonely...
No wonder it snapped when it lost the only thing is got left.
Nice episode.

Hunter x Hunter


Episode 67

Genthru and his crew collecting cards.
Those guys are really keen on getting all of them fast.
Gon and Killua are collecting cards pretty vigorously as well.
Their tactics to swap Leave cards for the ones they need is a good idea.
It was nice of them to save those villagers and profitable too.
Teaming up to get Patch of Shore, hope it will be a smart thing.


Bakuman 3



Episode 20

Hiramaru was acting weird as usual, just a bit braver.
He really is lucky Aoki likes him too.
The amusement park date was really nice.
OMG!!! She actually accepted the proposal! I'm glad for them ^^
Seems like more and more of them are getting paired up.
Well, at least Vol. 1 is selling pretty good, but not as well as Zombie Gun.
Niizuma really likes those two.
Guess 'cause he considers them true rivals.
Looks like Reversi could be getting an anime soon.

So raven Tail finally showed their true color.
A guild made up of people who want to destroy Fairy Tail.
Looks like master figured it on own his on a while back.
I was glad Laxus finally unleashed himself on Raven Tail.
It was just awesome!
Raven Tail paid the ultimate price on the tournament.
Disqualification + a 3 year ban from the games.
Wendy vs Cheria! Those two are really alike.
It was an amazing battle, but I seriously doubt Wendy will win.
Loved this episode. Finally some justice for Fairy Tail.


Shinsekai Yori



Episode 20

Didn't think she would be so bold when it comes to Eita.
On the other hand, he will suffer for it.
Supplemental summer classes turned out to be interesting.
Looks like he got yet another girl for his harem.
I don't get it. Why are all the girls so hung up on him? He's nothing special.


Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Zetsuen no Tempest



Episode 18

Things seem to be on some kind of a weird loop.
If Hakaze somehow killed Aika, then it was all to get Mahiro and Yoshino to get her off the island.
Without that those two would never do what they had done so far.
Oh, this plot is getting seriously twisted.
Yoshino's behavior is getting weird too.
Wonder who's gonna snap and do something stupid first, Hakaze or Yoshino?
Guess it was Hakaze even though I was expecting Yoshino..


Robotics;Notes



Episode 17

Their club got disbanded.
Well, not wonder considering what happened to Subaru.
The worst was that they have to dismantle all their robots.
Aki took it the hardest of them all, but put on a brave face.
Kai vs Aki on Kill Ballad. I was nice since he probably let her win.
The dream of expo almost got extinguished, but luckily hope arrived at the last moment.
Seems like Kai unleashed Kimijima Reports all over the world unintentionally.


Maoyuu Maou Yuusha



Episode 7

 Peace, tranquility and day to day problems.
That pretty much summed up this episode.
Hero vs Knight training session/fun was nice.
Seems like the knight is having a crush on our Hero ^^
Looks like she's not the only one LOL
So their secret weapon is a printing press.
The midnight "tea party" was fun ^^


Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?


Episode 6

So those three decided to go to a festival on their own.
That certainly pissed off Black Rabbit girl.
Who knew that world is so huge, just amazing.
Shiroyasha is an interesting one. Always has some card up the sleeve.
It was fun watching pissed of Black Rabbit chase those 3 around town LOL
Izayoi overdid it with the fight though.

Naruto Shippuuden


Episode 300

The battles continue.
I'm starting to feel sorry for the undead shinobi.
It's kinda sad what they're forced to do.
Nice battles though.
I wish old Naruto from the beginnings would come back.
These new episodes are pretty much shameful.


Gintama



Episode 262

What a shame.
This episode was just a re-run.
Yup, NOT a filler, but an actual re-run.
It's fun.... if you haven't watched it before.


Psycho-Pass



Episode 17

Finally, the ordeal with the helmets is over.
This whole incident seriously shook up the system.
Makishima escaped once again. No surprise there.
So the old woman, Kasei, had him with her.
Their whole discussion was sort of disturbing.
OMG! Sybil system is truly a sick thing.
Hope Kogami and the rest find out the truth soon.


Kotoura-san



Episode 6

Summer vacation.
It's really nice watching this kind of episode in the middle of winter.
Moritani is a weird one. Keeps balancing between good and bad.
Watching them explore that abandoned hospital was fun.
Haruka's grandpa is a serious freak.
Beach fun part was pretty LOL

Episode 6

Ikki is hanging around our heroine more and more.
He is really getting attached to her a lot.
Looks like there is more to him than just his player persona.
His confession was really nice.
That guy has shown many different sides of him so far.
She's still too passive..
Ikki's fan club girls are kinda scary.
The whole boat-sinking-drowning thing was rather naive.

Japan Shopping - Uta no Prince and Code: Breaker collectibles

I really went all out with this shopping thing. This is the most frequent Japan shopping spree I ever had. LOL
This time I got mostly Uta no Prince stuff and one Code: Breaker collectible. From Uta no Prince I got Sho Kurusu mini mini alarm clock, Sho Kurusu microfiber mini towel, Ichinose Tokiya and Otoya Ittoki door plates. From Code: Breaker I got Toki microfiber mini towel. 
I must admit all the items look way cooler in person than they do in a web shop. The most surprising were the door plates since they are really big, way bigger than I thought they would be. Mini towels are really cute and so is the chibi alarm clock. I'm really happy I got these items because they're amazing collectibles.

The giant ape in the woods was kinda surreal.
It was pretty helpful and peaceful though.
Shino clinging to Sousuke was pretty LOL
Investigation of the village was interesting.


Kiss x Sis 


OVA 8

It's been a while since the previous ova.
About time they released one too.
Sensei's visit was kinda weird.
Especially her behavior... taking too much liberties.

I'm amazed he managed to keep his cool with all those girls.


Bakuman 3 


Episode 19

Mashiro planed everything nicely.
Hope Ogawa will be able to manage the assistants.
PCP moving on to middle school and Reversi coming out soon.
Looks like Mashiro overestimated the time needed to finish everything in time.
Luckily Ogawa rescued them all by adding more assistants.
They got first place again and again, cool! ^-^
Niizuma is not a fool, he knows how to get more readers.
His tactics are amazing.
They'll have to make Reversi the best it can be no matter how long or short it will be.
