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

One Piece


Episode 602

It's kinda sad everyone pretty much stopped commenting on new episodes.
Guess people have had enough of this Punk Hazard arc.
I wish thing would be like before, when it interesting to watch every episode.
Caesar's laughter is really starting to annoy me.
That slime weapon really seems unstoppable.
Wonder how Luffy and the crew are save things this time..


Hunter x Hunter


Episode 86

Sometimes it's just scary how Gon can be so positive.
OMG, that Palm sure is one creepy girl ^^"
So Gon & Killua have another task ahead.
Guess the point of that would be for them to get stronger so they could fight against chimera ants later on.
Looks like it's gonna take a while before those two are ready.


Shingeki no Kyojin



Episode 13

A short recap at the beginning was good.
It was nice that Eren pulled himself together.
Luckily Armin succeeded in snapping Eren back.
Things are finally starting to feel hopeful.
The cleanup took a while. So many casualties...
That win didn't seem like a win since so many had lost their lives.
It feels kinda unfair they're still treating Eren like an enemy..


Suisei no Gargantia



Episode 13 Final

As I suspected, the mecha was behind it all.
That thing was seriously delusional..
It was kinda fun watching two mechas have a discussion.
Chamber actually managed to surprise me with his responses.
Things were pretty intense for the humans as well.
Wow, amazing final episode!


Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san Z



Episode 13 Final

Looks like Azazel was being overly dramatic.
But watching the new power crazy Azazel was cool.
His girlfriend is one crazy b*tch.
Kiyoko is definitely the strong one, while Azzie is totally useless ^^"
Fun final episode.

Karneval




Episode 13 Final

Gareki guilt tripping himself.
Well, he does need help a lot in fights.
He should have gotten stronger earlier since Nai keeps attracting trouble.
Lots of action this time, but for a final episode that's kinda expected.
It was nice seeing how strong Yogi have gotten.
Nai - Karoku reunion was interesting.
The ending was not what I expected, but it was ok.


Space Brothers


Episode 64

Mutta was having concentration problems.
It was understandable consider recent events.
Lots of flashbacks to Sekira's explanations.
They were quite useful to fill in the gaps.
Interesting, but kinda sad episode.

Current anime episodes comments - Hataraku Maou-sama!, Kakumeiki Valvrave

Hataraku Maou-sama!


Episode 13 Final

Chiho and Emilia's dreams were kinda LOL
Guess both of them have subconscious fears.
Looks like their troubles were far from over.
That Emilia is always so suspicious...
It really is a hard life for Ashiya and Maou.
Their own blunders certainly make their lives interesting.
It would be fun to watch a 2nd season of this ^^
Judging by the unfinished feeling the final episode gives, there is probably gonna be another season.


Kakumeiki Valvrave



Episode 12 Final

So L-Elf comes head to head with his teacher/Cain.
That man knows no mercy.
It was interesting watching confrontations on 2 different fields.
I was glad that Akira finally overcame her fears of outside world.
Wow! That Unit 2 looks impressive.
Another unfinished final episode. Guess there's probably gonna be 2nd season.

Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 319

Another side story to fill in the gaps.
So this time it's about Sasori and Chiyo.
This episode was pretty sad actually.
It was like they made a deliberate emphasis on loss, pain and family.
It was kinda fun at the end though ^^


Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000%



Episode 13 Final

So this battle is actually about Nanami on top of other stuff.
Well, looks like 2000% took the victory over Heavens.
It was nice, but also expected victory.
Watching Heavens shocked faces was kinda nice.
The battle of the managers was interesting.
The finale was awesome!! I was surprised to hear their debut song again.
It really was the best possible episode end!


Devil Survivor 2


Episode 13 Final

Hibiki vs Yamato!
Now that was one epic fight.
Their deep conversation was interesting... dilemmas, dilemmas..
Hibiki's intentions to help out a friend were truly admirable.
Demonic fusion was impressive and made the fight way better!
Awesome final episode!!

One Piece



Episode 601

So Caesar got the kids back.
It was nice that at least one of them realized the truth.
Vego - Caesar partnership is working out great so far.
The experiment seems unstoppable...
Wonder how all of this is gonna work out.


Hunter x Hunter


Episode 85

Wow! Neferpitou really is strong.
I was surprised Kite got hurt so easily.
Those royal guards are not joke.
For now, she's the only one, but getting rid of chimera ants will be very hard.
Killua was pretty down after that incident.
Looks like the big guns are here now. Wonder how they'll do.


Shingeki no Kyojin



Episode 12

Mikasa definitely is the bravest one of them all.
Armin is not far behind.
I still don't get why Eren-titan went crazy.
Looks like he's doesn't have the control over his powers.
That city is in serious trouble.
Situation is getting out of hand.


Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san Z


Episode 12

Azazel was pathetic again.
Incubus totally took over his life.
Well, it was his own fault.
It was about time he snapped.


Suisei no Gargantia



Episode 12

Looks like Ledo liked Gargantia more than this new fleet.
It was a warm and cheerful place.
This one is just dark, depressing and unforgiving.
His commanders' new ways are not sitting well with Ledo.
It was nice Pinion and the others joined in to help the fight.
Wow, an unexpected surprise in the end.
Can't wait to see the final episode!

Date A Live


Episode 12 Final

Fun times at the amusement park were nice.
Shido - Kotori heart to heart was kinda LOL
Especially when she read the situation wrong ^^"
Origami's attack was just a matter of time.
That girl really wanted revenge at any cost.
The ending kinda felt unfinished.
Guess 'cause the 2nd season is coming.


Space Brothers


Episode 63

Sharon seems to be having some medical problems.
Looks like Mutta and the others have to do a lot of studying.
At least Hibito had some free time to spend with her.

Hataraku Maou-sama!



Episode 12

Ashiya was totally guilt tripping himself.
It was pretty LOL to watch, but also pathetic.
Maou sure is a responsible one.
Guess the human world transformed him into a normal person.
Olba is the only one that I can't stand in this anime.
Looks like Olba did something that evens the odds.
Sariel was definitely the biggest loser of this episode.
Awesome episode!!


Kakumeiki Valvrave



Episode 11

Rukino & Haruto situation was somewhat delicate.
It was nice watching their little date.
Shame the attack interrupted it.
Akira really doesn't cope well with the outside world.
Hope she resolves her problems..
L-Elf is a brilliant strategist. I'm amazed every time.
On the other hand that baldy Dorssian was really annoying.
Shoko had a really hard decision to make. She made the right choice.
Wow, the ending of this episode sure was surprising!


Karneval



Episode 12

Gareki & Yogi on a mission ^^
It was fun watching their plan unfold.
I was happy for Nai's chance to find his friend.
Circus turned that infiltration into a full blown fight.

So we got to see Bee after a while.
Fukai vs Bee. That was kinda interesting.
Flashbacks to the past filled up the story nicely.
Guess they're continuing with side character stories.


Red Data Girl



Episode 12 Final

Suzuhara... was waiting for her to change, but nothing.
Masumi was being selfish..
Sagara was the true hero of this anime.
He did all the heavy lifting.
The ending was nice.
Not gonna miss this anime much.


Uta no Prince 2



Episode 12

Preparing for the big battle of the bands.
Cecil contributed with his weird dance moves.
Well, if it helps them win....
Heavens performance was impressive.
No wonder Starish had worried faces.
Things will get interesting, but we'll have to wait till final episode.


Devil Survivor 2



Episode 12

Alcor vs Yamato!
Looks like the trials are not over yet.
Hibito's interference didn't do any good.
It was a pretty nice fight though.
I don't see Hibito could do much in the current ominous situation.
The situation seems too far gone.

One Piece



Episode 600

Caesar got the kids back rather easily.
What can be better than candy to get them back.
Especially in their withdrawal state.
It was nice that Brownbeard came to his senses.
Seems like Caesar is not done with his experimenting.


Hunter x Hunter



Episode 84

That annoying rabbit Rammot can use Nen.
The fight with chimera ants was hard enough before.
Now that they know how to use Nen it's gonna get harder.
In any case this should make things much more interesting.
It not good the royal guards are awake.


Shingeki no Kyojin



Episode 11

Eren situation was a bit too much for some.
Well, they could use all the advantage they could get.
Pixis sure knows how to motivate people.
Looks like Titans are not the only enemy humanity has.
But I guess they'll have to deal with one problem at the time..


Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san Z


Episode 11

Azazel sure has one psycho girl.
Kiyoko and his mom were LOL
Azazel was pathetic.
The new character is pretty sweet ^^
Incubus totally rocked!


Suisei no Gargantia



Episode 11

Ledo - Commander reunion.
Pinion really is an idiot sometimes.
Looks like Commander got himself a nice cult.
Things are about to change for the worse.
The next two episodes should be very interesting.

The whole pool - swimsuits thing kinda lightened the mood.
This was a fun episode.
Especially the part at the pool.


Space Brothers


Episode 62

Hibito is finally back.
It nice that everything went well.
They were feeling the change in gravity though.
While Hibito was resting, Mutta was working hard.
Amanti's prophecy put Mutta in worry mode.

Hataraku Maou-sama!



Episode 11

Feeling sorry for Ashiya... wish he would get better.
Suzuno's little plan was uncalled for.
Guess she still hasn't seen the light.
Seems like everyone had a harder life in the old country.
All of them are enjoying themselves here on some level.
This is a nice anime with loads of unused potential.

Recently, I'm having a feeling that all the latest anime are kinda slow.
The plots develop slowly and when something finally starts happening it's in the final episode...


Kakumeiki Valvrave



Episode 10

So the truth about behind the school is slowly coming out.
Honestly, it was about time something like that surfaced.
It will make things more interesting, at least for the final 2 episodes.
So far, the students have been doing pretty well considering.
Tokishima's hunger is starting to affect him more often though.
Well... he had to "feed" on someone...


Karneval


Episode 11

Yanari joined the happy group on their day off. Nyanperona
Gareki is always so moody and grumpy.
Nai is his polar opposite.
So this time it's Yanari's sad story.
Guess the kid just needed some friends..
Karoku finally made contact with Nai.
Things are finally starting to move forward.
I was kinda surprised Hirato gave his blessing and full support for the rescue.

Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 317

Another blast from the past flashback episode.
This time about the bug boy and Torune.
Shino vs Torune was nice.
Those two were some similar once.
It's a shame their choices put them on opposite sides.


Uta no Prince 2



Episode 11

Nanami was feeling the pressure.
Ichinose is always so cold and distant, so serious.
The other characters are not like him at all.
When it comes to performance, his attitude totally changes.
I guess he was the motivation she needed.
It was nice watching all of them cheer her up ^^
Really nice episode this time.


Red Data Girl



Episode 11

This anime is good, but the story is stretched.
Takayanagi just never stops with his plans.
He's kinda pathetic, always hiding behind homunculi.
Suzuhara gets influenced rather easily.
Sagara sure has his hands full with watching over her.
Wow! It was about time Izumiko snapped at Takayanagi.
Sure was nice to see that ^^


Devil Survivor 2



Episode 11

Alcor seems to like humans more than his friends.
The final trial is finally here.
Flashbacks to Hibiki's past were nice.
The latest, final monster really was tough.
It's abilities were really scary and dangerous.
