Current anime episodes comments - Naruto Shippuuden, Kill la Kill, Strike the Blood, Outbreak Company, Log Horizon, Space Brothers, Kuroko's Basketball 2, One Piece

Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 336

More about Kabuto...
As a kid he was quite different from the monster he has become.
Looks like the orphanage was the only thing he cared about.
Well... after that point his life was not rosy at all.
It was interesting to find out more about him.
The dark side seems more appealing when you're desperate enough..


Kill la Kill

Episode 5

Lots of amazing fights this time as well.
Matoi was really cool this time, but a bit too cocky.
She was grounded pretty fast.
The new serious opponent looked different than those school thugs.
Mako rules so far! Her explanations are just ROFL
She's a great friend too.
Really interesting and fun episode.


Strike the Blood



Episode 5

Pretty regular school stuff with some supernatural add-on.
The unavoidable sports tournament this time (well, just the prep part).
This episode definitely felt more harem-like..
Those two looked even more like a couple ^^
It all felt like intro into the main event.
Guess we'll see more next time..


Outbreak Company


Episode 5

It's always interesting and fun watching Kanou teach ^^
Those "kids" sure have adapted to otaku ways rather easily.
Miusel truly is like a real life game/visual novel/manga/anime character.
I kinda like her the most of all the girls.
Elbia is sort of ok, but she totally has a scary side.
Fun episode.


Log Horizon



Episode 5

The mystery of food taste was finally revealed LOL
They sure made a big deal out of it.
The camping part was fun to watch, also relaxing.
NPCs were really interesting and totally different.
We also got to see a bit of Shiroe's past in the game as well.


Space Brothers



Episode 80

Finally, some Mutta focus.
Butler was totally funny with his reaction to Mutta ROFL
It was nice seeing Kenji and Nitta again.
Looks like the swimming pool isn't Mutta's thing ^^"
He's also totally clueless about Hibito's situation.


Kuroko's Basketball 2



Episode 5

Looks like Kagami and Kuroko were having problems this time.
The game with Shutoku was really intense.
Midora was forced to change his game style quite a bit.
That means that Kagami and the rest rose their game to a new level.
Both teams were equally determined to win.


One Piece



Episode 619

So it's time for Franky to shine.
It's been quite a while since we saw him in action.
His ingenuity amazes me every time.
Also, it's very practical that he's a robot.
I really hope they'll get the kids off the island soon.
They've spent more than enough time there.
Looks like this arc is almost over.

Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Magi 2, Gingitsune, Yowamushi Pedal, Hunter x Hunter, Tokyo Ravens, Kyoukai no Kanata, Coppelion

One Piece


Episode 618

Wonder if and how are they gonna change Momonosuke into a child again.
It was nice to see all of them reunited.
Luffy can be so stubborn sometimes..
Things are moving forward and more off the island.
New characters should make things lively again.


Magi 2



Episode 4

Finally some action.
Interesting to see pirates and magic mix.
Aladdin was on his way to that magic school before all the trouble started.
The school's emblem seems to appearing on unexpected things.
I wonder if going there is even a good idea..
Alibaba is kinda acting weird when it comes to full-djinn equip.
He so needs to practice it more..


Gingitsune



Episode 4

It was fun watching Saeki freak out about the new guest.
Satoru was a bit on the serious side.
Haru... well, it's nice to see another fox spirit.
Their arrival sure made things awkward..
Honestly, Haru sure has a big mouth that can't say anything nice.


Yowamushi Pedal


Episode 4

I really like Naruko. He's something between Natsu & Naruto.
He's like totally excitable and flammable!
Nothing seems to be irrelevant or unimportant for him.
Nice to see Onoda's bike got a small, yet interesting upgrade.
He still needs to learn a lot about bike though..
Great episode, very exciting!


Hunter x Hunter


Episode 102

Looks like Gon will learn a few useful things.
That chameleon guy is really nice.
It would be cool if Gon would adapt some of his abilities.
Most of the episode were those two talking.
They did manage to squeeze in some other plot progress.


Tokyo Ravens



Episode 4

New school, new characters, new possibilities.
So far it's looking good.
Their new class was rather interesting as well ^^
Natsume was all weird and awkward..
Seems like everyone was clued in except Harutora.
Is he stupid, blind or just an airhead? Well... he is blond ^^"
So an airhead has an airhead familiar too.
At least Kon's cute, but a bit on the psycho side...


Kyoukai no Kanata


Episode 5

Consequences from previous episode..
Guess they were treated lightly after all.
Pretty relaxed episode, at least the first half.
More normal (school) life than before.
Second half definitely improved the overall impression.
Looks like Akihito is a good influence on Kuriyama.
Her behavior and self confidence have definitely improved.


Coppelion



Episode 5

Things are certainly becoming more and more interesting.
At first, the plot was kinda slow and predictable, but it's not anymore.
The plot has suddenly taken an even more interesting turn.
It's amazing how resourceful people can be when pushed far enough.
Great episode, can't wait to see how it's gonna play out.

Current anime episodes comments - Naruto Shippuuden, Kill la Kill, Strike the Blood, Outbreak Company, Log Horizon, Space Brothers, Kuroko's Basketball 2

Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 335

That Kabuto really is a snake. His new look suits him well.
He's really good in making people doubt themselves and others.
Well, it was interesting to see how his mind works.
Looks like all 3 of them have a lot in common..
After learning more about Kabuto's life, it's kinda hard to hate him..
Lost, abandoned and lonely child yearning for kindness.
Never would have guessed..
Very enlightening episode.


Kill la Kill



Episode 4

Mako is totally LOL
She makes me laugh quite a lot.
This anime wouldn't be as good without her goofy character.
Matoi had quite a challenge this time.
Damn, that school is never boring!
Great episode, loads of fun!


Strike the Blood



Episode 4

Things got pretty interesting this time.
It was nice to see the plot got a move on.
They also released some new info about the island.
It sure explained quite a few things.
Was interesting to see those two working like a true team.
Action parts were really good and the episode was the best so far.


Outbreak Company


Episode 4

Kanou became a real school teacher LOL
Seems he's been teaching them pretty obscene things.
And he's not the only one... ^^"
They are trying really hard to bring the otaku culture.
Kanou has been collecting girls... his personal harem.
Well, at least there his dreams can come true..
I like the new character, looks interesting.


Log Horizon



Episode 4

So they finally reached their destination.
I don't get why everyone was so intent on having Serara.
The poor girl is truly in a lot of trouble.
She's so sweet, I never would have guessed..
The intro fight was nice, but they could've dropped the explanations.
Main fights were pretty much awesome!


Space Brothers


Episode 79

So far Hibito's stellar career has been taking a nose dive.
Mutta is going up, while his brother is falling down..
How the tables have turned.
I wish they'd finished this Hibito drama by now. It's been stretched for too long.
Or maybe they're doing it to slowly introduce Olga as his love interest.
Think she's way too young for him.. She's just a kid who's still in high school.


Kuroko's Basketball 2



Episode 4

Kuroko's new move looks impressive.
He needs to practice it some more though.
Looks like other teams are advancing nicely as well.
This anime is revealing the secret world of basketball.
First there was the "Generation of Miracles" and now the "Uncrowned Kings".
It's like they're some kind of scary gangs or something LOL
Each season a new "gang" appears.. Well ,they have to make things interesting ^^
New game certainly sent the sparks flying all over the place.

Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Magi, Gingitsune, Yowamushi Pedal, Diabolik Lovers, Hunter x Hunter, BlazBlue - Alter Memory, Tokyo Ravens, Kyoukai no Kanata, Coppelion

One Piece



Episode 617

Law really did a number on Vergo.
Caesar was getting pretty desperate for a moment there.
At least now he has shown his true side to his subordinates.
I like seeing Luffy mad, that means a fight is up next!
Judging how things are going, this arc is nearing its end..


Magi


Episode 3

So Aladdin is going off to school..
It was kinda ridicules how Alibaba was awkward about it.
He was making a big deal out of something that wasn't.
And it was all his fault... He really is an idiot sometimes.
Pretty relaxed episode this time.
You wouldn't miss much if you decide to skip it.


Gingitsune



Episode 3

A new adventure for Saeki.
Well, her adventures are not what you'd expect, that's for sure.
It was nice seeing that there are more heralds than just Gin.
This was a really nice epsiode.
I really enjoyed watching it and the new info was nice too ^^


Yowamushi Pedal



Episode 3

It was pretty intense watching Onoda give it his all on that mommy bike.
He was just amazing considering the bike handicap!!
Onoda sure gave Imaizumi a challenge he wasn't expecting ^^
On the other hand this whole race gave him an interesting experience.


Diabolik Lovers



Episode 6

Yui is still so hopeless...
I just can't figure that girl out.
She seems to be hanging a lot with Kanato.
Wish she'd give the same amount of time to other characters as well.
Kanato seems to be the weirdest, but none of them are nice.
The only thing giving this anime plot are the bits and pieces about Yui's mysterious past.


Hunter x Hunter


Episode 101

Killua & that octopus were LOL
Well, the octopus was pretty funny with its surprised reactions.
It completely sucks getting on Killua's bad side..
The darts game was very cruel and made me feel uneasy.
On the positive side, things did turn out unexpectedly, but also good.
I like the idea that more and more chimera ants are switching sides.


BlazBlue - Alter Memory


Episode 3

I'm completely lost..
This is 3rd episode in a row with no explanation that could help people like me who haven't played the games.
I like the main character, but the plot desperately needs explanation.
They could've throw in some info. This way it's just confusing and pointless.
Decided to drop this... it really is such a shame.


Tokyo Ravens



Episode 3

Things took an interesting turn.
Resurrection, successful or not, always comes with a price.
Harutora was pretty LOL and kinda useless too.
Guess he didn't think through this "being a familiar" thing.
Suzuka... don't know if I should feel sorry for her or just hate her.
Would be nice if Hokuto would come back in some other form.


Kyoukai no Kanata


Episode 4

Interesting episode.
Seems this one put Kuriyama into a tight spot.
The past came to haunt her in a most unusual way.
But seriously, the enemy this time was really difficult and challenging.
It was interesting to see Akihito's "other" side as well.
Great episode!


Coppelion 


Episode 4

Yeah, it's pretty obvious the US are dropping nuclear waste.
That explains the increase in radioactivity.
It's interesting how they exploit a bad situation and make it worse.
That's literally dumping your problems on others.
I'm amazed with the way some people think, it's like they're not even human..
Even though the Professor was to blame for a lot of things, I still felt sorry for him.
At least the guy tried to make amends..

Current anime episodes comments - Hunter x Hunter, BlazBlue - Alter Memory, Tokyo Ravens, Kyoukai no Kanata, Coppelion, Kill la Kill, Outbreak Company, Strike the Blood, Log Horizon, Space Brothers, Kuroko's Basketball 2

Hunter x Hunter



Episode 100

It's ridicules how much time hunters need to take out the ants.
Compared to the Phantom Troupe's swift justice, they're like snails.
The situation keeps getting worse and worse all the time.
Watching Killua fight was just awesome this time!
I must admit I like him more than Gon..
The octopus was just LOL ^^"


BlazBlue - Alter Memory


Episode 2

Starting off episode 2 with a fight.. not bad at all.
Well, can't say it was an easy fight, but it was nice to watch.
Chick fight was a nice bonus though.
This anime hasn't been lacking action at all.
On the contrary, so far it seems to be lacking plot.
Still have a feeling like I'm watching it from the middle..


Tokyo Ravens



Episode 2

Love problems are the worst..
It always complicates thing, especially when when more parties are involved.
That chibi girl sure is powerful and dangerous.
Action wasn't lacking this time.
That girl need some serious therapy.. maybe confused blondie might be able to help..
Wonder if those two will be friends or enemies considering what happened to Hokuto.
Poor guy lost something he never even knew he had all along.


Kyoukai no Kanata



Episode 3

So the scaredy cat girl decided money was worth overcoming her fears.
Interesting how necessity make you do things you don't want to do.
Their school stuff conversations are pretty basic though.
The best part is definitely youmu hunting.
I also like the Kuriyama - Akihito relationship.


Coppelion



Episode 3

Who knew the city would be that lively.
It appeared to be abandoned at first..
Who knew delivery man would be such a nice person.
Yeah, nice, but with a terrible past.. I knew there had to be a catch somewhere.
Those 3 girls are like help central for all in need of saving and evacuation.
This anime is looking more and more like what things would be if Fukushima had a meltdown..


Kill la Kill



Episode 3

Nice, finally some new info about the suit.
Looks like that homeroom teacher isn't half bad.
Seems like making a Kamui isn't as easy as one would expect.
So Satsuki pulled a desperate move.
Guess that explains just how much she feels threatened.
Watching those 2 fight was just epic!!


Outbreak Company


Episode 3

Petrarca sure can be annoying at times...
Luckily she show signs of normalcy once in a while.
One the other hand Miusel is much nicer and I like her more.
Little queen seems to be competing for Kanou's attention.
First day of school definitely didn't go well as planned.
Guess it was time for the first rebels to appear.


Strike the Blood


Episode 3

Lots of problems after the ordeal last time..
Guess they made a mess of things directly and indirectly as well.
Kojou and Himeragi do make a nice team despite the situation.
It was nice seeing Kojou angry again ^^
He has so much fighting potential, but needs a lot of practice.
At the moment, he just has the guts, but not the know how.


Log Horizon


Episode 3

Every rpg game has them, so why not this anime.
Guess skipping the cave/tunnel/crypt part is inevitable.
Well, it does make things more interesting.
Serara was totally LOL
Being a maid class totally suits her ^^
She was lucky that cat-guy saved her..


Space Brothers


Episode 78

I'm glad there aren't many episodes left or I would have dropped it.
Now, I'm gonna suffer till the end and hopefully get to see Mutta on the moon.
Looks like Olga's ballet struggle will help Hibito get a grip and move on.
It was totally fun watching Hibito pass "levels" ROFL
Mutta sure has been sidelined in the past few episodes..


Kuroko's Basketball 2



Episode 3

New basketball season, new uniforms and hopefully better play.
Looks like the competition has been training hard.
We'll see soon enough if Seirin is better this season.
So far, that Winter Cup talk sounds awfully serious when it comes to competition.
Must admit that Teppei was a nice surprise and Kagami was pretty LOL

Current anime episodes comments - Strike the Blood, Outbreak Company, Log Horizon, Uchuu Kyoudai, One Piece, Kuroko's Basketball 2, Magi 2, Gingitsune, Yowamushi Pedal, Diabolik Lovers

Strike the Blood



Episode 2

They sure showered us with new info this time.
The girl is totally clueless about living a normal life ^^"
Kojou is acting more like her boyfriend than like an observed individual.
Yukina is taking her observing a bit too far. She's too serious about it.
Was about time they showed some serious action as well.


Outbreak Company



Episode 2

Kanou should really watch what he's saying.
He is passionate about otaku stuff, but he's not thinking rationally when his beliefs are in question.
Guess he finally realized he was living in a totally different world..
So far things have been pretty peaceful, but looks like that'll change soon.


Log Horizon



Episode 2

Well, at least the players don't have to fear much in the game.
It would just be too easy and too safe that way.
I'm thinking there must be some catch to it all.
Guess it was about time players started to turn on each other..
Saw pretty much the same thing in SAO.
I like this anime. It's really fun at times.


Uchuu Kyoudai


Episode 77

Hibito has got it bad.
At this rate he'll never get better.
He's lucky his Russian astronaut friend still cares.
So Hibito got a lesson in hard work and not quitting when things get difficult.
I'm still puzzled that this anime got so many episodes since all of it could have been shortened into 12 to 24 episodes.


One Piece



Episode 616

Who knew Caesar would turn into such a wuss after getting punched.
Lots of drama on more than one field.
Smoker vs Vergo was pretty nice to watch.
I kinda felt sorry for Smoker though..
Looks like he wasn't up to the task of taking Vergo down.
The ending was just WOW!! I was totally impressed. Never saw that one coming.


Kuroko's Basketball

Episode 2

New season, new characters and new challenges.
It was fun watching Kagami explode ^^"
Well, they certainly made street ball more interesting.
Kagami can really be stubborn sometimes..
Kuroko's new technique seems very interesting.
Can't wait to see him implement it in a game.


Magi 2



Episode 2

Sinbad's display of power was interesting to watch.
Didn't think he was that powerful. It was a nice surprise.
Think it's gonna take Alibaba a lot of time to achieve that level.
Guess their powers are to transform and not to summon a djinn as a separate entity.
That is interesting and should make this season more appealing.


Gingitsune


Episode 2

Now I see how this is going to go.
Looks like each episode the girl will use the fox to solve her problems.
So far the most interesting character is the fox.
I just don't have the heart to drop this, it's too sweet and innocent.


Yowamushi Pedal



Episode 2

Onoda truly is an otaku through and through.
It's kinda funny how he doesn't see his potential past the anime.
Seems like each character has its own obsession.
Guess that race was exactly what Onoda needed.
Pretty intense episode.


Diabolik Lovers


Episode 5

So Yui found out more or less why she's stuck with those vamps.
Those brothers have some serious issues..
It's like each of them is broken in a unique way.
They are treating her worse than cattle.
I don't get this anime at all..
