Current anime episode comments - Isuca, Fairy Tail, Durarara!!x2, One Piece, Kuroko's Basketball 3, Junketsu no Maria, Seiken Tsukai no World Break, Kamisama Hajimemashita 2

Isuca



Episode 2

Shimazu sure can be stubborn.
Tama got lucky that Asano was so determined to save her.
Now he has a pet cat/girl.
By a weird twist of fate Asano got a job as Shimazu's housekeeper.
Guess those two are stuck together now.
Rat spirit made a mess this time.
Shimazu's fear or rats was ROFL
It was lucky for them that they have a cat now.
Taking life force was very ecchi *blush*
Our little trio is stuck together now.


Fairy Tail



Episode 43

Super monster transformation.
Damn, this felt so out of place for this anime.
The setting just felt wrong.
Don't like this arc.
Reminds me too much of Naruto fillers.
Hope Fairy Tail won't take the same direction..
Now that Natsu defeated the enemy things went back to normal.
Even the spirits were themselves again minus the memories of being bad.


Durarara!!x2



Episode 4

Poor Celty just can't catch a break..
Mikado got into a trouble of his own.
Celty got a bit ruff with those bikers w/some help LOL
Well, that was one way of getting rid of their tail.
Watching Shizuo snap is always so enjoyable ^^
Things played out in a fun way.
Seems like everyone had a get-together at Shinr & Celty's place.
Looks like Izaya was a bit jealous that he missed out..
So Aoba is planning to enter discord into Izaya's world.
That should be interesting to watch.


One Piece



Episode 680

It's still unbelievable to me that this anime wastes more then 5 minutes on recap & OP.
Destroying that factory is gonna be really hard.
Luffy vs Doflamingo!
Luffy was getting his ass kicked.
That Doflamingo bastard used his power "parasite" again.
It was the same as when the king was dethroned.
This episode was full of chaos..
Doflamingo really is the devil.
Let the bounty hunter game begin!


Kuroko's Basketball 3



Episode 4

Alex & Kagami morning situation was ROFL
It's been a while since the focus was on Kagami.
The shoes/sneakers situation was kinda funny too.
So Aomine & Kagami have the same shoe size... LOL
Rakuzan vs Seirin coming soon.
Looks like Rakuzan is gonna be a challenge for our guys.
Now Shutoku has to deal with them first!
Shame we don't get to see other games in more length.


Junketsu no Maria



Episode 4

Mercenaries playing bad & pillaging.
Of course Maria had to intervene..
Poor Maria stepped on Michael's & other witches toes.
Seems like Maria is really tempted in letting her virginity go.
Priapus & Ezekiel doing chores LOL
Nice episode.


Seiken Tsukai no World Break



Episode 4

Moroha & Maya roommates.
Well, the other girls certainly didn't like that.
Same poor Shizuno is bound by chains of family.
She's lucky to have a friend like Moroha.
He sacrificed his freedom for her.
Damn, didn't expect her to confess..
It was naive to expect that they would get away without a fight.
Moroha really pulled an ace out of his sleeve this time.
Great episode.


Kamisama Hajimemashita 2



Episode 4

Nanami sure is a persistent girl who only sees the best in everyone.
That's why she deserves to be the goddess of that shrine.
Kirihito's story got told.
It was an interesting twist of fate.
Getting out of the Netherworld was not easy.
No wonder Tomoe freaked when he heard what happened to her.
Poor Tomoe had a hard time reasoning with War God.
Things ended well, but I foresee problems with "Kirihito" in the future.

Junketsu no Maria



Episode 3

Reasoning with Michael.. a hard task.
Well damn, virginity vs magical powers..
Wonder how long she'll last.
Owl fight was LOL but they were right to push Ezekiel around for a bit.
Joseph obviously has a thing for Maria & now she knows it too.
England vs France just causes her to react every time.
The church seems to be taking more interest in Maria as well.
She's been warned twice now about messing with balance..
Being this stubborn will only bring her more trouble.


Seiken Tsukai no World Break



Episode 3

Yeah, the characters really do have eyes pretty wide apart.
I just noticed that... unusual.
The British customer was an interesting guy.
Moroha practice fight was short but sweet.
An input from a past life was interesting.
Dinner party was oh so formal.
Was nice to see them all dressed up.
A surprise fight was pretty good.


Kamisama Hajimemashita 2



Episode 3

Divine assembly time.
That god of war was very unpleasant.
Nanami looking for Mikage? She was pretty serious about it too.
Incredibly as always, she takes the most complicated jobs..
Otohiko was as fun as always..
Tomoe was completely out of it.. missing Nanami too much.
Netherworld adventure start!


Yowamushi Pedal



Episode 15

Naruko pulled the team ahead.
There's a climbers spirit in him.
He's a toal crowd pleaser.
That was a great way to lift the team's spirit!
Naruko totally took the spotlight this time.
It was nice to see Sohoku's hidden strategy.
Sprinting uphill. That was new & impressive as hell.
Naruko was pushing himself way beyond his limit.
No way!!! They caught up to Hakone! This was beyond amazing!!
Great episode!


Parasyte -the maxim-


Episode 16

P.I. got dealt with in the worst way.. losing his family.
Shinichi's fight continued.
It was very interesting observing their strategies.
5 on 1 was so not fair..
He barely managed to escape.
Those parasites aren't gonna stop trying to kill them.
Tamura found herself in trouble.
Guess her own kind thinks she's a threat.


Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 397

All that math was kinda confusing.
Signaling to each other was interesting to watch.
This was more of a psychological test than anything else.
Making people sweat and freak out.
That sure was a weird test.
Round 1 is finally over..


Tokyo Ghoul 2


Episode 4

A small part of Amon's past got revealed.
Guess you can never run far enough from a messed up past.
No wonder he became an investigator.
Aogiri attack came at an interesting time.
That ghoul prison sure offered a whole bunch of interesting characters.
So the halfling twins know Juzo... intriguing.
Kaneki proved once more that he's a weakling..


Death Parade



Episode 4

Another pair gets to play.
Arcade game this time.
Both of them were completely delusional.
The arcade thing was a classic fight game.
It was interesting to watch their flashbacks.
Damn, that lady snapped rather easily.
This was a weird one.

Friday, January 23, 2015

Current anime episodes comments - Death Parade, Assassination Classroom, Fairy Tail, Isuca, Durarara!!x2, One Piece, World Trigger, Kuroko's Basketball 3

Death Parade



Episode 3

A new pair plays a game.
This time it's bowling.
It's nice to see the new assistant play her part.
This new pair didn't seem like a couple at all.
Their behavior was innocent... like they had some hidden feelings.
Guess they don't have to be a couple after all.
Maybe just have some feelings for each other..
This episode wasn't as dramatic as first, but was more sad.


Assassination Classroom



Episode 3

Koro sensei sure is a fun creature ^^"
New gym class looked more like combat training.
Guess it will do them good in the future.
Karma is back... I kid you not.
Damn, that kid sure is a trouble maker.
He's probably the only one who can be a real threat to Koro sensei.
Karma seems to be exploiting all of his weak spots.
Koro retaliated with doing the same.
That kid was seriously damaged.
Koro just might rehabilitate him with time..


Fairy Tail



Episode 42

Celestial Spirit King out of control.
Guess that's the target for our team.
That 13th spirit went down rather easily.
It's time for a boss fight!
This is gonna need a serious team effort.
Maybe this arc will finally end in the the next episode or two..


Isuca



Episode 1

Interesting beginning.
That Asano guy is a monster magnet..
Or just has extremely bad luck.
The fight parts were pretty good.
This anime has potential.
I might give it a try.


Durarara!!x2



Episode 3

Looks like Ruri is that monster killer..
It does make sense.
Yuhei got himself in an interesting situation.
Doctor got himself into a mess as well.
The twins are Izaya's sisters?! No way!
That makes things even more interesting.
Fun episode ^^


One Piece



Episode 679

Sabo needs to learn some control of his new power.
That flashback gave us a nice reminder of the past.
Looks like the Revolutionary Army was also here.
Bartolomeo was throwing his usual fan boy fit.
Law was being unreasonable, but funny.
Pica was just being a nuisance.
Damn, I knew it was too easy for Doflamingo to die that way.
Not good at all..


World Trigger


Episode 15

Jin's sword was very cool looking.
His black trigger is impressive.
Tachikawa vs Jin continues..
It was pretty obvious he's way better than the team that attacked him.
Action filled episode with nice explanations.


Kuroko's Basketball 3



Episode 3

More info about Shougo.
He sure was a big middle schooler..
Kise was off his game for some time.
Looks like Shougo got to him in a bad way.
It was nice to Kise get a grip & find new strength.
Good episode.

Kuroko's Basketball 3


Episode 2

More about generation of miracles.
Damn, that Shougo is so easy to hate.
Kise vs Shougo! Wonder who's team is gonna win.
One this is true, Shougo sure can play & is fast too.
The game was intense, but enjoyable.
Shougo's older look/hair style was way cooler than this one.
Wonder why they changed it..
Kise is gonna have to overcome himself to win this thing.


World Trigger



Episode 14

Yuuma, Osamu and Chika get new triggers.
Triggers explained trough a fight - Jin vs those guys from last time.
That was a nice touch.
It was interesting watching them fight, but there were too many characters involved.
Jin vs Tachikawa fight was the best.
Guess it's not over yet..


Junketsu no Maria


Episode 2

I just don't know what to do with this one.
Drop it or keep watching?
It's weird, borderline too weird for my taste.
Artemis overdid it, but Maria finally saw something new.
Michael kept interfering with Maria's work.
Keeping balance is a good excuse to make.
The world is an unfair place.
Joseph pulled an interesting stunt.
Wonder if it'll cost him..
Will give it a few more episodes.


Seiken Tsukai no World Break


Episode 2

That Satsuki sure is pretty loud.
Urushibara and her are total opposites.
Joining Rank C was easy, but requires really good skills.
Urushibara is definitely the calm, collected type who thinks first.
Satsuki is so not.. ^^"
Those two hanging out was just unusual, but they make a good team.
Still, that wouldn't be complete without a hero to rescue them both.
Luckily, Moroha came running in with a cool display of power.


Imawa no Kuni no Arisu (Alice in Borderland)


OVA 2

Facing reality.
Let the deadly game of tag begin!
Sure was intense watching them try and outrun the killer.
Attacking it was just another mistake..
Damn, that was great!
I wish this was a regular anime series.
It certainly has potential.


Parasyte -the maxim-



Episode 15

Damn, those full parasites sure are cold & cruel.
Shinichi's fight with that guy was good.
Guess a regular parasyte is no match for him.
Shame he didn't manage to save that woman.
Kuramori was shocked by what he saw.
He got scared shitless and bailed on Shinichi.
Shinichi got to be the main topic of the parasites conversation.
All in all not good.
New type of parasyte, 3-in-1 deal & deadly too.
That's gonna be an epic fight!


Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 396

Still at it..
It was nice to see the younger versions once again.
The exam wasn't half bad either.
This feels like they are trying to return Naruto to it's beginnings.
Well, it was better then.
There weren't so many fillers and unnecessary skipping around.


Tokyo Ghoul 2



Episode 3

Making a move.
One-eyed ghouls made an appearance.
Looks like they have some interest in Kaneki.
Touka getting the college experience.. sort of.
Things were pretty calm though.
Felt more like a preparation for something more.

Parasyte -the maxim-


Episode 14

Izumi sure is changing... feels like he's slowly losing his humanity.
The more he clings to humanity, the more he loses it.
That nosy guy sure was persistent.
It was nice to watch Migi put him in his place.
Tamura pulled a fast one over Shinichi again..


Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 395

Still on the Chunin exam..
Guess we're stuck in the past for now.
Milking that cow hard...
It's good to be reminded of some things.
But this is just taking it too far when we're so close to the end.


Tokyo Ghoul 2



Episode 2

Things went back to normal, more or less.
It was pretty quiet this time too.
More time was dedicated to investigators & the aftermath.
We didn't get to see much of Kaneki..
Next episode could offer more excitement.


Assassination Classroom



Episode 2

Baseball attack was an epic fail.
Koro sensei was totally looking down on them.
Sugino got some seemingly harsh news about his baseball aspirations.
That Koro sensei sure is an unusual being.
He even got punished by the students LOL
That new character that's coming next time looks ominous.
I'm liking this anime more & more!


Death Parade



Episode 2

Wait, there is more than one arbiter?!
Guess that makes sense since there are a lot of dead people circling.
Decim seems to be our main man.
Looks like he got a new assistant.
This was happening at the same time as that couple was playing their game.
So this episode was more like an explanation of how things work.


Fairy Tail



Episode 41

Natsu vs Liberum Verus!
I like how Happy now becomes Natsu's wings.
It really looks like he has wings of his own, pretty cool.
Gray & Juvia sure make a nice team.
So far things aren't going that well for our guys.


Durarara!!x2



Episode 2

Watching Shizuo snap was every enjoyable.
Even if it was brief, it was still something I missed watching.
That chat room is always somewhat confusing... at least to me.
Celty was being even weirder than usual.
New transfer students & new possible friends at Mikado's school.
Shinra's dad is up to no good again..
Those twins look very interesting.
They are anything but ordinary.


One Piece



Episode 678

That was too easy. I just can believe Doflamingo is dead.
Kyros sure was pissed off.
Colosseum was in chaos due to sudden transformations.
"Lucy" made things interesting as well.
He got the fruit!! And ate it too!!
It was very amusing watching the Colosseum people freak out ^^
Usopp was now officially recognized as a hero & savoir.
Another great episode!!

Rolling☆Girls



Episode 1

This is another weird one.
Fight were pretty flashy too.
Background art was pretty nice.
It kinda always is in slice of life anime..
Still, not feeling it. Skipping.


One Piece



Episode 677

All the toys... they switched back into humans!
Was about time too.
They should use this and make a quick strike back.
Doflamingo got a nice chaos on his hands & his so deserved it.
That Usopp sure is one resilient guy.
Kyros was epic. Didn't give it a second thought.
Great episode!


World Trigger



Episode 13

Kuga being spied on by the main border branch.
Guess they still don't trust him..
Looks like they just want his black trigger for themselves.
Good thing Jin can see the future.
He intercepted them just in time.
So everyone is advancing in their training except Osamu..


Kuroko's Basketball 3



Episode 1

And so we continue where we left off last time..
Even magazines have started to notice our team.
That interview was just a way to do a recap.
A new dangerous character makes an appearance.
Looks like it's a blast from the past.
That guy should make things more interesting in the future.
Will be watching this like all the previous seasons ^^


Seiken Tsukai no World Break



Episode 1

Nice episode start.
There's nothing better then a fight to reel people in.
The past lives thing sounds interesting too.
Fan service is inevitable & harem might be possible.
Still, the story seems good enough to give it a few episodes before I decide.


Absolute Duo



Episode 2

That guy sure has an interesting partner & roommate.
I see a harem forming soon.. and booby fan service.
Guess this is not as action focused as it suggested in the 1st episode.
Gave this another try & now I clearly see it's not for me.
Dropping it.


Kamisama Hajimemashita



Episode 2

Tomoe feeling jealous of Mamoru LOL
Mizuki & Tomoe playing shogi to get to accompany Nanami.
Nanami got ambushed by some very resentful former gods.
Divine Assembly in Izumo.
Tomoe forced to stay home... ^^" and pretend to be Nanami at school..
She took Mizuki with her instead.
Of course she had to get into trouble right off the bat.
Wonder what she just got chosen for..


Yowamushi Pedal



Episode 14

Kinjou's knee is failing.
After Tadokoro fell behind this is so not good.
Self doubt and self loathing slowly kicked in..
Hakone guys truly are like machines.
No flaws and no injuries.
Sohoku rides more with their hearts.
Surviving the climb is gonna be one hell of a challenge.

Tokyo Ghoul 2



Episode 1

It's baaack!! and it has white hair now ^^
Touka got one hell of a beating from Ayato..
Those anti ghoul guys were in an interesting fight.
Touka got lucky Kaneki showed up to make things right.
Kaneki seems so calm now... calm and dangerous.
Great first episode!


Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata


Episode 0

Discussion about anime right off the bat, a nice surprise.
Lots of fan service for the guys too.
Only one male character... possible harem?
It does have it's amusing parts too.
Still.. skipping this.


Koufuku Graffiti



Episode 1

The art is really nice.
A bunch of girls again..
It looks nice with some innocent fan service.
Sure has been a while since a good cooking anime..
All in all, skipping it, not really interesting enough for me.


Death Parade



Episode 1

This one looks intriguing.
Has a lot of potential too.
First "customers" were in for an unpleasant surprise.
This slightly reminds me of Danganronpa.
It's certainly unusual enough to give it a try.


Assassination Classroom



Episode 1

What a welcome!
That is one hell of a teacher.
And that is one weird classroom.
The good thing is that they gave a pretty decent explanation.
Seems like the camouflaged some slice of life in there.
Has potential. Will give it a few more episodes before I decide.


Fairy Tail



Episode 40

Celestial spirit arc continues.
This arc seems have gotten less love than other FT arcs.
Not very popular among the viewers.
I wish it would just end soon so things would got back to normal.
At least Natsu showed off his power again.


Juuou Mujin no Fafnir



Episode 1

Fantasy yes, with abundance of fan service right of the bat.
This looks more like possible harem then just romance.
That and the fact there is only one guy & the rest are girls.
There is some action too, but I'm just not interested enough.
Skipping it.


Durarara!!x2



Episode 1

After so long it's finally baaack!!
Celty being chased... again ^^
Damn, how I missed this anime!
So life is same old-same old in Ikebukuro.
That Yuhei seems like an interesting guy.
Damn, this anime is never boring!
Totally watching it.
