Looks like another addition to the special school.
Yusarin & a multiple personality disorder..
She sure is one scary girl!
Interesting episode.


God Eater

Visually very attractive.
Lenka getting a hang of things.
Good amount of action, but not much plot..
The first casualty has fallen.

Misaki can be pretty naive when communicating with others.
Best part, as always, is Usami & Misaki lovin' time <3


Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 420

And we're back to the present!
Guy's attack was a bit too much for his body.
He actually managed to get Madara worried.
Nice teamwork!

Debt paid, but...
Looks like Hotaru liked survival games a bit too much!

Yukimura was fun to watch.
Watching Hotaru choose a new gun was nice.


One Piece




Episode 702

Doflamingo's childhood story.

Overlord



Episode 2

Momonga assessing the situation.
Those floor guardians sure like him beyond reason.

Kyoukai no Rinne



Episode 15

Rokudou trying to clear up the misunderstanding with Sakura..
Ageha is head-over-heels for Rokudou.

Catching Sakura alone was an impossible mission.
The "sausage fairy" sure made me hungry! ROFL
Well, some love realizations were made.


Junjou Romantica 3



Episode 2

Got a new laptop with FHD IPS display.
Watching anime is a whole different experience now.
Everything is so much better! The Colors are better, image sharper & more vivid.
It's very enjoyable watching Usami & Misaki ^^
Poor Misaki got himself a rival..
His stressing just got him into trouble.
The beach part was definitely my favorite part <3


Gintama



Episode 280 

Asaemon tells her sad story.
First half of the episode was pretty serious for a change..
2nd half was up to its old tricks.
Hijikata was ROFL
Looks like Yaemon double crossed them all..
Really good episode!


Gangsta

Luckily everything nicely fell into place.


Makura no Danshi



Episode 1

An anime short.
Only 4 minutes of hot/cute guy O.O
Was kinda one sided, but I guess that's the point.
Directly talking to the viewers.. interesting concept.


Gakkou Gurashi!



Episode 2

Dealing with reality.
Zombies covered in black fog or blurry.. such a shame.
It would have been better if we could see their faces clearly.
The jump from cheerful to deadly serious is startling..
Test of Courage trip was fruitful & challenging at the same time.
Still, the pot is mostly based on the past & keeping it away from the present.
Not bad, but dropping it anyway..

Current anime episodes comments - Ranpo Kitan, Gakkou Gurashi!, Prison School, Fairy Tail, Gangsta., Classroom Crisis, GATE, Ushio to Tora

Ranpo Kitan



Episode 2

Art is nice.
Can be a bit flashy sometimes..
Somehow I expected more from this anime.
The story is fine, but it's missing that something to hook me.
Dropping it.


Gakkou Gurashi!



Episode 1

All girls..
Takeya sure is an unusual girl.
All of them are unusual..
This anime kinda sucks you in even when nothing special is happening.
Things got intriguing near the end.
Will give it one more episode before I decide.

Of course it's censored.
Boys will be boys..
Bath time was epic! ROFL

Not my thing.
Skipping it.

That bloodbath was totally unnecessary.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Was about time for some in-depth recon.
Good episode.

Ushio really can't get any peace anymore.
I really like watching those two bicker all the time ^^
