Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Space Brothers, Hunter x Hunter

One Piece



Episode 584

Marines pushing their way into the island.
Luffy's crew dealing with Brownbeard and other centaurs.
Nami's crew rescuing the kids.
Brook dealing with pieces of the samurai.
Smoker's crew met Trafalgar Law, that made them scared.
This sure is one crazy island in every way.


Space Brothers



Episode 44

Brian-03 saved him in his last moments.
Azuma and JAXA were on the same page about their predictions.
The flashbacks were good.
It was nice watching Mutta feeling relieved.
Reunion with other astronauts was touching.
Short flashback from Brian's childhood was nice.


Hunter x Hunter


Episode 66

Killua bouncing around.
He passed hunter's exam without a sweat.
It was just too easy for him.
Now that he's back on Greed Island new adventures will follow.
Using Chrollo's name in the game made tensions rise.
I still don't quite get how those spells work since it's not a game, but reality.

Current anime episodes comments - Fairy Tail, Shinsekai Yori, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru

Fairy Tail



Episode 168

Fairy Tail finally got its spotlight.
Milliana vs Semas! That was a pretty fun fight.
Rufus Lohr vs Eve Tilm!
Honestly I didn't think Eve stood a chance right from the start and I was right.
Laxus vs Alexei! That was very interesting to watch.
The illusion battle was pretty one sided, but really was much worse.
Can't wait to see what'll happen next time.


Shinsekai Yori


Episode 19

Queerats vs humans.
Yakomaru must be behind some of it.
He was suspicious right from the start.
Well, their rebellion is not a surprise.
It was bound to happen sometime.
That demon was kinda surprising though.
Especially since they always killed all potential demons.


Jojo's Bizarre Adventure


Episode 18

ACDC leech on Jojo's back was just disturbing.
Looks like it was transferable.
Poor Suzie Q became an ACDC puppet.
So the stone was sent to St. Moritz.
Interesting how the Germans found it before our heroes.


Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru



Episode 6

And here comes Hime, the ex girlfriend.
Those two girls were surprised, to put it mildly.
Eita's past life just keeps emerging.
Masuzu was not happy about Hime, neither was Chiwa.
It was another surprise that Masuzu gave up so easily when it came to dropping everything and going back home.
Eita's diary sure got a lot of unwanted attention this time.
And so Himeka joined their little club/harem.

Current anime episodes comments - Psycho-Pass, Robotics;Notes, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?

Psycho-Pass



Episode 16

Nona Tower infiltration.
Makishima and his accomplices were up to no good.
Well, that's to be expected.
This time, Makishima really went big.
Kougami vs Makishima! Good for him that Akane showed up.
Poor Kagari, that just sucked, but now I'm dying to know what Sybil system really is and why their boss is a robot.


Robotics;Notes



Episode 16

GunPro-2 is finally ready for testing. About time too.
Yashio as the pilot was a success.
Looks like those weird Monopoles came in handy.
So far it was better than the previous version.
It even looked cool through their Poke Com.
Kai looking for Kimijima Report No. 7, but they're on to him.
That's not good in any way, he's getting too close to the truth.
Mizuka payed the price for that...


Maoyuu Maou Yuusha


Episode 6

Hero's scare tactics were pretty LOL but effective.
The whole Dead Knight thing was ingenious.
Somehow there's too much discussing and less battles.
The front lines are where the action is.
So far this anime has been just mediocre.


Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?


Episode 5

A Laius gift game hunt.
Izayoi the invisible was pretty cool.
Algol was rather scary, but made things more intense.
Izayoi can be somewhat scary as well.
The whole episode was interesting.

Current anime episodes comments - Naruto Shippuuden, Gintama, Bakuman 3, Kotoura-san, Zetsuen no Tempest

Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 299

Naruto vs Nagato!
That was a really nice fight.
Those two were lucky Itachi helped them out.
Honestly, I was surprised he would help at all.
He did give Naruto some solid advice.


Gintama



Episode 261

So the shogun thing came to an end.
I'm glad the new shogun saw the light.
Old shogun got exactly what he deserved.
I felt sorry for Suzuran though...
The reunion was nice, but the wait was just too long.
Well, better now then never.


Bakuman 3



Episode 18

Ashirogi's Revesi battle manga vs Niizuma's Zombie Gun.
Those two/three always have to compete.
Yet, they never manged to beat Niizuma...
Maybe it's time for that to change.
Finally, a manga that surpassed Niizuma.
Looks like things will become really interesting!
Awesome episode!!!!


Kotoura-san



Episode 5

Kotoura moved back.
Looks like she really likes Manabe after all.
Even Moritani joined their little club.
She only joined to be close to Manabe.
The sleepover was kinda nice.
School festival was fun to watch.


Zetsuen no Tempest



Episode 17

Hakaze is really in love with Yoshino, a lot!
Flashbacks to his days with Aika were nice.
I think he should let go of her and move on already.
Seems like Yoshino may be a mage of Exodus as well.
I was surprised Hakaze confessed so suddenly.
Interesting episode, more on the romance side.

Current anime episodes comments - Hakkenden Touhou Hakken Ibun, Magi, Amnesia

Hakkenden Touhou Hakken Ibun



Episode 5

Shino really is a special kid in every way.
His stubbornness can sometimes even be funny.
At least this time we got some new info about other guys too.
Shino meets sweet Ayane and dangerous Chikage.
So Hamaji got herself a friend to play with.
The lantern festival was really nice.
Looks like Shino found an unexpected friend in Hibiki/Chikage.


Magi 



Episode 17

Looks like Aladdin came back with a few tricks up his sleeve.
Alibaba is lucky to have him as a friend.
Although he's young and inexperienced, his advice is solid.
Kassim sure had an enormous amount of hate in him.
Reunion with the dead Aladdin made happen was nice.


Amnesia



Episode 5

Ikki and heroine at the movies. That guy is totally suspicious.
Orion is back, that's good, but looks like not permanently.
She is just way too passive. It's starting to be annoying.
Ikki is being pushy, but he's also playing her.
Looks like she's fair game since her boyfriend backed off.

Anime Magazines - Animedia Deluxe Vol. 4

My copy of Animedia Deluxe Vol. 4 finally arrived today. It's just awesome! The surprising part is that it was published more than once a year. Up till now it came out only once a year, but this time for some unknown reason it came out in the summer and in December too. It was a nice surprise though. Personally, I think it's awesome because I love the Deluxe edition. 
I was thinking about getting Otomedia, but I never did. I'm curious about its content, but every time I was looking at it, it didn't have the stuff that appealed to me. I'll probably get it one day when it'll have something interesting.
Now lets get back to Deluxe Vol. 4. In addition to an amazing amount of posters from the most popular anime like Sword Art Online, Hyouka, Magi, Ao no Exorcist, Code Geass, Inu x Boku SS.... I also go an awesome B2 size double sided poster featuring Kirito from SAO and ALO on one side and Alibaba from Magi on the other. All in all, a must buy for me!
