Current anime episodes cimments - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Date A Live, Space Brothers

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure


Episode 26 Final

They sure made an effort with the final episode.
Pretty much everything was explained.
It was all crammed into just one episode.
Honestly, it's a shame they didn't explain it over a few episodes.
Final fight was pretty good. Nice final episode.


Date A Live


Episode 1

Nice opening.
Those siblings were pretty fun to watch ^^
All the security measures reminded me of Evangelion anime.
It was actually pretty cool seeing something like that again.
This looks like fun so far.
I will give a few more episodes even if it does look like harem.


Space Brothers


Episode 52

More blast-from-the-past moments.
This was a summary of the story so far episode.
It was nice to remember how it all started.
I just hope they won't overdo it will fillers.
The plot has been a bit slow lately.

Current anime episodes comments - Hataraku Maou-sama, Karneval, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru

Hataraku Maou-sama!



Episode 1

The beginning looked very promising.
It's a shame they didn't continue with that theme.
We'll see if putting them into human world will be interesting.
Somehow, it still got me glued to the screen.
Maou really became his polar opposite... how pathetic ^^"
This is actually pretty good. Think I'll be watching it!


Karneval 


Episode 1

I like the characters in this anime.
Their design is really nice ^^
The story is pretty good too.
Lots of action, mystery and interesting plot twists.
Will be watching this one!


Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru



Episode 1

Lots of awkward moments.
The story isn't very impressive.
The animation is good, but the story lacks that something.
Looks like this one is just not my thing.
Will be skipping it.

Current anime episodes comments - Naruto Shippuuden, Red Data Girl, Uta no Prince-sama 2, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, Ginga Kikoutai: Majestic Prince, Devil Survivor 2 The Animation

Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 307

Well, this episode was more in a flashback than in reality.
It did explain a few things though, about Kabuto and his plans.
Also, it was a nice change of setting.
Things still need to speed up if they want to keep the fans.


Red Data Girl



Episode 1

Well, at first it was pretty boring and I wanted to drop it.
After that it kinda got a bit more interesting.
That girl totally isn't in control of her powers.
Izumiko - Miyuki situation looked kinda promising.
Maybe I'll give this anime a chance and a few more episodes.


Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 2000%



Episode 1

Haruka is still as hopeless as ever...
I see some things never change ^^"
It's nice seeing my fav characters in an anime again.
Natsuki is an airhead, just like Haruka.
Seems like the rest of them are pretty much the same as well.
Ichinose still has a stick up his ass. That guy needs to loosen up a bit.
I like the new characters, the 4-boys group.
They look like serious pains, but I guess it's 'cause they're pros.
It was a nice first episode ^^ I will be watching this one!


Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge


Episode 1

This is a weird one.
The characters are nice, but the story is just unusual.
Kiri's hair fetish is slightly disturbing.
Not so sure I'll be watching this one.


Ginga Kikoutai: Majestic Prince


Episode 1

The first few minutes were all battle like.
After that the characters took over.
The animation is not very good, that's pretty much obvious.
On the other hand, I kinda liked their general behavior which was lol
Basically, they're either funny or mad about something.
The plot is shooter oriented which doesn't leave much room for anything else.
I won't be watching this one.


Devil Survivor 2 The Animation



Episode 1

I'm not too thrilled with animation.
I mean that character design could have been better.
The story is really interesting so far.
Just the kind of story that I like ^^
Will be watching this one!

Japan Shopping - Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 1000% & Kuroko's Basketball collectibles



I'm a little late with this review, but better late then never. So I got come new and cute collectibles from Uta no Prince-sama Maji Love 1000% and Kuroko's Basketball. This was the first time for me to get a whole box of figure straps, but they were so damn cute that I just couldn't resist. It's wasn't the first time I got a plush, but it was the first time I got it from Kuroko's Basketball anime. Also, it's the first time I got an arm pillow which is the actual purpose of this plush doll.




Let's start with Uta no Prince. I got a whole box of the Color collection Vol. 2 figure straps. When you open the bigger box, you see a whole bunch (8 in total) of smaller boxes inside. There is no way of knowing which figure strap you're going to get until you open the box. It's actually kinda cool because you won't know what you get until you look inside. I got 6 different characters and 2 doubles. They are really cute and the perfect size to use as a key chain for a bag, keys or pretty much anything else. 



Next is Kuroko's Basketball arm pillow plush Kagami Taiga. So basically I got this because it looked kinda cute and practical at the same time. When it arrived I was surprised by the level of detail considering the price. The head of the plush is pretty much the same as you would expect to see on a normal size, regular plush doll. The eyes, mouth and eyebrows are sowed on and not a sticker. The hair is also really well done. The rest of the body is covered with Taiga's jersey with his number, but that part (the jersey) is like a giant clothes-sticker like material. That's the biggest difference from the regular plush, well, that and the position of its body which is lying down and not sitting like you can see normal plush dolls.
All in all, this was really good buy and I'm happy that I got this items for my collection ^-^


Current anime episodes comments - Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun, Magi, Bakuman 3

Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun



Episode 13 Final

I got my hopes up when grown up Shino arrived, but he's just a kid again :(
Still don't get why that happened anyway.
It would have been so much better if he stayed in his new form.
Sousuke's shadow is an interesting guy with some bad intentions.
Looks like Shino has a thing for Sousuke, the real one, I mean.
Those church people were really annoying this time.
This final episode didn't seem very final at all.


Magi



Episode 25 Final

It's never easy fighting a friend.
Especially when that friend was on your side a minute ago.
How the situation had changed.
Hakuryuu got another fighting chance ^^ that was nice.
Alibaba's self-loathing is what got him in trouble in the first place.
His insecurities let the darkness in little by little. He's nothing without Aladdin.
Sinbad was really impressive this time. His powers surprised me.


Bakuman 3



Episode 25 Final

After 3 seasons the end is finally here.
It was a really good anime with a fair amount of drama and excitement.
Flashbacks were a nice reminder of how it was in the beginning.
Three seasons we were waiting for their dreams to come true.
Now that it has finally happened, it's kinda surreal because I can't imagine it's over.
It was nice they let us see some part of the their Reversi anime.
Watching Azuki and Mashiro being awkward together was so sweet.
Nice final episode!

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

One Piece



Episode 589

That body switch thing is really amusing.
It's also interesting to watch how they're coping with it.
The new characters also look promising.
New info about the island was interesting.
Caesar Clown seems to be the main bad guy here.
He's totally crazy too.


Space Brothers



Episode 51

Mutta - Nitta heart to heart was kinda nice.
It helped Nitta feel a little less crappy.
Flashbacks were pretty good too.
They may all be full of understanding, but their team is not doing so well.


Hunter x Hunter 


Episode 73

Lots of strategies.
It's getting harder to predict everyone's moves.
Genthru was being a pain again.
Gon vs Genthru. I was surprised he was that weak even after all that training.
Bisky was a pleasant surprise. Never saw that one coming.
Killua was doing rather well in his fight, but that's kinda expected.
