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..

Diabolik Lovers



Episode 4

This anime is weird and occasionally morbid too.
Those vampire brothers are completely different from one another.
Their characters are so different that it's kinda scary.
None of them seem to be "normal" in any way.
Yui is way too passive. I'm surprised she didn't try to run away sooner.


Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova



Episode 1

This one looks different.
Naval warfare anime, should be interesting.
Usually, I'd go for this kind of thing.
But I think I'm gonna skip this one.
I'm just not feeling it...


Yowamushi Pedal



Episode 1

That kid is a total clutz.
Yet somehow this anime got my attention.
I had a few laughs too.
This looks like an OK anime.
Otaku & sports! What a wild combination!
I'll give it a few episodes.


Machine-Doll wa Kizutsukanai


Episode 1

At first I thought this could be good, but automatons are not my thing.
So far it basically a future harem with some battles.
Just doesn't interest me which is weird since I like the unusual setting.
This is not for me, skipping it.


Hunter x Hunter


Episode 99

Gon having bird problems LOL
It was nice watching him fight alone for a change.
Those guys gave him a few problems too.
Hunters are still struggling with chimera ants problem..
Guess they could use a hand from Phantom Troupe ^^"
At least those guys knew how to deal with ants quickly.


BlazBlue - Alter Memory



Episode 1

Was expecting more out of this anime.
The main character is nice looking ^^ and I like him.
Don't know if it'll be enough to keep me watching this.
I like this kind of anime, a future based fantasy.
So far, I'm not impressed at all.
Felt kinda lost while watching it, like I was thrown in the middle of it all.
Will give it a try... and then decide.


Tokyo Ravens



Episode 1

Don't know what to think about this one.
It's kinda slow so far.
The characters look pretty nice though.
That girl really knows how to get what she wants.
Think I'm gonna give this a few more episodes before I decide.
It does have some potential.


Kyoukai no Kanata



Episode 2

Beginning of this episode was pretty intense.
It sure was a pretty cool fight.
Looks like she has some bad memories for the past.
At least she found a good friend.
Things should get more interesting soon enough.


Coppelion



Episode 2

I can't quite decide what's weirder; the girls or the hazmat guys that keep popping up out of nowhere.
For a city that's ravaged by radiation those girls have their hands full with helping others.
Yet strangely, this is still interesting to watch.
Maybe it's the unusual story or the seriousness of it all.


Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 334

Uchiha brothers vs Kabuto.
Now that was interesting to watch.
Looks like Kabuto became as slippery as a real snake.
It's surprising he could surpass even Orochimaru.
On the other battlefield the Madara fight is still far from over.


Kyousougiga


Episode 1

Ok, this is weird.
On the other hand it does kinda make sense too.
The priest created a world where he wouldn't be judged.
I bet a lot of people wished they had the same power.
But it looks like even make belief worlds have their problems..
This looks ok, but I'm just not feeling it so I'm gonna drop it.


Kill la Kill



Episode 2

That dark sailor uniform is very interesting.
The world/city in which they live if very cruel.
I'm surprised she can go to school like nothing happened.
That girl sure knows how to find trouble quickly.
Homeroom teacher's additional role seems unexpected, but intriguing.
This anime is so fired up at times that it just leaves me speechless.

Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Space Brothers, Kuroko's Basketball, Log Horizon, Magi 2, Meganebu!, Gingitsune

One Piece



Episode 615

Caesar is a merciless bastard, that's for sure.
Yet somehow he always manages to get others to believe him.
It was about time Luffy showed up where the action was.
So finally some new info about Caesar's illegal business.


Space Brothers



Episode 76

Interesting episode for a change.
The change of setting was nice.
Wish Hibito would get over his fear soon...
Olga sure had a crush on Hibito and it was LOL


Kuroko's Basketball 2


Episode 1

New season with new challenges ahead.
Will be watching this one!
This season looks promising so far.
New characters and opponents look good.
Guess this season the plot will be more Kagami centered.


Log Horizon



Episode 1

At first glance, everyone will be comparing this to SAO.
That's just a fact.
On the other hand it is similar, but also different at the same time.
As long as they keep the story in the game only, it should be better.
Character animation was a bit nicer in SAO, but backgrounds are really nice here.
Looks like this is gonna be fun to watch ^^
So far I like it since it has a nice balance of fun and serious action.
Will be watching it!


Magi 2


Episode 1

So season 2 is out.
Wonder what kind of adventures we'll get to see this time.
Seems like Aladdin's powers will be more serious this season.
Feels like they skipped the action again and we're in the intermission with the plot.
They should have used the war from the beginning of the episode as the main story.
Will be watching it just to see if this season will be better.


Meganebu!



Episode 1

So colorful.....
The megane guys are cute, but the backgrounds are hurting my eyes.
Why did they make the colors so bright?!
Kinda reminds me of Persona 4 with the glasses and bright colors.
The plot is, well, not eventful...
I'm gonna skip this.


Gingitsune



Episode 1

Relaxed anime.
Kinda does reminds of Inuyasha.
This anime is kinda sweet.
Not what I usually like to watch, but I think I'll give it a try.

Current anime episodes comments - Kyoukai no Kanata, Coppelion, Naruto Shippuuden, Golden Time, Nagi no Asukara, Yuushibu, Pokemon Origins, Strike the Blood, Outbreak Company, Kill la Kill

Kyoukai no Kanata


Episode 1

So this is a regular school story with some supernatural thrown in.
I was kinda expecting more supernatural and less school life.
So far it's working out fine.
That Mirai sure is a clumsy girl despite her power.
Gonna give this a few more episodes before I decide..


Coppelion



Episode 1

Just seen half of the episode and don't know what to say.
It's weird, that's a fact.
Despite doing what they do, they still seem to enjoy themselves.
Don't know what to think about this anime yet.
Might give it a few more episodes.


Naruto Shippuuden



Episode 333

Tsunade vs Madara.
Somehow it gave a personal feel.
They did have some nice team work too.
Tsunade was pretty impressive this time.
Who knew she has some aces up her sleeve.


Golden Time



Episode 1

Well, this anime sure seems different.
Mitsuo definitely has some serious girl problems.
Koko looks like an interesting character ^^"
I truly feel sorry for Mitsuo... T-T
I might give this a few more episodes.
So far it looks relaxing and fun.


Nagi no Asukara


Episode 1

Regular school story with an added twist.
I like the sea world setting ^^
The animation is really nice.
It's a bit too childish for me though.
Think I'm gonna skip this one.


Yuushibu


Episode 1

At first glance this sounded good.
Then I saw all the bO.Obs and decided to drop this.
Looks like this is gonna be more about fan service then anything else.
Clumsy awkward girls and lots of fan service...
Dropping it.


Pokemon Origins


Episode 1

I just couldn't resist ^///^
Never watched Pokemon in original Japanese language.
I was still a little kid when it started airing and it was already translated.
Guess I'm a bit too old for this now... gonna leave it to younger generations.


Strike the Blood


Episode 1

This one looks promising.
As long as they don't mess it up with too much fun service.
So far it's interesting enough.
Wonder how their weird relationship will develop further.
I'll be watching this one.


Outbreak Company



Episode 1

At first glance I was about to drop it.
Halfway through it started to look more promising.
If I put all the fan service aside, it's still good.
Think I'm gonna watch it just to see how weird it'll get.


Kill la Kill



Episode 1

Wtf is wrong with this anime?
The amount of violence is just messed up.
I predict that this will have a whole bunch of episodes.
Kinda reminds me of Needless in a way.
Don't know whether to watch it or not.
Guess this is love it or drop kind of anime.
I'm gonna give it a try.
