Current anime episodes comments - One Piece, Space Brothers, Hunter x Hunter, Bakuman 3, Hiiro no Kakera 2, Magi, Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse

One Piece


Episode 577

First the Navy and those other guys and now even crazy weather.
The New World truly is full of weird things.
That Lily really is similar to Luffy when it comes to food ^^
Nice episode.


Space Brothers


 Episode 37

Mutta's lucky morning was draining his luck..
Mizoguchi got the important call this time.
All his life he was the best and now he failed.
It was a lot to take in at once.
At least Hibito was enjoying himself on the moon.
Finally Mutta got his great news in person! ^^


Hunter x Hunter 


Episode 59

Greed Island auction!
The new info about the game was interesting.
The auction itself was pretty intense.
Gon and Killua mad about their current Nen level.
At least they had great motivation for improving themselves.
Very interesting episode.


Bakuman 3


Episode 10

Nanamine's editor wasn't too happy about his serialization.
It was kinda sad Shiratori's manga got cancelled.
Hattori was smart enough to suspect something was off about Kosugi.
When Mashiro and Takagi told him the truth about Nanamine's wayhis reaction was expected.
That guy was walking all over their principles and ideals. He went too far.
Hiramaru was totally down after Aoki got serialized.. but was resurrected as her assistant.


Hiiro no Kakera 2



Episode 12

Baba-sama dead. Things got easier and more complicated at the same time.
Tamaki really stepped up to her princess role.
The guys finally and truly became her guardians.
Eins turned into a true monster..
The guardians true unsealed forms were half monstrous as well.
At least they were fighting to save the world.
Then Logos stepped in and brought more bang to the fighting.
Awesome episode!


Magi



Episode 11

Ugo kinda snapped..
That Judal just pushed him over the edge.
Just as the got rid of him, came the Princess of Kou.
The whole thing started again, but was over rather quick.
After that everyone was beating themselves up on some level..
Kou empire really did a number on Balbadd's economy without them even realizing it at first.
The prince totally lost it. Selling his own people to slavery, that's just insane.


Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse



Episode 24

Lots of action this time as well.
Things got pretty intense.
Felt like they crammed all the action of the season into one episode.
Well, at least everyone was working together nicely.
Inia & Cryska ending was very interesting.

Current anime episodes comments - Fairy Tail, Shinsekai Yori, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Sword Art Online, Sukitte Ii Na Yo

Fairy Tail



Episode 161

So far Fairy Tail is a disgrace.
At least they don't lack the fighting spirit.
The part at the tavern was lively.
Natsu & chariot, that was just pathetic.
I was surprised it affected Gajeel as well.
Well, at least their efforts got them the affection of the audience.


Shinsekai Yori



Episode 12

So they knew everything about what happened right from the start.
The story about Karma demons was interesting.
This episode came with lots of new info as well.
Mamoru's disappearance doesn't look good.
He's probably gonna end up like Shun..


Jojo's Bizzare Adventure


Episode 11

Joseph vs Straits!
Seems like Joseph learned something from Jojo's mistakes.
It's not gonna be easy using ripples on Straits.
Luckily he's combining it with modern technology.
Not that it did him much good.
Straits practically killed himself.
The Pillar man, Speedwagon being alive and the germans with evil plan.
Things are getting very interesting.


Sword Art Online 



Episode 24

Yui and Kirito finally inside!
They managed to find Asuna too.
That was a really nice reunion ^^
Well, it didn't take long for the bad guy to appear.
He sure is a crazy one...
Sugou vs Kirito was short, pathetic,but very satisfying.
Asuna finally free.. about time too.


Sukitte Ii Na Yo



Episode 11

Mei and Yamato were totally sweet together.
Looks like Kai read Megumi pretty well.
Megumi was losing to Mei in every way and just couldn't understand why exactly.
Guess her make believe life is crumbling around her pretty fast.
Yamato-Mei date in the amusement park was fun to watch.
Nagi kinda ruined the alone date part, but it was still nice.

Current anime episodes comments - Robotics; Notes, BTOOOM!, Medaka Box Abnormal

Robotics; Notes



Episode 10

GunPro-1 needs a lot of work..
Aki's curiosity was totally LOL
That monopole thing could be the solution they need.
It's good they discussed a new version.
Hope they have more luck with it.


BTOOOM!



Episode 11

So Date finally showed his true intentions.
He was the one who betrayed Murasaki as well.
It's lucky Himiko is friends with Murasaki.
They never would have made it without her help.
Well, all is well that ends well ^^


Medaka Box Abnormal



Episode 10

Medaka not so much Medaka anymore.
Her powers now are even more incredible then before.
Hitoyoshi vs Medaka.
That was a desperate fight for the real Medaka.
The part about Medaka's past was interesting.
Unusual, but fun episode.

Current anime episodes comments - Naruto Shippuuden, Psycho-Pass, Zetsuen no Tempest, K

Naruto Shippuuden 



Episode 293

Naruto & crew vs Kyuubi chakra.
Well... that was messy and kinda scary.
Kabuto getting Naruto was bad.
Not a bad episode but kinda ended halfway.


Psycho-Pass



Episode 10

Those two investigating a case on their own was not a good idea.
Kogami is hellbent on finding his partner's killer..
Seems like they're targeting Akane's friends.
The hunt in the sewers, those two psycho's really are sick.
That girl was lucky Kogami was with her.
It sure was interesting watching this episode.


Zetsuen no Tempest


Episode 11

So they need an equivalent exchange to get Hakaze back.
It sounds simple enough, but it's so totally not.
Looks like Samon had a back up plan if he ever needed Hakaze.
OMG Mahiro's sister was the back up plan by the Tree of Genesis.
It's scary how things work in weird ways in their world.
Mahiro is just selfish. He sees no other goal but his revenge even when there are some many other things at stake.


K


Episode 11

So Red king is at his limit..
Red vs blue at the school, not good at all.
It seems like "Shiro" chose to forget all the bad and live a normal life.
Looks like he wasn't destined to have peace for long.
The Silver King awakens...

Anime Movies - Prince of Tennis - Eikokushiki Teikyuujou Kessen!



Prince of Tennis movie. Location: UK, Wimbledon.
Watching the Japanese representatives have fun playing practice matches was nice. It was all good until the appearance of the mysterious tennis players. Well, it was more of an attack than an appearance. Seems like the competition made their move to separate the best ones from the rest. Even Echizen had problems with returning those "real" balls. There always seems to be those who think they are above all others by using every dirty trick there is. I never knew tennis could be this dangerous LOL
At this point the movie took a detective turn with the goal of finding those responsible. The mysterious player offering his help showed exactly when needed. Isn't it nice how something like that always tends to happen is movies.. There is always a traitor / one who won't follow the rules of deceit to guide the hero towards the path of victory while secretly seeking his own revenge.
One thing is true, this movie is all about tennis practically all the time. The only absurd thing is that they played tennis everywhere except at Wimbledon. All in all it was an interesting movie and it's worth watching if for nothing else than for the final showdown between Echizen and Keith.


Genre: tournament, action, comedy, school
Theme: tennis

Plot:
Seigaku and a familiar selection of Japan's other top junior tennis teams gather in Wimbledon, London, for a tennis tournament. During tennis practice, the Japanese players are suddenly attacked by a violent "street tennis" group that calls themselves "Clack". An encounter with a former Clack member named Siu leads Ryoma and his friends into a battle with Clack to confront its leader, Keith, and discover his reasons for having such a violent approach to tennis.

Director: Shunsuke Tada
Screenplay: Mitsutaka Hirota
Music: Cheru Watanabe
Distributor: Shochiku Film 
Duration: 87 minutes
Country: Japan
Language: Japanese

Jormungand: Perfect Order


Episode 10

Some serious action this time.
It was about time for it too.
Koko really had a great plan.
She thought it through really well.
Bath time looked nice.
That Jonah sure has some privileges.
OMG has she finally gotten off the rails?
Anyway, it's going to be really interesting seeing that plan work.
Jonah's reaction to that was pretty normal.
Everyone else being silent was kinda off.


Code: Breaker


Episode 10

It was nice seeing some new info mainly about Hitomi.
Actually, it explained a whole lot about his current way of thinking.
So much killing, so much death...
Seeing all that, it no wonder Heike joined his side.
Hitomi was like everyone's big brother, it was nice ^^
Guess he just wants to save them all from doing what they do.


Kamisama Hajimemashita



Episode 11

Mizuki really is lost in the real world.
Guess reality of the new era was much more to handle that he thought.
From one trouble to another LOL
Mizuki wanting to be like Kurama was just ridiculous.
I'm glad he realized he's better off at the shrine.
Nanami & Tomoe second part was fun.
The amusement park date thing was interesting.
Wow, Tomoe actually had fun ^^
On the other hand Nanami's jealousy got out of hand.
