Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 356

Do those snakes creep you out of what?
I wonder if Orochimaru was a half snake from the start or he experimented it into himself..
Either way snakes suit him well as his villain calling card.
The unavoidable childhood flashbacks are back.
Kinoe played a dangerous game with Danzo.
3rh Hokage played Danzo like a fiddle, nicely done!
I totally enjoyed watching that ^^


Kill la Kill

Episode 23

Mako's assessment and all those zeroes ROFL
She is worth so much more than a bunch of numbers.
Sword scissors, now that's the ultimate weapon.
Matoi & Satsuki on the same side is still priceless.
Their mommy is still more than quite a challenge though.
Satsuki's ex-minions finally fully joined the fight.
Nui seems to be very evasive when it comes to dying..
Just one more episode left!
Can't wait to see how it'll play out.


Magical Warfare

Episode 11

Isoshima was dealing with her own weird situation.
Takeshi trying his best to do something.
Gekkou is playing the typical villain.
Shame Oigami got his memories back.
I liked him better when he was one of the good guys.
Maybe there's still some hope left for him.
Just one episode left.
Think it's mostly predictable how things will end.
Still, can't wait to watch it.


Log Horizon

Episode 25 Final

Today we say goodbye to Log Horizon.
Shiroe was definitely my fav character.
He never ceased to amaze me with his skills.
A great strategist who I'll definitely miss.
Even the final episode wasn't problem-free.
There is always something going on to keep Shiroe busy.
Wish they explored the going home plot earlier in the story..
Good final episode.


Space Brothers

Episode 99 Final

It was difficult watching Mutta's frustration.
Hibito's situation was hitting him hard.
Nitta helped a bit, but Hibito's message was bitter-sweet.
Skipping ahead was definitely a good idea.
At least we got to see someone go to the moon ^^
Not the ending we were hoping for, but there is still much room to continue it.


Kuroko's Basketball 2

Episode 24

Damn, Yosen guys were really determined to win.
It was definitely a battle of skills and determination.
Seirin is behind on the score board.
Things aren't looking good for them..
Kagami was amazing this time, like epic amazing!
He surpassed Murasakibara and his previous self.
Just where did he find the strength for it all? Awesome!
Kagami was pretty much a one-man-team.
I'm totally impressed. Great episode!


One Piece

Episode 637

Luffy's cover got somewhat blown.
That Don Chinjao is the last thing he needed.
"Grandpa" sure made things complicated.
Meanwhile, interesting things were happening in the arena.
Is it just me or are there a lot of new characters?
Most of them are crazy strong and dangerous.
It's hard to figure out who's stronger: them or Luffy.
Guess I'll have to wait and see.


Noragami

Episode 12 Final

Rabo vs Yato.
The long awaited head-to-head fight.
Hiyori kinda stole that spotlight ^^"
As always she was just trying to help.
Rabo was too hung up on the past to see that things have changed.
Instead of forcing his desire on Yato, he should have changed himself.
So Yato had the power inside him after all. He just needed a push.
The fight was awesome ^^
Best part was Hiyori's comeback!
I liked all the blushing too, so sweet.
Wish this anime would get another season.

Witch Craft Works

Episode 11

Seeing Takamiya's mom & Kazane way-back-when was fun.
Now I get why she likes Kazane so much ^^
The whole hanging out with Mikage was weird.
Didn't quite get the point of it.
Guess it was a part of the healing process.
Ayaka was pretty busy with her own problems.
Things are quite chaotic at this point.
Wonder what they'll do in the final episode?
Should be good.


Magi 2

Episode 23

Finally, Aladdin shows his full power.
I must admit it's really impressive.
After pulling those aces from his sleeve, Kou empire should reconsider.
Guess the fight has been put on hold after all.
More serious problems have appeared.
Solving this one is not going to be easy at all.
The reunion was nice.
They are going to need all the help they can get.


Buddy Complex

Episode 11

Something strange was going on this time.
It's discouraging when the switch from that to flashback from the past.
The timing for that was not chosen wisely.
Well, on the bright side, the action is back!
Hina and Aoba seem to be getting closer as well.
With only 2 episodes left, I can't help to wonder..
What happened with the whole time travel thing?
I really do hope they answer that before it ends.


Yowamushi Pedal

Episode 23

It was strange to see Onoda's family.
His mom was quite weird.
So it has officially begun!
Onoda was feeling the pressure.
Not surprising since it's his first time.
He's lucky to have friends that support him ^^
You could really feel the intensity, awesome!
Sprinters were very impressive.
Can't wait to see the rest as well.
Great episode.


Hamatora

Episode 11

Nice was being awfully nice to Moral.
Things sure are getting strange.
Relationships between humans & minimum holders are getting worse.
I was surprised Moral would be so open to sharing.
Just what kind of a criminal mastermind is he?!
Guess a pretty weird one.
Well, at least most of the things got nicely explained.
Takahiro part was rather sad.
Didn't see that one coming at all.
Maye that'll be enough to get Nice moving..


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 121

Pouf, Pitou and Gon.
Now that's a dangerous bunch.
Starting confusion went away quickly.
Youpi's growth was impressive and clearly on more levels.
Didn't think he could pull any more surprises.
Guess I was wrong.
Seems like all the hunters that were in more serious battles came out hurt and unable to beat their mark.
Hmm... hope the same won't happen to others.
Really good episode.


Tokyo Ravens

Episode 23

Must admit I got lost along the way somewhere.
Seems like I was more focused on action and less on power struggle.
Well, at least the action is pretty fiery now.
Not that surprising since there is just 1 more episode left.
Things have heated up nicely.
Can't wait to see how it'll play out in the end.
Harutora & co were kinda late to the party.
At least they know how to make an entrance ^^
Good episode.


Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.

Episode 10 Final

Inari finally realized what's going on.
Having powers sure was fun, but not without consequences.
There was a lot of pressure on Uka.
I was impressed she would not falter in her decision.
It was amazing watching them open those gates.
Such willpower and group effort.
Returning the divine power was unavoidable, but still sad.
Such a bitter-sweet ending...
I'd love another season of this ^^

Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 355

Bigger Kakashi, nice.
It was about time they switched to adult version.
Still dealing with Orochimaru and his secret labs.
Well, it was a usual filler episode.
This one was not that special either.
Danzo managed to annoy me frequently, though.
Wish the filler arc would end already...


Magical Warfare

Episode 10

Takeshi was having a hard time dealing with Isoshima's kidnapping.
The next step should be getting her back.
Wonder what kind of a plan are they gonna think of?
Things sure are getting more complicated.
Looks like Takeshi is gonna try harder to control/learn magic.
The last few seconds were very intriguing!


Kill la Kill

Episode 22

Senketsu and Ryuko reunited!
That was a touching moment ^^
Fight with Nui was awesome.
It was about time someone kicked her ass.
Shame she bailed when things got interesting.
Nudist beach newest weapons were kinda ROFL, but it surprisingly worked.
It was a rare sight, Satsuki & Ryuko working together, damn!
How the tables have turned...
Great episode!


Log Horizon

Episode 23

Economics and politics have definitely prevailed.
Such a shame it wasn't well balanced with fights.
This could've been such a great anime.
The goblin thing improved the action part, but the tug-of-war with People of the Land is now simply annoying.
It puzzles me how this got a double season when so much better anime didn't.
Just one more episode left and still not much is happening.
I won't miss this when it's gone.


Space Brothers

Episode 98

Parts of Mutta's & Hibito's childhood.
Mutta was obviously concerned about Hibito.
Hibito was dealing with it in his own way.
The situation is not looking good.
Well, kinda uneventful episode.


Kuroko's Basketball 2

Episode 23

Only a few episodes left.
I wonder if we'll get to see the Winter Cup finals.
The way they are stretching the games now, it's not very likely.
I actually like the prolonged games, but at this rate it needs way more episodes.
As it nears its end I kinda want to watch it more.
Murasakibara sure was on fire this time.
Flashbacks to middle school days were interesting.
They definitely provided the info needed to better understand the current situation.
This was another intense episode.


One Piece

Episode 636

Bartolomeo looks like a unique character.
He wasn't very popular with the audience either.
Bellamy, Bartolomeo & King were the only real competition.
Well, at least for this round.
Everyone else was just cannon fodder.
So the fun has finally started, nice ^^
Can't wait to see Luffy fight.


Noragami

Episode 11

Seems like Rabo & Yato have a past.
Hiyori's sudden amnesia was weird.
It's a shame Yato isn't using his art to make money.
But I don't think that's the point of being a god..
Guess Nora had something to do with Hiyori's condition.
Things got pretty dark when Yato & Rabo confronted each other.
The info about their past was interesting.
Ending of this episode was pretty sad.
Hope things will get back on track in the final episode.

Magi 2

Episode 22

Holy magoi!
Alibaba and Aladdin sure have a challenge ahead.
Unlike Leam, Kou empire brought some serious players.
Mogamett seemed like a power high madman.
Titus showed his true colors as well.
I'm glad he chose not to be just a scared kid.
Mogamett's source of black magoi turned out to be a nasty surprise.
Dark times are ahead.


Noragami

Episode 10

It was nice to see Yukine be a good boy.
Guess he figured out a way to approximately have a normal life.
So Yato actually intends to find a way to fix Hiyori.
Well, it's about time he at least tried.
The shrine visit was fun ^^
Yet, somehow, Hiyori managed to get into trouble.
Nora cooked up a devious plan again.
She is definitely holding a grudge.
So Nora has a new master now; Rabo, god of calamity.
Things are looking pretty bad for Yato.


Nobunaga the Fool

Episode 9

So things turned out well after all.
This was sort of an aftermath episode.
Just saw this anime has 24 episodes.
No wonder the plot feels stretched.
It also feels like it's full of holes...
This could've been crammed into 12 episodes.
The story would've probably be much better.
Seriously thinking about dropping it.
Can't take the torture of 24 episodes of this.


Witch Craft Works

Episode 10

If this had more than 12 episodes I would have totally dropped it.
It's a shame this anime didn't use its full potential.
Could've been so much more interesting.
Takamiya was being a crybaby again ^^"
I just don't get that guy at all.
Lots of talking, but not much action.
These last few episodes should pack more punch.


Buddy Complex

Episode 10

Looks like they're finally taking some time off.
It's a good chance for Dio and Aoba to work on their relationship.
Guess we got some background stories this time.
It was a good episode.
Wasn't very impressed this time.


Yowamushi Pedal

Episode 22

Inter-High! Finally!!
Onoda was a nervous wreck LOL
Getting numbers and making final pre-race preparations.
This should be awesome!
Hakone's Manami is kinda like Onoda - a wild card.
Seems like everyone has someone to beat.
This should be very exciting.


Hamatora

Episode 10

Moral's plan seems to be unfolding nicely.
The truth about minimum holders has finally leaked.
New situation is causing panic, but that's to be expected.
Kinda feel sorry for the monser-looking ones.
I was surprised to see Nice turn down a case.
That isn't like him at all.
So now a group is even inciting riots.
Gotta hand it to Moral.
His plan is working perfectly so far.


Tokyo Ravens

Episode 22

Harutora hung up on bringing Natsume back.
It's hard to imagine him as the next heir.
The action part was fun ^^
I always enjoy a good fight!
Kon had a few good points this time.
Harutora should stop being so gullible and have faith in himself.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 120

Morel and Pouf were in a weird battle.
I'm glad Morel decided to support Knuckle.
He could use all the help right about now.
Switch to other chimera ants was pretty underwhelming.
That feels like a cold shower after all the interesting fights.
Really nice episode.


Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.

Episode 9

Uka in divine punishment.
Everyone sure was worried about her.
Inari and Tanbabashi should just confess to each other already.
Things got out of hand at the temple.
Guess it's not always smart to try and help everyone all the time.
Inari just keeps making trouble for Uka.
No matter the friendship, she's still just a teenage girl with feelings.
Touka is the only completely sane one.
He's the only one who sees how much strain sharing divine power has on Uka.

Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 353

So the story of the fog clan continues.
Seems like Kakashi is around a lot lately.
It's always nice to watch him fight!
Tenzo got himself a girlfriend ^^
It was nice to see them having a normal, fun day.

Episode 354

Continues the story.
Shows more about the test subjects.
Kinoe/Tenzo really connected with that girl.
The only thing that was blocking him was Kakashi's mission.
Orochimaru was just using them as a sick experiment.
No surprise there.
If you skipped this double episode, you didn't miss much.


Magical Warfare

Episode 9

Looks like Takeshi's prophetic dreams are coming true.
The war has definitely started.
Surprised Takeshi still worries about Gekkou.
That kid is such a two-faced guy.
Mui and her brother working together, nice.
So Gekkou finally decided to show his true colors.
This is a fight we've all been waiting for.
It didn't really go as expected...


Kill la Kill

Episode 21

The story took another interesting turn.
Intro was very unexpected.
Never thought they would put something like that into this kind of anime.
My, my, how the tables have turned.
Situation is more than ironic.
It was awesome to see Satsuki vs Matoi.
Glad Matoi snapped out of it so soon.
Cool episode!


Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi

Episode 13 / Special

Looks like this one was some fan service & some drama.
Taking a hot spring break.
I half expected something like this from a special.
Alis took the spotlight too with his perpetual drama.
It was nice to see Hampnie as well.
Guess it was a decent special.


Log Horizon

Episode 23

Festival time!
It was nice to see them relax.
Does every girl have a thing for Shiroe?
Well, everyone except the princess ^^
Looks like people of the land have opened up too.
Still, the freedom and no classes among the adventurers are confusing them.
Something definitely felt off...
People of the land were acting hostile and unreasonable.
Like someone was controlling them.
So, Shiroe's work is never done..


Space Brothers

Episode 97

So the brothers were having a family end of the year.
That was nice to see for a change.
Hibito was skeptical about going to the moon again.
His logic was sound, but I doubt they'll discard him so easily.
Mutta was doing another part of astronaut's work - mission control operative.
He is definitely moving up in the world.
On the other hand, the always-so-lucky Hibito is not so lucky anymore.


Kuroko's Basketball 2

Episode 22

This time we got to listen to more commenting than playing.
Commenting and thoughts... 2nd half was better.
I like it more when they show only actual game.
I'm glad Seirin learned how to adapt and play smart.
Kiyoshi was really impressive this time.
Kagami got ahead of himself like he was confused on how to play.
That's never happened before, weird.
Murasakibara was really pissed at Kiyoshi.
No surprise there, but they're gonna need more to win this.
Kiyoshi was starting to show serious signs of wear and tear.
That actually got me slightly worried.
Hopefully, this game will end next time.
And with Murasakibara pissed, things are bound to get even more interesting.

Current anime episodes comments - Nobunaga the Fool, Witch Craft Works, Buddy Complex, Yowamushi Pedal, Hamatora, Hunter x Hunter, Tokyo Ravens, Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.

Nobunaga the Fool

Episode 8

Nobunaga just can't seem to get a lucky break.
Caesar's interference sure made a mess of things.
The thing with Regalias is getting more complex.
Leonardo seems to have good understanding of them though.
It's useful for Nobunaga to have him on his side.
Interesting turn of events.
Can't wait to see more.



Witch Craft Works

Episode 9

Kagari teaching Takamiya magic again.
He is totally useless...
It's nice to see he has the willpower to learn though.
Seems like trouble is piling up slowly.
It's about time this got more intense.


Buddy Complex

Episode 9

Aoba bothered by Hina's attitude toward him.
Not surprising since the whole time travel thing is hard to believe.
Guess they're doing another coupling system demonstration.
They seem to be doing those demos often lately, first the move, now this.
Aoba vs Dio brawl was nice to watch.
Those two have some issues to tackle.
Looks like their every outing results in some kind of trouble with the enemy.


Yowamushi Pedal

Episode 21

Showing previous inter-high.
Looks like it was really challenging.
Summer heat was making things really hard.
Kinjou vs blondie was intense.
Lots of emotions in this episode.
The inter-high is gonna be really difficult.
At least Kinjou will get a do over now.
Good episode.


Hamatora

Episode 9

Morel is distancing nosy people from his case.
Smart move, since he's playing Art now.
Although, it could've been done with more tact.
Sudden change of behavior could become suspicious.
Looks like Nice is on a good trail.
Three had some problems this time.
Mostly an unfortunate turn of events.
Morel has something bad cooking.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 119

Killua vs Youpi!
I'm still surprised to see just how strong Killua is.
Sometimes he even overshadows the main character, Gon.
It was highly enjoyable watching him fight.
Our little octopus chimera had his own mission.
He and that shrimp were having a weird showdown.
Good episode.


Tokyo Ravens

Episode 21

Harutora's desperate attempts bore no fruit.
Things just escalated even more.
Sudden appearance of Suzuka's dad was well placed.
Evil always appears when you're the weakest just to exploit you under pretense of help.
Great episode!
Definitely one of the better ones.


Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.

Episode 8

Touka, Inari and Uka "enjoying" themselves.
Uka sure was having arranged date problems.
Inari was overdoing it by changing into Uka.
She was trying to help, but got herself into trouble instead.
Damn, Uka's mom is super scary!
Inari seriously needs to restrain herself from using divine power.
Uka & Touka totally had a moment there.
There is definitely something going on.
It's nice to see Inari can move even the hearts of gods.
Looks like things will get more intense.
