Gokukoku no Brynhildr

Episode 6

Kuroha got pretty fired up.
Good thing Murakami kinda stopped her.
Facing that scary girl ended up rather well.
Damn, looks like Kotori's nobleness was the real deal.
I'm glad she decided to stay alive.
The fan service part near the end wasn't that necessary..
It was nice to see them all together.
That scientist is very suspicious looking.
I don't like him or trust him one bit.
He looks like the kind of character that could complicate things.


Yowamushi Pedal

Episode 31

Midousuji sudden attack was a surprise.
Damn, that guy is so unlikeable.
Imaizumi was useless once again..
This sure was an intense battle!
All three was giving it their all.
First day sure was hard and exhausting.
Sohoku is one step closer to their dream.
Great episode!


Black Bullet

Episode 6

That blonde kid is definitely taking too many of those pills.
It feels like she' sleepwalking through the day.
Well, they made her daytime character rather well.
Rentaro vs Tina!
The realization on their faces was priceless.
So those two are on opposite sides after all...
Now he's even collecting enemy lolis LOL
Interesting episode.


Break Blade

Episode 6

Zess got himself in bad situation.
Most bad ass character is definitely Baldr.
He is one totally cool guy with a really cool head.
Things are getting interesting.
Cleo sure looks like an adult for a 12 year old girl.
Never would have guessed..
ROFL, even that owl is smarter than Rygart.
He's just a kind hearted sap.
Nice episode.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 129

More Meruem, Pouf & Youpi weirdness.
They all seem to have changed on a deeper level.
Things are getting really interesting again.
Pouf is set on offing Komugi.
But he has mad Killua to deal with now ^^
Shame that ended before it even began.
Not much action this time.
Hopefully, we'll see Gon vs Pitou next time.


Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 362

Finally, back to the main story.
Straight to Naruto vs Madara fight!
Damn, they just had to put in flashbacks.
It's like the fillers didn't end..
Got my hopes up for little bit of new plot.
So Obito never got over Kakashi killing Rin..
He really should learn how to let go.
Second part of the episode was much better.
Kurama pulled an interesting stunt ^^
The fight parts were epic and I really missed them!
Hope there will be a lot more of them.


Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin

Episode 6

So, finally, the onsen part.
They sure were enjoying themselves.
Tensai always has such a keen eye for details.
She tends to find mysteries everywhere.
Yuiga is such a pain...
He always pulls a fast one on Juugo & team.
Why, oh why do  they still tolerate that guy?
Traps in their new adventure were interesting.
There was some weirdish fanservice this time as well ^^"

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin

Episode 5

It was slightly weird seeing the adventure club together.
After what happened last time I didn't expect it.
There was more fan service this time as well.
Juugo's situation seems to be getting worse.
The second half of the episode was more interesting.
Well, at least we saw some new characters this time.


Akuma no Riddle

Episode 6

Cultural festival?
Yup, no one is safe from school events LOL
They seem to be forcing that play again.
Wonder if they're gonna use it to try and kill Haru.
The answer to that is yes.
Well, at least that's over now.
The play wasn't actually that bad.
Its ending was very much real.


Jojo Stardust Crusaders

Episode  6

The shark part was just epic!
Talking about having a good use for your Stand.
Damn, they're not even safe at sea in the middle of nowhere.
That bunch is getting overly suspicious of everyone.
That's probably because the evil stands keep popping up all the time.
The Captain's stand was an admirable opponent.
The whole water element added more mystery to it.
Cool fight this time ^^
And an interesting ending.


Fairy Tail

Episode 6

Garou Knights vs Natsu & Co.
This should be very interesting.
It was certainly fun watching them fight ^^
Those Knights have interesting powers too.
It doesn't look like they're gonna quit anytime soon.
And no one is currently winning either.
Guess they're gonna be a serious problem for Fairy Tail.
The fight in the streets ain't progressing much either.


Kamigami no Asobi

Episode 6

Tsukito's rule enforcement took a toll on him.
He was definitely taking his job too seriously.
Loki pulled an interesting prank this time.
It sure was fun watching them squirm ^^
And the electrocution part was hilarious!!
So was the obvious spaying/jealousy part from the other guys.
This was a really nice & fun episode!


One Piece

Episode 644

What happened to Sunny?
There were some weird things going on.
Well, weirder than usual anyway.
I personally didn't the transformations much.
They were just too unusual.
This was the weirdest episode ever.
Well, at least the first half of it was.
Luffy sure got popular fast.
Seems like everyone wants to kill him..
Epic episode end!!


Escha & Logy no Atelier

Episode 5

They released the episode rather late this week.
Wonder what happened?
Anyway, I'm glad it's finally out.
Escha was pretty hyper this time ^^
Even more than usual.
The new apprentice is cute and really helpful.
Those rabbit like things are so adorable ^^
Guess their apprentice turned out to be in need of help as well.
Nice episode.


Haikyuu!!

Episode 6

*sigh* Hinata is totally hopeless.
His nervousness is through the roof.
Poor guy really can't take pressure well.
It's just a practice match, but still...
OMG! First set was a disaster.
Hinata totally unintentionally sabotaged the match.
Kageyama's little talk with him seem to have done the trick.
Great episode!

Asian Movies - High School Debut

I recently came across this movie while I was bored and hanging out at youtube. At first I thought it was a JDrama since it was chopped up into pieces. After a first few parts I figured out it was actually a movie.

High school Debut very much reminded me of Nobuta wo Produce JDrama. It was the first thought that came to mind when I saw Haruna beg You to be her teacher. Watching her make a fool out of herself all the time was kinda fun, but it was also refreshing watching a person be herself without any guilt. I guess after all the trouble of trying to adapt her to the society, You realized that she's perfect just the way she is. It was really nice watching a love story unfold in such a short time, since it is a movie and not a JDrama, they did an excellent job of fitting everything in this movie in a perfect way.

If you like to watch school-love themed Asian movies/Dramas you will most certainly love this one. I highly recommend it!

Plot:

Haruna Nagashima (Ito Ono) devoted herself to softball while in middle school. Now that she is in high school, Haruna believes its time find a boyfriend. Unfortunately for Haruna, she didn't pay attention to trends and is now clueless on how to attract a boy. Through a fortuitous event, Haruna encounters popular upperclassman You Komiyama (Junpei Mizobata) Haruna asks You to teach her how to become attractive to boys. You agrees but with one catch. She can't fall in love with him...

Kamigami no Asobi

Episode 5

Takeru seems to be the odd one out this time.
He sure has a difficult personality.
Yui was having trouble with persuading him.
Going one on one with him was interesting to watch.
Guess everyone melts eventually...
Damn, that Zeus can really be a pain sometimes.
I'm glad the whole class decided to make a stand.


One Piece

Episode 643

Law got himself in a middle of serious trouble.
Issho, Law and Doflamingo, that's gonna be one hell of a fight.
Wish they would stop prolonging its start.
Seems like everyone was having problems of their own.
Luffy and the arena part was fun!
It looks like he wasn't even serious about it ^^
He was just having fun and enjoying himself.


Gokukoku no Brynhildr

Episode 5

This is slowly turning into a harem.
I just hope the story doesn't suffer because of it.
More info about Neko this time.
That's always nice!
Kotori, the spy, put up a pretty good act.
Wonder if she's just that good or just an airhead..
Well, at least the astronomy club did same actual club activities.
Kana's forecasts were rather weird this time.
AA+ type sure is scary and dangerous..


Haikyuu!!

Episode 5

Tanaka & Hinata gloating was fun ^^
It was a good match.
So, finally, they made the team.
The typical cartoon sound at 10th minute was a nice surprise.
The upcoming practice match should be a blast.
Can't wait to see that!
Hinata sure was feeling the pressure..


Yowamushi Pedal

They're gonna have to spill a lot of sweat to make it work.
Another 2 on 2 race.
There's a lot at stake this time.

Imaizumi practically died... but it was fun ^^
This race is intense beyond belief!
Can't wait to see who won.

After all the craziness with Gastrea.
Guess people have their own level of crazy too.
Satomi seems to be collecting lolis LOL


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 128

We lost a great guy...
It's a shame for Netero.
Looks like some are lucky to get another chance at life.
Guess it's not that easy to get rid of the king.
There was a lot of weirdness in the first half.
He came back stronger and scarier.
Pouf sure came up with a devious plan fast.
Things should get really interesting from now on.


Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 361

I'm glad this is the last filler episode.
Even though this filler session wasn't that bad.
It was nice to see a lot of Kakashi.
This was a really nice story.
How Naruto, Sasuke & Sakura ended up with Kakshi as sensei.
Some of it was new and some was not.
From Kakashi's perspective, things looked slightly different.
Good ending of the fillers.

JGames - Love Revo (Otometemeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo) (NDS)

I was looking for a PC version of this game, but could only find NDS version with English translation. At first I was a bit disappointed since NDS has small screens and the quality of graphics is not nearly as good as on PC. Well, since that was my only option, I decided to give it a try.

The story of this dating sim is a bit unusual when you compare to e.g. Tokimeki series. The heroine is an overweight girl who decided to change her life after a few hot guys moved in her apartment building. Here is were the struggle with exercising, school and dating begins.

Honestly, I was surprised how time flied by while I was playing this game. It totally sucked me in and I just couldn't stop playing it. Although the story doesn't sound like much, it's really interesting and fun helping out the heroine get her hot guy. As I usually do in this type of games I went straight for the hottest and hardest to win guy, Ichinose Ren. It took me about 8-9 hours to finish his route. Of course, I got the happy end and I was surprised how happy I was after I got it. Guess this game really draws you in.

All in all, I spent a fun few hours playing it. Sadly, the NDS version can't give you all the beauty of the bonus images that you get at the end of the route due to small screen size. It's a shame no one translated the PC version. Enjoy!
