Ao Haru Ride

Episode 10

Study session went relatively well.
Futaba coming back out of curiosity for Yuuri situation last time.
She couldn't get much out of Kou though..
At least she finally found out why Kou changed so much.
That was what Yuuri found out... about Kou's mom's death.
Futaba's little breakdown led to a nice moment with Kou.
Sensei totally ruined that though..
He kinda made up for it with the story of their past.
Yuuri spilled her feelings about the Kou situation.
Yeah, it sucks when friends fall for the same guy..


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 146

Gon x Ging reunion.
It was so not what I expected.
Their talk didn't have anything to do with their relationship.
I was glad the crowd pointed out some things about it.
Gon's choice for the chairman was a surprise.
Seems like Ging isn't all bad after all..
Pariston got officially elected.
Damn, Killua & Something situation even made me sad.
Who knew Something loved him too..
It was such a touching moment.
Great episode! Especially the Killua part.


Free! Eternal Summer

Episode 11

Swim club just got instantly famous & popular.
Haru still has issues with swimming only to win.
Even his teammates can see a change in his swimming..
Rin was a booming success with the scouts.
It's nice to be able to choose any team you want.
Obon festival... nice & a basic part of almost every anime.
No matter how many times I've seen it, it's still beautiful.
Haru's team gave him a nice ego boost.
Still, that was not enough to snap his out of his depressed state.
His fight with Makoto was rather dramatic.
Looks like Haru has a crisis of future occupation.


Bakumatsu Rock

Episode 11

The Ultra Souls vs the Government plans.
Let the final fight begin!
Cindy got hypnotized... not good.
Things got really serious fast.
Battle of the bands, nice!
Ryouma managed to snap him out of it.
Looks like Naosuke wasn't the ultimate bad guy.
With him out of the picture an even worse guy will come out of the shadows.


Love Stage!!

Episode 10 Final

Izumi got himself into serious trouble.
Guess he's irresistible even to guys..
Was a nice surprise that he could put up a fight.
Ryouma gave him the strength to break free.
Izumi finally found out how Ryouma got his manuscript autographed.
It sure was a really sweet and selfless thing to do.
Kuroi was nice enough to share all those details.
This episode had quite a few flashbacks.
Lala-Lulu part where she gave her approval of Izumui-Ryouma relationship was really nice.
Such a spicy, fan service, very yaoi ending ~kyaa
The real confessions after that were so so sweet ^^


Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 376

Orochimaru & Kabuto's experiment.
Not surprised things went very wrong.
Naruto & his clones training..
Sasuke completely indifferent.
So we're thrown back into the past..
Naruto mecha was a weird one.
Guess they're promoting the new Naruto game like hell.
It was ROFL seeing Naruto's friends being used as bearers.
Being cramped inside with a person about to puke was very amusing.
Well, at least I had a few laughs.

Episode 377

The Naruto getaway continues.
That Mecha sure was persistent.
It also had a lot of transformation modes.
Damn, it was weird watching these episodes.
Not even Gaara or Jiraya could help him.
Mecha-me mode was just over the top..
They totally ripped off the Iron Man thing.
This episode was just too much...


Tokyo Ghoul

Episode  11

Kaneki being tortured.
The background about Jason made some things more clear.
Anteiku, the Doves & his friends all at the same time!
Amon showed some nice moves.
Lots of censored blood again..
Things got pretty intense, but interesting too.
Still waiting for Kaneki to snap and come out of his cocoon.


Zankyou no Terror

Episode 9

More info about the duo's past got revealed.
The Athena plan were experiments on savant brain function drug.
They've done some horrible things to those kids.
Guess the lucky ones were those that didn't go insane or die.
No wonder 9 & 12 escaped the first chance they got.
5 gave 9 a nice challenge with the bomb on Lisa.
Still, I though it was gonna something that involved face-to-face with 5.
Very interesting episode!

Fairy Tail

Episode 23

12 Gates of Zodiac vs The Portal = no damage
Future Rogue vs Natsu, the final showdown.
Guess nothing can be done without Natsu.
Rogue was defeated and portal destroyed in one swift move.
The dragons disappeared shortly after that. So did the everything from the future.
It kinda seemed too easy.
I'm thinking there must be more to it..
Future Rogue spilled some Frosch info to Natsu.
Still, that's not something mayor.
Guess that arc is over...


Sword Art Online

Episode 10

Sinon got saved in the last moment.
Of course Kirito came through for her.
Weird she couldn't shoot at the horse or DG.
Must have been the trauma of it.
Buggy vs Horse!
Thanks to Kirito's help Sinon managed to fire her shot.
At least they got him off their tail.
Sinon broke down and spilled the beans about her trauma.
Kirito did the same..
At least now everything is out in the open.


Aldnoah.Zero

Episode 10

Rayet messed things up.
Still Inaho saved the day.
Rayet declared herself as Martian, not Vers. Interesting.
Princess actually forgave her attempted murder..
Inaho has skills. Wonder what his story is.
Saazbaum finally explained the Vers situation and goal.
Wow! Princess went live and finally showed her face in public.
It was nice she set things straight.
Seems like Saazbaum has his own plan.. That can't be good.


Barakamon

Episode 9

Seishuu looking for new inspiration.
He sure got defeated by a bathtub fast enough LOL
At least he learned how to do another new thing.
Damn, his fear of bugs always has such funny outcomes.
Naru on fire duty... not the best choice.
Poor Seishuu never has any privacy at all.
The bullying part was kinda weird-ish but funny too.
Naru just wasn't having a good day.. neither was sensei...
Still he managed to see some really nice nature & find his inspiration.


One Piece

Episode 660

Monet before she was a half bird creature.
Doflamingo's gang all in one place.
Princess Viola didn't stand a chance.
King Riku got the worst possible role by Doflamingo.
So much violence... not something typical for this anime.
At least not in that amount.
The ruthlessness and the suffering were horrible.
And then Doflamingo showed his face as a savior.
What an awful way to get a country.
OMG! Violet is actually Princess Viole.
We might see a Toys rebellion sometime soon.


Haikyuu!!

Episode 23

Aoba Johsai had a few new tricks up their sleeve.
Still, Karasuno managed to keep up.
This was the last set so things got creative & intense.
Hinata gave it his all and then some..
All of them were slowly getting tired.
Yamaguchhi in, Hinata out. Did not see that coming.
The atmosphere on the court was serious as hell.
Damn... he messed up... but at least the mood changed for the better.
Amazing! This game was simply amazing!!


Akame ga Kill!

Episode 10

Tatsumi & Esdeath moment ROFL
That crazy bitch really likes him...
Esdeath's new team the Jaegers are pretty scary, but impressive too.
Tatsumi was pretty stubborn about converting Esdeath, but it was useless.
She does genuinely like him though.
Tatsumi used his chance to escape.
He got sidetracked by mystery man...
Luckily Akame came to his rescue.
Esdeath was so not happy about Tatsumi's escape.
The last scene of the episode was very interesting.


DRAMAtical Murder

Episode 10

Aoba save quite a few of his friends now.
Those experiences are starting to weigh down on him.

Aoba sure is attached to his Allmate Ren.

Luckily Aoba used his advantage(voice) to control the security.
This time was Mink's turn to his head examined by Aoba..


Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

Episode 10

Yuzuki & Hori story.
As expected of Nozaki, he always uses his friends for a good story.
Damn, those two in the movies were LOL
Yuzuki's reactions were totally off to everything ^^"
She kept shocking Wakamatsu.
Poor Hori just can't take enough punishment...
OMG! Kashima is tone deaf. I thought she was perfect.
The school play seems to be coming along nicely.
Kashima & Hori had a nice fencing match but both wanted to win..
Mikorin totally fell for another trap.

JDrama - Vampire Host

Just finished watching Vampire Host, a Japanese drama series. This one was originally aired quite a few years ago, but despite it's now a new series, it was still pretty fun to watch. The story revolves around Suou and Rion, a real vampire and a high school girl with a detective spirit. Most of the vampire stuff is rather exaggerated, but on purpose. At first it was kinda stupid, but when you get used to it, it's not that bad. I think they made this series so you can have some fun watching it. This is not a serious show, more like a parody on vampires. Still, it's fun to watch and the plot isn't half bad either. If you have some free time and want to watch something fun, I'd recommend this.

Plot:

Rion, a naive, loudmouthed teenager, investigates a host club full of vampires when she suspects they must be related to the disappearance of a lot of people in the neighborhood, including her best friend.

In the process she begins to befriend them, especially the leader Suou, with whom she develops a romantic relationship.

Seems like they are looking for Rize and poor Kaneki smells just like her...
Ayato vs Touka. She's so weak compared to him.
Yamori/Jason kicked the shit out of Kaneki & kidnapped him too.

Getting Kaneki back is gonna be nearly impossible.
Tsukiyama is back in the game too..


Naruto Shippuuden

Episode 375

I just love watching Naruto & Sasuke fight together!
Obito vs Kakashi continued..
Part present, part past yet still amazing.
That fight was one of the highlights of this episode.
Madara used Obito again just after he got his ass kicked by Kakashi.
Hashirama and Tobirama running clone interference for Madara.
Naruto's dad went straight to the source but seems it was too late.

Send her a nice "gift" too.
With that 5's intentions have once again been made clear.
Shibazaki found something interesting.
Looks like their past might get revealed at last.
Lisa realized she was too much trouble and left the guys.
Leaving them didn't mean she was off the hook with 5.
Just the opposite, our Lisa got kidnapped.
5 laid out her trap nicely.
Lisa just might be the duo's undoing..


Kill la Kill

OVA

Sanageyama vs Satsuki!
That guy was attacking like crazy.
Still, he was no match for her.
He was obviously delusional from the start.
The Academy is done for too.
Satsuki was obviously a pale image of herself.
Everyone is moving... leaving that place.
Guess there is not life there without the Academy.
Mako was EPIC for one last time..
Things were peaceful... until the Elite 4 got new life fiber uniforms or their clones did.
Rei, Satsuki's "sister" was the cause of all this mess.
The originals were having trouble dealing with the copies.
Ryuko is awesome when she in fight mode!!
As usual, she saved the day.

Unwritten OVA

Futaba's life summery.
Middle school days..

Nice ova.


Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus

Episode 9

Ciel's servants had a fun time.
Those circus guys had no way out.
They just didn't stand a chance.
Finny sure demolished the mansion though..
He wasn't the only one either.
Grell's fit was ROFL while watching dead circus girl's record.
That crazy doctor used the dead kids to make prosthetics.
Ciel lot it when doc stabbed that girl.
Guess the trauma is still too big.
Damn, Sebastian sure is a handy tool ^^

Polnareff was like a kid.
He totally enjoyed every second of it.

Tokyo ESP

Episode 9

Minami reminiscing about her childhood days.
No wonder she became strong.
School under esper attack..
Minami got her powers in just the right time.
I knew they did something to Azuma.
He never would have helped the bad guys.
Seems like they were all being mind controlled by the blonde girl.
Poor Rinka got too much of beating..
She lost her fish and with it her powers.
The government meddle in as well & that's never a good thing.
They're rounding up all the ESP users.
Now they have more than one enemy.
Murasaki was awesome with those nunchucks.
Things went downhill really fast...

DRAMAtical Murder

Episode 9

Clear comes to Aoba's rescue.
The shower part was a big deal.
Clear finally showed his face!
To think he was hiding such a pretty face..
The brainwashing music was having a negative effect on Aoba.
He sure is a special guy.
Hope Clear won't wear that mask again.
He doesn't need it at all.
Wtf?! Clear has clones? And they work for Toue!
Looks like he isn't even human..
All that explains why he had the mask on all the time.
Still, shame that his role ended so soon..


Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

Episode 9

Sakura is the same idiot as Nozaki.
Those two really are for each other.
Everything is a manga story opportunity for Nozaki.
At least Kashima didn't have any umbrella problems.
Yuzuki saved the day with her umbrella LOL
Wasn't Nozaki supposed to be carrying the umbrella? ROFL
Miyako mangaka was still having tanuki problems..
There is no way she could get rid of her tanuki crazed editor.
Good episode.


Ao Haru Ride

Episode 9

Futaba observing Kou.
Seems like his grades are not good..
Those 3 girls are so much closer now.
It's good they are sharing info about Kou.
Looks like Kou doesn't like make-up on Futaba.
Little talk with sensei made things clearer about Kou's behavior.
Study session at Kou's place took him by surprise.
It was more of an intervention though.
Not that he was in the mood to cooperate..
It was nice when he finally caved in though ^^
Kou & Yuuri had a moment in the kitchen.
Something definitely happened between them.
Now I'm dying to know what exactly!!


Magi: Sinbad no Bouken

OVA 1

Sinbad, from birth to childhood.
He sure was an amazing kid.
Yunan was a good match for unusual kid like Sinbad.
For such a young guy he was the carer of his village.
The forced military service came at the worst time.
Yunan put an interesting bug in his ear.
That was motivation enough to inspire him for greatness.

OVA 2

Drakon & Sinbad, what a duo LOL
They were so different that they were actually alike.
It's always nice to see enemies turn into firends.
Sinbad totally grew on Drakon.
Think he even started to admire him.
Sinbad managed to conquer the tower, but lost his sickly mother.
A sad ending after such an accomplishment.


Hunter x Hunter

Episode 145

OMG! Leorio is in the lead!
I half saw that coming, but still..
Killua & Alluka finally in Gon's hospital room.
Gon sure was in a horrible state. Totally unrecognizable.
Even Killua was horrified and shocked by his condition.
Killua made the wish. Alluka fulfilled it. Scary powerful.
The elections got pretty intense too.
It came down to Leorio vs Pariston.
In the middle of it all Gon appeared!
Healing worked, Alluka did it.
I just wonder at what price..
Gon - Ging reunion! More next time I guess..
Great episode!!


Free! Eternal Summer

Episode 10

Sousuke and his shoulder...
He was still very defensive about the issue.
I regret that he's injured because I think he could show so much more.
More flashbacks to Sousuke and Rin's childhood.
Sousuke was forced by Rin to spill the beans.
Finally his story was revealed.
Looks like he's determined to give his all even if it's the last time!
Rei & Nagisa didn't generally do that well, but they at least tried.
Relay time!! The thing we've all been waiting for.
The race was intense as hell!!
It was amazing watching them swim.
Iwatobi is the king of relay! <3
Off to the nationals for them.


Bakumatsu Rock

Episode 10

Government is moving against the rockers again.
This time their measures have escalated.
Looks like their concerts had consequences for the fans as well.
New Government's idol group Justice looks interesting.
Especially so when they are practically kids.
The Ultra Souls crashed yet another concert.
Battle of the bands was nice ^^
Ryouma had some kind of a breakdown.
Seems things aren't looking well for their band.


Love Stage!!

Episode 9

Izumi got popular fast!
The story about him was all over the media all the time.
Rei sure was full of himself now that his plan succeeded.
Suddenly Izumi is obsessing over Ryouma.
Rei giving his blessing to Izumi-Ryouma relationship was a shocker!
Ryouma was dealing with the misfortune of everyone liking Izumi.
His cuteness was out in the world & there was no privacy anymore.
Ryouma can't have him all to himself anymore.
All the worrying got him to a hospital 'cause of exhaustion.
Izumi was turining into a shoppingholic..
Rei sure was open minded about Izumi swimming in BL waters.
Things sure are going in an interesting direction.
Being famous just backfired on him..

Anime Movies - Steins;Gate Fuka Ryouiki no Deja vu

Steins;Gate anime series was unique and somewhat complex, but I really enjoyed it. It was amazing how they managed to incorporate science, fun and normal life into one series. After the anime series I expected nothing less from this movie and as expected it didn't disappoint. 

It's been a while since the series ended, so it was nice to see all the familiar characters once again. I really missed them all, especially Okabe and Kurisu ^^ You can never get tired of watching those two bicker LOL

Time travel can be very problematic and confusing. Memory leaks from previous time lines seem to be causing unpredictable behavior problems. Well, when you mess with time, there are bound to be some consequences.

If you don't watch this movie closely from beginning to the end, you'll probably get lost along the way. At first things were pretty simple, but then again, things are never what they look like in Steins;Gate. After some time, it got complicated rather quickly with a pretty big dose of emotions and seriousness.

The animation was pretty much the same as the anime series which means really nice character animation with details and very well done backgrounds as well.

Honestly, Steins;Gate is just that kind of anime which you have to see for yourself to like it or hate it. Give it a try if you're a newbie. If you know the series and have seen it, you'll enjoy this movie.

Genre: sci-fi, thriller, mystery

Plot:
The film takes place one year after the events of the anime series. After going through a painstaking journey across multiple 'World Lines' due to the invention of 'D-Mail', text messages that can be sent to the past, Rintarou Okabe has assumedly landed in the "Steins Gate" World Line, in which none of his friends would have to die and a future ruled by SERN due to the invention of a time machine no longer exists. However, Rintarou soon starts feeling the side effects of his constant time travelling across multiple World Lines, which soon builds up and causes Rintarou to suddenly vanish from existence, with only Kurisu Makise, the girl who he had saved thanks to his efforts, remembering him through déjà vu. It is now up to Kurisu to find a way to get Rintarou back.
