Tekken: Blood Vengeance in Review [8/10]

So I saw this torrent and had no clue what to expect going in. I was surprised to see it was full CG movie as I picked it up off Nyaa torrents. I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw even if the ending seemed to not make much sense. I guess not having any real background in the Tekken universe didn't help. My only real exposure was Tekken 3 that I played long long ago and I didn't take the time to learn all their stories back then...

Mirai Nikki Ep08 - New Friends, and Enemies

I love how Hinata's friend takes pictures here This episode starts off two weeks after the death of Rei, with Yukkii and Yuno attending a new school. I just want to point out that I totally called it, Kurusu ended up handling the death of Rei, and it seems they decided to leave out Yukkii by not telling him about Rei's death. It was a clever way to hide his death from Yukkii and his mother, although I had a feeling it would turn out this...

Gundam Age 08 - Gear Carried Gundams

This episode started off on a terrible note. They spent the first seven minutes redoing the last one minute of the last episode. Did we really need to see in detail the other pilot losing and his Gundam's transformation sequence? At least we got some good scenes with White Wolf's nice entrance in a mobile suit that looked much better then this trash Gundam...

Ben-To 08 - The Product of a Fanservice Anime

The fanservice levels in this episode was off the charts! Too bad it felt like a step back after that awesome episode last week. This episode just lacked the fighting it has had in every other episode. Without it, it just didn't feel right. Btw. is it just me, or does those twins and the ice witch look identical? I should stop remembering characters by their hair colour D...

Last Exile 07 - Slice of Fam Life arc over?

Oh shit, that wasn't cute girls doing cute things with airships! After last weeks episode with the pace picking up, they are really raising the bar with another crazy episode and promise of another action packed episode next week. We are finally done with watching Fam go around fan faning around and hoping we would enjoy that...

Fate/Zero 09 - Lancer's Curse

This episode was just awesome. You can't help but feel bad for Lancer's eventual fate. An emotional rollercoaster as we watch Lancer's development and more of how Rider is just awesome. It is sad all the awesome servants are going to be taken out first (excluding Caster, he can burn). Definitely made for an amazing episode especially for a bridging episode that ended up being just as good as the fighting...

Penguindrum 20 - The Truth of the Takakuras

Slightly late with this post due to being overworked at work and trying to beat Recettear which is addicting as hell, I'll do a review that later. So, we are finally shown the truth of their family as things start to connect together. With only four episodes remaining, it is clear the direction they will be taking this anime now. Just as I predicted last week...

Phi Brain Kami no Puzzle - 08 - The Resort's Friendly Puzzle

The episode was actually called "Crab! Hot Springs! Puzzle King!", but it should have been called the "Meh, it was OK" episode. This episode was one of those side episodes, meaning it wasn't your fan-based episode, but it also wasn't really a plot driven, or character revealing episode. If I were to explain the episode, I would simply say it was a wake-up call to some of our own issues in the real world. The episode explores the beauty of...

Guilty Clown 07 - Back to School to Create a Harem

So they decided to not even pretend this show wasn't just selling fanservice. I guess it should have been obvious from what Inori walks around in all the time. We finally get some real screen time for the mother and some new student council girl that have both fallen for our main character. His harem seems to grow without him even trying, no different from my other harem anime...

Mashiro-Iro Symphony 08 - MIU route get!

Oh ya baby!! MIU ROUTE CONFIRMED!!! Well I guess I get to eat my words now, I was pretty certain that Miu would play zero role all season and BAM, she ends up being the one to be picked. This just shot this anime up in my books. I am still a bit in awe that the anime turned so suddenly towards her, definitely didn't see this coming at all...

C Cube 08 - What is Love?

Five days after its airing, I finally got around to doing this post. Unsurprisingly, this episode concluded the Sovereignty/Shiraho arc. As expected, there was a battle in the first half to resolve Sovereignty's conflict, though it went differently from what I thought it would. The latter half was pretty much putting the finishing touches on the arc, as well as hinting towards the next arc. Yeah! Fear's crazy faces make their return. I...

Kimi to Boku Ep05

I forgot to mention it in the last episode, but I've dropped Yagami and picked up Sage for this series. Yagami started really lagging behind after the first few episodes, and they've yet to catch up (have they just dropped it?), meaning that Sage is a much better choice. Given that it's essentially the same subs, the only loss is the font colour. This episode began during the month's worth of summer vacation (I thought it was only two weeks...

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon 01- 04 & Story Explained

Ok so I'll be going through each Horizon episode with the first impressions I had when I first watched them. Then at the end I'll give out a conclusion of how I see the series so far.   ------------------------------------------------------ Important! Need to knows: I watched from a few different sources and found out that there are different subbs with different translations. So depending on what subbed version you watching will determine...
