TWINTAIL LOLI TSUNDERE CHECK ! OSANANAJIMI CHECK ! BIG BREASTED LOLITA CHECK ! DEADPAN CHECK ! AND TRAP ?

the main reason which is pulled my attraction onto this series is harem together with gun porn- aside from that, i've reads the first 5 chapters of its manga and the concept itself thus resolve around the main lead are very intriguing and promising... likewise, i'm eager to see which anime production will works on this one- hopefully JC STAFF though the chances are very slim... what's more, i heard that there's a 'trap'...


p/s: i love tsundere, is that makes me a masochist ?

if i've been asked which is the best single in this spring, i must say Akiko Shikata's for sure- love all 3 tracks especially 'TETHE'ALLA', what can be expect more from her- has the voice and looks of a goddess, her song has become my obsession since Umineko last year, and also Ar Tonelico 3's soundtracks...

Photobucket

official site: www.asoiku.com

Summary:
The story revolves around Kio Kakazu, an ordinary high school freshman living in Okinawa. A girl with cat ears appears before him during a memorial service for one of his family ancestors. The girl calls herself Eris and claims she is an alien. Before long, fanatical alien worshippers and a mysterious government agency are in hot pursuit of Eris, but Kio's childhood friend Manami - who wants to follow in her father's footsteps in the CIA - captures Eris. Kio finds himself having to protect Eris from everyone.

Voice Casts:
Kanae Itō as Erisu
Haruka Tomatsu as Manami Kinjō
Kana Hanazawa as Aoi Futaba
Mutsumi Tamura as Kio Kakazu


HUGE BREASTED HORO GET !!

for the whole year since it 1st announced for an anime adaptation and just recently the official site has announced that it will be broadcasted in this summer along with the main VC confirmation- yet another Kana/Haruka pairing (To-Love-Ru, Asu no Yoichi etc) altogether with Kanae (Mayoi Neko Overrun!) who are infamous with her 'DIE TWICE!', i can foresee this as another promising harem premise... instead of a wolf, Asobi ni Iku yo! offered an alien services, cant really tell Eris is a cat or dog but i'll pick the 1st choice instead... at any case, it's AIC again !! no wonder the characters design is a bit similar with Asu no Yoichi...

honest speaking, i'm not into 'GO! GO! MANIAC' at all even the side-b track, 'Genius...' doesn't move me... however i do enjoy its off vocal version and might take it as my cellphone ringtone- ... aside 'Listen!!' is the only worth song for me from this double singles, well not a typical die hard Mio fan but at least it was much better song than OP...

ISML 2010 Topaz Necklace Winner : Aisaka Taiga

ISML 2010 official site: www.internationalsaimoe.com

what a blow, Mikoto's undefeated run ends here with a not too small margin loss to Hinagiku eventually closed her chances to grabs Topaz necklace and it fall to Taiga hand who defeats Kyou to ground in progress, even the Topaz necklace defender, Yuki fail to stand against the invincible Shana... overrally Topaz period slightly can be a measuring stick to where the candidates stand especially Mikoto who against the last year champion and Taiga who proved that last year double success is not a fluke-

cool they released Angel Beats insert song this early, fair enough it's to reminisces Iwasawa thus aren't make her showdown again after this- though i'm not into "My Song", "Crow Song" is awesome and "Alchemy" is great as well... now i'm looking forward to Yui to become Girls Dead Monster regulars and probably the main singer soon, i'm fine with Kitamura Eri's song, she's doing great in Seto no Hanayome and ChäoS;HEAd characters song and Yui definitely a promising one ;3

FFFFF- YEAH !! EARCANDY OF THE SEASON !!

finally i've been waiting for this !! among all new OP in the whole spring season, "Baptize" secured the top place in my book for sure :D ... well the second track "call my name" is a great song as well but it's not addicting and blasting enough compared to "Baptize" and i think "Tasogare no Gekka" is much better... nonetheless, be a fan of Yousei Teikoku myself, i'm looking forward in the future if they'll come up with another compilation album after Propaganda and Doctrine, hopefully ;3

Kure-nai : OVA PV

Photobucket

official site: jumpsq.shueisha.co.jp/contents/kurenai-dvd

LOLICON OF THE YEAR !!

the official site just launched the PV for Kurenai OVA or OAD to be exact, i must say it gives me wonderful feeling especially the characters design are exactly like its manga- tbh i'm not fond enough with Kurenai TV series b4, the atmosphere seems gloomy unlike its manga which is superior than the anime in terms of plot explanation and story progress, thanks heaven this OVA will filled that hole hopefully plus Kirihiko debut [FFFFFF- YAY] and obviously they're hinting about Akuu Company from her ;D


well instead of OVA, like usual i'm more prefer TV series- but when thinking that its light novel and manga still ongoing, it probably will ruin the ending with filler thus will generate my disgust on it... same anime production as Durarara / Denpateki na Kanojo- i wont complain more :P

Eureka Seven : Final Impresion

Photobucket

Eureka Seven
Producers: Bones
[ Official | ANN | MAL ]


it was quite late for me to completed watching this series despite the whole episodes has been residing in my hdd for a long time, watch few episodes and then hold on... like usual excuse, irl commitment plus a new series holds me from watching it and just this week, i resolve to finish it for sure...

for a 50 episodes run plus it has been made by BONES- i believe no anime freak out there never heard about Eureka Seven... for awhile after finished watching, i was thinking BONES has made a tremendously creative series set in an intriguing world, there's no much problem lies in the execution story- basically E7 is all about two difference beings falling each other but there's too much resistant upon them... it starts off averagely for the 1st half and became tense in other half though there's few relaxing episodes pops up, but i still can overlook that by viewing this is an one year running series...

characters development doesn't mixed up with plot progressing alas i just have one complain, Renton, yes the main lead and our world savior, unlike Simon(TTGL) he still crying like a wimp even in the last episode duh~ what the hell, where is your guts that has been built up b4 !? well for characters design, it's an ok, all i can say the rest of BONES's work is actually based on E7 design such as Xam'd and Heroman which is recently aired...



next, its animation also can be considered as beautiful around that period, 2005 when E7 start airing, well drawn setting, cool looking mecha, even the battle sequences are also first class along with outstanding sound effect and bgm...

as for a romance series, the couple intercourse play its role but what i want to highlighting here is- despite Eureka and Renton are the main character, Anemone and Dominic relationship won over them, completely- in fact their part has done, BONES should give them credit to reveal themselves in the brightest limelights in final episode but... forget it... overall i can say, this series is a okay to watch but just need some endurance to keep clear mind seeing the same outfit considering its 50 episodes... final words, thanks for the ride ;3

Story (10/10)
Animation (8/10)
Sound (9/10)
Characters (8/10)
Enjoyment (8/10)
Final Score (8.6/10)

p/s: Eureka Seven: Pocket Full of Rainbows is an alternative version of E7 TV series, i might consider to watch it when have spare time :3

Spring Series 10 : Quick Impression [Part 2]

Arakawa Under the Bridge
Producers : SHAFT
Approval : 4.5/5

WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS !!


considering this one is from SHAFT, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be and ofc it was sooo much better than DitVB despite they still cant get rid of those eyeball fetish crap- nonetheless, humor kind are definitely SHAFT's forte and let it stay as it was, no more action adaptation please... Nino is awesome !! Maaya Sakamoto done right, and ofc another Araragi though :P

ETU = MAN UTD ??


i barely into sports genre because it was always baseball, baseball, baseball and baseball every season and i'm get tired of those shit- glad this one is football with such a confusing title :P ... tbh the animation isn't great compared to the newer series in this season but still enjoyable to watch... the produser might think the upcoming World Cup will slightly risen up this series popularity duh~

Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan
Producers : Studio DEEN
Approval : 3.5/5

BISHOUNEN !! щ(゚Д゚щ)


i dont know why i'm still didnt drop this one, mostly i can see here is bishounen, bishounen and bishounen... i thought i'm watching some yaoi stuff but please, i know it will not go on that way, Edo era and shinsengumi is already absorbing me along with promising plot, ofc looking forward for the upcoming romance as well :3 ... the animation is above average, sometimes i wonder is DEEN really trolling with Umineko since they pulled out a great animation as Touka Gettan b4 and then decreasing their quality since that...

K-ON!!
Producers : Kyoto Animation (KyoAni)
Approval : 5/5

ENCORE !!


we are here again, i know there's a lot of fan and heater out there but i still remains neutral like usual... yet again a doubtless animation from KyoAni, enjoyable slapstick, plotless like always and the only variation is they're one year ahead plus all 4(Yui, Mio, Ritsu, Tsumugi) of them, i mean 5 include Nodoka in the same class... what i'm looking forward for in this season is- the 6th or ++ member, either kouhai or not will do... well there's a lot of rumors around the internet about it and only KyoAni can execute it... speak about profitable ;P

Kiss x Sis
Producers : feel.
Approval : 3.5/5

TWINCEST FTW !!


seriously i've overlooked this one because i thought it was another OVA episodes but it turn out to be TV series :P ... cant be helped, too much awesome series this season, it is fine as long as i just grab new episode releases... back to Kiss x Sis, it still same as the OVA, just an extended version thus faithfully with manga plot :3

Mayoi Neko Overrun!
Producers : AIC
Approval : 4.5/5

FUMINO + NOZOMI = ♥


one of the favorite series this spring plus Mayoi Neko Overrun! was done by AIC (Sora no Otoshimono / Seto no Hanayome) which is an anime production that i'm quite fond to- unlike SHAFT wif funken eyeball fetish, AIC have it own way to produces a delightful funny side in a certain scene... well i can see all around, majority didnt into this series, dunno what they're all complaining about but for sure i loved the first 2 episode though it was a bit different from manga, that is not the problem since this series is originally a light novel- taking overflowing tsundere-ness into account, i'm quite admire that Takumi already get used to it :3

KMT IN MUH ANIMU ?!


a typical superpower series setting in Shanghai- what i see is telekinesis, teleport and something like see through the wall reminds me exactly like what it done in Academy City inb4 someone with nullify or electric abilities appear :P ... yet they still can keep their originality, not a sensible spy ye can see these day... i dont give a damn about political issue-

MINICON INSTEAD OF LOLICON ? WHY CHOOSE ?


with spanking new concept among new series these day, the 1st two episodes are averagely good, well set up comedy, fine characters design... it can be a harem but that is unlikely to happen judging on Souta's preference :P


- - - - - - - - - -

p/s: for the time being i've dropped Rainbow and Hime Chen!... all i can say it is not up to my standard of taste to follow every week...

Sora no Otoshimono : Astraea Impact !!

Photobucket

official site: newtype.kadocomic.jp/soraoto

2nd season screencaps i suppose and what can i say from that- Astraea a.k.a. Delta is totally kickass !! it's unsurprisingly for her to get the whole limelight by looking at her quality xD ... with Kaori Fukuhara as her voice cast, i cant imagine myself for Tsukasa(LS)'s saying "baka~ baka~ baka~" lol




AIC, u are not disappointing meh

ISML 2010 Aquamarine Necklace Winner : Akiyama Mio

Photobucket

ISML 2010 official site: www.internationalsaimoe.com

Mio grab Aquamarine necklace with ease after defeating Yuki, it seem like i overlook her because i thought that Mikoto have a high chance for Aquamarine necklace before if she beats Taiga... as one of 4 unbeaten contestant, Mikoto shows some impressive improvement compared to last year ISML where she place no. 42 overall... for Mio, she's newcomer but have a big name behind her, K-ON! the result is to be expected... even Shana and Hinagiku fanbase hasnt fade yet, it just the matter of time before SnS and HnG 3rd season- could this year is another two-way battle between KyoAni and JC Staff or SHAFT and mayhaps DEEN joining in for the necklace race...

Spring Series 10 : Quick Impression [Part 1]

Photobucket

Angel Beats!
Producers : P.A. Works
Approval : 5/5

AFTERLIFE REVOLUTIONIST !!


the most anticipated shows of the season and i was so hype over this~ after watching the 1st episode, i must say this one is worth waiting no matter what kind of a Key fan i am... could be expected something amazing in an interlude episode especially the confrontation and gunfire with Tenshi in unison with the Girls Dead Monster's performance- also cant be overlook how beautiful animation and setting is being crafted... well i hope for them to pulls up a concert this early will not decline the momentum in further episode by repetitive events.... besides, Angel Beats represent a kind of typical characters design but i'm ok with that... well i can tell why Yuri is being compared to Haruhi with that hair style and ribbon, her personality as well i guess... also Otonashi = Kyon anyone? judging by nobody in this series is even remotely normal apart from him for being tsukkomi ; )

AN AMBITION TO BECOME A SLUT ??


i kind of facepalm for a moment... it started well but man, become an underwear specialist is more pure than this, despite being cute and voiced by Tamura Yukari, Yamada is an endangered species or what? nonetheless this will not be a solely reason for me to dropped this series at the moment, will give a shot for a few more episode for final decision because only her character development will be taking into account...

STAN LEE IN MUH ANIMU !?


typical American comic into anime? but seeing a school life with no seifuku give me a weird feeling, something missing thar- for animation and characters design, i think that is far Bones can go, still being overshadowed by Eureka 7 and Xamd i guess...

FUNDOSHI EYECANDY UPON JOO ~
 

1st episode seems promising but the fanservice is kind of overly done along with inconsistence censorship, well it's tolerable for me unlike a certain series... i myself like the plot and hope it'll hope it sticks to the story... it is cool to see the main character where Akuto just happens to be a kind-hearted demon king? at least not another incapable male character in a harem anime, the girls are extremely moe, no doubt, and moar Toyosaki Aki !! aside, the animation is averagely made though sometimes it's kinda bit rushed as the story progressing while the humor is not the real selling point but still enjoyable...

FINALLY MOUKI DEBUT !!


Bachou Mouki only appear once in manga or should i say a one-short story about her only and never get contact with Ryuubi- not until XX, hence it would be weird for one of five Tiger General didnt appear in Ikkitousen main event... in fact XX will go for original anime plot like GG, it will not going anywhere near its manga at all except for a massive yuri fanservice, even Koihime Musou was better in hilarity side...

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
Producers : J.C. Staff
Approval : 4/5

AYUZAWA FTW !!


as the premiere episode, the story is easy to follow and only the title can tells the story itself... the concept wasn't too original but the characters were all loveable especially Ayuzawa as her voice casting is fitting well too... at certain point, i think it's funny that some people are criticizing the way character design is be done compare to manga, for me it's more simple and satisfying and ofc i like it, it's not like J.C. Staff havent done this before...

FFFFF- KAZUTO WHAR !?


seriously, i don't know how to say how i really enjoyed this anime... yes, it was a bit letdown for last season conclusion but i feel revealed afterward when the 3rd season announced because most of new characters hasnt been introduced yet... this may not be a solid series but the cheerfulness among the character keeps it entertaining despite most of time, it seems plotless but being covered up by uproarious comedy :)
