Happy New Year and here it goes the 1st post in 2011 :D

Best Winter 2010 Anime : Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
Honorable Mentions : Katanagatari / Hanamaru Kindergarten

personally BakaTest triumph too far ahead of others especially when the finest trap of 2010 has been introduced..

Best Spring 2010 Anime : Angel Beats!
Honorable Mentions : Mayoi Neko Overrun! / Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou

i’ll never get bored with Jun Maeda and his pleasantly tearjerking romance.. Daimaou isn’t bad too but it has been made half-assed.. and i’d prefer MNO! over K-ON!! for the sake of tsunkick !!

Best Summer 2010 Anime : The Legend of The Legendary Heroes
Honorable Mentions : Highschool of the Dead / Amagami SS

cliffhanger ending for both DenYuuDen and HSOTD but it works too well for my interest, ofc the 2nd season is not impossible.. that’s why filler ending is unnecessary when they can always easily carry out the sequel from when it were left out..

Fall 2010 Anime [Short Impression : Part 1]

2010-10-29T04:00:00.000+08:00

alright, this is the remaining of my watchlist in this fall, i've gathered it into a couple post and part 2 will come soon ..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Tegami Bachi Reverse

Anime Production : Studio Pierrot
Genres : adventure, fantasy, supernatural
Approval : 3.5/5

Obviously a direct continuation from the previous one where Lad finally meet Gauche again but he somehow didn’t remember anything about Lad while claiming himself as Noir, who are working for an unknown dark organization which are oppose the government and the fellow Letter Bee arc nemesis .. there’s nothing change about its animation compare to the previous season, nevertheless, its OP hinted a lots of incident gonna occurs covering the important event and main plot progression of the series .. btw, it’s good to see Sylvette again though I’m definitely not gonna try her deadly homemade soup ..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Hakuouki Hekketsuroku

Anime Production : Studio DEEN
Genres : action, drama, historical, supernatural
Approval : 3.5/5

Another sequel that is a must for me to follow this season, there’s nothing much can I say here, Shinsengumi troupe is now changing and adapting into a modern war situation where gun is over the sword .. all characters now are with a new appearance, western clothing, well it’s definitely looks cool on them and makes fangirls across the world crying excitement .. anyway, looking on its OP, can tell it promising a lot of war while Chizuru main purpose is gone at time, bishie are tempting afterall for a girl ..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge

Anime Production : SHAFT
Genres : comedy, romance
Approval : 3/5

I’ve no idea what I need to say about this sequel, same animation, same setting, same characters plus a few of new faces also a thoughtful slapstick as its previous one, maybe I do forgot that Arakawa doesn’t have a plot but I just hoping for some, at least the revelation of Nino’s origin ..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Super Robot War OG -The Inspector-

Anime Production : Ashi Productions
Genres : action, mecha, sci-fi
Approval : 3.5/5

Alien invasion, conflict between human and epic battle between mechas, needless to say that’s the element what made it SRW besides the line up of the fellow hot chicks together with awesomely cool looking and unique mecha design .. well a great series doesn’t mean it’s completely flawless and I just need to pointing at the obvious one here, Exellen’s voice is freaking doesn’t suit her appearance [ wtf with that slutty tone ? ] .. that aside, it’s OP are awesomely PWND and also boobs-luscious ED !

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Bakuman

Anime Production : J.C. Staff
Genres : comedy, romance
Approval : 3/5

Another Weekly Shounen Jump’s manga to anime adaptation .. the concept they’re trying to show are fairly interesting whilst it can be related to a real life situation which are facing every mangaka, compete with each other, struggling for serialization etc .. and this is the story resolve around Saiko and Shuujin to become like that .. with decent animation and decent VA’s lineup, I just cant get exited in the beginning of this series, maybe because I’m still following it’s manga where it has reached a point where you can see trice excitement of the plot progression, note that this is not battle series ..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Ika Musume

Anime Production : Diomedea
Genres : comedy, slice of Life, supernatural[?]
Approval : 3.5/5

Among the lineup series in this fall, Ika Mususme are definitely worth in one’s watchlist for the sake of its humor .. with the intention of world domination, Ika Musume-chan ends up become a waitress in family footstalk and thus it began her daily life together with her zero knowledge about human world and their habitat, ofc it’s funny to see her how she’ll deal with it .. not forget to mention her VA, Kanae Itou fitting the role very well with her childish tone made the series more lol-tastical ..

To Aru Majutsu no Index 2 [Quick Impression]

2010-10-28T03:00:00.001+08:00

Anime Production : J.C. Staff
Genres : action, comedy, fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural, romance, ecchi
Approval : 5/5

HAREMU MAGNETIC RIGHT HAND

It’s unarguable anymore that IndexS2 was the most anticipated anime series this whole season .. Touma and his harem is back with a lot of promising arcs ! before I go further, firstly I’ve see there’s a small issue about which one’s better between the main stories, Index and its infamous spin-off, Railgun .. IMO it doesn’t matter which one’s superior because both have its own appeal, if not, Index LN vol. 22 wont topped the other which has been sold over 10k copies in first week it released, and Railgun, well it got its own fans after the anime been aired [ heck, I bet no one knows about Railgun manga after Index anime been aired ] .. anyway I guess the reason 1st season of Index are unlikable because they ends it in the wrong time thus leave an un-satisfaction feeling ..

as for me, after it end I close myself with its LN and find out that all those 24 episodes is nothing but a prelude to Index universe which is dividing it into several arc and mostly keen on characters depth and development [ Mikoto, Accelerator, Hyouka ] which are gonna play a vital role in upcoming event .. Railgun is otherwise, it can goes on over and over by the name of filler since it only resolved around Mikoto in her daily life [ yet it still hasn’t touch the dark stories behind her a.k.a. Imouto Arc ] .. compared to Index, there’s too many things need to cover, for instance, magic side which are divided into a number of faction, and even Academy City have its dark side .. as a bonus, Railgun’s 2nd main character, Kuroko aren’t been left out totally, and I must say that her own arc in Index are much thoughtful than her development in Railgun .. less action more talk ? what can be expected, this is Index, theories is always over an action anytime, Touma cant just break through and touching his foe just like that because it is more like a mind game than a street brawl .. heck even Accelerator get beaten into pulp by non ESPer other than Touma ..

enough with overture, once I start to writing, I cant stop myself .. back to IndexS2, the 1st episode practically just a small arc that were left out in IndexS1 and the real deal start at episode 2, note that this is the starting point of Touma’s conflict with Roman Catholic Church consequently will drag out to the World War 3 event in the future .. what is more, I can only smile about how faithful JCStaff is regarding its ecchi scene and also I just cant questions more about their animation quality and with that OP and ED, I easily favored it as the best amongst this whole autumn season .. Mikoto’s best part will come soon and not to forget the main course of Accelerator being appointed as the 2nd main lead in Index universe ..

Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai [Quick Impression]

2010-10-28T02:30:00.001+08:00

Anime Production : AIC Build
Genres : comedy, slice of life
Approval : 5/5

My Little Sister Cant be This Cute, cute itself can stand for another generic word among [ not all ] anime lover, it’s MOE !! .. but it attract more hater than lover, poor Kirino .. buts, the expanding of its popularity among fan is not a joke and had more than enough comparable with Angel Beats! .. I have nothing to say for those who don’t like it but still forcing themselves watching it for the sake of anime review ..

anyhow, back to OreImo franchise, actually I’ve know about this title for quite a while before its anime adaptation been announced and ofc it’s from manga, however, even both manga and LN are teamed up, it cant boost more love on Kirino besides its steady fanbase among LN reader .. nonetheless, knowing a small portion about OreImo franchise is enough for me to liking it as long as cute or moe premise playing its part .. the prelude by far got a similar concept with Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu but this one is more intriguing, the way how its plot develop and more realistic ..

unquestionable fact that the in the early episode was totally enjoyable, just cant get enough Kousaka priceless expression finding out his sister’s top secret fetish [ err I mean hobby .. ] and one after another things happened made of pure laugh even in the serious occasion such their father found out Kirino’s hobby .. likewise, Ayana’s voice fits Kirino perfectly, it is just a matter of time before her deredere side is shown and ofc, Nakamura Yuuichi also doing a great job as Kyosuke live up the series .. color me surprise if he soon will own a set of harem, Kirino included, that is .. well there’s nothing to complain about its animation, under the name of AIC, AIC Build is up to my expectation, love its OP, sometime give a vibe like I’m playing an eroge lol ..

Yasuga no Sora [Quick Impression]

2010-10-28T02:00:00.001+08:00

Anime Production : feel.
Genres : drama, ecchi, romance, harem
Approval : 5/5

Quite ordinary title we got here and I bet no one knows about this name a month ago other than its VN reader and for those who are keep an eye one the upcoming series for their favorite genre, harem .. I believe Yosuga no Sora begin to create its reputation under the theme of twincest which are obviously shown or hinted in the very first episode, more precisely in its OP ..

likewise, it’s very rare for VN adaptation getting attention unless a certain event were triggered and by far, after 3 episodes has been aired, many already claims that this series have probability for getting a ‘nice boat’ ending based on how Haruka already lay his hand on the girls beside the star of the series, Sora .. at any case, it has been cleared up in episode 4 that this one is a bit akin to Amagami where every girls get their own arc and even with only 12 episodes available [ I got a feeling this kind of idea will become a trend for any VN adaptation in the future ], the pace of story progression by far is greatly done, Haruka for sure is gonna spend his time for 2 episodes per girl, ofc the characters development divided fairly, save last for the best, that Sora’s is the last one ..

in other note, the lifespan of the stories has been decreased due to an extra omake that’s hardly related to the main plot, it’s kinda unnecessary but plus one for nipplez get !! aside, animation and background setting above average, it’s feel.’s work again certainly not a halfhearted one, but showing a sex scene is a bit daring, no [ i-it’s not lie I hate it !! ] .. and I love its characters design more than its original from VN, it may be a bit generic but those that made Sora more cute and more moe !! [ ♥ ] it’s unarguable anymore that she is one of the moe imouto in this autumn !!

Star Driver : Kagayaki no Takuto [Quick Impression]

2010-10-24T20:15:00.000+08:00

Anime Production : BONES
Genres : action, mecha
Approval : 4/5

APPRIVOISE !!

I must say that BONES and their weird mecha design cant be separated, Star Driver is another living proof after their previous work, Heroman [ well, I dropped it ] .. for me, mecha design is not the matter of why I’m watching mecha series but the path if it plot will go, Star Driver might be another hero centric franchise like Heroman [ overatted due to Stan Lee ] however the vibes of both show is completely in a different level ..

from what I’ve seen in the first 3 episodes, I find that the story is very promising, the Cybodies, 4 maidens and their sealed marks, an unknown dark organization, also the secrecy clouding around Takuto and the origin of his power .. nonetheless, the weekly climax moment may be a bit repetitive filled with the battle between the Cybodies, but I tend to like its BGM, Sakana-chan’s song and also the remarkable battle scene afterward especially in episode 3 I need to pinpoint here where the mecha and their fighting scene, its art plus animation style is completely similar to Gainax ‘s TTGL ..

normally BONES animation trademark doesn’t really change much since Eureka 7 including their characters design but this time I’m truly impressed with it .. in addition, the original series made by BONES are always related to a deep characters development [ Xamd ] and I can expecting this will come eventually, no need to mention the obviously hinted romance and mayhaps a triangle love [ ? ] soon ..

It’s a pinch ! - Takuto

MM! [Quick Impression]

2010-10-23T17:00:00.001+08:00

Anime Production : Xebec
Genres : comedy, ecchi, romance
Approval : 4/5

The title itself gives me a weird feeling about this series, I dunno why it was named double M but I can understand though the meaning behind it .. don’t judge book by its cover, I’d say half of it were true, still, it only happened in the first episode which I found it kind of repetitive especially about the torture thingy on the main lead thus it’s hard to believe is there any direction this series will lead to, and ofc it’s far from any characters growth .. but after watching the next 2 episodes, the true color of MM! was exposed, the revelation about more detailed of every characters with their various personality complex where I’d call it unique instead of weird .. and thus make it one of the main stand point comedy of this series aside from covering Tarou masochist sickness ..

well despite of his annoying masochist sickness, he’s not a total loser, this is proven by how he stands up protecting Yuuno’s smile, and also against the root of her androphobia [ Tarou x Yuuno, approved !! ] .. one can relates Yuuno’s sickness with Inami’s [ Working! ] but the origin of it was in a different level [ including their moe level ] showing that there’s a deep character development involved and not only centered on the funny side alone ..

give a credit when its due, Xebec done it again, it’s hard to believe MM! were made by them if compared to their previous LN adaptation, LxB which is I find it kind of half assed made .. they may improved a bit but it is still to far to catch up with the likes of AIC or JCStaff .. nonetheless, the picks of the VA lineup isn’t bad too such as Jun Fukuyama and the newly raise VA star, Ayana Taketatsu [ yay ] also Saori Hayami [ Ikaros, Musubi ] who are playing Yuuno’s role very nicely, i didnt notice she is the former Musubi at all ..

Hyakka Ryouran : Samurai Girls [Quick Impression]

2010-10-23T12:30:00.001+08:00

Anime Production : ARMS
Genres : action, comedy, ecchi, romance, fantasy, harem
Approval : 4/5

A girl fall from the sky is not new situation anymore in 2D world and ofc a kiss as a path to sign a contract .. I wonder why Hyakka Ryouran been treated as a ripoff of Sekirei because of that while Mahou Negima Sensei comes out with the concept more earlier ..

enough with it, Hyakka Ryouran is one of the most waited series in my list this fall due to intriguing concept which is my favorite, yup it’s a transgender, similar with Koihime Musou franchise but this time it apply to the warrior in Sengoku Era .. Most notable is Yukimura Sanada who turned out to be a loli and along with Rie Kugimiya’s voice, she become one of HR main attraction aside from Jubei who have 2 personality which is one of it are obviously another moe imouto [ fffff- ], with Aoi Yuuki as her VA, her moe level is over 9000 !! .. that aside, Muneakira’s voice is the only problem here, Daisuke Hirakawa really doesn’t fit the role well and thus it gives an awkward feeling watching a certain scene ..

I cant say much about its plot, but so far characters introduction and development fairly builds up .. regarding its animation, ARMS really executed a new kind of animation style thar which is signify to Japanese classic art style besides its characters has been moe-lization thus it suitable in this era .. however, at the certain scene, the spilled ink might be a bit too much, I can understand for the censored one though it may scored more point from that .. well I hope they’ll fix it later when they’re gonna release the BD, nonetheless I found out recently that even AT-X is not the uncensored one like everyone expected ..

The World God Only Knows [Quick Impression]

2010-10-22T21:00:00.000+08:00

Anime Production : Manglobe
Genres : comedy, romance, fantasy, harem
Approval : 4.5/5

I tend to like TWGOK manga since its first chapter, the concept is pure fresh and ofc it can be counts up into likeable series in my list .. to make it brief, Keima, the proven ‘Capturing God’ mistakenly signing a contract with devil to make a certain real girl who has been possessed fall for him .. this is an absolute disgraceful for a 2D lover, and ofc it’s hard for him to accept the job, but it’s not impossible either by applying what he has been through in dating sim game he previously played therefore he already conquered more than 10000 routes of it ..

Now 3 episodes has passed, I’m entirely satisfied with it, first-class animation although they tried to make it closer to the original design [ manga ] especially its characters but I must say that they already topped it, Elsea looks more cuter and together with Kanae Itou’s voice, BMW fulfilled !! yes, one more moe imouto was born, actually I didn’t see her this way in manga but what Manglobe has done to Elsea are beyond my expectation, great job thar .. besides, regarding Keima’s VA, I see there’s a lot of complain about it and more of them prefer Jun Fukuyama more, I thought the same too at first before watching the first episode but afterward it doesn’t matter anymore, Hiro Shimono playing Keima role isn’t half bad, I say it’s impressive that his voice fits well ..

On side note, second season has been announced IIRC after episode 1 been aired .. another nice move from production team to avoid any filler, the OP itself hinted there’s gonna be 4 routes in this season while more routes [ manga based on ] will come later in sequel and almost certainly after and after and after that [ fuck ! I cant wait for the goddess arc to come and Hakua !! ] ..

p/s: Hakua is the only tsundere in TWGOK period ..

I can see the ending ! – Katsuragi Keima

FINEST WEEKLY EYECANDY IS BACK !!

It is foreseeable that this second season is gonna come sooner or latter after Xebec leap back by releasing 6 episodes of TLR OVA .. well I’m not gonna hate the first season if not because of they crammed it with fillers plus Xebec are infamous by screwing any anime adaptation back then .. anyway, for few episodes I’ve seen, they’re doing it well by mixing up several chapters of its manga into one episode [ same case as SnO Forte ] also with a fine pace .. all characters has been re-designed and I find it a lot more cuter than before [ but ofc it still cant top Yabuki-sensei’s ] , refined made animation thus one can tell it’s Xebec trademark these day ..

I just feel so refreshing to see TLR’s girls on the screen again and it’s quite obvious Motto TLR will cover the rest of its manga from wherever it has been left out in the first season + OVA .. anyhow, Momo [ ♥ ] and Nana in moving picture is not new anymore since they already make their debuts in OVA but Celine in human form ? I just cant compromise it, they skip the important arc which are my favorite and there’s more interaction between Rito and Lala in it, obviously the most preferred pairing I’m rooting for .. one more thing I need to touch is about Motto TLR’s OP and ED, actually I’m surprised because it looks like ordinary anime OP ED, what I mean is, no pantsu shot, no swimsuit, no sexy pose [ fffff- blasphemy !! ] etc that can be considered as an ecchi series ..

Genres : comedy, fantasy, romance, harem
Approval : 4.5/5

NOT YOUR EVERYDAY TSUNDERE VAMPIRE

The title is not new for me who has been playing its VN for quite time ago and pretty well knowing the mysteries clouding around the characters .. first of all, it just rare for a VN adaptation nowadays to gain high reputation among the watcher apart from KEY’s product which is it’s promising an absolute touching or tearjerking moment .. and thus FA will be treated as a typical VN adaptation which are usually provide a lot of fanservices together with a second class plot .. regardless, FA got interesting plot, it’s the matter of how its anime production gonna visualize it on the screen, well I don’t have a doubt on feel. teamed up with ZEXCS though, maybe because feel. have done a great job on their previous works [ Da Capo series ], and now crossing my fingers and just expecting something grand piece from them ..

So far in the first 2 episodes, I’d say they’re on track, a decent start along with flawless animation, very detailed characters design quite close with VN’s and even I were impressed with it, background are beautifully constructed and feeling is alright .. and more importantly, I’ll give an extra plus point for keeping background music from its VN .. OP, I don’t know what to say but honestly I prefer VN’s more and ofc, the ED will gives you high blood pressure blows out of your nose .. tsundere, kuudere, osananajimi come with set of deredere and happy-go-lucky type, and lastly, one’s harem are not completed without loli .. now it’s a full package, time to gottca em all !!

K-ON!! Treble Haul

2010-10-19T17:00:00.000+08:00

The period of all 3 moe tournaments of 2010 has ended, to be honest I’m quite shocked of all final result, my prediction is all off mark .. Nakano Azusa triumph in J-Saimoe while Akiyama Mio with her double hauls from both ISML and K-Bestmoe, what’s more, both of them obviously is under the same title, K-ON!! .. well it’s not like they’re not well-liked but since they’re unable from getting any title last year makes me overlook them ..

seriously I’m very disappointed that Mikoto loss in ISML plus with a hugh margin on top of that .. same case for Kanade, my most favorite candidates to win the title, and even the infamous Bakemonogatari’s duo, Hitagi and Nadeko, failed in progress .. Mio double get hits me with a déjà vu feeling as Taiga owns it last year, somehow make me pissed off .. well at least Azusa were able to denied Mio from getting a treble, I’d pick Azusa over Mio anyday !!

2011 ? only one name in my mind right now, Kousaka Kirino .. ahh yes Kanade has yet to make her debut in ISML ..

MOE, PLOT AND SYNAPSE’S CONSPIRACY !!

One of the most waited anime this fall. Since it’s a sequel, nothing much can I say further about it .. well the plot is follow up from the last season where tragic incident happened to Nymph thus it making her officially joins into Tomoki’s harem .. and this time Astraea was introduced, she is no other than the blondies + nice body + baka angeloid, one of Forte’s main attraction and ofc she’s my favorite angeloid besides Hiyori [ gotta love her more if she make her debut in Forte though it’s unlikely ] .. Fukuhara Kaori [ Tsukasa, Korormo ] as her VA fit very well ..

the fun not stop there, 1st episode's OP featuring Tomoki himself offers a pure lol-tastic as hell, and ofc new OP starting in the next episode from the scene, Forte promising many event that were taken directly from manga despite it’s not 100% faithful adaptation, and for the likes of me who are from the anti-filler division, it’s still likeable after 3 episode I’ve seen .. a-and .. well actually I don’t want to spoil more but I just cant resist after seeing Chaos’s silhouette at OP scene who is undoubtedly gonna be the final boss in Forte ! .. aside from that, animation wise, one can judge animation quality by only watching its OP [ unfortunately this is not apply to all anime ] and under the name of AIC, AIC ASTA got a full credit by doing an remarkable job in this moe-luscious series ..

Edelweiss Eiden Fantasia : Revision

2010-06-10T21:00:00.000+08:00

Developers : OVERDRIVE
Platforms : Windows
Types : Visual Novel

Edelweiss Eiden Fantasia is a direct continuation of Edelweiss's bad / girlfriendless ending but this time only 2 options been offered- no other than Sakura and Rin's path, it can be choose at the beginning... additionally, they keep 'Ashberry' as its OP but this time it was sung by UR@N instead of NANA which is give it more energetic atmosphere and good impression to the series, but most of its bgm remains same as Edelweiss...

Sakura's arc : as the 2nd terms start, Kazushi and Sakura are in a good relationship, however Kazushi didn't really treats Sakura as a candidate to be his romantic partner because of her nature who are into girls and thus give the impression that she are lesbian- this fiction irritates her much eventually challenges him to makes him fall for her- as Sakura tries all she might, showing girly side of her to him, Kazushi denied it sturdily- yet deep inside both of them, love blooms... Sakura's arc is quite simple compared to others, less unrealistic stuff involved, no dramatic event occur and more into ordinary school life love story- but that makes it more interesting among all 7 arcs, more interaction between the two- Sakura is the best!

what can i say- xD

Rin's arc : Just when the 2nd terms is about to start, Rin have a wet dream, her and Kazushi, she wondered why though the reason is clear... later Kazushi being chosen as a class representative, to be more close to him, Rin volunteer herself as a vise class representative... afterward an incident happened makes Kazushi lost his dick [sure, i'm wtf big time with this] but 'it' has been replaced with an unknown talking being named Poko and later been found out by Rin... well what i expect is something more alluring relationship between those 2, yes i got it but Poko existence somewhat make it the ridiculous plot flow ever of all 7 arcs, seriously... imagine how a timid innocent girl like Rin also ranking no.1 the most wanted bride in the school talking to Kazushi's dick all the time... this is so wrong-

need assistance? xP

3rd path : this choice will be unlocked once you have completed both Sakura and Rin's arc... just a short story, it starts with Kazushi, Sakura and Rin looking out for mushroom in the forest- they intend bring it back but later decide to try it first- given that those mushroom are not poisoned, it gives a differ outcome, having delusions but still sane [in my point of view] ... and what i got- FUNKEN AWESOME THREESOME !! as the mushroom's effect fade, Kazushi confess his feeling and they going out together, yes Kazushi-Sakura-Rin, no clash, harem ending- Kazushi you lucky bastard !!

nice suggestion thar Sakura-

fact that Sakura and Rin topped Edelweiss's original heroin resulting this sequel, and what funny is- Haruka are totally been ignored and left behind by Kazushi in Rin's story but her ignorance still exist... btw there's also a quite frightening scene in Sakura's story that will make you goosebumps... the 3+1 stooges are still the same like usual... overall, ofc i'm very pleased with this sequel- Sakura's arc are finest and the best, Rin's arc might be out of track a bit but the 3rd ending filled that hole completely :D

Edelweiss : Revision

2010-06-07T23:30:00.004+08:00

Developers : OVERDRIVE
Platforms : Windows
Types : Visual Novel, Dating Sim

it takes me a whole week to finished this visual novel, firstly i picked it out of curiosity and with english translation available, it's not a bad gamble i guess... the story started with a bunch of perverted loser a.k.a. 4 stooges (including main protagonist) who are on the way to unique island- transferring into all girl school- it seems somewhat similar with Green Green, well more or less... first impression they looks like troublesome idiots, however the existence of protagonist's friend essentially made for a pure laugh, seriously entertaining- so i cant say they aren't unnecessary for the sake of comedy, well not until the plot are split up into one of those 5 routes...

the plot is somewhat interesting but it the characters that make this eroge great and hilarious... instead of magic, they're using alchemy element in this series to play crucial roles for plot progression and dramatic event that will makes you totally dumbstruck at the moment and ofc tearjerking- well not actually in par with Key's but still touching...

Haruka, Mizuki, Ran, Natsume and Mei respectively

Haruka’s arc : Haruka never met any boy at her age until Kazushi come across- that made her ignorant about boy stuff including love and sex... for this route it looks fairly simple for innocent couple development until a certain point, incident happened resulting Haruka lost her life [this is so unexpected] and Kazushi desperately into alchemist stuff to revive her-

Haruka... u_u

Mizuki’s arc : Mizuki is obviously tsundere minus the physical assaults who love swimming... her affection towards Kazushi start when he accidentally found her naked at shore- yet he mistaking her as a mermaid... unpleasant incident happen made Mizuki’s leg paralyze for the rest of her life-

Natsume’s arc : there’s a bit twist in Natsume’s arc and i find myself lost at certain point... to make it simple, she consume a philosopher stone on her way to searching for her farther in Eiden island, this eventually make her lost control- to avoid any bad incident shes been sealed but at the same time she created her own clone and stroll around the school thus she and Kazushi met-

Ran’s arc : Ran is overly obsess with money, she will charges you despite you are her boyfriend even having a sex- this sometimes make Kazushi doubting her love for him but she herself admit that she only doing it because it was him [wtf?], unlike the other arc, there's no huge tragedy happened, she just sluting herself around Kazushi and later need to choose between money of Kazushi's life-

Mei’s arc : she is a kind and hot looking teacher in the school, thus make her are perfect in everything- but behind this fact she is a homunculus created 3 years ago replaced the real Mei Ibuki who are died in accident... learning what love is- makes her body initially changing, hence it will ruins herself which is cost her life- i must say Mei's arc are the best storytelling among all 5 routes...

Bad end : this come from avoiding all girls selection- Kazushi become more desperate to losing his virginity and make decision to become a gay [lolwut]... well he's not really turn out to be one after being consults by his teacher, it end for him be a girlfriendless, that all...

overall, this is very fine eroge, with beautiful CG and nice character design despite lack of posing unlike these day, the seiyuu are fitting well too and currently i'm addicted to it's opening song, Ashberry... although i cant really score 10 but 9/10 already fair enough... i think that if you like comedy more this one wont astound you but it will deliver more than enough to keep you reading more...

spotlight more into Rin and Sakura

Addition note : from start to finish of all arc and story progression, i was thinking why in the heck Sakura and Rin didn't have their own arc !? for me, their charming and characteristic somehow greater than the main girls- Sakura happy-go-lucky feature and Rin as a timid girl, this aspect is surely required in any kind of eroge/harem- sure they are only supporting characters but later i found out that their popularity topped the main girls [i'm not alone] and get their justice for the sequel of Edelweiss, Edelweiss Eiden Fantasia (EEF) which are centered around those two- i was in the middle of Ran’s arc when i learn about this, since than i'm restraining myself to completed Edelweiss first b4 EEF...

p/s: and finally i can start EEF with ease ~

Angel Beats! : Insert Song Single 3

Title: Angel Beats! Insert Song Single 3 - Little Braver
Artist: Girls Dead Monster

Tracklisting:
1. Little Braver
2. Shine Days
3. Answer Song

- - - - - - - - - -

i suppose this should be the last GirlDeMo single featuring ‘Little Braver’ plus another 2 new song... idk but put ‘Answer Song’ aside, i think ‘Shine Days’ are much better than ‘Little Braver’... now patiently waiting for Angel Beats! Soundtrack :)

Yui in memories...

it was expected but the lost of Yui surely leave a big impact more than Iwasawa, i was never hate her since her debut, well certain people does maybe because of her overly happy-go-lucky characteristic- to each their own- furthermore i’ve tweet it before Yui and Hinata could make a great couple but to think it would end up that way, a Key way... whichever is, rest in piece Yui... u_u

Sora no Otoshimono : Chapter 39

2010-06-06T10:00:00.001+08:00

continuation from the last chapter, it revealed more further about Hiyori as a resident of Synapse- she wake up from the dream up there resulting all earthling’s memory who knew about her will get erased including Tomoki’s... kinda tragic for her because their relationship could go further after the confession + Tomoki desperate reaction...

MONTHLY DOSAGE START-

oh Nymph...

meido spree~

that's hurt

that's hurt too

pfffftttt-

Hiyori is back to claims Tomoki as his own! type Zeta angeloid?

in this chapter, more or less centered about Nymph’s jealousy toward Tomoki-Hiyori relationship in past despite Hiyori isn’t there anymore- this could made an advantage for her to secure her place in Tomoki’s heart or as Hiyori replacement at least... even team up with Ikaros, Nymph continuously failed to pleased Tomoki thus she make it more worse... but when about to giving up, she discover the last triumph card : sneak in his futon [FFFFF-] it works i think concerning Tomoki’s response, she doesn’t stop there and keep on by expressing her longing to be Tomoki’s servant and when she about to confess her feeling- enemy strikes- carve in your mind that this is Sora no Otoshimono typical anti-climax inb4 perfect cliffhanger where the one who attacking them is- no other than Hiyori herself- she’s back !! next chapter : Ikaros + Nymph + Astraea vs Hiyori ?? inb4 more deep plottwist involve...

overall, what can i say more- Sora no Otoshimono by default are enjoying and never failed to amused me... yes it’s ecchi-less this time without Tomoki’s perverted action but surely cant rid his wild imagination ~

Galaxy Angel : 1st Game Revision

2010-05-30T15:30:00.003+08:00

Developers : BROCCOLI
Platforms : Windows, PlayStation 2
Types : Dating Sim, Strategy Game

start playing this so-called galge last week, i said to myself how can i missed this one despite its translation patch has been released at the end of last year... anyway, i expect everyone know about this infamous Galaxy Angel franchise- well unlike the other adaptation series, Galaxy Angel tv series come first before galge version released and ofc it cant run from the alternate universe for both story... noticeably Takuto Meyers, he didnt make his appearance in tv series thus revised it genre, no romance and harem(duhh)... no wonder many people said the game version are better that tv series...

ok then about its plot, i must say it's quite simple and typical but interesting in certain point, the main character, Takuto being picked out of nowhere to lead a so-called special imperial force a.k.a Moon Angel Troupe to guarding the last royal blood from coup d'état forces... characters intercourse also isnt too complex and no triangle love involved, i think this is reason why the 6th Angel Chitose being added in GA sequel Moonlit Lovers, more drama and difficulties in their relationship... Milfeulle's route just decent, Ranpha's route are the best for me, Mint's route quite interesting too, Forte and Vanilla's route just ok- actually i expecting more from Vanilla's but... oh well...

The Death Star

lovey-dovey meter ♥

for its gameplay, just a usual basic multiple choices but its important to look up at all Angels to raising the love meter(Whale Report) since this also raising their fighters firepower... for space battles, not too hard actually depend on your skill and tactical plans... well at first i'm also not too used to it, just commanding all Angels charging and then observes it receiving damages... well actually can made them evades enemy missiles with ease if command them effectively but regarding the Angel's fighter are GOD LIKE especially their special power is one-hit-KO, there's no need to focus on them BUT, their battleship, Elle Ciel are freaking weak and freaking slow and always being targeted! this the only aspect were made me headdesking... overall, i'm amused with it despite the graphic isnt top notch like these day, from what i see they made an improvement in sequel...

now i'm quite eager to play the sequel, Moonlit Lovers but translation patch wont come anytime soon plus AGTH didnt work well with it... cant do anything about it but i expect Moonlit Lovers are more creative after watching Chitose's 1st stage fight sequences + more daring scene from Milfeulle, Ranpha and Vanilla xD

p/s: i once mistaken Ranpha as Asuka long ago xP

Sengoku Basara 2 [official site]
well honestly i wonder if they're gonna apply what they've done in season 1 which is: 1st episode = AWESOME, 2nd episode = GREAT, 3rd Episode = ohh and so on... the impact decrease in further episode like losing idea to pulled something grand- hope this is not disappoint

Shiki [official site]
comparing the illustration from manga and PV, i'm blow'd... DEEN as its anime production i cant expect more from them anymore after they screwed up Umineko big time... it's gonna be either fail or success, no average, no mid tier etc-

Nurarihyon no Mago [official site]
as a manga reader myself the story is absorbing, yakuza + youkai concept is not ur everyday series, and ofc another reason why this is worth to follow is well named voice actor involving in...

The Legend of The Legendary Heroes [official site]
the title seems a bit shounen-ish, not like i care much about it... adventure fantasy are welcomed in my watchlist :)

Amagami SS [official site]
the same creator of Kimikiss but since its anime production are different, i expect they arent gonna splitting the main dude- dividing harem is less fun...

already pre-ordered this, despite it's quite pricey compare to another 1/8 class, i must say it's worth it- those falling stationeries + her expression are totally well made, and there's 2nd kit, she's holding stapler and normal skirt- well i doubt i'll use it later because the 1st one is already win enough... actually i'm glad didnt pre-ordering Kotobukia's before or i'll regret it now lol... and now just need to wait for them to open PO for Nadeko anytime soon :D

Mayoi Neko Overrun! : Chapter 5

2010-05-13T22:00:00.002+08:00

[ WARNING !! FAPPING MATERIAL PIC AHEAD ]

aright, it's the latest chapter of Mayoi Neko Overrun! since i havent done any manga review since To-Love-Ru end, this is a good re-start... really tempting one, as expected from Yabuki-sensei awesomely adorable art especially for this chapter which is full of eyecandy, the swimsuits spree !!

MONTHLY DOSAGE START-

moeoverload warning !! i... just... can't... resist... this... /dies...

tsun-alert !! oh you~

SNAPPED !! something like this is bound to happen eventually- *heavynosebleedz*

NOOOOOUUUUUUuuu!!!111oneoneone ~

aright, Takumi just won a ticket to hell, you lucky bastart !!

planing something behind this freeeking-awesomely-cute-innocent-smile ?! xD

okey dokey, your turns will come sooner or later and i'm very looking forward to it ;3

unlike MNO! anime in episode 4, this time Chise inviting all of her club member of 'Stray Cats Association' to her private beach... well Otome and Kanae technically is not a member but maybe they are automatically become one since the operation 'find the kitty owner' in last chapter... well it's obvious that Chise real intention's to spend the rest of summer break with Takumi, Fumino reaction is typically 'ah as expected' and for Nozomi, deadpan like always and yet actively bold towards him... afterward, Kaho joining in- it's hard to tell what actually in her head, well not really a big deal at the moment... to fast forward, Ieyasu get drowning and Takumi saves him but he get drowning instead and Nozomi come saves the day, and also ALMOST CPR'd him *sigh relief*... alright, while they're all arguing to rape his first kiss- Kaho take a step ahead ! [FFFFFF-] aside for Fumino and Chise, i'd love to see Nozomi's out of her character reaction, jealousy, mad or mayhaps dishearten... but maybe it's not the time yet to see all of that... may this is the reason why i like her as why Yami is my first choice b4 ;3 ... to see Kanae truly enjoying this, i cant wait for her flag being triggered too lol~

overall, i must say this is really an enjoying chapter, despite it's sub-plot or maybe there's no storyline to begin with- when it comes about Yabuki-sensei's art all those trivial matters will be ignored, deja vu indeed...

MOE OTAKU IMOUTO IN DA HOUSE GET !!

at first i read the title before, i just 'what the funken with this long title...'- it also means "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute"... that alone is enough for me to read it's manga plus i find it a bit similar concept with "Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu" in more normal way but more tempting in case wincest word popup in mind... fair enough, everyone was expecting this will come, light novel which is got an manga adaptation can be considered a well-liked and it just a matter of time before anime get like how i foresee on "Hidan no Aria"...

"Ore no Imouto" to make it short, its anime adaptation has been announced few days ago, follow up by the voice cast which is taken as the same seiyuu from its drama CD... the anime production who work on this project also has been publicized and lastly official site launched- for Ayana a.k.a.

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'...

1. TETHE'ALLA -Tai no Kodomotachi-
2. Inori no Kanata
3. Akakakushi
4. Inori no Kanata -instrumental-

- - - - - - - - - -

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...

Asobi ni Iku yo! : This Summer

2010-04-28T01:11:00.002+08:00

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

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...

K-ON!! : OP & ED Singles

Tracklisting:
1. Listen!!
2. Our MAGIC
3. Listen!! (instrumental)
4. Our MAGIC (instrumental)

- - - - - - - - - -

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

2010-04-27T14:30:00.002+08:00

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-

Angel Beats! : Insert Song Single

Title: Angel Beats! Insert Song Single - Crow Song
Artist: Girls Dead Monster

Tracklisting:
1. Crow Song
2. Alchemy
3. My Song

- - - - - - - - - -

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

Tracklisting:
1. Baptize

4. call my name (instrumental)

- - - - - - - - - -

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

2010-04-20T18:30:00.004+08:00

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

2010-04-19T00:05:00.005+08:00

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]

2010-04-18T13:30:00.003+08:00

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

- - - - - - - - - -

Giant Killing
Producers : Studio DEEN
Approval : 3/5

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

- - - - - - - - - -

Senkou no Night Raid
Producers : A-1 Pictures Inc.
Approval : 4/5

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-

- - - - - - - - - -

Working!!
Producers : A-1 Pictures Inc.
Approval : 4/5

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 !!

2010-04-08T16:00:00.006+08:00

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

2010-04-06T17:00:00.003+08:00

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]

2010-04-05T02:00:00.007+08:00

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 ; )

- - - - - - - - - -

B Gata H Kei
Producers : Hal Film Maker
Approval : 2.5/5

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...

- - - - - - - - - -

Heroman
Producers : Bones
Approval : 3/5

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...

- - - - - - - - - -

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
Producers : Marvelous Entertainment, Artland
Approval : 4.5/5

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...

- - - - - - - - - -

Ikkitousen - Xtreme Xecutor
Producers : ARMS
Approval : 3/5

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...

- - - - - - - - - -

Shin Koihime†Musou ~Otome Tairan~
Producers : Dogakobo
Approval : 4/5

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 :)

i wont say much coz many already notice that this awesome zombie franchise is getting animated by Madhouse Studios with its recent and notably works, Needless... suit self serving with some- well certainly a lot of gore, bloodlust etc- and boobs included! i say it will be broadcast next winter!

well the PV at the official site, youtube only have camcord so i dont bother put it here... it's looking good, at first i thought it would be mess up when i've learn that the characters designer is the same person as Toradora's, after watch the PV it doesnt matter anymore :P

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girs : Trailer

2010-03-28T00:30:00.001+08:00

yeah i just noticed the official site is up to date and were include its trailer as well! i upload it for more convenience... all i can say is the animation style looks kind of old school as well its quality, somehow give me Tenjou Tenge vibes but i believe it will improve during TV broadcasting later... bishoujou fall naked from the sky- damn tempting yet exciting xD

airing in this summer would be great bonus same time as Sekirei, mayhaps along with High School of the Dead too... i know it wouldn't happen, just wishing ~ :P

light novel official site: http://hyakka-ryoran.net/index.php
anime official site: http://www.hyakka-ryoran.tv

for such a long time waiting and finally the light novel Hyakka Ryōran Samurai Girls get an anime adaptation!... actually i've eying on this one for quite a long time since its concept are quite similar with Koihime Musou / Ikkitousen where the warriors in sengoku period are being altered as a girl, as an example loli Yukimura Sanada (white swimsuit getup ftw!)... i must say it was more into Sekirei conception as well such as kissing as a pact to claimed and boosts the girls power !! and obviously this series got the vibes of harem-

as soon as the green-lit has been announced, for heaven sake, i really dont want neither SHAFT nor XEBEC to takeover this project, obvious reason ofc... and today i've learn that the same animation production as Elfen Lied / Ikkitousen / Queen's Blade who working for this series... heh what a bonus :D

Alter launched its figure project last year

Spring 2010 : Huntlist

source: chartfag

13 candidates has been choose, competing to escapes from 'watch then kill it with fire' season- hajimeru yo ~

Ikkitousen: Xtreme Xecutor
well the 4th season of Ikkitousen, for one who watch a straight 3 season wont gonna miss this... and yeah! as long as there's more boobs + pantsu, i won't complain too much :P

Heroman
not a fan of BONES though, i shall give a try ~

Shin Koihime†Musou ~Otome Tairan~
2nd season lead to a train wreck ending but since the 3rd season being introduced later, its forgivable... i dont give a damn about Kazuto anymore, just show your self if you are there and if not, just die!

B Gata H Kei
only its summary already give a same vibes as Chu-Bra! though it's more bold at any way...

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
i've read its manga, yeah and i still read it despite shoujo are clearly not my cup of tea... concept was great i assure that, but the sub-plot is started to drag and lost its direction, main plot sunk most of time... dunno if JC Staff gonna overhauled it...

Angel Beats!
for the most anticipating anime in this spring, i rather pick Angel Beats over K-ON!! anyday, anytime, anywhere ~ as the same author as Kanon, Air and Clannad, i doubt there's any series will stand the same level as AB! mark my words! ~ i just cant wait for 'Girls Dead Monster' performance more than 'After School Teatime' this spring :D

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
the lead seem badass and at the same time it smell like harem as well, i definitely gonna try this... same vibes as Needless :3

Working!
watched the pre-release b4, its concept has yet to catch my interest, more episodes for more judgment... loli with boobs is cheating indeed ;P

Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan
bishounen game adaptation O_o ... owh well 2 or 3 episodes for final verdict, dropped in instant if yaoi-ish spotted...

Arakawa Under the Bridge
technically SHAFT already screwed up DitVB with their shinbo style, not all series works with that DUHH especially an action kind manga adaptation, it feel like they just trolling the viewers... and guess what, Arakawa might be the 2nd DitVB if they keep it that way...

Senkou no Night Raid
have less informant about this franchise but after seeing the preview, i wont gonna miss this :3

Mayoi Neko Overrun!
typical harem, typical tsundere and more typical of its kind... instead of eroge adaptation which is over 50% of its plot are filler, and later self destruct... i still have faith on light novel adaptation by far... more important, it's done by AIC ;D

K-ON!!
more moeblob, not like i hate it but KyoAni need to spare some time on Haruhi too, damn Endless Eight!!

does the list of these girls make him a lucky bastard?

it has been awhile i didnt post anything, well i'll make this a quick glimpse about 'The World God Only Knows' recent arc (chapter 81-88)... very interesting i must say, Keima-Yui switch body and makes him develop more passion into the body of the girl even falling deeper when hooked onto bishounen games (LOL)... however, its instructed him to shouldered the role of heroin and ends it with wonderfully as shoujo-ending-like ;D ... ALL HAIL CAPTURING GOD!!!

the most awesome and super epic movie in 2009 [have yet to watch Eva 2.0], that Lagann-hen is, i couldnt find a better word to describe it... despite a few change has been made, it doesnt bother the main plot much and i think it's necessary or it'll be a recap of the TV series... more Simon x Nia, new mecha, the extended time for the final battles also the fistfight between Simon and the anti-spiral, man i couldnt get enough of this... and not to forget the manly tears :3

from the same creator of Bakemonogatari so i expect something good on this one, well this series might get bad rating due to its period of chatter, well yeah, fits it duration... not enough action indeed but it was acceptable which to understand the dialogue provided as the backstory of its world... people can accept Bakemonogatari’s tons of word but not this, what a bias, toward the production what i mean... nevertheless, great voice acting so does its bgm, quite unique characters design but still like it... all i can say is this series might not for everyone though, inevitable fact :3 btw, cant wait for its ED single by Yousei Teikoku \o/

[Part 1] Internasional Saimoe League 2010

2010-01-23T23:00:00.000+08:00

and so the grouping for Preliminary Period has been updated, a 3 sided clash for 4 round in 1st phase... ISML surely come with fancy system this year, it's not like i complain though but i think it's much better than last year's...

[site]

Mio will definitely dominated Group 1 for sure so does Hitagi in Group 2... other groups is predicable as well unless Saki fag still strong like how they rulez Japanese Saimoe last year... Group 8 claimed to be the group of death, Sawako-Beato-Nymph-Yomi D: ... anyway Horo-Yami and Ange-Mikoto in the same group? щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

Kowarekake no Orgol OVA

2010-01-20T01:45:00.000+08:00

Summary:

The story centers around Keiichiro, a young musician. One rainy day, he takes shelter in an old shrine. There he notices a little girl, sitting on a chair, surrounded by garbage, she herself is but trash – an android that had been thrown away. Something in Keiichiro tells him to take her with him. After going to the android repair shop, he’s told that she will never function again... -Animetake-

after a freaking two years since its first demo, the subs is finally here- almost 30 minutes long OVA i'm totally touched with the ending, it has been awhile i feel like this since i watched 'Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu' and 'Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora' in short series category- yes, this is a doujin anime, illustration by POP who works on Moetan... a beautiful animation nevertheless plus sort of a wise way how the story flows, point up how Flower spend her blissful time daily till her last moment u_u amazing and fitting ED song as well... and i'm absolutely recommended this OVA to all people who stumbles upon this humble blog...

Flower ish moe! *omochiakeri-mode activated*

Winter Series 09/10: Impression and Rant

2010-01-17T21:20:00.000+08:00

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
Producers : Silver Link
Approval : 4.5/5

I'M SO FUNKEN GHAY OVER HIDEYOSHI!

quite funny and interesting concept thar- well i didnt follow its original story neither light novel nor manga, so i enjoy any kind of perception either it's filler or not... whats more, Mizuki's appearance are very identical with Louise [Zero no Tsukaima] in fact their chest and personality very contradict to each other and i already ghay over Hideyoshi~... character design actually seem typical, however the notion are quite original with a self miniature summon being into a skirmish clash between the class... anyways, we always sees the male lead being dense and thick head but this one a total idiot, fairly exclusive isnt it? generic OP and a funken ghay ED though i dont really hate it :P

- - - - - - - - - -

Chu-Bra!!
Producers : ZEXCS
Approval : 2.5/5

UNDERWEAR SPECIALIST IN MAKING

i'm not expecting much from this series since there isn’t any major plot involved and i just watch it for the lulz like how i treat Queen's Blade b4, 1st episode doesnt give me any impact because massive ecchi stuff without male lead is pointless for me at least- though girl obsession toward underwear are quite rare to see... for the time being this one still give me enjoyment to watch more, just dont kill the joy later... i must say that Minorin as Nayu works out very well :3

- - - - - - - - - -

Dance in the Vampire Bund
Producers : SHAFT
Approval : 4.5/5 [excluding episode 1]

ANOTHER LOLI VAMPIRE UNDER YOUR BED

episode 1 left me in despair! it was so funken wrong at any direction, with more than 10 minutes stuffing with unnecessary shit, oh please i'm not watching Vampire Bund made by SHAFT in first place for that crap- hoping for a more exciting kick-off but... well even the 2nd episode still far from manga, it's acceptable, the overhauled plot seem fine for me, just dont watch episode 1, it does not exist!... for animation style, SHAFT-wise nevertheless :3 moderately decent OP and ED, isn’t too bad but not great either...

- - - - - - - - - -

Durarara!!
Producers : Brains Base
Approval : 4/5

HEADLESS RIDER WIF BOOBS

firstly i thought this one are by Bones since the animation style quite alike but i'm wrong... i still new with Durarara's world, resolve around trendy and unique people and highlighting their viewpoint somehow reminds me 'Vintage Point' movie... i cant say much more than that for the 1st 2 episode but each character get enough time for a short introduction in progress... so far the headless rider quite intriguing me with boobs [?] :P

- - - - - - - - - -

Hanamaru Youchien
Producers : Gainax
Approval : 3.5/5

I R PEDO

cute and cute and cute [overload warning!], that’s all i can describe from episode 1 plus a heartwarming comedy isn’t really bad for your health though actually i’m surprised this one are from Gainax... anyways this is another series i watch it for the lulz, still such an appealing concept to brings a male teacher in kindergarten but glad [NOT] this is not another Kodomo no Jikan, pedo-feast...

- - - - - - - - - -

Ladies versus Butlers!
Producers : XEBEC
Approval : 3.5/5

DRILLS THROUGH THE HEAVEN

very familiar with character design plus its animation style [Kanokon?] despite this one are from Xebec, yeah i’m not fond with this studio... absolutely... and wtf with the freaking huge hair drill?... it’s not really a fresh one for story and concept i’d say, a lady vs butler, i’ve see that before Hina vs Hayate though each premise are obviously different... OP and ED also doesn’t tempt me much like another standard harem series, but in fact i don’t hav any guts to dropped this series caugh*nipplez- xP

- - - - - - - - - -

Omamori Himari
Producers : ZEXCS
Approval : 5/5

NOT NYAN KOI RIP-OFF PERIOD. YET ANOTHER LUCKY BASTARD NEED TO DIE!

the most wanted manga to anime adaptation this year is here! episode 1 faithfully with original story though it has a bit satisfactory changing, Kuesu-Liz intro... and it seems like they already skip chapter 4 and more likely they’ll skip another short arc in future... for characters design i dont care much about Himari and Kuesu, they looks great though i still prefer Marta Milan's art, Rinko, i dont give a dam since i dont like her... bgm-wise and obviously likeable typical OP and ED song... Koshimizu Ami as Himari's voice cast surely fitting very well with her classical Japanese speech, Horo-like to make it obvious :3 ... Rinko = Nymph nuff said, for Shizuku... for gawd sake why not Fukuen Misato [Yami]!!?? щ(ﾟДﾟщ)

- - - - - - - - - -

Ookami Kakushi
Producers : AIC
Approval : 4.5/5

ANOTHER BLOOD FEAST BEGIN

another fascinating series this winter, as it story progress gives me Higurashi vibes in fact both series come from the same creator, Ryukishi07 plus Peach-Pit who works on the characters design pulls up a new mixed moe plus thriller fragrant and executed well by AIC production... for me, the first episode proven its has potential to be a great series, but in the second episode, my expectation decreased... plot remains same, mediocre though its still early to judges more... OP and ED is wonderful however :3

- - - - - - - - - -

Seikon no Qwaser
Producers : Hoods Entertainment
Approval : 4.5/5

BOOBS AND BOOBS AND BOOBS AND-

the censorship is completely ridiculous and frustrated, i wont mind fog etc but this one is totally no-no, but recently they just released the uncensored version... yeah my head blows, totally explicit content ! on the other hand, the animation are quite beautiful so does its characters design, great bgm, fitting seiyuu it just i greatly surprised Aki Toyosaki role in this series :P ... plot, i wont say much it still badass as manga...

- - - - - - - - - -

So・Ra・No・Wo・To
Producers : A-1 Pictures Inc.
Approval : 3/5

K-ON! RIP-OFF NO[?]

The pace is... bedtime-story-like plus i’m not good to deal with this kind of anime honestly... well yes, the characters design are very familiar no matter what, i think it’s already become a fad because before this Seiken no Blacksmith- but this one looks more like a rip-off of K-ON! Yui - not good playing guitar to begin with / Kanata - suck blowing trumpet... i wont say about the rest, see it yourself... however with a beautiful setting plus an interesting concept, i’ll struggles for another few episodes plus this is Juri Aikawa debut as Kanata, will she be another Aki Toyosaki? :3

To Love-Ru: Chapter 162.5 [After Story]

2010-01-14T17:15:00.003+08:00

a storm without wind! that's how this chapter approached- eventhough its quite short, scratch that! a full color plus full of eyecandy is enough for me, but DO WANT MOAR!!!

Poll Result: To-Love-Ru contest

2010-01-02T16:00:00.002+08:00

i've closed the poll yesterday, well i'd closed it last month but too busy with stuff :P... anyway with the total 454 votes, the champ is clear, firstly i kinda surprised because i thought either Yami or Yui will win this but surely cant underestimate Lala supporters... the 4th place is obvious, this is not To-Love-Ru if Mikan are not there while 5th place owns by Momo, her late anime debut for sure is a huge step ahead... for the 6th place, heh Riko beat Haruna, trap ftw~ the rest no need to be mention, they all share quite same amount of votes except Risa without any vote...

well i'll think about the next poll title, not sure if its about characters or else but i wont start it in this short period... :3

dont mess with Momo

Best Anime 2009: Gaia Awards [+ updates]

2010-01-01T23:00:00.005+08:00

Best Winter 2009 Anime: Kurokami
Honorable Mentions: Minami-ke -Okaeri- / Tower of Druaga -The Sword of Uruk-

i kinda forgot what anime i've watch back then... after do some homework, most of them is action kind, Regios, Shikabane, Yoichi... nevertheless, Kurokami pwnd more, the advancing from street battle to godlike clash (Utawa anyone?) plus i cant discard the lulz-ness of Minami-ke :3

Best Spring 2009 Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Honorable Mentions: Phantom -Requiem for the Phantom- / Saki

the most overrating season of 2009 i'd say, full of awesome anime and K-ON! is one of them, well it's KyoAni that why... for me K-ON! was moe and fun but i think Saki is much better... Basquash come with unique and lulz concept along with nice song (Macross Frontier nuff said), Sengoku Basara's awesome starter but decline later on... also Hayate no Gotoku!!, Tears to Tiara, Senjou no Valkyria and many more but too bad the overhauled FMA blow the other series away and at least Phantom deserve some credit here :3

Best Summer 2009 Anime: Bakemonogatari
Honorable Mentions: Needless / Spice and Wolf II

for summer... a fucked up version of Umineko truly a huge letdown, Princess Lover! good starting point but the rest are mediocre and worsen... still have some fun series to watch like Taishou, Juden-chan and Yokuwakaru-... despite being the only summer series has yet to end, Bakemonogatari deserve this title... Horo sequel didnt appealing much since i'm bad at business and Needless fucked up ending ruined it all!

Best Fall 2009 Anime: Darker than Black -Gemini of the Falling Star-
Honorable Mentions: Sora no Otoshimono / Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

a closing curtain of 2009 also harem season in this year... Darker than Black back with Hei claiming Suou in his possession [j/k]... the conclusion of Asura Cryin' was nice but the studio who work on it doesnt really care about how fugly the animation is... harem-fest as Seitokai, Nyan Koi!, 11eyes and Kampfer... not to forget the lulz of Otoshimono, its manga are awesome for real while anime is not bad either as a mix up version for intermission inb4 2nd season [FUCK YEAH ASTRAEA]... i'm not into shoujo much so put Todoke aside... Railgun and Blacksmith, both are at the same level but i'd pick Mikoto over Lisa :P

Best Ending: Darker than Black -Gemini of the Falling Star-

The Most Underrated 2009 Anime: Phantom -Requiem of Phantom-
Honorable Mentions: Letter Bee

obvious overrated anime is obvious... K-ON! based on KyoAni factor, Saki based on Anime Saimoe Tournament, Bakemonogatari based on Hitagi, Umineko based on visual novel awesomeness but failed hard, and Kimi no Todoke recently based on Sadako and shoujo adaptation factor like how i saw in Ouran b4... for underrated i cant tell much how underrated it is but Phantom and Letter Bee deserve some attention :3

Special Awards: THE MOST FUCKED UP EPISODE/ARC
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu - Endless Eight

owh please KyoAni! dont lowered yourself with the same level of Xebex (and DEEN recently) who already screwed up 2 of my favorite manga! Endless Eight is a nice arc to begin with but what the point to repeated it all over again for 8 times! they better not fuck up with 'Disappearance' Movie!

p/s: well it's all about my personal pick/rant, no big deal :3

Weiss Survive: Ridiculous Card Battle ever

2009-12-10T02:22:00.001+08:00

Title: Weiss Survive / Weiss Survive R (sequel)
Producers: TBS
Genres: Comedy, Ecchi

stumble upon a short anime called Weiss Survive and took me less than one hour to completed it... well card battle is not really my type but this one more into humor instead, though it's not that funny as another epic comedy but still enjoyable and worth time for at least 3 minutes per episode :3 ... 16 total episodes followed by the sequel titled Weiss Survive R with currently 1 episode has been released and hey, i saw Nanoha's deck :P

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

2009-12-06T04:30:00.001+08:00

Title: Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2
Platforms: PS3, XBox360, PC
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Infinity Ward
Rates: 10/10

i dont remember when is the last time i played FPS game but it surely quite long time, by skipping 'COD: World at War' for some reason, Modern Warfare 2 is utterly awesome, graphic wise, more new weapon and an addition for extra gameplays (climbing, surfing etc)... not to mention an intense storyline is the big factor why i like it since the 1st Modern Warfare, too bad i feel like the campaign mode is too short, i've been mention that COD: MW famous because of it's multiplayer though i never tried it before...

nonetheless, manage to finished all missions with ease though the only mission i fuck-up so much time is 'Enemy of My Enemy', the last part when Roach and Ghost escaping from massive enemy scramble, die many time yet at the end he still get killed... WTF so much, srsly pissing me off Dx

more plus point, it just too great when they brings up Captain Price back and tagging him with Soap which is currently an awe-inspiring man he become after 5 years... furthermore, shooting civilian mission, USA being attacked, battlefield at the White House, all things are splendidly made... USA lost once and then claims back without expand the story for counter-attack towards Russia ultimately response for the 3rd installation of Modern Warfare and ofc a big DO WANT!

The Lulz of Caturday: The Journey to PC Fair

2009-12-06T04:00:00.001+08:00

kinda tired today, i went to my friend house this morning in intention to inviting him to PC-Fair, the event where many stores are open to sell the 1st-hand computer related gadgets and ofc it's quite famous event among Malaysia people... but i ends up playing game and eventually hook with it, loosing the real purpose because of 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' infront my eyes for the next 5 hours straight by completing all missions xP ... well, i still go latterly...

nothing much can be expected in PC-Fair, all new gadgets is awesome indeed but ur wallet need to be awesome as well... i kind of enjoying myself at sound-system section, turned up all the speakers volume for the lulz... furthermore, the sexy gurls is everywhere but they doesnt pulled my interest much, dunno about Comic Fiesta for the next few weeks though...

spending about 2 hours there, experienced tuna-sardin-in-can-like, i manage to filled my sole reason went there, a 1TB ext HDD: WD My Book Essential cost about 300 bucks at my service for now on... more than that, Streamyx new promotion do attached me as well, upgrading 1Mb into 2Mb without additional cost for the next 4 months :D ... it's not like i didnt satisfy with the current one but the advertising is just too tempting xD

end of story, i didnt take any picture or not even want it... looking forward for the upcoming CF, i still not sure if i can attends it since there's another event i need to go, my childhood friend is getting married at the same day as CF running u_u

Mayoi Neko Overrun!: Fills To-Love-Ru empty seat?

2009-12-03T02:15:00.003+08:00

UPCOMING MOE-LUSCIOUS WORKS

Mayoi Neko Overrun! originally a light novel and now is confirmed that Yabuki Kentaro the mangaka of the infamous To-Love-Ru and Black Cat is entrusted for it's manga adaptation... great news i'd say since To-Love-Ru sudden ending leave me in despair for the whole month u_u ... maybe the title are quite uncommon for me, but the point is, Yabuki-sensei awesome artworks!

just in case, anime adaptation is confirmed as well and all i hope is it will be based on Yabuki's art style, and for god sake please no more from XEBEX! they screwed up To-Love-Ru too much, the worst production when it come manga to anime alteration like Pandora Hearts as another example...

Osananajimi wa Daitouryou: My Girlfriend is the President [Part 2]

2009-12-03T02:00:00.002+08:00

TEMPTING NEE-CHAN GET

Miyoshi Ran or being called Ran-nee of all people... Jun first crush also his childhood friend as well like Yuki, he confessed to Ran before 'Yuki become the president' event but get rejected eventually and under the same massive brainwash disorder, she become the Chief of Staff in the new United States of Nippon... a year older than Jun, ofc a sempai by default and her personality are quite predictable, always teasing Jun by using their age different or onee-san term as an excused despite she really like him... back-pressed-breast toward the lucky bastard Jun is her well known trademark and cooking is her another specialty caugh*naked-apron ftw~

she is also under disguise of a self-proclaimed mahou shoujo 'Feather Moon' who helped Jun from being assassinated by unknown armed meido also in disguise, Kuon... just in case Kuon only wears black glasses and her hair being tied up yet no one recognize her, typical stuff is typical... well later it been revealed that Ran is also an alien same kind with Kuon also the reason she have magical power...

other words, this route drops the biggest hammer-impact onto Yuki when Jun-Ran relationship are exposed, i cant helped myself for pitying her, so does Ell... owh if only harem route do exist u_u ... well at least Jun got panda father-in-law in this course lol

cosplay contest?

fuuuuu~

THE CENTER OF ANECDOTE

it being conceal that Jun existence himself resolve the appearance of an alien around him, one side to protected him and one with the opposite motive besides of the real meaning behind his superhuman power get... but for sure, Remi is annoying like always

DISCARD THOSE 'FIRST COME FIRST SERVE' TERMS!

the 1st route i've go for is Irina's route... dunno why but i'm surely confident when first started this eroge, i'll go for Yuki's route but eventually after Irina has been introduced, i got mixed feeling for that... fuuu~

what so great about her? Irina Vladimirovna Putina, nicknamed Pu-chin is very interesting character i've seen so far and quite original personality she got compare to another typical eroge/harem characters etc... firstly i didnt notice much but later i found out that she is the altered version of [Vladimir Putin] even become one of [sankakucomplex] topic roflmao... i dont care since i love Koihime Musou :P

Irina is a genuine Rusia President unlike Yuki (alien massive brainwash plot), but later it reveals that she is a creation of another alien called 'Guardian' for the purpose to fill up Rusia president role... accompany by a very-convenience-meido, Kuon who has her real mission to be alongside Irina though her loyalty overcome it later... Irina have a crush on Jun when he save her from terrorist bomber and clearly show her tempting side and later when she found out Jun real face i.e. pervert side... she begin to restrain herself towards Jun and frequently used her harisen on him...

once Irina rush into dere period, she become quite daring i'd say especially after she and Jun become a couple and so on... you wont get her trademark slaps with harisen anymore, the last but not least... even more funny when Yuki request an affair with Jun infront Irina... well various thing happened, Yuki and Irina become quite a close friend...

after all assorted stuff (Yuki as a president) and incident revert back to normal, only Jun and Irina can still remember those uprising stuff while Yuki and the other has been brainwashed... in order to live as a normal girls, Irina resign as a president and back to Jun, start over again to befriend with Yuki...

SHORT FIRST IMPRESSION

i barely into eroge these day since quite busy with many stuff, so cant carry out any comparison with another recent eroge but what i can say is 'Osananajimi wa Daitouryou' has it own attraction, obviously an original concept, quite decent comedy yet enjoyable and typical eroge bgm executed, but more importantly, the characters come with various clothes ultimately fulfiled one of moe factor entirely for one character...

finally after long wait, it's here at last, one of my favorite opening song in this autumn uploaded by LonE... an energetic song and i'd say Rekka Katakiri is Koihime Musou OP trademark since the first KM visual novel like how KOTOKO related to Hayate no Gotoku ;D

and so i just added ED single, fitting with chibi premise, this one is made my day as well :D ... it will be more convenience if they included the picture comes from scene where Aisha, Touka and the others dressing/cosplaying at TV ED for it's calendar...

Umineko Fan-made Animation

2009-11-13T14:00:00.001+08:00

Umineko visual novel reader should aware enough that DEEN is trolling around with anime series, too much unsatisfied factor especially a bullet-train pace as a result, forsaking a certain crucial scene in case they're trying to squeezes the whole first 3 arcs (Legend, Turn, Banquet) in 6 episode... dont know about Alliance since it still on aired but so far the pacing are still acceptable, for me at least...

well i rant enough but the priority of this post is these 2 fan-made moving picture that worth enough to be highlight... huge spoiler warning for the second video

more accurate situation for Beato vs Virgilia in Banquet... well compared to DEEN's, utterly tedious!

final scene in Alliance, they deserve more than credit for making this awesome... it just a matter of time DEEN, inb4 moar barrelrages

Cavalier of the Abyss: Earliest Impression

2009-11-12T00:12:00.002+08:00

Jae's daughter? approved!

Title: Cavalier of the Abyss
Artist: JUDER
Author: GA On-Bi
Genre: Action, Ecchi, Fantasy, Romance
Rates: 8/10 (till chapter 9)

Summary:

An indirect sequel of Immortal Regis happened more than a decade after Immortal Regis event. Jae Hyuk now is a new Regis (king) of Chaos called Nex in task to spreads his reign all over place which is brings more enemy onto him in either political or revenge purpose.

FUUUUU~! I FEEL BETRAYED... NOT!... YET?

firstly, i was a bit disappointed when find out that Cavalier of the Abyss (CotA) is not direct sequel of Immortal Regis (IR) with a new main character etc and the period might be plusminus 20 years after the incident in IR... well i still can accept that at least, but when it revealed that Jae turns out to be an antagonist (it seem like that), that was totally a huge letdown, more hurt when seeing Serin being sealed away by Jae and just keep her as a blood-bank... though the only hint that why he hates her is the her betrayal in IR before or it must be something new after that...

Serin confirmed!

no wonder why some (cant tell minority or the opposite) of IR fans hate this sequel... but still, for me it's just too early to make the final judgment plus i still have faith on them especially the 5-star improvement on it's art is more than enough satisfaction and not to forget the characters design, also thus the new inspiration on it concept by trying to pull something unusual and out of the typical-shounen-cycle, cliche or something like that...

Depore confirmed!

anyways, cant expects something when it comes about manhwa... both author and artist can makes IR that awesome, why not CotA? new characters isnt bad either, ofc Yuan is the main target at the moment though Xix (or whatever they called him, not consistent duh) a bit cocky compare to Jae before... and trivially brings in an adult Serin and an unchanged (physically) Depore... more and more new characters in the whole 9 chapters with more unfilled holes, particularly after Serin's reaction when Xix's heart being pulled out is the question than concerned me most... what i can do for now is just crossing my fingers and waiting for more translated chapters by ManWhore-Scans...

this is obviously another one of my favorite Umineko album song, it's a worth for those who are collecting it the Umineko awesomeness music, no objection... in fact DisCode is the ending song which is been played specially in Episode 4(Alliance) sung by Kanae Sakura, it leaves me a big impact how they ends it, appropriate and perfect with the situation thus the reason i like it... hopefully DEEN will re-used DisCode in anime, yeah just hoping it ;3

To Love-Ru OVA vol.4: Momo & Nana debuts

2009-11-10T22:00:00.003+08:00

Title: To-LOVE-Ru OVA 2
Producers: XEBEC
Genres: Comedy, Ecchi, Romance, Sci-Fi, Harem

HOLY SHIT! THE TWINS IS HERE!!!

well the only things that pulled my interest in this OVA is Momo and Nana debut, yeah especially Momo which is her voice caster is... Aki Toyosaki!!! i never expecting this before because it's totally contradict for a Momo-personalities-like when it comes about tempting-modes, god know... well at least i like it xP

others like animation, character design etc etc, nothing changes though i looking forward to some improvement, a letdown element i suppose since we wont see them again in manga u_u... yes ofc i prefer Yabuki-sensei's characters design more and obviously there's a huge different! to make it short, XEBEC screwed it up! Dx

about this 4th volume, it brings back the moment when Momo and Nana first appearance when they forced Rito and the geng together in rpg world and stuff happened... typical uncensored stuff for OVA though i didnt bothered much about it... overall it just an average episode, plus factor goes to Momo and Nana... i'll look ahead for the next 2 volume, not expecting highly but a Yami/Yui episode would be great, but from what i've see it's high probably focused on the twins and Run(lolwut!)...

Immortal Regis: Last Impression

2009-11-08T19:00:00.001+08:00

Title: Immortal Regis
Artist: JUDER
Author: GA On-Bi
Genre: Action, Ecchi, Fantasy, Romance
Rates: 9/10

Summary:

One day, suddenly... a night where the moon shines like never before, a boy meets the otherworldly Serin, a denizen of Chaos, only to die and become the undead. Now immortal, he can no longer exist with humans due to an ancient law... A tale of revelations that begins as he returns to Chaos, the start of a new adventure!

[AN ACTION PACKED THAT WONT MAKE U LEAVES THE MONITOR]

alright it has been awhile since i write something about manga but this time it is manhwa... though the different is it comes from a differ country, and here it come for my latest pick, Immortal Regis... at first i just picked this out randomly but it turns to be promising one and keep me read it till the end, nice gamble is nice... though i recommended this one, my taste may differ so dont put a blame on me

SERIN IS LOVE! DEPORE IS LOVE! xD

a wise-plot among it’s kind though i'm not into manhwa much, character's name factor i suppose? yeah hard to memorize but i'd make this one as an exception, the arts and design for both characters and setting are quite typical but it owns trademark itself when it come to action, even a slips of a fan-service do maintain it on track and didnt hurt much yet still delicious...

as the main character(Jae and Serin) development, it was quite thoughtful with purposely thorny their relationship by parting them at almost the whole story, yeah no spending time together yet they are calling each other, quite complex although the last part are so distressing, it's inevitable ofc

well for a fastidious climax as this story grows, sure it cost bit of time to exposures the hole and fabricating the fine development, but it worth of time to read... it's pace might be fast but i eventually realize this it how it was... a cliffhanger ending? ofc i'm WTF all over but fear not it comes with the sequel with the differ title, Cavalier of the Abyss, and it still with ongoing status now ;D

at any case, this one is available at [Mangatraders] for download and [Onemanga] for online readers...

so yeah, she's the champion by trashing Shana twice in Double Elimination... who would be expecting this when she is not even made in the top 8 whilst Shana only lost once during the league period... despite it was only 11 vote different, win is win, so does the opposite ;D ... this may made people thinks league period is useless unless one made it into top 16 ;P

well then, hoping that the new faces will rise next year especially from them, DEEN *caugh*Umineko*caugh*Seitokai*caugh* and the obvious one from KyoAni representing their prideful artifact, K-ON! the replacement of Clannad... not forget to mention, SHAFT's Bakemonogatari ;D

Gaia's pick: The Finest 5 Autumn's OP

2009-10-19T01:30:00.001+08:00

1. fripSide - only my railgun

quite tough actually to makes my mind, choosing between fripSide and Rekka Katagiri for the 1st place since both of 'em are my favorite artist... starting to knew fripSide from Koihime Musou show first season OP, the second track of it's single titled 'sky ~version 2008~' until now become one of my favorite song ;3

- - - - - - - - - -

2. Rekka Katakiri - Touen Ketsugi ~Touen no Chikai~

first time i'm familiar with Rekka Katakiri is when she play her role in Koihime Musou VN opening titled Hφwling Sφul and later she back again in Shin Koihime Musou VN covered both opening and certain route ending song... it was quite stunning i'd say and now she back again with certainly promising OP ;D

- - - - - - - - - -

3. Ayane - Arrival of Tears

nevertheless, Ayane's fast pace music is undoubtedly intriguing plus it single has been released yesterday ;D ... i wont upload it this time bu it can be digs up [here], credit to Siden that i noticed it ;3

- - - - - - - - - -

4. blue drops - Ring My Bell

i cant clarify music well but fortunately 'Ring My Bell' has it own allure for generic anime song that mesmerized me to it, i'm assured it though didnt familiar with it artist myself ;P

- - - - - - - - - -

5. Yui Sakakibara - Nyanderful!

it has been awhile i didnt heard Yui Sakakibara voice and ofc she is one of my favorite artist long ago especially the song from Seto no Hanayome and Prism Ark... also, i can recognize it right away in this OP lol

Saimoe: The Biggest Zetsuboushita in Making

2009-10-18T01:47:00.003+08:00

well then what i'm afraid of comes true, it appears that Aisaka Taiga manages to crowned 2 out of 3 moe tournament champion, Korean Best Moe; by beating Hiragi Kagami with only 3 votes gap and the latest result, Japanese Saimoe; by throwing Hirasawa Yui away with 54 votes gap... thus she named herself in saimoe history while i'm in the biggest despair, none of my favorite get through the final u_u

quite funny actually while she isnt favorable candidates in first place, be able to monopolize it... in fact she are struggling in ISML Double Elimination and later lost to Fate Testarossa with 62 votes gap, i'd say those gap are quite close if it was on ISML level compare to another 2 tournament... well yeah, the current spotlight obviously ISML with the well-known of the best 6, one will be the winner...

Shin Koihime Musou: First Impression

2009-10-15T01:23:00.003+08:00

Title: Shin Koihime Musou
Producers: Dogakobo
Genres: Comedy, Ecchi, Fantasy
Recommendation Lvl: 5/5

obviously and without a doubt, this one are above the god tier level of the most wanted show for me in this whole autumn season period! although it's a bit disappointed that Kazuto are cease to exist in this sequel in fact his existence are important in Koihime chronicle VN...

hereby, Rekka Katagiri once again being entrust on the opening theme and it really fits the OP perfectly... quite expected matters, all new characters in Shin Koihime Musou will make their debuts but surprisingly the premise decided to includes 2 male characters Kata Genka(side character in SKM) and Ukitsu(antagonist in KM) in this continuation while didnt give a chance for Kazuto D: ... apart, for it's ending theme, i cant recognize the artist but simply give a same vibrations as fripSide NAO project!'s first season ED ;3

anyways, the plot are still with a stand alone anime's original story and a little bit energizing starter than before... with all together 5 Tiger General and Sleeping Dragon facing the bandits, a warms up yuri section by Rinrin and Sui plus Sei with her awesome jokes and clearly Touka's debut!!! the animation are still same as season 1 though i kinda used it ;D

in any case, i are impatiently waiting for Hinari, Tanpopo, Tenhou and her sisters XD ... damn, the worshiping to Koihime goddess mode awaken for all of sudden lol...

p/s: o hye oot, the 222nd gaia get
p/s: that's for autumn 1st impression though i ditched all the remaining sequel one since there's any stuff can be write about it... my lazyness cant be killed wif fire lawlz

Sora no Otoshimono: First Impression

2009-10-15T00:52:00.001+08:00

Title: Sora no Otoshimono
Producers: AIC ASTA
Genres: Comedy, Ecchi, Fantasy
Recommendation Lvl: 10/5

another top ranked autumn show in my list plus i'm familiar enough with the title through the manga and it was a prudent decision to animated it, moreover it has been entrusted to AIC ASTA which are the one of my favorite production who made Bamboo Blade before... as the result, it's animation are superbly done while the designing of it's characters are splendidly prepared to remains the originality from manga ;D

in any circumstances, the opening theme is also win hard-mode by default although it clearly revealed quite massive of spoiler, and the ending(in episode 2)... mehh, i can only smile brightly enjoying the beautiful scene ;P ... fair enough only the pervert knows the logic of pervert stuff though the main plot might sunk after Ikaros appeared, but i believe the main premise are focusing on it hilarity thus are adequately done so far imo ;3

in every aspect, this show are worth to try... the only matter is people taste and their adaptability level ;P
