More Purple Lipstick = More Fun :D

SUPER ULTRA GORGEOUS PURPLE LIPSTICK WINS!

TotA is still a tad too gamey for my taste, but it's fun enough.
We have a supeeer ultra cuuute Mieu~ and an amazing Guy who has a rather bad case of gynephobia. BUT~ it's all because of a tragic past and all!! Makes me think of Chiaki and his aviophobia. Hey, of course phobia history has to be dramatic, right? RIGHT-O~
Let's go to the main character, Ruuku-sama.

Is it just me or is he really an annoyingly clueless jerk-o? o_O
Can't blame him, I guess~ With the way he was raised and all, trapped in their extra big backyard and all, with a gynephobic BFF to boot. *shrug*

And here's another main character who has a few screws lose too.

YES YOU ARE. O_O
OMG, OBSESSIVE KID, LOOK AT ALL THOSE KAMINASssSSSssssS!!!!! O_O
Unfortunately, we have Nia who replies "No, you're not."
Nia, I know you're this super ultra kind, super ultra pure, and super ultra good-hearted princess and all type of character, but seriously, that kid soo needed a big bonk on the head already!!!
Guess the hair-clouds are symbolic--she has her head in the clouds~
Well, seems it worked out fine anyway~ Thanks to this being an anime. :D Ahhh~ the 2-D world can be soo cute like that. ^_________^

More lose screws...

Hey, uhh... I don't get it? Why's the doggie named silver?? Where the heck is silver in that doggie, tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol, that was my attempt at fussing over the name of a doggie with a 1-ep lifespan. :D

...a RatDog.

Maybe he'll sell on Nickelodeon~ It's worth a try. ^_____^
And at least he's closer to Silver now~ Maybe Hime has precognitive powers. :D Hey, Taku, here's your comrade~ Hmm. Wrong anime, huh...

"I have a pretty tongue too!"
Here we find out the doggie's motivation. First he gets a name that just doesn't fit. Then he finds out that an episode ago, they already decided on a mascot, despite the fact that he's like ultra super cuter!!

Poor Silver... He just couldn't take the shock, because no matter how he looked at it, he had a prettier tongue was cuter. :'(
Side note: I don't know if they actually said "Gyuu TONGUE" or "Gyuu-tan" or something else that sounds like that. I don't really trust Chihiro's subs all that much this time though, since there seemed to be a couple of awkward lines and I think I noticed one outright TL booboo. It wasn't really important though, I think... But, considering my ultra super poor Japanese Language knowledge, I may have missed important stuff. Lalala~ :3
Anyway, of course, in the end, they had no choice but to tune Silver.
Because yellow/orange is the new stop,

Silver has now disappeared in a pretty blue vertical light biimu~ ^.^

Hime is so devastated.

How could she have not realized that her dog was jealous of the cow-tongue (Hmm.. this really seems wrong.. I mean, Gyuu-tongue?? o_O) mascot??? But in the 2-D world, only in Sunrise shows can you be 99.9% sure that a creature who has "died" in an explosion (or similar) will eventually reappear in a super ultra amazing comeback. Plus, the light biimu was blue. Usually Sunrise "kills" with pinku. So, lalala~

Speaking of pinku... The following episode, we get a jedi-nun with a pink samurai saber. :D
How cute, she even goes around slashing cars in half. :D

And strike a pose~

So, on anime nuns...
We have Soma making a cameo in Index OP. :D

Oh wait, that's not Soma??
Oh well...
I'll just go back to Yozakura...

We all loev rainbows, don't we? :D
With this, ROYGBIV is officially dead~

1. I don't claim to own what isn't mine.
2. And make a rainbow~ Chocolate Nips~

P.S.
The secret to a pretty tongue:

Eat live bees. D:
Fortunately, I'm not vain about my tongue. Heehee. ^_^

Of Gayness and Rangers

Mirror, mirror on the wall~ who's the gayest one of all~?~

Not even a month into the new season and we have ourselves undeniable evidences of the proliferation of gaylife into mecha anime.
Oh wait, it's actually been like this in animelandia since time immemorial, hasn't it?
[Just to clear things up~ I don't have anything against gays~ This was just too fun to resist. Come on, golden circlet/tiara/whatever? Purple lipstick? Green/Dull-yellow-green/What-the-heck-is-that-green-?- long hair? Royalty? PERFECT GAY~]

First up is Tytania.

Duke Gay here

found a potential gayprey.
Unfortunately...

"Kao wa warukunai ga, watashi no konomi de wa nai na..."
And Fan Hulick reacts~ (This is ANBU's spelling.)

LOL, I dunno how you write "ga" which is read as "nga" which means "but/however/etc".
So, more literally, he said "Your looks aren't bad, but you're not my type eh."
Lol, gay advances in a "space opera" anime. :D And I know it's prolly not a big deal, but he has freakin purple lipstick and yellow green hair!! XD
And, well, I just felt like doing a post with screens on it again~
So I'll go on. ^_____^

Well, aside from gaystuff, we have Tytania Rangers. :D

In all their 3D hologram glory tooooo~ Nyahaha.
Aside from posing for holographic portraits, these rangers also love tea and holding ranger conferences

where they can be jerks to each other, except for Jouslain who seems to be the only non-obnoxious ranger~ Hey, hey, no wonder Landless Lord is worried. ~_~

But you ain't seen nothin' 'til you see Gandamu Rangers~

Seriously, walking like that, all they need is this big dramatic explosion behind them and they're good to go. ;D
They got extra rangers too. :D

So where's Gaydam 00?
Here you go~

Ribbons and his gaaaayyyy squad~ :D
What does the color coding mean? The clothes have to match the hair or something? Well, dun get it~ *shrug*
AND~ It's all so happy and gay, Tieria can't help but join the squad~ ^____^

Gaydam Rangers 00~ Best show of this season, OH YEAH!!
Special powers? Harohead henshin no jutsu~!
They got a gay rainbow in this show too~~~~~~~

Seriously, pink on a rainbow??XD To hell with roygbiv indeed, Gandamu Rangers colors ftw!
Dunno who's that upper green though. And since Allelujah just got rescued, he's just the added orange light biimu~

Lastly, I just wanna say that for some bizarre reason...

I'M

SERIOUSLY

GAAAYY

FOR THIS POSE~

And with that, I've decided to become a Setsuna follower. :D Kind of. Since, normally, I should like that kind of character. Very tragic past, battles everywhere, knows no other way to live than through fighting... SERIOUSLY, it's even more bizarre that I'm not really a fan of his character. He's just... boring, really, despite having perfect marks in the minimum qualifications area. o_O
Well, I do remember liking Trowa over Heero, so it makes sense, I guess. Though my Gundam Wing memories are kind of murky now...
But, I still am gay for that posing sequence~ =))
ORE GA GANDAMU~!!!!!!!!!!

1. I don't claim to own what isn't mine~
2. I just want to reiterate that I have nothing against homosexuals, but the word gay is just so funnily useful for shows like these~~ Nyahahaha.

dNeero 011

Hoho, it's been quite a while since my last dNeero~
And all I can say is...
If I DID have the resources, then real backups will exist~~



~~
EDIT:
I have more to say after all~

Holy crap o_O, I want eternal storage toooooo!!
I want my share of technology too~~~~~~
Nyahahahahahahahahaha~
On a sidenote though, it's kind of funny to see that it says ATB 2010. That was R2, so current year would be 2018 ATB. Weeeeeeeeeh?
Well, that just means they reached a dead-end in Human style OS development, I guess? Too busy making mechas? But that's just Lloyd-tachi and Rakshata-tachi~ What happened to the rest of the world?

-OR-

HEY, it's eternal storage~~~ the ULTIMATE!!!
ALL HAIL THE HOLY MOMELAND~~~!!!!

Summer 2008 End (Part 2) and Rennnnnn x Kyouko~

Hey, new obsession~

NOT.
But I was addicted to Skip Beat for a few days. ^__^ And I mean a few days~ I did nothing but read Skip Beat~ ... Kind of. Of course I ate, etc, but.. well.. whatever~
Ren x Kyouko~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!! XD XD
Actually, I can also go "Rennnnnnnn~~~! XD".
BUT, that goes against my principles.. wut? LALA.
*Ahem*
He looks so ugly in the anime. q_q
But, oh well... I suffered this with VK too, so, it doesn't hit me as hard as the first time. ^_^
Skip Beat is a must-read. I swear it isssss!!!!
All the funnnnn and the kyaaaaaaa and the waaaaaaaaaaah and the HAHAHAHAHA and nyahahahaha moments you'll miss~~~~~~~ READ READ READ NOW NOW NOW.
LOL.
/incoherent-babble-due-to-unprecedented-effects-of-shoujo-manga-on-natural-brain-functions

*Ahem again*

Since I decided to do two entries I've been meaning to do for a few days now tonight, I better get a move on.
~~

Vampire Knight

Visuals sucked big time. I've decided that it isn't really just because the manga was so much prettier. The animation kind of sucked too. BIGGG LOL at Ichiru vs. Zero fencing whatever that looked like kid's play lalala whatever~
I forgot what ep it was since I pretty much marathoned the A-Kraze releases. Hmm.. I wonder if they'll be doing S2. I'll just marathon their releases again, if ever~
All in all, I guess the anime does have somewhat good points. The story flow is a bit clearer, but that should be expected out of something that actually moves and all, I guess~ Plus, I dunno how reliable the scanlations are.... BUT, I still think that part of it was kind of good.... Though the anime really borders on boring. But boring != disorganized storytelling. And, really, it wasn't disorganized, I'll give it that. Plus the voices were okay, they fit the characters as I imagined them. :D
Since VK is actually a serious story, I guess I couldn't expect the anime to be lively and all. But I really think this is an example of wasted starting material, since I really think the manga had more potential, it could've been a better anime. If you ask me how though, I dunno. I just watch anime, I don't make them~ *shrug*
That's the job of anime-makers~ Lalala.
With all my incoherent babble, VK wasn't very good. That pretty much sums it up.

Nabari no Ou

Uhh. Hmm.
How do I put it in words. I don't hate this anime. I don't like it either.
Objectively speaking, it prolly sucked, HAHA.
But, I guess I'm a sucker for this type of drama, BUT WAIT. DON'T GET ME WRONG. It's the concept, that I like. The anime failed me in presenting it.
But NOT really really, since I think it's just a characteristic of this anime...
This anime is what I'd call clumsy. Like how a person can be clumsy with showing his/her feelings or something. But, well, reality is also clumsy, right? But it's a show, so I guess that isn't an excuse? I dunno.. Haha.
How to say this... Hmmm.. I think anime, etc are unrealistic to a certain extent because they, are, well, shows. They're there to entertain you.
In a ninja show like this one, for example, it's kind of a first for me to see the protagonist's Dad running away like a coward from the pursuers. It was also rather surprising for the main antagonist to go blooper mode in his attempt to sway Yoite, which, uhh, cost him his life. o_o So he died because of a blooper. OKAY, sure~
Looking at it though, it really could happen in reality~ And people are cowards by default, right? That's the passive path; the active path is when you face ninja pursuers when you yourself don't have any special abilities, whatsoever. If this was Naruto, I bet the Dad would've died fighting or something.
Because of that darkness in it, and I loev that kind of darkness, it doesn't get a low rating from me. :D
Despite its shortcomings, I'm glad I watched this anime. Plus, I loved the songs~ ^___^
Also... "Eh... Hehehe." made me go HAHAHA. But they weren't really aiming for quality subs, so s'okay. :D And it made me laugh a lil. :D

Natsume Yuujinchou

This is definitely one of my top ones for last season. It's not the exciting, cool, super funny or freaky type, which kind of makes it a suprise (lala? surprise!!) that I really, really liked it. But, I DID.
So there was this guy who can see ayakashi, etc. He wasn't believed by 99.9% of the rest of the population, and thus he suffered being isolated from his fellow humans, etc. Seems to be a kind of cliche plot, right? Wrong?
In any case, no matter how cliche, if it's cliche at all, this anime still had a way to be so lightly nice. :D
And it always just said things I wanted to hear~
Well, all in all, this series is not something I would call "awesome~" "great~", etc. The word I would really have to use with it is nice~~~ Light, and heartwarming. :D
I'm so looking forward to the next season~ ^^,

Macross Frontier

I really liked the songs!!! ^___________^
And mostly, the visuals were great. ^^,
The story was also nice enough before the last episode.
That is, I DIDN'T LIKE THE ENDING. WTH, concert ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, yeah, I'm a noob at Macross, maybe that's like normal, but... really. o_o
It's like, okay, let's just end this with Sheryl Ranka duet medley and nice visuals. I guess that's not bad, maybe macross isn't really one for a deeper story or something. Or maybe I equate deep with heavy? But no I don't! Because I liked Natsume Yuujinchou a lot~
And even the love story part ended in a "huh? what? back to start??" way. Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe I don't really think the ending is that bad. I really just had to go O_O at Alto's "You're both my wings~" line. Oh, shut up, geisha princess faggot. I hate Alto. DX
I found out there was a movie before watching the end of Macross. Now, after watching the end of Macross F, I'd say that the movie will be a an everyday life love comedy where Alto meets more girls in school which he can add to his harem. :D This love comedy ends with the harem ending too, and Alto's new line would be "You're all my wonderful feathers~ *smile*". Feathers, because there are more, and Alto has a limited supply of love, so, also feathers because they're smaller. ^^,
BUT, it seems like it won't be a sequel, but a retelling. AWW, man, where's my rabu rabu comedy with shining Alto love dialogues??? SHEESH, if you're gonna do harem, do it all the way. I DEMAND FEATHERS!!!! o_O And there goes my sanity~ HAHAHAHA!!!
Well, anyway, I still liked Macross enough. :D
~kira~
~nyan nyan~
~ninjin loves you yeah~!~
~~~~ =))
I love the songs forever~ HAHA.

Well, I guess that would be all for last season!!! At last!!
This season though, the number of anime I'm watching has taken a considerable increase. o_o
Good luck to me when they end~~~

Fall 2008 BLAHs

I'm actually tired of this obsessing over Lulu business.
See, contrary to what might have been popular belief if anyone read this blog at all, I don't actually have a stash of Lulu pictures in my laptop. I get them one by one as I put them here, just for the sake of the obsessing-over business.
See the difference now? Obsessing over something requires effort~ It doesn't come out naturally~
So uhh, dunno what that makes of me, putting in effort and all for something like this.
Actually, really, what DOES that make of me? LOL.
Lalala~

Soo, basically, this is actually supposed to be a post about the Fall anime I've decided to watch.
I'll divide them into 3 groups: Definitely will not be dropped, Prolly won't be dropped, and who knows~might get dropped ones. But the fact that I've decided to watch them, I prolly won't drop them anyway... It just might end up that I won't really remember them so well after this season, that it would be as good as if I had dropped them in the first place... But who really knows? :P
LOL, I got lazy, no more groupings, I'll just babble.

Clannad ~After Story~

Well, it's an S2~ And I really liked the first one, except for the pure Nagisa arc part. And the ending..... DX DX [decided to use this since blogger will think of the appropriate smiley as html tags again.. or something. If you can't see the smiley.. er.. not enough imagination, go level up or something.]
Anyway, second season seems great, like before~ I really like Clannad, hahaha.
At first I didn't like the OP though, but I guess it's that kind of song you start liking after hearing it a few more times. The OP is also by Lia who sung Air OP and ED and, well, just that is definitely a plus~~ Hahaha.

Fansub choice: SS-Eclipse
Reason: Because they're good~ And my last season copies were by them too.

Gundam 00 S2

RIBBONS GAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!
Bring Lockon back!!!
Nyahahahaha.
Juggernaut mask!!! WAH.
Tieria is gayyyy too? :o But he's a robot!! I thought he was genderless. o_O
LOCKON BACKKKK NOT SOME LOOK-ALIKE!!!!!!
[Insert more nonsense comments]

Fansub choice: Mendoi-Conclave/Conclave-Mendoi (Whatever, forgot.)
Reason: They were my sub of choice for last season. Haven't actually checked out BSS-gg/gSS, maybe I will later, since it's sitting here untouched anyway. But I think I shall stick to Menclave anyway. Mostly for the reason of S1-S2 consistency. Ahaha. A few observations on current Menclave encodes though. IF I remember right, last season's release were ~343mb encodes. This season's encodes are ~375mb. But I dunno if it's just me...... I think their S1 encodes were better or something. But I don't really remember that clearly, and I'm not about to dig into my archives just for that. Also like last season's karaoke more~ I'm a neutral when it comes to softsubbed vs. AFX vs. no karaoke. The OP colors were just a bit off.. The green was actually okay, they should've just kept it green, the changing colors didn't really help. As for the ED--just WRONG. The exit was cool, but apart from that, the karaoke just didn't fit, or maybe they didn't fit together or what. But it's not THAT bad. I just really liked S1's kara, I guess~

Kuro Shitsuji

Black feathers-check.
Creepy butler-check.
Spunky kid-check.
Funny scenes-check.
Freaky story-check.
Freaky creepy etc--CHECK CHECK CHECK.
OMG I LOVE THIS SHOW. HAHAHA.

Fansub choice: Shinsen-subs
Reason: They released first, haha. I haven't checked out the other group yet, maybe I will, maybe I won't. Depends. But as far as I can tell (well, this may not be very far considering how much I liked the show, might've been distracted, dunno), Shinsen wasn't bad for this, so maybe I'll just stick to them. anidb people seem to agree with my assessment anyway.

ToraDora

Another Kugimiya Rie Tsundere anime filled with flying, bouncing, and hey~ EVEN ROLLING insults~
LOL, taiga roll~ =)) [Or whatever it's supposed to be called, dunno]
Definitely a fun anime~!!
Funnily though... Their classmates don't seem to see Minori and Kitamura as weird... WHY @_@ Not that I see them as too weird, in fact I really enjoy watching Minorin with all that energy, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~ BUT. Seriously, if Taiga is weird, Minorin is at least, ALSO weird. Lalala~
FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!
/senseless babble

Fansub choice: ggrain
Reason: I checked out... one other group, I think. And found that gg translation was generally better. Also like how the TL puts up trivia notes. Unfortunately, I can't stand the grain, so Ill just get ggrain. LOL at the grain though, why exactly is it there? Just for fun? Lalala.

Ga-Rei Zero

At first I thought this was another action blah anime (which I don't hate btw), so lalala. Then in comes girl who fights with a motorcycle. I'm like "COOOOOL. I'm so gonna watch this series just for the sheer coolness of motorcycle fighting!!". Then she died. o_O AND SO DID THE REST OF THE CAST. wthwtfwtwtwtwwww. o_O
And of course, because of that, I've decided to watch the second episode. And this time, I think I really like the series now, hahahaha. I also checked out the first volume of the manga. I didn't read it, I just scanned through it. And it now makes a little sense, this anime is actually the prequel of the manga. Ahaha. Well, in any case, I like it. Gun-sword weapon was cool too. YEAH.

Fansub choice: Currently deciding between sMi and Aniyoshi.
Reason: sMi is HD, and Aniyoshi isn't, but I thought Aniyoshi video qual was better anyway, soo... I haven't really tried comparing the TL and all yet, so lalala.
After comparing the TL for the first few lines where I could hardly hear the dialogue since it was a convo via radio, I got lazy and went to anidb. HAHAHA.
*(Btw, this gives us an idea of the level of my jap knowledge. I base things mostly on context, anime,etc-watching experience, some very very basic jap knowledge, and JWPCE. Therefore, I will only spot major errors, and that could even be wrong. Hahaha. But I do compare my impressions with anidb people's, so, I guess it should be okay~)*
But my initial impression WAS supported by anidb though. AniYoshi TL was generally better. On video quality, I still stay with my assessment that AniYoshi is better even though I'm actually one for more.. er.. vivid(?) colors. sMi's video had brighter colors, and AniYoshi's was a bit dull in that department, but sMi's video loses detail because of that (same case as Rumi's NnO). But sMi vid exhibited excessive banding. That and.. I dunno what to call the other stuff I see, but I don't like it. :D Although I don't remember seeing this much banding in Rumi, I actually don't really remember.. so.. lala? In any case, I'm supposed to be talking about AniYoshi vs. sMi for Ga-Rei.. so.. it doesn't matter what Rumi's encode was like. Their encodes are both ~232mb with AniYoshi's in 480p and sMi in 720p. I guess that's why AniYoshi had better quality huh? Well, as far as I can remember though, Ga-Rei doesn't really need HD, imo. And just because I feel like typing even more useless stuff, what exactly do I mean when an anime needs HD? It's when the art is so detailed, there's a possibility of not seeing that in SD. Hmm.. one good example would be TotA, I think... Casshern would also be one because of all those flying stuff when Casshern is ripping robots apart~ :D But this is based purely on my subjective judgement, of course~
LAST THING: Didn't like sMi's font. I thought AniYoshi's fit the show's mood better. Also, I don't mind the notes. :D I do mind subbers putting in "Eh.. Hehehe." in their subs though. WTH. o_O What am I talking about? I'll prolly put it up on this blog sometime. :D

To Aru Majutsu no Index

OP FEELS SOOOO SHANA.
J.C. Staff, come onnnn~ =))
Seriously, it wassss sooooo Shana. Ahahaha.
Looks to be a good, fun and adventure filled anime, so I'm in. ^^,
It's lacking something though... If it were just a picture, I'd say it'll be a bit dull. Can't really describe what I find lacking..... oh well.

Fansub Choice: Eclipse
Reason: They're good, didn't bother checking others (if there are others).

Tytania

LOL, operatic OP. HAHAHAHAHA.
Seems to me like it could be good though, so I'm continuing. ^^,

Fansub choice: ANBU
Reason: I asked a LoGH/Tytania fan which of the groups prolly had the right terms, and he said ANBU, so I'm like, OK since I dunno anything about Tytania, etc anyway. AHAHAHA.

Chaos; Head

Weird anime. FUN ENGRISH ED. Nice OP with a bit of Engrish.
Delusions, gore, cool-looking weapons, bloodworks.
Hey, I'm in, nyahaha.

Fansub choice: m.3.3.w
Reason: They're good. They also changed OP kara color to blue for ep2. Not that that affected my decision, but it's good to know that I don't actually have bad taste in TS. HAHAHA.

Mouryou no Hako

What the...?
But it's one of those mysterious, freaky types.
So... Oh yeah, I'm in. HAHAHAHA.
My choice in anime seems to be well-aligned with freaky,etc stuff, huh.
Well, I also like coooool stuff. ^^,

Fansub choice: Nightshade-yesy
Reason: 720p. Not sucky. Don't feel like bothering to compare it with Aero, so lalala. I think this is mostly because my view of Aero went down with their sucky Tytania video, but hey, they're speedsubs, so that's really okay, I guess. Lalala.

Tales of the Abyss

Actually, I don't like this one all that much. It's a game adaptation, so it certainly has that gamey feel, for one.
But since mieu~~~~ is soooooooo cuuuuuttttte~~~~~~~~~~~~~... I'm really really watching it after all~~ XD XD

Fansub choice: gg
Reason: I don't remember. I think I watched two other fansub versions and found that gg TLs were better and though I found their video a little bit off color-wise, it wasn't really that much of a big deal. Another reason would prolly be my tendency to stick with a group I've already come to... er... trust. Haha.. I don't think I really checked out the other groups that much. I watched Weib for the first ep since they released first, and their subs were kind of bad, haha. TS wasn't bad, neither was TL. It was the editing, I guess? Or maybe that's just how they do it--lack of punctuation. Hmm.. Oh well~

Hakushaku to Yousei

SHOOOOUUUUUJJJJJJOOOOOU~
Sparkles, fairies, and bishies--good elements for this genre.
I love sparkles~ :D :D
And I really do need a dose of Shoujo for this season~

Fansub choice: m.3.3.w
Reason: I dunno if anyone else is subbing this, but m.3.3.w is well... one of those groups I've come to "trust". Hehe. So that's that, I didn't check out any other release.

Casshern SINS

This is a rather serious story about robots receiving the curse of death because, supposedly, of Casshern who looks like Rockman. I swear he does.
*Ahem*
Anyway...
ANIMATION IS SUPERB.
OP and ED are GREAT.
So even though the story is *almost* boring (because it isn't really boring, just almost), I will still watch it for the great animation and possibly good story. :D

Fansub choice: Shinsen-Subs
Reason: For this one, I actually did compare Shinsen with another release. I think it was Anonymous, or something. I didn't bother getting the other release with a really small file size, because, uhhh... All the great animation would be wasted if this isn't watched in either HD, or at least decent quality SD.
Anyway, the other release had a number of TL errors, as far as I can tell, so definitely Shinsen for this one. Actually, it's a rather good Shinsen release, and it's completely softsubbed--something I've never seen Shinsen do before this one. Haha. Well... so that's that.

Yozakura Quartet

I loved the OP.
It's another one of those anime with supernatural powers and Youkai and stuff~
But it seems interesting enough. I didn't find it like, special special, but I did like it enough, so, I'm watching it. :D

Fansub Choice: Aone or AnimeYoshi
Reason: Haven't compared them yet but both seem to be okay, so that's why I would need to compare. But I think I'll be going for Chihiro for weekly watching, since AniYoshi and Aone are is rather slow and Chihiro isn't bad. :D Why Aone? Actually, as far as I can tell, TL/edit qual are really close... I'm just going for Aone because they didn't TL youkai to demon, etc. AND, well, Aone is supposedly a quality group. Hehe. They also rate higher on anidb. :D

Kurozuka

Talk about bloodworks. I wonder why they went and censored Ga-Rei and left this as is. Timeslot maybe? Oh well, who knows, too lazy to actually go and check.
Anyway, this is another serious anime. But the story interests me, so I think I'll keep on watching it. It might just be great though, and the animation is great.
The only thing I really have against anime like these is that... Well, I do like FUN~~ :))

Fansub Choice: PENDING Ureshii
Reason: The one I watched sucked. It was by Shinsen. Well, TL and all was okay, I guess, but the video was really bad, so I'll try and see if there are better ones, since this is an anime that, in my opinion, should be watched in HD or decent SD if possible. The quality of the anime goes to waste, otherwise. And I'm not talking about the gore, just to make it clear, since I may have implied with my other babbles that I enjoy gore. And for the record, I don't like sick, pointless gore. :P
From here on are comments after checking out sMi's and Ureshii's releases. Why Ureshii? I like the effort they put into editing it. HAHA. And the supplemental pdf.:D Also, once again, sMi's video seems to have a problem. Aside from lack of detail (what I mean is some of the detail seem to be smudged/blurred or something), it seems to have been overcropped and resized back to 720p...I think...since the proportions of the stuff were better in Ureshii's release, imo. Soo, that's that. :D

Kannagi

CRAZY goddess.
Funny enough, so, I'll be watching. :D
(I think this might actually be better than I first gave it credit for.. Hehe.)

Fansub choice: Ayako
Reason: Ayako is okay, in my experience, and I'm too lazy to spend time comparing for this one since I'm satisfied with Ayako's work anyway.

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka

SOLA. Part II.
Of course not~ Actually, only the characters' appearances are quite similar. Only this time, Aono is the "stranger/surprise girlfriend" and Matsuri is the sister. Actually, the sister isn't really that similar to Matsuri, but well, they both have long hair and the stranger and the guy are similar enough to Aono and Yorito. Haha.
It's another cliche setting, I guess, but it isn't bad. And I do welcome fun. :D

Fansub choice: Eclipse
Reason: "Trust". Don't even know if any other groups are doing this.

Skip Beat

Uhh, LOL. Why am I watching this?
Because I just marathon-ed the manga up 'til the latest chapter I could find.. HAHAHA. So now, I think it's fine to watch the anime. :D
But it sure wasn't great.... Which is kind of sad since the manga is awesome~
But well, I can't really imagine how they can't produce a not-even-decent anime from a really fun manga, so, well.. the thing is I wanted to say that the anime is probably decent enough to watch. :D

Fansub choice: Ureshii-Yoroshiku
Reason: I "trust" Ureshii and I'm not really gonna go out of my way for this one since I don't like the anime that much anyway. :'( REALLY love the manga though, WAH. :(( But, again, I think I'll go with Chihiro for weekly watching, unless Ureshii-Yoroshiku picks up speed.

Michiko to Hatchiin

It's OK. Nothing special, imo. But not much really happened in the first episode, so I guess I can't really judge yet. :D
Could be good though, so I'm sticking around to find out.
I'm not really fond of lyric-less OPs/EDs, but the OP vide for this was so colorful, it was kind of okay. :)

Fansub choice: BSS
Reason: They were the first to release, I think? Also, "trust". Too lazy to check other groups. BSS is plenty okay anyway. :D

One Outs

A bit of the usual japanese overdrama, imo, but HEY, I don't think I've seen any sports anime that had no overdrama in it~ Hahaha. I miss sports anime, and this seems interesting enough, so I'll be watching, even though I don't really know much about baseball. ^^,
(If easily bored, skip to after close parenthesis. You have been warned.
~My experience related to baseball is zero, though I had softball for P.E. before... But that could hardly count, especially if you count in the fact that I had a sprained knee for about 60%-70% of the meetings. And guess what? That sprained knee wasn't even because of PE. o_o So I was stuck pitching all the time since I couldn't run, lalala. Our class wasn't really especially good anyway, but they were nice people, haha. Fun thing is, we still won the exam match against another class because, OMG, the pitcher sucked big time. We got lotsa balls~ HAHAHA. WALK POWER!!!)
Also, the main character is Hisoka. HAHA.
