The moment of truth I been waiting for.

Creator Shūsuke Amagi light novels and manga comes to life in the form of anime. For those drawing blank, Chrome Shelled Regios was short series published into the Monthly Dragon Age magazine and won Best Story with an Academic Theme in Kadokawa’s 2007 Light Novel Awards.

Hello…contrary to what a few(very few) people might believe,I’m not dead.While I am living a life close to that of a dead person,I should let it hinder my writing.See I even had time to fix up this cool picture from the ED single CD cover.Its MINE ALL MINE!!

Um,I guess I should start out with things I left off a few months ago:

Toradora

Apparently I’ve not talked about it for 3 months?In fact its been so long I don’t even know if I remember how to write a proper post.

Well,to say the least, its still one of my top picks for the fall season,though I really liked Michiko to Hatchin too,perhaps more so than Toradora now.

Taiga:

Up till now I don’t see much character development for taiga besides the fact that she’s still slow, klutzy,predictable,naive and a tsundere.The only perceivable change I sense is that she’s now more attached to Ryuji than ever and that she’s perhaps more open about her feelings.

Ami:

I like her the best so far,while she may come off as a shallow bitch early on she’s slowly coming to terms with who she really is and embracing that fact that she’s not a sweet bishoujo idol.But it doesn’t stop her from acting like one.And of course there’s her totally ambiguous relationship with Ryuji.She seems hesitant to take the initiative for fear of rejection or rather fear of being in a relationship.Might ruin her modeling career? Over time she’s become an entertaining one to watch besides the normal Minorin antics.

Minorin:

She’s a lesbo,end of discussion.jk

Ehh..I liked her in the beginning but hat soon faded into a well of mixed feelings.I have no idea what is going on in this crazy girl’s head.She seems easy to read enough,the bubbly girl next door type of character,probably with a secret crush on someone.But no,she’s started out energetic and lively >>>creepy and crazy>>somewhat deep >>>I don’t know anymore.I think I started to get her better when he made that UFO and ghosts speech to Ryuji but she’s been giving mixed signals ever since and her recent fight with Ryuji just adds more doubt to the role she plays here.When will we know more about her?We practically know at least the basic background of Taiga and Ami,but here we have zero info.She’s -> the girl who Ryuji likes ->has weird habits ->does tons of part time jobs -> likes horror->possibly a lesbo.

Ryuji:

The typical nice guy.Tries to fit in and be a good friend to everybody.Has a father complex.So far I still don’t think much of him though.I would rather end this with him just going for Ami if given a choice right now but people keep(spoiler alert) saying Taiga ends up with him(spoiler alert)

Ehh I don’t really like the rest of the cast that much to give them a mention but I do hate some of them

The parrot:

WTF is up with this freak of nature.Okay I don’t hate this thing…,but it is creepy.

Taiga’s dad:

Total asshole in my eyes.He probably lost his nuts in an accident and now needs Taiga to complete his new family with his new wife.

That guy Taiga has a crush on:

Screw him he’s gay.

Overall:

Up till episode 13,I guess it kinda did meet my expectations to a certain degree as what I’d expect from your typical romance comedy.My only regret was that there isn’t enough background story to envoke enough emotions for the supposedly emotional scenes.Hell,I spent last week watching some anime I havent watched in 7-8 years and I cried like a sissy boy at times.(You didn’t read that)WhenI rewatched this,not even a sob.Rewatched some Code Geass,a couple of sobs no tears.They just don’t make’em like they used to….

I guess the show’s saving grace would be the comedy during the episode usually spawned from some Minorin or Taiga influence.Otherwise it just barely holds up in terms of raw plot because love triangles,even pseudo love triangles don’t do much to impress me.

Now you would probably ask,why I said it was good in the first place.Well, its good compared to everything else out there at the moment that is.

A good 3.5/5 I’d say.

General Stuff:

Okay so putting that aside,this should run till the start of the Spring season,though I can’t give any guarantes I can even keep up with the bloging on the series because college life appaently sucks.Speaking of which,the main reason I went afk for 3 months was because of that very problem including the fact that my computer was broken for a few weeks now and I only discovered what the hell was wrong a couple of days ago.

Omni put up that “Vote for the best anime this year” thingy apparently again.I didn’t vote for Code Geass or Macross Frontier or whatever because I’m weird.*psst* Vote for Wagaya no Oinari-sama*cough*

Cheers & Happy 2009,I know I won’t be.

God, I miss Nagi-sama already.

Wow, I can’t believe that Kannagi has ended so soon. Well, maybe I can since I haven’t been blogging like I should, but it’s time to clenese myself and give Kannagi the send off it deserves. In this case, the following espiodes that send us off into a torrent of laughs, cries, and a somber farewell to anime that deserves no less than what it is worth.

The 8th ep is a little to less of Jin pondering on Nagi, and who she really is which comes back to bit him in later espiodes and a main plot device. Through in a bewilder Daitetsu and voila, we have a simple and humours epsiode that has no apparent effect, yet. The 9th is a also funny, Tsugumi slips off at the mouth and pegs Jin relationship with Daitetsu to one of homosexual. The only way to repair that wall, Tsugumi and Zange posses as his girlfriend, which doesn’t do any good, but hey, Zange X Tsugumi on the arm and fedding you isn’t a bad thing, is it?

The 10th is the karkore famed episode. Jin and company head to a karaoke bar and everyone gets a chance to sing. Tsugumi seems to try to make advances toward Jin, but fail in doing so, first losing out to Zange and then to Daitestu. Poor Tsugumi. On the other hand,  the songs and singing wasn”t that bad from everyone, espically Tarako, which everyone seemed to find creepy, but she had the goods. I never been so turned on in my life…*cough* there is also a Lucky Star Cameo. God, I can’t over how HOT Tarako is…

The last three epsiodes focuses on the main overhead of Nagi and her identity. Frustrated by the unwanted attention due to Nagi, they have small spat, causing Nagi to go off. This insights Jin to do a little investigation on his own to uncover what she is. Talking with Suzushiro (Harkua/Zange’s father) he thinks she maybe nothing more than a lesser god, dipping into a lesson of Japanese X Mythology.  The next day, Daitestu alerts Jin that Nagi is missing and Jin spends time to search for her and in a depressed state relaizes he cares for her. Tsugumi tries to comfort Jin, but it anger him instead.

The Last EP, Tsugumi finally relaizes that she can help Jin and verbal gives him a once over to look for her, since it something that he can do. With support of a network information, Jin finds Nagi and confronting her, saying he wasn’t upset she lied and knows they can find her memories. At this time, Shige shows up, the old woman, Jin meet before in last epsiode, but been reborn by Nagi, supposedly. After those seen, Jin and Nagi return home where message from friends wait. Nagi takes a shower and forgets he clothes and Jin runs into her, falling over her body. Tsugumi comes in the wrong time, stun (funny) and runs out with tears in her eyes in humors way and the last scene Jin gets hit by Nagi and the credits play with more scenes.

At face value, the pacing and elements of Kannagi wasn’t a disappointment. I found it even to be more enjoyable than anything I watched in the Fall 2008 line up. Hopefully, once the DVD and CD makes landfall, they will make an OVA or two or even a second season since a lot of things were left unsaid and done. Kannagi staff and the author worked really hard on this series and they deserve a little R&R and respect for this series. I hope to see Nagi-sama again, until then, Farewell Nagi-sama.

No, just your run-of-the-mill crazy girl.

And we finally seem to stand on the verge of the conclusion, with Kuijreika (shock!) going crazy (unless you consider not letting your people fight back just so you can take all the glory and try and fulfil the non-existent expectations of your dead mother due to your sister issues “sane”) and crushing the invading force (still don’t know who’s attacking who in this war) while Akiyuki and Haru arrive at the main location of the Quickening, whatever that is.

The imagery of tears in this episode was almost too prevalent. It seems like it could’ve been done with a bit more subtlety, say if Yango hadn’t BAWWWW’d his eyes out at Nakiami leaving/ hiding her ture feelings. I really just don’t like the kid. On the other hand, it was well done with characters like Kuijreika and Midori showing how secretly the two were both secretly mourning the fact that they were trapped by their own insecurities and the expectations of others.

The nameless Tessikan soldier who died about 5 minutes after he was introduced had the most impact on me, mostly due to his unflinching dedication and, most likely, love for Kujireika and the fact this happened to him:

Ouch. Rest In Peace, oh respectable and heroic nameless one.

I’m not really sure what’s going on with Sentan Island (other than what’s occuring with Midori.) Ryuzo seems to be static, while his general friend seems to be the most active, although what significance his actions will play has yet to be revealed, I think we’ll be seeing more of him from now on.

Hopefully, we’ll get more of Kujireika going mad and wrecking things next episode. Just beacuse she isn’t a delicious yandere, doesn’t mean I don’t like complete madness in my anti-heroines.

Diggin’ Akiyuki’s long haired look :P.

WTF?! Spoliers Inside.

Okay, I was following this, but I was to lazy to blog this and acutally a good thing I decided to. I mean, this show turned out to be not I was expecting to be. At this point half of you are wondering: WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! Well, if you read the title, that would be the anime Akaneiro Ni Somaru Saka or A.K.A for the anime viewers The Hill Dyed Rose Madder. And he is a little of what is about…

SYNOPSIS

Jun’ichi Nagase attends a prestigious high school. He has the nickname Geno Killer since he was rebellious in middle school. This is used, inadvertently, to help a girl named Yuuhi Katagiri from trouble. She later transfers to his school, and in order to protect Yuuhi from danger, Jun’ichi is forced to kiss her. Not understanding what happened, she screams at him. Subsequently, it turns out that Yuuhi is his fiancé as arranged by their parents. Their parents discuss the matter and order them to go out together once a month to restore their relationship. If their relationship does not get better, the engagement will then be canceled.

Besides that point, the anime was born from the unholy union of FENGS bad idea and the H game in Japan. To make sense of what I saying: It’s not worth wacthing to me. The ending well does incest mean anything to you? Yeah, Junchi went with Minato. Ewwww!!!!

I have no idea what the writers were thinking, but that ending is something most Americans over Japanese would frown upon, but what can you do, right? Anyway, with this in mind, the hours of sitting through this sad excuse of an anime has been reduced to absloutely nothing. Not by review so to say, but in short, the last epsiode nothing of intrest or critical demise happens. Nothing at all. I regert the time I spent wacthing this deeply, not how I thought it would end, but the ending grade of what is presented seems to be more uncommon to what I was wacthing in the first place. In other words: WTF?! It been better if they ended right about here.

For all it is worth, this anime was a excellent if not a good example of how NOT TO kill time and next time I proabably will be more careful of what I wacth. The only reason I was keeping track because my favorite voice actoress appeared in it and well, it was something again that would kill time.  I guess there is always the next season of shows or something better than this. Blech.

Anyone up for some Tokyo Majin or When They Cry? Anyone…

I smell Yu-gi-oh Lawsuit Brewing!

A million times more painful than you could imagine.

So, the episode pretty plays out as you’d think it would, only with a few more GIAnT BLACK SNAKES and Lances of Longinous than expected. It wouldn’t have bothered me so much if 1. Taku had actually managed to win the “fight” without the help of every girl in the show (as well as a crippled, diseased 10 year old) and 2. they hadn’t decided to play that distorted version of Traditional Japanese Crosswalk Lights Music (there’s a name for it, but I can’t remember). That was instead of disturbing, just EXTREMELY irritating, to the point I’d hoped Taku would just die so the music would stop. What was welcome was Taku getting a stake shoved up his… back. I think the censoring even lended something to the experience; only the visceral sounds and shadow of Taku gave any hint that such a torturous event was taking place.

Final Impressions:

So what was good about Chäos;HEAd?

• The music was fantastic and really well used. Every track fit the scene that was taking place perfectly but what really stood out was the direction, at  the points that were, at the very least, supposed to be disturbing. It’s sad that the calibre of the show didn’t match up to the calibre of the music.

And what wasn’t so good?

• The animation was average bordering on truly terrible at times, they should’ve put less money into animating Taku’s quivering eyes and more money into drawing faces properly.

• The plotline was pretty stock , and as I said before any sense of mystery about the show was eliminated when you could predict  how the series was going to continue after the big reveal about Nozomi and Noah way back in episode 6 or so.

• The characters were all pretty terrible/cliched/uninteresting/harem-esque/annoying, except for Shogun and Rimi, who had a surprisingly loving and warm relationship (about the only good relationship in the entire show.)

• Voice-acting and dialogue were all just kind of “meh”, the dialogue especially was needlessly convuluted at times and stupidly simple at others, but you could put that down to the pointless use of science in the show (it really was unecessary to hear about the Dirac Sea in a show about harems and giant swords).

Chäos;HEAd can be summed up in one word: dissappointing. All the expectations I got from the first episode of the show were dashed one by one throughout its entire run. I thought Taku would eventually develop into a human being. I thought that the harem elements would slowly dissappear and be replaced by a disturbing, Higurashi-like atmosphere and as such there would be needless amounts of blood, violence and gore combined with mystery and conspiracy in the show. I thought we’d even possibly get a few decent sword-fights out of it. It’s the kind of show where you just keep waiting and waiting for a payoff that never comes. The show got steadily worse as it contued and further and further away from its true potential. If you’re holding out to watch the entire show at a later date, I wouldn’t recommend it. And if you were unfortunate enough to have expectations of the series and watch the whole thing, weep with me. Weep bitter tears.

Back in the saddle.

Finally doing my first post with my laptop that came back form the shop since I had work that needed to be done to it. More good news: I’m home, done with exams, and I get to do absloutley whatever. And what is better than Kannagi catch-up. Let’s roll!

Does it get any more better than this? Does it, really?! You can never ignore a series like this once hits the ground running and it’s a really shame the author of such a series is in the hopstial and recovering from a maybe stress related complications. Well, I do really now love and appericate the work the manga-ka and all the guys at the studio put into this series. Man, so awesome!

Well, before I turn into a fanboy, I must get on with the epsiodes. Ep 04 & 05 are mainly just made to introudce Zange, Nagi’s revealed to be twin sister and the same chick from the ending at ep 03. Mostly we learn that two nagi trees we planted, one for Nagi and the other Zange, but Zange’s tree still stands and must mean she took over a human body. The human body is a girl named, Hakua Suzushiro (comes into play later) that her father tells Nagi and she agrees to help him to return her back to normal. From that prespective onward, the anime pretty-much follows in the tracks of the manga.

Other highlights included: Ep 06, in which Nagi becomes a fandom item at the school, leading her to gain a new skill. Ep 07 Nagi locking herself in a closet angry at Jin for taping over her favorite show, Super Loiki Cuite, which is fixed by non-otaku Akiba. Did I mention Nagi finds Jin’s dirty mags in their? And Ep 08, the maid cafe section, where Nagi wishes to get a job in order for money and more followers. And that should cut a three-hour expanded summary into a few quick mintues for you guys.

True to following the manga, it makes you wonder will the anime finish since Eri Takenashi, the author of the manga-ka is still in recovery. Maybe linked to the otaku protest against a creatin chapter (which said it wasn’t) all I can do is wish Takenashi-sensei a speedy and full-recovery.

That’s how long it took for Taku to grow a pair.

Chaos;Head manages to redeem itself slightly in these four episodes. Rather than focusing on the irritating harem elements or nonsensical science, we finally delve into the mysterious/psychological aspect of the show, though it isn’t nearly as interesting or disturbing as it could’ve been. For example, the “divine punishment” that Ayase went through was… water dripping on her face for two weeks. Meh, I guess the fact that it was at EXACT FIVE SECOND INTERVALS was the reason her mind broke. It does bring to the forefront an interesting thought, though it’s a bit late in the series to be theorising about anything: that the Di-Swords are created through periods of extreme psychological stress.

The show had a way of wrapping up Kozupii’s and Sena’s stories which seemed kind of rushed and insubstantial, by which I mean I didn’t give a crap about either of them or their history. At least Sena’s was disturbing enough to involve a dead baby sister (*shudder*) but Kozupii just had some weird issues with identity that weren’t really explained and then were solved by GARkumi. Yua’s just irritating and useless, her reasons for following Takumi were explained within a total time frame of about 3 minutes and then I guess we’re supposed to assume she dealt with it because she got a sword. I really don’t care about her or her twin sister issues, and it seems like the creators don’t either since she had absolutely no part in helping any of the other characters.

The detective simply sucked at his job then got shot by his subordiante, Suwa, who hilariously went crazy and started waving his gun and stakes around. To be honest, I just laughed at that entire scene, perhaps I’m just a sadist and a disturbed individual, but those two were so insignificant that to see one of them go turncoat and kill the other as if we were supposed to be shocked (they showed him going evil inthe OP) or feel empathywas just great entertainment. Ah well, if it’s of any consolation, the killer got reverse-Gigalomaniaxed by Takumi. Divine punishment!

BRAINS!!!

I hate censors. That hand should be a bloody stump. In fact, the entire show’s just been annoying in terms of QUALITYanimation and censoring. I don”t understand why they can show someone being crucified with stakes pointing out of their body and blood everywhere, and yet they can’t show any blood coming from the nurses neck when she stbas herself. I wanted Higurashi levels of violence, dammit! Also, the animation’s just been getting poorer and poorer over the last few episodes, with some ruly terrible shots cropping up that I’m not even going to bother to screencap. Surprisingly, the actual fight scenes aren’t too bad. There not even in the same galaxy as Soul Eater, but hell, they could be worse. What I don’t understand was when a bunch of giant insects just exploded out of everyone’s backs, what the hell was that about?

And so we get to the crux of the entire show, with Taku, Rimi and the not-so-mysterious Shogun’s origins being revealed. Turns out Shogun… IS TAKU!!! Wasn’t so much of a surprise that. What’s confusing is why exactly Shogun’s so damn old, probably som sort of disease that the creator’s couldn’t be bothered to mention, or Taku somehow sucking life energy from him. Anyway, Taku’s a delusion that Shogun created who can real-boot delusions, so that he (Taku) could stop Nozomi’s plans. Only he royally f*cked up by making him a terrible human being. TakuXRimi blah blah blah go bother Hinan0 for your shipping.

One more episode and we’re at the end of this less-screwed-up-than-it-should’ve-been show. Yay!!!

Obey!!!

I’m starting to get tired of episodic blogging, mostly because I took on too many shows at once and didn’t keep a steady schedule (nor did the fansubs, and before you say it, omo, I know Xam’d isn’t “airing” anywhere) so I’m keeping it short and sweet from now until the next season for all my posts, where I’ll probably only take on one show over here.

Episode 17

Though Xam’d isn’t a boring show per se, I feel like the extenstive build up and hints towards future events rather than many things actually happening in the show hurts my experience of the show as a whole. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the character interaction, dialogue and subtle cinematic techniques, but it just seems as if the show moves kind of slowly and unless a show is really amazing that’ll probably mean I get disinterested somewhere along the line. Those are just overall thoughts though, as there were plenty of moments this episode to ponder, laugh at and be creeped out by.

I loved the atmosphere of the farms and Akiyuki being somewhat a messenger of death, delivering letters to people who’s loved ones had died in the war. The peaceful imagery of Amau placed next to people breaking down in front of him as well as that creepy monologue somehow coming from EYETOY (copyright omo) seemed to just create a depressing and distubring air to me.

Kakisu’s a douche, that’s just a given now.

I have no idea why Prois let Haru out (jealousy?) but there mst be some sort of logical reasoning behind her actions. Either that or she just plain crazy. Point is, now Haru’s out and ready to find Akiyuki/save her sister. W00T GO HARU!

Episode 18

Any idea of Kujireika being a “Queen bitch”, as it were kind of disappeared now that we found out that she’s pretty much a less completely crazy version of Furuichi. You’d think someone’d be monitoring her actions in some way, or that there’d be someone akin to Nakiami in the tribe who’d be opposed to young maidens slitting their wrists and creating drugs steroids body-strengtheners.

Hell yeah, Haru’s on her way! Though I’m kind of disappointed that she didn’t do much of anything to stop her sister beyond saying “Don’t go there, it’s dangerous”, I know she’s focused on meeting Akiyuki but I thought her one and only crippled younger sister who’s having her mind and body corrupted right in front of her would’ve been a higher priority. Midori’s intentions (other than “wanting to be able to run” again) remain unclear to me but this can’t end well, for anyone involved. Also, I lol’d at Kakisu’s frustration at Haru’s note. God, you’re an asshole, Commander.

The Zanbani’s on the move again, or at least Raigyo and Ishu (who to be honest are the only characters I really care about of that entire group at the moment) so we’re (shock!) building up to the beginnning of the EndGame here; it seems things’ll be centred around this “Quickening Chamber” we keep hearing about. Akiyuki is… still trying to remember his name. I hope they don’t stay in that retreat for too long as crazy old somehow able to understand the thoughts of EYETOY lady irritates me somewhat.

Episode 19

First off, WTF at Sumako being Kakisu’s mother. Not much else to say there just… kind of a random plot twist, the purpose of which I don’t really understand.

Anyway, Kakisu the asshole’s just complete poisond for Midori and Azami’s prediciotion taht she’ll suffer soon just makes me feel more and more sorry for her. Not only that, but now she knows the reason that Kakisua and whcihever army he’s affiliated with (still not keeping track of who’s on what side or the war or anything) came to make war not peace she’s 1. Got to feel terrible and 2. got to feel trapped because we all know that Kakisu does’t let people go who he considers may be useful “assets.”

Haru’s so awesome in this episode, especially with her SHINBUDO DROP-KICK. It’s also strange to still see comedic relief coming in at this point in the story, especially with all the emo/suicidal momemts that occur in the episode. How will the Zanbani crew deal with their leader leaving them? How the hell should I know?

Meh, Kujireika, Nakiami, sibling rivalry, tension, fight bla blah blah. To be honest, I’m bored with Kujireika after the, what, two episodes she’s been in? I just wish she’d hurry up and go crazy so that someone’ll kill her.

I awwww’d at the field of flowers on the coast. Then at Haru saving Akiyuki through LOVE POWA~~. Then at Akiyuki growing Eureka Wings- wait, WTF?

I’m just going to push that to the back of my mind for future reference. This also marks one of the rare cases where we have events after the credits in Xam’d and I have to thank omo for pointing it out as I had already skipped to the previews before seeing such a CRUCIAL piece of information. Turns out the EYETOY was the Hiruken Emperor who wants Akiyuki to kill him. Duh duh duh….

Oh! Perhaps the Quickening Chamber is the room where the Hiruken Emperor is in isnide that mysterious Tower…

Next Episode

Just realised, that arm looks like that kid’s…

I feel like I deserve a medal for having seen six episodes of SOUL EATER all in one night. 

With two weeks into the summer holidays and Christmas drawing to a near, I must admit that finding the time to watch anime is hardly the problem it used to be. I’ve been enjoying every second of extra sleep and spending money on presents (and myself) as if tomorrow didn’t exist. Alas, this post has got nothing to do with my oh-so wonderful life.

After the rather ridiculous assassin, sent by Arachne to retrieve another of  Eibon’s creations, plunges to his death, the next episode focuses on Chrona betraying Shibusen. Though a decent character she may be, it saddens me to know that she’s under Medusa’s control once again. Even after both Marie and Maka had showed such compassion towards Chrona, I thought that by now she would have learned to stick up for herself. In any case, Chrona deserves more character development than she’s getting. In fact, she hasn’t changed a bit since she first appeared; she’s still hesitant and easily influenced by those around her.

I enjoy watching the plot enfold as Medusa places herself against Shibusen and Arachne, and while everyone believes BREW is in Arachne’s hands, it turns out that Medusa’s the one who really has it all planned out perfectly. I’m beginning to like the relationship shared between Maka and Black Star because there’s actually a much deeper meaning behind the usual “I like you, you like me” bond. It was obvious from the start that Maka held some form of jealousy towards Black Star, but what surprised me was that she admitted it so “early” in the series. I love it how Tsubaki was willing to help Black Star out and after a simple punch to his head, she was satisfied enough to forgive him.

Professor Stein’s insanity continues to rise and the way he laughs just makes me want to poke him. I liked how Soul was playing the piano and sweating profusely while Death the Kid, Black Star and Maka were fighting against Mosquito. It was kind of funny that his legs ending up being too light for his arms that his waist was lifted in the air. Indeed, Marie is a true inspiration and I’m so glad that we’ve been introduced to a new set of side-characters of equal level to Maka’s team. Again, looking forward to what Kid finds out in the next episode.
