Birdy The Mighty Decode - Episode 12

Here we are with just one episode to go!

Tsutomu decides instead of rescuing Nakasugi he's going to stay at home and play video games... I can't blame him too much though, it's either that or lead those who want to kill her right to her location. Meanwhile git face Shyamalan is getting off on drugging minors, the creepy bastard, thankfully the idiot gets everything he deserves.

Overall the first episode was really exciting, and it was so great to see Tsutomu grow some balls and go after Nakasugi, but then we knew from the outset that he was going to do it anyway.

One more to go next week, then a break until January with another 13 episodes! Can't wait.

I'm sure we're due for some more Bamboo Blade soon as well, that would be awesome.

I hate to say it but lately I've been getting into Sonic X. I don't know why, ah it's probably just because I'm a huge Sonic fan.

Okay, they did it again. They referred to Mars as the Seventh planet in our system. That doesn't work at all. While Pluto was the Ninth planet at the time, Mars would be either the sixth (If you count from the farthest to closest, and count Pluto), or the fourth.

Zentradi need to work on their math.

Hmm so Seibertron is finally up and working. Good to see everything turned out alright. Haven't been up to much in the anime or Manga department, mostly making a list for Christmas on the stuff that im going to try to pick up. Mostly Manga with a few animes. Hopefully going to try to see Blood Trinity in order, one of my fav Vampire animes/mangas aside from Vampire hunter D.

Trinity Blood was pretty cool, the story stopped oh so abruptly though. I always find myself wishing there was a bit more magic to it though, rather than everything being so technology oriented, but that's a silly nitpick of mine that has almost no relevance to what is otherwise a pretty nifty show.

My only real problem with Trinity Blood was that they occasionally used CGI in places where traditional animation would have worked just fine, or even better.

Other than that, I never really got into the series.

I haven't finished it yet but i find myself in love with the setting of the show and not to mention Abel is one of my fav characters: "One Milk Tea with 13 spoonfuls of sugar please!"

To be honest, Abel was MUCH cooler when he wasn't doing all that Crusnik bollocks. When he was in his human body that was when he was at his best. :D

I recently finished Strike Witches and I’ll say this one was certainly a surprise. The story was very cute and well done, characters were nice, and it’s also had the best animation from GONZO I’ve seen in awhile. Truly a little more than I was expecting.

So, am I alone or did any of ya’ll watch this one? I’m fearing it’s the former…

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - Episode 11

This episode was silly. Every time I see Haruka's sister I want to punch her, I don't quite understand why that is though. :lol: >_>; Maybe she just looks annoying.

I feel a little bad for Yuuto though, he seems like he's realizing for the first time just how big the gap is between his and Haruka's lifestyle. Nevermind, Yuuto! You shall prevail, of this I am certain, for you are the main character, and you cannot lose unless the writers decide to destroy the world. But this is not Evangelion, nor is it Gilgamesh. So I think you'll be quite safe. Fight on, Yuuto!

The old man who appeared was awesome though. I'm certain he's going to end up being Haruka's grandfather or something. :P

Omg... Haruka you are so yummy... I just want to eat you. With a fork. Yes, I'd just like to stick a fork in there. I'm certain it would be hot and juicy. Am I creeping anyone out yet? Good. I love my euphemisms. I also love my Euphemi~isms, but that's a different story for a different thread.

If they keep glowing red like that they're going to evaporate the ocean.

A rival suitor for Haruka appears! Even though we know he has no chance at all with her. :P Haruka would look really nice in that dress though. =P~

Those "foreign accents" the VA's put on are terrible, I always get a good laugh out of them, but so far no one has topped "David Rice" from Neuro.

Last episode next week. I don't want it to end. I want it to go on forever. =(

World Destruction - Episode 12

I am impressed once again by how much I like this story, I really want to play the game so badly. It had better see an English release!

Today we learn how truly miserable Morute's childhood actually was. I feel so bad for her. This way though I can understand how she could have become jaded so much as to want to destroy the world.

One thing I don't quite get though is why Kirie was seeing the memories of Morute's brother. It's all a bit confusing... I hope they explain it in more detail later on.

No Lia in this episode though. =(

Next week is the last episode though, goddammit! Can't it just go on for... I dunno... another forty five episodes? Please?

Nobody said you had to leave. But if you want to expand on your Sailor Moon obsession you should do it in a place where people actually care about Sailor Moon, because you won't find many of them here.

As he said, Sailor Moon and Transformers are entirely different demographics. Sailor Moon is aimed at young girls, while Transformers is aimed at young boys, and, in the case of the IDW comics, and a lot of the stuff you won't find on toy-store shelves, teenage or adult males.

Ah, hell. Bleach on Adult Swim just went back all the way to Episode 59, in the damn Soul Society Arc. That's like a million episodes ago!

And what's worse, is that this is the exact same thing as YuYu Hakusho; near the climax of one story, they go all the way back to a previous one.

If I remember right, the Bounts were using that juice thing to power up, and Kisuke was telling Uryu how to get his Quincy powers back.

The episode last night, Byakuya used his Massacre Scene Bankai against Ichigo, so they were still in that fight.

I think what was going on was that somebody won some kind of a sweepstakes, so that person got to choose what episodes they wanted to appear on adultswim last night. It explains why the order was switched around and why Death Note just randomly appeared again. :|

Don't take my word on that though. >>

Ah, I didn't know that was last night. It was a bit odd just to jump into the middle of Ichigo's fight with Byakuya, but it makes sense, because those were some random episodes of Death Note, Cowboy Bebop and everything. And I even noticed they didn't show everything twice like normal.
