Kazuya, you’ve gone too far (Photokano ep. 04)

IMOUTO


Of course I have nothing much to expect from this anime, as opposed to Amagami. However that does not stop me from enjoying the ‘services’ it offers. What troubles me however is I think Kazuya is starting to be like a jerk by taking advantage of Muroto’s “illicit entry” again and again.

I thought it would be over when Muroto agreed to become his photography subject but turned out it’s not over yet. He then used it to save his sister from her and Nonoka, and another time he forced her to do his homework. I actually tolerated it when he ‘saved’ his sister but then when he went to force Muroto to do his homework, I felt like punching him.

Yuko Uchida. That's probably how she'd look like without those bangs covering her eyes.

Well he somehow had his ‘karma’ at the end of the episode but honestly I think it was not enough. He doesn’t look like he regretted it and in fact he seemed to be enjoying it. Man I wish he could take a harder lesson for what he have done to Muroto-senpai.

Best girl so far? At least for me.

Regarding Aki Muroto, I don’t know why but she started to become my most favorite character in this show. It’s not because she is a meganekko but most likely because of her personality. So far, although she does not always appear in every scene, it seems like her personality is the most polished among all female characters in this show. Maybe other characters will have their time, after all only 4 episodes aired so far but for now it’s still Muroto for me.

If I was a ‘Gargantian’….

Panties



Suisei no Gargantia ep. 04

Panties

Panties

So what if I were to be in Ledo’s shoes? With Chamber having the vast library of knowledge I think there would be loads of stuff I could do without using the overwhelming fighting power alone. You see how the Gargantian are harvesting electricity from the ocean, collecting rain water human consumption, etc. I mean there are tons of stuff Ledo could do to help them.

In case you missed Amy's panties in the OP.

In case you missed Amy’s panties in the OP.

If I was him (after ‘annihilating’ those pirates) the first thing I’d do is to teach the Gargantian how to harvest power from the sun and the wind because they surely can’t rely on the electric-storing plankton forever. Then they could use the power to process the ocean water to become human-consumable. I’m not sure though if Ledo is aware that Chamber is capable of doing this or not but seeing that he never saw the rain or ocean before then I guess there’s a little possibility that he could think in the same way as I do.

Basically what happened in this episode is that Ledo is now welcomed in the Gargantia but instead of just providing the Gargantian with ‘fish’ in exchange of ‘fresh water’, Ledo is also required to ‘work’ for them in return for a shelter (though he was specifically required to do so to repay for the damage he’s done to the hangar in the ep. 01). How long he’s going to work with them, I guess there no answer other than until he managed to contact the Alliance or death comes first.

In this episode Ledo started to learn about how human live their life on Earth, which was very contradicting to his way of life in the Alliance. Not only he learned about their life, he also started to learn more about the meaning of his own life. At this point this show has started to feel heartwarming but I can never put my mind off guard though knowing that this is Gen Urobuchi who is behind it.

I am interested in knowing how big is Gargantia. Apparently it’s much bigger than the currently largest carrier, maybe as big as the largest iceberg ever recorded in human history? I remember back then reading about an iceberg having a visible surface area larger than Belgium. I hope there will be some hints for that in future episodes. BTW it seems that the next episode will be a mizugi episode (this anime is already an ocean show so it’s inevitable anyway). I’m looking forward to that as well, obviously :P

With consent from the MILF mother, why not?

I’ve decided, Azusa is the best girl so far. She acts like an ojou-sama when she is not, but she doesn’t bitching around and does not act like a jerk. In fact she’s just a normal and ‘fragile’ girl on the inside that makes me want to ‘pet’ her all day long.

Long story short Youto has regained his façade after Azusa has gave up hers. One interesting stuff was revealed however, where Tsukiko and Youto actually have met each other in the past, except that Youto still don’t know that masked girl was Tsukiko. It still doesn’t change my mind though that Azusa is still the best girl so far. Anyway enjoy Azusa’s delicious tears below. You might need it.

OreImo 2 ep. 04

Meet Ria, Kirino's roommate cum rival back in the USA.

Meet Ria, Kirino’s roommate cum rival back in the USA.

This is perhaps the first time I think an OreImo episode is watchable despite Kirino was showing her bitchiness inside. It’s true that Kirino still shows her bitchiness in this episode but somehow I think it was toned down in comparison to previous episodes/season. Even better was Kyousuke had the balls to talk back to Kirino and she didn’t hit him for talking back to her. For me that was a good development.

Still a bitch but it looks like she didn't go overboard this time.

Still a bitch but it looks like she didn’t go overboard this time.

The best part about this episode was I got to see Kirino’s pantsu once again (the last time was in the first season) though I didn’t expect it was a shimapan. I wish I could see Kuroneko’s as well though I can only hope for that. BTW I think there are a few problems with Ria, Kirino’s roommate from the time when she was in the US.  First, I think she fails as a moe character (American and moe don’t mix) and second, being an American she doesn’t have what it’s required to become a moe character (oh wait am I just rephrasing the same thing?).

American? Sorry, I failed to see the 'America' in her.

American? Sorry, I failed to see the ‘America’ in her.

Sorry if I sound racist. I take back what I said above. Any race can become moe but moe doesn’t mean you have to do everything silly and childish. It doesn’t have to be deliberate. If you want to show moe at least make it natural so that it would be more acceptable. Anyway let’s not prolong that so enjoy more Kirino’s pantsu below.

Clash of The Philosophies

At least she's sexy.



Suisei no Gargantia ep. 03

Random 'diagram' showing you the characters' age (female only).

Random ‘diagram’ showing you the characters’ age (female only).

After watching the first 2 episodes I thought this show was going to be a straight good vs. evil anime. I even ready to complain about the absence of philosophy but then ep. 03 arrived. I am glad that philosophy was there and from now on things are going to be more interesting and even nasty.

Basically what happened in ep. 03.

Basically what happened in ep. 03. Hypocrite much?

In my previous reviews I did say that I have no real complain about this show, until I watched ep. 03. I’m not complaining about the story itself but about the Gargantian’s stupidity in judging Led’s action against the pirates. They were clearly at disadvantages and outnumbered back then and I believe killing was the most effective measure in order to turn the tide because those pirates already hijacked the excavator ship. Even if he didn’t kill them they would have taken Bellows and her crews hostage or threaten to hurt/kill them to force Ledo and Gargantian army to back off.

Lady 'Rackage' and here 'slaves'. I guess she also have the male crews as her sex slaves?

Lady ‘Wreckage’ and here ‘slaves’. I guess she also have the male crews as her sex slaves?

Upon hearing Bellows’ explanation later, it came to my understanding that it almost sounds like they were willing to be kidnapped as long as the pirates spare the rest. Isn’t that stupid? In the end I still think killing was the most reasonable action and in fact it could scare the pirates so that they won’t touch them anymore as Led alone has enough power to destroy them in an instant. That said Ledo’s action has my support, in the light that once he started something he has to finish it. Wipe all the pirates once and for all.

Looks like those 'slaves' weren't really enslaved; they'd fight under her command!

Looks like those ‘slaves’ weren’t really enslaved; they’d fight under her command!

Anyway let’s get back to the story. After giving it much thought they allowed Ledo to help them again and with that they managed to defeat the pirates fleet although they could have avoided the unnecessary battle had them allowed Ledo to finish those pirates sooner. Now I’m only worrying about Chamber (Ledo’s mecha) having faulty parts though that is very unlikely to happen because from how it looks like, it is capable of self-maintenance.

Lady 'Rackage' inside her own mecha. Of course it's no match to Chamber no matter how advanced it is over other 'yunboroids'.

Lady ‘Wreckage’ inside her own mecha. Of course it’s no match to Chamber no matter how advanced it is over other ‘yunboroids’.

Come to think of it this show reminds me of a completely unrelated show, none other but my all-time favorite, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Both shows are written by Gen Urobuchi, and somehow, similar to Madoka Magica, I think Suisei no Gargantia also took 3 episodes to display its real ‘face’. Knowing how Urobuchi I must expect to see something similar to what I experienced in Madoka Magica.

At least she's sexy.

At least she’s sexy. I wonder what’s her real name? ‘Wreckage’ (as with her capability to turn fleets into shipwrecks?) or ‘Rackage’ (because she got awesome ‘racks’?). Whatever.

{Review} OreImo 2 ep. 03 – The best OreImo episode so far

Saori is really a model-like beauty.


After the worse (if not the worst) episode last week I finally got to see the best OreImo episode that I think none of the episodes from the first season could come close to this. One of the biggest things in this series happened in this episode and it was merrier with more characters although those are just minor characters. Anyway this was really enjoyable and it was perhaps the first OreImo episode I could watch repeatedly (something that never happened before).

Saori is really a model-like beauty.

Saori is really a model-like beauty (complete with a tall body).

The ‘best’ and the biggest thing I’m talking about earlier was I finally got to see Saori’s real face after so many years waiting (since the first season was aired to be exact). I know she is beautiful as many official and ‘unofficial’ artworks have suggested but those are nothing if compared to the anime version. I even got to see the loli version of her and witnessed her bittersweet past that eventually turned her into an otaku as we know her today.

Loli Saori.

Loli Saori.

Other than that this episode brought back Kuroneko after her absence last week though she wasn’t having significant role in this episode. Also Kirino’s bitchiness was absent as well, which is very much welcomed (if only they could keep it this way). Now I want to see more of Saori’s real face (not that I hate her otaku appearance but I personally prefer to see her like this).

{1st Review} Kakumeiki Valvrave & Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince

At least there's a sexy nurse to cheer me up.


This review is written based only on the aired episodes so far (2 episodes for Kakumeiki Valvrave and 3 episodes for Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince)

The time has come for me to write a review for the remaining 2 mecha anime for this season. Just to remind you I already written a review for the best mecha anime so far in this season, which is Suisei no Gargantia. Actually Kakumeiki Valvrave could become the no. 1 mecha anime, beating Suisei no Gargantia but there are problems with this show which I’m about to tell you.

This could be a harem but I'm not sure how is that possible in a warring state.

This could be a harem but I’m not sure how is that going to be possible in a warring state.

Kakumeiki Valvrave is mostly about war between 2 human powers, but that is not the problem. It was all fine until I saw a bunch of brats infiltrating a school in a neutral, non-aligned nation to recover the Valvrave machine, making me think “Why the eff they’re using brats?”. It didn’t end there, I was enraged seeing Haruto wasting too much time struggling in doing something that he was capable of doing faster.

Still no idea who this was but what really disturbs me is there are more Valvrave machines out there.

I still have no idea who this was but what really disturbs me is there are more Valvrave machines out there.

If I were to consider this a romance mecha anime like Aquarion, then maybe it’s good enough but the “wasting time” part is seriously destroying it. And WTF with the end of the episode 02, where he suddenly backed off from confessing to Shoko, after he was doing everything to avenge her ‘death’? Please, I don’t want to see another person having the “Sayaka Miki syndrome” of not to pursue romantic ambition just because he consider himself a ‘monster’.

The noisy, childish and desperate (for a boyfriend) oppai girl.

The noisy, childish and desperate (for a boyfriend) oppai girl.

Now let’s move on to Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince, a show about a bunch of idiots being entrusted with the tasks of protecting humanity from alien threats. Well calling them idiots maybe is too much because ‘losers’ might fit their nature well, because they were too reckless in their training. Nobody in their right mind would let them do the important mission unless it’s meant for a suicide.

At least there's a sexy nurse to cheer me up.

At least there’s a sexy nurse to cheer me up.

It was in episode 03 that I finally realized that those losers actually have capabilities exceeding normal human, at least in their DNA. The Julia System that powered their mecha relies on the survival instinct where those idiots have the stronger will to survive than most people. However as of current state they still have no idea on how to control it, and even worse they have their memories erased when they joined the military academy to prepare them solely as the fighting machine.

One thing I notice in the above anime is that the heavy emphasis on social media, which makes me think what would the world of social media look like in the future. Utilizing it is fine but in Valvrave it makes me wonder how the heck did those people still have a the time to use it in the middle of a war? In Majestic Prince it helped in spreading the news of those losers as the new heroes, also contributed to naming them “Majestic Prince” which is wrongly derived from “MJP”, the name of their military academy.

The utilization of social media makes the above anime feels like they’re really close to our real life today where social media plays a major role in our everyday life. It’s something that has been missing in many futuristic and cyberpunk anime of the past, such as Cowboy Bebop and Ghost In The Shell. BTW Ghost In The Shell will have a new series too so I expect it will feature more influence of social media, because after all most part of the story involves projecting consciousness into data network or something.

{2nd Review} Photokano, all aired episodes revisited

A klutz and also an airhead but is a formidable enemy when it comes to cooking.


Lucky bastard (and there goes their first kiss).

Lucky bastard (and there goes their first kiss).

After three episodes aired I realized that this anime is somehow lacking of Amagami didn’t. I can’t really tell what it is but one thing I’m really sure is I’m mostly hooked to this show for its fanservice (or fetish?) while the story doesn’t really attract me. I’m not sure how it is in the game so it’s hard to put the blame whether to the original story or the bad anime adaptation.

Me so jelly.

Me so jelly.

Looking back at the aired episodes I must say that I’m disappointed that Kazuya joined the photography club instead of the photo club. If I was him I’d join the photo club not because out of sympathy but I think the photo club is more philosophically aligned with photography itself. The photography club on the other hand looks like they are ‘using’ photography as a tool to please themselves rather than doing the actual photography.

A klutz and also an airhead but is a formidable enemy when it comes to cooking.

A klutz and an airhead but is a formidable enemy when it comes to cooking.

Although Kazuya seems to be having more “shutter chance” opportunities since he joined the club I found none of them could be attributed to the club assisting him. In fact it looks like the club is more interested in taking advantage of his connections and luck with the girls instead of actually helping to find his subjects. The only good thing about him joining them is now he knows the club’s “evil strategies” and with that knowledge he could stop them or protect the girls from fallen victim to the club.

The only member of the cooking 'club'.

The only member of the cooking ‘club’.

So far he has been true to his intention and has never took pictures to that could make him a pervert. Three episodes has passed but I feel this show is kind of slow in introducing the characters so I’m not sure how will they (the studio) will handle that before the season ends. Also I’m still waiting for something that I could learn about photography from this show, not really about the details but some tips and tricks would do it.

A little about episode 03, as you can see above Kazuya and Nonoka ‘kissed’ from an ‘accident’. With that I expect him to kiss every other girl. I’m not sure though how is Niimi going to react to this because it looks like she is the one who wants to keep him to herself the most. This episode also introduced us to Rina Yunoki at a deeper level but I don’t know how is she going to become a photography subject, unless Kazuya is going to see her in her swimsuit again. And remember in the episode 02 where Kazuya caught Muroto during her “illicit entry” into school? I didn’t really expect he would use that to ‘blackmail’ her into becoming his photography subject though I somehow could see that coming. However even more surprising is she submitted to his ‘pressure’. She proves to be a very good subject too and managed to do sexy poses almost naturally, as if she was prepared to do that. Just look at the screenshots below and you’ll understand what I say.

[Anime-Koi] Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge - 03 [h264-720p][25BD9DF4].mkv_snapshot_13.25_[2013.04.18_23.08.05]


Yesterday I ‘complained’ about how Red Data Girl wasn’t up to my expectation. Let me stress it again, the show was good but I wanted some ‘shounen’ feeling to it, because we’re talking about a ‘war’ between gods here. Good thing Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge was also out on the same day so I had something to watch to make up for what Red Data Girl failed to give me.

Funny face.

Funny face.

Yes, I’m talking about this show having real fighting with blood and death, though not in the definition of being gory like Mirai Nikki, and I prefer it to be this way. Kiri has finally shown his ‘manly’ part by defeating another Author (Killing Good owner) to protect Iwai, and was able to resist the murder instinct in him. Iwai on the other hand has shown her ‘womanly’ part. How ‘womanly’ if you ask me? Just look at the screenshots below.

Iwai-chan in this episode is full of WIN! Not only she had twintail (probably for the first time in her life) but also made this episode better to be called as Dansai Bunri no Crime Ecchi!

Shrine maiden dance was necessary to ‘get’ rid of a certain hostile god.

The reason I think this episode is better than the first two is because Sagara is no longer ‘hostile’ towards Izumiko. However I was hoping that his attitude would change when Izumiko ‘defeated’ (or ‘punished’) him because I believe every asshole in anime needs to learn a lesson they’d remember instead of becoming a good person just like that. They have to pay something for their ‘assholeness’ and if they are not they I won’t be satisfied.

Yeah this could be a better episode but I don’t like how Izumiko resorting into using diplomacy against the wrath of the mountain god who took an appearance as Wamiya, her schoolmate. Maybe it’s a good thing since none of them (Izumiko and Sagara) could afford to fight but I’d  prefer there to be some kind offensive or resistance against that ‘god’. Actually I believe Izumiko could do anything if she will it so I think defeating Wamiya shouldn’t have been a problem at all. After all Wamiya is also another asshole who also needs to be defeated.

Yeah yeah it all turned out good in the end but still this is not what I want. It doesn’t mean I want to see blood or enjoy violence but sometimes I think hostility towards somebody who bullies you is necessary to teach them that they should not mess with anybody just because they think they have the power to do so. Yes, I am aware that this show wasn’t mean to please me alone but to think and say that it could be better is my reserved right.
