Another 04 - Guilty by Association

2012-01-30T20:52:00.001-05:00

Super short post as I am busy this week and hard to right anything without spoiling. While reading manga I knew the nurse was too good to be true. Leading up I was thinking "Wow she is so cooperative and a great girl, I sure hope nothing happens to her." I knew the moment that thought came in my mind she was fucked. Here is to making you like characters and crushing (pun intended) your dreams

Ano Natsu de Matteru 04 - Alphabet Love Comedy

2012-01-30T20:11:00.000-05:00

So what's the best way to respond to a confession? Run away of course. Cue the ensuing awkwardness that usually follows when the answer to said confession is stuck in Limbo. That just adds another staple for romantic comedies to the list. The thing about this show is that it really doesn't add anything innovative to the genre. The execution of the various genre cliches are neither poorly nor

Gundam Age 16 - Balance Hammer Time

2012-01-29T21:29:00.004-05:00

So after our climax last week, we get our long awaited WTF time skip. This time skip was purely to balance out how broken Flint had become. They nerfed him with no explanation as to why nothing happened in the 25 years period. Guess he was to busy crying over Yurin to do anything productive. I guess it isn't all bad, the new main character is much better then Flint is. I didn't expect the

Ice Cream Sandwich on my Nexus S

2012-01-28T23:12:00.001-05:00

So with a bit of fiddling around, I finally decided to work on upgrading my phones look. I ungraded my rom from Cyanogen 7.0 to the new 9.0 that uses the ice cream sandwich as core. Not much has been changed from the stock ICS version being released so quickly but that is no problem. From first impressions, they now have built in VPS, data usage information, battery information, and a

Last Exile Fam 15 - Millia`s Resolve

2012-01-28T20:20:00.000-05:00

Sigh, I hate when they build up some suspense and then skip the best part and go to the resolution. I was looking forward to the Exile V Exile fight, instead we skip the action and go back to the talking. It was nice to see Millia finally acting more like a leader for a second until she loses her composure again. I should have knew better then to expect awesome stuff in this anime D:

Nisemonogatari Ep03: Senjougaharas Wrath

2012-01-28T15:33:00.001-05:00

Ok as you may have noticed, this post only comes out every Saturday. Well, that’s really just because I can’t find any other day within the week to write this post. I’ve got my hands full with college and stuff. And “OkamiSans Weekly Rants” will come put every other week instead because as I’ve mentioned, I quite busy. Moving on… We’ve got a few things going on in this episode. I don’t know

Symphogear 04 - Suicidal Tendencies

2012-01-28T01:15:00.004-05:00

What a rollercoaster of an episode. I was extremly happy to see the battle between the Valkyries wasn't just another fake cliff hanger like they have done every other episode thus far. This made for a good episode to finally unlock a bit more of the past between Kanade and Tsubasa as well as set forth the road to what we are to expect. It was a pretty good episode even if they had very forced

Guilty Crown 14 - Tsugumi Overload

2012-01-26T22:55:00.001-05:00

Well that was an episode I was screaming nope the whole time. This is quickly becoming one of the anime I look forward to every week. Not because it is good, but because it is just so bad it is good. Nothing like a good laugh at this show, I am always wondering what crazy new ass pull they will attempt while trying to remain serious. At least they ended strongly this episode with this Tsugumi

Ano Natsu de Matteru 03 - RomCom Bread and Butter

2012-01-26T21:13:00.000-05:00

A couple days late because of school stuff, sorry. Well, I think it's pretty obvious what the bread and butter is: misunderstandings. I don't really like how the device is used most of the time, because it really doesn't lead us anywhere. Here, I didn't mind it as much because of what we got at the end. Romantic comedies in general are extremely character driven, and I think it's something that

Xbox "720" Rumors and Random Gaming Thoughts

2012-01-26T01:51:00.000-05:00

I know i'm behind on my weekly show postings, but I haven made any gaming related posts in a while, so I figure it's time to post another edition of my random thoughts. For starters, the WiiU is the only console revealed officially out of the three main gaming systems, but we have some info on the next gen Xbox system. After browsing Gamespot and IGN, I found that the new Xbox will

First look at Tera Online

2012-01-26T01:38:00.002-05:00

So I didn't make it very far in JP Tera but enough to get a good feel for it. I might put some more hours into the game this weekend but I don't think so. Currently I reached level 10 where you need level 11 to leave the nubby area (or so I think) and I hit a point where I need to grind out that last level. Here is the guide to playing JP Tera online, only a few days remaining to try it out.

Another 03 - Pointy Umbrellas

2012-01-25T00:25:00.000-05:00

Super late post, I blame playing Tera online, the DDL sites all being gone and Chinese new year family stuff. In Canada, all p2p internet is throttled leaving for slower torrenting during peak hours D: Back to the episode, they quickly picked up the pace quite a bit this episode as things just start rolling down the stairs (har har har). I admit I spoiled myself when I had to know what was

Gundam Age 15 - The Journey to Become Shin

2012-01-23T21:19:00.000-05:00

Being random mechs sucks We finally reach the conclusion of the arc with the destruction of the base. We are finally revealed to the truth of the UE's unknownness. So will they be referred to as KE (known enemies) now? Or are we gonna call them scum because they are Vegans lulz. Regardless, we are clearly steering Gundam in the emo like Shin Asuka route for Flint. He is almost a replica by

Brave 10 - Ep 2 - Still watching it

2012-01-23T04:17:00.004-05:00

He ain't kidding. It looks like Sarutobi will get a a lot of screen time next episode, in what hopes to be an epic battle between him and some sort of snake mistress that can make exploding giant snakes. Well I must say I was not entirely sure I would keep watching Brave 10, but there is one thing about the show that I do enjoy. Although the fighting is OK and cast of characters is decent,

Mirai Nikki Ep 13-14 - Total Psycho

2012-01-23T03:38:00.001-05:00

I have high hopes for Akise's role. Well it has been a while since I have posted anything and hopefully I am able to get back on track with all my shows I am covering. Well for starters, I would consider the recent episodes as a new start for Yukkii, now that Kurusu is gone. With all the attention hogging that Yukkii, Yuno, Kurusu, and Uryuu had in the last little while, it felt nice and

Guide to Playing JP Tera Online!

2012-01-22T03:28:00.001-05:00

Take that Boring Moretsu Pirates this week D: So I came across a guide to play JP Tera but it would only last for 40 hours and limited to January. It is a good chance to try out the game before the CB testing starts for NA and Europe. Official english launch slated to come out in May 1st. You can sign up for the CB for NA here and Europe here. For those that do not know what Tera Online

Last Exile: Fam 14 - A Product of Advanced War Tactics

2012-01-22T01:18:00.002-05:00

Well it was an episode filled with explosions from start to finish. Too bad the episode was spewing with terrible tactics that I could not ignore. It was like they were rushing to show more explosions with little care of how badly the battle was fought. I guess this is what happens when you sell your show with a full female main cast. Who needs logic when you got lolis just flying around

OkamiSans Weekly Rants: Too much good anime for 2012

2012-01-21T21:58:00.003-05:00

So this is where I’ll go ahead and rant about anything that came out within the week and catches my interest. Though some topics might not really be from within the week… However, I’m not gonna talk about Nisemonogatari here since it’s got its own posts. Here we goes~ ---Anime-------------------- Another: I’ve always admired how the Japanese make their horror and thriller films. They know

Symphogear 03 - Falcon Punch

2012-01-21T15:50:00.000-05:00

Symphogear might not be amazing but I do like to see really like the armor that Tsubasa uses. Tack on insert music and it is the perfect recipe to captivate my attention. The only real issue I do constantly notice is the terrible drawing. They take the time to animate it with a good number of frames but the drawing themselves are usually off and it bothers me. I can still get over it though

Nisemonogatari ep2: Fan service explosion!

2012-01-21T15:14:00.001-05:00

By now we all know that Shaft took the best features that made Bakemono and levelled them over 9000. I’ve also noticed that along with those features they took the romance factor from a discrete pace to a very obvious feature. But that’s not all; they even upped an unlikely feature to the series and it being a good or bad thing is something I am yet to determine. Though this episode is clearly

Madoka Android App and other random stuff

2012-01-21T00:58:00.003-05:00

So some random stuff to post up cause I can! I'll do Symphogear post later D: So random post work instead doing grunt work! Yesterday found this awesome app for Android phones. You can find download here. It is pretty well done, and very smooth. If only their was a Homura version. Here is my uploaded version of it, kinda laggy and the sound is a bit off, I need a better video capture

Guilty Clown 13 - Take that 17%

2012-01-20T01:30:00.001-05:00

After our intense episode last week, we got a half baked school festival episode. I was expecting some full blown festival but it was cut short pretty badly. At least we got new OP and ED even if the new ED sucked. It was a decent episode I guess, a short break between arcs is pretty common. I guess it was we got so much Ayasa and Tsugumi screen time that I didn't absolutely hate it.

Another 02 - Nurse Death Flag Raised

2012-01-17T00:41:00.000-05:00

That was a slow start to the episode but picked up pace near the end. I think it is pretty much confirmed now that Misaki is indeed a ghost. The question is why is our main character is the only one that can see her? I still wonder what the actual curse of the class is, they haven't revealed what actually happens. There is still so many questions in this anime, I hope things pan out well.

Ano Natsu de Matteru 02 - Dynamite Drink

2012-01-16T19:34:00.004-05:00

Following how the episode ended last week, this week's installment would obviously follow up with the explanation. But before that, there was a short prologue that showed Ichika moments prior to her crash landing on Earth. Though vauge, I think it's safe to assume that accidentally found the place that she's looking for. Trees and lakes can only mean Earth right? Then again, there have been

Clan Rain's Anime Picks of 2011

2012-01-15T23:21:00.000-05:00

Originally I wanted to expand this further for more genres but due to wanting to include all the authors we will stay limited for this year. We are still a bit too unorganized lately, hopefully we can have more categories for the future. Hopefully this blog will still be alive a few years down the road to have a large archive of these. So it will be very limited this year, it probably won't be
