Shingeki no Kyojin episode 5: The Colossal Titan has somewhat the magic to appear and disappear whenever they wanted to. Eren was about to attack the god damn motherfucker when it's disappeared and it seemed like they are quite intelligent. Since the wall has been breached, all the soldiers are required to stand guard. Most of them died, even Eren. Yes, Eren was eaten at the end of the episode. I can't fucking wait to see what Misaka would do. The only reason I'm not panicky is my friend Mulo has already spoiled me about Eren so I somewhat knew what to expect next and why my fujoshi friends are so into the Titans XD

Chrona versus a death scythe in chapter 83 of Soul Eater. Frodo and Comrade Tzar lost the fight and got caught in the madness. Stein brought Maka, Soul, and Kim to Moscow to check out what's going on. Maka and Soul tried to bring back the death scythe from madness but to no avail. Instead, Soul was caught in the madness as well because of the wound he got from his previous fight with the Black Blood. In chapter 84, Stein used Jacqueline to fight off Soul while being hugged by Kim and Maka. LOL he is so popular with the girls. While they fight, Soul was fighting within himself to gain control and of course he has no problem in doing so. As they were busy in Moscow, Chrona has taken over a town in Ukraine with her black blood.

Hmm, why does Soul always have to act all cool and stuff? Sometimes it's a turn off.

Yay new chapter of Hyakko! Chapter 43: Ah but who the hell is Alice? I must have forgotten all about her and for some unknown reason the mangaka thought that she deserved a chapter that's all about her. I'm pissed off to be honest because I just want to read about Torako and that dude that has a crush on her ww.

Ah no wonder Hyakko's update is so late. The mangaka has a new manga in progress: Abnormal-kei Joshi. I decided to check it out and man, this manga is all over the place but in a good way... I think? It's about this guy Shinya who dislikes girls but have them throwing themselves at him. One is a masochist, another is a stalker, a serial killer, a sleeping beauty and a protective knight. However, he's a sister-con and to add to the plot twist, his sister's teacher is a rapist and murderer and he's aiming Mei, his sister, to be his next target.

Episode 6 of Shingeki no Kyojin is dedicated to Mikasa's flashback, of how she became so cold and so attached to Eren. Well, I can't blame Mikasa. If I was her, I would have fallen head over heals over Eren too. He's so manry www.

Aku no Hana episode 2: Takao picked up Saeki's gym's uniform and brought it home. Nakamura, the girl sitting behind his desk apparently saw what he did and thus Takao's nightmarish days begin. I just fucking love Nakamura. She's so fucking eccentric she reminded me of me LOL

Wednesday, May 15

Episode 3 of Aku no Hana: Nakamura is awesome. She stripped down Takao inside the library and forced him to wear Saeki's uniform. Seriously, Takao was absolutely naked. LOL. Then she forced him to spend the rest of his after school with her. At the end of the episode, someone from the class lost her lunch money and everybody accused Nakamura. Somewhat, Takao has developed this feelings, whatever it may be, and so he defended Nakamura. Now everyone thinks he has a crush on her. Oh I really hope that is the case to be honest.

Lets continue with episode 4 of Aku no Hana, shall we? I think I'm in love with Nakamura. Her psychotic persona really resonates with me. I was thrilled when all she did was smile when she caught Saeki agreeing to go on a date with Takao on Sunday. That night, she stalked him at his house, dragged him a round town, gave him a slap across the face just to ensure that Takao will meet her before the date. Wanna know what she did? She asked him to wear Saeki's uniform underneath his clothes. Man, she's awesome like that XD

Thursday, May 16

Aku no Hana episode 5: All Nakamura did is instill some evil thoughts into Takao's mind and then she waited to see how he reacted to such evil thoughts. This time, she wanted Takao to kiss Saeki before the date ended but Takao asked Saeki to go steady instead. In her frustration, she threw a bucket of water over Takao's head and with the wet shirt, obviously Saeki can see her gym tee underneath. In order not to let her see it, Takao fled and went to meet Nakamura. After some persuasion, Nakamura decided that it would be amusing to see how shit will turn out between Takao and Saeki so she gonna sit back and enjoy the show.

Episode 6 of Aku no Hana: Nakamura spreads her evilness towards Saeki as well. She told Takao that Saeki wanted to have sex. Obviously Takao will start imagining some erotic stuff, that pervert. Hah!

Bleach: Chapter 504

2013-05-17T19:54:00.004+08:00

So... this chapter is pretty much about the old fart reminiscing about his dead assistant. We get to see Choujirou's bankai which isn't much (o be honest, I can't really tell what it is...). It was being used by the bad guy against the old fart but the old fart quickly ended it with his own attack. Pfft weak chapter is weak.

Shingeki no Kyojin episode 3: Eren, Mikasa and the rest of them got their training to become a soldier. At first, Eren looks so pathetic for not being able to hang from the belt but then it was revealed that he got a faulty equipment. So suddenly everyone was in awe with him. But meh, I'm not impressed. I am impressed however, with Miss Potato. I think she's awesome and made of win.

In episode 4 of Shingeki no Kyojin, they graduated and Eren, Mikasa, and their fellows decided to join the Recon Corp. But of course, the rest joined the Military Police because they thought they would have it easy. Little did they know that on the next day, the titans are back. Eren and the rest got to experience them first hand as they were at the wall when the Colossal Titan broke the gate. At the end of the episode, I feel I was mentally raped by this episode. I'm loving it.

For some reason I believe there will be traps in this show. Don't even ask me how the fuck did I get that idea because I don't even know. It all came to mind when I saw the synopsis when I wrote the preview. However, the thoughts of traps kind of make me excited to check this show out so here hoping that there will be traps, regardless.

Ah shit, no traps.

Ah shit, halfway through the episode I was bored as fuck so I decided to stop watching. I don't care about Yui either.

This show is about "curing" Hikigaya, who is an anti-social. He was forced to join the "service club" where Yuki is the one giving the service to better the humanity and change the world. She's blessed but has become victim of jealousy so she's pretty much a loner now. I don't buy that crap even for a second. I just think she's ungrateful.

But on different note, Yui is cute and I hope she ends up with Hikigaya. Ah crap, I already have an OTP for this show >_>

Anyway, regardless, this show brought up some interesting issue. Why do people feel the need to change other people just so they conform to your belief of what is acceptable by society? By wanting a person to change, s/he is no longer him/herself. Isn't that messed up? Some people, no matter how weird they are, are comfortable in their own skin. They don't need to be saved. So before you wave your finger pointing at them, asked yourself if you're comfortable in your own skin. Is it you who need saving?

I might saving this for later days. At the moment, it is just not something that I want to watch.

All fujoshi rejoice when Kyoto Animation announced Free!

2013-04-28T17:05:00.002+08:00

First they gave us this:

When everyone said that KyoAni was only teasing us fujoshi, we pray hard that it isn't so. Thanks to that, few days ago, KyoAni made an announcement that caused severe nosebleed and constant orgasm to fujoshi all around the world.

Are you ready to fap, girls?

Episode 3 of Karneval: Nai got a check up and declared by the doctor that he is in fact is not human. Anyhoo, during his treatment, he dreamed of Karoku who told him to leave Gareki if he wants him safe and well which Nai did once he wake up. But meh, like Gareki would let that happened. It does seems like Karoku is picking up a fight with Gareki after all. Towards the end of the episode, they went to Niji forest where Nai supposedly live. They were attacked and Gareki was taken away. It was obvious that they targeted him since the beginning, whoever THEY are.

Someone is indeed targeting both Maou and Emi. She got a threatening call in episode 3 of Hataraku Maou-sama! That person is still unknown at this point in time though. On different note, Maou has a date with Chiho who told him about the voices she heard that warned her about the incoming "earthquake". Emi and Asiel stalked them and somehow caught in the earthquake as well. Those earthquake is actually some magic field or something. That's how Maou got his demon look back. Emi was tempted to finish him off but when Maou said he's saving people, Emi was pretty much in shock. Well yeah, I don't blame her. It is rather suspicious at how nice Maou is given that he's the Lord Satan and all... by the way, he's a fan on Uniqlo LOL

suspicious indeed

Happy birthday Jebat.

Red Data Girl episode 5: Dorama between Miyuki and Izumiko again. But before that, Sadao and his twin dead brother settled the shit with Takayanagi. I feel sorry for that bastard but he deserved it. Anyhoo, Miyuki's dad become a part-time lecturer at the school which relieved Miyuki from his duty. Miyuki being a tsundere decided not to have anything to do with Izumiko but once he learned where she was towards the end of the episode, he came running. Himegami showed up and warned Miyuki not to let her appear again otherwise humanity will go extinct and she will be the cause for that. There is certainly romance in the air between these two protagonists. I love Miyuki's last words: "Suzuhara... your lips are so red."

I read a lot about this show on twitter but I somewhat managed to filter them out and so I an sitting here without any expectation whatsoever. Lets hope it can blow my socks away which is going to be a feat since I am not really a fan of mecha to begin with.

Well, the good thing about this show is, I can not give a fuck about the mecha because the villains, those damn bad sadistic boys, are what makes this show interesting for me. Haruto? Valvrave? I don't give a shit.

I like the fact that L-Elf is one cold blooded murderer. He and his boys are the reason I'm going to continue watching this show.

By the way, I do not appreciate the fact that Haruto turned into Sparkling Edward at the end. What the fuck is that bullshit?

Hataraku Maou-sama episode 2: Emi is living the same kind of life as Maou. She has jobs and friends to get by. Thank goodness that she didn't turn out to be annoying bitch. In fact she gives more punch to the show. She's conflicted with her job as Hero to slain and kill Maou but since she has no one in this world, these two become somewhat friends. I LOL'd when she first came to Maou's house, sniffing and such. Oh by the way, looks like there are other people who knew of their real identity. Someone tried to snipe both Emi and Maou and those earthquake... well, they aren't really earthquake and seems like they are targeting the people around Maou, starting with Chiho, his mate from MgRonald. Haha

Episode 2 of Shingeki no Kyojin: The Titans have breached the two walls. So all the humans took refuge in the third wall. 10,000 people were eaten. Eren changed. He's determined as fuck to kill the Titans now. I can't blame him. I feel the same way as he does. Otherwise, might as well just called yourself a livestock instead of a person. He, Armin and Misaka enrolled to the army the next year and thus their training begins.

Saturday, April 20

Red Data Girl episode 4:We met Izumiko's room mate and her twin brother. I like them almost instantly. We also met the asshole Takayanagi who is a sorcerer and used homunculus to attack Izumiko. Thank goodness Sagara is around. Takayanagi even lured Izumiko and the others to open a website that he put a deadly curse on, which injured Mayura. So now Sagara and Manatsu, together with Masumi are going to deal with Takayanagi for vengeance.

I cried alone most of the time because I don't want to be vulnerable. But the truth is everyone want someone who they can cling to and be consoled. Uguuu~ www

First Impression: Hataraku Maou-sama!

2013-04-16T13:15:00.001+08:00

In the preview, I already put this show in my anishit list. The kind of comedy portrayed in the synopsis is never really what I look for in anime. So I'm gonna watch this with that knowledge in mind and perhaps I will be biased towards this shit. I do hope that they managed to prove me wrong though just so that I can feel that joy of watching anime with good honest humor.

And guess what, it is rare that an animu can proved me wrong. This show however, did it. The start of the first episode already grabbed my attention with the blood and killing and what not. Then comes the characters who look so badass and then so normal few minutes later but the transition was smooth and was explained in quite satisfactory details that it suddenly made sense.

Maou and his servant Ashiya are demons. Maou is the Lord Satan. They were forced to retreat by Hero Emi and swear to seek revenge. When Maou opened the portal, it somewhat brought them to Japan and their badass personas were gone, replaced by human-like form. Well at least Maou looks like a delicious shouta so you won't hear me complaining about that XD

I like the fact that the show showed how they tried to get used to this world. The foreign language made me LOL and from then on, it was good all over.

Having said that, I'm not sure about Hero Emi just yet. I hope she won't ruined this show too much.

I am glad I decided to check out all the anime before dismissing it. It's when you enjoy a show that you have no hopes or expectations for that made all the difference.

This show is getting an upgrade. It is no longer in the anishit list.

K episode 5: Every time I see Kuro, I feel like slapping him with a dead fish. How the fuck can he be so nonchalant. I'm so disappointed in him. As the red and blue team go to the school to find Yashiro, he, Kuro and Neko go out of the school to buy some fireworks. The episode gets far more interesting when Fushimi looking for a fight with Yata and actually did fight only to be interrupted by Seri. After that fight, I am not a fan of Fushimi anymore. Anyhoo, none of them managed to find Yashiro and turned out he is not a student at the school at all.

oh but that megane... hhhnnngggh :3

Episode 2 of Karneval: They have identified the bad guy as Varuga. They want Nai, as do Circus. Thankfully Yogi/Circus managed to get to them first though they didn't give up trying to get Nai. Karoku is still alive though he looks like he was injured or something. I still can't remember whether he's a bad guy or not. It's good that I can't remember shit though, making watching the anime somewhat more enjoyable since I don't know what to expect.

This show is produced by Production I.G. That is enough reason for me to check this out. Besides, reading the synopsis at MAL, it seems like the kind of shows that Production I.G. is good at producing so this ought to be somewhat satisfying. Well, at least I hope so.

And after 24 minutes of sitting here watching the show, I have only two words to say: HOLY FUCK.

Kudos Production I.G. Kudos.

They managed to produced some REALLY GOOD SHIT in one episode of anime. It was mind blowing experience. So good man, so good.

I refused to spoil anything in this first impression post. This show deserved to be watched and appreciated, not read.

It is now in my MUST WATCH list for this season.

First Impression: Date A Live

2013-04-12T12:44:00.000+08:00

This could be the first harem show of the season for me. I have never been kind with harem show and I have a feeling that I might end up raging a lot watching this first episode of Date A Live. But lets not jump to conclusion. Let's go prove that I am right, shall we?

Well... technically I wasn't wrong. It has not turned out as I expected it to be. There isn't any harem to begin with, well at least not obvious harem but there is some flying girls with big swords and big guns. I was totally at lost.

As always, the stupidest male gets to be the protagonist of the show and surrounded by females of different boobs size. Goes to show that world is not fair, even in animu. Somehow his younger sister is a commander of a battle ship that fought or try to eliminate spirits that common people thought was spacequake.

Yeah, stupid as fuck.

Which mean I won't be watching the rest of the show.

Having said that, the assistant commander, that masochist guy, made me LOL'd.

2013-04-11T14:44:00.002+08:00

I know of this series through the manga. The manga is full of bishies so naturally as a fujoshi it quickly becomes one of my favorite manga to read until the day came when I stopped reading manga because I was too busy. So somewhat the series was forgotten. So I'm glad that they decided to make an anime out of it!

Well, that feeling of glad doesn't lasted very long. Half way through the first episode I was at lost. I blame it all on myself because I cannot remember anything that I've read from the manga. The only thing I remember are the characters and Circus. Other than that, nada.

So, I feel a little bit disappointed at the show as well at myself. I have high expectation for this show but it didn't satisfy me at all. Having said that I am still gonna watch this. I am sure that it can only get better from here onwards.

By the way, Gareki is my favorite character when I read the manga. I remember him being more aloof in the manga though.

That's about all I can say from watching this first episode of Karneval. Not much, huh? Not even a rant.

First Impression: Red Data Girl (RDG)

2013-04-01T15:43:00.000+08:00

My first impression gonna be short and simple. The reasons for that are easy. I don't have much time and I rather spend my time watching anime than blogging but I'm doing these first impression posts nonetheless because I need a reference and a reminder of what shows I've seen, what shows worth the watch or which one should be in my anishit list.

You see, I'm writing this post for selfish reasons and I'm OK with it.

Like I've said in my preview, P.A. Works often produced good shows and their animations are somewhat always seem flawless. Red Data Girl (RDG) is no exception. It got me intrigued in the first minute of the show which is quite a feat to do for anime these days.

So far I like how it's developing. That tsundere male protagonist will somewhat spoiled the show for me but it's alright since he's a shouta and a bishie at that. Also, there are other bishies to look forward to so it's all good.

Besides that shallow reasoning, I like the fact that they don't just spilled the beans with Izumiko. I like the fact that she's still somewhat a mysterious female protagonist in this first episode. Aside from her destroying the computers in the lab, I can't really tell for sure what her power is yet.

By the way, can I have a manservant too? Please? =3

2013-03-29T17:07:00.003+08:00

Now that I am getting slowly back into the groovy world of anime, I feel obligated to check out the incoming shows and truly pick the anime that I would spend my limited time on. As usual, I'm using my preview template for this shit, because I'm lazy as fuck.

Disclaimer: I'm basing my opinion on the synopsis of the shows. They are pretty telling at times but can be totally misleading at some other times too.

thanks to moetron

So here goes.

MUST WATCH:

Manglobe is producing Karneval which is pretty much targeted to fujoshi like me. Oh god all the bishies... and look at the seiyuus! #faps.
FUCK YES Yondemasu Yo, Azazel-san is back!
I am a big fan of Misaka Mikoto. I'm gonna watch To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S with hopes that something solid finally transpired between her and Touma. And perhaps Accelerator too :3

ANIME WITH POTENTIAL:

I'm not saying that I'm old but when an anime targeting the middle age women, I feel inclined to check it out especially since Otona Joshi no Anime Time is based on some prize winning stories.
P.A Works often produced some good shows with some pretty good plot so I have a feeling that RDG: Red Data Girl has somewhat the potential to be talk of the fandom if it's done right. Besides, there's Rie Kugimiya in it which I'm sure Glo will be delighted when he finds out.
I foresee a trap anime in Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru. Phew what a mouthful. The prospect of trap excites me beyond words. Lets hope Brain Base won't disappoint us.
They have remastered Gundam Seed Destiny. I remember spazzing about this anime back then. Too bad I won't have the time to rewatch it :(
In order for me to watch the second season of Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga nai, I have to finish watching the first one. It's a chore for me since I seriously dislike the imouto. But damn it this show is produced by A1-Pictures.
The setting for Shingeki no Kyojin looks to be interesting. Lets hope that it won't be destroyed by some cliche shit. Oh, and I hope there will be some incest too LOL
Knowing that Suisei no Gargantia is produced by Production I.G. gives me somewhat an assurance that this show can't be as bad as it sounds.
Oh dear, J.C. Staff is producing a show with Hentai in its title. Have they been so desperate? Anyhoo, Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko is set out to be interesting in a get go. Who doesn't like hentai right?
A boy pretending to be a girl? Arata Kangatari has potentials to go either so horribly wrong or awesome as fuck.
Aku no Hana somewhat intrigues. I can't tell what the show is going to be about which is always a good thing in my book.
One of the most talk about shows so I won't miss it for the world; Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kaku Outbreak

AVERAGE ANIME:

Date a Live looks to be a harem show with stupid cliched plot. I get a feeling that I will pretty much rage throughout the first episode, if I can managed to watch it that long, that is.
If this is another short less than 10 minutes anime, Danchi Tomoo will probably won't last long before I chucked it into the anishit list.
I have always wanted to watch remake of old shows and Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 is just one of those shows that intrigued me personally. Whether or not I have time for it will base on whether or not the show can impressed me within few minutes of the first episode.
Another mecha anime of the season is Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince. Lets gives this show a chance, shall we?
All I see is bishie so how bad can Devil Survivor 2 The Animation can be, right? RIGHT! LOL
I am never a fan of harem anime so I think I'm gonna drop Photo Kano after watching the first episode especially since the story looks to be stupid as fuck.
I am not sure whether the characters in Joujuu Senjin! Mushibug You poster is a boy or a girl. Either way this is gonna be another lackluster anime of the season.
Yuyushiki is adapted from 4-koma manga and I don't usually get the jokes so yeah... this show won't be as enjoyable to me as it is to some other people who is a 4-koma fan.
I see two bishies and a mecha in Kakumeiki Valvrave. Obviously that's enough reason for me to check out the show.
I did a facepalm when I read the synopsis for Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge. A kid with hair fetish? A hair queen? Jeebus.
Serious anime is serious: Asian Risshiden no Shima Kousaku.
I want to give Aiura a chance. Maybe it won't be so bad.

ANISHIT:

Tetsujin 28-Gou Gao might not be necessarily bad but I'm done watching short anime.
Oh dear god, why are we seeing a lot of the same shit lately? I will definitely stir clear from Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live.
Gonna ignore Boku wa Ou-sama Fairy Tale Classic just because it sounds too childish.
I think the comedy in Hataraku Maou-sama! will piss me off more than anything. It will be cliched as fuck. You can tell that much just by reading the synopsis. But of course I might be wrong.
Just like the seasons before it, I'm gonna ignore Hayate no Gotoku! Can't Take My Eyes Off You. I am just not a fan of Nagi. Period.
I am not going to watch Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W either. It wasn't bad if I walk around with a dick hanging instead of a vagina.
Sparrow's Hotel sounds stupid as shit. If they have to sell the fact that "she has large breasts" then I don't want to waste my time on this show.

On a side note, I am looking forward to two movies: Hanasaku Iroha and Kotonoha no Niwa.

Till we meet again in a different version of this review!

Bleach: Chapter 503

2013-03-19T18:51:00.000+08:00

So... someone just told me the spoiler of the upcoming chapters of Bleach. I feel like flipping the fucking desk right now. But it is all good. Though I can't unsee the shit, I managed to stop myself from reading further.

Anyway, gotta love how Kenpachi handle those shitty little Stern Ritter. They were annoying so he split one into half, slit the other one's throat and then brutally murdered the last one. Nothing much aye? LOL

His opponent this time around is none other than the one them trashes called The Majesty. But as usual Kubo won't show us the fight just yet. He decided it's time we got back to Ichigo who somehow has gotten the news that Byakuya, Renji and Rukia are all down.

or so he says

And that's all the panels he has for Ichigo before Kubo decided "oh fuck that, lets switched fight again". So now he's taking us to Hisagi who is about to get his ass handed to him. Lucky for him though because The Old Fart Yamaji decided to interfere with the fight and save his ass. He was threatened to be killed by one of his subordinate bankai though. I wonder which one would it be...

And that's how the chapter ended.

*sigh* I don't feel like ranting today so lets just pretend I'm okay with this whole unstructured shit.

For my rants on previous chapters, click here.

Bleach: Chapter 502

2013-03-18T19:43:00.000+08:00

Another two months have gone by since my last chapter of Bleach. Jeebus, it's not that I have stopped loving the series. I still love it to death despite the shit that Kubo cooked up lately. It just that I need time to forgive the shit. 2 months seem like long enough so lets see what happened to Byakuya now, shall we?

not looking to good there, taicho

Renji is coming to his rescue but I bet there's nothing much he can do about it. Rukia is running towards his brother too which sort of sweet. Oh well, I admit that whenever Rukia is in a panel, my heart melts and I have an instant b0nar so yeah, I'm being a biased maddafakka here XD

But back to the chapter, Byakuya is declared dead by the enemy while both Rukia and Renji (as expected), are down with injuries.

As they boast about their success defeating the shinigami, one man kinda crap in their parade. He's no other than Kenpachi who has neither shikai nor bankai.

Things should get interesting now...

Oh and I don't believe we've seen the last of Byakuya just yet.

A year older. Again

2013-03-09T10:29:00.000+08:00

It’s that day when I got another level up in life. I’m turning a year older again today. So many things have changed in a course of a year. I read what I wrote on my birthday last year and I almost choked with laughter at how ridiculous everything sounds.

Last year I was content. Well, not anymore.

this fanart has nothing to do with this post

Isn’t it irony knowing that at the moment, as I sit here, in my new temporary office, while my colleagues are all busy with their own things, some aren’t even here, that I failed to see what kind of future awaits me. It used to be so clear to me, of what I want in life; the dreams, aspirations and what not. Well, that is no longer the case.

As I found myself through the unexpected journey of love, it seems like somewhat I have lost myself too. It confuses the fuck out of me. It is definitely something that I am not used to. I am so used to be full of confidence and often not give a fuck about anything, especially things that are related to the matter of the heart.

Funny isn’t it how a person can change all that?

The reason why I feel so lost is for the simple fact that I can’t seem to picture my future without that person in it.

Cliché as fuck but fuck it it’s the fucking truth.

So today I am forced to rethink shit through. I am not getting any younger. Can I afford to be oblivious to the rules of the world? Can I afford to waste any more time pinning my hope for someone that may never reciprocate my feelings? Should I continue living so recklessly, devoid of any attachments?

Well, if that makes me happy, why the hell not? :)

I am just making sure that I won’t live a life with regrets burdening my conscience. Who knows, a year from now I might be laughing my ass reading this shit again.

They say 32 is the perfect age for wisdom. You have amassed plenty of life experience but not to the point that you crap in your pants.

Did you also know that 32 is

a. a code word for Cock Block
b. a meeting place for gay people
c. a sexual position where the penis becomes hard in preparation for homosexual sex

LOL I bet most people don’t know that.


om nom nom can I have you as birthday present? =3 (c) oldxian

Happy birthday, me :)

Bleach: Chapter 501

2013-01-19T01:04:00.001+08:00

So it took another 2 months for me to pick this up again. This time due to work and me being a ~~socialite~~ person with a life. Let see if Kubo managed to grab my attention again with this chapter or will I wait another month to read another chapter of Bleach.

As expected, the person who killed Opie has wounded Urahara as well which mean s/he is a force to be reckoned with. This frustrated Ichigo even further as none of his attempts to break from that "cage" work.

I saw this panel and I imagined him fucking Rukia Orz

The shinigami at Soul Society, especially the taicho and fukutaicho, are also trying to figure out how to defeat the enemy that they know shit about. Byakuya still managed to be extremely cute (well, okay - funny) with Renji in one panel and I must admit that I missed that. Anyway, in order for them to learn, Byakuya has to continue fighting while Renji try to see their enemy's ability and weaknesses, if any.

What Byakuya just noticed is that there are something else in his enemy's attack which causes his arms to freeze. That dude called it fear. It was cliche as fuck but whatever. It sounds legit and to be honest, if I'm creating a new zanpaktou, it would be pretty handy ability to have. His arrows are like the Dementor. Heh.

Through this enemy's ability, we get to learn what fear means to Byakuya.

As expected, he has sister complex. LOL

Because the enemy successfully made Byakuya (almost) consumed in his own fear, he got an opening to obliterate Byakuya. Is this the end of for the 6th Division Captain? I will be damned if it is.

Goodbye 2012 and hallo 2013

2013-01-01T14:23:00.001+08:00

Well, guess what? Mayan fucked up their calculation. We are still breathing and the world hasn't ended.

That was bad news for few people I know but for the rest of us, life goes on because at the end of the day, it really does goes on no matter how fucked up the day has been. The outcome depends on either you don't give a fuck, or give it one fuck too many. Mine is almost always the former.

But yes, lets talk about 2012. How did it goes? Has it been kind to you? Did you manage to achieve everything that you set out to do when you make that New Year resolutions?

Yes.

Having said that, the first half of my 2012 went by like a blur. I can't remember most of the details except that I completed my certificate at Academy of Pastry Arts Malaysia earlier than expected (in February instead of April), I opened Scrumbtious outlet in March, went to South Korea in April, quit my job, is diagnosed with some shitty cancerous shit, and then... what? LOL

I quit my good paying job in order to re-joined JOHO in June. If it wasn't for the passion and my love for them boys, I wouldn't have done it. This decision wasn't approved by many for obvious reason but meh, fuck it. There will come a time though when I will decide when I have had enough. Even more so now that the Shell deal is on and when you have to deal with a prick day in and day out.

It is also because of JOHO that I ended up having no time for animu or writings nowadays. It's a bit sad but I'm not complaining for I gained so much more in real life. I fell hard for a crush of mine in June, a month before my scheduled wedding hence I broke off the engagement. Unknowingly he has saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life so to him I'll be eternally grateful.

The best part of 2012, apart of finding myself through love - unrequited it may be, was all the getaway trips I went to. It's the company that matters to be honest so thanks guys for joining me on my madness. I used to do a solo trip before but I am not sure if I can do that anymore nowadays without feeling too lonely. This is why I have a feeling that 2013 will be awful, whats with Jebat is no longer here. FFFFF-

The people I am close with said I have changed. Well, I guess I did but not so much that you won't recognize me. Then again, I have not a clue what changes did they see because as far as I'm concern, the changes are subtle and only those involved knew what. Having said that, I doubt the person involved even know about it because that person doesn't know me that well to begin with. I allowed that person to see the side of me that nobody, not even my jerks or Jebat, got a chance to see. As for the rest of them persons, I let them made their own assumptions and thus they all think I'm beyond saving. Meh, it's not like I give a damn about their opinions anyway.

So overall, year 2012 has indeed been kinder to me. I have achieved what I set out to achieve but most importantly, I unexpectedly found love which is easily the highlight of the year for me.

I wish I could say that I want the same shit for 2013. I can't though. The thought of a new year is already draining me. For whatever reason I am not looking forward to anything. I have no new dreams, nor wishes. It sort of left me hollowed. So at the moment I failed to come up with any resolutions, or rather I don't really give a fuck anymore.

All I know is this, I will live a life of no regrets. I said what I needed to say and will continue doing what I want to do. Even if the outcome is unfavorable, at least I took a chance rather than wondering of the what-if.

So 2013, come at me bro.

I'm ending this post with this quote: "look for love but do not trust hope"

First Impression: Litchi☆Hikari Club

2012-12-19T13:21:00.000+08:00

In my preview, I said that this show looks pretty awesome. Either that or it's another scam but the overall character designs from the poster sure is intriguing.

From what I understand, this show which is also known as Lychee Light Club, is an adaptation of a horror manga with the same title. Please do not let the horror tag turn you off though since this is supposedly to be a comedy show as well. I wonder how this show will translate from manga to anime since it's only 2 minutes long.

Well, worry not. Though it's short, it didn't waste any time with stupid OP or ED. It get straight to the point by introducing us to the characters in a way that won't confused us much. There are 9 boys who are in the club, a robot and a girl name Kanon. Zera is their leader who I think is not much of a leader. Also, I think they came up with the horror tag thanks to the Lychee (that's the robot they created) that listens to Kanon otherwise, this show is brimming with comedic values.

Sadly, I do not recognized any of the seiyuu (which goes to show that my anime skills are not as sharp as it used to be) but I think they sound perfect for their characters so no complaining. I also approved of the arts and character designs of this show. It fits with the whole comedy-psychological-horror theme of the show.

I read reviews that said this show is so far off from the original source. Thank goodness that I didn't read the manga then otherwise perhaps I too would have raged. I ended up enjoying it instead.

I guess this isn't something I will recommend for an avid manga fan but if you are not, I don't think you'll regret watching this. Try it.

First Impression: Little Busters!

2012-11-21T13:49:00.003+08:00

From the preview, Little Bastards, I mean Little Busters!, has nothing to offer me. It looks like another typical harem show which most of the time, I am not too fond of. The only reason why I'm curious about this show is the fact that it is produced by J.C. Staff. I have faith in them so lets hope the show won't be too shitty.

Well... after I have watched the first episode, I did not understand shit and I am not sure whether that is a good thing or not.

The plot is pretty random. Everyone seems to put Kyousuke, the "hero" so-to-say, on a pedestal. He with four others of his friends sort of live in their own world, where most of what they do were on Kyousuke's whim. They are not of the same age though. Kyousuke is the oldest and Rin, his sister is the youngest. Kyousuke is in his third year and will be leaving them soon so in order to do things together like they used to, Kyousuke suggested that they play baseball. Like I said, it's pretty random.

I am not gonna write anything bad about the arts and animation since after all, this is produced by J.C. Staff. They won't do a bad job at it. The character designs however is something that I am familiar with. Kyousuke especially reminds me Otonashi from Angel Beats! Or is it just me? =\

The show surprises me in a way that I actually like Rin. I usually dislike arch-type character like her. If I have any complains, its the male seiyuus. I don't think any of the male seiyuus fit the characters that they voiced for. Kyousuke for example, sounds too... snobbish. I thought that it's kinda odd.

Little Busters isn't shitty but it isn't good either. Another average show in the history of anime. Not sure if I will watch this. Most probably I will end up downloading the episodes but won't watch it anytime soon, or be forever in my waiting list. Perhaps it would be more appealing if I read the visual novel...

I came across Spotted Flower by accident on twitter but once I clicked on that link, I can't stop reading it. It's about a newly wed otaku and his pregnant wife. Looks like his wife got him on the leash and she is horny all the time. It's an interesting take of how otaku men will react when given that kind of situation. He sure blushed a lot more than she did heh. She always tried forcing him to make love to her but he just can't, or rather not interested, since she's pregnant and all that. Well, I can't blame her. 9 months without sex can be suffering XD

this page got me hooked :w

Kyousogiga episode 3: Yase Youkai ain't exactly as she looks. She has quite a temper and will turn into a monster whenever something displeased her. This episode is sorta all over the place. It's about Station Opening where all things that are no longer needed will drifted away to who-knows-where. It is also sort of an introduction to the youkai's world in general.

Bleach: Chapter 500

2012-11-15T08:46:00.001+08:00

It has been more than 3 months since I last read Bleach. I have forgotten why I stopped reading it but mostly, and probably because I got sick at how ridiculous Tite Kubo was at that time. I hope shit gets better now though. Then again, I can never leave Bleach for too long. I love the series regardless.

In previous chapter, we all know that Ichigo is trapped in the cage but Soul Society was too excited with the news that he's coming, they didn't realize this until after they announced over Soul Society that he's coming and the fact that his bankai can't be stolen by the Quincy.

As they were trying to send rescue team to find Ichigo, Jindanbou came and attacked the 12th Division lab.

It was chaos as they were killing each other.

And it was torture for Ichigo since he can hear everyone but cannot respond to their cries for help.

But it seems like help is on its way as Opie got killed for real this time but it is still a mystery who did it and whether or not s/he on Soul Society side because it looks like Urahara is under attack too. I mean, if Urahara can't detect her/he, then surely he's good enough to rescue everyone, including Ichigo.

Kyousogiga episode 2: Everything is over the top with this episode. Shouko lost her remote control and sent all her troops all over town to find it. Lucky for her that Fushimi has installed a GPS tracking system on that remote and found it, but after she blew up half of the town though.

Sunday, November 11

I know I am gonna pretty much rage watching episode 4 of K. The fact that Kuroh is making bento for Yashiro is enough shit to start with. I want a badass show, not something gay like this. This episode pretty much focused on Yashiro trying to prove himself innocent by going around the campus to find an alibi. He did find one but after that, he found the bloody uniform he wore on the day of the crime. Okay... things are getting interesting now.

uh oh he's in trouble now...

Teekyuu episode 4: They all went to the pink haired girl house where they do some rather random things as usual only to find out in the end that it's not her house. LOL. Mean while in episode 5, they decided to practice some tennis but of course that's not what they were doing. It's alright though. That what makes this less-than-3-minutes show so enjoyable. I wish I have random girl friends like Yuri. Oh wait, I already have, but they are all males XD

Episode 2 of Lychee Light Club: they were trying to modify Lychee so it can performed other tasks but failed as each of them just give stupid suggestion though at the end, the van idea isn't bad at all. By this episode, it is clear we have a bunch of guys with different personality to amuse us, from a genius to gay to a masochist and everything in between. I keep expecting them to have an orgy LOL

Lychee Light Club episode 3: Suda proposed that they used Lychee as a sales tool since his uncle, a CEO of automotive company is interested to mass produced Lychee because of the greener technology (Zera used lychee fruit as Lychee's fuel). When the CEO came to look at Lychee, it mistaken his bald head as the fruit and freaking eat him. Heh, there goes their plan of getting rich.
