THAT Animeblog

Do you remember about the little contest we have? For a remainder, there is still one month for you to do some research. Do not lose the chance to get some 50-70 dollars worth of anime merchandise from the evil Crusader who hates all those sex-driven bodies in School Days!

We already have our first entry, and we hope to have more!

Crusader:

Here are some bigger better pictures if you need them. Remember shipping is free, and we did offer a few more incentives to motivate you.

Who is this guy in a retro Chinese room, a retro Chinese ma-gua shirt, a retro pseudo-Chinese pose?

This week includes such a bloody enormous revelation I blogged this immediately, instead of waiting for a free day. (It doesn’t hurt that I was unexpectedly let off earlier by an hour.)

Last week Shito was emboweled, or rather pierced through the abdomen by a chain saw. This week sees him lying on bed, seeming to have gained an unexpected admirer and having a jolly good time as a result. In fact, Shito has been revealed to be somewhat of a lady’s man (despite his weird temper), gaining and/or revealing to have more admirers than we know, including our very own Michiru, who expresses a lot more care and feelings for Shito than is warranted after enduring the latter’s vicious verbal flaying.

Of course, Shito is kidnapped and in the hands of an insane doctor, so all is not well. Not to mention the fact that he is far away from Chika and his right hand; we finally get to see some of the consequences of having Chika and Shito far apart for an extended period of time.

No, Natsu is not my himegimi.

The recent launch of the Himegimi Honbu got me thinking about who my own favourite anime characters are. I’m usually pretty detached when it comes to watching anime, and as such it’s very rare for me to really fall in love with a character. Off the top of my head, the only female character that I love is Kasuga Ayumu, and thinking a little bit harder yielded me the name Chidori Kaname.

Last episode saw Tosei finally catching up with Nishiura with a score of 2-2. However, a side that is as technical and calm like Tosei will not allow the momentum to cease. It will just continue its relentless effort to gain the lead for the first time in the game. As Mihashi struck out two people, there is still one more batter to go onto the field before the seventh inning. Will the inexperienced and physically drained Mihashi manage to survive the onslaught?

Or will Tosei’s relentless pressure cause Mihashi or Nishiura to make a mistake and gain another point? To add, never discount the resilience of Nishiura to regain the lead too.

Taken from the source of ANN,

The October issue (on sale August 30) of Mag Garden’s Comic Blade magazine will announce that a third animated television season based on Kozue Amano’s Aria surreal slice-of-life manga was greenlit. Director Junichi Sato (Gate Keepers, Pretear, Princess Tutu) will return after overseeing both of the previous Aria television seasons and the OVA. The staff will largely be the same as the OVA version’s. The broadcast date has not been set yet, but the third season has been in production since this past spring.

Hurray for Aria fans. Now, I have to wait for it, and you will be sure that I am going to blog about this when it does come out. Woot!

This is definitely either the strangest or the shortest (literally) episode I have ever watched in my entire life. Not only is it bizarre and queer, it does not even bother to introduce or explain itself at all. I mean, you are suddenly thrown with a whale that is in the air, and a boy saying how strange it is to have a whale up there. I mean, there’s no fear or anything, other than “oh, it’s a whale in the air”. The rest of the remaining minutes was a fanservice between a megane female (see above) and the main male character.

This must be the most clueless first anime episode I have ever watched. No, I don’t think I will watch any. This has taught me a lesson: do not view anything that you have no clue about.

Ya’ll know me still the same ol’ Kat
But I been low key
Hated on by most these bitches
Wit no cheese, no deals and no G’s, no wheels and no keys
No boats, no snowmobiles and no ski’s

At least the tears are not tears of joy, none of them deserve joy. So this school festival is most deserving of a carpet bombing. So many unfunny moments, but most importantly Setsuna has failed. She is a traitor. There is nothing more hateful in the world than a traitor. For this crime she must die a thousand times over. I can’t believe she kissed him. I believed in her! That thrice damned French loving loli-Jap. I should have known that she was as treacherous as the Vichy. She was not the one destined to kill them all; she is a Francophile for St. Nagatochi’s sake. Not the Norse Valkyrie of Doom I had so desperately waited for. At least Katsura is getting crazier… (Note: Lyrics based off of Forgot About Dre, by Dr. Dre and Eminem)
