Maria+Holic, Episode 4- Oh Shaft


This episode had a dreadful lack of Mariya, replaced by the often annoying antics of Ryuuken. And then there’s Shaft, who decided to really lay the photoshop filters and other random crap on thick throughout most of the episode. However…Mariya was wearing a maid uniform. OH YES.

Maria-sama ga Miteru – 04: The Machinations of Yoshino

Yoshino can hold quite the grudge…

Well lelangir was busy this week and seeing as how it’s Super Bowl Sunday this weekend I might as well fly solo on this one until next time. The quest for a new soeur for Yumi and Yoshino continues with a tea party that in the end result few concrete results. Yoshino seems to be very particular while Yumi is in no shortage of aspirants. Too bad Touko was a no show. The girl who claimed either one of them will have sufficed was seen off while Yumi is clearly the favorite amongst the first years. Sadly few if any had much of a work ethic and even Sachicko was stirred to anger. The underwhelming showing of the first years was indeed lackluster, hair problems, getting autographs, and running away from washing dishes.

Minami-ke Okaeri – 04: Fighting Touma, Hidden Banchou

Don’t worry your best friend will be there shortly…

It’s certainly shaping up to be quite the year for Touma, for the past four eps it seems that Touma has applied for adoption by Haruka. Given the quality of her brothers I cannot say I blame her, with an oppressor like Natsuki who is by all accounts exceptionally thick Touma’s headbutt is probably more effective against Kana in snack defense, I already have a job suggestion for Touma, I hear Terry Tate needs some help in his office linebacker business and Touma is already a promising candidate. Quite how the other Minami family came to the conclusion that Touma was getting more lady-like under the care of Haruka and her sisters is for now a mystery. I just loved how Kana lost her nerve when Akria was thanking her as the truth is quite different. Kana thinks that reverse psychology might work, but quickly changes her plans and resolves to make Touma a gentleman. The great thing is that Touma could probably do it for a while until she could no longer feign flatness. If kana put her mind to it I am sure she could make Touma into a reverse trap for life, but I for one am against gender reassignment, as manliness is 99% attitude 1% balls of a physical sort.

White Album – 04: Calling Your Date Collect…

Just because she smiles does not mean she wants to have your babies.

It’s simply amazing how even now while Rina had been exonerated at the end of every episode that people dare call her a man stealer. I say again just because Touya thinks that he has a shot doesn’t mean she is giving him one. This pro-Yuki sentiment is galling as this fifth column has come to spread more malicious lies as Kabitzin decided to join their ranks in defaming the good name of Rina Ogata. Rina has put Yuki first and this is the thanks she gets. I blame Touya for all this, because the stupid fuck is having delusions about Rina liking him. Nothing could be more false, as Rina only wants Yuki to be happy.

Gundam 00 S2 – 16: The Greatest Raid That Never Was (Also No Screen Caps Because Sunrise Said So) Just realized something.

Objections were raised over Sunrise’s new stance on screen caps and fan art, but to no avail. Thus, only non-Sunrise Mecha can now be posted…

In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance only the Feddie race that received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the Middle East, and with it that of the whole world, and that I would then among other things settle the Feddie problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: if the international Feddie financiers in and outside of the Federation should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Unification of the earth, and thus the victory of the Feddies, but the annihilation of the Feddie race!

Our time has come to fight against the Federation, our honored martyr Hercules has put the fear of a military coup in their minds. We have been bombing the hated Feddie for over three years for not giving us what is right fully ours. With our Celestial Being protectors we have only to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down.– der Fuhrer Klaus

No Summary because I lack screen caps to beak up the wall of text, more on that later.

THAT kdrama blog: Boys Over Flowers

Some of you may be watching this kdrama remake of a jdrama remake of a tdrama adaptation of an anime adaptation of a manga (OK it’s probably just an adaptation of the manga, but it’s way more fun to say that way). To be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of the manga; I dropped it pretty quickly and only know the basic outline of the plot. The thing that made me watch this version is simple: my undying affection for Koo Hye Sun. Sure, Pure 19 was sweet and all, but it’s her wide range of absolutely adorable facial expressions that endears her to me. With visions of her in my mind, I plunged into the first episode of Boys Over Flowers.

What I found was a new kind of rage inside myself.

RideBack 02 – “Tamayo is the Top!? ~Spread Legs Form~”

Our blond bombshell, Tamayo, is so pissed with the skills of Rin with a RideBack that she challenges her to a cat fight/RideBack race out of pure jealousy. Who will win, Japan champion Tamayo or our newbie Rin? Who cares, it’s hawt girls in leather suits; it’s a win-win situation.

…It’s so hard to resist making a sexual connotation each time I read “Spread Legs Form”…
