THAT Animeblog

Well a bucket of sweat saves a gallon of blood, that it does…

After a wee bit of background on Biribiri and her boy troubles we get some glorious fluff about Kuroko and Uiharu. While both are rather young in years they were quite adorable in when still in elementary school. I was surprised that Kuroko was so negative about going to Tokiwadai and had some very nasty things to say about the Tokiwadai no Ace. Uiharu however seems to have always been into yuri and imagined going to school with Long Haired Kanako and Ayarin, I wonder how far her fantasies go…

I'm back!

You should see how much I’ve grown. Or not.

Yeah, it’s been almost a year since I last blog anything. 3 more papers till I’m finally free from my nightmare of having to take paper after paper after paper after paper after paper…

Oh, sorry. Did I rant too much? Silly me.

Yeah, so while I was away, I still get the chance to see quite a few anime series, some as good as Kimi ni Todoke, Umineko and Eden of the East and the crappy ones like Asura Cryin’ (Did not cry, you piece of junk), Miracle Train (Man, I don’t anyone watches it, but I only watch it for the sake of boredom.) and 07-Ghost (I’m starting to hate Studio DEEN ever since I watched Vampire Knight, but I’m still respecting it due to their involvement in Umineko, which is still as awesome as the 1st episode.)

Before I began ranting how much I’ve struggled over the year, let’s get into it. (Note: List of anime I’ve watched is not in order of the worst to the best and vice versa. I just jot down things that my brain pops up.) Erm, I’m getting extremely loquacious, let’s move on.

Though I fear some eventual subpar episodes as we pass the original 26 episode season mark (apparently the series was extended during its course), we have nothing but more awesome in this week’s episodes. The Zentradi boarding action is still on going at the start of episode 23 and the Zentradi Cult of Minmay for the most part succeeds in linking up with the UN Spacy forces. Then we have the fallout from recent events on both the political-military and romantic fronts. And then Misa departs for UN HQ on carrying vital information as Max and Millia make first contact.

Fire at will commander.

The day of reckoning has finally come and for some reason it seems that the girls are putting in 110% while the boys are making pathetic attempts to become traps. Thankfully Seitoukaichou had them shot and blown to little pieces. In the meantime Akane and Natsuru Girl-type are being costume raeped for fun and profit, emphasis on PROFIT. To get rich is glorious and indeed it seems that their class will get rich first. While they have decided to socialize Natsuru Girl-type, they milk it for all it is worth and ensure that socialism is not shared poverty by taking a rich harvest of photos. Natsuru Girl-type lost her dignity sometime ago but the end result was that Akane felt that she was now damaged goods but I am sure her partner will take full responsibility though it is glorious that she felt that she lost it to some yuri fangirls… Surely her preference for Natsuru Boy-type is a cover for her growing yuri lust. Sakura is late to the party as usual and misses out on all the fun Akane gloriously tells the stupid bitch off while clinging tightly on to Natsuru Girl-type’s arm. This sends Sakura packing and weeping and such is her pathetic state that she relies on Natsuru Boy-type to console her.

Kind of a slow episode this time, though the continuing theme seems to be that the characters’ world is becoming awash in youkai sword technology lately. Sesshomaru conducts more testing of the Tenseiga while Inuyasha and his team attempt to track down the source of the youki-absorbing blade they found and broke last episode. That searching is the main focus of this episode, but we also have the introduction of another agent of Naraku, Byakuya.

Wait so Yui was hetero? Or was it that she was more moe moe kyun for megane men?

So Vichy-tan after having been sent reeling on the field from Sawako’s infinite superiority in just about every aspect, the vile French Fry has decided to initiate a propaganda offensive. Not since the Mao Era have I seen such a disgusting smear campaign, worse still this student population believes all of it, I think it is time for a most violent purge and sending the guilty into re-education camps for thought reform. Fortunately Yano and Yoshida don’t believe much of it and Yosida makes me proud in that she now brags of having made teachers weep and BIG BANG PUNCHED every boy that crossed her path. I can only hope that Yosida will SMASH VICHY-TAN INTO ATOMS. Sadly because neither Sawako, Yano, or Yoshida is a fully fledged member of the School of the Undefeated of East they cannot communicate clearly through fists and as such they are not on the same frequency. It is reminiscent of how Halsey misread the the message from Nimitz regarding Kurita’s Center Force at Leyte and took the padding as verbatim, and now Yano and Yoshida are misreading the padding as well, all three wept True Tears, though Halsey’s were of RED HOT RAGE while Yano and Yoshida are of sadness and forlorn. At the very least Yano and Yoshida were not ready to lynch Sawako over such base rumors and struggled to keep faith. It is a most welcome revelation of what top tier friend material they are with a little more time they will be Kameraden with Sawako. Thier bonds will by then have been forged in the heat of conflict, sealed through mutual True Tears, and guarded by St. Noe, and if that insolent Vichy-tan thinks that she might win I cannot wait to see her weep crap tears of lose and fail.

Ah, this is really a great stretch of episodes lately. Just last week there was the Omni-Directional Barrier overload explosion, Kakizaki’s death to make it feel real, and the Macross being forced to leave Earth. Now much progress is made on the romantic front in the Misa/Hikaru/Minmay/Kaifun conflict and the Zentradi get smart with the return of Britai from Zentradi HQ. Minmay’s singing and motivation improves while Millia stalks her prey aboard the Macross and the situation for many of the characters takes some interesting turns.
