THAT Animeblog

Since April just won’t come fast enough, I’ve decided to start my own feature or two here so that I have something to blog until the new season rolls around. I also figured that I’d need something to fill the gaps in April while I wait for all the shows I’m interested in to come out. With that in mind, I’ve created the “Friday Ramble”.

The basic premise of the FR (as I’ll be referring to it out of laziness) is pretty straightforward. While browsing around the site, I noticed that there are some shows I watch (some of them quite popular) that were either never blogged, or have been dropped by their previous authors. Now, I don’t intend to pick these up and blog them seriously, but it wouldn’t hurt to drop a quick summary/opinion and a couple of screens for them would it? I didn’t think so.

So, in short, the FR is a bulk blog on a few ongoing series, and maybe a few series that I missed but have been checking out recently. Quick, to the point, but just enough to show you that I (kinda) care. This week, read on for: BLEACH, NARUTO, ROSARIO + VAMPIRE, and D.GRAY-MAN! Read more.

I know that Christmas’ over, but Santa Cross is watching…

Note to readers: I will not be posting this week because of school work on Wednesday and Thursday and it’s also that Japan is not going to show D.Gray Man either due to the New Year’s Celebration programmes they have there. So bear with it and currently no pictures for Episode 64 for DGM because it’s not subbed yet. (Watch it on TV in my country, they have it and completely subbed.). And a happy New Year to all people around the world, goodbye 2007, hello 2008.

Sometimes I pity poor Bak dear….he seems to be a punching bag to Allen and Fou…

Sorry I haven’t been updating for some time now, it just that I’m busy with many things in school lately, mostly band practice. Wait till tomorrow and then things will resume to normal for me. I’ll be reviewing Vampire Knight Chapter 33 and more things later on in the blog.

Today’s episode wasn’t such a letdown, but the only thing that I’m disappointed in is that Lenalee and the others heading to Edo won’t be appearing in this episode, but they would be appearing in the next one.

I’ve finished watching the episode, and I have seen something very interesting:

1. In this entire episode, Bak or who ever the person is kept saying God and this annoys me. I hope this show won’t turn out into some show which has a lot of debating issues on religion later on. But I’ll just leave it to the manga-ka to explain the story further in the manga.

2. Jeryy; I mean, he’s supposed to be in the Headquarters right? Why is he here in the Asia Branch (Unless he used some kind of teleporter, which is impossible in the timeline of D.Gray Man. It’s the 17th/18th century, man. Or he had some kind of superpower which makes him run fast to the Headquarters to the Asian Branch like the Flash, but I think that would be almost impossible. He’s not an Exorcist, so forget about him having superpowers.)

I was thinking if the Ark is available, but since the Ark hasn’t been show in the show yet, I leave that one out, too.

And let’s get on this week’s episode (Or not. I’m such a slow anime watcher):

That’s must be it, Lenalee X Lavi, anyone? And I can see any second now one of them is going to fall off very soon… the pole’s look thin…

There are good news and bad news for the Exorcists in Asia. But first, the bad news (Or rather some good news now that Tim took Suman’s Innocence before he died.). Allen ‘died’, the ship’s rather torn and the Exorcists are now on the losing side now that Allen can’t fight for the time being. But then Tim lead Lenalee and Lavi to where Allen was ‘killed’ very badly and Lenalee’s becoming very emo now that she found out that Allen’s going to die anytime now and not able to join the others to fight the demons (Akuma). I know how the person feels like to hear that a close friend of ours is going to leave the world, it really hurts and I don’t blame Lenalee for being quiet. Lavi still insist of Lenalee to go on with life and doesn’t care about her feelings, but thanks to Grandpa Panda (a.k.a. Bookman), everything’s all Lavi’s fault.
