THAT Animeblog

We got some new swimsuits and summer outfits, and then same stuff happened as before. I think this was the first time I’ve ever been bored watching an episode of Haruhi. Not even joking, I’m completely out of interesting things to say about the same events we’ve experienced multiple times already…

Baron Ashura you are one of the lucky few…

I’ll keep this short simple (doing reconnaissance, transport, and support for a friend’s AX shindig), Baron Ashura is one lucky bastard, thus far that was the funniest moment yet in the series beating out Sayako’s wardrobe malfunction. Lastly alas for Gamia Q5, five there were yet only one might remain, but at least she went out fighting.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

As a sailor I cannot help but listen to sea stories, and given that this sea story is by a big shot director I will give it a chance even if the habits of Marin and Urin are strange. So yeah they are woefully under dressed and certainly being in the frigid ocean they might want to dress a bit more warmly, though I suppose that this was unavoidable given that the origins were pachinko machines. At least the rest of the sky dwellers took notice about the strange water people. Though as it was a beach is suppose that it wasn’t too far out of the realm of possibility, certainly Marin looks enough like a gaijin so that the locals wouldn’t give her crap to her face at least as they prefer to snivel behind people’s backs, Given the OP I doubt that Marin and Urin will start dressing in a more modest fashion, though certainly if they were to do a better infiltration they will have to alter their dress code. Still I can overlook such quirks of their water people society as after all every culture has their disagreeable aspects and at least under dressing is as mild as you can get.

The numbering convention for this new season irritates the hell out of me. That being said I was happy we finally got into a bit of story here and more Nagato. This likely means new episodes for at least another 2 weeks to resolve this storyline if they plan on animating most of it. Good times.

Ah memories…

Well about two months ago back in April I should have marked my 2nd blog anniversary but things have not really been normal to say the least. Well I suppose that this post will at least mark the start of my terrible twos in which case quality will plummet as will output (Mwahahahaha). I started the year off by getting my apartment broken into and making E-5. Now that my academic career is at an end it basically fell upon me to make good on my newfound responsibilities at work, which meant having a whacked out schedule of extended hyperactivity every now in then. In July it will be a brutal month as I get to fly to Virginia twice in the same month to the same place, knowing what I know now it basically means four or more red eye flights unless the paper work goes over well. Still I do get to make the traditional after graduation road trip, and hopefully that will be a bit more interesting than the usual. While summer looks to be a hit or a miss at least there is the promise of the Macross Movie (Which will be Gorgeous Delicious DECULCHA!). So here goes the mandatory late as hell rant I am supposed to do at the end of every blog year, which is conversely an opportunity to muse aimlessly in a futile effort to put together a post.

Time for a career change boys.

I apologize for the delay on this post (my higher brain functions were haveing difficulty coping with the Gamia sisters talking in unison), it’s just that I felt saddened at the untimely death of the four Gamia Q sisters, ah well I hope that there will be Gamia Q3 2.0 later on. Such a terrible waste…I would not have minded much at all if they had persisted a bit longer. Still I suppose that it was inevitable given that Baron Ashura was giving out orders, if only Blocken was in charge for a while rather than the butt monkey that is Baron Ashura is right now. Still overall there was much to like and Kouji did keep his weeping to a minimum. I suppose that after granting us all a lot of time to admire the aesthetics of Gamia Q3, which is probably the most graceful mecha of the year; that it was to be balanced out by not only manservice, but shouta-service. Still it seems that he rest of the Mazinger Army is still sucking hard, and they were even berated by the three good engineers that built them, I was grateful that the piss ants were finally forced to shut up and admit their grievous deficiencies. While the other pilots of the Mazinger Army suck, it seems that at least the Kurogane House 5 are some badass motherfuckers, though I am not sure if we can consider Cross to be mecha ase well despite having Alloy Z parts.

May I try some of your tasty beverage? After a couple of weeks of repeats we finally get a new episode of Haruhi V2.0, although it had little to do with plot advancement in a significant way. In the most widely circulated guess as to the order of airing of new episodes, it looks like the next couple of weeks should be new as well, but nothing has been made official.
