A Certain Scientific Railgun EP21

Last episode of Railgun, Uiharu and the new girl were stuck in a violent poltergeist attack, but were saved by the chief of the Mars unit. I didn't really feel this episode as much as I probably would have liked, but this episode seemed to serve the purpose of throwing out all the pieces onto the board to get ready for the story. Kuroko begins to question the new girl and looks up her background information and believes the new girl might actually be the culprit behind the earthquakes. Because under extreme circumstances the new girl's power can succeed her normal power level.Back at Uiharu's room, Uiharu discovers the importance of the new girl's amulet and realizes its importance to her. Uiharu explains to the new girl how she will do whatever she can to help the new girl. The new girl's spirits are boasted by Uiharu, and explains how she would like to change.

The two of them go to a park and fall victim to another poltergeist attack. The two are unharmed, but a love of people in the park were injured some even critically hurt. Kuroko tries to explain to Uiharu that the new girl might be the cause of everything, but Uiharu strongly refuses to believe it.Uiharu is incredibly mad with Kuroko and ends up ignoring her. The chief of the MARs unit tries to take the the new girl and get her tested. Uiharu strongly objects, but is persuaded because it is the only way for the new girl to prove herself innocent.They wait for her test results and the new girl wakes up. The new girl doesn't remember anything, and finds her amulet is missing. Uiharu was holding onto the amulet and gives it to her and they finally discover what the amulet held, a picture of her friend.

The girl appeared in an early episode with the whole "Level Upper" arc. The new girl explains how she is a "Child Error" and the episode ends.Final Opinions: The episode in itself wasn't bad, I just kinda demand my Uiharu time. I do look forward to how the arc will expand because the arcs in this series are pretty solid, so I can only hope for good things.

Idiots, Tests, and Summoning Monsters EP08

         Man, the title is so damn long. The title of episode 08 is "I'm Sorry" an the title does actually make quite a bit of sense when you get to the end of the episode. BTS is pretty sweet and has been reliably amusing. Episode 8 did not fail in any regard for it offered plenty of good laughs and some hype fan service.

Rundown: Episode 08 is a spoof of Evangelion and filled with fan service. The episode starts off with the main character (Akihisa) being man handled by the delicious flat chested girl. She's jealous that Akihisa is collecting pictures of Hideyoshi but not her, so she challenges her to a summoning battle!But what is this?! Akihisa isn't able to summon?! turns out someone broke a cord in the summoning system and now all the summons are going ape shit. Everyone's summons are a bit off and look very different. Himeji's looks like Morrigan...Minori's looks like Lilith...And one more bonus one...

Lol at the wedding bring by the way. All of the summons are messed up and end up running away. Later on, the director of the school tells Akihisa his summon is the only one unaffected by the virus and must use his summon to fix the summoning machine.Akihisa and everyone mobilize to make a plan to fix the summoning machine. Voyeur straps on a camera to Akihisa's summoning monster so they can find out what is going on. As Akihisa's summoning monster runs around it gets beat the hell out of by Yuuji and Voyeur's summoning monster.Everyone realizes Akihisa's summoning monster isn't strong enough, so they power it up by making him take a crap ton of low grade problems. Akihisa eventually ends up maxing out his stats and he prepares for his second attack.Akihisa manages to beat Yuuji and Voyeur's summonig monster, however another even trouble some threat awaits for them. Himeji and Minori's summoning monster.Akihisa gets pretty destroyed,  I mean seriously just look at that picture and you tell me how you would handle that. But, luckily Minori's lesbian friend comes in and pulls Minori's summoning monster away and Himeji makes her self bomb a test to drop her summoning monsters level down to zero. Nice save for everyone, too bad everyone ends up taking extra lessons in the end.

Omamori Himari EP08

Omamori Himari EP08 is a pulsr approved episode. It has the loli it has the boobs what more could I want?

 The Rundown:  Last episode we left off with Himari going catshit on Krause and episode 08 begins with Himari mysteriously wearing just a T-shirt and in her room. Himari has to take some pill that makes her remove all of her magic essence( I really have no idea) but anyways, it nets us some awesome fan service pictures like above. The main character( I don't know his name lol) Also shows his caring for Himari by staying by her side while she goes into complete cat meow meow mode.

So, the main character makes the choice to tell Krause his feelings. Krause didn't really approve of the main characters choice of words and decides to attack him. However! the attack was a ploy to help the main character regain his lost memories and success! It works. Krause turns out to be quite the cute tsundere. Her voice becomes way lighter and pretty cute. Well, I thought at least. 

So, I think the harem is more or less complete now. We have the flat chested girl, the water demon girl, the cat girl, and now the sorcerer girl. Honestly, I think the series is pretty fun still. The story isn't entirely that amazing but it seems to have a decent enough pace to keep me from not wanting to watch it.
Last thoughts: I approve, this episode had enough underwear, boobs, and enough of a story press to keep it balanced and enjoyable.

Katanagatari EP02

          Huzzah, finally watched EP02 of Katanagatari and it is pulsr approved. I should make an awesome pulsr approved sticker, but that is for another day. So far Togame is steadily pulling me away from my beloved Nanoha-chan, but I actually discovered that Togame is the same voice actress as Nanoha. Pulsr approves of Togame in every regard now. The Rundown: It has been one month since Togame and Shichika(Yes! I know his name now) have acquired their first super sword and are sent off to obtain their second super katana. As the two travel, A lot of silly things occur in their travels that really depicts the characters personalities.

         Togame is probably suffering from some deep emotional scarring. While she is easily the loudest, the way she reacts to Shichika really shows a certain frailty when it comes to her emotions. Whenever Togame is directly complimented she does hesitate slightly, but her actions afterward tend to show how her job is more important then what she really feels.

          Shichika is easily described as a loss puppy. His character is more or less in a constant state of learning. But, he can still recognize foolish behavior especially when Togame is nominating "catch phrases" for him to use in battle. Shichika's personality does seem to be a bit of a lack luster, however he did you know, come from a damn isolated island. 

         Okay, so the story. They cross this area of land that went through desertification and most of the area is unpopulated except for a castle. In the castle the owner of the second katana resides. The katana is supposed to have the ability to cut through anything. They discover the owner keeps himself shelled up in a room and is incredibly dangerous when anyone actually steps foot into the room.         Shichika considers his opponent to be his first actual adversary. Shichika suffers from a lack of combat experience and isn't sure if he should be using full force or not. Anyhoo, he does defeat the swordsman and the sword is acquired. Shichika refuses to actually see the blade of the 2nd sword because he was unable to "see it" in battle. A very strong indicator of his lack of knowledge in combat and respect for fighting.Final Opinions: What can I say, I already pulsr approved this episode earlier. After writing about this episode, I've beginning to see how their is a bit of a darker undertone for this series. It is truly impressive because this anime is slightly different than most because the people they fight are actually dieing. So, I look forward to more episodes to see how the characters develop and I just really like Togame's legs.

Gundam Unicorn EP01

          Gundam is just like a Jane Austen novel because you will always know what will happen, but you know what you will bloody watch it and will find some way to enjoy it. IIRC Gundam 00 movie was canceled because of the writer getting sick/passing away and that left the gundam fan boys with a severe need of a gundam fix and I feel Gundam Unicorn delivered.

The Rundown: The art work is a quick reminder of the 80's gundam art style but you know what, gundam girls are hot so I don't care. Okay, about the story. The story is pretty much the standard gundam intro. Poor emo guy witnessed an earlier war and is pretty angst over fighting, but still ends up piloting a gundam anyways. 

         Father Time (see above) I take it is in charge of some super secret organization and has found/made? an item that could save/destroy the world. A group of spacenoids are going to acquire the item and are told if their goals aren't pure enough the item won't do a damn thing.

          Meanwhile the main hero finds a girl who just happens to be a princess or something along those lines. Banangher ( I already forgot his name) is hopelessly obsessed with this girl and helps her as much as he can, but when she finally gets to her destination the princess cuts him lose and he becomes incredibly emo. 

        While Banangher is leaving and being sad, the colony is attacked by the Federation. The Federation's objective isn't too clear in episode 01, but they are aware of the secret organization and apparently some backstabbing happens. All three sides are mingled into this battle (Federation, Spacers, Secret Organization)

Banangher ends up stumbling into a room that houses the Gundam "Unicorn" He discovers his father, who is bleeding to death, is inside of the cockpit. His father leaves him the gundam and Banangher powered by anime fuel goes out to rid all of the enemies in the space station and after a quick battle the episode ends.

Final Opinions: I got caught up in the pace and was faintly reminded of 08MS Team (my favorite gundam series) The series will probably still be pretty much like every other gundam series, but the ride can sometimes be worth it.

Katanagatari EP01

     So, I just finished watching Katanagatari and I fully approve of this series. I remember peeping this awhile back and was kinda' not all that impressed with the art and thought it was lacking. However, I was gravely reminded of Kaiba and I'm glad I sat down and watched this episode. 

The Rundown: I'm really bad with names so, everyone will just have to make due with my poverty names. Togame (the only name I actually remember)is the self-declared super strategist of her country and is currently on a quest to gather 12 super katanas from all over the country to help promote her rank. Togame travels to some isolated island in search of a legendary fisticuff fighter, but instead discovers the man died a year ago and only his son and daughter are left. 


     Luckily for Togame, the son, I'll call him flower guy, is actually trained in his fathers fisticuff techniques. Flower guy isn't all that well versed in human socialization, seeing as he was living on an island for 20 years, and is bewildered about what to do. And for 20 minutes, I kid you not, 20 minutes she tries to persuade flower guy to come help her find the 12 super swords. 

     Flower guy and Togame are attacked by the evil prince of tennis (His name started with a K) so, Flower Guy goes to find the attacker. The attacker kidnaps Togame and introduces some pretty hype bondage scenes (not really) Anyways, Flower Guy discovers Togame is actually trying to seek the aid of her enemies to try and, I guess, unite the country. 

Final Opinions: I really enjoyed this episode and I'm anxiously waiting for more. The artwork is a nice change of pace and I think Togame has the potential to replace my Takamachi Nanoha fetish. Seriously though, give it a whirl... I'm glad I took another gander at this series and look forward to watching EP02

       

  


Revitalization of my Silly Blog: Begin!

Alright... since my last one vanished due to my strategic laziness, I will get cracking on a new one and perhaps make it have a 100% more posts.
