No Dance in the Vampire Bund this week, hasn’t been released in time.

Obligatory reminder : that’s not an overall ranking, just my ‘personal’ appreciation of the latest episode of each show. (< obligatory copypasta so I don’t have to think of an intro)

#1 ↑↑ Hanamaru Youchien (9)

First half was rather nice Yamamoto-sensei-imouto goodness. As for the second half, it condensed major EPIC WIN within a few minutes. The children’s dreams were very amusing. Hiiragi-chan’s one was pure awesomeness and lulz, and adult Hiiragi is cool and HAWT. And when I thought it couldn’t be better after that, we got Tsucchi flashback scene including loli Satsuki-chan <3 <3 <3. And finally, got my teachers of love talking about why they decided to become teacher. It even finished with some kind of ‘harem anime’ hint. Man, so much greatness packed into only a half-episode, my head was about to explode…

#2 ↓↓ Chu-Bra!! (10)

Kiyono episode. Very nice, it got everything : lulz, moe, light drama, DFC fondling action… Kiyono is great as always, and she gets a quite funny hidden comical side too (vacuum cleaner XD). She even served us her killer gentle smile~ <3 <3 <3 <3 <3. Also, we get to know who she’s in love with. Sadly to me, that ain’t Nayu-chan XD (yeah I know I’ve been the only one hoping that, lol). Anyway, good stuff.

#3 ↑↑ So-Ra-No-Wo-To (10)

Ah~, now that was really a good episode. Beautiful and moving story, and Rio-sempai leaving the platoon was quite a heartbreaking moment… But still, I dunno. It was really good indeed, but I think it’s the lack of ‘happy moments’ which made me rank it lower than Chu-Bra. I mean, I think I’m missing the ‘happy yuriishi slice-of-life’ mood from the early episodes too much…

#4 ↑↑ Ladies vs Butlers! (10)

DAICHI-KUN EPISODE ENCORE. What else can I say ? Daichi goodness from the beginning to the end, she showed tons of cute various faces. But I’m telling you, Daichi-kun : This feeling is not friendship, IT’S LOVE ! No, really, why are they getting rid of Daichi-kun from the love equation ? I WANT THE DAICHI-KUN ENDING ! Now this is Tomomi vs Flameheart-san duel for the end (though Tomomi wasn’t even in love with Hino one episode ago, lol), while Daichi is still the cutest little thing of this show and needs deh happy end.

#5 ↑↑ Kaidan Restaurant (12)

Great episode. This week, the Thriller Restaurant served us a well-balanced meal, containing all the spices of a good Kaidan ep. First story was quite the lulz~ (I want beer XD). Second story was very moving, surely the best story I’ve seen so far in that show. And last story was ‘scary’ (or rather, ‘disturbing’ XD). Gochisou-sama deshita~

#6 ↓↓ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (10)

Enjoyable episode. When the Kinoshita twins confronted each others at the beginning, I thought it would turn into a Hideyoshi episode, but sadly enough it didn’t happen. Maa it was still a rather funny episode, with some Hideyoshi saabisu and even some ‘seriousnees’ and plot. :o For some reason, they brought the old ED back. :/

#7 〓 Omamori Himari (10)

Lot of saabisu (normal thing) and some cute moments. They even used the second track from the OP cd, a song that I quite like. No surprise but still an enjoyable watch.

#8 〓 Kimi ni Todoke (22)

Finally, it’s focusing again on Sawako-chan. But I must say that it doesn’t catch my interest as much as it used to…

Next episode’s preview :
Kurumizawa… KURUMIZAWA WA…
KAETTE KURU NDAAAAA !!! T_T \o/ \o/ \o/ \ô/ \o/

No Railgun corner because I haven’t watched so much Railgun recently. Actually, I’ve started to watch Heartcath Precure (5 episodes released so far), the newest season of the hugely popular mahou shoujo show aimed at little girls but watched by almost every otaku in japan.

This is actually my first Precure season. Since it gets new characters and isn’t related to previous seasons, I thought I could as well give it a watch. Maa, this is mahou shoujo kid show indeed, so the interest is pretty limited. The only entertainments I find in it are mostly Erika-chan’s cuteness and the deep and heartwarming girls friendship. Still, when I’m watching it I feel like I’m commiting some kind of crime, lol~… Anyway, I must say that they do a great job at promoting deep girls friendship in this show. Japan, raising your yurikkos since 1973. I’m not sure I’ll throw this show in the ranking though…

ED is pretty high quality, with great 3D and motion-capture.
I wouldn’t mind watching a whole 3D anime with such quality.

Also, the Spring anime season officially starts in 2 weeks, but we already got a taste from it, since the first episode of Working! got pre-released.

YES, ASUMIS !

… And it was EPIC WIN. Totally hilarious, with fucked-up main guy and uber cute heroine (CV : Kana Asumi, aka Yunocchi in Hidamari Sketch <3 <3 <3 <3). This show was in my first pick already, but it went way beyond my expectations. Definitely the show I’m looking the most forward to with K-On!!. I’m waiting the official release for throwing it in the ranking.

And finally, the Original Net Animation Yutori-chan started, with 4 episodes released so far. The episodes are only 3 minutes long, but they’re really funny. It even gets a bit of yuriish feelings (see below), and Tsumekomi-sempai is love (CV : Kana Hanazawa <3 <3 <3 <3 <3)

Waifu Top 5 : #1 Saten-san, 2# Kiyono, 3#Daichi-kun, 4#Kawashiro-sensei, 5# Erika-chan

This is not an anime blog.

I feel like this blog has been mostly about the weekly ranking recently… I’ve been quite busy lately, so I didn’t really have the time to junk or to think about things to post. And it will continue all this month I guess…

Obligatory reminder : that’s not an overall ranking, just my ‘personal’ appreciation of the latest episode of each show.

#1 ↑↑ Chu-Bra!! (9)

Heh, I never thought I would rank Chu-Bra so high someday. XD Pool and yukata, but more importantly it was awesome ‘Haruka no Yuuutsu’ episode, with Haruka-chan being troubled by her lililicious feelings for Nayu-chan. The part when they’re in the woods, the kokuhaku taimu scene… that was all Love & Piece. Also, I like how Kiyono is so thoughtful despite her attitude. She’s great.

#2 ↓↓ Hanamaru Youchien (8)

No moar Satsuki-chan, but new characters got introduced in the children’s side. Second half was particularly nice and funny, and Hinagiku-chan is so cute~. Kawashiro-sensei, my teacher of love, was also back in the show with a few lines. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

My teacher of love #2, Kakogawa-sensei.
Now that I look at it… these tsurime, this hairstyle… she reminds me of a certain someone… XD

#3 ↑↑ Dance in the Vampire Bund (8)

Wow. My favorite episode so far. All the Mina x Yuki part at the beginning was just so frikkin cute ! Shizuka Ito’s character is back in the story, as a hawt shotacon no-pan vampire seitoukaichou. XD Got also a bit of fighting action. Putting aside how that red-haired vampire woman was ugly (CV : Rie Kugimiya !?!) and that werewolves bishie squad, this episode was really great.

#4 ↑↑ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (9)

Hawt bro-con onee-san KITA. Very funny episode, and again these annoying shoukanjuu were nowhere to be seen. See, this kind of episode is the proof that the show has interesting enough characters for not relying on these battle things. But maybe that’s just me. Only one complaint about this episode : no Hideyoshi saabisu this time.

Hideyoshi seems to be ok with porn magazines, though you can actually see a bit of blushing when looking carefully. Which reminds me : we’ve yet to know if Hideyoshi is into boys or girls. Not a single bit of romance, even as a joke, has been developed around Hideyoshi… ki ni naru ! That really asks for a Hideyoshi episode~

#5 ↓↓ So-Ra-No-Wo-To (9)

Nice Kureha-chan episode. Got a bit of comedy, of pajamas saabisu, of Noel-chan goodness, of drama and GAR. And lot of Kureha-chan cuteness. Huggable. Too bad that this week the other shows were greater, I feel bad when ranking it so lowly…

#6 ↓↓ Ladies vs Butlers! (9)

Tomomi episode. Was ok. Well, the ‘funny’ thing about it is that when an episode focuses on a certain heroine, the girl usually ends up noticing her feelings for the main guy. For a change, the heroine here noticed that she finally doesn’t love the main guy that much, lol… well, until the very last seconds of the episode, that is. XD The loli breast-fondling action was damn HAWT.

Looks like they heard me : next episode is Daichi-kun episode #2 !
GO ! GO ! DAICHI ENDING !

#7 ↓↓ Omamori Himari (9)

Saabisu overload~. So much service that it got censored pretty heavily, lol… though it’s still pretty ‘light’ service compared to Ladies vs Butlers. XD But censored anyway. New arc starts here so nothing really to say about this episode.

#8 〓 Kimi ni Todoke (21)

So apparantly, Chizu-chan arc ends here, and the show will focus on Sawako-chan again.

This week’s A Certain Delusional Railgun Corner

Still catching up with Railgun, but I’m so behind that I can’t put it in the ranking. It would be #1 every weeks anyway. So this week again I’m gonna throw random pics and (delusional) comments in this corner.

Onna no ko to, onna no ko ni deatta.
Soshite, futari no monogatari ga hajimatta.

In their own little world~ (1)

In their own little world~ (2)

Mikoto noticed that Saten-san left, and she ran after her.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Mikoto blaming herself because she couldn’t detect that Saten-san was really feeling bad when she talked to her under that bridge.

Saten-san wants to see Mikoto’s cute swimsuit~

Saten-san rocks my world.

I’ve still of few episodes of Hidamari Sketch x365 left to watch, and then I’ll start watching Hoshimittsu.

This week’s waifu : #1 Saten-san, #2 Kiyono, #3 Kawashiro-sensei, #4 Mina Tepes, #5 Hideyoshi

:beer:

So, this is that day of the week again.

I had a hard time making this week’s ranking, because there was lot of nice moments in every shows… and mizugi everywhere !

Obligatory reminder : that’s not overall ranking, just my ‘personal’ appreciation of the lastest episode of each shows.

#1 〓 Hanamaru Youchien (7)

Same as last week : Mizugi feast in the first half (including Satsuki-chan this time), and Satsuki special in the second half. Add light lulz and cute flashback scenes to that, and you get Love & Piece win. Ah~ Satsuki-chan… I wonder if she will appear again in the show… :/

Again, the ED was a piece of epic greatness.
At least, to me who’s into this kind of “Film Noir” mood, parisian jazz and “Hotel Dusk”-like animation.
And it’s sung by Satsuki-chan (with her onii-chan). Awesome.

#2 ↑↑ Chu-Bra!! (8)

Got everything that makes an otaku happy : Mizugi, onsen, yuri raep, ice-cream bukkake, flying fake breast… But it was also some lovely Mizuno-sensei episode. Still, it was Kiyono who caught my interest the most, I really luv her more and more. Seeing her participating so seriously in the shitagibu’s activities is cute, and her gentle smile (during the scene when she puts some make-up on Mizuno-sensei’s face) is a killer. <3

#3 ↑↑ Ladies vs Butlers! (8)

Moar mizugi ! As expected, the show is getting a bit better now that it stops adding new characters again. Very enjoyable Flameheart-san episode, though I regret that they had to use the old ‘Main guy gets accidentally drunk’ trick for deepening their relationship. Also, since Tomomi knows Daichi’s secret and invited her home, I was really hoping for some yuri raep to happen (like, Tomomi trying to forcibly dress her as a girl and… you know what happen next). But it’s the last scene that made me rank it high. It’s nice to finally see one of the shows taking a step further in the story. Next episode will be Tomomi episode, I seriously hope that Daichi will also get her change at deepening her relationship with Hino. DAICHI ENDING KIBONNU !

#4 ↓↓ So-Ra-No-Wo-To (8)

For a change, SoraWoto was rather servicey. It was mostly Kanata watching over a phone, restraining herself from going to the bathroom (offering lot of ///// faces), and eventually wearing some mahou shoujo-ish dress. Maa, doesn’t mean that this episode was bad. The characters’ quality makes up for the lack of content (especially Noel-chan <3 <3 <3), and I found the part with the priest pretty funny. Still, I can’t help but think that ‘something’ was missing (compared to the early episodes), and at the same time I’m feeling like I was a bit severe with this episode. At the end, we got again a hint that they will most likely enter war (“I want you to save this country”, lol >_> )… orz

On a side note, I wish Miyuki-san (Lucky Star) was a bit more like Filicia-san…

#5 ↑↑ Omamori Himari (8)

For making it short : I really, really loved all the second half of the episode with Kuesu. KUESU IS LOVE. I’d have surely ranked it higher if I didn’t hate the main guy so much. Also, I like how Rinko thinks that the fact that she’s ‘ordinary’ is her weapon of seduction. XD

#6 ↓↓ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (8)

The shoukanjuus are back… But well it was still rather funny, mostly thanks to all the references throughout the episode.

I’d buy a set of these pictures…

#7 ↑↑ Dance in the Vampire Bund (7)

Cool. I found nice how they made us think that Mina was the ‘guy buy’ while it actually wasn’t the case. Led to some touching Akira x Mina moments again. That wouldn’t bother me much if the show ended here, lol.

#8 ↓↓ Kaidan Restaurant (11)

Nothing to say here, was the usual Kaidan Restaurant. Not so scary, not so moving this time.

#9 〓 Kimi ni Todoke (20)

Chizu-chan’s arc continues…

Also, I’ve finished to watch To aru Majutsu no Index recently, which was really a nice show. And finally started to watch To aru Kagaku no Railgun, which is even better, for obvious reason :

DESU NO~

It seems pretty obvious to anybody that the pairings go ‘Mikoto x Kuroko’ and ‘Saten-san x Uiharu’. So far, I’ve only seen fanarts and doujins featuring these pairings, and indeed when watching the OP/ED and the show you can’t help seeing things that way.

But I beg to differ : Saten-san is the one for Mikoto. That’s what I thought when watching the first episode. Really, the development of this episode looked like the perfect start to a cute and deep lililicious love story.

Saten-san luvs Uiharu. Or rather, she luvs Uiharu’s pantsu. XD

But Uiharu luvs Mikoto, she keeps talking about her and how meeting her is her dream, making Saten-san a bit jealous.

So out of jealousy, Saten-san starts bad-mouthing Mikoto, saying how she must be some kind of arrogant ojou-sama.

When alone together with Mikoto, Saten-san feels uneasy because she still have that ‘arrogant ojou-sama’ image in mind.

But Mikoto shows her that she’s actually a nice girl, and Saten-san starts seeing her differently.

Mikoto goes berseck when she sees Saten-san being kicked in the face.

Saten-san is deeply impressed by Mikoto’s power.

… AND LOVE WAS BORN AT THIS VERY MOMENT !!!

Another point is how Mikoto and Saten-san are so different from each others (Mikoto is the strongest ESPer around, Saten-san is a Level 0), it always makes a pairing even better. MIKOTO x SATEN : TOGETHER FOREVER ! *added to the yuri pairings wishing list*

Episode 5 : ^ the most adorable little thing EVAR

A Kuroko x Uiharu is fine too.

As for my Top 5 Waifu of the week, it’s something like : #1 Saten-san, #2 Satsuki, #3 Kiyono, #4 Daichi-kun, #5 Kuesu.

Zic(s) du moment :
Harumi Kamo – Seishun no Prelude

Vous n’êtes pas sans l’ignorer, mais la chaine Gulli repasse dans son émission “Télé Grenadine” les épisodes du très culte Slam Dunk version shoujo, Jeanne & Serge (“Attacker YOU !” en VO).

Donc je matais l’OP et sa chanson qui fait sans doute partie maintenant du patrimoine national (j’imagine que tout les Serge et toutes les Jeanne de france ce sont fait chanter cette chanson par quelqu’un), et je me disais que j’avais jamais encore checké l’opening original. Et en fait…

… il décalotte son luigi ! XD

En plus y’a un karaoke ! Tous ensemble !

Hashiridasu, fune ga tsukuru
namishibuki no you ne
kuishibaru shiroi ha kara
koboreta hohoemi wa
ima futari, Seishun Prelude !

Yubi to yubi no sukima soko ni wa taiyou ga aru wa
Koi to koi no sukima soko ni wa ai ga nozoku~
YES I’M A SUNSHINE !
Kono hizashi wo agetai no yo
SUNSHINE !
Karadajuu ni kanjite
Ima futari, Seishun Prelude !

Kurushimi to, kanashimi to ga
kurosu shiteru yoru mo
kirakira to, tanoshisa kara
hajimaru asa ni, kawaru~

Comme les vagues que fait
le bateau qui fonce à travers les flots
Mon sourire qui débordait
de mes dents blanches serrées
Maintenant pour tous les deux, Seishun Prelude !

Entre mes doigts, je vois le soleil là-bas
Entre deux romances, l’amour guette
Yes I’m a sunshine !
Je veux te donner ce rayon de soleil
Sunshine !
Que tu le sentes dans tout ton corps
Maintenant pour tous les deux, Seishun Prelude !

Même la nuit où se croisent
la douleur et la tristesse
Changera en un matin
éblouissant et joyeux

Traduction vite-fait plus ou moins littérale,  pour le lulz XD

Ils passent aussi la série Sherlock Holmes de Hayao Miyazaki, pour ceux que ça interesse…

Today’s sunday, time for the weekly ranking.

As always, this is not overall ranking. Just a ranking based on my appreciation of the latest episode of each show.

Note that this week’s Dance In The Vampire Bund is absent from the ranking because it has been released too late. Since next week’s episode (the 8th) is supposed to be a recap episode, I guess I’ll throw episode 7 in next week’s ranking…

#1 ↑↑ Hanamaru Youchien (6)

First half was full of lulz and Yamamoto-sensei saabisu~. It was great. As for the second half… TSUNDERE BRO-CON IMOUTO KITAAAAAAAAAA !!!! What else can I say ? Satsuki is love ! Horete shimatta ! And epic Y-shirt scene at the end. That was just too awesome for words. I’m in love.

The ED was just splendid.
Cool animation and song, and it gets adorable scenes from the beginning to the end. The design reminded me AniKoi a lot (see manga category ‘Ani Koi’). If Ani Koi ever gets an anime adaptation, I hope Gainax will make it and that it will looks like this ED !

#2 ↓↓ So-Ra-No-Wo-To (7)

And so, what I feared kinda happened. War, tears, and cute girls dying. Well that was just Filicia-san’s flashback scene, but still… History repeats itself like they say, it is to be expected that our cute 1121st Platoon will eventually enter war I guess. Anyway, overally it was still a very nice episode, saved by some very moving yuriish scene at the end.

#3 〓 Chu-Bra!! (7)

This time, the episode focused mostly on the guy, but it was still full of Kiyono goodness, and more importantly (to me) Haruka being all down after that her beloved Nayu-chan received a love letter. Haruka-san, it’s about time you make your move on Nayu-chan, or else Komachi-kun will get her first ! … Maa, if it had to happen you could still take comfort in Yako-chan’s DFC though~ (personally, Kiyono x Nayu kibonnu). At the end, there was that ‘How to wear a garter belt’ section that was trying to make us think that this show is actually aimed at girls, but I hardly believe anybody fell for it.

#4 ↑↑ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (7)

Shouko-tan episode~. Yet again an episode in which the shoukanjuu were nowhere to be seen, means a good episode. Shouko is just too cute. I was wondering why the hell Yuuji was pushing away such a cute girl, and it started to irritate me. But we somewhat learn the reason at the end, and I must say that finally, Yuuji frikkin rocks. He’s really a cool guy. And Shouko’s fabulous smile at the end speaks for it. I totally liked how Hideyoshi (with no hairpin <3 ) took part in the whole date plan thing too. XD Surprisingly enough, quite the plotter~. IT’S ABOUT TIME WE GET A HIDEYOSHI EPISODE, DON’T YOU THINK ?

w00t new ED ! The song isn’t particularly good or anything, but yay for seifuku feast !
Also, you can really tell who is the real heroine of the show… XD

#5 ↓↓ Ladies vs Butlers (7)

To be totally honest, I can’t say this episode particularly caught my interest. I mean, all the mahou shoujo stuff. Was still a decent watch, mostly the birth of a love between two lolis was heartwarming to watch. I guess the show will be a bit better from now on, since it will stop adding new characters again and again, and will focuse more on the ones already here.

#6 〓 Omamori Himari (7)

Nothing much to say about it. Keeps becoming a bit more interesting every weeks, story-wise. Main guy still sucks as always.

#7 〓 Kimi ni Todoke (19)

Continues with Chizu’s very predictable love story (I mean, everybody guessed the whole thing about Ryu’s onii-san, right ?). Sawako is still super cute, crying over other people’s problems. Yet again no Kurumizawa. Only good thing in this episode was that I got again a bit of screentime…

So I guess we’re now halfway in this season, no ? Time for adding a Top 10 of my waifus so far (originally it was supposed to be a Top 5, but it was just too hard to choose only 5 characters XD ) ! Well, this ranking may vary a lot every weeks, depending on one character’s appearance…

Winter 2010 Waifu Top 10

#1 ↑ Satsuki Tsuchida (Hanamaru)
#2 ↓ Ume Kurumizawa (KimiTodo)
#3 ↑ Hideyoshi Kinoshita (BakaTest)
#4 ↑ Kiyono Amahara (ChuBra)
#5 ↓ Kawashiro-sensei (Hanamaru)
#6 ↓ Kaoru Daichi (LvsB)
#7 ↓ Minami Shimada (BakaTest)
#8 ↓ Noel Kannagi (SoraWoto)
#9 ↓ Kureha Suminoya (SoraWoto)
#10 ↓ Mina Tepes (Vampire Bund)

Also, came across the Spring 2010 Anime Chart recently…

Well, no need to mention that K-on!! is the show I’m looking forward the most. But for the other shows, I don’t really know…

1st pick should be : Mayoi Neko Overun and KissxSis (obligatory service fix), and Working!.

Then as a 2nd pick, maybe B Gata H Kei, Angel Beats, Arakawa under the bridge, and Yutori-chan… It will mostly depends on how many anime I can get.

I mean, if things go well for me (or rather, if I’m motivated enough), I should be in japan at the beginning of april. I should have an internet connection over there, probably better than the one I’m using now, lol. But good enough for getting anime, that is not for sure… well, as long as I can watch K-on!!…

:beer:

Is it sunday already ? Damn, time sure flies at high speed…

Anyway, it’s time for this week’s ranking. Last week’s level was pretty high, so I haven’t so much things to say about this week’s episodes. But there was still a lot of enjoyable moments.

Again, note that the ranking only takes the latest released episode into account. Also, this ranking is more about how much I enjoyed each episode than about the episode’s quality itself.

No Kaidan Restaurant this week since the subs haven’t been released for the 11th episode.

#1 〓 So-Ra-No-Wo-To (6)

Nothing to say about it in particular, cute episode. I’m so scared that this show may eventually become drama (as I said last week), that they totally got me with the fake mafia thing. XD When they started to shot the guys, I was like “Noooooooo… orz” lol. On a side note, they were all hawt with their black suit. Especially Kureha-chan, who on top of that even shown a bit of yuri-tsundere for Rio-sempai, making me happy considering what happened in the previous episode with Klaus-san. XD Second half of the episode was all awww~ and ;_; .

#2 〓 Hanamaru Youchien (5)

First half was really funny, and second half really cute. I just have one complain about this episode : it was totally focusing on the children, so all the hawt female teachers were absent. Maa we got a very tiny bit of Kawashiro-sensei (mai enje~ru), but Yamamoto-sensei was nowhere to be seen. :/

The cute highschooler from the OP will finally appear in the next episode, I was really looking forward to that. <3
And she’s Tsuchi’s (bro-con ?) imouto ! Can’t wait~
Mizugi action incoming too~

#3 〓 Chu-Bra!! (6)

Haha, I said last week how much I liked Nayu’s point of view about pantsu, and how the way she talks of them is so moving (lol), making this anime deeper than how it looks. And now we get the total opposite : the slutty rival who thinks that pantsu are women’s weapon and are for seducing men. XD Maa anyway, Kiyono is hawt and win, with some very cute dere side. Her seiyuu is Mio’s (K-on!) seiyuu, so hearing her saying ‘sex’ and ‘pantsu’ is pretty amusing. XD Nice episode~

lol @ that ‘collage’ at the end after the ED… Shown this way, this scene gets a whole different meaning that I particularly like XD
Or maybe it’s some kind of hint about who’s the person Kiyono is in love with ? NAYU LILILICIOUS HAAREMU ?!?!!

#4 ↑↑ Ladies vs Butlers! (6)

Reverse trap episode KITA ! As expected, very nice and cute episode. I’m just wondering why, when she dressed into a maid at the end, they made her having such hueg (fake) breasts. Considering her size, that was just looking ugly. DFCs are not loved in this show and it saddens me a bit. XD Which reminds me, last week I said “Does she really need bandages for hiding her DFC ?”, and apparantly I’m not the one thinking that. XD The fact that Hino didn’t notice that Daichi was a girl though he saw her naked 2 times in the bathroom is lulz~. Fighto, Daichi ! I’m so rooting for her as the girl who should get the happy end with Hino. Go go Daichi Ending !

Gao~ !

#5 ↓↓ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (6)

You know, BakaTest 6 is one of these episodes which aren’t 25 minutes long, but one hour long. ‘Cause you’re too busy taking screenshots. Seriously. This episode was intense mizugi action. In fact, it was so sparkling with moe and Hideyoshi goodness that I don’t even remember why the hell all the gang gets to use the pool during sunday. But who cares. a good episode of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is an episode with no Shoukanjuu and lot of lulz and saabisu.

#6 ↑↑ Omamori Himari (6)

The best episode so far in my opinion. Yuki Matsuoka’s character , Kuesu, finally appeared, and she’s hawt. Her fight with Shizuku was cool. Himari was cute as always and seeing her all happy at the end after she got kissed was heartwarming~. Happy Himari makes me happy. Maa the main guy and his freaking annoying voice continue to ruin the best parts, but that was still a very enjoyable episode.

THAT WAS SO HAWT !

#7 〓 Dance in the Vampire Bund (6)

Interesting episode, since the cute Mina Tepes finally happens to be the ‘bad guy’ of the show, and the main guy is on his way for fighting her. I wonder how it will turn out in next episodes. Sadly enough, most of the scenes keep being ruined by the silly effects. It’s ok in Hidamari Sketch, since it’s a comedy show. But here… lol

#8 ↓↓ Kimi ni Todoke (18)

Still enjoyable to watch, but now the show is focusing on secondary characters’ love story. Maa I like Ryu a lot, but I just couldn’t care less about it. AND I WANT KURUMIZAWA BACK.

“Kurumizawaaaaaa~ !!!”
Get back up, Me !

It’s sudden, but I’ve decided to bring the ‘Anime (spoilers)‘ category back to life.

Well, firstly, it’s kind of out of boredom. Today is sunday, don’t really feel like doing anything. Secondly, it’s out of inspiration, ’cause I wanted to find something to post while breaking the junk posts combo. And finally, it’s also out of frustration, cause I’ve been able to watch a decent amount of shows recently, so I sometimes feel like saying a word or two about some of them and spreading some <3s around.

I’ve been internetless for 2 years+ now, so following anime has been quite difficult, but since latest summer season I somewhat manage to watch most of them. Well, it’s also thanks to the fact that the number of shows per season has dropped dramatically (In 2006-2007 I was watching 4-5 episodes of differents animes each night, now I’m watching 2-3 eps once every two nights, lol). So far I’ve been quite reluctant to do anime posts, mostly because of the scary amount of anime blogs around, and also because the free internet connection I’m using is damn slow so it doesn’t really encourage me to post. But still, raising the number of posts on this shitty blog was one of my resolutions for 2010, if possible with higher variety in the content… not that these posts are meant to be interesting or anything though…

Anyway. Time for some random pics and talk about the episodes released this week. Since this is the first post of the season, you will find links to ANN for the summaries, because I won’t do it myself. Also, pics aren’t necessarily from the latest episode, but you’ll be able to tell, I guess.

Note that the ranking only takes the latest episode into account. That is not a overall ranking.

#1 〓 So-Ra-No-Wo-To (5)

The ‘all-girls yuriish iyashi-kei slice-of-life’ anime of the season. Which means, automatic first fav to me. Well at least, as long as it doesn’t turn into war anime with cute girls dying and all it will stay at first place… orz Seeing them training at the very begining of the episode scared me a bit, but thankfully the rest of the episode was the same heartwarming awesomeness as always, and this ep in particular was really great. I loved the part when they’re playing in the river very much~

It came out of nowhere, but cute twintail yuri tsundere Kureha-chan luvs deh GAR.
Screw Klaus-san, I want my Kanata x Kureha x Noel lililicious love triangle ! XD

Though Evangelion never really piqued my interest, I usually go blindly for every Gainax work, because their original shows are great and their choice of unknow manga to be adapted always successful. And that’s the case here yet again. Very nice iyashi-kei slice-of-life comedy show. And they had the good idea of choosing Erino Hazuki as the female lead (in the adult side that is), which makes the iyashi-kei feeling of the show even higher (second part of episode 3, with Yamamoto-sensei as the narrator, really sounded like an episode of Aria XD ). So this one is a very very close second. If it could turn into a harem anime, that would definitely make it my first fav though. XD I mean, look at all these cute teachers ! They’re all so hawt, particularly the meganekko Kawashiro-sensei that I fell in love with as soon as I heard her speak (seiyuu is Naomi Wakabayashi, Ritsuko in The iDOLM@STER). <3 <3 <3

On a side note, best OP and EDs of the season.

NEED MOAR KAWASHIRO-SENSEI

#3 ↑↑ Chu-Bra!! (5)

ANN

Blatent fanservice here, I wouldn’t suggest this one to anybody especially if you’re not ok when seeing middleschoolers in their underwears most of the time (and naked the rest of the time lol). Though, this show is definitely much deeper than at first look, surprisingly enough. It sure changes the way you see pantsu. I mean, never before, discussions about pantsu have been so moving. XD Another point I find interesting, is that it makes you ask yourself : “Does liking to wear sexy underwears necessarily make a girl a slut ?” “Can’t girls wear cute pantsu for their own pleasure and not for guys ?”. It really ends up being a nice and funny show about tolerance and makes change your way of thinking on a few things. This episode was particularly good, with nice humor and light drama… and even yuri XD

#4 ↑↑ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (5)

ANN

The first couple of episodes was boring like hell, but it’s progressively becoming better, mostly thanks to the fact that they put all the ‘Tactical-RPGish’ fights aside, which are stupid IMO. That, and the fact that episodes 3 and 4 focused a lot on Kaori Mizuhashi’s character. Episode 5 was clearly the best so far. It was really crazy, and the Akihisa-Yuuji-Hideyoshi trio was funny and it made a good combi, it’s one of the rare times during which I enjoyed following the adventures of male characters. Less fights, less gay megane-kun and less pervert with the camera I don’t even feel like remembering his name, and this show would be really better. Ah, and moar Kaori Mizuhashi and Hideyoshi (Emiri Katou) of course.

#5 ↑↑ Kaidan Restaurant (10)

ANN

Though this is supposed to be a scary show for kids, Kaidan Restaurant usually ends up being a rather moving show. That was the case here yet again, with three really nice stories. For a change, Reiko-chan got a nice amount of appearance this time. XD

#6 ↓↓ Ladies vs Butlers! (5)

ANN

Typical but very enjoyable highly servicey school-comedy. Mostly thanks to its good characters. Hino is far from being your habitual jerk and is rather a nice guy, Tomomi’s evil side is delightful, and Flameheart-san’s tsundere side is cute. It really makes the whole thing enjoyable and I quite like this show, it got 6th place only because the latest episodes of the other shows were greater this time. But next episode is about the reverse trap (seiyuu : Rie Kugimiya), can’t wait for it. XD On a side note : does she really need bandages for hiding her DFC ? lol~

#7 ↓↓ Kimi ni Todoke (17)

ANN

It’s always a great pleasure to follow the evolution of the uber cute Sawako-chan, but… The ‘Kurumizawa arc’ ended two episodes ago, and I sure grew a lot of love for her recently. New arc started, and just as I feared Kurumizawa suddenly became nowhere to be seen. :/

On a side note : Ryu is lulz~

#8 〓 Dance in the Vampire Bund (5)

ANN

Rather interesting show, when putting aside how Shizuka Itou’s character died in a fucked-up way in episode 3. What I like the most about it is of course the delicious Mina Tepes, and her relation with the main guy that I find touching. But overally I think that the animation and all the ‘special effects’ they’re using most of the time are ridiculous and exhausting to watch, making some dramatic moments rather laughable. Maa, it seems that SHAFT is liked by ‘elitist’ otacunts for that reason though… >_>

#9 〓 Omamori Himari (5)

ANN

Uber typical servicey show without a bit of originality, but ain’t it the reason why we’re watching it ? Himari is cute and HAWT, and this is enough of a reason for watching the show, not mentionning delicious loli Shizuku, everybody can find what they like. But this show has a huge flaw that makes it the one I like the least in this season : the main guy sucks so much that it hurts, his reactions are always terribly ridiculous, and his voice is SO FUKKIN ANNOYING that it makes some part of the show very painful to watch. And what a coincidence, his seiyuu, Daisuke Hirakawa, is also the seiyuu of Makoto from School Days, aka the worst male lead ever created in anime history ! :o JUST STOP GIVING JOB TO THIS GUY ALREADY, FOR ANIME’S SAKE !

# Out of rank, because the subs are far behind : Anyamal Tantei Kiruminzoo.

ANN

Kid show which is surprisingly enough rather entertaining. The show is overally pretty funny, and some parts really get great animation and art, like that random scene in episode 5 when they’re playing in the high grass, that was really cool and soothing. Another good point is that the voice cast gets Sakura Tange (Sakura in Card Captor Sakura), which is a rare thing. The latest released episode, episode 6, was particularly crazy and the funniest episode so far~. But latest aired episode is episode 17, hence the fact that I didn’t put it in the ranking.

As for Hidamari Sketch x☆☆☆, I’m not watching it cause I’m actually catching up by watching the second season. Same goes for To aru Kagaku no Railgun, I’m watching Index now. Yeah, I know that these shows are actually not related, but it’s just that I felt like doing things in order. As for the other shows… it’s just that I’m not watching them.

See ya next week… maybe.

Zic(s) du moment :
Bob Marley – Waiting in vain

Just watched the 14th episode of Fall 2009/Winter 2010 top shoujo anime ‘Kimi ni todoke’. There was that scene at the end, when Sawako goes find Kurumi-chan for telling her feelings towards Kazehaya…

Well, that was some rather moving scene, but when watching it there was that voice inside me asking for THIS :

K : “Anta nante… daikirai !”
S : “Yosh yosh~… (Kurumi-chan kawaii~ <3)

^ quickly made for expressing my feelings orz.

I was really thinking that they would hug or something but it never happened. Dunno, she deserves what she gets indeed, but I’m actually starting to feel bad for her and to grow some luv for her. That would be nice if she could finally notice how Sawako is a nice girl and grow some lililicious love for her~ XD

Today’s random scans posting action is about a manga I fell in love with recently, which also is actually being animated : Sora no Manimani.

I decided to check this manga when I saw the news about it being animated about 3 months ago in Newtype. Well, I will start by saying this :

If you’re not already reading/watching this, you fail.

I won’t talk about the story ’cause well… it actually doesn’t get much of a story. This is a ‘slice-of-life’ manga about an astronomy club, an iyashi-kei manga filled with Love & Piece, comedy, and a very bit of drama. If you’re into this, you just can’t miss it.

And more importantly… You never saw such a high concentration of cute girls in a manga in you life, EVAR. From the main characters, to the unnamed background sub-characters, this manga gets nothing but lovely female characters.

Ok, I guess it’s enough for an introduction. Now let’s spread many <3s as usual~

Mihoshi, the adorable genki baka who’s crazy about stars~
Saku, the main guy, is some kind of mix of Kyon and Yuuki (genderswapped Nagato) : a ‘tsukkomi’ bookworm who joins the astronomy club (not totally) against his will.

Sayo, Mihoshi’s best friend.
SO BEAUTIFUL <3 <3 <3

And then comes my fav character so far, Hime-chan.
MY ANGEL <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Buchou : “Actually, they’re not going out together…”
Hime : “EH ?”
Hime : “Buchou-san, I’m joining the astronomy club !”
XD <3
oh man that face of her on the right page… <3 <3 <3

It gets also some hawt seitokaichou, Kotozuka-sempai, aka Fuumin~
<3 <3 <3

Epic intro page for epic chapter. Hime XD

Right page : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Mihoshi : “If you dress like that, you won’t complain if you get attacked… by mosquitos !!!”
lol~

Sayocchi <3 <3 <3
Well, sadly enough that’s pretty unlikely that she will join the love equation tho… yeah, I was hoping it would become harem manga…

The girl in the very first panel is Yoko, some lovely huge random classmate who appears occasionally. So damn cute <3
Also, she’s in love with the main guy~

Saku escapes from club’s activities, and the bookworm meets the bookworm~
I feel something nice is happening~
… not mentionning that the seitoukaichou is actually astronomy club’s natural enemy XD

Hime~ <3 <3 <3 <3
Her onee-san should tell her that when wearing pajamas, pants are unnecessary. Pajama-shita nante kazari desu, erai hito ni wa sore ga wakaranai no desu.

End of volume 1~
Right page, bottom right panel : DEH LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I’m glad I picked up that manga~

Back cover : a hint about how will evolve the love equation ?
Anyway, many <3s

Volume 2, and SoraMani continues to get cute background characters, such as Hime’s friends Emiri (<3 <3 <3 <3 <3< 3) and Mayu (<3 <3 <3).

Mihoshi, so adorable~
naisu sukkinshippu~

Hime~ XD
lulz and many <3s

SAYOCHIN IS HAWT
Left pages : moar cute background chars : Izumi-san (short hair) and Yoshinari-san (long hair) from the literature club.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hime : SO CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Emiri <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

One thing got confirmed in this second volume : Fuumin is my second fav <3

Volume 3, and new cute girls just never stop to appear XD
Saku’s best (?) friend’s imouto, Miku-chan.
SO DAMN CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The crew starts sharing activities with other schools’ astronomy club, which means even more cute girls appearing~
Such as Ayumi, aka Oumi-tan.
Man those tsurime of her are hawt <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

There are also these 2 ‘stars otaku’ (?) from an all-girl school.
Instantly grew love for the one with long dark hair. <3

But still… Hime-chan is just the BEST.
Most epic Hime-chan moment EVAR XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Omake pages are Oumi-tan flashback.
aww she was all boyish before~

Volume 4, that I’ve just finished to read.
As always, was overflowing with intense Love & Piece~
Obligatory “Main guy bumps into the meganekko and accidentally breaks her glasses” chapter XD

She can’t see anything without her glasses~
Right page, bottom right panel : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Even though Hime is my fav, I can’t help but feel for a short moment that Fuumin should be the one for Saku when she comes up with such a smile.

Square glasses~
Cute ! <3
Right page, upper right panel : Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3

Mihoshi is constantly in need for skinship, that’s why I luv her so much~
Mihoshi x Hime <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Ok, starting here it’s all about my beloved star otaku XD
Boku no mai enje~ru~

Right page : she eventually gets a proper introduction !
Her name is Akina~
Awesome otaku girl B is Minami (she’s called by her last name for some reason).
Left page : as you can expect from SoraMani, Minami is actually quite a beauty too~

nyari~ <3

And well yeah, they’re stars otaku XD
omg Akina luvs deh GARness XD

Funny face~

She also appears on the back cover !
Yay colors~

6 books have been released so far. See ya soon with volume 5~

===

As I said at the beginning of this post, the anime is actually being aired. I don’t find the character design to be as cute as in the manga, but that’s still a very cute and enjoyable show. I like the opening very much~

Hime-chan anime version <3

Sayo is still totally hawt and beautiful in the anime <3 <3 <3

Anime gets also Youko-tan~

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Left pic : The literature club = Otome no rakuen ! <3
Right pic : Yoshinari-san, right in the middle. She actually gets some nice boobage XD <3 <3 <3 <3
Some another very cute girl also appeared on the right, a bit separated from the others for some reason.

Love & Piece~

MY ANGEL !

The way this scene was animated reminded me of THIS. XD

ザ・lovely sub-characters.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3
Emiri looks particularly cute with these red cheeks <3
… but I thought she was actually blonde. :o (her hair aren’t colored in the manga). I wish Edogama-imouto Miku-chan got a proper introduction like in the manga…

Fuumin is totally HAWT.
Kudos to her seiyuu Ami Koshimizu (Tenma in School Rumble), great work.

That was the 100th post of this blog~

One last junk before taking some vacation.

Hayate no Gotoku got a new OP. But let’s not forget how nice the previous one was. Especially this part that I was never bored of :

I’ve come to think recently that Izumi is the one for Hayate, but some Red x Blue is always welcome.

And now, omake time~

Again, made some quick portrait-ish junks before getting started. Well, thanks to that I could notice that Izumi looks more “Izumi-like” when her iris and upper ‘eyelid’ aren’t connected, unlike here.

Accidentally put contrast to max, and I thought that it actually looked kind of nice like this… but that’s probably just me XD

===

As for the new OP…

I like the song of the previous OP better. Moreover, the new song gets too much effects and sounds like it’s being sung by a chipmunk. ^^;

But anyway, what’s more important is that this new OP is win for being full of intense MOE~.

Few pics from it :

Left : <3 <3 <3
Right : XD
Hina and Ayu appear a lot in this new OP, definitly giving the feeling that they are the true main heroines of the show.

NUOOOO !
This show is awesomely DFC.

NUOOOOOOOO !!!
I liked how this part is animated, and Miki’s ‘sexy’ pose. XD

NUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!
My fav part from the new OP. XD
Saku <3 <3 <3

A-

MA-

ZING !
Hina <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Dunno if I’ll be able to post anything during vacation, so see ya in september~
