    Judging from the last page I'd wager there were a few other people watching it

      It's probably the rudest Anime i've watched (due to little skirts etc)

      but it funny, shame there isnt more monsters or bigger fights

      the last 2 episodes were particularly enjoyable
      There some killer fights in the manga, but we'll be lucky if we get that with the 2/3eps remaining but there might just be time for Tsu'k to get mashed up enough to his powerup as cliff hanger if there looking to do another season. Look up franky house manga scanners for translated ch19-33, its as enjoyable as most shounen mangas.

      Speaking of which

      DGM ch150/151 -

      Lenlee powerup time me thinks, as lvl4 has totally destroyed everything in its path with Allen to far away/hurt to make the save.

        Ive been reading the Rosario+Vampire manga. Which is 10times better, totally different to the anime especially the plot hole i mentioned in spoiler tags in a previous post. Why such a drastic change for the tv show? Its very doable, is it because its on an early time in the day or something. :/

        Ive read 20 vols so far.

          Just powered through the manga from start to finish to get up to date. Much better than when it started.

          Expecting brother sacrifice possibly to distract the level 4. I wish they'd bring back Lenalee's long hair though. She just doesn't suit short as well. She's been needing a power-up for ages now though. I was a bit disappointed that she seemed to do nothing at all during the ark collapse section.



          Zero; the general consensus seems to be that the reason turned out like it has is because it was Gonzo put in charge with it. Although I'll grant them that they're making more use of Mizore than the manga has which is fine by me.

          Edit: also, it appears they've cut Clannad down by an episode. I've heard mutterings that it actualy finishes with 22, 23 is a summer episode and 24 is a DVD only episode. Odd to say the least.

          Edit 2: Having just watched 21 and seeing the preview for the next ep saying "Final Episode", it seems those mutterings turn out to be true. Hrmmm.

            Didn't realise Gonzo are in charge of it. Now it makes a whole lot of sense.

              Clannad 21 - Well I'd read impressions beforehand from game fans who were in an uproar so I was expecting something bad. Having seen it I didn't get what was wrong with it. I suppose it's one of those things where I'd have to be familiar with the game to properly comment. I do hope there's another season or whatever to animate the After story stuff. The episode itself...

              Will be interesting to see how she handles things now after having found out about her parents. Got some chuckles from Akio and Tomoya and a bit of the banter between them.

              Not gone horribly wrong (for me) yet, another solid episode.

              True Tears ep 11 -

              I don't know if it was what Tobal was talking about but it looks like the line by Hiromi in the next ep preview from episode 10 was indeed a red herring. She said it to Jun. Jun himself has some interesting lines in the next ep preview for this one but as ever I'll wait until I watch it because more often than not it's been about throwing you off the trail so to speak. Good to see Ai and Nobuse starting over. Maybe this time it might work out. Still hard to see who Shin is going to end up with, he still seems to think about Noe even when he's with Hiromi. This episode seemed to tip the balance in Noe's favour even if Hiromi did make a move on Shin.

                Gundam00 ep20/21 - Really heating up now,

                Saji gets crap on again with his sisters murder, double crosses and the new GNX drive's giving the gundam a run for there money, found it a little strange they cut away from the thrones vs China GNX battle with out finishing it and instead showing us CB vs USA/Europe GNX which is a pretty dam good battle... poor lockon could be dead but the MwFruga stuff from Seed has me wondering if he can survive in a depressurised suit(Mw took and explosion lol). And man does Graham prove his the star of the show, every time his on screen he's always delights i hope he does own many a gundam in his flag.



                True Tears ep11 -

                I think it leaned towards noe in that ep as well. The classic thinking about another girl while talking to another popped up, can't remember hiromi getting the same treatment when Shin's with Noe. Could still easily go either way. Also good for Ai/Nob, at least someones getting some happiness.



                DGM ep74 - some really nice animated fights between the noah's and the Exorcists. Which for once looked better than the manga,

                the stuff with the close up on the Earl and Allen's arrival looked damm cool.

                  Gundam 00 Triple Bill (20,21,22):


                  the powerblocs finally have a unit on equal footing with the gundams, but because its so late into the first season i doubt we'll get any really epic gundam battles till season 2 now, bar possibly in the final ep

                  first the GN arms are finally revealed, although they havent been docked to exia properly yet, as far as i know the GN Arms are practically clones of the meteor add-ons that freedom and justice got at the end of SEED, i reckon we'll get 1 glimpse of them docked with exia in the final ep before they get properly introduced in season 2

                  then they show us the Trans-am system and 'devil exia' as ive now dubbed it, again i doubt we'll only get a glimpse of its full potential in the final ep

                  also it looks like neena(sp?) is going to be the only survivor of throne, i think she'll somehow mellow abit and atone for all the stuff she's been doing and somehow inherit exia when setsuna gets his upgrade to unit 00 sometime in season 2, either that or she'll die horribly in the next 2 eps, or very early on in season 2

                  it all just seems to be setting stuff up for season 2 now rather than giving us any real closure for the first season, but i wont complain as long as we get a decent battle for the end of this season hopefully without a ****fest code geass cliff hanger

                  also sucks to be saji

                  Comment


                    It's definitely a step up from how it was at the beginning.


                    Nice to see they're finally giving character to Tieria instead of making him a complete **** all the time. The Saji scene in 21 was made so much more humourous thanks to this spoiler picture.
                    I'm wondering what will happen to Nena as well though. Whether she'll ultimately become part of the side against Setsuna et all or join up with them. Bit of a lol to see Kamina's character die again though.

                    As for the finale, I'm wondering if we'll see anymore revelations about whatever's supposed to be happening at Jupiter. Perhaps some kind of fleet or something.

                    Comment


                      I quite liked the code geass cliffhanger except for the bit where I'm left wondering what's going to happen next?

                      Anyway, the last few gundam episodes have been good. It's really come into its own now. Unfortunately I got spoiled for one of the major events for 23 so I know what'll happen and I'm not looking forward to it.


                      Saji is just getting shat on. Surely gonna have a big role in the next season as a Shinn type character. Ali is a bastard but I love him for it, I only wish he had finished off Nena. Still I do hope he gets his comeuppance. New exia was pretty cool. All I want now is more Graham pwnage and I'll be set.



                      edit: and I started reading the soul eater manga in preparation for the new show. I really like it. The first volume at least was quite fanservicey but the second volume seems to be more about the fights. It doesn't take itself too seriously which is always good and has a rather unique style about it. I've heard it described as Tim Burton-esque which I guess is pretty apt. I love some of the characters already, especially the obsessive compulsive guy, he's great. I can also see why they might be showing two versions and I can see the sort of stuff they'd leave in for the late night slots. Having read it I'm more excited about it now.

                      It sort of reminds me of Rosario (only I don't know if Rosario's manga is as fanservicey as this) but with BONES in charge I'm more optimistic about the outcome of the adaptation.

                        Gundam 00 ep22 - got around to watching, and dam that was some good fighting.

                        The Thrones got royally boned from the china's surperior skills(that rotating teamwork was totally nuts) to Ali's ass kicking and i let out a massive holy **** when Exila powered up TRANS-AM and started moving super fast(always my fav kind of powerup). Also it seemed my prediction of Slutty staying alive (see page 348 ) came true for now.



                        Aria 0 ep9 - seems a good week for top notch episodes and this is another. We get a full Alice episode and thanks to all the character development over the years the ending to the ep is really special..

                        although it was telegraphed this was a promotion coming from the moment Athena wanted to be a customer what we got for the pay off was not expected, que plenty of when Athena took the second glove off.. i mean wow, that's gotta put Akari and Aika under some pressure(and jealousy) when the happness for Alice wears off and its looks like Aika will take it harder from the preview which is kinder expected being she thinks she is the talentless one .

                        the episode also nails in that show is getting closer to finishing forever

                          Being the impatient fellow I am, I also caught up with Soul Eater and I must admit, I'm quite liking it too. It occasionally drops to being a bit generic at times but overall it's fairly interesting, especially with some of the latest stuff. Trailer for it makes it look quite good too although Soul's voice is a touch deeper than I'd have thought. Maka's is quite good. Really impatient for the spring season to start. Just a couple more weeks.

                          Edit: Also trying to watch Gintama since it looks like it'll get ahead of the manga due to lack of subbing. Hmmmmm. It's good but I still feel the jokes are better transmitted through the manga. Some of the voice choices really nail the characters though like Zura and Shinpachi.

                          Edit 2: Aria O ep 9: Expected but awesome. They've really improved from how the second series was to return it to the levels of the first series. Superb. I don't want it to end!

                          EDIT 3 OH GOD WHEN WILL IT END: There's also an anon version of Zoku 5 hanging around on TT. Despite the 2 previous bastard attempts of fakes, this one is actually legitimate and supposedly reasonable to watch. Missing the kareoke and most of the background text but myeh, better than a kick in the face.

                            Yeah. I saw the trailer earlier today. Captures the feel of the manga nicely. As you said though, not that keen on the voicing for Soul. I expected it to be more younger sounding for example like Black Star's. I thought that was pretty much spot on. I guess I'll have to wait and see, perhaps I'll grow to like them. Things are looking pretty positive for me overall though.

                              last ep of the TRC: Tokyo Revelation OVA is out, and its pretty amazing just like the last 2:


                              with having cut this arc out of the original 2 series of the anime, and me not getting up to this arc in the manga yet (finished vol 11 last night so not sure how far im actually off), there was quite a few developments i didnt know about, i knew about the 2 syaorans, but didnt know about the clone robbing Fai's eye and Fai ending up as some sort of vampire

                              also sakura was pretty badass in the last section when she went off to get that glowing stone thing, the bit where CCS sakura showed up completely threw me tho, i dont know if this is explained later on in the manga, or if it was just the production team making a nod to the original sakura or what, just seemed abit random

                              was also nice how they tied in watanuki's little water collection story from xxxHolic with TSR



                              i so want another series or OVA now, preferably by Production IG again, but id gladly take anymore animated Tsubasa, i know there were rumours of a 3rd proper series floating around, anyone heard anything more?

                              Comment


                                Man, they really did the Tokyo arc justice.

                                Bit worried that they might have tried to tone down how Sakura gets pretty badly injured in the journey but it's nice to see they kept faithful to the source. (well not nice for Sakura but you know) Plus! Plot revealed at last! 2 seasons and a movie it took them to explain what the hell was going on.



                                With regards to the middle bit of your spoiler;

                                The glowing stone is, I think, related to something in 'holic. No idea how far you are in that so I won't say what. The ccs sakura I think could be one of 2 things - either something realting to yet another plot revelation which I can't mention unless you're up to date with the manga or it was some kind of incarnation of the feather that was sealed in the container leading her back to where it was.



                                Top stuff though. I'm glad they made the effort to get that ova done since it really picks the series back up for those who were slightly bored by the first series. Not heard anything more about a 3rd series though. Maybe we'll get some kind of announcement of it this/next year. Perhaps we'll see after the second 'holic series since I can't see them being able to continue with TRC in anything other than ova form like this unless they bring back in some of the 'holic aspect. Or they could make an anime only end which is a bit naff.
