Nunnally is alive… Yeah, no surprise there…I was more surprised at seeing this.

In this episode 22, we get to see how the final developments of Code Geass R2 will play out. As you might have noticed, I thought the developments in question were very much south of elegantly presented. The horror! How did we manage to start talking about conflict of classes and diplomatic relationships, only to be [...]

Day 11 So, if it is one thing I am starting to get angry about here is the fact I cannot read anything. I kind of just miss seeing English everywhere and being able to comprehend things and other people. Being alone in America is one thing because the chance is always there to talk [...]

Thank you to one of my readers for pointing me in the direction of this chapter. So Amu & co. decide to save Ikuto but…they don’t really know where to go. Yoru can’t help because the hypnotizing fork thing scrambles his brains and he doesn’t know where Ikuto is either. With no hints they [...]

And across the world, there was a great thump as the world of otaku collectively facepalmed. Well, if last week was a drop into the silly bucket, this week was a rainstorm. At least last week I laughed through most of it. Unfortunately, I spent most of this episode rolling my eyes or finding [...]

Surprised! I’m so surprised! So Lelouch is trying to make the world a better place by abolishing peerage, liberating the numbers, and making his two delicious sisters maids! Good moves! Especially the last one, but too bad we didn’t get to see the maids in action. These two have to be maids with the most fashionable hair [...]

Implied secks ftw A relatively boring episode compared to the previous two weeks, not much was learned in terms of character and plot that we didn’t already know or that we couldn’t have inferred from recent events. The SMS’s rebellion was the only significant event of the episode, along with alliance pledging, Alto and Luca deciding [...]

君に届け SHIINA Karuho. 2006, Margaret Comics. Published in Betsuma Magazine. Summary Last volume left us with Sawako’s friends, Yoshida and Yano, hearing bad rumors about themselves that were supposedly spread by Sawako. This volume’s beginning has them laughing this off, knowing that their friend is way too timid to do something like that. They begin [...]

Even lions lick… something, I dunno So… hot on the heels of my survey to see what I should do with the domain yakkdeculture.com, I decided that rather than making it one thing, I’d turn it into a repository of all things Frontier (and probably Macross in general) that I or anyone else thinks of randomly.

What happened to this great show? Lelouch is just another anti-villain. He supposedly has these great ideals but all he is doing is gaining power for himself. Last season he was a rebel fighting for good, and now he is a jackass making people his slaves. He even takes a room of people and uses [...]

Strike Witches collides with Touhou in this interesting image of Hakurei Reimu, which insightfully combines the two great charms of each series, pantsu and miko waki. By 9LAW.

I always thought Ayumi was blond…>_> This is a manga by Kawashita Mizuki of Ichigo 100% {Strawberry 100%} fame…[and the reason I was attracted to it]. That alone tells you that the girls are beautifully drawn and the guys are below normal {with a few bishounens of course}. And of course, her story is going to [...]

My spiral into the insanity continues as figurines have sneaked into my house. Konata on the top of the hexagonal container means nothing, apparently. I think that the product line is made by Good Smile to make school pupils to exchange figurines. Not that I have anything of Miyuki at all.

This feels a bit mellow after last week but still amusing nonetheless. The surprises are slowly diminishing in value though. Nunnally still alive isn't that surprising because it's expected that the series will dish it out before the finale. This is a general problem with series that uses too many surprises in the story. After a while, the viewers become accustomed to them and the surprises become less and less surprising. The problem is actually more prevalent in US TV series rather than anime because most anime series have limited amount of episodes so the writers usually don't have to rely on surprises to keep the audience's interest. Geass is the exception to this. Anyway, with only a few more episodes left, I hope we'll get some kind of nice epilogue to neatly close the series. It'll be annoying if the series end right away after the major battle. The series has more than enough character to fill an entire episode with epilogue of how their life have changed after the battle.

The bone crunching sound here is great for the kids. TV-Nihon released the first four episodes of Kamen Rider Ryuki, and me being me I had to check them out, even if there is no guarantee this isn’t just a fluke and there are no more episodes on the way. Now, I’ve seen the first episodes [...]
