A review and a magical rant for you, child of man. I think Battler is a cool guy, eh makes Moetriche calls him ´Master´, kills his family and doesn´t afraid of anything. Actually, the truth is that.. Continue reading →

There never seems to be any Ritsu-ccentric episodes at all, save for the one where she goes around trying out the other instruments. I mean, she’s the ‘leader’ after all, perhaps they could have actually made another episode regarding her, instead of focusing purely on the 3 Favourites? That said, I still don’t mind Azusa [...]

I spent most of July either on holiday or in hospital (the two were sadly related), so I'm a little behind on the news from Anime Expo onwards. And there's been a lot of it. So, in the spirit of "better late than never", here's a quick round-up of who's licensed what in the past month. Bandai Entertainment: K-On!, Tales of the Abyss, Turn A Gundam, My-Otome 0~S.ifr~, Sora Kake Girl Sentai Filmworks: Highschool of the Dead RightStuf / Nozomi Entertainment: So-ra-no-wo-to, Revolutionary Girl Utena (TV and movie) FUNimation: Trigun movie, Girls Bravo, Hetalia World Series, Strike Witches 2, Evangelion 2.0, Summer Wars Aniplex America: Durarara!!, Read or Die (OVA and TV) Crunchyroll: Occult Academy, Tono to Issho, Strike Witches 2, Asobi ni Ikuyo, Mitsudomoe Viz Media: Nura: Rise of Yokai Clan Manga Entertainment: Redline Section23: Canaan, Kimikiss Discotek: Galaxy Express 999 (2 movies), Project A-Ko Meanwhile, in the UK... Manga UK: Mnemosyne Beez: The Big O That's a lot of licenses, with many of them also heading to the various streaming services that are now available, and at a glance you might be tempted to think that the anime market's beginning to look up again. Here's hoping - and here's hoping that a decent number of those US licenses make their way over here.

This year the industry news out of Otakon was a bit light but that is hardly shocking considering it came right after both Anime Expo and San Diego Comic Con in tough economic times. The leftovers are mostly saved for Otakon. There were several announcements of which dub actors were being used it upcoming high [...]

Every summer, close to 30,000 otaku gather in Baltimore’s inner harbor area to attend the largest anime convention on the US east coast: Otakon. This year’s “Convention of Otaku Generation” took place from July 30 to August 1. In what turned out to be one of my favorite Otakons thus far, this year’s exhibition sported

I'm sure it happens to all of us - we watch an anime, and it completely bowls us over in it's awesomeness. The show changes our perspective on how great anime can be and effects us on emotional and personal levels we may not have thought possible, etc. After watching a show like this, we might have to totally redo our favorites list just because this show rocked so hard, we have to wonder if the rest of our favorites deserve to compare, even if we can't figure out if we can really put something above the shows that we've been obsessing over for years.

Episode 5: Beacon Butler All thanks to the fast but quality subs of Commie, I am able to see a subbed version of Kuroshitsuji, thus eliminating the need for me to post a preview post.WHY DOES FRIDAY HAVE TO BE THIS FAR FROM TODAY? It's still Wednesday in my time and I have two more days to see the most exciting and most awaited showdown between Sebastian and Claude. But similar to episodes 1-4, episode 5 also has a fair share of its revelation that contributes greatly to the story line. 1. The beginning of this episode shows Sebastian telling everyone that Ciel knows about Ciel's memory loss. He has asked for the cooperation of everybody to keep an act and not let Ciel know that something is not right with this memory. Sebby went to Soma, Agni, Finny, Meirin, Bard and even Tanaka-san, whose diary was also returned. Though the most puzzling question remains WHY DOES CIEL SUFFER FROM MEMORY LOSS? But this revelation confirms to me that Sebastian hasn't consume Ciel's soul and thus, the contract is still on. So that also follow that Ciel's revenge is not yet complete. 2. While Soma is inside the carriage, talking to Agni regarding what happened to Ciel, he happen to mention this line: Even if we're cast into the depths of despair, even if there's a spider's thread leading up out, we'll grab it and not give up.  I wonder if this line drops a hint regarding the plot of the episode. Just a thought :) 3. Ciel also noticed the similarity and the impact of what happened in the last 3 years for the Trancy and Phantomhive. We all know that Ciel lost his family three years ago and as for the Trancy, the previous Earl died three years ago and Alois just arrived before the previous Earl had died with a mysterious butler by his side. Alois was kidnapped and went missing for a long time. Sounds familiar? Well, Ciel and Sebastian think so too~ Sebastian: It's a story I heard somewhere.Ciel: It's a familiar story.4. Upon arrival to the Trancy mansion happens the first Claude and Sebby encounter. Sebby is about to knock but the door was immediately by Claude. Really, those two. Even a simple knocking on the door is something to compete about. But that makes them both lovable. HAHA. 5. Then comes Claude and Sebby encounter number 2: As they are about to enter the mansion, Sebby stops to see a spider by the door: Claude: Ah. The spider is on the Trancy family crest, so we do not practice the killing of spiders. Sebastian: I see. If you forcefully brushed them away, they'd be entangled with the brush and stick to it. Well Sebastian line kinda gives a hint of what is about happen: Trancy opening it's house to Ciel as a strategy to draw him in. Sebastian already know as much. 6. Ciel gets really dizzy when inside the mansion. The first time he entered, he clang into Sebastian and immediately brushed off this act after being asked what's wrong. Oh Ciel, you really do not want to show any signs of weakness especially when in front of Sebastian. 7. Ciel once again looked for Madam Red and that somehow bothered Lizzy and made Lau open his eyes. 8. Soma totally broke down when he saw Ciel after a long time. He hugged him and as expected, Ciel has no idea who he is. Good thing, Agni was there to control Soma's tantrums and at the same time, also implicitly tell Ciel about Soma and Ciel's true relationship. Agni: You must not, my Prince!Soma: No! Ciel! Ciel!Ciel: Who is this man?Sebby and Agni: *the looks*Agni: Forgive the late introduction. This man is the 26th child of the Nawab of the Bengal province, Prince Soma Asman Kadar. Ciel: Why is this prince looking at me and crying?Soma: Ciel! Even though...even though we met at last! Agni: He is deeply moved upon meeting the founder of the Phantom company. Phantom Company's toys are very rare in our country -Soma: The memories we have together won't ever disappear!Agni: Those toys are objects of precious memories between the Prince and his friend. Soma: No matter what happens, the friendship you and I share will -Agni: That person was a very important friend to the Prince! That person...that person...This is heartrending! My prince! *hugs Soma*Soma: Agni! Agni!  9. Ciel gives his marching orders to Sebastian to investigate the house thoroughly.  10. I am having the impression that Alois has an intricate taste for clothings. He threw everything that Hannah prepared for him and even went to as far as throwing a crown that caused Hannah's eye to bleed.  11. As Claude enters the room, Alois said that he also wants Claude to wear a costume too. He gets pink dress and performs a Spanish dance. But Claude gave him an evil look then suddenly, Alois stopped and became serious. This is when she asked Hannah to strip and give her dress to him.  It really bothers me why it was that way. Claude just gives him the stare and then suddenly, Alois know to stop. But for Ciel and Sebastian, their relationship is a bit different. Sebastian is more like, looking forward to how Ciel will react or take an action.  Another thing, why is Hannah allowing such treatment by Alois? I bet there's a very strong reason because no person with a straight mind will allow such actions. I getting more and more interested to know more about Hannah. With no ifs and buts, Hannah stripped in front of two guys and I am feeling embarrassed for her.  12. The party is already starting while Sebby is busy investigating. Thus, Claude and Sebby encounter number 3: Sebastian: This is a wonderful room. Bed making, cleaning, even the interior of the desk is perfect. I feel your diligent effort and the attention paid towards the occupants. It has been a splendid learning experience. Claude. That is satisfying. Your ability to imitate a sneaking thief in your passion to carry out your task also impresses me. Sebastian: You flatter me.Sebastian: *walks towards the door*Sebastian: I won't hand over my young master to you. I am merely my young master's one 'hell' of a butler. Claude: The orders of my master are absolute. One 'hell' of a butler...I am one as well.  Sebastian, learning from Claude? Well, that was humble of him. Claude also praised him for being sneaky and Sebastian said his thanks. Those two are really something. Since they can't fight through actions, they fight through words. If only words could kill. HAHAHA. 13. I thought the triplets are comical but what do you know, they are REALLY GREAT :) 14. Alois' strategy in getting close to Ciel is to pretend that he is a female servant. She purposely stained Ciel's clothes so that he can get him all alone. Alois even wore a wig and Ciel blushed upon a sight of him. HAHAHA. Alois is THAT cute in Hannah's costume. 15. Inside the room, Alois wiped the stain but didn't removed it. Alois has a habit of licking things. In this scene is the first time that he licked on something/someone! Alois: A beautiful blue...When we die, do our souls become this color?Ciel: What?Alois: *Looking at Ciel's eyes* Alois: It's the same color. *Holds Ciel's cheeks*Alois: It's the same color as your ring. Ciel: What are you saying? Alois: If I become one with you, would I become the same blue? Alois: *licks Ciel's ear and removes his eye patch*Alois: That eye is impure.  16. Ciel chases Alois who ran and again gets dizzy. He gets into the wine cellar shown episode 1 and sees Sebastian in episode 1. He also hears the conversation that happened in the first episode. Ciel continues to run around, while hearing the events that transpired in episode 1 until he gets outside the woods. 17. All along, Ciel knew that it is Alois in disguise and he intentionally made himself alone, thinking that Alois will make his move. Then, Claude enters as well as the triplets. Ciel: I thought if I were alone, you'd make a move. Alois: So you followed me on purpose? But...*Claude and the triplets enters*Ciel: I'll be upset if you belittle me. Sebastian: It's as the Young Master says. Even though I warned you a little while ago, Claude. 18. So Ciel asks the most important question of all, WHAT DOES ALOIS TRANCY NEED WITH CIEL PHANTOMHIVE? Alois' answer? "Kimi ga hoshi" or in English, "I want you" . That's what Alois wants. He wants Ciel. Why he needs him is still another mystery. 19. Alois even threatened Ciel that if he refused to give himself in, he will kill everyone in the party. Including the people he cares about. And Ciel, answered a very strong "Do as you like" which made Sebastian gave his proud smile to his bocchan. Ciel doesn't care because he has something to ask for Alois.  20. Alois claims that Claude is better. HAHAHAHA (Sorry Alois, at this point, I am giving my full support to Sebastsian already~~~HAHAHA) and once again shows her tongue with the mark of his contract with Claude.  21. Upon seeing this, Ciel reminds Sebastian about their contract, to which Sebastian replies that he has been his loyal servant until the very day that their contract expires. Ciel: You understand, Sebastian. This is the contract between us: you will be my strength, you will protect me, and you won't kill me until I accomplish my goal. Sebastian: Of course...Since that day, I have been your loyal servant. If you will it, I can grant anything you desire until the day the contract ends and I take your soul. Ciel: Nice answer.  22. This is a bit confusing part. Confusing in the sense that I don't know what language did Alois use. But anyway, he muttered these lines:O hei wo tararuna rondo tareru. Claude! Obtain Ciel. And then Ciel gives his orders...This is an order.Sebastian, protect me, no matter what! Without fail! 23. And with this, the butlers replied:Claude: Yes, your Highness.Sebastian: Yes, my Lord.I just noticed this, but Claude doesn't smile as much as Sebastian right? I guess the demon butlers have their own personalities as well. I wonder if there's a personality criteria before a demon can be chosen as a butler. Take your bet. Will it be his highness or the lord will win? As for me, I am on Team Sebby ♥

Junichi spends time with Kaoru, causing her to realize feelings she may have for him. Impressions: Well, the first episode of the Kaoru episode went pretty good. So far there aren’t any huge surprises though. As I said before I pegged Kaoru as a kind of classic tsundere character, not admitting she likes the guy, and hiding [...]

Since I have little time and you guys probably busy playing Star Craft 2. I get straight to the point what I think about Figma Fate Extra Saber. Let start with good points: -nice paint job -accurate sculpt -super long sword -nice expression -sexy outfit -sexiest butt ever!! You could easily judge and view it from here and the bad points are: -limited movement -hardly stand without stand base -sword look too plastic -too expensive...especially when the game is Japanese RPG. I hardly understand to play RPG in Japanese -very sad part is her boob cleavage. Some white plastic from her clothes fill up her cleavage which suppose to be a small hole between her boobs. See? That stuff irritates me as her beautiful cleavage was stuck. This is the official pic.
