Welcome and say hello to one of the best anime of 2008, and along with Haibane Renmei and Hi no Tori, my favourite anime of only 12 or 13 episodes long. Kaiba is the product of director Masaaki Yuasa, who was the one behind Kemonozume, Cat Soup and Mind Game and it shows the result [...]

Short Synopsis: Neiro tries to tell Kaiba his secret as Kaiba and Warp go out of control. Highlights: Not all questions answered, but this series somehow gets away with it… Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 And so it’s unfortunately over. It was to be expected that not every question would be answered (like, what’s up with the planet that [...]

It’s back to the surreal with Masaaki Yuasa (Kaiba, Kemonozume, Mind Game)’s addition to Genius Party. He probably wrote this before he started working on Kaiba, and it’s very apparent that he wrote this in a stage where his distinctive sense of style was maturing. Happy Machine can be very well seen as “Kaiba’s testing [...]

With the various Dadas under his control, Popo starts to put his final plan to take over the planet in motion - by getting Neiro to kill Kaiba and vice versa. Having brainwashed Neiro (and Cheki, after she tries to convince Neiro not to go through with it), the two ex-lovers confront each other [...]

And with this post, I officially have caught up to the wonderful releases by two certain great fansub groups who have combined to do the series. Huge thanks to them. This episode, we take a look at the true history behind Kaiba and Neiro, and the role of Kichi, the supposed degenerate merchant, in all of this.Kichi, Hyo-Hyo and the currently comatose Warp.Kaiba 09 - Shoot Warp!Episode SummaryThe episode starts off with the fake Warp being questioned by what I believe to be the supercomputer helping to monitor the "kingdom". Having left something on the fake Warp, Popo manages to contact him and fool him into thinking that one of Warp's copies was the one who contacted him, thus leading him to his eventual termination later.Cheki, Popo's and Neiro's friend since young, also questions why Neiro suddenly changed, attributing it correctly to alteration of her memories. However she is foiled by the woman who likes Popo, and later has her memories of Popo and Neiro erased and only ones of admiration for Popo downloaded into her. Neiro somehow regains part of her altered memory through their conversation and later in her room, but with Cheki denying things, she is unable to gain a control of her memories before Popo appears and says a code word to set off her hatred for Warp.It would appear from her memories that Warp had caused much tyranny and Neiro's parents were direct victims of such tyranny, and that because of this, Dada gave her a new life after she was killed by Warp, in order to fight him and rid the world of a tyrant for the common good.The capture of Kichi and his comments before his capture reveal that Warp is indeed someone really amazing in this world. No drive in the universe could store such a tremendous amount of memories, lending credence to the statement at the end of episode 5 that Warp is the controller of memories and perhaps the protector of them.Warp is brought back in his original body by Popo, though most of the work was supposedly done by Kichi (whose sister, the woman who loves Popo, sold him out). However Warp has, by this time, regained all his memories and likely knew Popo was not true to his words. His question about what happened when Popo met him in episode 1 proved it.Neiro arrives in a machine known as the Carbile, with her hatred for Warp evident in her eyes. She fires off huge devastating beams but keeps missing. Hyo-Hyo and Kichi break free, and the former tries to rescue Warp the entire time while Kichi tries to stop Neiro from her madness.When down at what could only be called the suburbs, Kichi's revelation that her memories had been altered by him, and how Warp came to love Neiro and stop his tyranny, manages to keep Neiro from completely destroying the current Warp. Popo tries to stop it, but Warp shows off his power at this point. Indeed, from the scenes in this particular part, Warp certainly seems like the controller of memories.Neiro fires one last shot on Popo's instigation and perhaps the hatred instilled in her, but she is unable to stop crying after that. Popo leaves them to their own devices and exits the scene while Neiro moves down to Warp. Kichi keeps referring to Warp as Kaiba at this point, and mentions that Hyo-Hyo is indeed Neiro, and has her true memories, unaltered.The body Hyo-Hyo is in was also shown near the start when Popo's underlings try to catch Kichi, but this time, instead of one missing, there are two. I wonder if this could be a prelude to something later on.Kichi's sister in the foreground with two underlings.IssuesWhether or not this is a coincidence, episode 9 of Bartender also touched upon the same issue that this episode tried to put across, for perhaps at least half the episode - that of memories defining whether a person is alive at all. As Cheki put it, memories are living people, lives that should not be destroyed. In Bartender, Minegishi Ryuuichi also informs the Kami no Glass (Glass of the Gods, bartender Sasakura Ryu) that memories are proof that a person has lived, and was alive.This has implications for everyone in general. Indeed, how do you define someone as being alive when you have lived? In the world of Kaiba, memories are now alterable, in terms of chips, yet for those who have not converted, they are still living, albeit in the form of memory roes. Memories without a body, who keep on going, even if they are not truly alive, they are to be considered, as Cheki mentions, to be lives in themselves. Even the copies of Warp were indeed pained at how Popo kept destroying their old brothers' memories, shouting that Popo had no regard for memories. Indeed, what would you think, in such a situation? I certainly am with Minegishi, Warp's copies and Cheki on this one - that memories are to be treasured, proof that a person has lived.Hatred-filled Neiro on the Carbile.My ImpressionsOther than the issue on memories, we have finally gotten the back story to Kaiba and Neiro's past, along with confirmation that Hyo-Hyo is indeed Neiro. We also now know part of the plan of Popo, and shown the power of Kaiba. Indeed, the fact that Kichi keeps referring to the current Warp as Kaiba is of deep note as mentioned. I can only wonder, what we will be shown here from now on for the remaining 4 episodes.

Wow, how late I am. It is already in the middle of summer. Then again, we all know not all singles get released that fast, some of them get released after their OP or ED singles have even finished their screentime. So yeah. The main reason I am so slow, other than doing other things for my blog, is because I was waiting for Kyouran Kazoku Nikki's EDs, there were a total of 8, if you recall. Well, anyway, here are my impressions of the music of the spring season.Take note that this post represents entirely my own views regarding the singles mentioned. Everyone's view is different and subjective; we only like music we are familiar with. Therefore you can agree or disagree with me; neither option is right or wrong. This just is a presentation of yet another opinion to you, the reader, and in this case it happens to be my view that is being presented.The anime are not really listed in any order, and certain anime series, I only liked either the OP or the ED, so you will only see my thoughts for just the single I liked alone.Wil and Allison.Allison to LilliaOP: Tameiki no Hashi by Kuricorder Quartet & Yukawa ShioneED: Sayonara no Omajinai by Kuricorder Quartet & Matsumoto Sou (GOING UNDERGROUND)The OP was fantastic instrumental material, with a great voice to boot. It might sound strange at first, the OP, but really, it turned out very nice from the TV sized version of the song. I really like Yukawa Shione's way of singing the song, combined with Kuricorder Quartet's good instrumental playing. The ED was a little "meh", I guess the music was not really my type and Matsumoto did not help either. The instrumental tracks by Kuricorder Quartet available in both singles were great light stuff. Definitely something instrumental lovers should pick up, for both singles.Image thanks to Neko Magic.BlassreiterOP: Detarame na Zanzou by GRANRODEOED: sad rain by Misato AkiI was really looking forward to the ED, and I was not disappointed. Seriously, of all the ED so far, sad rain has got to be among the best. Misato Aki has a voice suited for such songs I feel, and her other song in the single, another life, was also good. Detarame na Zanzou is more for a select group of people, it does seem suiting for people who love racing. But GRANRODEO's other track in the single, Shake the Fake, was slightly better than the actual OP itself, where the genre was concerned.I highly recommend sad rain, seriously.Chiko.Niijuu Mensou no MusumeOP: Kasumi by 369 MirokuED: Unnamed world by Hirano AyaThankfully, I am not an Aya fanboy. Her ED this time round was ok, average, to me, since I hardly like songs like these that are too loud. But yeah, it was...ok. The OP however, was so fantastic, I and Gubinodo actually did a translation for it (linked above). Seriously, 369 Miroku had a very clear voice for the song, and the song was very well done. Definitely among the best OP this season and perhaps for the rest of the year and highly recommended.Hot and sexy Viletta Nu from Code Geass R2, thanks to some kind anonymous at 4Chan /w/ I believe. Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2OP: O2 by ORANGE RANGEED: Shiawase Neiro by ORANGE RANGEI know R2 has already gone into its second OP and ED, but they will be for summer anime instead. O2 was kind of disappointing, it somehow did not live up to the hype of the TV sized version, which actually sounded better. It must have been because of the fake rap they tried to do in the middle. Shiawase Neiro is not too bad, but yeah, it also had a small bit of rap. Overall though the OP single was fine, while because the ED single was so large, I have not actually gone through it, so I cannot comment on the other songs available.Thanks to Super Gaijin for the image.BleachED: Orange by Lil'BIs it ska? I have no idea, since Tsumasaki by Oure Ska Band was definitely ska (even has "ska" in the band name), and so was Tower of Druaga's OP. But meh, Orange is not too bad indeed, though the other two songs inside the single were better. Lil'B, as the name suggests, also has rap in both songs, while the last song is a Kira Kira House Mix (club remix) that is awesome if you like club mixes or club music. Definitely a worthy get for this single.Sara.Crystal BlazeOP: Never looking back ~Sukitooru Kokoro de~ by RieED1: que sera-sera by TASOED2: Kokoroyo Kaze ni Nare by TASOSo a certain someone had a bad review of this particular single, just because it was jazz and "way to go to turn off viewers in the first 2 minutes or so". WTF? This must be news to her then - there are people who like soft songs once in a while, or jazz pieces. Certainly, Crystal Blaze's OP and ED are pretty good in the genre, especially ED2. If you are interested in the soft jazz pieces, this single (yes all of them are in one album) is a good pick to listen to. Japanese jazz for a change is good.The symbol that has yet to explain itself in Kaiba.KaibaOP: Never by SeiraED: Carry Me Away by SeiraI believe I talked about it before, but Never has got to be the best OP this season. Kasumi comes close, but not as close as one would think. They did a good job choosing English songs for both the OP and ED for this show, and Seira sang at least the OP pretty well. As both the OP and ED are not to be released in any singles, I cannot comment on the ED as I have not heard the full version, but the OP is available in certain places for your listening pleasure. And Never, is really good. It is likely these two songs will be released with the OST in the DVD edition of Kaiba, and I also highly recommend Kaiba's OST, really really good.Gekka's true human form.Kyouran Kazoku NikkiED4: Appare Henka Ja. by Satou Rina (Midarezaki Gekka)ED5: Sekai de Ichiban Yabai Koi by Tomatsu Haruka (Midarezaki Chika)ED6: Wagahai wa Shugojuu de Aru, ka? by Yasumoto Hiroki & Inoue Marina (Midarezaki Tekka & lover)Best ED of all the 8 - Gekka's. Hands down. Something about the background music in Chika's ED bugs me, but it is still pretty much good. Yasumoto Hiroki combines his deep voice with Inoue Marina to form a pretty nice song. However what really interested me as well were the club mixes available in each. Chika's could not make the cut, but Gekka's was just awesome, despite its very irritating start. I am glad I stuck throughout the whole song though, the Polyphonic remix is really catchy. Teika's remix is more of the gaming electronic type, which strikes chords with me since it reminds me of the old Sega Genesis days. At the very least, get Gekka's single, you will not be disappointed.Blair.Soul EaterOP: resonance by T.M. RevolutionYeah the PV is totally gay, but the song is fine. At first I thought something was weird with it, but it is something that catches onto you. I suppose you can classify this under J-rock, and for its type, TMR delivers yet again...despite his gayness. Seriously, WTF was with the PV? DO NOT WANTThe other song in the single was also fine. If you like J-rock, get this single.Fatina, image thanks to Danbooru.The Tower of Druaga ~The Aegis of Uruk~OP: SWINGING by MuramasaED: Touchoushatachi by KENNConsidering SWINGING is ska, Muramasa did an ok job. Not something to be "wow" over, this single was pretty much average...especially since there was an Engrish English song inside. KENN's was slightly worse off, and quite frankly, both were just average singles and nothing much to talk about. Get them if you want, no loss if you do not want to.And that completes my roundup for spring anime's OP/ED that I liked. I hope some of my recommendations will get out to the audience here, because really, some of them are just too good.

It's hard to judge, since totals for earlier seasons of the same shows may be bumping up their numbers, but it looks as if Strike Witches and Slayers Revolution are the runaway most popular new shows on 2channel. Zero no Tsukaima may be up there, too.Strike Witches has over 44,000 posts. I suspect some but not too many of these were for the original short OVA. The nearest after it is Slayers Revolution at 26,000, and some of its posts may have been for the original series, too.The same goes for Zero no Tsukaima, at 174,000 posts. It had two recent popular seasons, so it's just about impossible to tell how many posts it has this time, since old threads are deleted from the public servers. Hidamari x365 has 81 threads, but many of those are also probably for the original season.Of shows we can be fairly certain of, Sekirei has over 7000 posts; Telepathy Shoujo Ran and Tetsuwan Birdy Decode have over 6000; and Koihime and Someday's Dreamers~Summer Skies~ have over 5000.Looking back at last season, it looks as if Code Geass R2 and Macross Frontier are the most interesting to 2channelers. Of the 817 threads (i.e., over 816,000 posts) for Code Geass, there are records indicating that almost 400 are for the current season. Macross Frontier has 274 threads. Of other spring shows, Zettai Karen Children is running first, at 34 threads, with Blassreiter surprisingly close behind, at 31. ToLoveRu has 25.Of course, these numbers are for otaku-centric 2channel. Actual TV ratings tell a far different story. According to Siegel_Clyne's posts on AnimeSuki, the top new show there is Antique Bakery, followed by Telepathy Shoujo Ran, which airs on Saturday mornings. For the spring season, Net Ghost Pipopa and Zettai Karen Children are the most watched.Despite the fact that I am a big fan of Hirano Aya, I don't have much use either for Zettai Karen as a show or for her performance in it. Just shows how wrong I can be, lol.Anyway, here is the raw 2channel data. Maybe you can tease more info out of it. The numbers are the number of the current thread for each show.
