http://www.animenano.com/ An anime blog aggregator and community. en-us A major theme of the past season is fooling the viewer: going into an entirely different direction than what would be normally expected. Mission-E definitely has these themes: its predecessor (Code-E) was a cute little love-triangle set in a high school, so naturally you’d expect something similar for its sequel. As it turns out: I [...] Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:53:08 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/23/mission-e-review-775100/ Short Synopsis: Mission-E ends as Oz rushes in to prevent the foundation to carry out its plans. Highlights: Predictable, plot-holes, but overall better than expected. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 And so it has ended. I wasn’t expecting too much of this episode, because there isn’t much you can do with the underdeveloped villains of this series. There was [...] Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:20:17 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/23/mission-e-12/   Flux Capacitor… fluxxing! Impressions: No matter whatever else happened in this episode, I started cracking up like mad when they ran the Back to the Future credits. Featuring Nancy McFly, played by Michael J Hox. That alone brought me more entertainment than the entirety of the ZnT season finale. Aside from that throw away joke/homage, it was [...] Tue, 23 Sep 2008 06:01:10 -0000 http://blog.seiha.org/2008/09/mission-e-12-one-point-twentyone-gigawatts/ Short Synopsis: The calm before the storm-episode, where Chinami and Kotarou’s engagement gets celebrated Highlights: Hilarious banter. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Ah, now I understand! I finally realize why Mission-E has disappointed so much, thanks to this episode, which probably was among the best of the entire series, along with the first one. The thing is that this [...] Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:57:31 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/17/mission-e-11/   I’m with Maori and Adol. Impressions: It seems to me that between last week and this week’s episode, there was only about 20 minutes worth of anything interesting. Hiiragi (and I only remember his name because of all the shadowy figures going "What’s Hiiragi doing!? at the end) hijacks some television stations with his Gadget [...] Tue, 16 Sep 2008 19:46:21 -0000 http://blog.seiha.org/?p=1435 Short Synopsis: Chinami does what more anime characters should attempt: try to talk things out. Highlights: A bit forced, but it’s good to see this series heating up. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 So what first seemed to be a standard calm-before-the-storm episode turned into the introduction for the finale of this series. While there is some potential, I [...] Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:29:45 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/09/mission-e-10/   What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Impressions: An alright episode I guess, though with two episodes left, I’m kind of at a loss as to where all of this is leading, especially with Maori and Adol apparently in the hospital next episode. Let’s not even talk about how awful that ending scene was [...] Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:17:40 -0000 http://blog.seiha.org/?p=1351 Short Synopsis: A calm-before-the-storm episode, mostly aimed at Maori. Highlights: Maori’s development. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Aah! It’s been too long since I’ve watched Code-E. To think that Maori actually made a small appearance there. It was hardly a moment that stood out: a dog ran into Chinami and she freaked out, but now that this series has [...] Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:32:08 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/02/mission-e-09/ Prelude Impressions: I love how Kotaro shows up in an expensive military helicopter with a new Refley Dress (apparently the name of the power suits), dozens of scientists… and one large box of tangerines. Aside from that, and the almost hypnotic way that Chinami’s butt undulates at the mention of Kotaro, not the most [...] Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:17:42 -0000 http://blog.seiha.org/?p=1297 Short Synopsis: Chiyoko Soraizumi and Nietzsche Kafka may have eloped together, but Chinami isn’t planning to end things that way. Highlights: Great opportunity to see some different sides of Chiyoko and Nietzsche. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Oh boy, it’s hard to believe that we’re still talking about the tough Maori and Adol (or as they introduce themselves in [...] Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:52:40 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/08/26/mission-e-08/
