This 19-year old American singer just started out her career in Japan early this year and she is known for her English songs (duh, she’s American) and singing the songs “Guilty Pleasure” and “Falling Down”, both for Ultraviolet: Code 044. Her [...] Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:14:10 -0000 http://kanzeon.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/becca-im-alive-kuroshitsuji-ed/ Short Synopsis: The final episode: Save Ranka and destroy Grace. Highlights: Pretty, but a bit too keen on creating a perfect ending. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7/10 Ugh, okay, so Alto didn’t die; I should have known. I’ve been too spoiled by series as Ultraviolet and especially Himitsu, where people actually DIE when they’re killed. This episode proved the [...] Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:22:21 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/26/macross-frontier-25/ Every season has its most underrated series for me. For the past summer season, this was without a doubt Ultraviolet: Code 044. It only got one episode subbed, and that episode received masses of bad reviews. Because of all this bad publicity, this series received no chance at all to show its goods, which is [...] Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:42:07 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/16/ultraviolet-code-044-review-85100/ Short Synopsis: Luka tries to rescue King, and more things happen which I’m not going to spoil here. Highlights: So different from what I expected! Overall Enjoyment Value: 8.5/10 Whoa! That was actually a really good ending! This episode was among the best episodes of the entire series, and it exactly knew how to use the things it [...] Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:13:59 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/16/ultraviolet-code-044-12/ Short Synopsis: 044 finally gets the chance to talk with Luka Highlights: They were a bit sudden, but the love-scenes worked really well. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Okay, one episode left! This show has the potential to make for a solid ending. This episode introduced enough subplots for this series to work with to fill one episode. I [...] Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:41:20 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/10/ultraviolet-code-044-11/ Short Synopsis: Luka (or what’s left of him) makes his re-entrance in this series. Highlights: Mostly build-up, but an episode well-spent with lots of eye-candy. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Well.. so this week I decided to not watch the low quality raws from horribleraws (since these also mess with the video-resolution, which just doesn’t do justice to this [...] Sun, 07 Sep 2008 12:46:33 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/09/07/ultraviolet-code-044-10/ Short Synopsis: Zakusa and Daxus’ armies face off against each other. Highlights: An action-packed episode that works. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 Excellent episode. The building-up of the past few episodes really paid off with a very exciting episode. I’m glad that despite the negative reactions, I kept watching this series, because even though it’s nothing deep, complex or [...] Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:28:43 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/08/27/ultraviolet-code-044-09/ Short Synopsis: The scale is upped as 724 reveals an army’s worth of allies. Highlights: Mostly building up… and still no Luka? Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Ooh, it really looks like this series is planning to go all out for its finale. This is the second building-up episode in a row, with just four episodes remaining. In this [...] Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:27:30 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/08/20/ultraviolet-code-044-08/ Short Synopsis: Mainly a building-up episode where Daxus II searches 044’s location and 426’s past gets revealed. Highlights: Garcia. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 Ultraviolet is really one of those “anime as entertainment” series that does a wonderful job fulfilling its purpose. A lot of this is also thanks to Osamu Dezaki’s specific style of directing, and all the [...] Tue, 12 Aug 2008 15:15:34 -0000 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/08/12/ultraviolet-code-044-07/ Summary - 44 and Dr. Garcia escapes to desert planet Ginus 12 - a place that’s constantly being hit with meteors, is full of nearly unbreathable air, and a mining planet for a new source of energy.
