Zero no Tsukaima 02 ~The Elf of the Forest~This is me when I watched this episode.Predictable. Predictable. Predictable. Now I finally remember why I dropped season 2! If they placed in a little more twist into it before the inevitable, obvious ending, I would at least be compelled to finish the second season and continue watching this. Sadly, it didn’t. I’m sorry, but my quota for masochistic males has already been filled by Tadashi from Special A. I am gonna have to pass on this one.Blade of the Immortal 01 ~Criminal~Ah… the never-ending cycle of revenge: You killed my father so I’ll kill you too… You killed my hubby so I go batshit insane and try to feed you horseshit… You killed my brother so I’ll kill you and your psycho “sister”. You killed my daddy so I’ll kill you next episode…For something that is not in my primary genre of interest, I actually like this show. Of course, I hesitated when I read “samurai” on the synopsis (since the only samurai anime I’ve watched from end to end with unwavering interest was Rurouni Kenshin), but I watched it anyway. I wasn’t expecting much when I picked this up but it turned out pretty good I still cannot believe that this is BEE TRAIN. (The rapist of Tsubasa Chronicles!!!). I have no opinion of the OP and the ED – they’re not my type, but the sequences were awesome. Anyway, I think that I will continue to watch this anime if they set it in the era they set it on – or did it just seem like it was set a really long time ago since the setting was kinda rural.Anyway, the eyecatch they had indicated that there is a possibility for it to move to modern times – Manji is immortal after all – which will bore me since modern day samurai/ninja shows bore the heck out me and can seem awkward and cheesy. Oh well... I'll see... I probably wouldn't be blogging it though.Ryoko’s Case Files 01My first thought watching the OP was “Oh my God! This is like a cheesy detective show!” I mean, if they placed in words to the OP, it would be a jingle like how most 80s detective shows have – complete with silhouettes of the main character’s figure and legs. Anyway, it’s nothing spectacular… Fiesty female detective with long legs and the ability to run in 3-inch heels and her proper male assistant. The story didn’t appeal to me much, even though I love detective mystery shows, but most of them are off the Crime/Suspense channel so they’re more on the technical side of the story. I didn't like the animation that much either. I’m gonna have to pass on this..
