I Couldn't Resist

I just finished Ghost Hound, The latest anime by Production I.G from the Ghost in the Shell fame. And to say the least, I'm stunned. The animation is beautiful and the story is just beginning. So many questions need to be answered.

The first episode mainly consisted of the introduction of Komori and a few other scenes consisting of other characters that will probably come into play much later in the series. We find out that the protagonist Komori has narcolepsy. Whenever Komori falls asleep he becomes what seems to be a 'Ghost Hound' But as of now a 'Ghost Hound' could and probably is a metaphor for something very different.
We also learn that a tragic incident happened in Komori's life eleven years ago, Him and his sister appear to have got abducted and only him surviving and his sister never to be found again. From what I can see, The girl Komori goes to when he is in his 'Ghost Hound' form is his sister. Yet he can't do anything about it.


So many questions its impossible to list them all down, Even after one episode of this I can firmly say that this is (as suspected) the best series along with Kaiji from this fall anime season. I can't wait for more.

Kaiji's Fallen Dragonaut Pieces are Reborn!

I finally caught up to the current One Piece episodes the other day, And I had mixed feelings once I got there. Firstly I was happy, I can start some of the new series' and the second was that now I have to wait week after week for episodes. Its unfair, One Piece is too damn hardcore, I need much more.

To get over this, I tried another (fairly) long running series, 50 odd episodes with no sign of stopping, Sounds good, Of course I was talking about Katekyō Hitman REBORN!. I'm currently on the second episode and it is mildly entertaining. My trustworthy source of Wikipedia says that the first 18 episodes is the 'introductions' and then it shall get going by my suspicions.
Anyway, Reborn appears to have just dropped out his mothers womb and climbed his way to one of the Mafia's Higher up in what seems to be a matter of weeks. With several sorts of weird gizmo's, Reborn doesn't disappoint. He is around to train up Tsuna to become the 10th Vongola boss.
This series is first and foremost a comedy series, So I don't expect much in terms of long running continuity and action, At that, I am currently throughly enjoying the series as far.

As for the fall season, I started Dragonaut: Resonance and Kaiji. The latter being much better by far. It having a totally original drawing style, with a genre/storyline that I haven't really seen anything off as far in the otaku world.

Dragonaut does look like any other anime to be totally honest, The characters look a bit horizontal for my likings [Strange Sentence]. But I will keep going with it for a few more episodes to give it a chance to shine. The dragon? seemed pretty cool, and the inner romance story might intrigue me.

Nonsensical Rants = I'm Back!

Okay. . . . . .

I'm going to do this again. (Commitment). I haven't posted on this blog since July 24th, Its October now, That can't be a good thing.

Now, I'll go through a few highlights of some of the anime I've watched:

One Piece- Another JUMP anime to please me, My god. Its awesome. Currently on episode 302 with the Enies lobby arc end in sight. Luffy now has one of them power thing's that most shounen stories have, In this case, Called a Gear. As far I've only seen him click ass with Gear two whilst Gear three as of now shrinks him. Almost up-to-date with the latest episodes. And It DOES look spectacular in High Definition. :D


Code Geass- Was a good show. I thought some of the mecha fights were a tad boring, But it overcomes it with the two parter ending special [24 - 25]. Such a cliffhanger.

LoveCom- I wasn't all to sure whether it was going to pull it off around mid-way through the series, But now it has shot itself right up to one of my favourites. Ōtani and Koizumi are have their ups and downs, But pull through in the end. I can't wait to finish off all the manga.

With Lucky Star- I thought It started to fall down towards the end of the series, But totally re-deemed itself in the last few episodes. Soon as they mentioned Cheer leading, I knew where it was going. YAY. Everything was wrapped up nicely.

I think for now, I'm done (or rather I couldn't be bothered to continue). I shall be back whenever I damn well feel like it.

Expect MOAR or GTFO.

LoveCom, Is It Actually Going Anywhere?

After getting up-to-date of Lovely Complex, i just have this horrible feeling that the anime just isn't going anywhere.

Why aren't they together yet?

Also from what i can find, is there is not a end in sight, i do like the show, but for how long, the girl Risa is just annoying as hell although on the off chance quite entertaining to watch.
The boy, Ōtani, has a absolutely awful life from what i am seeing, he appears to be popular. And yet this girl is chasing him around.
After about 8 episodes, Risa finally confesses her love to him, and of course, Ōtani doesn't understand.
And they go back to normal, as because she said, Just ignore it.

Although things are starting to get a bit better, at episode 15, how much longer can they drag on this so called LoveCom until they finally start dating. *sigh*

Gdbye Despr Tcher Haruhi

AUKN has just made me wanting to get going on my blog, due to the fact that Paul has made a RSS feed featuring every blogger of AUKN.

Clicky Clicky - They should make a good read.


So. . .Here goes nothing. . . . . . .again!.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei one of my current instant favourites. Its about a new teacher of a school trying to constantly kill himself, but not succeeding so many times. With everything this teacher called Nozomu Itoshiki comes across that is utterly horrible and dark Kafuka Fūra is there to show the impossible yet happy side of things.
There is a random face that floats around in the anime, and has yet to be mentioned, he is the school clock face, the censor bar, he is one of the reasons to watch. :D

Also; yesterday i watched Voices of a Distant Star and in my opinion i found almost everything just disgusting. The premise is stupid, it taking 8 years to send a text message though space, What about Service Providers??? The disliked the animation and CG from the get-go, everything was just odd and repelling to me. Still didn't waste too much of my time, it being a 25 minute OVA. xD.

Lastly for tonight i started to watch the second and third episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and i absolultely love everything about it, and altough i kind of guessed Haruhi being a alien or something due to the wizardry pilot first episode. Haruhi starting the club, making it 'popular', getting members, stealing a computer. . .all this for what is at the moment a club of nothingness, of in other words, SOS Brigade.

Lagoon Robots

As you may presume i have been re-watched in its entirety Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage; and the robots are due to some more re-watching of the almighty Neon Genesis Evangelion before i purchase the box set.

Black Lagoon was so. . .much better this time i watched it, i wonder if that will be the case if i re-watched the first barrage. I love watching Revy getting worked up over Japanese people and shouting English abuse at them. I am deffinately getting the DVD's of this, considering on only buying the Second Barrage though. xD. At least Revy got something out of Rock in the very end scene. haha.

Now, the legendary Neon Genesis Evangelion, as deep as a anime can probably be, They is no need for all the life meanings and etc, in the series' but no doubt that is one of the main reasons Evangelion still remains in the souls of so many people to this day, even though it is about a decade old this year. You have still got too love the first 20 episodes so dearly though, the Penguin, the art work, the brilliance, the EVA's. Such a fucking brilliant show!

LoveCom In The Morn

Early this morning/late last night; i was browsing YouTube and i came across Lovely Complex; and i have got to say, to my surprise, i enjoyed it.

The story is to do with a really short boy and a really tall girl, become boyfriend and girlfriend, and of course, due to the height issue, its weird.


In this first episode, they hate each other's guts, but they try to fix each other up people, The boy being tall; and the girl being small. xD. this of course starts off very well, but seems to be somewhat weird of the Tall boy and Small girl, due to that they aren't very used to talking to the opposite sex, and the only reason they can talk to their opposites, Tall girl and small boy; is because due to their height, they see them as the same gender as themselves.

Of course now, the tall boy and the small girl start a relationship; leaving the other two totally out of the picture.

Now! a competition has been put in place for the tall girl and the small boy for the first one to get a boy/girlfriend. . . . . . .

. . .I wonder where this is going. =)
