Guilty Crown episode 3

:( My poor laptop. So very sad. Empty and sad.

In the end it had to be brought back from out of the box factory style. All of my Japan pictures were already on discs but AWA 2011 has been lost. Thank goodness I put some pictures on Facebook and in my Walmart cart. Guess this teaches me a lesson to save pictures the second I get home from anything. The laptop is still missing.....basically everything. XD Don't even have word to type this up on. So catching up on anime posts before I go out of town is probably not going to happen. XD

Photobucket

This is the proper way to look at someone.

Still I shall try to do something. I decides that Guilty Crown was getting put off long enough so on I went. Episode 3 was amazing folks. Okay I lies. Spoilers for Shu's classmates all being otaku.



Photobucket

He called me....stupid?! XO The world has ended.

Episode Summary: Right before Inori walks into the classroom the teacher does make an effort to talk to his class about the recent Funeral Parlor mayhem. Most students know more than the teachers though with their access to all the latest internet stuffs. All that is forgotten thought when Inori walks in. Some people recognize her because she is in a band and that helps cover up the fact that Shu freaked when he saw her. The classmates continue to ask her questions and what not but Shu’s friend Yahiro tells them to back off and treat her like a normal human being. Shu knows that Inori is there to recruit him but decides to ignore her and go on with life. One of Shu’s other friends nearly has a meltdown when Shu makes fun of Inori. Shu has to ride home in tears because his friend called him stupid. The fun times keep on rolling when he arrives home and Inori has taken it upon herself to move in along with the crazy robot. Elsewhere Antibodies has decided they need to hire someone extra psycho to stop Funeral Parlor. They walk on over to Code Geass and get a crazy to do the job. After randomly undressing in front of Shu Inori explains that she is there to protect him. Shu is not down for this plan and voices his concerns. Yahiro comes over to watch a video with Shu. Shu tries to hide the fact that Inori is there but she prances out and demands Shu comes with her so they can talk to Gai. I see. Gai is dressed to be the hottest escort in town because sometimes that is what “terrorists” have to do . This is not a recruiting meeting though. Apparently when Shu had his glory moment the other day someone from his school was in “that” part of town scoring some drugs. Since Gai is amazing he knows what the person’s Void looks like. So obviously it will be easy to track down the person and kill them yes?

Photobucket

:( So much emo.

Shu memorizes the rules of Voids which include the person getting….voided forgetting about the encounter which shall help in the mission. Shu plans on voiding everyone in school until he finds out who spied on them. Only things do not go well when his first attempt has him grabbing a girl’s boob instead. Video hits the internet fast and Shu declares his life over. Inori teaches Shu how to look people in the eye without doing so and his Voiding attempts go much smoother. Shu tries asking why Inori has a sword shaped Void when Voids are supposed to represent some sorta…trauma inside a person? In any event her answer is interrupted by boob grabbing girl trying to kill Shu. Yahiro helps to hide Shu and Inori. While doing so he reveals (on accident or on purpose) that he is Code Name Sugar, aka the druggie that saw Shu being all Voidy. Yahiro gets all pissy and defensive on why he takes drugs and Shu voids him to avoid a fight. With the correct Void shown Inori goes in for the kill. Shu begs her not to as Yahiro is a friend. Yahiro promises not to tell anyone about Funeral Parlor and Shu will not talk about the drugs. Only the very next day Code Geass Crazy is outside the train station and Yahiro gives Shu up without a second though. THE END!

HMMMMMMMMM. HMMMM I say.

Photobucket

I wonder what Nancy Grace would have to say about Funeral Parlor.

There wasn't too much in terms of "terrorist" attacks today. Of course that doesn't mean they weren't the talk of the town. On the contrary they were. Gai doesn't have to run around blowing everything up to prove a point. Getting the organization Funeral Parlor on everyone's minds and putting thoughts in their heads that HEY this might not be so bad is also important.

Photobucket

The teacher has so much caring yes?

So it would actually be better for the Antibodies if they didn't give Funeral Parlor the time of day. That of course will not stop the youtube and Facebook pages devoted to Gai's speech. But they could try and minimize how much is broadcasted on TV. You know, so the adults don't find out.

Photobucket

Them being rude is another reason why he does drugs.

Not that anyone in Shu's class really care. Because YAY new transfer student time. In current Japan transfer students are rather exciting as classes tend to stay the same the entire time someone is in high school. But in this post near Apocalypse world I am not sure how WOW this is. I am sure at one point or another people got displaced due to the crazy.

Inori might be there to protect Shu but I am sure Gai wants Shu to eventually get recruited into Funeral Parlor. Inori is going to involve him more than actually protect him. Or at least that probably would have happened had Shu's best friend forever not narced on him.

Photobucket

Inori also doesn't understand windows.

Inori seems to be suffering from "Human Emotions are What?". She doesn't get why Shu is upset or why she seems to be a big deal. Oh I am a member of a famous band? So why does that mean you think I am a big deal? What do you mean it would be bad to kill one of your friends? What do you mean getting undressed in front of you is uncomfortable? She has a major case of the DUHS. I am super all of these CUTE characteristics are supposed me make me say AWW but really I feel bad for Shu.

Photobucket

Well duh. It would be silly if I didn't dude.

The rules of the Void were just randomly thrown at us. Like oh Shu since we are sitting here waiting for a victim let's make sure you remember the rules. So the audience can hear them. I find it interesting that Gai and his people are so well versed in what a Void is. But I guess if they have been spying on Antibodies for so long they have learned all the secrets and what not.

The one rule I am interested in the most is why everyone has to be 17 or younger to have a Void, Once you turn 18 you no longer have insecurities or what not? By then you have already turned in your V-card? Poor innocence of youth.

Photobucket

I like how he didn't even question why Inori wasn't there. Please be more obvious next time writers.

It seems as if Inori knew that Yahiro was the one who saw Shu at the battle. Which means all the random Void pulling was just...for fun. And to show off how boring some Voids can be. Good thing Inori has a useful Void yes?

Photobucket

It is everyone's fault but his! Understand that.

I am not sure why Yahiro was dropping hints on who he was. I mean....if he was out scoring drugs would it not be in his best interests to hide who he was too? To keep up his appearance of being the perfect student (which is everyone else's fault of course) would it not be better to keep on hiding?

Photobucket

So very, very touching.

In the end it seems as if Segai (straight from Code Geass) either tortured Yahiro for the information or promised him tons of drugs. However I enjoy the fact things weren't all peachy in the end. Sorta like how Shu did not automatically join Funeral Parlor. Yahiro didn't magically become less bitter and afraid about being caught and he turned in his friend.

Photobucket

But what about our friendship?!?!!

Was that evil? Yes. But that is more logical than everything working itself out after such an intense showdown of feelings. Not that Yahiro is in the clear. Usually people who turn on their friends are killed by the enemy eventually.

Photobucket

You really shouldn't take a call when you are in the middle of torturing someone. Rude. Now Yahiro has to do more drugs.

So we got Segai the super spy and Gai who can see Voids inside of people. Sounds like some people were affected by this super virus yet the effects were positive. Now that Shu has been captured I suspect the next episode will be devoted to rescuing Shu which will make him join Funeral Parlor yes?

Kimi to Boku episode 4

So my laptop was all broken last night. Depending on whether or not I am unlazy enough to change this opening if things change it might be broken right now. I was left with the actual computer to work with. Something with REAL keys. Like what is this thing coming out of the computer? Mouse? I think not.

Clearly my laptop has spoiled me. It gave me a headache watching anything on it and I decided to distract myself by doing anything else other than blogging. Yay for being more behind?

Photobucket

Let him be sick in peace!

But I did manage to watch Kimi to Boku episode 4. Because headaches are fun YAY! XD Spoilers for weird little kids being weird.


Episode Summary: Chizuru decides to throw a mixer because that is what young people do yes? Only there is one girl in their group......Surprisingly Kaname is the only on who finds a problem with this. There are minor moments of flirting but everything comes to an end when it starts to rain. Kaname decides he hates his life. But during the mixer Kaname is teased about liking older women (aka that nursery school teacher). At school that random teacher that randomly shows up has the nerve to get a drink out of the vending machine when Kaname needs one! Kaname gets all blushy and it is revealed why. Back when he was 5 Kaname had a crush on the nursery school lady. But one day two high school students came to help teach their class. Kaname was jealous of the boy who caught teacher's attention and had a jealous attack all over the place. But after crying the high school boy comforts Kaname (in a man way) and Kaname wants to grow up to be like the student one day. That student is now the high school teacher who remembers nothing.

Photobucket

This is understand. The crush not so much.

Kaname is unable to go to school the next day as his precious body touched rain drops during the mixer. He stays home to rest but after school his "friends" come over and keep him company. Which turns into torturing. Chizuru decides jumping on him is fun, the twins impersonate him, and then his mom comes in to declare her love for Kaname all the while being excited that Chizuru finds her hot. During all this crazy Shun promises Kaname all will be well because they took notes for him in class. A neighbor friend comes by to beat up on Kaname. Her name is Hisako and is the younger sister of nursery school teacher. She seems a little jealous when Kaname accidentally reveals he treasures a picture of her. Shun and Hisako try to keep the peace but things get slightly crazy. Kaname protests too much as he smiles at the antics of his friends. After they leave Hisako says that their visit has brought Kaname's fever down. Kaname almost smiles but realizes the reason the boys came over were to steal his notes, not to visit him. THE END!

Photobucket

I hates kids XD

Okay folks. Enough with the little kid flashbacks.

When I was 5 I probably had a crush too. On another 5 year old. Because that is how reality works. But I don’t remember folks. Mainly because I was 5.

Photobucket

So much creepy.

But in Kimi to Boku Kaname has a perfect memory. He perfectly remembers every day in nursery school. One could claim this is because of his crush but really folks? Really? A 5 year old is going to talk like that? Actually all of the boys minus Shun are way too mature for their age but that is besides the point. The point is…I think it is all creepy. But maybe boys really do like women who are at least 13 years older than them. Maybe they really do think they have a chance.

Photobucket

Why is he a million years old now?!

The only thing I liked about this whole scene was the high school student being the teacher now. And that Kaname remembers and gets embarrassed about wanting to be like him. Home boy teacher is looking pretty old though. Nursery school lady is looking a lot younger when in reality she is older.

I found the mixer at the beginning of the episode to be special. That is all.

Photobucket

Chizuru has a weird idea about friendship...

Okay there is more. But really special sums it up nicely. I want to know why Kaname was the only one to protest to the crazy. Chizuru is trying way too hard to fit in when most of the other guys are barely over their BLAH of him. Yes mixers are fun and I love seeing the world through yaoi colored glasses. Yet this was all weird and made no sense.

Photobucket

One can never assume.

Although I do like that Chizuru has to question if girls are really boys now. That part made me laugh.

The rest of the episode was devoted to Kaname being sick. The rain automatically makes a lot of Japanese people sick. That is why they must rush home in animes and take a warm bath to prevent such measures. Otherwise they will die.

Photobucket

Would NOT be amused.

While Kaname is a stick in the mud I would have been pretty upset if my friends came over while I was sick and dying and that is how they treated me. Jumping on me, going through my personal things, and hitting on my mom. None of those things would make me feel better and I almost felt bad for Kaname.

Photobucket

This is too weird for words.....

His mom is weird. I can understand how moms feel sad when their kids get older but she took it to a whole notha level. Too high for me.

Photobucket

Why don't you love me?!!?!

The childhood friend was boring. But I am sure she loves Kaname and is all pissed off he is in love with her MUCH OLDER sister. I would be barfing too my friend.

Photobucket

If wearing glasses makes you smarter I am going to do some shopping for my co-workers tomorrow.

The twins pretending to be Kaname was probably the most entertaining part of the whole episode. Of course now that people have compared this to Ouran Host Club everything seems less funny.

Photobucket

WEEEE no one likes you!!!!!

Except the ending. Because Kaname was mad they came over to bother him but childhood friend is like but they made you feel better. Kaname ended up having a nice time and it was smiles all around. Until he realized they only came over to steal his notes. Because these are magical friends.

I hope my laptop is fixed soon. Taking screenies on here is no fun. :(

Fate/Zero episode 4: Bring on the fighting!

XO Today has felt like another productive day. I know you can’t tell by looking at my blog but things got DONE. I am not so sure about my doctor’s office as it took me 20 minutes to pay a bill but I got a lot done today. And I didn’t scream at anyone. Can we say success anyone?

Part of the successfulness of the day was securing tickets to the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween event. So one night I will be screaming my head off and the next I will be going WEEE Mickey. Because I said so. It’s my birthday month.

Photobucket

Bring it on hottie!!!

But I should make an effort to catch up on blogging since I will be out of town for TWO WHOLE DAYS! How will I survive without the internet? XD Up now is Fate/Zero episode 4. Spoilers for fighting in a big dress.



Photobucket

Behold I have arrived!!!

Episode Summary: Both Lancer and Saber show regret in not being able to announce their names before battle. Yet they look forward to an honorable battle anyway and set to work trying to figure each other out. Kirei and his skank assistant Maiya are busy trying to set up a way to watch the battle and to see if any other Servants are watching. They quickly spot Assassin who you know…is supposed to be dead. Assassins reports to Kirei (and Tokiomi) what is going on. They magically decide that Irisviel is a homunculus. Because they can. Lancer is ordered by his Master to use his Noble Phantasm to finish Saber off. When Lancer discards one weapon for his longer lance Saber figures she will have the upper hand. During the fight she is injured by his weapon and deducts that it has the power to cut through magic. She casts aside her magic armor so she can fight easier. She envisions how she will defeat Lancer but is thrown off when he takes up his second weapon again (revealing who he is based on the full Noble Phantasm). She is injured by the second weapon which cannot be healed by Irisviel. This is due to Lancer being amazing…and his legendary power. At this point in the battle both of their weapons have been revealed and they know who the other is. Saber can no longer use her arm and is surely going to be taken out in the next blow. Waver and Rider have been watching the battle the whole time. Waver is like WOOHOO if they take each other out I can truly win this battle. But Rider is like NOOOO I want to fight everyone because I am the most awesome person ever!!!!! So he rushes down there in his lovely chariot and announces who he is and that it is time to fight! THE END!

That was a lot of fighting. A LOT. X__X This blog post might be short too.

Not that the fight was boring. Just you can only say much about it right? Not dissing the fighting. This show is about a “war” per say so I can’t really say ew so much fighting!

Photobucket

Sorry dude. Don't know you.

I probably need to brush up on my history. Because I still have no idea who Lancer is. Okay he is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne because I just looked it up. What a nice story indeed. But since I am not a Hero that gains all information since the beginning of time I didn’t know who he was. But now I am all like X__X he died because of a boar? Crazy.

Photobucket

Did Saber wear this dress into battle? Because....people must have been slow back then.

But I see the significance in hiding your name. I guess when you are super famous to people who know history it can be easy to guess your super duper power. We can’t be having that right? Ah yes I see your two magic spears have different powers. Powers that cut against my magical armor.

Photobucket

Ah yes. White hair=fake person. Pink hair=magical girl.

I am pretty much amazed that Kirei and Tokiomi are the smartest person on the face of the planet but do really dumb things. Like…..they manage to guess (correctly my little spoiler people) that Irisviel is not human. Because she has red eyes and white hair folks. I guess half the anime characters are creatures made by magic by their logic. So they are able to guess that perfectly but are stupid enough to send out Assassin. OKAY THEN.

Photobucket

Someone needs more sneaky in their life.

I get it. Assassin does make a better spy than Archer. That is his special skill. But I don’t see why they need to risk anything. Send Lancer out to do recon. Stay hidden in the shadows. Bribe him with some shiny mirrors to do so.

Photobucket

He is the kind of man who destroys the entire house, not just merely hide the bodies in the room.

Of course I am only saying that because Emiya is super badass. Like Matt Damon better watch his back. He is going to take you down sniper style. Maybe Kirei and Tokiomi’s plan would have worked if not for Emiya. But since they know Emiya is in this war they are pretty dumb to try and be halfway sneaky.

Photobucket

I can't be taken out so soon. Pay no attention to my messed up arm.

I think I am happy that there was a lot of honor and stuff going on in the battle. Since these are REAL heroes and all. I am sure things will change when Child Murderer takes the stage. But I think it is a comfort to Saber and Lancer that the code they lived by can still be experienced, even if only briefly while they try to kill each other.

And then there were a lot of fighting scenes. YAY FIGHTING. I like the inner thoughts of the Heroes even if it comes out of place as the battle should be taking place too fast for them to think. XD

Photobucket

Obviously the point was for Rider to have the most fun EVER!!

I know I have been making fun of Waver being a bad Master. Well Rider this week I am looking at you. Saber and Lancer are too….noble to make X___X faces but I am sure that is what they were thinking when Rider just rode in and announced who he was. They spent an entire battle chipping away at each other to gain that information and BAM here he is.

Photobucket

Waver supports this plan fully.

Obviously Rider and Waver are special. Very special. But if Rider had not been special Saber would have been killed and we can’t be having that. Although I do wonder how her nonhealing wound is going to turn out.

Photobucket

I wonder how hard it is to draw a battle scene when one of the weapons is invisible.

There we are folks. Spying and fighting and honor oh my! Maybe next week Saber can hightail it out of there so she can live to fight another day. Also Lancer and his sexy voice needs a break. See ya next time!

Nendoroid Dead Master slashing up the place

WEEEE! It is time for another nendoroid post. Because being 3 episodes behind in blogging anime means I have time to catch up on nendoroid posts. Yay logic.

And cupcakes. There is always time for cupcakes.

Photobucket

I see you dark little nendoroid of doom.

So here is another nendoroid straight from Japan. I am surprised how good the boxes look now despite being stuffed in suitcases. I have seen how airport personal handle luggage. I was very, very worried. But yay for nice looking boxes and fun nendoroids.


Photobucket

Without meaning to I think this nendoroid is perfect for Halloween. XD Her name is Death Master and she is one of the characters from Black Rock Shooter. Despite the lukewarm reception the OVA got (and rightfully so) I still think the characters themselves are super cute. Of course...most characters turned into nendoroids end up looking super cute.


Photobucket

Dead Master is a being in the "other world". She takes advantage of Yomi who is busy having a crybaby attack because her best friend makes another friend. I am not sure why she has to take over Yomi since she does exist separately in the other world. Like I said the OVA was not amazing.


Photobucket

What do you mean the OVA wasn't amazing?! TAKE IT BACK! All of Japan loves me!


Photobucket

Dead Master was not on my MUST HAVE list. But when I found Black Rock Shooter at a reasonable price I sought her out as they are a pair yes? Note to all....Dead Master was not very popular in Japan when I went (May 2011). XD She was out and about in the regular stores. But yay for me right? I love deals.


Photobucket

Trick or Treat.


Photobucket

Dead Master comes with a super fun face that matches Black Rock Shooter. I think this face totally makes the figurine worth buying. We already know you is insane. Show me your cute side.


Photobucket

Dead Master and her friends are going to have a talk with my co-workers. Maybe she can get them to shape up.


Photobucket

What do you mean our costumers are awesome? This is how we normally dress.


Photobucket

Don't underestimate the sneakiness!!!


Photobucket

Dead Master has very pointy figures. Be careful when changing around the position of her weapon. Putting on make-up must be fun for her.


Photobucket

Dead Master with a sword. This doesn't look right does it?


Photobucket

Dead Master wishes everyone a Happy Halloween. XD Some festivities start on Friday so everyone have fun making your last minute preparations. Also beware making new friends. Dead Master might come and get you!
