New Anime Series? Maoyuu Maou Yuusha episode 1

How is it two weeks ago it was Christmas and a week ago it was New Year's Day? It seems like the holidays were so long ago. Well not if you look in my house. Currently trying to take down all the trees and other decorations. XD But still where did the holidays go? WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTMAS?!

Of course of course!

It seems like animes are slowly being released. Everyone is probably getting back into the swing of things with the holidays being over and school/work starting over again. I waited to find a better version of this show but alas it has been several days. So here it is anyway. Up now is Maoyuu Maou Yuusha episode 1. A new anime series! Spoilers for it....being just like the synopsis.

Just write about me being an amazing hero!

I....don't even know how to blog this. Do I bother writing a summary? Because the summary would basically be the entire post. So very, very little happened people. Let me see if I can actually make a normal summary, one that tells you the basic details and not the entire plot THEN I explain the plot more.

A terrible war indeed!

Episode Summary: A war between humans and demons has been going on for many years. A hero separates from his group of merry men to take on the Demon King himself. Only the Hero arrives and the Demon King turns out to be a girl with huge breasts. Ms. Demon King is so happy to see Hero and is quick to explain to him that without this war both humans and demons would suffer. Over dinner Ms. Demon King shows/explains to Hero with her magical lantern that the leaders on both sides of this war benefit in many different ways and without the war a lot more lives would be loss. But Ms. Demon King suggests that Hero becomes hers and she become his and together they can come up with a way to end this war without either party actually winning or enslaving the other race. Hero has been very UM NO throughout this entire conversation but decides that he will go along with it. Ms. Demon King is so happy that they might see a whole new world with this promise. THE END!

I wonder how much that retails for....XD

It clearly is not in me to just type a 5 sentence review. It is beyond me to be concise and brief. Just let it be known that I am like this in real life. What happened with that customer Christina? Oh let me tell you in great detail and maybe in 10 minutes I will be done talking. Oh you wanted to know in two sentences what happened? Do I look like a boy to you? Sorry.

What? Fanservice? Perish the thought!

I was warned that this show was going to have special elements in it. And I think that I have made my points pretty clear on fanservice and overly huge boobs. I can see why there are less female anime fans in Japan. I mean...barbies were rejected and had to be changed to fit the actual body type of females in Japan. Aren't boobs interesting enough without making them unrealistic bouncy AND huge? You can't have it both ways. Bounce bounce bounce. That is how I would describe Ms. Demon King.

Never mind, the world is doomed!

And really what kind of hero is this Hero? Yes it turns out the human kings sent Hero to deal with this mess as they want the war to keep on going but really. Really. He made it this far. Why does Hero have to be stopped in his tracks because he saw some bounce? I can understand being a little shocked but blushing? Staring? This is war kid. Time to hack up your enemy. Even if your enemy has a huge rack.

Are we in the past or future?

It appears to me that Ms. Demon King is from a different time. I know she has a magical lantern of unexplainedness but she was just talking about things that were not from this time frame. Well maybe this time is in the future and Ms. Demon King is talking about the before times. I would like to think she is from the future though since she had knowledge of the Hero. I mean maybe she has been through 839473 timelines or maybe she would have loved anyone who walked through the door but....yeah. Not sure what is up with that, she just loves Hero without any reason explained yet.

Well don't you all look like douchebags?

The episode really just goes over the synopsizes about this series over the web. Ms. Demon King tells Hero why this war is taking place. Every time Hero tries to make a valid point Ms. Demon King is pretty harsh and lays down the reality. Humans want to stop the war? Um they are getting rich at it. Humans are dying because of this war? Um more would die of starvation if the war stopped.

That is only taking place to benefit some beings? I SEE!

Which is really, really sad. I mean putting aside the fact that growing more food SHOULD be simple despite the “pollution”. I mean it is sad because a lot of this could be true? A very cynical view of the world that might be true or be the truth of others. I know this show probably doesn't mean to be this deep but that is what I see. Or am trying to see. Maybe the show is trying to be deep and the bounce is distracting me.

LIES! All of it!

I thought Hero was going to spaz out a bit more about learning all this truth. Basically the human kings were sending him out to die. It could have turned out really bad for him yet they didn't care. He thought he was going to save the day and protect everyone and it turned out to be a lie and the war was being supported by those in power. I wish he had more of a NOOO reaction and stuck to his guns. But after some bounce and noms this all made sense to him.

Err....why don't we just work together and get to know each other....

I am not really following what Ms. Demon King's logic is. Become “mine” and I will become “yours” and together we will find another way to end this war without it affecting us negatively? I am not understanding that logic but I guess we weren't supposed to think that way, what with Ms. Demon King making out with a Hero pillow. They should have agreed to work together in this war. Talking about being a virgin and being together...that was just a lot and almost seemed pointless. Wouldn't it make Hero run away instead? Oh wait he is agreeing? Well never mind. Continue with your insanity please.

Maybe people will forgot about this show too?

So that is about it. Factor in Ms. Demon King was wearing fake demon ears, thinks she has small boobies, and that everyone else in this world seems rotten and everything is...well messed up. We got some mages and other folks looking for Hero but maybe they should just hop on a boat and head towards Middle Earth. I hear they are actually fighting real battles and not trying to profit from war. Just saying.

Little Busters! episode 13

XO I think I accomplished a lot today! Or at least I did enough to say I feel accomplished. As women we must grade ourselves on our days off while men are chillin and enjoying the day. XD But the husband was good. With his help three whole Christmas trees got taken down. The big ones too. That alone should be rewarded with cupcakes. But I am a bit sad that my living room looks so empty without all the trees. :(

Guessing that Kyousuke threw the paper airplane.

Anime wise it seems that there is only one episode out for me to blog so....here it is. No choices for me. See how I am all caught up...because everything took a week off. XD So what is the episode? Little Busters! episode 13. Spoilers for Mio and her parasol driving Riki crazy.

Look at me being so very, very shocked.

Episode Summary: Riki continues to look out the window, shocked that Mio is smiling and looking like a human being without her parasol. But then there is some thunder and POOF smiling Mio is gone. And Mio doesn't appear in class for several more days as it rains. Riki starts getting depressed that no one is talking about Mio so he asks Komari, Rin, and Noumi if they miss her. The three girls look really confused at first, like they don't remember the girl. Riki gets angry and they are like OH YEAH she is sick....but still seem unsure about the situation. Riki tries to talk to Masato about Mio but he has forgotten about her too and only remembers when Riki gets mad. The other classmates don't Mio at all and Riki enters a state of confusion and what the hell? But once the clouds leave Mio reappears in front of Riki. He explains that everyone was forgetting her and what not and she said that was to be expected. She gives Riki her book as she doesn't have much time left. Riki doesn't understand what that means so Mio invites him to the ends of the world. Which ends up being the beach. It looks nice but then Mio has to get all sad about seagulls and flying high in the sky. Mio said she had planned on ending things earlier but spending time with the Little Busters made her almost have hope. Riki is like go towards the hope but Mio says it is too late, there have already been promises or what not made.

Vampires can't die....so my theory is super wrong yes? XD

Suddenly there is another Mio on the scene, one that smiles and has no umbrella. Mio refers to her as Midori. Midori is quick to say interesting things and throw away Mio's parasol. It is revealed that Mio has no shadow. Mio starts getting upset and tells Riki not to look. Riki has a narcolepsy attack and the next thing he knows he is in his room with a worried Masato. Kengo and the other boys ask why Riki was alone at the beach but he has no idea why. Time moves on and everything seems normal at school. Riki seems to think something is missing, especially when he sees birds under a tree looking for food. But nothing out of the ordinary happens and everything continues as usual. That is until Riki finds Mio's book. He gets upset that he forgot about Mio and asks Masato if he knows Mio. Riki is surprised when Masato says yes. Riki runs to class to ask Rin, Noumi, and Komari if they know Mio and they are like duh she is right there. Mio walks in...and is friendly and lovely to everyone. Riki immediately knows that it is Midori yet starts to think he is crazy as no one else notices the change. Midori continues to act nice and involved in school life and Riki doesn't understand what is going on. He sits under Mio's tree and looks at her book when Midori appears in the tree. He demands to know what is going on and Midori wonders why Riki can remember Mio. Riki guesses that Midori is Mio's lost shadow and Midori says he is partially right, revealing she has no shadow either. She doesn't talk about where Mio is, only that Riki will eventually forgot about Mio too. Midori tries to...seduce Riki I suppose and rip the Mio book but that leads Riki to pushing Midori away. Midori smiles all weird like and THE END!

Not again!

MOG! How long is this girl's arc?! I don't even know what is going on with this girl and I just want to find out alright so we can move on. Like we haven't even gotten this much time with the original Little Busters of some of the other new girls but we have like 4 episodes about Mio? Draggy indeed.

I would tell Riki to focus but....

Also I am slightly disappointed and confused on what Mio's problem is. Maybe because I am all like VAMPIRE and I didn't want to be wrong. But I guess I will go in order of the episode to make sense. Which is boring but you know. I keep typing that, ya'll must know a lot.

Riki had a lot of dramatic face moments this episode.

Even after being told a bit of Mio's problem I don't understand why her classmates were forgetting her. While the episode was happening I was just puzzled. Because before it just appeared that no one really noticed her, not that she was actually nearly invisible/no presence at all. We had some.....shall we say very quiet kids at our school and yet if they weren't in class it was still noticeable. Especially when there is an empty seat to reference.

Why is everyone crazy?!

So while Riki was losing his mind and getting angry doing so I guess is understandable. Especially since the Little Busters are known for opening their arms wide and accepting all. Maybe Riki felt as if everyone was picking on Mio? That they only embrace outgoing people and since Riki was a shy person at first he can relate to Mio more? Or maybe he thought it was a giant prank and was getting pissed off. Either way it was almost Riki smash time.

Well this is probably not a good sign Riki.

When Mio does reappear on a sunny day she doesn't open her mouth and say what was wrong with her or what her magical secret is. Because that would just be silly folks. No no she just has to do this long song and dance routine. Give Riki her book. Not answer his questions. Because if she told him what was going on what fun would that be? TO THE BEACH!!!

But...I still am going to leave. Just thought I would tell you I appreciate you trying.

So we get to the beach...and we still get no explanation. Riki doesn't really seem to want one anymore. Not since Mio is going on and on about how she almost changed her mind about all of this because of the Little Busters. Riki focused the more on changing her mind than what the thing that was going to take her away. Like okay not following what you are saying but go towards the light. The light that has baseball, cats, and the spirit of youth.

Can I just say walking around under an umbrella all the time must be hard? I nearly crashed into my car today because of my umbrella. XD

The Mio look alike appears and her name is Midori. And Midori is a bit mean spirited. Or maybe she sensed that us viewers wanted some answers. Behind door number one: Mio carries a parasol because she has no shadow! Wait that is actually interesting please tell me more. WAIT RIKI NOOOOO!

Thanks Riki. Wouldn't want to know more or anything.

At least Riki doesn't only have narcolepsy attacks when important things are said. He has had one during fun, while cooking, and now when we are learning about the Mio shadowless thing. It would make me mad if it only happened during important moments. Good thing that Riki always gets rescued and brought back by good people. Someone is always looking out for that kid.

Masato is always there for Riki. He needs more respect.

When Riki first wakes up there is no Mio. And Riki can't remember her. He just talks about how something seems off but never mentions Mio. And no one else does either. So I thought maybe she was slowly fading from existence and her shadow was the first thing to go. She would always talk about time and how she didn't have much left. But if she wasn't sick this would be a likely explanation right?

But me remembering was supposed to be important!!!

Since Riki was given Mio's book he was able to remember her. Right at the same time everyone else remembered Mio. And when Mio appeared in class. At first I was like....well that was pretty anticlimactic Why would Riki need a jolt if everyone else was going to remember her too?

Well that is a creepy little smile there "Mio".

Only it turned out it was Midori in the classroom. A happy and talkative version of Mio that everyone likes and talks up. Riki is not having a good week as far as his friends see it. First he is trying to tell them that Mio is missing and now he is losing his mind and insisting that this is Midori. Who the heck is Midori?I am surprised they didn't send Riki to the clinic. Of course....Riki is right and was just frustrated about how special his life has been lately.

I would say that Mio is Midori's shadow now but...no one has a shadow. And who knew the kids teasing Mio were right?! X___X

Okay so Midori approaches Riki later to explain just what the heck is going on. Only NOT! Riki guesses that Midori is Mio's missing shadow and she says he is 80 percent right? What the heck? A shadow? That is the real secret? It doesn't even make sense. Shouldn't she be an evil reflection or something?! And why doesn't Midori have a shadow? Because she is a shadow? Oh and WHERE IS MIDORI?! Midori seemed to agree to this disappearance. Did her shadow gain a soul and told Mio that the world would better with Midori than Mio?

So not Mio X_____X

In any event I am like...this is special. But I guess I should be happy that they are not twins because I was like NOOOO they can't be twins. I guess I just thought it was going to be wrapped up and explained in this episode and it wasn't. Which is fine. Just wondering why Mio is getting so much attention and if she is going to return. And it was slightly draggy, just come out with the truth faster gosh. XD

Shin Sekai Yori episode 14

Hello there my lovely readers. I almost killed all humans I came into contact at work with today. See my New Year's Resolution is working. Because before I would have at least taken out three of those annoying people. But I did good see? And I am running out places to hide the bodies. No backyard you know.

The only scene in the show that people are remembering. XD So...where is Mamoru during this time?

But before work I managed to watch/blog one episode. I would have had it up but apparently here at Tenchi's Thoughts we are going to try something different in terms of screenies. I am not sure why it is taking 45 minutes to download one episode but who knows. Anyway Shin Sekai Yori episode 14 and pretty screenies. Spoilers for everything being okay, according to one adult.

Everyone seems to be in a good mood today.

Episode Summary: Last time we saw our heroes/kids/victims things were not looking so great. Mamoru was crying about Killer Cats were coming to kill him thus he ran away from town. Well obviously this episode starts off with Satoru smiling and waving as he goes back to the village. He has decided to go back to...I don't know, make things better since Granny is so high up in the village. He leaves and Saki soon realizes that maybe she should go too as Granny has said Saki is the special one, not Satoru. There are a series of artistic conversations between Saki, Mamoru, and Maria. But Maria decides to stay behind since Mamoru is too afraid. Saki is unable to catch up to Satoru and instead is greeted by her parents. Her parents have no happy reunion as they are to take Saki to the Education Committee. Saki's mom wishes her luck and presses her to tell the truth. Instead there are several people ready to grill Saki but only two people really talk to her. The head lady with the short hair and some second rate banana who acts like she wants to punch Saki in the throat. Saki says that she will answer all the questions truthfully and does so at first. They ask the basic questions then it turns into why did Mamoru run away. Saki decides well they are going to kill me anyway, might as well mention the fact I know about the Killer Cats. Saki's bold answers piss of Second Banana and even Head Lady is is like look here we don't have time for games. Everyone gets very quiet and try to remind Granny that they are in charge when things get this bad. Granny smiles and says that they are all at fault for creating this problem and let her handle Saki. Saki is then released into Granny's care.

I think the problem is that you humans are trying to make this work and clearly it is not.

Saki is taken to Granny's house (well maybe just away) whose pets turn out to be the Killer Cats. Saki wants to know if she was going to be killed without intervention and Granny is like...maybe but you and Satoru are fine now. Granny wants Saki to bring Mamoru and Maria back to the village and promises that they will have her protection if she does so. But if Saki is unable to do this in 3 days the village will send the QueerRats to kill the two. And if Maria and Mamoru are able to survive the elements and those QueerRats no village will accept them and will send their own QueerRats. Saki questions why they can't just be left alone but Granny says that Saki doesn't see the big picture, that people are scared and that a line is being crossed. Granny offers to take Saki to the dock so she can boat off to adventure. Along the way Saki is asked to guess Granny's age and when she guesses wrong Saki is told the right age. 267. Granny saw that fiend way back forever ago so that is why she thinks everyone going bananas now is a bit over the top. She is able to stay in power due to her special skill of controlling her cells. Really her power is time and the knowledge she has gained due to being around so very long. She has seen many things and that is why she knows Saki is special. Saki's pottery making skill is something that will be needed to control cells thus Saki was being molded from the start. Granny sends Saki on her way along with Satoru to rescue Maria and Mamoru. Only when they arrive to where the snow shelter should be...well it is not there. THE END!

I think that you should worry about...everyone. At all times. Because you are in the anime Shin Sekai Yori.

Well hot damn folks. This show is still creepy as hell. Good to know a week off for the holidays didn't make this show any less What The Hell Did I Just Watch. There will be an explanation on why Saki doesn't just level the entire planet because what is the point anymore right?

SMILES FOR ALL!

I think when Satoru took off for the village maybe just maybe my little friends....Satoru could have looked a little worried. Like maybe he had just gotten a suitcase full of awful news and here is the matching carry on bag and no one told him about the check in fees. I can understand that Satoru was trying to be brave for Mamoru's sake but when he and Saki exchanged a glance he could have looked...like dude we are totally not getting out of this one alive.

Granny has my back. AND WHAT?!

I can understand Saki thinking that MAYBE things can be okay. She might have a tiny bit of pull since Granny has hand picked her to be the successor/leader of the village. But when still Granny would not protect Satoru back in the Fail Eevee days. Saki was probably the only reason why any of those kids survived. Well that and the precious experiment but more on that later. While Granny is trying to teach Saki that sometimes cruel things have to happen to protect the bigger population maybe Saki thought she could make a case. Like cashing in my one I might be leader favor now.

Because you have been killing kids for years? Just saying.

I think Saki had a good shot anyway. Or maybe in her mind she thought she did. She knows the truth about everything. Satoru only knows they are getting messed with and are in potential danger all the damn time. So Saki could use the knowledge of past events to explain that Mamoru really isn't that much of a threat. Hell I don't really see why he is a threat. Of course I don't see a lot of things about this show but still. Mamoru is just a little weak. A little timid. And a little bit of a crybaby. Not someone who has huge power leaking out of him. And if Mamoru had been left alone not someone who would go fiend on them.

Thanks Satoru.....

Of course now that a reason for some of this insanity has been explained one has to wonder if Mamoru being targeted for termination was planned. Something else to make Saki stronger? If so that would be messed up. Maybe all 5 kids were chosen in hopes one would be leader and if someone doesn't make the grade they are taken out. Because they know too much. Only one person with the knowledge of all the horribleness can live. So even if Mamoru is average in class and would really never hurt anyone he is the weakest out of group 1 and was going to be killed regards. Had he been in group 2 or 3 he could have lived on in blissful ignorance with happy bunny thoughts. Thems the breaks?

Goodbye indeed.

Maria better watch out herself. She used to be at the top of the pack but has slowly started to sink. Clearly she was never going to be on Shun's level. Perhaps he was meant to be the leader of the Board of Education and Saki the leader of the village/Ethic Committee and make a great pair. In terms of power it appeared Maria was just behind Shun. But as this show is slowly revealing things are not always as they appear and Maria floating and bouncing around in the air might not be that amazing. But even if Maria had amazing powers she clearly sways with the wind. She acts all big and bad but falls apart rather easily. So I am thinking that the order the kids are on in the promotional art for this show is the order they die. Spoiler alert? XD

I think Saki feels like throwing up but you know...yay for food?

This show is so messed up. Saki returns home and her parents don't even get a minute with her before she is off to danger again. At this point it should be expected but maybe her parents should have started crying or something. Only people under the age of 17 are in danger of being disposed of because they are not human they could risk showing some emotion yes? At this point they should know that Saki knows a lot more than she should thus the being brave her point might not apply.

Let me tell you about how safe this conversation is making me feel.

Saki really held her own during the meeting. Only two of the Educational members spoke during the...wait why did I say meeting? More like interrogation. Ms. In Charge and her Second Banana were the ones who talked though. Ms. Second Banana seemed pissed off at the world. THE WORLD folks. Like these kids should have just stayed in town and patiently waited to be killed. Because the stories in school are supposed to teach the kids to be docile and scared of the world, that being dead is better for all.

I will mess you up!

But I guess being that mad makes sense. These people have to be harsh with everyone to protect what is left of their messed up life. Everyone has to fall in line or it could fall apart at any second. Plus if the Education Committee goes around and hands out fear in party bags it might be a little jarring to come across someone who is defiant and what not. Plus deep down they are all still Japanese. I thought the Head Lady could have done a bit more talking. She seemed to be interesting in getting down to the truth while Second Banana was like RARW obey me. Not that any of this matters as Satoru spilled the beans already.

But we're in charge!!!!!

When Granny walked in the mood got weird. The Education Committee kept saying that this was a matter for them to handle yet the sweat drops on everyone's faces told a different story. Like you can't tell me what to do. But excuse me while I piss my pants anyway. Now it turns out there are two very good reasons for why they should listen to Granny. But I think it is important to note that Granny didn't think Mamoru should have been terminated....and if he did it should have done in a much better way. Okay maybe that part wasn't interesting but Granny is sorta head of the village and knows when people should be taken out or not. Which means that the Education Committee might be reacting a bit fast with the Killer Cats since Shun appeared.

Haven't I suffered enough?!

After Granny saved Saki she takes her back to her place. With the Killer Cats. I liked that moment of the show. I know it was to show that Granny is badass but really Saki should just melt from it all by now. But since Saki is special she seems to be doing okay. So what truth does Granny have for Saki this week? Gotta feed her first before unleashing that truth.

Mamoru probably should have been in the bubble group.

So one of the reasons that the Educational Committee got spanked was because...Group 1 is being experimented on. Remember how I said what about the other kids, aren't they missing people and what not? Well they probably aren't. At least not at the level Group 1 has been experiencing. Bratty kids and weak ones are plucked out of class and quickly forgotten. But when Group 1 came back from their QueerRat war they all should have been killed. Instead they were kept around to see what could happen. Because as Granny points out the leaders in this town have to be wolves, not sheep. This makes sense except the weak girl and Mamoru were placed in this group when Granny said it was the best of the best in this group, the ones with the most potential. I can see Mamoru being used as a prop to make the others better but the other girl? Seems like she was more there to be a shock factor to the viewers.

That incident? PSHT so long ago.

So the second part of Granny's truth. Well it was something I was questioning when I saw her. Like um you don't look like you are Granny age. So when Saki guessed the high number of 67 I was like oh snap she doesn't look like old. Well it turns out that Granny is 267 years old and the reason why she thinks the Education Committee is reacting fast is because there hasn't been a fiend in over 130 years.

A lot of time folks. A lot.

Oh folks. Oh indeed. Granny is really, really old. After going into the biological reason to why she is able to live so long (which would be helpful in fighting cancer too!) she slides in the fact that Saki might be able to do this too. That Saki and her stupid pottery making self is actually HELPING. So while Maria might look cool Saki is being taught something that might help her live for a really, really long time. See how creepy this show is?

Especially if you can live forever!!!

Of course this leads to the question why would Granny need to train Saki to take over the village if she can live forever? Well she didn't say forever Tenchi. She just has been alive for a very long time thus far. She can still be killed, just not from old age. She might want to have a backup plan in case that happens. Or maybe she is going to opt out of this world since she has been around for so long. Like okay I did my part, time to give the reigns to someone else.

But if you bring them back everything will be okay PROMISE!

I found myself questioning why Saki would believe this lie, that go bring Mamoru and Maria back and they will live. I mean...she knows most of the truth. So why would she believe that if Mamoru comes back they will let him live? They didn't want him to live before when he didn't do anything wrong. So....why would Saki believe that Granny is going to be able to keep her word and keep the Education Committee at bay? It just seems odd. No matter how smart Saki is sometimes she still follows her heart and the programing of the school.

Just tell her the truth, the stork really does bring babies. Only the stork is a machine in the library or something.

But now I think I know why adult Saki (who might be 83943 years old now) says Maria caused the deaths of many people. Granny was very adamant about sending Satoru and Saki out to get Maria and Mamoru, a girl AND a boy. That since there was a boy AND a girl out there things could get dangerous very fast and the entire world might be in jeopardy. That is Mamoru and Satoru were out there or Mari and Saki no one would really go after them and send tons of QueerRats to get them. Now why would that be? Well if a society is controlling everything else about your life you can bet they are controlling when/how babies are born. If they are born at all. Maybe everyone is a test tube baby. They could have tons of technology and be hiding it from everyone else. They grow a baby and then brainwash a couple into thinking that the baby is theirs. Only if Maria comforts out of his mind Mamoru that would be unsanctioned sex. Maybe everyone is given pills or something in their food to keep them infertile and by missing some treatments Maria could get pregnant.

What do you mean they left?! Don't they know it is all going to be okay?!?!

So there it stands folks. Saki and Satoru are going to rescue Maria and Mamoru from QueerRats, themselves, and the village. Only to take them back to the village. Where Mamoru would probably be killed anyway. However Maria and Mamoru aren't where they left him and in the previews for next week there is more QueerRat war. And if this war lasts longer than the 1 day war last time...well maybe we will be seeing a cute little fiend baby running around? Because clearly it is all Maria's fault. ALL HER FAULT! Until next time....

Winter 2013 Anime Line-up! Tenchi's Picks!

Behold for it is Tenchi's Winter 2013 Anime Line-up!!! Well at least my pics for it anyway. And I have so much time to spare folks. Why I have mere hours until the shows start airing. Look at me, being right on time for things. Pat on the back for me. XD

I think this is what winter looks like. I wouldn't know as it was 65 degrees today.

This season seems rather light though. A lot of the shows seem to 12 episodes each while most of the Fall shows were 22+. Sorta like filler anime until the Spring? It seems to be the case with me anyway. I have 4 carry over shows (Shin Sekai Yori, Little Busters!, Zetsuen no Tempest, and Psycho-Pass) from the Fall Season. So it might not be the end of the world I only have three maybes from the long list of Winter 2013 pickins. Lets see what I might add to that semi full list. Also my entire post is stolen from the internets, the pictures and synopsizes. Thanks internet!

Amnesia 

Remembering my life with these hotties might be fun.

Synopsis: On the morning of August 1, the heroine wakes up and discovers she has absolutely no memories of the past. A boy appears before her, and introduces himself as a "spirit" named Orion. The heroine struggles to regain her memories under the guidance of Orion. She then gets a phone call, but she does not recognize the name on her mobile phone screen. She meets her apparent "boyfriend," despite not knowing his face.

I am watching this show. Because all the guys are hot and have the weirdest eyes ever. It might make me dizzy or something but hello I want to watch this show just because of the amazing eyes. Does anyone have names in these synopsizes that I steal from the internet? Apparently not. 

But after watching the PV I am down for giving this show a chance. It looks like Ms. Heroine thinks she works at a cafe of some sort but behind the scenes there has to be some magic going on. I mean did you see their eyes? She will probably end up being some kind of magical princess with the hotties being sworn to protect her. Only I hope she is a better Princess than Ms. Potato. :( So this show is on the closer end to yes. Stranding the line of yes and maybe. But probably yes since it is hard for me to drop shows after I start them.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha

Parting is such sweet sorrow. I might be parting soon though.

Synopsis: After a long and treacherous journey, our Hero finally arrives at the Dark Lady's castle only to find himself being asked for help. The Hero explains how the war that the demons have brought upon the humans have killed thousands and put more in misery. The queen of demons however argues that this war has made the human society band together as one and showed empirical evidence how it has increased population, increased production, boosted economy and improved society overall. Furthermore, she explains to the Hero that ending this war will result in a civil war that will produce more bloodshed than there ever was. The Hero, convinced that the only way to bring peace, relatively speaking, is to join forces with the Dark Lady, agrees to help with her plans! 

Thoughts: Wow. What really, really bad art. Almost Shin Sekai Yori episode 5 type bad. Okay nothing can be that bad. But this came close. I know I only watched a PV but still. Could they have tried any less? Or is that how it is supposed to be? X___X What is wrong with their eyes?

But about the show itself...I am not sure I am down with it. I thought maybe it would be interesting, sorta take the place of that special show Sword Art Online. But after watching the PV I am not sure now. It appears the arguing that Ms. Queen does might have taken place in part with her boobies. I see folks. Mr. Hero is supposed to save his people and went on this long quest but blushes at the sight of his enemy? HMMM folks. HMMMM. This is definitely on the maybe list. Halfway to no. We shall see I suppose.

Tamako Market

I might ignore the bird though...

Synopsis: Tamako is a mochi-loving high-school freshman whose family runs a mochi (rice cake) shop in a certain town's shopping district. She enjoys her high school life with her friends Midori and Kanna in the badminton club. She also helps out at her family's shop and develops new mochi. The people who made K-On! created this show. Really they could film a potato and some cake for 22 minutes and I would probably watch it. I am that much of a sucker for their cute artwork. Even if some of the characters in this show look similar to other characters...... 

But yes folks. Cute little shopping districts in Japan? I must see. Rival mochi shops? Okay maybe interesting. A giant...bird thing? Okay that part might be dumb. But even though I don't know many companies that produce animes or voice actor/actresses. But I do know that I love K-On! to pieces and I might need a slice of life show that doesn't involve collecting a harem in a magical adventure land. Oh and it seems these cute girls don't run around showing their panties like other shows that broke my tiny little heart. So I am going to say yes to this show. I want to see family run stores that don't involve running out of boxes and the power company threatening to shut us down. 

Air Date: January 10, 2013 

Number of episodes: 12

So that is about it folks! Three shows with one barely hanging on by a thread before I saw episode 1. I had two other shows on the maybe list but reading other people's thoughts on them lead me to believe they would be all about fanservice so off I skip. If I do end up picking up all these shows I will have 7. That will be a full week. So while there wasn't a lot to pick from it is enough for me. Hopefully everything people watch is satisfying to them...even if some of them look special. Thanks for reading!

2012 memories and 2013 goals Tenchi version

Hello there my lovely readers! It is officially January 3rd 2013. Day three of the New Year. Have we kept to our New Year's Resolutions or have we already broken them? Or are you like slacker Tenchi and yet to state yours yet? XD Even though Facebook kept bothering me to do so.....

So much to think about...

I suppose some obvious resolutions for me would be to better manage my time IE stop being late to work every single day. Or maybe to squirrel away money like it is going out of style. I could resolve to become a better speller but I am not sure how to make that happen. And how else would I entertain my friends if all my texts were spelled correctly. How about resolving not to watch so many crappy reality shows? Oh how about yelling less at customers at work. XD.....Nah.  

Perhaps what I need to do most in my life right now or what my life needs is for me to go with the flow more often. Not be so rigged or set in my ways. Like when I get up in the morning I have a plan of what I want/am going to do the rest of the day. If someone calls and says HEY lets go to the mall I go OH NOOOO my plans to do this, this, and this won't be accomplished what ever shall I do?! Yes folks it applies to the fun things as well as Um the appliance just blew up time to go to the store now. 

So this year I am going to trying and say okay...and actually mean it. XD Not be so rigid. Whatever gets blogged gets blogged. If I get a little bit behind on episodes then so be it. I can do it tomorrow or the next day. I will just get up and get ready for the day. If something comes up I will be ready for it. If not I will do my original plan. Just......go with the flow. Yes just go with the flow. And maybe if I go with the flow a bit more it will spill over into the other things I should make a resolution. Well except the spelling one obviously. Now that I have a resolution written down I feel accomplished! And maybe Facebook will stop harassing me wee! I can now look to the year 2013 with hope and anticipation. Well until February right? When most resolutions are broken? 

With a new year ahead of us one always looks to the year behind them to see what worked, what sucked, and what was exciting. 2012 was full of up and downs for everyone I'm sure. So what exactly in 2012 stood out to me and how can 2013 be any better? Exactly one year ago today I lost my little furry baby of 16 years. My little Kiki rest in peace. He was....well a handful most of the time. I am pretty sure he liked me...maybe. In any event he was my little boy and my first pet. It was a sad day for my husband and I and probably Kira.

In 2013 the husband and I are going to really think about whether or not we are going to get another fur baby. We have talked about it before but not like well lets go find another cat or No Kira is enough. I do love my baby Kira with all my heart so this decision will probably come down to her. Is she okay with being a spoiled kid with all the pets and love being directed to her? Or would she like a playmate when the husband and I are not around, someone to run around the house with and blame things on? XO What to do what to do..... 

In 2012 the husband and I took a lot of fun trips. XD Many fun trips actually. We went to Downtown Disney a great number of times. We were gifted with a day trip to Legoland and Busch Gardens gave the military free day passes. We also had three fun days at the Universal Theme Parks as the military got a great deal/free tickets. Also (sensing a theme) due to the military we were able to attend both the Halloween and Christmas Parties at the Magic Kingdom. Throw in random trips to St. Augustine and Anime Weekend Atlanta and we had a year full of fun.

2013 will probably be a little different. I say probably because I can't see into the future but I am planning for the future. Long term. Well not long term but a good chunk away. That is because in 2014 the husband and I are aiming for...Japan. XD Orginially we were going to wait longer to go back to Japan but the brother was like um didn't I tell you I was only going to be here for two years? Thus there needs to be money saving happening now to make that happen in 2014!

I am not saying there will be no amazing trips this year. But I think AWA is defintely out of the question. That is a big chunk of hotel money and time off for the husband. And if the military offers free/cheap tickets of course we will try to take advantage of that. Just probably not as many weekends/three days of continuous fun. Maybe that means we can spend more time in town with our friends going to the movies on cheap days and what not. Surely we will find something for Duffy to do yes? XD 

In 2012 I wanted to kill half of our customers. I don't see that changing in 2013. 

Just kidding. Or am I? I am sure our customers will not change. Actually I can predict when rules start being followed (starting the 2nd) our customers will be worse that usual. But maybe with this go with the flow attitude I can find more...humor in the situation? Not to take it so personal. I mean when people are being directly mean to me I am sure I will still be upset. But in general when people are being pains in the butt I can have moment and then see it more as a funny story to share later than an angry one? I mean...I rather customers not suck but at the end of the day it isn't my store and I don't get paid enough to deal with all the problems. The drama can entertain me but it shouldn't consume me yes?

I spent a lot of time in 2012 watching reality TV shows and playing little Facebook games. I am guessing that will remain the same for 2013 but I hope it doesn't consume me. More like meh if I am home I can do them but not to plan time around them. Like I will meet you at the movies once I watch/do this. Of course if my Facebook games get deleted because the company is going under I might not have control. 

Overall 2012 had some high points and some low points for me. I hope that my friends and family can all find jobs and get their relationship issues settled. No more health scares for anyone! Overall I want everyone happy and healthy. Add in a few Disney pins and customers tipping me decently so I can go to Japan I will be set for 2013. XD Peace out 2012. Thanks for the memories. A lot of them. Time to create some new ones. And I will start....by going to bed.

OH SNAP! I forgot to mention that in 2012 I wanted to blast my neighbors to the moon with their rude and inconsiderate behavior. Not to mention they couldn't find the trash compactor to save their lives. But while I was taking out the trash on New Year's Eve to get ready for my guests I saw my neighbors packing up their house. Like things in trash bags lets get out of here kind of moving. XO How is that for amazing folks?! Thank you God!!!! I spent many mornings wide awake because of their rude antics and now they are gone and hopefully will get replaced with an elderly couple who keep to themselves and 15 cats. Just wanted to add that 2013 will be a more positive one just with that little event. What a way to end the year yes? WEE!
