Winter 2012 Anime Line-Up!

X_____X The Walking Dead has blown my mind. Do you see my mind? Oh that is right it is BLOWN! Three of us all picked the one “main” character we thought was going to die (because that is what season finales are all about!) and all of us were wrong. WRONG! So very wrong. At least we don’t have to wait until next October to see new episodes.

In other news SOME Christmas trees have ornaments. We are getting their folks. It is a process. As long as it gets done before December 1st I am a happy person. Well until January 10th when the husband is like okay bye Christmas!

Snow is best enjoyed inside. Safe from the cold.

So while I recover from my shock X__X I went through the Winter 2012 Anime Line-up. Gotta see how far behind I am going to be next year ya know? XD The Winter Line-up is usually a lot lighter than the Fall one so let’s see what caught my eye!



Black★Rock Shooter

Maybe this time things will be better? Hopefully?

When the Black Rock Shooter OVA came out many people were excited and counting down the days. Then they actually watched it and most of the internet went meh. Meh indeed.

So what is this about 8 episodes of Black Rock Shooter? Well this is a brief sentence I managed to find on the internets : The upcoming television series will continue from where the OVA left off, focusing on the lives of Mato, Yomi and Yuu, as well as Black Rock Shooter.

Well then. Maybe people who saw the OVA will finally be told…WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON. And for those who were spared the OVA….they might have a positive experience. I wonder why it is only 8 episodes though. That seems like such an odd and short number. But I would like to learn more about the “Other World” and why such a small matter as jealously over a new best friend lead the girls to be possessed by half naked super hero people.

Air Date: January


Another

So....did they prop her up in her seat and take her on school trips? Because if so that is creepy.

Synopsis: 26 years ago, in a third-year classroom of a middle school, there was a student named Misaki. As an honors student who was also good at sports, the charming girl was popular with her classmates. When she suddenly died, her classmates decided to carry on as if she was still alive until graduation. Then, in the spring of 1998, a boy named Sakakibara Kouichi transfers to that classroom, and he grows suspicious of the fearful atmosphere in that classroom. In particular, there is a beautiful, aloof girl named Mei Misaki who wears an eyepatch and is always alone drawing pictures.

WEEE! The one and only show that I don’t know what it is going to be about! Well… I did read the synopsis. But you know how accurate those can be. Sometimes they do tell you exactly what the show is going to be about and sometimes it is a giant troll paragraph that leads to viewers into a false sense of security.

But either way this is the only “new” show for me this season. Which is fine. Hopefully it turns out to be a good addition to my list and not a boring predictable one. Like I am already thinking that Kouichi himself might already be dead as it is set in 1998. We shall see.

Air Date: December 26th 2011


Continuing from the Fall Line-up are the following shows:


Guilty Crown- A bit MEH for me. Watching because it is pretty and fun to laugh at.

Mirai Nikki- Break out hit of the season! Have enjoyed every minute of it!

Shakugan no Shana III – Maybe had the second and third season been closer together I would be more WOOHOO about the series. But I do find it to be an interesting story…just a little drawn out I think. Maybe.

X___X Well that is 5 series isn’t it? XD So I guess I can look forward to being totally behind again? But since January through April has very low potential for travel and major holiday events maybe it will be more doable. Maybe. But probably not. At least I will be busy yes?

Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi Season Two episode 8: Kisa is emo part 2!

X__X Christmas trees look so weird without ornaments on them. All the trees went up by Friday night but I was too tired to actually get the ornaments on the tree. Because boxes are hard. Then I was in a foul mood when I came home from work yesterday so I just looked at the ornaments on the floor. Today folks…they will get up. Maybe after this post though.

In other news I will be eating a Tenchi Thanksgiving later today. Hopefully anyway. I am a girl who likes her food separate on the plate and then maybe I will mix it together. Like I want JUST mashed potatoes. JUST green beans. A very plain person indeed. I am sure all the lovely foods I did not try on Thanksgiving were good. Just not for a picky eater as myself.

Say what?! An episode about me?!

So let’s blog an episode that I watched last night but was in too foul of a mood to appreciate. XD Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi episode 8 weee! Finally we get to see Kisa and his emo glory. Spoilers for problems people can relate to.

Did someone knock down your house of sticks too?

Episode Summary: A bunch of girls are staring and gossiping about the beauty that is Yukina. Kisa and his dead tired self finally make it to the meeting place and is nearly killed by the sparkling Yukina and probably the glares from all the girls. Kisa explains he JUST got out of work and is dead tired. So instead of spending their day off doing things….they go back to Yukina’s place for some sexy times. Yukina still gets all nervous about sexy times and Kisa might find that endearing. Kisa passes out and wakes up again as Yukina has made them some food. Kisa apologizes for not being able to go out today. Yukina is understands that Kisa has to work and says that they can do something next Sunday, a special event that ends on Sunday. Kisa is like oh…I have to work that day. Yukina smiles and says it is okay. Kisa starts eating in silence. He thinks how they have barely had any time to really go on a date since they “got” together. That Yukina never gets mad when plans are broken. Kisa would like Yukina to get upset sometimes, act like it is bothering him. Because if he doesn’t then maybe Yukina doesn’t really care. Either Yukina is perfect or Kisa feels stronger for Yukina then Yukina feels for Kisa. More doubts are put into Kisa’s mind when a college friend sends him a marriage invitation. He is not marrying the girl he was with for 10 years because they slowly drifted apart and there was no way to put the relationship back together again. Kisa is like X___X.

But what about the censors?!

Sometime later Kisa manages to schedule like 2 hours window of time to see Yukina in between working. Kisa is working his butt off and is ready to walk out the door when Takano and Ritsu stop him. Earlier in the episode Kisa was pleased to learn that his manga artist’s work has been chosen to become an anime. Kisa is excited that his hard work (???) has paid off and wants to work harder but not at the expensive of spending time with Yukina. But now the manga artist has lost her mind under the pressure and her newest manga chapters sucks. It is a complete mess and Kisa needs to fix it right now or all is lost. Kisa is unable to get a hold of Yukina to tell him the meeting is off. Kisa jets out of the office and if he runs and the train is on time he can spend 5 minutes with Yukina. Only Yukina calls and says not to bother. That he isn’t mad, just that he understands and maybe next time. Kisa screams GET MAD STUPID and hangs up. Kisa is beyond frustrated with the situation. After work (I think) Kisa goes to see Yukina if even just for a moment. Only Yukina meets up with a girl and together they walk down a road that is littered with love hotels. THE END!

Kisa? Is that you? I can’t remember because it is has been so long since I have seen you. Heck a side couple got an episode before you. So sad.

Maybe that is why Kisa was so emo this episode? Kisa is emo part two!

We can't be sunshine and rainbows all the time.

I can feel for Kisa. Sometimes when you are tired and hate the world the worst thing that can happen to you is to be surrounded by a person who sparkles. They are just so happy and upbeat you want to hide from them. Of course the more positive thinking would be HEY maybe this person and their good mood will rub off on me but that is rarely the case. It is more like BLEH stop it. Because their happy mood and smile makes your bad mood more obvious and then people ask what is wrong with you and that makes you madder and then you burn down the pizza place.

Every single girl in the area needs to get laid. Did you see the way they were molesting Yukina with their eyes?!

Or maybe Yukina was sparkling because he is good looking. Probably that. Too much beauty to look at when all Kisa wants to see is the inside of his eyelids. But I would like to think my theory is correct. Silly happy people.

MOG his shirt is still on!

The whole Yukina is blushy thing was done way better in the manga. Mainly because it made more sense. But also because you know…they were ACTUALLY in the middle of having sex. Like Kisa and his mouth were full at the moment. Stupid new rules in Japan about censoring the good stuff. But I guess if we can’t have an actual sex scene (did Kisa seriously wake up with his pants ON?!)…we can chalk it up to Yukina being all nervous because he is eager to have sex with his love.

Kisa is THE MAN who can do things with his pants on.

Or you know….doing things. They do THINGS together. Because we can’t see the sex or even say the word sex. Because then our little minds would explode.

Could this street get any more shady?!

Out of all the misunderstandings and over dramatic scenes that are in this anime I think Kisa’s make the most sense. Of course the episode does end with the GASP maybe my man is actually interested in a girl deal. Maybe I will chalk that up to not being a man in a relationship with a man. And not being Japanese. I don’t really view men having sex with other men as experimental but I know people tend to think that girls having sex with other girls might just be college experimenting and whatever. So maybe that is what is going on…this entire series. Each people freaking out is just concerned they are an experiment. Or something.

You can't say the word NO at work!

But getting back to Kisa’s problems. They make sense to me. His job really sucks. I wonder if that is why the Japanese people have such a low birth rate people. Hard to do sexy times when you are dead tired. And then how hard it must be to meet and date new people if one is constantly worried about work and separating the trash into its correct components and WALKING EVERYWHERE!

I've heard that before. :(

Kisa actually found someone due to work yet they do not work at the same place. The demands on Kisa are that of an “adult” while Yukina has more of a “youth” job. I am not saying that to be mean or classist. Just stating that is how things work in a lot of places. Like my job is just a random job, on a career. I go home at the end of my shift and I am free to do whatever I want. Sometimes when you have a career job you stay until the job is done with no extra pay. Sometimes you spend your free time doing things that will make your job run smoother. And sometimes you have to do those long after work beer drinking parties instead of spending your free time doing something you want.

No. People should work to live, not live to work.

I think it is sad really. I mean don’t get me wrong I love Japan. It was a blast to visit there. My husband would like to work there. But I am sure if he did find a job there it would be an American military one. Because I don’t think I could handle life as a housewife to a salary man. Or any kind of office worker. The pressures to stay late and work twice as hard with the same pay are not WEEE things for me. I would want him to come home after work and spend time with ME not the people he already spent 9 hours plus with that day. So as much fun as it sounds to go shopping every day and being a lady that lunched the hard reality would be spending less time with my husband. And living in a shoebox not big enough for my nendoroids.

A scary thought when you think your feelings might not be returned.

That is where Kisa is. Not the married part obviously but maybe his situation is worse? Because I am already in a committed relationship and we are pretty comfortable with each other. And I am a part of a culture that allows me to freely speak my mind and not hold things in. Kisa is a man and in a culture that doesn’t really allow for him to speak freely about his hurt little feelings. He is also the older, more “experienced” partner so he feels stupid about feeling insecure. But his job keeps him from getting to know his new partner and all they seem to have time for is sex.

Sometimes mini explosions are necessary for one's mental health.

Factor in the fact that Yukina is either PERFECT or doesn’t have real feelings for him and I can see why Kisa is running around like an emo kid. I mean…sometimes I hold in my anger when something out of my husband’s control does happen. It is not his fault and I understand that. But if it happens over and over again the irritation will eventually seep through my strained smile and I will scream THIS IS NOT FAIR! So while I can appreciate that Yukina is being understanding he needs to vocalize the fact that not seeing Kisa is bothersome. He thinks he is helping Kisa by not feeling guilty but in the end he is just making Kisa feel unloved.

So in this instance my husband would call Yukina’s situation a lose/lose. If he complained about Kisa’s work schedule that would make him a jerk who doesn’t understand that horrible position Kisa is with juggling work and personal life. If he doesn’t complain about Kisa’s work schedule…we get this episode and an emo Kisa.

WEEE the pressures of being a manga artist increase when your work actually gets popular.

X__X How did some of this post end up being about me? Well I guess in a way that is a positive thing yes? I can relate to Kisa’s issues. They are not so far out there that they are beyond me understanding the. Kisa’s issues are done in a way that he doesn’t look like a cry baby and he feels like a real person in a sad situation. :(

I love you mangas but why does creating them make people so crazy and sick? Poor Kisa.

Kimi to Boku episode 8

So…I hate my job. I am thankful I have a source of income but I am not thankful with all the bull crap I have to put up with at work. On November 1st my boss wrote on the calendar we were closed Thursday and Friday. On Monday I made the CLOSED sign. So why is it I was iced out at work today for not showing up YESTERDAY?!

Because I work in the twilight zone. Do not come and visit me though. They tend to hold people hostage instead of letting them be tourists.

Where is the green one?!

So since I am deeply behind in blogging (maybe I should just say when I am caught up because this whole season I have been behind) let’s don this! We shall decorate trees tomorrow. Spoilers for Kimi to Boku episode 8. Enjoy!

Well obviously the drawing process cannot take place then.

Episode Summary: Yuki is approached by a younger classman. Turns out he is in the same club as Yuki and needs Yuki to draw 5 manga pages for their magazine. After being insane Yuki agrees and the kid Ryun is scarred for life. Yuki then tells the gang that he only reads manga and never draws it. As such all of them will draw one page each and combine them into a story. Kaname is the only one not on team Yuki but agrees to help anyway. They bounce around ideas including a love story between Kaname and his mom. It is finally decided that they will do a classic hero story. Yuta does the first page and it turns out that he is a gifted manga artist. He draws a beautiful first page with a hero and his two friends. Yuki does the second page…and draws the hero wearing normal clothes going to the convenience store and his two friends are dead. Everyone is like X___X but move on. Shun draws HUGE EYES and sparkles, trying to get the story back on track.

Was Yuki subconsciously trying to destroy the fail? XD

Ryun stops by to check on Yuki’s progress and Chizuru is touched by this older classmate younger classmate scenario. Chizuru decides that he wants to draw a high school drama instead and the story goes downhill. Kaname tries to make the story make some sorta of sense now that the hero got married in half a panel. But it turns out that Kaname really can’t draw and everyone laughs at him. Despite the crazy everyone seems to have had a good time. The episode rewinds to show Ryun’s side of the story. The club actually DOES meet and think that it is so cool that Yuki is a member despite not showing up. They think his contribution will make the magazine sell really well. Ryun has decided that Yuki is his hero and will make a hero manga based on Yuki. But each time he goes to draw Yuki he ends up acting like Yuki…..sadness. Ryun is a little crushed but when Yuki saves Ryun from a soccer ball everything gets better and Ryun has a hero again. YAY DREAMS! The end!

Was this episode about Yuki or was it about Shun? XD Because I was more focused on the crazy that was Shun the entire time.

Clubs doing something? I am shocked too.

I was pretty shocked to learn that the manga/anime club actually DID anything. Then I realized who we were dealing with and I was like oh okay. Maybe the club actually does do things and Yuta assumed since people weren’t there one day it was just a go home early club. I say this because the rest of the club seem to know each other. The girls were in sync with their SO COOLS. So I think there is more to the club that Yuki knows.

But considering he didn’t even want to join a club it doesn’t surprise me he didn’t even try to research what was going on. Silly Yuki.

I think it is slightly sad though that the other club members didn’t get Yuki in line. Or that they think he is cool or something. Yes I know that otaku (any kind of otaku) are looked down in Japan and that Yuki “breaks” the typical mold. I say all that while realizing that while I have met my fair share of stereotypical “weird” anime fans I have met quite a few that are *Gasp* normal. But that being said I guess….I GUESS it would be a positive thing if a “cool kid” was a member of a geek oriented club. And that it makes sense that they let Yuki run wild. I GUESS!

Poor Ryun indeed.

But poor Ryun. For whatever reason he idolize Yuki. Even after all his mangas about Yuki fail because Yuki is NOT a hero….Ryun cannot accept reality. Because Yuki saves him from a rogue soccer ball Ryun wants to cling to all hope that Yuki is a hero. Poor sad first year kid. Aren’t the cool kids supposed to be the ones on the sports teams or something? Not the kid who refuses to join a team and puts minimal effort into everything. Aren’t those the pot head kids?

Shun makes a good girl though.

Despite the fact that Yuki doesn’t deserve to be a hero in any manga…it was sure fun watching Ryun try. He tried. And yet Yuki’s personality is so strong the manga version of Yuki was lazy and beyond unhero like. But instead of making Yuki look like a chump….oh boy Shun. OH BOY! You were the pink power ranger. You were the girl in love with the bad boy. And you were the girl who was almost sold into prostitution. Just….so much sad. So much sad indeed.

I bet you will be super surprised!!!

But something that was more sad is that pathetic story that Yuki turned in to his club. X__X Can we say embarrassed much? I guess that is what the club gets for putting all their eggs in a basket THEY HAVE NEVER TALKED TO. Just….X__X

Of course in Yuki’s defense I can’t draw either. Maybe Yuki overlooked the objective of the club. I might have thought that it was just devoted fans coming together to talk about similar interests. But I can also see how it could be a club about MAKING your own anime/manga. I feel bad for Yuki but…maybe it was his own fault.

Maybe it should have stopped at page one....

That being said Yuta should have drawn all 5 pages. I am not a manga artist but I know it takes an entire MONTH to draw 30 pages and that is with people helping you. Randomly asking a bad artist to draw 5 pages in a such a limited time was never going to happen. How does this relate to Yuta? Because apparently he is awesome and needs to use his talent for good. I guess it makes sense that both twins have super abilities but are too lazy to really use them. Yuta…you are a genius. You took a vague idea and made a beautiful first page.

A fast decline indeed.

Yuki…..you….yeah. That was sad. You should have just made your brother draw something boring so the readers wouldn’t be WEEEE on page one and X__X on page two.

Shun sparkles at all time.

Shun sparkles in everything he does. At least he tried to make the best of a situation. Trying counts for a lot folks.

Someone has the delusions....

I think Chizuru talked a big game and his wasn’t all that great either. Almost like he wanted to incorporate every major manga genre into 5 pages and that was just not going to happen.

X____X He tried folks...

I was not expecting much from Kaname. He said he couldn’t draw, didn’t want to help, and did his best. And people laughing at him will not make him try and better his stick figures. Poor Kaname.

Kitty is not please with this manga.

I loved this episode though. Kaname was a bit meh to start off with but I don’t really blame him. Yuki did want him to do HIS work after all. But the guys came together and had a fun afternoon with silly antics. And the cats were fun too.

But everyone loves Pocky!

See. It only takes me three days to blog one anime episode WEEEE!

Happy Black Friday? Let's get started on Christmas!

Well. I guess I am not going shopping. YAWN!

XD I wasn’t going to go out anyway. I was playing with the idea briefly but I have done almost all my shopping already. Anything I would buy would either be for myself or I would overspend on my Christmas budget. So while I do love my free 50 cents snowglobe from JCPenny there was no other reason to get my happy butt out of bed.

Must resist the sparkles!

But now that I am awake I am going to get much accomplished on this Black Friday. In fact I will rename it Christmas Friday. Getting my house ready for Christmas festivities and what not. So while everyone else is recovering from their marathon shopping ( I hope you all got great deals too and no one ran you over!) I shall try to be an overachiever. Or at least get my butt off this couch. XD


Tenchi’s Huge Impossible List o Black Friday:


Set up at least three Christmas trees. - DONE I meant to say decorate three trees but I am still giving myself credit. I went through and set up ALL the trees and almost all the ornaments are out of the boxes and that takes the longest anyway.

Organize living room to better fit said Christmas Trees.- DONE. Make way for Christmas.

Write at least 12 Christmas cards.- Sorta not DONE. The cards got addressed which is the worse part.

Blog 2 anime episodes.

Put up plushie net and organize the mountain of plushies in guest room.

Vacuum.- DONE. Like three times. Silly trees leaving messes.

Do all the laundry in the house.- Done. And got more hangers so all the shirts can get hung up.

Answer all comments in email.-DONE! Some were so old too. :( Embarrassed it took me this long to answer them all. NEVER AGAIN!

Contact Disney and ask where the heck our refund is.- DONE. Sorta. She said the refund should have already gone through and to remail Monday. Not sure why she couldn't have done it....

Create a song list so the husband can make me a new CD.- Partial DONE. Need more songs.

Order something nendoroidy for next year.- DONE. Yay Sayaka!...What I wanted to complete the set!

Unload and load dishwaher.- DONE! Well until dinner.

Take out all the trash. So much trash for two people. X__X- Almost DONE. For some reason we forgot to do the cat liter.


Too ambitious? Probably. Hopefully I can knock out a huge chuck of this though and have the entire house Christmasy before Monday. Yay for goals. Hope everyone has a safe and eventful day too.


And I am calling it a day. The plushie net was fail as it fell down after I put 10 plushies in it. And my brother came over with his girlfriend and byebye went anime blogging time. But I think a lot got accomplished today. Time for sleep.

Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 7

Happy Turkey Day! This was meant to be posted after/before the parade but I think I lost my mind. I forgot I needed to WATCH the parade and since I do that by flipping through two channels….well that did not happen. Or maybe I play too many Facebook games.

But yes Happy Thanksgiving. I am toying with the idea on going out tomorrow. I say tomorrow because I am not supporting this insanity of shopping on Thursday. I guess if people WANT to work on Thursday and earn overtime that is fine. But that is usually not the case. So I will wait like a normal person and go out at 4 am to get a free 50 cent snow globe. Or I will sleep.

Come with me if you want leftovers and after Thanksgiving sales.

So let’s see if I can finally get this episode blogged before episode 8 comes out. X___X YES! We can get Shakugan no Shana Season Three episode 7 blogged in two hours. Yes we can. Spoilers for….er….I think I forgot what happened in this episode.

Shana....you is so silly. XD

Episode Summary: Shana is like WTF is going on?! Hecate has decided that Shana’s stay at Case de YujiSnake is up and Shana has to leave. In pieces. Hecate explains that Bel Peol and Sydonay have their own reasons for wanting Shana gone. Hecate pretends she isn’t jealous of Shana and proceeds to chase her down the castle. YujiSnake was outside marveling at Hecate’s work when he notices (through Shana’s quick actions) that hey the building is being blown up. He saves Shana from being squished and Hecate explains why she thinks Shana should die. YujiSnake is like yes part of the reason Shana is alive is that Yuji has the hots for her. But as long as she is alive they have control Alastor. This convinces Hecate, Bel Peol, and Sydonay not to kill Shana just yet. Kazumi and Ogata walk home from school and Ogata talks about how all the gang is all split and it is sad. But soon they will all be together again and it will be fine. Kazumi is like hmmm because she knows the truth.

The thought of monsters having a drink is a little amusing.

Kazumi is walking along thinking how crappy things are when she runs into Khamsin. She asks him what is up with the treasure around her neck and why she might die if she uses it. Khamsin then tells her a story about a Prince and a monster having to depend on each other as they were their only reason for living. That is love and maybe that will happen to Kazumi. HMMM! There is some action at Baddie central, with the old dude talking about the spell being weird and Sydonay drinking with his troops. A little boring. YujiSnake goes to fetch Shana who is looking beautiful in her new dress. YujiSnake compliments her on her outfit and they walk all dramatic like to the top of the stair case. Yuji and Snake take turns talking and explaining what is about to happen, that YujiSnake is going to travel to the Abyss to retrieve his body. Shana wants to know what will happen to Yuji but apparently things will work out. YujiSnake goes outside to tell his troops to work hard and he flies into the Abyss thingy with his number one minions. THE END!

So very little action in this episode. But I guess Satou had enough action last week to make up for everyone’s lack of action this week? Lots of explosions on his head. Well I guess Shana had a bit of excitement. She was minding her own business at Resort De Kidnapped and Hecate has to come and ruin her towels made into stuffed animals. Her nice fluffy bed with the mints under the table are blowed to pieces. Oh and Shana almost died. What a rude hostess.

This isn't what it looks like!

But I think Hecate makes sense. With her crazy lie about why she wanted to kill Shana and all. She is doing this because Shana is dangerous! We can’t be having a powerful Flame Haze in our midst. She might steal back her Crimson Lord and torch our butts. We have to protect ourselves. Put aside any feelings I had for Yuji. Silly thoughts. I am just thinking from a logical point of view. This has nothing to do with my jealous feelings.

Looking a little crazy there YujiSnake.

And then YujiSnake came up with an even more convincing lie. Well at least he acknowledge that yes Shana is alive so Yuji can be all happy and in love and pretend to be in control of the situation. But YujiSnake was like check this out. If we keep Shana alive Alastor is contained in this form. But if she dies he will go out and find a new Flame Haze and kick our asses. See we have to keep her here and now that I have told you this plan no one can kill her while I am gone. Brilliant!

Looks like Hecate is doing most of the work here.

Bel Peol and Sydonay were pretty shady though. They wanted Shana out of the way too but only gossiped to Hecate about it. Probably planted ideas in her head. So in case Hecate got caught they were like oh snap what do you mean Shana almost died? But in the end YujiSnake thought that Hecate was loyal for thinking the way she did so HAHA crazies.

I am an angry hottie!

But Shana looked rather lovely in her new outfit yes? I love how she felt the need to do her hair in a different way now that she was wearing a party dress. Sure she might be captured but that is no reason not to look one’s best. Okay it was unnecessary but she did look super cute.

Ah yes. In one instant all this was able to happen so YujiSnake could form a plan 12890182 years later.

I am not sure I was following ALL the words YujiSnake was saying in regards to getting his body back. Like who made the spell and what exactly the Abyss is. But I guess I will just break it down simply in my mind. Mr. Snake was almost banished into the Abyss but he managed to pull a small part of himself away and has spent the last 234873275 years trying to get back to that place and he has finally succeeded YAY!? I think that was about it anyway.

BoringVille BLAH!

I find Kazumi boring. It has nothing to do with her being the third wheel on this love triangle. Or maybe it does. She is even drawn boring. Just bleh. Her personality is bleh. Her ability to do anything is bleh. And her talking is bleh. When Kazumi is on my screen I feel bleh.

At least the sad story had pretty pictures?

I remember her receiving a treasure in the last season but I forgot what it was. Or rather why she would die if she used it. I am still not quite sure what it does but Khamsin tried to give some light on the situation. With a fun story. I had assumed Khamsin was talking about himself in this story but since he is still alive I am guessing that is not the case. But it was a sad story. I am not sure I would describe that as a LOVE story but I can see how the monster and the Prince needed each other, that they existed because the other was aware of them.

Quite frankly I don't know why she give you that. Maybe she should have tried asking more questions silly.

So what was Khamsin trying to tell Kazumi? That maybe she won’t DIE when she uses the treasure. But maybe she will no longer exist to Yuji. And that would be like dying for Kazumi. There seems to be a lot of rules and what not with this treasure. I am sure Kazumi will end up using whatever it is and she will live. Anticlimactic and what not.

That looks very safe indeed.

So at the end of the episode YujiSnake, Hecate, Bel Peol, and Sydonay go and talk to their troops. They are explaining their plan to fly into the big hole in the wall and how the nobodies need to stay behind and guard the place. Not sure how they knew a fight was coming their way since nothing has happened yet. Guess all the Flame Haze’s were gathering on the other side. Shana seems to think they are in deep trouble.

How AntiHero of you to say.

Is it battle time? I am curious to see what happens to the Yuji body when Snake Face gets his body back. And will Shana wear that cute dress the rest of the series? I support that fashion decision!

Happy Turkey Day!

Well it's that time of year again. The time where you arm yourself with your coffee and a game plan. A plan to take out other shoppers and race through the streets as fast as possible. The time of year where you max out your credit cards. WEEE! It's Black Friday!!

Wait? It's Thanksgiving?! That pesky little holiday that gets in the way off that shopping? HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Happy Parade Day!!!!

Kidding kidding. Or maybe not. I do feel thankful that I am not in the retail world this year. I remember having to get TO Kohls at 3 am on Black Friday and I wanted to kill everything. I can't imagine having to work ON Thanksgiving. It truly is a shame, especially those who flew in to see their family. I hope all retail workers are able to have a good albiet short Thanksgiving. Be safe tomorrow. Be safe.

SO yes. Today is Thanksgiving! A time for eating tons of food and watching parades and spending time with family. A time that you sit around the table and talk about what you are thankful for this year. And also a time to dodge X__X family members and fall asleep on couches.

This year I am thankful for my health. It is so easy to take things for granted and I am grateful I don't have to worry about maneuvering through crowds with a wheelchair or counting all my pennies paying for hospital bills. Things can happen in an instant and I am grateful for my health. And the relative good health of most of my family.

I am grateful for my husband. He puts up with a lot of my crazy antics and sorta levels me out. He is my pack mule, camera man, spell checker (because yes folks it could be worse! XD), my chef, my trash man, and most importantly my best friend.

I am grateful for the travel opportunities I have had this year. Seems like I was jetting around all over the place. And at no point was my luggage lost! I could have done without all the "random" pat downs though...

I am grateful for all my loyal readers. Sometimes my blog posts are late or make no sense but it really makes me happy that people read and respond to my crazy posts. Thank you so much and I hope all of you have a good Holiday if you celebrate it. If you don't...have some pumpkin pie anyway. It is delicious.

While I am typing this I am watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. From the comfort of my own home of course. I don't think I could live in New York (well afford it either....) but even if I did it looks WAY too cold outside. So I shall watch from here and enjoy the MANY shows and floats. Here are a few special pictures I took from the couch! Yay parades yes?

See? Much better than being outside. Pass the turkey please.

The nuns, they sparkle.

Love the hat but the chemistry between these two hosts was way off.

One of the more special performances.

Thank you Macy's. No one your stuff is so expensive, you got to put on this parade every year!!!

MOG I saw Toy Story 3 last Thanksgiving and nearly cried. X___X

I remember the old school Sonic games.

Is he going to smash into the walls or something?

I think this entire parade was sponsored by the dough boy!

I don't think I have ever seen this float before. YAY MICKEY!

Husband loves the Snoopy!!!

Pikachu learns FLY!

I've never seen this float before. Pretty cool Mr. Peanut.

Favorite float EVER! Yay Hello Kitty!

Thought this elf was pretty cute.

And then Thanksgiving was over. THE END!
