No. 6 episode 8: Nezumi is a fairy.

BEHOLD! I have not one but TWO pieces of giant cake. And I got to go to work today. Go me folks. Go me. 3 months I was livin it up in Japan and now I am happy that I was ALLOWED to go to work today. LE SIGH!

Also I hope everyone is safe and hiding from the hurricane that is trying wipe New Jersey off the map. I could make a joke about God and the Jersey Shore but I am sure that would be in bad taste. I just pray for those already affected and that the damage remains as minimal as possible. When someone says get out GO! It is not worth staying and saving money of hotels,travel, ect.! Go!

Sadly no mention of the kiss in this episode. Also no new kisses. :(

But if you are out of the danger zone and need something to read have no fear! No. 6 episode 8 is up and subbed! Spoilers for….WTFness!

That was my first guess too. Parasite bee that busts randomly out of people and try to nom their souls. Exactly.

Episode Summary: Nezumi and Sion make their way to a huge crater in the middle of nowhere. Nezumi warns Sion they are about to be captured and to let it happen. They are taken inside a huge cave with people watching. An old dude is brought before them and asks why Nezumi he has returned. Nezumi proceeds to show the old dude the picture Rikiga gave him. Rikiga is in the picture as well as Karan, people who helped found No. 6. And in the center is the old dude. GASP! Sion is like wtf is going on and the old dude demands that he strip. After being shown the weird marks on Sion the old dude is like ah I see parasite bees. There is a brief scene of Safu trying to wake up but being stuck in a dream with Sion. People above her are talking about how Safu might be a successful sample and all will be well. But Safu starts to hear a song and goes AHHHHHH. Nezumi hears the same song and nearly passes out. The old dude tells Nezumi to sing the song and he does. It is very sparkly. No really the water and the rocks all sparkle over the song. Sion is concerned over Nezumi’s health and demands answers from the old dude, even if the answers shock him. The old dude is like….Elyurias.

Bring on the sparkles!!!!!

Yoming takes Karan home and at the same time Yoming and the Old Dude explain the past and creation of No. 6. All the people in that picture helped to create No. 6, it being one of six places left after war where people could live safely. But soon some of the creators had a bit of the evil in them and wanted to control all the people. Yoming starts talking about how No. 6 took his wife and son and he is apart of a group to go up against No. 6 elites. Karan is like OH CRAP what to do. Old Dude takes it a step further. He found a beautiful forest area home to FAIRIES and head FAIRY Elyurias was beyond awesome in her sparkles and what not. Old Dude studied her power and for that No. 6 cast him out (with tons of other people). Soon after No. 6 came to destroy the fairy village and take Elyurias’s powers. Everyone was destroyed except Nezumi. Sion is like NO WAY you are a forest person?! Nezumi is like even though I am a forest person I have never seen Elyurias. The Old dude says well you hear her song and if you destroy No. 6 you will be no better than them. The Old dude then gives Sion all the information necessary to save Safu once she is rescued. He also reveals he was the first survivor of bee-itis. Yoming leaves Karan asking her to join the cause. Sion and Nezumi leave the cave people resolved to save Safu. When they return home DogWatcher and Rikiga are there too. After some talking they all agree to at least save Safu and maybe take down No. 6 too. Karan receives a note from Sion saying BYE MOM GONNA DIE NOW! The end!

X_____X

Nezumi is the last survivor of....what?

Do…what…what? What did I just watch? I mean I thought I was watching a Sci-Fi type show with an evil city and two boys (in love) trying to make their way in a cruel world that has been dominated by No. 6. But now I get fairy people of the forest.
People. Of the forest.

Wait forest people?! X__X

So now I see why Nezumi didn’t want to tell Sion this sad story. It is one thing to think that killer bees are coming out of people and that No. 6 might be evil enough to cause it. It is another thing to believe in tree people of the forest, some crazy fairy god, and that Nezumi can sing a song that makes water sparkle. SPARKLE FOLKS!

This is all making sense. Nezumi wanted to make sure that Sion really, REALLY liked him before unleashing the crazy upon him. Got a kiss? Guess he can handle the truth. If not at least I got a kiss out of the deal.

At least No. 6 is good at surprising people. I thought hey the people in charge of crazy town are trying to control people with bees. Turns out Princess of the Tree People has inflicted her bee children into those who benefits from her/her children’s destruction. Did not see that one coming so good job No. 6. Good job.

Forest people?!

I don’t think I have quite vocalized how X___X I am about this whole situation. I mean….I guess I did ask for something more than Nezumi being captured and that is the whole reason for his hatred for No. 6. I did ask that. I just didn’t think he would be the last survivor from Fern Gully. I didn’t. And since Safu can hear this random song too I am just going to assume for the sake of crazy that they are really TWINS and feel drawn to Sion because he alone can help repopulate their race. Because at this point male pregnancy would be the least weird thing about what is going on.

I am a little surprised on how new No. 6 really is. From the way grandma was talking I assumed that all these tough times were in the deep past, not like….16 years ago. Okay maybe more than 16 years ago but Sion’s momma is looking pretty good so I am assuming it hasn’t been TOO TOO LONG. In any event most of the people alive would remember the old times and such. Really this reign of power No. 6 has is recent and I am surprised that more people haven’t rebelled seeing as they have known other ways of life and surely can see through the lies.

AHA! It all makes sense now!

But I guess after living through multiple and devastating wars people might be okay with being ruled by people in the shadows so they can have a chance to live. But as we have seen a lot of people are living on the outside. Not as nicely but they are free and don’t have to constantly worry about talking badly about the city. Well not until next week when a bulldozer runs them down.

So the real problem I have with the fairy of the forest crap is simple. Mr Old Wise dude said there were only 6 places on Earth that they could establish cities. So…..when these all powerful people were looking to rebuild civilization they MISSED the forest people? No one knew of the forest people BEFORE the great wars? I mean…yes this is an unbelievable show with crazy stuff but some stuff just needs to make sense. You can’t say these were the ONLY places to live on Earth when we got a village of fairy folk close enough to study. That is just too much crazy for me.

Can you fly Nezumi? CAN YOU FLY?!

And yes Nezumi is a fairy. He sang and the water sparkled. That makes him a special little glow worm. Maybe next time No. 6 has the last survivor of the fairy race they shouldn’t shoot him with guns and such. He might better off to you alive. Not as shark bait. Perhaps if everyone left the fairy people alone they could have sang their little songs and brought the world back to life.

Had to kill grandma so they could get Safu without making people wonder.

Or maybe not. But No. 6 could have kept on trucking and not have to worry about killer bees. But now they have to use the best of the best (AKA Safu) to find a cure. Given the rate that they get rid of people that know too much I would say they need all the elites they have left. After all someone has to create new toys and lovelies to distract the masses from the evil that is the powers that bee. HAHA!

You are hugging the person who helped create No. 6. Obviously you missed something with your research.

As a side not I wonder why No 6. (well some of the people in power) acted the way they did. If they didn’t kidnap people all the time no one would be forming groups to go up against them. They created a city for people to live in and basically held all the power. If people were talking smack why not give them more? Or at least with your all powerful awesomeness create a forgetful ray like in Men In Black. What is good being in power when there are only 5 other cities in the world and apparently none of them are as crazy as you? Sorta like WOOHOO I want to rule the world but if no one is left who really cares? I think this paragraph made more sense in my head. Just I don’t see why No. 6 would turn against its own people and why the people would allow this to happen.

Can I go back to 5 minutes ago when there weren't forest people? Please?

So I think it is safe to say that no. 6 is full of creepos and the other cities are not affected by the bees because they did not kill the fairy folk. But that still does not explain why No.6 allows contact with other cities. Why not just lie and say they are the only ones left? Why let them see what non crazy looks like? Wouldn’t that make people want to rebel even more?

I really thought Karan was going to get up and stab Yoming in the face. I mean…we got fairy people now. Karan is one of the founders of the city. Anything is possible.

But it seems that Karan is not a bad guy. Just really, really dumb. Or maybe she is just out of the loop. I don’t know what kind of falling out she had with the other founders but 4 years ago she was lalaing around the house and now she is okay working in a bakery. One would think they (the evil founders) would have tried to take out Karan and raise their genius son to be awesome. The old dude was run off so why is Karan allowed to live a semi okay life?

Oh and Nezumi sung nice. With the sparkles.

Let's do this! Pay no attention to the previews where things end horribly!

So after all the glowing water, fairy songs, and killer bees the gang regroups. DogWatcher and Rikiga are down for saving Safu and bringing No. 6 down. Which is good for us. If Rikiga is with our gang that means if someone kicks it will be him. XD Because people over the age of 20 are always up to be sacrificed in the name of young love. Especially when they feel overprotective anyway.

Fairy people. Of the forest.

Fall 2011 Anime Line-Up!

Hello there readers!!! I am awake. On my random FORCED day off I….went back to bed and hated the world. XD So much was accomplished. Well and I made a doctor’s appointment because according my calendar it has been an entire year since I last saw her so yeah. Apparently when making doctor’s appointments you need to call a month in advance. If you call three weeks in advance everything is booked up. Crazy people knowing their schedules so much in advance.

So now we are sitting here chillin and watching the English language be butchered by people on Big Brother. I am sure I wouldn’t fare any better but I am not on TV now am I? XD Go me.

Ready for the leaves to change color? Wait what leaves? XD

Since I am sitting here doing nothing and we are getting close to double digits on the Summer Anime Line-up I thought I would mosey on over to the internets and see what is coming up soon. Some of these synopsizes (?) are more in depth than others so tiny spoilers I guess? Well since that one is a prequel spoilers are obvious I guess. JUST IN CASE!


Fate/Zero

Bring on the prequels!!!

Synopsis: Fate/zero takes place 10 years prior to the events of Fate/stay night, detailing the events of the 4th Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. The War of the Holy Grail is a contest in which seven magi summon seven Heroic Spirits to compete to obtain the power of the "Holy Grail," which grants a miracle. After three inconclusive wars for the elusive Holy Grail, the Fourth War commences.

Founded by the Einzbern, Matō, and Tōsaka families centuries ago, the Einzbern family is determined to achieve success after three successive failures, no matter the cost. As a result, they have elected to bring the hated magus killer, Kiritsugu Emiya, into their ranks, despite his methods and reputation as a skilled mercenary and a hitman who employs whatever he can use to accomplish his goals. Though Kiritsugu had once wanted to become a hero who could save everyone, he has long since abandoned this ideal upon realizing that saving one person comes at the cost of another's life. For the sake of humanity, he will ruthlessly destroy anything and anyone who threatens the peace of others.

However, Kiritsugu finds himself deeply torn between the love he has found for his new family - his wife Irisviel and their daughter Illya - and what he must do to obtain the Holy Grail. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu's greatest opponent appears in the form of Kirei Kotomine, a priest who cannot find any sense of fulfillment in his life and sets his sights on Kiritsugu as the possible answer to the emptiness he feels.

Air Date: October 2011….

As I posted yesterday I love Saber so I watched Fate/Stay Night. But now that this is a prequel I wonder if I will like the series just the same. We already know the outcome but maybe it will be interesting to see the “parents” as it were going at it and how they passed their values on to their children. It will be a different experience I am sure. Plus I have forgotten a lot of the Fate/Stay Night series so no matter what some of it will be new to me. XD

But I will miss Saber. Well more accurately I will miss the Saber I know and her interactions with Shiro.


Guilty Crown

So many viruses destroying the world...

Synopsis- The story takes place in Tokyo in 2039. After the outbreak of the unidentified virus "Lost Christmas" in 2029, Japan has been under the control of a multinational organization called GHQ. Ohma Shu is a 17 year old boy who has a psychic power in his right hand. He can use the power "Ability of King" to extract tools or weapons from his friends. He has been avoiding making trouble for others but his life changes when he meets a girl named Yuzuriha Inori, a member of a resistance guerrilla group called "Undertaker", whose members pilot mecha weapons to fight against the government.

-taken from MyAnimeList

Air Date: October 2011

Does anyone have exact dates up in this internet? XD Or am I use to posting later when the dates are available?

I think the concept of pulling weapons out of people might be fun. Obviously weird from the pulley but still. Fun. We have the potential for zombies too. But that is me reading too much into the virus thing. Maybe it just killed everyone…on Christmas. Still society sounds like it is a mess and people are unhappy. And we got mechas. Don’t want too many mechas so maybe I will give this a chance. Yay young people going up against the government. Just hope the psychic power is explained at some point. XD


Kimi To Boku

Just a bunch of guys...having a sleep over....

Synopsis- The story revolves around four teens — the good-looking twins Yuuta and Yuuki Asaba, the effeminate Shun Matsuoka, and the class head Kaname Tsukahara — who have known each other since early childhood. While they are not necessarily good or bad friends, they continue to hang out well into high school. The half-Japanese transfer student Chizuru Tachibana joins the circle of friends in this comedy about the everyday life of adolescence.

-taken from MyAnimeList

Air Date: October 2011 REALLY?! I AM SHOCKED!!!

Putting my yaoi colored glasses aside I am interested in where this could go. Can we have a slice of life show with all boys and them remain friends OR will it turn into a yaoi free for all? I mean I am up for shipping characters after the fact but I would like the series to be about friends and not crazy over the top yaoi antics. Am I making any sense? Probably not. But since Shun is already being labeled effeminate I am assuming there are going to be some yaoi undertones.

So I shall see. Which is weird because I should be all over this yes? I suppose if there were tons of shows about just guys hanging out I would be YEAH bring on the yaoi. But since this concept seems…NEW to me I would like to see it done as just friends, like K-On!!, having fun and not exchanging bodily fluids. Well in the show anyway. XD Fanfics woohoo!!!

X__X Did any of that make sense?

Three times the charm?

Shakugan No Shana III


Synopsis- Third and final season about an ordinary boy named Yuji and how his life changed after meeting a Flame Haze named Shana. After meeting Shana Yuji learns secrets about the world, that he is already DEAD, and that everything around him is about ready to change forever. Despite pretending to be a hard jaded girl Shana sticks around to protect the Torch Yuji from random danger that pops up.

-made up by me and it shows XD

I watched the first two seasons so I will sign up for the third. However I thought the first season was a lot better than the second. Too much focus on building Yuji a harem and not enough of Shana being a butt kicker. Hopefully they go back to the formula of season one. That might not be possible as a certain girl in Yuji’s life will have her own I MIGHT DISAPPEAR drama going on but hopefully Yuji will REMEMBER picking Shana on Christmas. I can hope anyway.


Mirai Nikki (Future Diary)

Who knew paper could be so deadly?

Synopsis- Yukiteru always rejected any offers to go with friends and just keeps writing a diary on his cell phone. He has what he believes is an imaginary friend called Deus Ex Machina. However, one day Deus asks him to play a survival game along with eleven others. The winner becomes the next Deus Ex Machina. In order to win, the contestants must use their diaries of the future to eliminate one another. For Yukiteru to survive, he must team up with another diary holder, a girl named Yuno.

Each player is assigned a number based on the order that Deus modified his or her diary. The diaries begin to record the future in the same manner their future selves would have written down events, with some even being able to influence the beings whose future they divulge to the owner; the only exception to this rule is when the holder reaches a Dead End, a time when their lives would be finished without significant intervention. Each diary varies in its properties and functions depending on the owner's personality, occupation and lifestyle and they all have their shortcomings. The diaries can be used without the owner's consent should they fall into another's hands. Since the diaries are written from the perspective of the owner's future self, the future can still be misinterpreted and thus the entries can become inaccurate. In addition to killing someone through normal means, if a diary is destroyed or broken, the owner also dies.

-taken from Wikipedia

Since I was getting up there on the animes I had to make a decision between this show and Persona 4. Since I am not really familiar with the games I decided to go with Future Diary. Because I am a sheep. MOOOOOOO!

But yes. I will try to blog 5 animes this season. If I like them all of course. Future Diary sounds a little bit like Death Note but not exactly. Sounds like the man dude is already halfway to crazy with his imaginary friend deal. But I think I like the concept of misinterpreting your own version of events written by a future you. I am sure all the participates will join in this battle thing without knowing all the rules and Kyubey will appear at the end killing them all. Good times good times.

So I think that is about it. Unless something magical and new comes out or someone blogs about a show not on my list and I find out it is awesome. But for now that is my list. And they ALL start in October. Shocker. XD So here is to a busy Fall Season? Good thing I didn’t try this many shows in Spring/Summer. Hopefully all the shows on people’s must watch lists are awesome. But….if not hopefully they are awesomely bad so we can snark them together. XD

Kamisama Dolls episode 8

Oh? Am I at home posting this episode instead of driving around at work? I wonder why. Could it be that I work with EVIL TROLLS that always get their way? Oh yes that is exactly what happened. Whatever. WHATEVER.

There is a lot of anger in my heart. Tons. But since it is raining cats and dogs maybe it is for the best. Just now on another “day off” not much is getting done since I am trapped in the house. Hopefully the power does not go out or I will be bored out of my mind. X__X

So many cosplay cafes already in Japan X__X

To put aside the anger I will focus on Kamisama Dolls episode 8. People with anger issues as well. Spoilers for rain and library books.


Episode Summary: Utao tries practicing her big sister smile so she can win over her crazy little twin brother. The next day Utao, Kyouhei, and Shiba leave the village. We find out dad is still a jerk and mom is an alcoholic. While leaving Utao spots Kirio and goes to talk to him. Only she can’t smile to save her life and Kirio teases her. Ah siblings. Once they arrive back at the city Shiba’s father suggest they go to the beach to visit his friend. Because they just didn’t go on vacation or anything. Utao is excited to see the beach and dreams happy dreams. Only she gets there and Irene has already made landfall. Sad faces for all. The rooms they are staying start to leak so Shiba and Kyouhei go downstairs to tell the owner. Only half the building collapses on the dude. Shiba has to retrieve Utao from the bath and crazy antics happen from that point on. They eventually save the dude and manage to turn the power back on due to the god doll. The next day all is well so Utao is allowed to see the beach instead of using her god doll to repair the house. Oh okay. Back in the city Kuuko’s dad is talking about investigating Kyouhei in connections to the god dolls. HMMM people.

I hate it when rain ruins awesome vacations. :(

Once back in town Shiba and Utao take up their normal jobs at the restaurant. They are sent on a mission to return library books and with Kyouhei running the show business dwindles. Kyouhei thinks to himself the real reason he stopped being a Seki was because he was afraid of turning into Aki. Shiba decides to read a magazine but instead runs into Aki. Things actually start off okay with Aki not killing her and Shiba talking. But then she brings up Dead Teacher one too many times and says Aki should not involve Kyouhei in his petty problems. Then Aki is like oh is you important to Kyouhei because maybe I should kill you. He also talks that there is darkness inside of Kyouhei and Shiba needs to start worrying about herself. Utao shows up before Shiba is harmed and Aki agrees to go outside to battle. As they fight outside Aki says the god dolls only exist to harm and destroy. Utao gets upset and loses concentration. Aki eventually leaves and the girls return home. Shiba is upset over all the god doll crap and Kyouhei tries to comfort her. Utao starts beating him up but is really worried about why the god dolls exist. Kyouhei tries to calm them both down. Kirio arrives back in Tokyo ready to rumble. Alone in a park Aki thinks to himself if this is the life his god doll really wants. THE END!

So after last week’s episode the writers decide our “heroes” needed a day at the beach? Lame. Describes this episode pretty well.

Very impressed with Utao's smile. XD

I am still rolling my eyes over the advice Utao received a few weeks ago. In case people don’t remember her new twin brother Kirio tried to kill her. Well he was just going to attack her and when Utao got pissed Kirio went a little crazy and went on the offensive. Not that I blame Utao. And I sorta understand why Kirio did that. He has been brought up to be crazy but the person he should be attacking is the old dude with the cane, not his sister who is innocent in all of this.

Maybe if they were both boys they could punch it out. But Utao is a girl and we don't take kindly be being almost blown up.

My point is the smiling thing was weird and dumb. Koushiro you are my home dog in this village/story full of crazy people. But you were trying to push the twins together and that was a big no. No no and no. Way too soon or maybe not possible at all. Just no. Like hello I just said last post I would love to have a twin brother. But if the first moment I saw him he tried to kill me with a rocket launcher I would not run to him with open arms. No folks.

Who cares that I fathered three kids into this crazy village? I don't.

Of course the real villain in ALL OF THIS is the father. Mr. Looking at the window not caring he has another kid out there. But since he doesn’t care about ANY of his kids and we got crazy with a stick raising on kid how can we expect any of these siblings to function normally?

Someone bounces back fast...

So our “heroes” get back from the village and TADA Shiba’s dad is like oh hi my friend is opening a resort on the beach wanna go? Because apparently we are all stupid and don’t remember that Kyouhei was having a hard time taking off to go to the village. Obviously he has enough free time from school and nonexistent work to go play more. Okay folks. Okay.

Look how amazing these flying creatures are!!!

After the brutal episode last week I thought it was weird and out of place to show such a happy trip. Well potentially happy trip as it rained the whole time. I just think there were better ways to show how helpful a god doll could be. I mean…I was expecting the god doll to help rebuild the wall or something. But it just really all seemed out of place.

Why is he important again?

Another thing that seems out of place is Kuuko’s cop dad. He now admits that he was not allowed in the village for whatever reason. Not sure which case he could be talking about since if he was not allowed in he would not know about the mass murders. In any event he is following Kyouhei and crew because Kyouhei’s apartment blew up? And they were there during the god dolls in the street? I am mean granted he is RIGHT but not for any reasons that make sense to me. More like a lucky guess and he is going to be praised for being so observant. More like a stretch to me and with all the other plot points going on I don’t think it is necessary to include this Tokyo cop trying to figure out the village.

You mean my only friend in the world who knew the truth and didn't back me up? Why am I involving him?

I thought Aki’s interaction with Shiba in the library went well. Wonder if he was reading Serial Killers: Misunderstood lambs or kill lions? But anyway he was like….oh hi. It was Shiba who kept bring up Dead Teacher. She was just told the story of woe and yet she still wasn’t fully on Aki’s side. Maybe she needs to rewatch that episode or something. But she is questioning why Aki was involving Kyouhei. UM BECAUSE HE WAS INVOLVED! Is she really that stupid?

See how nice Aki is? Didn't even kill Shiba.

I am very confused about Aki’s character though. If he killed that dude in the elevator why wouldn’t he want to attack Utao in a library? Unless elevator dude was somehow related to the village and Aki was still enacting his revenge. Of course people who have been made into crazy killers might be CRAZY and hard to read so I don’t know.

Poor Aki. Me thinks that Kirio is well on his way to CrazyVille too.

I don’t know if Aki was being cruel to Utao or being honest. Maybe all he HAS seen with god dolls is death and destruction. Maybe he was not raised to see the good they could use. Given the fact that Kirio has been raised to Seki-ize the most powerful god doll ever and god dolls seem to react to strong emotions Aki might not be too off base. Granted if you are fuzzy bunny raised in light and love you can give light and love. But so far I am only seeing violence and destruction and Aki being honest about his experiences is not what I call cruel.

Maybe Aki went a little too far with what he said to Shiba about Kyouhei. But since Kyouhei has the same worries maybe it is not so off base. I just don’t think Aki should involve Shiba just because his…..”love interest” was killed off. Keep it in the family/between the people it involved. And if Shiba didn’t already have bad feelings about this whole god doll thing she is dumb. Really dumb. For real.

Just leave it at this and stop making Kyouhei a clumsy fool.

I think the ending could have been stronger if there wasn’t yet another “misunderstanding” between Shiba and Kyouhei. Why couldn’t Utao do her hitting/crying thing and leave Shiba alone in her room to be frustrated? It was not the time to be handing out fanservice. But at least the very last scene was with Aki questioning what his god doll wants to be? Despite his….killing sprees and random attacks he seems to care deeply for his god doll which makes me doubt the rumors he killed animals even more.

Maybe instead of continuing the cycle of violence I could...change?...Nah.

And that is about it. Kirio is going to make it back in town to annoying Utao some more but it looks like he has to wait in line as Mr. Cop is there to question people on why they are all suspicious and stuff. Hopefully next week the pace gets picked up a little. I feel as if there is no real direction with this show and too many plot points are cluttering up the story. Pick a few and make them good. Hopefully they involve killing the old dude with the cane. See ya next week!

Oh Hi Nendoroid Saber Super Moveable Edition

Welcome to another exciting post of Tenchi's House Looks like a Toy Store. I have been doing some counting and apparently I need to get my butt in gear. If I don't want to bog my blog down with 5748 nendoroid posts a week before Anime Weekend Atlanta now is the time to start posting 2 a week.

X__X Why does it both seem like forever and yesterday that I went to Japan and picked up all those lovelies? I can't wait to go back but sadly the funds of zero dollars might be hampering that trip slightly. Also you can't go on a trip of a lifetime every year. XD So I will cling to all my memories, pictures, and souvenirs while going through every day normal life.

SUPER MOVEABLE! So says the box.

Up now is one of my cheapest finds on my entire nendoroid journey! Why Hello there Saber. Exactly how many nendoroids do I need of you before I reach my limit?

I love Saber a lot. I really do. One of my very first nendoroids was of her, before I knew where the heck she came from or really what her name was. All I knew is cute girl riding an animal= cute! But soon I found out she came from Fate/Stay Night and I watched the anime. Perhaps if I played the games I would appreciate her different outfits more but hey cute is cute right?

Behold all the swords!!! Now I do love Saber but since I already have two versions of her she wasn't SUPER high on my must have list. The reason that Saber made it into our many bags and eventually a suitcase was because I found her for the low, LOW price of 2,000 yen. X____X I have never paid so little for a nendoroid in my life. I was like....is this for real? Are you bootlegged? Let me pick you up and examine you about 47387 times. But the store had three of them and all looked legit. So despite the fact I said 1 hour earlier that I wasn't buying anything that day Saber went straight into my hands. Ding, another hit on my wallet.

Basic version of Saber. I think a lot of the newer nendoroids are going to come with these new stands. I guess it is to help make better poses and such. That and it seems easier to make the nendoroid stand steady. But this isn't just another version of Saber. No no folks she really is SUPER MOVEABLE!

Oh snap an up-skirt shot on this blog? XD No. Just trying to show you how Super Moveable Saber really is. Basically her skirt is very flexible plastic, to the point where it is not really a skirt but almost a fan. And her legs aren't normal legs either, which makes them easier to bend and move around.

Better picture showing how fanned out the skirt can be. This way Saber can really take a battle pose in a more natural way. Cute yes?

Better picture of the leg. To get the full of poses a full leg wouldn't work so we got is a sorta stump type deal. They are much easier to get off the frame but that means they fall off a lot easier too. Or maybe I am just a weak girl who doesn't want to damage the figurines so I don't push hard enough. XD

Saber is well known for her swords and as such her extra pieces make it easier for her to hold the swords and sheaths. I actually like the poses where she is just holding the sheaths and not ready for action. Makes her look more regal like.

View from the side. Her hands do look a little silly but I don't know how else they could make them look while staying within the realm of the outfit and being able to hold the sheath.

View from behind. I absolutely love Saber's hair. Simple in the front and battle ready/cute in the back. A true warrior but still a girl at heart.

But don't mess with Saber. She comes with a few other faces and one of them is of a crazed demon who has just been told the rum AND Code Red is gone. Approach at your own risk.

I think Saber's outstretched fingers look a little more detailed than her fisted hands. Still I wouldn't want to mess with that.

View from the side. She gonna go gangsta on you or something.

The way Saber is holding that sword makes it look like she is offering us a bite of some ice cream. Have a lick or DIE!!

Ah there is a better picture of the sword. Now we can see it is a weapon and not a delicious treat. It looks like she is pointing and saying yeah, that is my sword. Wanna do something about it?

Time to power up the sword. She is summoning the ice cream gods I think.

Last picture for this post. I should have moved her skirt slightly over but I really like this pose and picture. Her sorta smile face is cute too. Hard to decide. But I am super happy with my purchase. And what a deal I got with her too! Saber happily takes her spot in the case with the other nendoroids. Not sure how many more Sabers I can talk myself into buying but if a cute one comes out at the right price I will probably buy her. For now...fight on!! XD

Yuri Yuri episode 8

X__X I always make such grand plans to get so much done on my days off. But when they come around I tend to…sit in front of the TV and computer. I guess when I work I come home and do chores. Then when my days off come around I don’t want to do anything. I guess going to the bank will have to happen next week. Next week XD I tend to say that a lot.

But despite the fact my butt has not moved from this couch I did get something MAJOR done. XO All past comments have been responded too! Went through my entire inbox and found things that had been lost/forgotten/put in spam and responded. Never again the unresponded comment times. I will make every effort now to respond in a super timely manner and I apologize to anyone who got a super late response. I do love comments on my blog and it is only right that I manage my time better to comment back.

Nope. You now have to work with me at Mike's Awesome Pizza Place. XD Enjoy.

Up now is Yuri Yuri episode 8. It is time for secrets galore and goofy faces ya’ll!!!!!

What do you mean we aren't in this episode at all?!

Episode Summary: Ayano and Chitose are given the horrible job of organizing/cleaning the archive room. Surely a junior high would not have that much to archive but there are papers everywhere. To make the time go by fast Chitose says she will talk and at the end of the cleaning Ayano will have to guess what she is lying about. Chitose then talks about ghosts in the bathroom, wearing sexy underwear, having a twin, Kyoko smelling Ayano’s shoe, and winning a lottery. Ayano goes X__s as the talking continues and tries to get the conversation back on track. At the end of the cleaning Chitose says the lie she told was that she was going to lie. X__X Ayano starts replaying all the stuff Chitose said and realizes…a twin?! Kyoko and Yui have made their way to the library to study. Or cheat. Depending on the person. Kyoko spots Chitose but she refuses to make eye contact with Kyoko. Kyoko determines that Chitose must have had a fight with Ayano and it is her duty in life to cheer her up. Kyoko does different things to try to make Chitose smile but nothing works. Instead Chitose gets pissed and eventually glares. Kyoko cries on Yui when Chitose and Ayano walk up. WHAT?! Chitose is like oh hi this person you have been bothering in the library is my twin sister Chizuru.

Oh snap things just got real.

After the break Chizuru’s school life is briefly shown. She is quiet and straight to the point. Chitose invites Chizuru to the student council room after school. Ayano thinks that Chizuru is a quiet/cool girl but Chitose thinks she is just being shy and at home she is a cute little sister. Kyoko arrives with Yui and it is clear that Chizuru does not like her. But then….Chizuru takes off her glasses and reveals she is a crazy yuri lover too. Only she pairs Chitose and Ayano together. Chizuru starts drooling and Ayano panics. Chitose takes off her glasses and starts having nosebleeds while Ayano is like HELP ME and Kyoko is unhelpful. Later that night Chitose and Chizuru have a normal night at home with the exception of some questionable underwears. Chizuru shows her cute and vulnerable side. Chitose enjoys being a big sister. Kyoko spends the night at Yui’s house and slowly realizes that Chizuru does not like her. Kyoko starts too boo hoo and Yui, while saying Kyoko is to blame, gets her friend some rum raisin ice cream. Kyoko vows to make things right but the next day she is a freak and Chizuru does not appreciate it. THE END! D

This episode was weird….Like super weird.

I think people have a different definition of what dirty and gross is. I didn’t think the document/archive room was that messy. But then when I think my house is messy my friends are like um….you should see my car. So there is different definitions of messy out there. I guess there was a lot to do since teachers apparently do nothing in Japan (but go home for visits and such). And recycling and sorting the trash in Japan does take forever so maybe the organization and throwing away process was daunting as if you miss a week it could take forever.

Let me count the lies!!!!

Once Chitose started talking I started to think…yeah everything must be the truth. I thought maybe one of the more innocent things would be the lie, like the 10 year old meat tin. But Ayano got so confident that everything was a lie I knew it was all going to be the truth.

No her life is just that crazy. XD

I thought it was funny though that Chitose thought Ayano was playing the game too and that not liking Kyoko was a lie. XD Although Ayano had a delayed reaction to some of the more important “lies”. Like the twin issue was last in her MOG for real department and it wasn’t until later that she remembered the shoe thing. Those two issues would have me X_____X more than old meat and ghosts.

That is something BIG folks.

But yes the twin issue. Not that I don’t love twins. Because I do. Wish I had one. He would be an awesome little brother who would watch out for his little sister and hang out with my husband. But I am okay. No the issue I have is that no one knew Chitose had a twin. Isn’t that a MAJOR issue in someone’s life? I guess I could put aside the pet issue but not knowing if your friend has a sibling, let alone a twin WHO GOES TO THE SAME SCHOOL is weird. How am I supposed believe these girls are really friends if they don’t know such basic details about the other?

But since Yui and Kyoko just became sorta close with Chitose that is more understandable. I will pretend that school students ONLY have contact with other students in their class and see no one walking to school. Ever. Or noticed Chizuru before the library as these twins obviously hate each other. Or not.

Pay attention to ME!!!!!!!

Kyoko was rather annoying. XD That is a library. Think of the other people that are there trying to study and copy other people’s homework. I mean if she wanted to make “Chitose” smile she should have gone up to the table and done the funny faces or what not. Of course that means the melting of Kyoko would have only lasted 1 minute and not 438. But the first couple of gags were funny and the samurai hair style was funny.

The real person you should fear is Chinatsu.....

I don’t really blame the twin Chizuru for not liking Kyoko. She does have a lot of anger though. I would think she would be a little upset for disturbing her peace and then move on from that misunderstanding. But Chizuru has other reasons for not liking Kyoko. Something that runs deeper in her soul.

Thanks Chitose, we really needed that lesson.

Despite the fact that Chizuru has never MET Ayano the yuri runs deep within her soul. She doesn’t like Kyoko because that gets in the way of her Ayano/Chitose pairing. Which I find….creepy. She just met Ayano, that is her sister, and that is her TWIN. That is like imagining herself with someone else. I would never have creepy thoughts about my brother. I think I would puke if my sibling had my own face and I thought that way. CREEPY! Not sexy.

The drooling thing might be gross in real life but if they wanted to make Chizuru like her sister but not exactly like her the drool was the way to go. I thought it was cute of Ayano to be all panicked and no one else helping her. The twins may have very specific personalities (cute bookworm type and angry quiet girl) but when it comes down to it they are both perverts. XD

I love you big sister!!!!

The scene with the twins doing normal stuff at home was kinda tame and boring. Washing each other’s back, eating dinner, and snuggling to a goodnight’s sleep. Although Chizuru going through her twin’s underwear is creepy. So much creepy in this show.

Poor confused Kyoko. But she means well I guess.

I thought Kyoko being upset over the fact that someone didn’t like her was kinda cute. KINDA! But the real special part was Yui laying it out for Kyoko very honestly yet still offered her some rum raisin to wash away her tears. Or the fact that it is Yui’s house and she has special food set aside for Kyoko. Hopefully THESE friends know each other better than Ayano and Chitose know each other.

Even after 8 episodes someone is still in denial.

So we have another friend in the works. Still haven’t seen the older sisters of Akari and Chinatsu…and those two girls were absent from this episode. Next week it looks like we got a piece of everyone as they are all freaked out about ghosts and what not. Until then!!!
