The Hunger Games: Tenchi Mini Movie Review

Hello there my lovely readers. I hope that you had a great weekend. And if you had to work part or all of the weekend like I did…I hope things went as smoothly as possible. Eventually it will be time for bed right?

Like a great deal of America I decided that I was going to see the Hunger Games this weekend. This is actually a big deal for me. I haven’t gone to a movie weekend premier is a super long time. Let’s just say there was an incident with a naked Logan, a talking movie watcher, and Tenchi being yelled at. I decided that it wasn’t worth fighting the crowds and mainly stuck to weekday movies.

Ready for Monday's water cooler discussions?

And really I don’t know why we needed to go this weekend anyway. None of us had heard of the books before the movie came out and I was the only one who knew how it was going to go down. Yeah I knew a lot of the plot without reading the books….yay Wiki and TV Tropes!...I said I was addicted to links. I just keep clicking and clicking folks.

So my little mini review is going to be from the perspective from someone who had a good idea what to expect but without reading the books. If that makes any sense. X__X


I read a lot of comments on IMD before heading on over to the theaters. Because I just want to be completely spoiled for the entire movie. XD A lot of them were pretty negative (not counting the stupid ones talking about people’s weight and race) or at least were not very happy with how things turned out. Which is understandable. Books are full of tiny details and pages of character development. And people who are super fans of the book probably had way too high of an expectation before entering the theater which would lead them to some inevitable disappointment.

With all of this information in my little head…I found the movie very enjoyable. Yes there were some issues (small or not) that were not included. The theater was not as crowded as I was expecting. We got there 50 minutes before the movie started to get our favorite seats and in the end the theater was about half full. Probably because kids were getting ready to go back to school from Spring Break and we went while our mall was still opened. And the only jackass in the entire theater was the person my friend brought! No immature kids screaming and causing problems. No no just some stupid 30 year old man that I will make an effort to never see again.

Back to the movie. The only downside my husband (a nonbook/information person) noted in the entire movie was the shaky camera that was going on. I only thought it was strong in the beginning of the movie and when the Game first started but the husband said it was present the entire movie. So while this isn’t Cloverfield type crazy it was a lot of in your face and quick shots.

Not much significant on the pin or what it represents.

There are some minor issues that I caught that were changed or omitted from the film. The way Katniss gets the Mockingjay pin is almost devoid of feeling. Haymitch first appears in the train, not during the Reaping. Actually the whole Reaping was rather fast. Perhaps the movie was going for a darker mood with that scene and a drunk Haymitch would have ruined that. Effie is another interesting point in the entire movie. You never get the feeling that she really likes Katniss and Peeta outside of her own job title. But Effie does act like she never really “gets it” what with talking about desserts and that manners are important in a game about killing people.

The lovely dovey never ends though...

However all of these issues are rather small when compared to the ending. That is what I think was changed the most and probably confused most of the audience. Instead of Peeta finding out that Katniss was lying the entire time they merely get on the train and wonder what is going to happen now. Katniss does say she thinks they should forget while Peeta doesn’t want to forget but that borders on the vague side. The husband said that he thought Katniss was faking her feelings for “that dude” but even I knowing what the ending was supposed to be had a hard time figuring that out. It was almost like this movie was made with a closed ending just in case the other movies were not made. I am guessing the movie makers did not want Katniss to be cast in a bad light but I think it could have been done in such a way that was true to the book without making Katniss look like a user.

Other tiny issues would be how fast things got in the end. With three tributes left the entire Game went so fast. Katniss and Peeta’s suicide attempt happened so fast I think people might have missed it. Then BAM they are crowned winners, go to the Capitol to be threatened/be paraded around, and sent back on the train. And the part where the Career Tributes plus Peeta are skipping through the woods was kinda weird. Like they are laughing and making all kinds of noise. That is pretty dangerous behavior from trained District people and it just came off as they were walking through the mall instead of a battle for their lives. I wanted more glares and less hand holding.

I am sure there are other details that were left out but as I said I didn’t read the books. I just knew major plot points and terms. These were the things that I found could have been incorporated into the movie that would have made it stronger.

But there were many more positives for this movie than negatives. I saw people complaining that the poverty of the Districts was not portrayed well in the movie. To me it appeared obvious. The husband did question why the high voltage fence was not on though. The salute to Katniss was a sign of great respect and was done against the makers of the game. It didn’t needed to be stated directly what was going to happen. The ignorance and over the top behavior from Capitol citizen was done very well. I saw some people complaining the violence was brief and done mainly off screen. I too wondered how they were going to make a movie with 22 kids dying PG-13. I can say that there is just enough violence to make it believable and don’t know what people wanted if they are complaining.

Playing up to the cameras and probably hating every minute of it. But in doing so she honors District 11th at the same time.

I think Katniss was portrayed excellent. She was nervous, confident, anger, hurt, scared, and cunning. A well rounded character to me. She was a reserved girl with only a few people close to her heart. She didn’t want to play up to the Capitol to earn sponsors and what not but did so only to save herself, not because she thought these people were worth a damn. She was very suspect of Peeta yet cared about her fellow District 12 Tribute as a person even if she didn’t love him. She didn’t do such a great job in her interview because she was being herself, unwilling or unable to change so fast. And while her over dramatic burial of Rue was done to gain favor the crying and wailing in the woods was real. Like Katniss was actually experiencing the horrors of the reality while everyone else was pushing it aside (forever or just for now).

The romance could have been stronger but Peeta did a good job convincing me he had a brain. He didn’t seem to be good at much else so being charming worked for him. I wanted to cry when his mother cheered that they might have a winner this year….Katniss. Like THANKS MOM going to die now. While we didn’t see how the other Tributes spent their downtime it was nice to see Peeta voice the reality of the situation, that he was probably going to die and chocolate covered strawberries was not going to fix anything.

Love how everything was apparently his fault at the end.

Without reading the books I am not sure how I feel about movie giving us such obvious people we are supposed to hate. I am pretty sure the Capitol is who we are supposed to hate. Whether or not these Tributes volunteered or not there was going to be 24 kids forced to kill each other in the name of entertainment and revenge. I mean I guess it is possible some of these kids were criminals back at home but I doubt that given how strict life looked. Instead I think all of these kids, trained or not, were all innocent and are to be pitied. If I were placed in that same situation would I team up with the strong team to better my chances? Probably. That is why I think there should have been less laughing and skipping, I don’t think anyone really WANTED to be there. I mean the thought of killing someone from your own city is horrible enough right?

Would have liked to see more of this girl though. :(

Still there were some moments were the kids were acting pretty dang evil. Less talking and more stabbing of Katniss probably would have saved Clove. This is a battle to the death, not some high school drama right? Although they are all high school aged….still. That was a bit much for me. People crack under the pressure but there is a time and a place for such angers. In the safety of the randomly combusting woods obviously.

Should have just climbed a tree and waited everyone out.

What else what else….oh Rue! Can’t forget Rue. The husband and the best friend said they didn’t know why Rue was always around Katniss and what the importance of her death was as EVERYONE was going to die except one. Still I enjoyed her brief time on screen, especially when she stole Cato’s knife and was acting all tree climbery. One could say that Rue saving Katniss was her worse move. She was doing a pretty good job staying alive ALONE and only died when Katniss told her what to do. I think the movie could have had more Rue and how she was the sweetheart meant to die. But the funeral scene was done so well and I am glad no one did anything stupid in the movie theater.

In conclusion all three books are sitting on my dining room table. XD I will spend money if I have a coupon folks! The husband usually mocks me for that but he seems interested in the books as well and I have been banned from telling him anything that might have been missing from the movie. So that is a positive right? Movies making people want to read? So in my completely biased opinion I think if you think this movie looks interesting you should go see it. The complaints about some of the issues in the movie are real but won’t affect your overall experience. It is visually pleasing, I thought the acting was fine, and it really did a great job in portraying the real message of the movie, which is not 24 kids trying to kill each other.

In any event it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. If this movie doesn’t seem amazing enough for you…well you can always wait until the amazing movie Abraham Lincoln VAMPIRE HUNTER! Seriously folks. X__X

Black Rock Shooter episode 8 FINAL EPISODE!

I feel like a little lazy slug. XD Which I guess is better than being a tired slug. I think everyone was too busy at the movies and enjoy their last days of Spring Break to order a pizza. After Friday night I needed an easy night at work. Now it is time for movies and the internets.

But….I can’t be completely lazy. I have to use this lazy time to blog Black Rock Shooter final episode. It seems the writers had a bit of the lazies when it came to this show. Too bad I already spent my money on nendoroids before this show came out. Of course they are adorable….but could I really buy them and support such a hot mess of a show?

The face of a hero!

Am I getting too spoilery already? XD If you have made it this far in the show you are either a fan or someone at their wits end? Yay for watching shows that drive us crazy weeee!

Black Rock Shooter is ready to kill you...I mean love you to death!

Episode Summary: Real Yuu continues to beat the crap out of Black Rock Shooter which causes Mato to be in unbelievable pain. Strength Yuu feels really bad as she was the one who SENT Mato to be in Black Rock Shooter. So Strength Yuu had decided to travel back to Other World (because she can do that now) naked and will kill herself so Real Yuu will go back to the Real World and Mato will be okay. Still in Black Rock Shooter but okay apparently. Real Yuu is like NOOO don’t send me back and Mato is like NOOO Strength Yuu don’t die. Black Rock Shooter is about to finish off Real Yuu when Mato is able to stop her. Strength Yuu is saved from becoming a pancake but Mato emerges from Black Rock Shooter as Black Rock Mato. Strength Yuu makes it to Real Yuu who has lost all her powers. Real Yuu breaks down and is like WHYYYY why would you send me back to reality!!!!! Elsewhere Mato is like I want to feel my own pain and don’t want you fighting my battles anymore. So Black Rock Shooter proceeds to kick the ever loving crap out of her. All the while Black Rock Shooter explains that people can’t get hurt without hurting other people. People who really care about Mato. Mato decides that she wants to see all the pink sneezes and has to live. She powers up against Black Rock Shooter.

Mato, the sane one of the show.

In the real world all the girls start remembering their past pain and start crying. They should be crying because no one offered to help Yomi off the street when she is crying. Yomi eventually helps herself up and wants to share her pain with someone else. As all the girls in the real world power up their Other Girl counterparts Strength Yuu explains what is happening. In an explosion of color all the Other Girls unite and Mato is able to “beat” Black Rock Shooter. The land then turns all white. Real Yuu looks over at Strength Yuu who is not doing so good. Mato randomly shows up and Strength Yuu explains that the Other Girls have no feelings. But they fight to protect the ones they love…Real Yuu cries and Strength Yuu thanks Mato for being her friend. Then Strength Yuu gets a bad case of sparkle cancer and dies. Mato sees back Black Rock Shooter and suddenly we are back in the real world. Real Yuu is being hugged by Saya while Mato is outside by herself? Yomi finds her and apologizes for being a freak. From then on everything is wonderful. Mato is on time to school, Yuu is introduced as a new transfer student, Kagari hangs out with Yomi, and Yomi makes everyone bracelets sans hair. Then the girls do some weird Voltron thing in the air with their bracelets. They walk home together and talk about how they will no longer freak out about the smallest issues in the world. In the Other World Strength is alive and Black Rock Shooter says she will keep on fighting for Mato, the girl she loves. THE END!

Oh lord. Where do I begin with this hot mess? The good news is though a lot of people are pretty disappointed with this series. I don’t feel so alone with my “negative” opinion. Because apparently if someone doesn’t like a show that makes them a hater. It has nothing to do with the show actually sucking or not.

Maybe I will talk about the show as a whole instead of just this episode. Better connect my thoughts and what not. Or I will rant on about things like normal. XD What do you think?

The fact that Mato didn’t get a past “pain” section makes the entire show very weak. Black Rock Shooter is beyond strong and there has to be a reason for that. And this past pain would have had to happen when Mato was much younger to affect Strength and Real Yuu. Yet no back story ever came. And I am not buying the fact that Mato caring about other people’s pain is what makes Black Rock Shooter so strong. Mato didn’t know about the Yuu/Strength issue. She thought the Kagari and Yomi issue was taken care of. It looks like Mato has a pretty nice life with her family. So unless every single time a bug gets run over by a car I don’t see how Mato could be that messed up.

I mean I think I would have been fine with Mato ACTING okay but deep down she was just as crazy as Yomi. But there is no evidence that Mato is capable of having such deep emotions. She is pretty much lalala bird book and let’s be friends. Given what we know about Strength/Yuu I thought MAYBE her “real” best friend died at a young age. Maybe accidentally by Mato’s hands. And that is what caused Mato to have such pain in her heart. But that never came. And I can’t rate this show on pretending and stretching things that are barely there.

This is Black Rock Shooter reacting normally to someone who wants to be an adult about her problems.

I am still not feeling the entire premise of this show. I think if the girls had experienced real pain (Yuu not withstanding) it would have made everything a million percent better. Yomi especially. Kagari was a bitch to her I will give her that. But her descent into crazy happened AFTER Kagari got better. Yomi admitting she didn’t know how to be and make friends was a good after thought but still folks. Yomi was killing cellphones, making hair bracelets, and giving me the most amazing screen shots ever. If she was really jealous of Yuu she should have maybe been picking on Yuu, demanding more time of Mato, and doing some glares. Not all that insane stuff she was doing that didn’t apply.

But that would have been a normal reaction. And this show was not about normal reactions. It was about creating drama from tiny little issues so the other girls could fight amazing battles. Maybe it is just frightening to me that these girls couldn’t handle such small problems without totally losing their marbles. Yes it was horrible that someone posted Kohata’s note for all to see but it was going to get better. In the grand scheme of things that small event was not going to matter for her future.

Well just don't share it with those jackasses on the street. Seriously people.

Maybe I wouldn’t be so hard on this system if it didn’t result in the girls FORGETTING what made them so sad and bonkers to begin with. The Other World girls take on that pain and fight to protect the Real World girls. But if the Others die then the Real World girls just go POOF what sadness? How does that help ANYONE in the long run? It is putting a bandaid on the issue. People have to go through hard times to learn how to deal with sad issues so they can grow and become strong adults. Under this system the girls are stuck being little kids with no emotional growth.

If that is what Black Rock Shooter was fighting for I would be more understanding. That Mato unconsciously did not support that system. Mato wanted people to cry, yell, and fight out their problems. To be honest with one another and lean on each other in hard times, not Other Girls. But it has been stated that Black Rock Shooter was fighting to protect Mato, that all the pain Mato accumulated from feeling bad from other people feeling bad. So while that theory is nice it is not what was going on and that makes me a sad panda.

I'm pretty sure that makes you a selfish person.

Also there is the small fact that Real Yuu thought the real world was way too hard to live in and sent Strength to suffer in her place. Of course what suffering was there is Strength didn’t really live Real Yuu’s life. I am sure things weren’t all cupcakes and rainbows regardless. So Yuu knows that Strength got beat up every day to protect her and yet sent Strength to suffer more in the real world. X__X Real Yuu was super broken indeed but that is still messed up.

Who needs a back story when you have girls fighting each other?!

Strength was never shown meeting Mato. Strength didn’t age after leaving the Other World as Saya was much older. So Mato did not meet Strength in elementary school. We don’t even know the extent of Strength’s effect on the world. Yomi was obviously super jealous of Strength so we know SOME people were able to see her. Did Strength have the magic to change her age? Did Strength hunt down a younger girl and tagged along to make sure she didn’t get crazier in the Other World? Or did Strength meet up with Mato much later in life and alter Mato’s memories? All of these are excellent questions but we shall have no answers. So lazy this show, answers are for losers.

Silly viewers I wasn't a secondary character!

I think this show could have been stronger from the beginning. There was so much focus on Yomi and her relationships with Kagari and Mato. Strength Yuu was almost a side character. Someone to annoy Yomi. Not someone I would think would become the most important person in the story. But at the last second suddenly Strength Yuu has no shadow and she is the reason behind everything. Some might say it is because the series was only 8 episodes long. I don’t think the amount of episodes is to blame as much as how much time was wasted on stupid things.

LIKE THE STUPID BIRD BOOK! Like people…people…I actually thought the bird itself looked cute but after this show I want to kill everything that flies in the sky. Maybe that is Mato’s greatest trauma. That she never read the end of the book and the bird actually lived. Some other birds came and took on a few of the colors each. That way they could live with a little pain together. See how I just made that up in 5 seconds? My idea was better than the whole book crap. I also love how they had to add in a random girl or two to make a rainbow to rescue Black Rock Mato. Just…this book. Pink sneezes my face.

Ah yes....tough love.

The most disturbing part of this whole episode was Mato getting punched over and over in the fact by Black Rock Shooter. Like hot damn folks! We get it, Black Rock Shooter wants to teach Mato a lesson. The lesson being when someone suffers their loved ones suffer too. But maybe…just maybe that point could have been made with such a broken leg and such? Oh and if you weren’t the one causing your loved one pain?

Last time I checked....love is an emotion. But maybe I am insane.

Speaking of which….is Strength on crack? Or the people who wrote this show. It is VERY hard to love someone if you have NO feelings. One sentence Strength is saying we are born with no feelings and fight to protect you. And we fight to protect you because we love you? X__x Folks does that even begin to make sense? I get that they need to end this show on a positive note for all the crazy 12 year olds that apparently live in Japan but this does not make sense. Could the Other Girls not learn to have feelings? Like over time we develop love for the girls that we are forced to protect because they freak out over the smallest issue? No we can’t do that? Be impressed with the fighting scenes? I see now.

Light our darkest hour!!!!

In the end everything is okay folks. No one is mad at Saya for forcing them to have crazy thoughts, Yuu returns to the real world as a transfer student, Yomi and Kagari have their memories back, and bracelets for everyone! While I agree with the fact these girls need to start handling trauma on their own it was just way too forced. Kagari had a lot to apologize for, where the heck is Yuu going to live, and Saya is like oh hi I will make you nonpoisoned coffee now. Just way too rushed.

Good thing Strength had that dramatic goodbye and all.

In conclusion while collecting the nendoroids is fun I do not recommend this technocolor dream mess to anyone. Unless you like watching 12 year old girls lose their mind at a drop of a hat. For that maybe just go to a local middle school or something. There will probably be less amazing faces but more interesting outfits.

Guilty Crown episode 22 FINAL EPISODE!

YAWN! I hate Fridays. I know many people out there live for Fridays and there might be a really bad song floating around there about Fridays….but no. No Fridays for me. Friday is apparently pizza day. Pizza day for everyone!!! So while everyone is out at the mall having fun I am smelling like pizza. YAY FRIDAYS! XD But while I say that I realize I make the most money so maybe I need to be a little more grateful…..Yay Fridays….

XO But I must hold back the yawns! I have fallen behind on my beloved blogging. A few shows are starting to wrap up and I need to give them all the lovely attention they need. Also I see my comments are all backed up again. Bleh. I promise I will get to all that soon.

Spoiler alert: Killing all life on Earth is okay as long as you beat a dead person. WINNING!

For now it is the FINAL episode of Guilty Crown. I know some people thought this wonderful day would never arrive. But yes…it is time for answers folks. All the answers to every question in this show. Or a ballet show. One of the two will happen. Enjoy.

Guess seeing normal Mana is out of the question.

Episode Summary: Shu is shocked to see Mana in Inori’s body. It seems to be a combination of the two girls anyway. Mana skips over to Shu and is like WEEE long time no see. She starts going on and on about Inori being a monster which Shu does not appreciate. Mana gets pretty pissed off and decides she is never going to forgive Shu. Gai 2.0 is like just go do your special job now sweetie. Things start to get crazy. Pink ribbons surround the world, the floor turns into a flatten globe grid, and Mana puts on ballet slippers. Mana starts to dance on the map and where she lands that place in the world gets a dose of crystal disease, with people dying instantly and what not. Gai 2.0 explains to Shu that he was trying to bring about this Apocalypse so everyone could live together forever in the crystals.

Everyone in the battlefield is like X__X things are weird now right? Ayase wants to go protect Shu but crazy Daryl has other plans. Mana and her dance seem to affect much of the equipment Funeral Parlor is doing. Ayase has to do some scrambling to protect herself. Tsugumi is pissed she is unable to dance her away into their security systems. Turns out Kenji is the one behind all of the amazing. Haruka manages to track down her brother Koudou who is like HAHA I did this all to beat Ouma Daddy. Haruka is like are you for real and tries to shoot him. But Koudou injects himself with crystal nonsense saying in the end he didn’t win anything. Gai 2.0 is trying to beat Shu into realizing his idea is amazing. Shu gets injured but sees a tiny flower on the ground that represents all that is left of Inori. She appears to Shu and he is able to take out her Void….via the flower. Voiding the Flower Inori stops Mana which means Antibodies no longer has the upper hand. With Inori’s magical sword Shu changes the tide in the battle with Gai. Shu and pretend Inori eventually stab Gai which causes Mana to break down in screams.

Don't worry the world got better!

As Gai 2.0 dies Shu is taken into…the consciousness of the crystals. I guess. There Gai explains that he did everything so Mana would stop being reincarnated. He had to allow Mana to start the 4th Apocalypse so Shu could come and finally stop her once and for all. Then he and Mana die. Shu comes outside in the real world to see Inori basically one giant crystal and a face. Shu hugs Inori and starts taking in all the cancers from people all over the world in attempt to save everyone. During this Funeral Parlor manages to take over. Kenji is killed, Arisa is shot, and Daryl is saved when Rowan dies for him. Just as Shu is about to die Inori (via the crystal world) takes in all the cancer and pain he just gathered up into herself. She dies and the world is saved. Everyone looks on wondering if Shu got out okay. SOME YEARS LATER Inori’s music video is playing in a normal looking Japan. The mains minus Arisa are having a birthday party for Hare and waiting for one more person to show up. Finally Shu arrives with a fake arm and blind. After the party Shu goes to the park to listen to Inori’s song and it appears he is able to see Inori living on in the crystal world. THE END!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

That is me laughing at the people who think this was a good show. Hold on…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I mean…we are all allowed to have our likes and dislikes in life. If everyone liked the same things the world would be a pretty boring place. But there is a difference between liking a show and saying it is GOOD. I mean..this show was PRETTY and I like pretty things but I wouldn’t call it good.

We were all fooled! :(

Starting off Arisa did not die. That happened like in the last minute of the show so I am not sure why I am starting off with that fact. Maybe because I am pissed. Arisa started off as a calm and rational person. Even when crap hit the fans Arisa kept on trucking. She supported and probably came up with the Void Ranking idea with Yahiro. Then she started going pretty dang crazy. For no damn reason.

People are saying she did have a reason to lose it and that deep down she was just a scared girl who needed a second chance. You know what….no. Arisa just assumed Shu was using them…more than she thought. And Inori stabbed her hand a little. Arisa responded by skanking herself out for useless information, working with a dead person, planning to help with the Shu arm removal process, and helped Gai 2.0 kill a ton of innocent people. And since I sincerely doubt that Arisa was let in on the ultimate plan she can’t use the WELL I helped saved the world excuse. Because she knew nothing. She was just listening to Gai 2.0 in the hopes she would be rewarded with his crystal penis.

WHY?! WHY IS SHE OKAY?!

In conclusion Arisa sucked. I really thought she was going to be a strong character but she was truly selfish. She had the potential to have some angst from all the family pressure and emerge as her own person. Instead of overcoming any potential problems in her life she fell “in love” with someone she knew for 5 seconds and became a lapdog. She was way more guilty than Shu in regards to death and betrayal yet she gets to life. And I am pissed off.

Silly people wanting to live and such.

It is time to move on since Arisa was barely important anyway. Mana was pretty dang crazy. Like oh Shu I took a nap for 8 years but here I am in someone else's body YAY! Clearly she was gone. I think it is sad though there was never any “real Mana” moments. When Gai and Mana died the first time Mana had a second of clarity, where she was happy to be with Gai and to die as herself. But this time around she was just pure crystal Mana. At least she didn’t try to rape Shu again. Although I did expect Mana to sit back and watch Gai 2.0 and Shu fight it out, to see who would be worthy as her Adam.

I.....yeah. Human evolution decided this was the best way to turn itself into crystal dust.

But no guys. After Shu turns Mana down, because her plan of destroying all life on Earth didn’t jive with him, Mana puts on her dancing slippers. It was like some insane Swan Lake meets DDR moment. I mean…at this point it is probably not going to make sense on why the floor turning into a map of the world would then DESTROY said world but we are dealing with crystals from space. It is just the way the end of the world came about people. Like lalala byebye New York City. Spin Spin Spin peace out Hong Kong. It was so….so over dramatic I can’t even find words for it. I would never have guessed in a million years that DANCING was going to bring about the Apocalypse. Maybe SINGING since Inori was able to save the world before with that and it was hinted that SONGS could activate the genom whatever thing.

Gai 2.0. Oh I see. He had a perfectly good reason for hurting and destroying so many people. He was trying to bring Mana out of the cycle of reincarnation. If he allowed her to have a mini Apocalypse then she would have fulfilled her duty and would stay dead this time. It all makes sense folks. Really it does. Or not. Maybe if Gai 2.0 had kidnapped Inori sooner and explained his plan to said pink hair cutie a lot of lives would have been saved. Inori believed in Gai and Gai 2.0. She thought she was a monster. She might have allowed Mana to take over to save more lives and Shu. Maybe it was inevitable that some lives were going to be lost but had Gai 2.0 opened his mouth and moved faster it would have been less dramatic and bloody….I mean crystaly.

He did this for everyone! Be grateful!

But now everyone is like POOOOR GAI 2.0! Maybe Guilty Crown is actually about Gai 2.0. He is just SO AMAZING. I guess everyone is forgetting that Gai 2.0 was telling Shu that he supported this orange tang theory. Yes folks. I was just kidding with that stupid theory but the will of the human race was apparently to live on as crystals together. That is obviously the next stage of human evolution. Deep down that is what everyone really is wishing for. And Gai 2.0 supported this thinking. He didn’t want to be left behind and wanted everyone to be crystalized. Until Shu stabbed him and it was all like POOR GAI 2.0.

I think Shu will pass on the tang.

Can I just express how upsetting it is that there is no Daath Alien race up there in the sky responsible for all of this. I mean…yes that would have been pretty stupid too. Only because it would not have had enough time to get properly explained. But at least it was something. We had an eyebrow kid, rock from space, and a weird disease that was out of this world. But…Daath is the will of the people. The natural evolution of the human race. Nothing…just…nothing. Nothing to make this show make sense. I don’t even know what to say.

All the other fighting going outside was so rushed and mushed together it was hard to keep up. Daryl wants to be famous for being a murderer, Ayase and Tsugumi have to bounce around a little to show the audience they have boobies, Arisa was using her own Void, and Momma Haruka is facing off with her brother. The UN is still hanging on and any minor character has to look on in horror. So much squished in a tiny bit of time.

Kenji died off screen so he is another picture of insane Daryl.

Can I just say it was totally unnecessary to kill Kenji? I really don’t know why any of these morons were supporting Gai 2.0 as he was trying to kill them…I mean turn them all into crystals. But if it listen to Gai 2.0 or die I would…well run away. But Kenji stayed around and listened to someone who rescued him from jail. The others were going to go back with Gai 2.0 until he developed the crazies. I don’t know…I am not making sense but I just don’t see what he did that was so evil. Oh right I am still bitter that Arisa lived.

Are you insane?!

Even Daryl thinks Rowan is insane.

OKAY! I know SOME of you like Daryl. From Guilty Crown, not the Walking Dead. I am of the camp he has always been insane and for 5 seconds he had a candy apple and was tolerable. Then he went back to being crazy. So the fact that he got to live and Rowan DIED to save him boggles my mind. What part of him was good Rowan? Can you see the future? If so please use it to save yourself and this punk kid next time. Like really folks what kind of ending is this?!

Inori turning into a flower and allowing Shu to use her Void….yeah I am going to chalk this up to another WTF moment that won’t be explained. If you don’t explain the very premise of this show then nothing else needs to be explained. It is just magic. Also it appears that the creators were trying to use every single scene in the opening song. By making it as forced as possible.

Holding back the tears for you Gai. SO SAD!.....

After Gai 2.0 and Mana “died” it was pretty obvious what was going to happen next. Shu was going to take on all the pain and crystal cancers of the world. So it is unclear if Gai 2.0 knew this was going to happen. If so he is amazing and can predict the future. All the people he killed were automatically going to be saved by Shu. Good thing Shu survived losing his arm. Otherwise POOR GAI 2.0!

But yes folks. Shu had to take on all the pain and suffering because he wears the Guilty Crown. Still not understanding why folks. I went on in detail last post but what has Shu REALLY done wrong?! I think he did the best he could given the situation and he got crapped on the entire way. Inori was using him via Gai’s orders, was forced to join terrorists, had a power inserted in his arm, forced to be leader of a group of crazy kids, LOST HIS ARM, lost his girl, and in the end had to kill his sister and best friend to save the world.

I would have been like HAHA screw you all...but I am not amazing.

So why the Guilty Crown? Why does Shu think he needs to die for the Earth when he has been put through so much? And that is only the crap in this show, none of the stuff in his Mana raping past! Why does he need to bear the burden of everyone? To make everyone think WOW what a nice guy? Fine then say that. But to take on the word Guilty? I think not.

Inori doesn't even need a body to do amazing things!

And in the end it doesn’t matter. Because Inori wakes up with her blind crystal self and instead of staying in the……beyond with Shu she takes all the crap from Shu and dies. Shu gets to live and Inori, who has not been shown to have Void Sucking Powers so far, can just magically take on all the crap from the world and dies. Maybe it is because she is in the super power Mana/Inori body but come on people! I get WANTING to save someone but please make it make sense. It is like they are making this up as they go along.

It is unclear if Inori, Mana, and Gai 2.0 are alive in this new level of human evolution. I would like to think they aren’t. Like nope this was a failed attempt to get humans to a different level of consciousness and it didn’t work. POOF! Begone. Humans got to live and this other world was destroyed. But all the Inori fans out there would be like NOOOOOOOOO.

Sounds like Ayase didn't end up with Shu either! X__X

It is clear though that the writers hate Shu. All he have left in this world is his stepmother, one arm, and two broken eyes. Oh yes it is so amazing that Inori that died to protect Shu. Happy Birthday a few years later Hare. Look Inori your song is being played in town. Ayase people thought you were going to get out of the wheelchair. Well you didn’t. But now you have Shu all to yourself. Well what is left of him anyway.

In conclusion I had high hopes for this series. It started off slow but showed some promise. But after Gai and Mana died things got a little crazy. Then Mana and Gai 2.0 came back and things got pretty stupid. Tons of plot points were introduced but most of them were poorly explained. This show was not lacking in characters but the ones fans like the most seem to be Ayase and Tsugumi, two that barely had anything to do. Can’t hate what you don’t know. And the very premise of this show was NEVER explained. Viewers were forced to go with the flow and fans of this show would say well don’t think so much and you will enjoy it more.

One of the only things I liked about this show was Shu. He didn’t become amazing over night. One would argue he never became amazing. He reacted like a normal kid most of the time. Well as normal as someone who had an incest loving sister in the wing and a magical arm full of powers. But he had doubts, tried to believe in his friends, failed at being a leader when it was forced upon him, and tried to be a hero when all he wanted was the girl.

A very healthy relationship, when one of the people is no longer a people.

And yes….death would have been better for Shu. At least he could have been with his little monster. Le sigh. Thanks Guilty Crown. For what I don’t know. Maybe you will win an award for the most uses of one song in 22 episodes? I don’t know. Just disappointment all over my face.

50 Questions Tenchi Edition

Hello there my lovely readers. I hope you are having a wonderful week. I know sometimes that isn’t possible given some real world issues. But hopefully something positive is happening or going to happen soon to you. If not…buy some ice cream. Ice cream has known healing powers, even if it is only slight in nature.

For a few weeks now I have noticed that some bloggers I follow have posted a 50 question article about themselves. The 50 questions are a mix of anime and personal questions and originated on the blog run by Ace Railgun. At first I thought 50 questions was a lot and reading each blog post that popped up on my roll would take forever. But I found they all made for quick and fun reads. While I don’t know any of these people personally it was interesting to read about other anime bloggers. I think sometimes we forget people on the internets ARE people and exist outside the realm of anime and manga. That SHOCKINGLY there are other things that make up their identity and what not.

Happiest sheep EVER!

So being the little sheep that I am I decided to take part in this mass blogging post. XD Sheeps are cute yes? So let the questions roll. Although I think readers might know a lot about me already with my tendency to over share…..

Pictures stolen from all over the internets!


Questions About Anime

1.Who is your favorite male anime character?

XO These questions start off hard. Maybe Nezumi from No. 6? He had great development as a character. He starts off as a cold, rough person given his terrible past. Overtime he learns to be more like Shion, hoping for a better future and that being a kind hearted person has nothing to do with being a door mat. I suppose one could say that I picked him because he is a gay character. And maybe that is true. But the way he is presented is in a super positive way. Most shows that have gay characters in them present the character in an over the top fashion. Yes some gay males are over the top but that gives people a skewed view of what gays are like. With Nezumi I think his story reached a larger audience, showing people that gays are just like straight people in regards to their feelings and that their relationship wasn’t all about getting in bed and what not. I hope I am wording this right X_x

2. Who is your favorite female character?

This is too adorable for words!

I have to pick just one? For the longest time it was Lita from Sailor Moon. Is my horrible dubbing showing? XD But she was strong, a great friend, a mostly useful member of the team, and great a lot of things. Sure she was a little boy crazy but what teenage girl isn’t? She had fun with Serena without being a BITCH to her all the time but brought the serious when need be.

But now…..I might have to pick Mugi from K-On! She is so adorable! I know the rich girl not knowing the plight of the average man CAN be annoying but Mugi does it in a way that is not degrading or rude. Plus how can I not love a girl who gives sweets to her friends every day? She has an eagerness about her that makes the mundane tasks of life fun but she isn’t loopy in the brain. She can take a joke and gives them out in a light hearted manner. Yay moe blobs?

3. What is your favorite anime soundtrack?

This one doesn’t really apply to me. I don’t buy or listen to anime soundtracks. I mainly skip opening and ending songs unless I really like them.

4 and 5. What is your favorite anime opening/ending song + animation?

This changes all the time based on when new animes come out. I think for the opening I would have to go with Spiral from Blood C. For the ending I will go with Magia from Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.

6. What is your favorite anime scene?

Currently it is the scene from Black Rock Shooter when Yomi loses her mind and attacks a cellphone. But that is because I am evil. Maybe when Yui from K-On! cut her bangs wrong and all the girls freaked out. Reminds me of fun times in high school. Really this is a hard question X__X.

7. If you could meet an anime character who would it be?

Well this isn't Lelouch...but maybe she has the answers?!

Lelouch from Code Geass. I would be like Dude put it to rest, are you dead or not in the final episode?

8. What anime character is most similar to you in terms of personality?

Err…maybe Rei from High School of the Dead? Minus the athletic ability and running around practically naked. She tries to be a badass at times but deep down she wants to be protected. She is harsh and opinionated but is loyal to her friends. She is quick to blame but will eventually apologize if she is at fault. I don’t know, she seems like a weird choice. Can’t I think of someone who isn’t stuck in the zombie apocalypse. Kyou from Clannad maybe?

9. What is your favorite thing about anime?

That if one season is full of meh shows maybe next season there will be many awesome ones. There is always something new going on in the anime world and plenty to pick from. 25 new titles, at least one you will like.

10. What is your least favorite thing about anime?

That animes are made from mangas that aren’t complete. I mean I understand why it has to be that way as some mangas don’t end FOR YEARS but sometimes this leads to random and out of character endings. Oh and over the top fanservice.

11. Who are your favorite anime couple?

Cousins sorry. I meant my favorite COUSINS!

Well one could argue that Fai and Kurogane are really more a manga couple…let me think. Maybe Michuri and Haruka from Sailor Moon. Wish they got more screen time though.

12. Who is your favorite anime animal?

I am not sure what kind of animal Mokona is but she/he is super fun. But in real life I would love to own an Eevee type. Probably a Leafeon.

13. What anime would make a good game?

I am not very up to date on games so I hope I don’t make a silly mistake like listing something that is already a game. Maybe we could turn Mirai Nikki into a fun game of Clue?

14. What game would make a good anime?

I am not much of a gamer. I do play Pokemon and a few other games…but they already came from shows. Err The Resident Evil games? I like zombies! XD

15. What was the first anime you ever watched?

I didn’t know it at the time but Sailor Moon. It came on super early in the mornings before school and then it disappeared for a while. All I could remember the dancing silhouettes in the opening. XD

16. Do you think you’ll ever stop watching anime?

I don’t know. I know I don’t plan on having kids and I imagine I will have jobs similar to the one I have now (retail and otherwise). So I doubt time will ever be an issue. There was a time in the past where all I watched as anime but then I got really into an online game and anime took a back seat. So I can see that happening again but I think no matter how long the break is I will continue to watch anime. That was a long answer for No.

17. What is your favorite genre of anime?

I don’t think I really have a type. I like some sci-fi shows, some slice of life, some mysteries, and a few fightings. I guess for me the art and story are more important than a specific type. But I guess I do like shows that have element of magic and supernatural in it.

18. What is your least favorite genre of anime?

Hentai? Mainly because I am a hypocrite. Maybe if the boobs weren’t so HUGE it would be a different story. Also I am not a real fan of shows that have long drawn out battles that never EVER end. But for some reason I made it through DBZ. Well up to the Cell Years.

19. Are you open about watching anime with people you know?

Maybe. I tend to watch anime on my computer so it might be hard to do with other people. I have watched anime with people I know in the past at anime conventions…with hundreds of other people. I tend to want to watch anime alone though so I can pause and yell at the screen at ease.

20. Have you ever been to Japan?

Yes. May 5th to May 30th 2011. I blogged about 948234 posts about it if you are interested in spending a million hours on the internet.

21. What anime was the biggest let down for you?

Right now that would be Guilty Crown. I was fooled along with everyone else in the blogging world. But I generally stop watching shows that are horrible train wrecks. Although I do remember hating Vampire Knight with a passion.

22. What anime was better then expected?

For me that would be Clannad. I saw that other people were talking about how awesome it was and I thought well…I will give it a whirl just because everyone else is doing it. I had MEH expectations going into it so it really surprised me when it turned out to be a really cool show. I am not sure if this counts though as I read it was going to be a good show…

23. What is the best anime fight scene?

Well I guess it technically wasn't Queen Beryl...

Sometimes fight scenes bore me so I have to really think about this one. Also are we talking about fighting like swords clashing and fists flying or can it be magic? In any event I am going to go with Princess Serenity verses Queen Beryl.

24. Who is your anime waifu?

He needs a bit of fashion help though.

If I was a lesbian or a dude I think I would pick Mugi from K-On!! She is enough crazy to have a good time with but serious enough I wouldn’t be embarrassed by her antics. That and who needs a wife who can cook when her family can buy me a personal chef?

If I were to rephrase the question and answer the question who would be my anime husband…I would have to think about that. I tend to see things through yaoi colored glasses….Um…Seiya from Sailor Moon Stars? If I ignore the horrible fashion choices and the fact that I picked another girl…he seems like a fun yet capable dude.

MOG I totally forgot about Saito from Hakuouki! Yes I would marry him…if he learned to talk a little bit more. XD

25. What was your favorite video game as a child?

Golden Sun? But my brothers and I played a Mario game together a lot when we were younger. I forget the name of it but it had a marshmallow frog and a giant sword and 5 power ranger like baddies near the end.


Questions About Me

26. Most Embarrassing moment?

I tripped and fell in front of a large group of people once. I guess that is more interesting than the typical MOG period moment every girl has at least once in her life.

27a. Can you drive?

I can drive a standard car. Not a stick shift.

27b. Do you own a car?

Yes. A pizza mobile.

28. Are you mature?

In some cases yes and some cases no. I try to be in serious moments or at work but at home my husband and I cut up a lot. I try not to let my “immature” fun bother other people though (IE not throwing water balloons at people off balconies at people and what not).

29. What year were you born?

About as old as this video.

1983. Approximately a million years before most people answering this question.

30. Do you prefer cats or dogs?

Cats. I am not fond of most dogs, especially big ones. It is amazing how every single dog owner out there says OH they won’t bite. AMAZING.

31. Describe yourself physically.

5 feet 4 inches tall with thigh long hair. “Slender” except in the “bottom” area. XD “ “ indeed. Oh and apparently "slightly" Mexican.

32. What would you name your first child?

Mistake?

33. What is the worst injury you have ever had?

I got a nasty foot infection in 7th grade. Well maybe not so nasty since I was fine like a week later. I have been blessed so far in life.

34. What is your worst habit?

Talking too much. I hate it when things are quiet and people are in a room. Heck I hate it when I am alone and it is quiet. But then I start talking way too much which people seem to hate. Need to work on that or so I have been told.

35. Do you drink or smoke?

No. One because I think smoking smells horrible and I am a total light weight when it comes to drinking. B I rather spend all that money on things I can KEEP not throw away.

36. Do you have a tattoo?

No. I am highly allergic to pain.

37. Are you a morning person or a night person?

HAHAHAHA! What a silly question. Night person. Well does being up til 3 am count?

38. Have you ever slept past midday

I am not sure what midday counts as. But I am going to answer yes.

39. Do you regret anything?

Yessie. Hopefully I learn from them.

40. Can you count the number of friends you have on one hand?

Close friends yes.

41. Do you wear glasses?

Yes. Have since 4th grade. My parents bought me the ugliest pair in the entire store so I only wore them to see the black board. Then in 9th grade I broke them on purpose so I could get an ADULT pair. Losers. Then after high school I gave up and started wearing them all day.

42. Are you a picky eater?

.....Where was the McDonalds again?

HAHAHA! That would be a yes. But my brother is way worse.

43. Would you die for someone?

I think I would die TRYING to protect someone and myself. But I am not going to throw myself on a grenade for someone. I rather go out trying to save us both.

44. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

I don’t think pooping out $100 bills counts. I would probably want to fly since I am late all the time. Although I am afraid of heights. Maybe the power to read people’s minds so I can tell when people are lying or not.

45. Do you believe in the supernatural?

I do believe in God so it is hard to answer that question while avoiding the lightening. But I do think there are things in this world that can’t be explained away by science or known facts.

46. Would you rather be rich or famous?

Rich.

47. Have you ever committed a crime.

Well I speed every single day. But I think everyone does that so maybe that doesn’t count. I hit someone’s car in a parking lot and drove off once. Of course I was there first and when I went to leave they were parked WAY over the line and in my parking spot…

48. Pirates or ninjas?

See? Much better outfits!

Ninjas. Sometimes pirates have questionable outfits and being wet all the time would get old.

49. Does someone have a crush on you?

I hope not.

50. Are you in a relationship?

Yes going on 11 years now.


XD So that is my take on the 50 questions that are making the rounds on different anime blogs. Hoped you enjoyed getting to know me. XD

Mirai Nikki episode 22

XO I am on a roll, three episodes in one day! Of course most of the first two were already written....

Psht that doesn't matter. Rewards for Tenchi! Time for ice cream.

Well if Yuki doesn't you can always do it Yuno!

Oh yes the episode. One would think things were winding down on Mirai Nikki but it appears there is still time for AMAZING things to happen. Episode 22 weee!

Akise was such a great Observer he didn't even know he was doing it!

Episode Summary: MurMur is still not pleased that Akise is there talking to Deus. 8th leaves saying she will complete her part of the plan. Akise again asks if Yuki can really makes things back to normal if he becomes god. Deus asks what is normal because he wants to get around wording. The audience is not able to hear all the answer but Akise comes away with the knowledge that no, Yuki cannot bring back the dead if he is god. Akise tries to leave to warn Yuki of this news when Deus is like um no. Deus explains that Akise is not a real…anything. He was just data complied to record the events of all the Diary Users. Akise takes this news pretty well but insists he is real. Dues starts taking him apart to put into the big old computer in the sky. Deus says if Akise can say one thing he did of his own free will he will allow him to live. Akise tries listing things but Deus is like um no I made you do all those things. Even Akise’s love of Yuki is shot down with a Um No. Right before Akise dies 8th makes him an Apprentice Diary. This is proof that Yuki has a will of his own. Dues laughs and is like you go do that….as Deus falls apart even more. Akise orders the others to take 8th away while he goes to talk to Yuki. Yuki is all like let’s go to Akise’s house and kill 8th together Yuno. Yuno wants Yuki to promise that if people betray Yuki he has to kill them. Yuki is like these people are my friends everything will be fine.

Err...isn't that 11th's Diary?

They get to Akise’s place and only Akise is there. They see in the distance Hinata and company trying to take 8th away. Yuno goes in for the kill right away but Akise is ready for her. Akise explains his Apprentice Diary basically lets him see what anyone who can predict the future can see without altering it. I think anyway. Yuno gets pissed and is like SEE YUKI! For some reason Yuki LEAVES Akise alone with Yuno as he goes off to find 8th. Yuno and Akise dance for a while but Akise gets the upper hand. Yuno and her ever crazy self decides to stab herself. She bets either way this will negatively effect how Yuki listens to Akise. Akise ends up patching her up before going after Yuki. Yuki makes it to the destroyed building where Hinata tries to stop Yuki. She tells him that Yuno is lying. That a god can’t bring people back to life and Yuno is planning something else. Yuki starts crying and saying this isn’t true. Yuno calls Yuki and starts screaming that Akise is trying to kill her and that everyone is lying. Hinata again tries to explain her side of the story but Yuki shoots her. Yuki promises to bring her back since she is a LIAR! Mao is not too happy that Hinata is dead and starts yelling at Yuki. Basically she confirms what Hinata was saying was true and that the more people Yuki kills the more things will get messed up. Yuki shoots Mao and continues on. Kousaka pretends to walk away disgusted with Yuki but instead tries to take out Yuki. Yuki shoots him and continues to look for 8th.

Um have you met Yuki yet? He cries at everything!

Akise makes it to Yuki and is pretty pissed with himself for not killing Yuno. If he had everyone else would be alive. He resolves to stop trying to change the future and just make sure Yuki is the last one left. Akise continues by saying Yuno knows that Yuki won’t be able to bring anyone back if he is god and that Yuno plans on killing Yuki. Yuno and her bleeding self arrive and Akise says according to his Diary he will kill her. Yuki gets all panicked when they start to fight. Akise destroys Yuno’s phone but she doesn’t disappear and she slashes Akise’s throat. He gets beyond confused as he lays there bleeding to death. Yuki wants to see Akise but Yuno is like SMILE let’s continue on! They find 8th who is pinned under some rumble. She tells 8th to make the world safe for children as Yuno stabs her. Akise is trying to figure out how the fake Yuno could be alive and have a Future Diary. Suddenly he realizes why destroying her phone didn’t work and climbs up to Yuki. He types on his phone what he has figured out and manages to show Yuki before Yuno cuts off his head. THE END!

XO Is this the week of high body counts? Everyone needs to hide because all these series are going out with a bang!

Also my summary got pretty long. I started typing in the second the episode ended so everything was fresh in my mind. So it was more of a recap than a summary I guess….

Well not all of it of course.

It is obvious that Deus didn’t tell Akise everything he needed to know. I thought during the conversation (the part we the viewers couldn’t hear) Deus was telling Akise who Yuno really was. But apparently he didn’t and only said that being god won’t bring back the dead. Which is fine. He doesn’t really need to tell Akise anything. Yet I think he is being more honest that MurMur at this point. That might not be very honest considering what MurMur has been doing up until now.

Not that we really KNOW for a fact what MurMur has been doing. In one of my crazier moments I thought that maybe MurMur is something that Prior Winner Yuno has wished for. Deus hasn’t killed or gotten rid of MurMur despite her meddling so me thinks he can’t really affected her. So maybe MurMur is like Akise and is there to observe what is going on and to do things Yuno can’t? Or that is all wrong and MurMur is like I want to be god NOW!

DAD?!

Akise isn’t human. I didn’t see that coming. When he first RANDOMLY came on the scene I thought he had something to do with the Future Diaries but then he wasn’t really able to predict anything that was going on or knew who Yuno really was. So I just filed it under really weird high school boy. Maybe he stalked Yuki in high school or something. But never did I think that Akise was just a bunch of data created by Deus. I SEE FOLKS!

I found the wording of this odd. Did Deus mean he normally records everything alone or does he mean he records other type battles (that he creates) but this one is different with Future Diaries?

At first I wasn’t really sure why Deus would need to make Akise. If he is a god he can see what is going on in his own game right? How can 10th hide from Deus if Deus KNOWS who he is. But maybe Deus’ powers were so weak at this point he needed some help. Or maybe being a god really isn’t that all powerful. If they can’t bring people back to life maybe they can’t keep track of people on Earth. I don’t know. Still very odd.

But we already knew that! :( Show me more.

I wish that more was shown in regards to Akise being the little spy that could. The few scenes that were shown was stuff the viewers already saw. Like yes you were outside 10th’s house and DUH anyone who knows Yuno would dig a hole in her back yard. I just wanted to see more of what Akise did prior to all that. Unless…there was no Akise prior to that. That would be sad then.

That didn't go too well for you Akise.

Deus should have had a better reason to dismiss Akise’s love for Yuki. And by a better reason I mean any reason at all. He was just like NOPE moving on. Although as a viewer I would have liked to see more evidence of that love. He said it once before early on but then it appeared to me Akise was more focused on stopping Yuno with saving Yuki as a bonus. And as a yaoi colored glasses girl I would have liked to see way more! XD But I see a few people are complaining about the one gay kiss!

Like I have had to see naked Minene and Yuno in her panties. Why are people complaining about a kiss? In the end I wish there was more of Akise’s feelings towards Yuki as it would show a greater audience that HEY gay people are just like straight people and it isn’t always over the top flowery scenes.

Yuno in the midst of a logic session.

I think I was following Yuno’s logic when it came to stabbing herself. I actually thought she was doing so to make Yuki come back to her and for him to kill Akise. At this point though I agree with Akise and think he is a dumbass for stitching Yuno up. Maybe Akise was going to be lucky today and it was going to be the day where Yuki turns on Yuno. He flip flops all the time so Akise should have taken his chance. And of course this just proves that Yuno is a crazy person.

Does she mean normal people or Diary Users? Because they HAVE to kill the Diary Users yes?

Yuki taking out all these friends…well I could argue I didn’t really consider these people his friends to begin with. XD Of course they did rescue him from pee cup Yuno….Still at this point Yuki has been put through a lot and has to bank on the dream he can bring people back to life. So if he has to face the fact that is all a lie Yuki would have to go on without his parents and the knowledge he really is a murderer. So in light of that it makes sense that he killed more people. XD

8th probably would have died even if Yuno didn't stab her...

The killing of 8th was kinda anticlimactic. But given her size and limited Diary Use powers it was probably inevitable. Maybe she should have whispered more to Yuki about what a crazy pants Yuno is.

But why was Akise looking at Yuno...Trying to drive her crazy?

Putting aside my yaoi colored glasses I do think that Yuki not shooting Akise right away (or at all) means that above all he trusts him more than the others. Not enough to believe him apparently but Akise is the more logic of…well everyone. I think Akise should have tried a little harder to say HEY Deus said you can’t bring your people back. And Yuno knows that. So why would Yuno let Yuki kill herself if she can’t be wishes back. You are being used Yuki.

Yuno is pretty hardcore though. A little stab here and a beheading here….yeah. Maybe I am glad they censored that?

Now did Yuki read the phone or was he too busy seeing the head fly through the air.....

But before Akise lost his mind (HAHAHA….) he was trying to put all the pieces together. So either that means Deus didn’t tell him everything or Deus does not know everything. Probably more like Deus does not know everything. I am guessing that Akise wrote “Yuno is Yuno” or “Yuno has played the game before”. Something of that affect. Enough to leave us with a cliffhanger.

So this episode seemed a little rushed and left me a few questions. I am assuming that the first few minutes of the first episode was the game Yuno played prior to this timeline. Yuki took some pills and died so Yuno could live. This would make Yuno the winner. But if Yuno was god why didn’t she bring Yuki back? She was probably told this after the fact, went insane, and the world turned into a wasteland.

But why has Yuno traveled back in time to redo things? If she really is in love with Yuki then this would still end badly for her. If she wanted to be the last person standing then she wouldn’t have traveled back in time to begin with. And why does her different timeline phone work in this game? I am assuming that Yuno killed her present timeline self and grabbed her phone right when the game started.

Why does it look like MurMur just won?

There must be more going on than we know. Well obviously. XD But MurMur picked Yuno to win and that might be because they are working together. MurMur has been the one picking the contestants for this game right? But then there is Deus. His face lit up when Yuki opened the NOOO door. Like he knew Yuno killed herself and her parents and Yuki knowing that (well at least the parents) would change the game. So maybe Deus is aware of Yuno’s time traveling and has taken steps to make sure she doesn’t win again.

See the swirl? Who caused it to disappear?

I think I had a lot more things in my head that I wanted to talk about but I am pushing 2000 words. Just I am curious how there is 4 more episodes of information when everything seemed rushed this episode. Is Yuno really crazy or does she want to save Yuki at the cost of her own life? It appears that one action temporarily stopped the swirl blobs but it is unclear WHOSE actions stopped destroying the world. In any event….Yuki is probably going to cry more. XD
