I love Kibure Kikki the dinosaur girl.

ME! In a DINOSAUR SUIT THAT'S RIGHT! DINOSAUR!

I actually got this a few days after New Years because it didn't arrive for Christmas 2011 on time, but I thought now would be the appropriate time to post it on my birthday! Here's to hoping I don't try to wear it outside of the house! BEST GIFT EVER! I LOVE MY BOYFRIEND SO MUCH!!!

Sooooo drunk!

Sooooo drunk she slept in the street...

She slept on this cute little ball of awesome!

YOU GONNA GET TAKEN HOME!

Hide, Moe's brother, isn't too impressed with Poyopoyo though... I sense a beautiful relationship a brewing between them! Cats just know who doesn't really like them and will either make their relationship worse or better! So far I think Hide thinks it's the worst thing ever. I do however love how their father seems to like the cat more than his own son.

Weird first reaction to a cat...

An even stranger reaction to the cat...

The cat STAYS!

King cat knows when he's got it good!

Poyopoyo is quite the energetic cat even though he is so round and blob like. Kinda like my cat actually! Poyopoyo can amazingly run really fast, generally for food, he oddly likes bathing and jumping around. He'll even play with kids and not hurt them when they poke and tease him! All in a days work for cute little Poyopoyo!

FOOD!

BATH!

KIDS! >.<

JUMPING! lol the books!

No one quite knows what Poyopoyo is in the neighborhood, so Moe has to explain it a lot to others... Even the vet... lol... Poor round fat kitty! So misunderstood!

Cats are funny creatures when it comes to sleeping. They never want to sleep with the one that wants them. I'm generally the one attacked with a furball in the face while sleeping when I really don't want it!

Time to CRUSH!

Oh those evil cats!

The OP for this show is cute and adorable singing about how awesome round things are. When these round things are in cat form I gotta say I agree with the song 100%! I'm so looking forward to this show every week and hope it ends up being like 100+ episodes! Yes I missed my weekly dose of cat short goodness and Poyopoyo is totally going to fill that void!

Bitchy mother.

Weiner of a father.

Even Megumi doesn't really respect her father.

I don't have much else to add about this episode honestly... I just really wish that dude in the table would appear more than just in the credits... I really want to know what the deal is with that dude because he is awesome. Also Megumi's parents are REALLY young looking and it kinda bothers me a little for some reason...

Oh pretty bishies!

A lot of falls (still airing) shows might end up with a rating change (the 7-8 ones) but for now this is how they stand. I'm excited to see how much better Gundam Age can get for me. It's been quite fun so far. Bakuman 2 is going strong so far and I'm very happy that we can all look forward to a Bakuman 3 next fall! Ben-To, Persona 4, and Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere were a lot of fun to watch. I'm happy with how they went from me wondering if they would be good to being AMAZING. Persona 4 is continuing on into winter so there's more to look forward to of that.

Picture by mueojisan Top = Zero Bottom = StayNight

Best Show of fall should be Last Exile: Fam but since it's still airing I'm going to award this honour to Fate/Zero. As said before I haven't played any of the games but I did watch Fate/stay night and enjoyed it a lot. So much that I even re-watched it before Zero aired so the bf could experience it. I can't wait for S2! What a mean cliffhanger to leave us with.

Worst Show of fall is of course Mashiro-Iro Symphony. Eroge. Harem. Yeah...

That "cat" thing was alright...

Here's my big list of Best to Worst shows of fall 2011:

1. Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing (still airing) 10/10
2. Fate/Zero 10/10
3. Ben-To 10/10 
4. Bakuman 2 (still airing) 9/10
5. Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere 9/10
6. Hunter x Hunter (still airing) 9/10
7. Guilty Crown (still airing) 8/10
8. Kimi to Boku 8/10

25. C³ 3/10
26. Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!! 2/10
27. Mashiro-Iro Symphony: The Color of Lovers 1/10

^_________^

Surprise enjoyment: Guilty Crown simply because everyone else in the whole wide world likes to hate on it. How I'm not a hater with the haters is amazing honestly but I like the damn show! Kimi to Boku could have gone either way for me honestly. Something drew me into it though and it may or may not have to do with cats~ Can't wait for more come spring. Chihayafuru is super girly for me but this 'Karuta' game they play keeps me interested. I'm not fond of her or the game but I do like watching them play it.

Surprise fail: Honestly there were no anime that I found bad that I thought weren't going to be already. That just further proves how awesome the fall season of 2011 has been!

Honorable mentions: High Score & Chibi Devi! I'm actually blogging! Un-Go was everything that Shinrei Tantei Yakumo wanted to be. Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai I wanted to like very much but deep down I knew it wouldn't be for me. It just drove me crazy with the 3 main characters being very unlikable as well. Phi Brain is the funnest shounen to sit back and enjoy... As long as you like puzzles... It helps when the very awesome tweets by @fathomlessblue are around to be read for it too!

Just looking at this picture offends me...

Ro-Kyu-Bu is easily the worst show I have watched all year long. While Onii-chan from winter was terrible indeed, it didn't fill me with nearly as much rage as Ro-Kyu-Bu did when I forced myself to sit through each and every episode. It's not even that the show is about lolibasketball. It's more the way it looks... Reminds me of CLANNAD! >.<

Cats in yukatas are cute!

Best Show of summer is obviously Nyanpire. Kitties doing cute things! That ED is the best ever!

Worst Show of summer is aside from Ro-Kyu-Bu because that's the worst anime to air this year, would be Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi. Did anyone seriously even like this show? So bad.

Gee I wonder what's happened behind that bar of light?!

Here's my big list of Best to Worst shows of summer 2011:

1. Nyanpire 10/10
2. Natsume Yuujinchou 3 10/10
3. Bunny Drop 9/10
4. Blade 8/10
5. No. 6 8/10
6. Dantalian no Shoka 8/10
7. Yuru Yuri 8/10
8. R-15 8/10
9. Kamisama no Memo-chou 8/10
10. Nekogami Yaoyorozu 8/10
11. Baka to Test to Shoukanju 2 8/10
12. Nurarihyon no Mago 2 7/10
13. Mawaru Penguin Drum 7/10
14. Kamisama Dolls 7/10
15. Manyuu Hiken-chou 7/10
16. Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel: Kyun Kyun Tokimeki Paradise!! 6/10
17. Ikoku Meiro no Croisée 6/10
18. Sacred Seven 6/10
19. Blood-C 5/10
20. Mayo Chiki 5/10
21. Double-J 5/10
22. The iDOLM@STER 4/10
23. Morita-san wa Mukuchi 4/10
24. Uta no Prince-sama: Maji Love 1000% 3/10
25. Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi 2/10
26. Ro-Kyu-Bu 1/10

Surprise enjoyment: R-15, Manyuu Hiken-chou, & Nekogami Yaoyorozu all did something weird for me in a good way. Most people didn't enjoy these shows but I found myself hooked. Anime about porn writers, cat Gods, and AMAZING boobs are fun things for anime to look at when your only goal is to have fun.

Surprise fail: I actually had serious hopes that Twin Angel would be good. The ova was so why couldn't the series be? ;__; Even though I gave Baka to Test to Shoukanju 2 a high rating I was still pretty disappointed with it like most people were. They should have kept to what they were doing right from S1, although honestly S2 isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

Honorable mentions: No. 6 DAT KISS. Blood-C DAT BIMBO. Mawaru Penguin Drum DAT PENGUIN.

Looks cute...

With so many shows airing during the spring it should be no surprise that my favourite anime of the year started airing. Yes, Gintama 2 is my #1 for the year 2011. It's great to see all the characters back and getting into wacky situations! That space arc was AMAZING!

If Hyouge Mono actually had timely subs it might be in this spot but I can't put it there comfortably since I've only been able to watch 10 episodes from a 39 episode series. Hyouge Mono is certainly awesome though and more people should watch it!

Thanks for the food! (that I'm about to murder!)

Best Show of spring aside from Gintama because that's #1 of the year would be Toriko. He's a manly man out to find the most delicious food. It doesn't matter if he has to kill it himself! Just look at those arms! I plan to re-start blogging this series in the new year so look out for those! GUTS GUTS GUTS!

Worst Show of spring is Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi... Harem... I don't need to say more. I hate most harem cookie cutter shows. Especially ones that come from eroge games...

Just looking at the picture makes me wanna barf...

Here's my big list of Best to Worst shows of spring 2011:

1. Gintama 2 (still airing) 10/10
2. Toriko (still airing) 10/10
3. Hyouge Mono (stalled) 9/10
4. Steins;Gate  9/10

37. Aria the Scarlet Ammo 2/10
38. Moshidora 2/10
39. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi 1/10

Lotte is adorable~

Surprise enjoyment: Steins;Gate took me by storm. I didn't plan on watching it at first but a friend convinced me to start it. It was like a super win with this series because I really thought it wasn't going to be good, like at all. Astarotte's Toy was pretty much written off by everyone. I too doubted it at first. After all when you see "Semen and 10 years old" in a first synopsis of the series it's hard not to be judgmental.

Surprise fail: Deadman Wonderland while it still gets a passing mark from me, it really needed more for it to be truly awesome.

Honorable mentions: Ao no Exorcist is awesome and no one can tell me otherwise. I hope we get more someday and I can't wait for that movie. Tiger & Bunny should have been a show I fell in love with right from the start. Somehow that didn't happen at first. It took a while for all the characters to grow on me too long for me to truly enjoy the show. Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream is SO girly but I can't stop watching it. I love ice skating and wanted to be one when I was a kid. I should probably write a diary post about it or something~

Winter is either really fun or kind of meh. Unlike the last 2 years this year I didn't get a 10/10 anime that aired which I found a little weird because pretty much every season I get one of those... "Everyone's"  top anime of the year/decade came out. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica was fun but I just couldn't get into it as much as everyone else. I do however love Kyubey very very much. I'd make a contract!  ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

Suite Pretty Cure has jumped to the top of the pretty cure franchise for me. It's quite awesome and exceeded my high expectations that Heartcatch created. I only hope that the upcoming Smile can match the awesomeness that has become Pretty Cure! <3 Siren!

The King of baka's!

Best Show of winter is Level E. It did wonderful things in a hilarious way. I laughed a lot. I only wish that it could have been longer. It needed just a little extra bit of something to be amazing. All the characters were really great. The show almost seemed like it was a parody of sorts for Men in Black since it was about aliens on earth but no one else knows about them.

Worst Show of winter is without a doubt is the oh so terrible Onii-chan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne... So bad that most people watched this show with sccsav while drinking because that was the only possible way to get through this show. Unless you are me of course! Everything about this show is offensive...

...just...no...

Here's my big list of Best to Worst shows of winter 2011:

1. Level E 8/10
2. Suite Pretty Cure 8/10
3. Wolverine 8/10
4. Fractale 8/10
5. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica 7/10
6. Beelzebub (still airing) 7/10
7. Gosick 7/10
8. Kore wa Zombie desu ka? 7/10
9. Supernatural The Animation 7/10
10. Kimi ni Todoke 7/10
11. Dream Eater Merry 6/10
12. Freezing 6/10
13. Mitsudomoe 5/10
14. Cardfight!! Vanguard (still airing) 5/10
15. Infinite Stratos 5/10
16. Rio: Rainbow Gate 5/10
17. Wandering Son 4/10
18. Dragon Crisis 3/10
19. Starry Sky 2/10
20. Onii-chan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne 1/10

Surprise enjoyment: Supernatural The Animation was quite enjoyable. It probably helps a lot that I haven't seen the American show it originally is. I really like that ED. Beelzebub started off pretty weak but after a while I sank in and started to really like the characters.

Surprise fail: Gosick I honestly expected much more from. Sure it has a pass rating from me but I really just wanted to be wow'd by it and that never happened.

Honorable mentions: Rio: Rainbow Gate! Sharks, Gambling, and boobs! Fractale is a show everyone hated on but I still got a lot of enjoyment out of it regardless. Wolverine was super fun and Landon agrees! Wandering Son is my most hated noitaminA show. The only one I hate actually. Which is hilarious because everyone loves it.

2. Thoughts on Winter Anime After 1 Episode
3. Tuesday Tally Week 5 February 1-7 Catch Up

As you all probably already guessed by reading my OVA review and the 1984 version, I'm not the hugest fan of Maya and her journey to become an actress... With that in mind I still went into this version with an opened mind. I expected a brand new take on the series and almost wanted to expect it to be good... Well... I got neither of those... The Kaleido Star vibe I got right from the beginning of seeing Glass Mask as my anime came full circle. I would gladly watch Kaleido Star again over Glass Mask and I didn't even like that show either!

 THE FIRST HALF OF THE 2005 VERSION IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE 1984 ONE!!! >.<

I couldn't believe it! I was watching for the 3rd time... that SAME STORY. The only difference now was that it had a better look. I'm not one that cares too much on how an anime looks, so I couldn't have cared less that it looked "better". The "saving" grace after the first half was that I was actually seeing more of the story. A more "complete" version.

Even though this time around the story kept going I still wasn't pleased. After all it's not like I care about any of the characters so I really didn't give a crap if they succeeded or not. I did however enjoy the more played up romance between Maya and Masumi. I also found it quite hilarious that his helper chick who later becomes Maya's handler was made out to be this evil, yet classy, all knowing person who could at any moment expose everything! It's hilarious drama like that that holds my interest. Even if it's predictable, if it's funny I'm ok with it. Although I'm sure we weren't suppose to find it funny but well I'm special. Hell I even found Maya's bulling from the other actresses hilarious! Her showdown with her rival in the end was completely pee my pants comedy.

THAT FUCKING PLAY THEY WERE OBSESSING OVER ALL SERIES SUCKS!!! ALL 10 MINUTES OF IT....... >.<

So yeah... Overall I'm not so impressed with this show or it's many remakes... -.- Thanks Secret Santa... LOL...

The therapist

Ghost Hound is about 3 boys in a small town. At first they don't really have anything in common but something is pulling them together. All three have had very traumatic experiences in their childhood they discover. This link between them makes it so they can travel through the "Unseen World".

This shot interested me a lot. (as pervy as that sounds)

I did things like that with my sister all the time when we were young.

I have no idea how to review this show because I loved it SO much. It's from the same guys that did Lain (which I love and is in my top 15 anime of all time) so it should be no surprise that Ghost Hound found it's way into my heart too. Like Lain it is a little hard to pin point the #1 reason why I was attracted to it but if I had to guess I'd say tone. Dark and mysterious without being too down to earth. There are wonderful sounds throughout the show that fits the moments 100%. These detailed noises were one of my favourite things about the show. When it wanted something to be creepy and strange did it ever work.  The look of the show is amazing to me. When the boys were traveling through the "Unseen World" it was quite something to see animated. When they first discovered this world I was honestly quite shocked but very interested in it's existence.

This is their "Unseen World" selves at first.

Dinosaur dog is awesome.

All the characters were amazing. Right down to minor ones. But with a show like this minor characters are always very important so it should be no surprise that they were wonderfully done. Minor character wise I'd have to say I enjoyed the therapist very much. No one in this show is what they seem and all end up coming together in the end quite well.

See why it's very Lain like?

If I could explain this I would... @.@

Overall: Holy shit it's been a while since I went into an anime expecting absolutely nothing and got AMAZING!
