Infinite Ryvius The Dinosaur Girl Kibure Kikki

chii — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 09:06:23 +0000

What was her point exactly? Unlike Flower Girl with her shitty "I must give Basara these flowers" goal, Kibure Kikki's one and only goal was to find the rest of her Dinosaur suit after some issues surfaced upon the ship Ryvius. A noble goal might I say so myself!

Nope

Here's her in Episode 21s ending credits! She gets stuck with the naked guy

It's just a flash of her delicious leg but she's in the Opening credits too! (right corner)

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!!!

Two Years of Blogging Complete!

So yeah here we are at year 2! wooooo

Picture done by rezi

I was going to do a much larger post for this but I have injured my wrist and shouldn't even be typing this. I hope it gets better soon so I'll be putting everything on hold blog wise for a bit longer to let my wrist heal as quickly as possible. I wanted to start the Toriko episodic posts up again next week but that again will have to be pushed back till I'm better and of course the Chibi Devi! posts will be on hold as well.

Picture done by gabaisuito-n

I will mention, (since I made people take a look at this post anyway) that I'll be bringing back my "365 Days" project next year! This time it's going to be titled: 366 Days of Anime School Uniforms 2012. 366 because next year is a leap year! I haven't fully thought out much of how these posts will take form yet but you can be sure that they will be fun and hopefully interesting. I've already created a few charts of anime school uniforms and I'll be showing those for every 30 uniforms that pass throughout the year in a sum up post.

Oh those adorable Kimi to Boku boys~

So look forward to another awesome year from Oishii Anime and thanks for reading even though the posting has been lacking lately.

Marshmallow DJ is the best thing I’ve seen in a While

From Yondemasuyo Azazel-san episode 6. It never grows old! For me at least! XD

Tuesday Tally Week 9-13 March 1 to April 4 Month Long Review

chii — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 03:09:22 +0000

So yup it's been a while. Why? Partially because I just kind of lost interest in blogging for the winter season because of personal issues I've been having. I also mostly only watched Detective Conan this month too even though that's not what this post will look like by the end... I completely caught up with Conan and I am most pleased with that because I love it a lot and put it off for far too long. Much like a lot of the other series I finally ended up getting around to as well.

The Lupin sexy

This "family" is weird!

March 1-3

Dragon Slayer,Devil Hunter YohkoOVAs

Lupin Season 1 episodes 1-23

Overall: I found Lupin to be quite fun honestly. The gags got a little old and the OP was completely hilarious let alone the music throughout the series but it was great fun to watch. I enjoyed watching Lupin doing his thing and seeing how he would get out of certain circumstances. I'm going to start watching the movies and specials next followed by season 2 and season 3. I think I've put off The Castle of Cagliostro for long enough!

Kyoran Kazoku Nikki episodes 1-26

Overall: This series starts off wacky and just keeps on going full on right to the end. It was another title on Digiboy's top list that I wanted to watch. He said that I should like it if I watched it in the right mood. Oh how correct he was. If I wasn't in the mood for weird and crazy I probably would have hated this but I was and enjoyed it a great deal. I loved how there were a lot of OP's and ED's. I still can't pick a favourite let alone a favourite character. I'll look forward to watching this again someday.

This never gets old!

March 4-6

G-On Riders episodes 1-14

Overall: I think I said enough about this anime here.

Detective Conan episodes 236-293

He's so girly I love it. I want his hair and sexy eyes

They wouldn't be true partners if they didn't fight a lot among themselves

March 7-9

Area 88 OVA

Area 88 episodes 1-12

Overall: I fell completely in love with this series and actually plan to watch it again soon. I love aviation in anime (thank you Macross Plus) and this certainly had a lot of it. The music in the series was electronic music based which interested me greatly. It made me feel almost like I was watching Macross Plus over again! The lead characters are great and the plot is pretty darn interesting.

AD Police Files OVA

AD Police episodes 1-12

Overall: This was meant to be watched after Bubblegum but I just wanted to watch it first for some reason. The AD Police take care of rouge boomers. Lots of action and very likable characters. The ova is one off stories where the series actually follows a somewhat straight plot.

The Fashion Boy is Cool OVA

George to Gerald no Bouken Movie

Overall: 2 rival mice set off on an epic journey to see who can get the "Dragon of Light" first and be the next leader of the mice world! It's fun and childish and full of adventure. Great to watch with kids.

Durarara Specials

Shounen Sarutobi Sasuke, Shisha no Sho Movies

Sauna party!

Building a Gundam party!

March 10-13

Detective Conan episodes 294-311

Bubblegum Crisis, Bubblegum Crash OVAs

Overall: Finally getting around to these 2 series that I should have watched years ago but put off for unknown reasons. Maybe so I'd still have awesome stuff to watch now who knows! I greatly enjoyed both of these and wonder just when we'll get boomers in real life.

Ikkitousen episodes 1-13

Overall: I was told I probably wouldn't like this series by a lot of people because of the fanservice involved. THEY ALL WERE VERY WRONG! I simply fell in love with it right from the start. It was hard figuring out who was who in relation to ROTK at first but after a while it got pretty easy. I can see why they would give the girls paper clothing to get ripped off during all the awesome battles because that just adds to the hilarity of it all honestly. I like strange adaptations like this a lot and this one being based on something I really enjoy made it all the more interesting. Seeing some of the characters that are male as chicks = win.

Mokei Senshi Gunpla Builders Beginning G OVA

Overall: This short ova was about building Gundams! I laughed at it at first but really got into it when it got all futuristic with how you could get in this machine and fight with the Gundam you built like a kids card game. It reminded me of Angelic Layer but WAY more awesome because well... I like mecha not dolls.

Mahou no Tenshi Creamy Mami vs Mahou no Princess Minky Momo Short

Overall: Watching this REALLY makes me want to watch both of these series a lot. Older magical girl is oh so awesome.

And this is the only thing I knew of before going into this show

Threatening her will do you no good

March 14-19

Detective Conan episodes 312-426, One Piece episode 489, Fairy Tail episode 68, Naruto Shipooden episodes 200-202, Bleach episodes 310-312

Mnemosyne OVA

Overall: I'm glad I finally got around to watching this. I enjoy the idea about this anime but I found that it tried too hard for shock value with all the sex and violence. Generally I'm all for that but they really did try too hard in what could have been a very enjoyable title. Hype disappoints me yet again but I don't regret watching it.

The bottom half has a daisy covering his junk!

NOMNOMNOM SWEET POTATO

March 20-21

Crying Freeman OVA

Overall: Just lol really. I finally sat down and watched this after only seeing a few parts here and there when I was younger. My bf actually has a VHS tape of it downstairs and just plain out warned me that it was bad. But the thing is... It's not all that bad but it's certainly not meant to be taken seriously. I'll never forget Freeman threatening a womans nipples or how he always had to battle naked for some reason. But if you have a killer tattoo like his why wouldn't you wanna fight naked!?

Adventures of the Polar Cubs, Run White Wolf Movies

Detective Conan episodes 427-469

Mitsudomoe episodes 6-8+special

Overall: Weird that there was only 8 episodes made for a season 2 but ok. It's still pretty hit and miss with me but the points that made me laugh REALLY made me laugh so it was enjoyable when that happened. The special is probably my favourite part of the entire series aside from the barrel episode in season 1. How can I say no to sweet potatoes in the last episode too.

Heartcatch Pretty Cure Movie

Overall: Pretty much the same feeling I got when I watched all the other pretty cure movies. It was a long episode with a decent plot and a lot of cute magical girl action. I think Heartcatch needs another movie though just because it's my favourite Pretty Cure series now.

Love Position, Legend of the Halley Movie

Overall: I really enjoyed this movie a lot. I was interested because this was apparently the first original animated video produced by Tezuka Productions. I loved Hi no Tori so I was pretty sure I'd enjoy this. It has similar themes and the main girl in it is so adorable. I highly recommend people check this one out.

New and improved?

Silly countries and their chibi fights

March 22-24

Detective Conan episodes 470-514

Bubblegum Crisis 2040 episodes 1-26

Overall: Watching this re-make of the ova's was rather fun. I still can't decide which I like more but I think it might be this series. I just found it a little more fleshed out and ended well. Not to mention we randomly got to go into SPACE at the end. Instant win!

Black Lagoon OVA episode 4

Overall: Episode 5 now please.

Haiyou Shorts episodes 1-12

Overall: I still don't know why they made more of this...

Hetalia World Series Shorts episodes 1-48

Overall: I didn't find this series as fun as the first season but it had it's moments here and there. I'll have to check out the movie soon.

I like that dragon even if it's a mean one

Lu Bu got even hotter

March 25-31

Detective Conan episodes 515-609

Overall: Finally caught up with this and I gotta say I'm most pleased with how the plot has progressed. This series really will go on forever considering we only get plot episodes here and there. But they come at just the right time when we are itching to get more info and starting to loose interest in the one off case episodes. I can't wait to see where they'll go next.

Silent Mobius Movies 1-2

Overall: Ok wow. These movies sucked SO HARD. They were nothing like I expected honestly and now I'm debating not watching the series that I assume will try to make sense of it all. We all know I'll watch it anyway though... So here's to hoping that it doesn't blow too.

Samurai Shodown Movie

Art of Fighting, Samurai Spirits, Ogre Slayer OVA

Ikkitousen: Dragon Destiny episodes 1-12+Specials

Overall: This one focuses on Liu Bei whom I have always really enjoyed too since he's always the main character in ROTK series for the most part being one of the "good" guys. Seeing him portrayed as a weak bookworm lady though was rather odd. But Guan Yu made up for that being in LOVE with him XD This was the most yuri undertone series of all the Ikkitousen franchise.

Ikkitousen: Great Guardians episodes 1-12+Specials

Overall: This season is my favourite and that's because they focused on Lu Bu for this one. He's probably my favourite ROTK character aside from Zhou Yu.

Ikkitousen: Xtreme Xecutor episodes 1-12+Specials

Overall: Bring on season 5! LOL

I'd be a little weirded out at this point

Friend or Foe?

April 1

Yu Yu Hakusho episodes 1-29

Overall: Super fun so far. It's like Hunter x Hunter but not as good mixed with some Bleach because of the supernatural effect. Most people find generic shounen fighting anime to be pretty boring but honestly it's pretty great if that's all you are looking for. It also helps that this one has a decent amount of plot but never gets in the way of the fighting. The version I have is pretty low quality but I'm just too lazy to get a better copy right now.

I can't get enough of hand planes!

Oh Conan will you ever solve this!?

April 2-3

Tide Line Blue episodes 1-13

Overall: I'll have a review coming shortly for this. Worth watching but nothing overly special either. Still really fun though.

Macross Frontier Movie

Overall: I think I enjoyed this a little more than the whole series put together. I like movie compilations for series a lot, if they are good that is. This one was pretty darn good but I'd still recommend that people watch the series first for all those other little goodies that they left out of the movie. Some of it was rushed but they got all the real important stuff in there that anyone should really care about. I can't wait for the next movie!

Detective Conan Movie 13

Overall: By far the best Conan movie that they have made so far simply because it was about the plot and not just a one off story. I highly suggest not watching it unless you are past episode 500 or somewhere along those lines in the series.

Gintama Movie

Overall: So glad to have finally seen this. Sure it's something I have already seen already in the series but the intro and the end were SO worth it for more laughs. I hope they make all of these "serious" arcs into movies eventually!

Ah the Phoenix

See! That's what Wolverine is suppose to look like!

X-Men episode 1

Overall: KYAAAAAAAA It looks so awesome! Wolverine actually looks like what he's suppose to now! This was the Marvel adaptation I was looking forward to a lot and since the first episode didn't disappoint I'm hoping the rest will be great! The OP gave me goosebumps after I viewed it too!

Chicken man is hilarious!

These girls are pretty funny

April 4

Yu Yu Hakusho episodes 30-53

Overall: Looking forward to more fighting and strange monster creatures!

Chinese Gundam Does A Little Dance

chii — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 00:18:21 +0000

I can't stop laughing or watching this! Hilarious! Found while viewing A Take On The Chinese Gundam very interesting stuff!

Tuesday Tally Week 2-4 Oi! January 11-31

chii — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 02:52:06 +0000

So yeah the goal was to do this every week no matter what... BUT of course things just get in the way now and then and it was impossible for me to do for 3 weeks... The good news is that I didn't overly watch a lot of anime in those 3 weeks. Uncharacteristic like for me but real life just stepped in for the month and everything was pushed back anime blog wise. Although the title mark in this post looks huge it was mostly just small ova's and movies. I've gotten back into my anime mood over the last few days so I think things are back to normal!

^________^

January 11-16

Trigun Movie re-watch x2

Overall: I actually watched it 3 times total now since it came out. I find it very fun to watch and my second viewing was with other bloggers over Skype. Interesting to see others reactions to it. Too bad I had to leave half way through the viewing.

Gintama episodes 62-86

Overall: Episode 79 with the toilet paper crisis is probably my favourite episode of Gintama of all. It just makes me laugh a hell of a lot! It is also time since I've reached episode 86 that I am not re-watching episodes anymore and from now on every Gintama episode will be new to me.

Starry Sky episode 4

Overall: These voices don't match these douches at all. I can't stand it. I'm considering dropping it at this point.

Kamichu episodes 1-5

Overall: Kamichu is the first title I decided to watch that I haven't seen yet from digitalboy's top 100 list. It has a very slow start so I'm afraid that I won't end up enjoying it as much as I had hoped. 4 20:22

Well I suppose this didn't need to be added to Final Fantasy o.o

Final Fantasy Legend Of The Crystals OVA

Overall: Each episode takes a look at one of the 4 crystals. I can't say it adds anything to Final Fantasy in general but it was a fun watch. ep 2 7:00

Gintama episodes 87-88

Wandering Son, Kimi ni Todoke, and Fractale episode 1 was watched. Thoughts on these are here. I watched 7 episode 2's for some of the current airing anime too, but nothing worth mentioning since I can't really remember anything from them and didn't take proper notes.

Love Stalking *click to read*

Finished the Manga Love Stalking

Overall: This is a short smutty manga where each chapter (there's 4) follows a girl and her strange love life at the time. I enjoyed the sexy parts and only one of the stories so this gets a 5/10. The title doesn't make much sense either since only one of the stories involved stalking...

What a pro eroge VA

The high school girl not so much... YET!

January 17-25

Koe de Oshigoto! re-watch

Overall: This is one funny ova about a high school girl who decides to learn how to become an eroge voice actress.

Gundam Seed episodes 20-25

Level E episode 2

Overall: I'm suppose to be episodically blogging this series but... Yeah... I'll do a batch episode release this week hopefully and get back on track. Simply loving this series though!

Gintama episodes 89-90

Your Color *click to read*

Finished the Manga Your Color

Overall: Really short yuri manga that doesn't really go anywhere 5/10.

Ikenai Candy Love *click to read*

Finished the Manga Koi wa Tenka no Mawarimono - Ikenai Candy Love

Overall: Meet a really shy quiet working girl who is about to loose her job. She happens to see a higher up getting a blow job in the alley way and things start to pick up for her from that point on. This manga actually has 4 other stories in it (I think) but only this one has been translated. I shall be eagerly awaiting the others in hopes that they were as good as this one was! 9/10 easily.

Naughty Honey *click to read*

Finished the Manga Naughty Honey

Overall: 6/10 I don't have much else to say about it honestly...

Girlfriend *click to read*

Finished the Manga Girlfriend

Overall: Another compilation manga showing off girls and their loves. Some are good most are rather meh. 2 of them actually ended up intertwining story wise which I found to be most interesting. I feel that my 7/10 is generous but I did enjoy the ones I found that were good very much.

January 26-27

Andersen Douwa - Ningyo Hime Movie

Overall: Lets just say that this does not have a Disney's happy ending. Pretty good watch even though I viewed it over youtube.

Zenryoku Usagi episode 39

Twelve Months Movie

Overall: I had heard great things about this movie from a friend and it didn't disappoint! It was a fun story about a Cinderella type girl who was used and abused by her adoptive mother and sister. Sent out on new years eve to gather a basket full of flowers for the spoiled rotten Queen that is no older than a girl because she offered a basked full of gold coins. The poor freezing girl luckily ends up meeting some mysterious men who happen to represent the 12 months of the year! Since this girl is so kind they help her out with the gathering of these flowers due to their magical powers. Also viewed over youtube.

Gag Manga Biyori Jump Festa

Tell me what YOU see here

Yumeiro Patissiere OVA

Overall: This was one strange little ova since it made me think of perverted things when it totally shouldn't have. The rest of the series wasn't like that so why do it in the OVA?!

Cool Cool Bye OVA

Suteneko Tora-chan Movie

Overall: This adorable cat themed 1947 movie short is great. It's like a cat opera which I found most amusing.

Noel's Fantastic Trip Movie

Overall: The name says it all in this case. You really do feel like you should be tripping over some drug to find it enjoyable. With it's pretty bad looks and terrible singing I recommend passing this one up for sure.

Just one of the glasses girls in Megane na Kanojo

January 28

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Parallel Works

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Superman Legend OVA

Overall: Random last minute pick for my Snack of the Week.

Megane na Kanojo OVA

Overall: Each episode follows a girl who wears glasses. It's short and sweet. It definitely could do with more stories as these ones were fun.

Yuri Seijin Naoko-san OVA

Overall: Meet an alien girl who is obsessed with human little girls. Yup this one is for the yuri loving lolicons out there.

Aki Sora: Yume no Naka OVA

Overall: Watch this as a soft core hentai only. Do not expect a mind blowing plot.

Crimson Wolf OVA

Overall: This ova ended up being really awesome. I mean it wasn't anything special but it certainly did what it set out to do. The poor girl that was in this almost never wore any clothing. She was either in the shower being attacked or clothing was being ripped off. Not to mention the numerous times she wore just a man's shirt. Hell she was even naked in flashbacks!

Black Lagoon OVA episode 3

Overall: The action certainly was more pleasing from the lack of it in episode 2. My Chang got pretty sassy with Rock over the phone which I found to be most amusing. The head maid that the little master has been trying to find shows an interesting side that he just isn't ready to deal with. I honestly was a little shocked by her actions too.

Gintama episodes 91-94

Off to the God world for the first time

Our little Gods best friends

Cat Fight Club!

January 29

Kamichu episodes 6-16

Overall: With the super slow start I complained about earlier in the month I was rewarded when episode 8 came around. It revolved around a cat world fight club parody. It was the most interesting cute thing I had seen in quite some time. Especially since the leader cat was appropriately called Tyler. From that episode onward the time flew by and before I knew it, it was over. I was rewarded with a great ending that I really loved and won me over completely for the show. Someday I'll have to give it a proper blog post but for now this will do. I see why it is on digitalboy's top 100 list and I approve ^_^

Shin Koihime Musou OVA and Live

Overall: Yet another fun filled ova enters this franchise. It wasn't anything special but it was still fun. What was really odd was the Live. It was some of the girls singing tracks from the anime in a concert setting. Quite bizarre honestly.

Abunai Sisters episodes 1-2 ongoing? OVA

Overall: w...t....f...

Bungaku Shoujo Memoire OVA

Overall: After watching the movie with some skepticism on my part and ended up enjoying it I certainly looked forward to this ova. Each episode can be watched as a stand alone but none really left an impression on me except for the 2nd one. It was really depressing and heavy on the drama.

Prefectural Earth Defense Force OVA

Overall: This is a delightful parody anime where people get turned into cyborgs and they must fight the evil Telegraph Pole Society. With a description like that what's not to like!

Riki punches hard

So hard that...

...He's jaw "fell" off!

January 30

Riki-Oh OVA

Overall: I first watched the live action movie with my boyfriend several years ago. It was bad but so bad in the way that it was great entertainment. I expected pretty much the same from the ova and that's what I got. I really wish that ova 2 was available somewhere.

Mirai Nikki OVA

Overall: This seems like a Death Note but slightly less serious as it has turned into a game of sorts among kids. If it ever turns into a series it could be interesting but I won't have high hopes for it as this ova was pretty average.

Prism Mergical: Prism Generations OVA

Overall: Well... The only thing I can say about this magical girl show is that it was only 15 minutes of my life... I did enjoy seeing a magical boy though.

Quiz Magic Academy OVA 2

Overall: I never actually thought a second ova would come out of this considering that it's first one was rather mediocre. Sadly the mediocrity didn't leave and I was still left wondering why it was made. Not a terrible watch by any means though. Think of it along the lines of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu.

Tall and short! Cute ^_^

Hiyokoi OVA

Overall: Is an ova about a really shy short girl that gets seated beside a really tall loud boy. It's short and rather cute. I'd watch the series of this if they ever made one. It could rival Toradora in my opinion.

Gintama episodes 95-99

Overall: The Shinsengumi arc is super duper awesome. It rivals the more serious Naruto and Bleach ones for sure!

Wild 7 OVA

Overall: This was my pick for the Chii & Kira Anime Watching Club. I haven't finished my review of it yet but lets just say it's completely opposite of what Kira thought about it. Check out her review while you wait for mine!

Koi Suru Boukun OVA

Overall: I hated this yaoi ova with a passion. It takes a lot for me to hate on a yaoi generally but this one was just downright bad. I'll take less rape in my boy love shows thank you very much. This show should probably go on my does not want list. >.<

Dragon's Heaven sure is ugly...

January 31

Gintama episodes 100-105

Licca-chan Fushigi na Mahou no Ring OVA

Dragon's Heaven OVA

Overall: Words can't really describe how this ova started off. It was basically a real mecha model just being shown off. Very strange. Once the real ova starts you are graced with what I think is one of the worst looking ova's ever. From what I've seen only California Crisis can rival it's shitty looks. Then again both are pretty shitty story wise too...

Saishuu Shiken Kujira Progressive OVA

Overall: This is actually a 12 episode 5 minute series to begin with. Generally I don't watch the ova's of these kind of shows before actually viewing the show but for some reason I viewed this. It isn't a bad tale of magic sick girl meets a boy and tries to have a normal life for once but it's not something I'm going to remember next year.

Episode Count: 80 + 26 Specials/OVAs + 6 Movies

Manga Count: 5

Tuesday Tally Week 1 Starto! January 1-10

chii — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 04:52:37 +0000

So honestly upon thinking about this project more I REALLY should have started it when I started my blog. It would have been amazing to been able to have seen my stats from last year but oh well. I can do it for this year though so starting fresh is best here! I started off my year in a house somewhere in the middle of Vermont nothingness. I had a great time and oddly was able to watch 30+ episodes of anime while surrounded by rambunctious friends.

^__^

January 1-3

Kuragehime ep 11 END

Overall: It was rather unfulfilling first episode of the year but I still love this series to bits even if the last episode was lackluster. I really hope we see another season of this show someday because I think it was brilliant and really funny. We need some darn closure too! Don't make me go read the darn manga, but oh wait... That's not even finished either!!! It all makes sense now!

Joon-sang and Yu-jin as teenagers

Winter Sonata ALL

Overall: If you love your drama to keep coming over and over again before you can take a deep breath this show is for you. It's a lovely Korean made anime that is beautiful to look at and it'll make you fall in love with all characters. Starts off with the character as children and they GROW up! I love anime that do this so I was taken with Winter Sonata in a heartbeat. 8/10

Heroic Age episodes 1-6

Overall: Great start to this series honestly. I've been craving a great space opera anime for quite sometime now and this certainly wet my lips.

Arakawa episodes 12-13

Overall: Very interesting and fun way to end the series. I'm still not sure what's up with it but I hope we'll see more someday. I love everyone that lives under that bridge!

January 4

Gintama episodes 1-17 (re-watch)

Overall: It's good to finally get around to this wonderful series. I'm starting from scratch again because I'm watching it with my boyfriend and it'll be more fun that way. He's loving it so far and I'm getting more out of it funny wise a second time around for sure.

Heroic Age ep 7-18

Rio: Rainbow Gate episode 1 was watched as well but I'll talk about that more in a Winter Season Start Review post coming up soon.

Stay strong my trannies!

January 5

Gintama episodes 18-28 (re-watch)

Overall: This batch holds some of my most favourite episodes. The tranny episodes were just awesome and the epic meat battle will never get old no matter how many times I watch it.

Kimi ni Todoke episode 00

Overall: Did we really need this kind of episode?

Starry Sky episode 2

I love me some space ships

Heroic Age episodes 19-26 END

Overall: I'm honestly still putting my thoughts together on this one. I'll definitely need a re-watch of it at some point too. I really, really loved it but it's hard to explain why. It has a lot to do with it being a Sci-Fi SPACE show with kick ass "mecha" like creatures. I enjoyed the music and animation a lot and the OP and ED were great. All the characters were liked except for the twins... I don't understand too much why they had to be the comic relief but there they were! Great show and I highly recommend! 9/10

January 6

Gintama episodes 29-36 (re-watch)

Naruto Special

Overall: It was a boring fight. I did enjoy that it was 6 minutes or whatever compared to the 10+ episodes it took in the actual series.

Sweet sweet pew pew power

Gundam 00 Movie Trailblazer Crap

Overall: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhg.... Was a great way to start off my "Snack of the Week" project though!

January 7

Gintama episodes 37-43 (re-watch)

>.<

Starry Sky episode 3

Overall: This show is fucking SO ugly.

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls Special 2

Overall: Kissing guide! lol...

Infinite Stratos, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Yumekui Merry, Gosick episode 1 was watched for all but once again more details will be included in the Winter Season Start Review post coming up soon.

;___;

January 8

Gundam Seed episodes 16-19

Overall: It certainly was an emotional few episodes. I'm not liking this sand arc too much but I'm told that it's not all that bad so here's to hoping! Episode 19 at the very end made me a little sad for Sai honestly because everything has just gone to shit for the poor guy. *shakes her fist at Flay*

Gintama episodes 44-51 (re-watch)

Overall: Episode 50 has been one of the best episodes yet. It has about a million different parodies and references in it which was highly amusing. This show just rocks so hard!

Attraction Studio 4°C Short

Overall: This is all about not smoking. As weird as it is, it is also very interesting. Especially since you can actually interact with the show but only 4 times and it just involves clicking where they tell you to and wiggling the mouse back and forth. I highly suggest you check it out if you are a fan of Studio 4°C.

Cardfight!! Vanguard, Freezing, Oniichan Crap, Beelzebub episode 1 was watched for all but once again more details will be included in the Winter Season Start Review post coming up soon.

Brother *click to read*

Finished the Manga Brother

Overall: I didn't like how they kept telling the situation at the beginning of every fucking chapter. That was super annoying because it was rather short being only 2 volumes. I thought that the younger brother looking older than the real older one was just weird. 18-23 years old were the siblings which was a little odd at times. The sex was pretty darn hot though! Only check it out if you aren't afraid of yummy man sex! XD

Oh Vash!

January 9

Gintama episodes 52-54 (re-watch)

Trigun: Badlands Rumble Movie

Overall: Very much <3 I'll gush about it more for this weeks Snack.

January 10

Gintama episodes 55-61

Dragon Crisis, Kore wa Zombie desu ka, Wolverine, Mitsudomoe episode 1 was watched for all but once again more details will be included in the Winter Season Start Review post coming up soon.

Overall: I picked a GREAT anime to episodically blog about this winter season.

Episode Count: 138 + 3 Specials + 2 Movies

Manga Count: 1

Tuesday Tally Week 5-8 End of Year

chii — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 04:59:36 +0000

I didn't forget about this! I just got so busy for December that there was no time to do one. So This one will be short and simple. The list consists of a lot of fall anime and since I already talked about those in my 2010 Fall Review post there is no point talking further about them here unless I have a special moment I wish to share. So here's some fun pictures from everything I watched over the month of December and a little bit of talking in between! I'll be starting the next Tuesday Tally from January 1st onward. I think this is the best way to start off the new year since it'll be way more fun of keeping track of ALL the anime I have consumed in a whole year by starting fresh!

This was hilarious to me!

Week 5 I started off with some Not so Secret Santa picks so Black Heaven, NightWalker, Hitohira, and Shion no Oh were watched.

Melody of Oblivion episodes 9-11 were watched and it's still pretty @.@

Kuragehime made my night with this episode

I watched some anime with the Skype anime viewing group for the first time and ended up sitting through Amagami SS episode 23, episode 4 of Tamayura and Kuragehime episode 8 I watched once on my own and once with the group. Overall that was a fun first experience but hope to do shows I actually care about in the future and that I haven't viewed already.

Ika has the best drawings ever!

The rest was just Fall airing anime that ended up having nothing worthy of a mention.

!!!

Week 6 Starts off with more current airing anime but I shall only talk about Bleach from that. WE SAW GINS EYES! That is all...

I also re-started Gundam Seed this week and got through 7 episodes. The first time I watched episode 7 I was pissed at the end of it and this time around I felt even more rage oddly enough!

Yosuga no Sora is uh oh...

If you've seen ep 11 it you know what this is

Yosuga no Sora episode 11 deserves a moment here. Sora, Haru, Sora, Haru, Sora, Haru, Sora, Haru, Sora, Haru... Urgg this show is pure crap.

My last Not so Secret Santa anime, Akagi was started. I got through 12 episodes before friends arrived for the week.

Creepy good how I love you Zakuro.

Week 7 I finished off Akagi very slowly but got it done before I posted about it on the designated day.

More anime group blogger watches started happening around Christmas time and what better show to pick than the happy go lucky Gundam 0080! This was a re-watch and honestly I was glad to watch it along side some super Gundam fans out there. I didn't like the OVA the first time around watching it on my own but with this re-watch I certainly appreciate it even more now. Those hamburgers were delicious!

Why Naruto? WHY?!

Snot bubble coming out of a frog? Lilpri that's adorable!

Star Driver's croc was pretty darn awesome too

Katanagatari episode 12 I finally got around to and lets just say. BEST ANIME OF 2010! More random fall airing anime episodes were watched.

Awesomely nasty

You are one badass dude

You are one creepy little lady

More awesome nasty

In order to complete my anime goals for 2010 Shiki needed to be restarted since I had pretty much dropped it at episode 10 for being super lame and boring to no end. Man am I ever glad I picked it back up again. Episodes 11-13 were rather dull but gaining re-interest and when episode 14 hit I was hooked. I ended up watching it none stop all the way to episode 21 and ended up eagerly waiting for the final episode to air on new years eve. The end episode was something...

More weird Melody Of Oblivion was watched and it's still very @.@

Nurarihyon no Mago sake cup is really pretty here

Week 8 I decided to finish off straggler anime before I left for new years. So that meant picking up the Spring old K-on II. All I can honestly say is blaaaaaaaaa BUT I did find it hilarious that the bf was interested in it but ONLY because they had actual sponsored instruments in the show and he liked that.

Blood will attract the fishies!

Terrifying...

oh look another snot bubble

Star Driver and Bakuman were caught up with from episode 9-13 for both. I gotta say I've completely enjoying these 2 series even though the majority of people aren't.

Boy bathtime so much fun!

*click*

For some reason I watched episodes 1-3 of Haiyoru! Nyaru-ani: Remember My Love(craft-sensei). But then again I know I only watched it because I watched the other 2 minute 9 episodes of Haiyoru! Nyaru-Ani before. These ones are only 4 minutes now so no brain damage occurred.

Starry Sky episode 1... Theres a lot of stars in the sky! The lead boys mom looks like she is his age which is a tad disturbing. But not as disturbing as his SUPER girly looking dad.The art honestly looks like they just took the manga and coloured in the pictures poorly.

Best herd ever?

Melody of Oblivion was finished off and honestly... I still have no idea what I watched... I didn't hate it though that much is known.

Samurai Girls I started from episode 6 straight onto 12. I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much if I didn't watch it in one scoop like this. The art is definitely something to marvel at though.

Gundam Seed episodes 11-15 were watched and they are all new ones for me now. I don't have much to say about it at this point but I did enjoy the odd kind of recap in episode 14 showing the gundam models as a report.

blaa blaa blaa

Love the looks on their faces

His is the best one though. Probably going to be my thoughts for the entire series

Winter Sonata I had started back in 2009 but subs were slow so I stalled it. Since I wanted some fun anime to bring with me on my new years trip I figured it was the most logical choice. After all I consider anime I actually want to watch fun anime even if the subject at hand is pretty darn harsh and dramatic. Which Winter Sonata will throw at you many many times. I only watched episode 0 which is basically a long plot episode and then the first episode of the series. I had seen both before but watching them again as a refresher was good for me.

Pretty Cure's magical silhouette sequence is awesome... Just sayin...

YEAH!

December was a busy month but was fun! Lots of anime watched and many more to come!

Happy New Year and Look! More Anime Resolutions

First of all Happy New Year!

Picture by mushoku no hourousha

I spent my new years eve countdown in a house with lots of friends somewhere in Vermont. We stayed there for 5 days and had a lot of fun. While there I didn't think about anime or blogging very much and I have now returned ready to face the new year with some fun goals. I have some personal goals in here again along with my lovely anime blogging ones. Last year I did this as well and I'm happy to say I pretty much have completed everything on the Anime side of the goals list. I do still have Gundam Seed and Chrono Crusade to finish off but they are slow watches because I've been buddy group watching them. The only goal I flat out failed was reading manga that wasn't just One Shots. It's really hard for me to sit down and read I guess which is hilarious considering watching anime is basically reading!

One thing I would like to talk about while I got your attention is my 365 Days of Anime Characters posts. They are complete now and I seriously had a lot of fun doing it. I hope everyone had fun reading them even if I choose a character from a show you haven't seen. The goal was to make some lesser known series more known or to at least have people say to me "I'm gonna check this out, thanks!" I got quite a few of those responses which pleased me very much. I won't be continuing this project this year but I might bring it back again in 2012 or later. (Don't hold me to that though haha.) So instead, in the next week or so I'll be starting a new series that will be only once a week. I don't have a name for this project yet but it'll probably be along the lines of chii's Movie Pick or something like that. So look forward to it. If you have a movie suggestion leave a comment and I'll add it to my list! Once again, THANK YOU for reading the Anime Character Series!

Here's my goals for 2011!

Picture done by shion (kizuro)

Anime:

Read more manga (not just one shots)
Watch all anime that starts airing in 2011 (some exceptions apply)
Watch the titles I have not seen on Digiboy's top 100 list
Watch the straggler anime I still haven't finished from 2009 to present
Make more crazy top whatever anime lists
Instead of just reading everyones blog posts actually comment on them more
Attack Shinmaru and Prede's Anime-Planet lists and watch all that they have that I haven't
Watch those really popular shows I have been putting off for some reason
Pick ONE show from each season and episodically blog it (hopefully keep it to 12-13 episodes)

Suggestions for which shows to blog each season will be most appreciated! Level E is in the lead so far for Winter.

List of anime on Digiboy's list I will watch:

Pani Poni Dash
Kyouran Kazoku Nikki
Darker Than Black*
Bamboo Blade
Kamichu
Neo Ranga*
Genshiken*
The SoulTaker

* means I'm looking forward to it and was going to watch this year anyway

If anyone has suggestions for other possible popular stuff that I haven't already seen just leave a comment. This obviously isn't a complete list but I thought 25 titles up there were good enough for the moment off the top of my head.

Personal:

Continue Pokemon Workout to loose that weight
Try to get into a proper routine
Still figure out more ways to make money working from home
Try to get in better health so I'm able to get a job (STILL not too sure how to handle this one)
BE HAPPY
