Tuesday Tally Week 1 Kick Off

Tuesday Tally brings you a huge list of what I have watched in the past week. I figured it would be a fun way to keep tabs on everything I watch. Especially just to see how much I watch in a whole week! I've kept things as spoiler free as possible.

Ok so here we go with some short thoughts here and there on each episode with some pictures that I thought were interesting. Bare with me as I figure out just how I want these posts to go for the next few weeks since they are a tad jumbled. ^__^

November 8th - November 15th

Monday:

Milky Holmes ep 4-5

Overall: I feel this show is quite similar to Twin Angel comedy wise sometimes but sadly overall it really isn't as good. I hope Twin Angel really does get that series that I keep hearing rumors about soon.

Bakuman ep 5-6

Overall: The show is progressing rather nicely. It is slow at times but it picks up interest wise that way. I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of what their manga is all about and wonder if it'll actually be made into one we can actually read at some point or possibly already has. I just thought about checking around for that right now and will do so later if I remember XD I like that they took their feedback from the publisher guy well. It wasn't all positive but it wasn't all terrible either. I really REALLY like that they are going to start giving feedback to each other now as well. Nothing can properly get done unless all parties involved feel 100% comfortable with how things are going.

When the publisher said to them "Gold = Cell Phone Number where Copper = E-Mail" I really laughed. Something about that was really cute to me.

Imouto ep 5-6

Overall: I can't relate to people "hiding" their hobby, but I know a lot of others out there can so I see why this particular subject was brought up. All I can say is a friend is not a friend if they don't accept everything about the other person, good and bad. The grandparents brought a lot of laughs to episode 6 and I think it was by far my favourite episode yet of the series. Especially since it didn't have the annoying little sister in it either except for boring fan-service. Why people want fan-service of that kid is beyond me yet it's anime so it'll happen no matter what. lol

Zakuro ep 6

Overall: The show has 100% gotten my pure love at this point. I'm in love with all the characters and it was delightful to learn about the twins sad past.

Bleach ep 293-295

Overall: I've noticed that when Bleach is actually dealing with plot episodes the recap bit in the front seems shorter. It use to take up a lot of time I found. Aizen is a huge jerk who loves to mess with people. I can't decide if I like this or not but I have a small feeling that Gin will end up being the full mastermind behind everything. I think we're in for more filler episodes very, very soon with the way pacing has been for these recent episodes.

Naruto ep 183

Overall: Whatever, untold fillers from the past. >.< *kicks naruto*

One Piece ep 472-473

Overall: Luffy takes a really, REALLY long time to run up to Ace. I think it's been going on for like 50 episodes now or something. If not, it sure feels that way.

Leda OVA - 80's person in a strange world romp 4/10 very forgettable.

Ai no Kusabi OVA - 90's yaoi with a PLOT other than fucking even though fucking has a lot to do with it XD 9/10 Super interesting and I can't wait to watch the upcoming series whenever that'll actually be released. I'd love to see this ova more fleshed out. harharhar.

Tuesday:

Yosuga no Sora ep 6

Overall: "From now on I can squeeze you everyday!" this show has turned into a hentai...

Heroman Extra 1

Overall: I'm not sure how this is an extra since it all did happen in the show if I remember correctly that is. at 3 minutes or whatever it really was it wasn't hard to watch. Maybe it'll make more sense when more extras come out?

Arakawa 2 ep 6

Overall: She has Parents??? The chick secretary reminds me of the snake chick from One Piece. I'm not sure why I just made that connection after all this time. "Will you come to Venus with me?" is such a great question and leads to some hilarious imaginary of them living on Venus. In the end the episode ended up being more serious than I expected it to be.

Victory Gundam ep 1-15

Overall: The youngest boy to ever pilot a gundam show. We have a pantsu masked man whom I'm not impressed with at all. The Gundam's transforming is super bizarre and just weird to me @.@ The thing I notice most is the moving music score that follows these intense scenes when shit is going down. There is already a huge body count and people do not know how to handle these things very well. I still hate Haro and the bad guys in this one aren't as likable as they have been in past Gundam's for me.

Wednesday:

Victory Gundam ep 16-36

Overall: Episode 26 was very @.@ You just gotta see it to understand. Episode 36 was also another @.@ moment that had to do with Uso's mother. The body count rises greatly and at this point I'm wondering exactly who will be left at the end of the series.

Ika ep 6

Bleach ep 296

One Piece ep 474

Overall: Not much to say here. Some laughs for Ika but the others just more slowly growing plot lines.

Thursday:

Victory Gundam ep 37-END

Overall: More lovely @.@ feelings with episode 38. No other series has actually made me make those kind of faces that often. Props to you V Gundam! The most memorable thing of the series is the body count and the fact that half naked ladies were sent out to "distract" Uso... YEAH! I still give the show a 5/10 but I may reconsider bumping it up after I mull it over a little more. Doubtful though.

Naruto ep 184

The World God Only Knows ep 6

Overall: Again not much to say about these 2 episodes.

Kuragehime ep 4

Overall: This show is win. The brother is pure awesome.

Friday:

Hime Chen Lilpri ep 31

Overall: Pumpkin time! Adorable Halloween episode and the girls were completely amazing in their costumes for their singing act. The cats in the show are now reminding me of the Onegai my Melody cats. I still have NO idea why I "like" this show...

Hakuouki ep 17

Overall: The show is ungodly slow. I'm still in love with the backgrounds since they are so beautiful. I really wish the story wasn't about vampire like creatures though cause that's a mood killer for me right there. >.<

Gundam 00 ep 1-13

Overall: The graphics are AMAZING and seriously make me drool. I haven't seen anything this pretty in quite some time. That's what I get for watching a lot of meh series though for the most part. So far I have the feeling that this is an updated Gundam Wing. I just get that feeling with these characters I suppose. I'm not too fond of the civilian sub plot right now and I really hope it has more to add than just comic relief in the future because that's all I'm getting from it at this point. The Russian commander is pure love at the moment. I can't really explain why. It might be that scar XD The drunk strategist is a nice addition but I don't like that a lot of the males look like females. I'm looking at YOU Tieria lol Celestial Beings are pretty darn awesome at the moment.

Saturday:

Gundam 00 ep 14-15

Overall: Shit is hitting the fan.

Sunday:

I DIDN'T WATCH ANY ANIME ZOMG

To be honest though I was sleeping because I was working at a rave all day/night Saturday.

Monday:

Arakawa 2 ep 7

Overall: Those bottle thingies in the beginning were so cool. I laughed a lot at the girls and boys spending time together underground to practive going to Venus.

Sora no Otoshimono 2 ep 7 -

Overall: A sinister angeloid appears and makes things complicated. The epic watermelon issue was hilarious!

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru ep 5-6

Overall: Not sure what that creature is that randomly appears. Pedobear? A dog? I do actually think it is a raccoon though. The show is starting to be very hit and miss comedy wise for me. LUTHERRRRRRR. CZARRRRR. <- funny stuff!

MM! ep 6-7

Overall: The show is just an excuse to have girls in M wear -.- Really tired of seeing this chick give this dude just what he likes thinking it will "fix" him.

Bakuman ep 7 -

Overall: They decide on another sci-fi manga to submit which I find a little risky but the point is to make the publisher see how much they have improved which is a good move to do if they want to compete with that HIGHLY eccentric prodigy kid.

Fortune Arterial ep 6

Panty ep 7

Overall: *Shrugs* I did enjoy some of the music in the 2nd half of panty though.

~~~

There we have it! That really is a lot of anime up there... lol...

Fall anime Season 2 Round Up

Sequels you always either look forward to them or dread them. Some people just instantly put a season 2 in their won't watch pile right away if they really hated the first series. I've not gotten the hang of saying NO to a season 2 yet so I've always been stuck watching them. Although this season ALL (ok well one doesn't count see the bottom of the post) of the sequels I actually have been looking forward to. We have a total of 8 this fall! If you aren't interested in sequels check out my mini reviews on all the new anime that is airing. Follow the links from post to post to see them all.

* Means I approve and look forward to watching each week.

To Aru Majutsu no Index 2

So far this lives up to my expectations. A few laughs, some nice action, and a plot.

*Yumeiro Patissiere 2

More fun baking time. The focus now is growing up, looking at boys, and managing her own Sweets Shop. At least the food aspect is still there. It's still very fun to watch this adorable show each week for me. Only one total disappointment from this season so far though. THE OP IS TERRIBLE. I want my Happy Happy Macaroon back please. Although I'm sure this one will grow on me too...

*Sora No Otoshimono 2

Fan-service, comedy, harem. Generally these words are POISON to me. In the case of this anime though it's something special. The way they parody everything is just AWESOME. With the addition of a new Angelroid the laughs have been upped greatly. All episodes so far have had me laughing till I almost cried.

Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan 2

I bet it'll be the same kind of meh as season 1 was. It is interesting but not interesting enough. Oh look it's the same. Meh. At least it's pretty.

*Arakawa Under the Bridge 2

This show seriously is the best comedy I've ever watched. Well one of them anyway. I love every character to bits! I love seeing the romance progress between out 2 main characters.

*Letter Bee 2

Lag cries still... But I won't scare off because of that. I love the way this anime looks and I always wonder if Niche will get to eat her Steakeeeee!

*Super Robot Wars: Original Generation 2

For some reason I didn't put this title on my preview post but oh well. I haven't played the video game it is based upon either and I actually hadn't seen it's season one or it's ova. So I watched those before starting The Inspector. I gotta say I was most impressed with season one so I looked forward to starting The Inspector and was not disappointed. I still feel I would like it even more if I did in fact play these games. Oh so many games around that I wish to play but will probably never get around to. OH WELL!

Motte To Love-Ru still not watching it just like I said. In truth I just haven't seen S1 and I don't see it as that big of hurry to get around to it.

~A Look at Anime to Come~ Fall 2010

Wait what happened to Summer 2010 you ask? Basically I was too busy with real life stuff. We threw an event that I made a lot of decorations for in July and since then there's been plenty of travel and birthday parties to tend to. Now that fall is on it's way and things are calming down again it's time to get back to being a hermit for me and watching current airing anime. Looking at this countdown site and some charts here and there, I've put together this little look of anime to look forward to for fall.

* means I'm looking forward to it... There's not much... Lets start with some season 2's!

~SEQUELS~

*Sora no Otoshi­mono 2

I love this show to bits. It's loaded with fan-service and the story is pretty darn cliche but I love all the characters to no end because they make me laugh.

*Yumeiro Patissiere 2

Ichigo Amino keeps up with her dream to be a great pastry maker! The show started off pretty meh to me but grew on me a lot as episodes flew by. Now I can't wait each week to see a new one. HAPPY HAPPY MACAROON FUN FUN GO!

*Arakawa Under the Bridge 2

The wacky cast is back for more adventures under the bridge they call home.

Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan 2

S1 wasn't that great but it wasn't too terrible either. I'll watch it for the sake of completion.

Let­ter Bee 2

I hope there's less crying...

*A Cer­tain Magical Index 2

Unlike most, I really enjoyed Index 1 and disliked Railgun. So I'm quite pleased that this is being made and hope it's just as entertaining as its S1.

Motte To Love-Ru

I know nothing about this show as I haven't seen the first one and have no intention of getting around to it this year or ever probably. Maybe when I run out of anime. Could be sooner than later. Bottom line. This is the only anime I will not be watching.

~NEW~

*Psychic Detect­ive Yakumo AKA Shinrei Tantei Yakumo

Well his red eye there gives him a special ability to see ghosts and spirits! Makes me think of Natsume Yuujinchou but with more mystery attached to it because he wants to help them get to the afterlife.

Panty and Stocking with Gar­ter­belt

Idol angels sent to Earth to fight ghosts... The animation looks totally interesting so I'm game.

Bak­u­man

Lots of manga fans are looking forward to this one. I have a feeling it may fall flat for me. But if the characters win me over it could be amazing. Boys helping each other make a manga just doesn't seem all that interesting to me. But if it is mixed with great characters and some comedy, it'll win me over like Doujin Work did.

The World God only Knows AKA Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai

About a guy who is good at playing games and winning 2D girls hearts... Righto. This one has a lot of hype around it like Bakuman but I'm skeptical about this one not being all that great.

*Iron­man

Hope it actually comes out this time I'm a fan of the live action movies and read a few comic here and there. So it shall be interesting to see in come to life in anime form.

Inva­sion! Squid Girl AKA Shinryaku! Ika Musume

Moe teaches you not to pollute the oceans or squid loving girls will come for you! lol I can't even begin...

MM!

This one makes me think of B Gata H Kei but it's the males turn to be all weird and perverted. (Like "normal") Instead of making it known like the girl in B Gata H Kei he tries to hide it.

Yosuga no Sora

Harem...

Togainu no Chi

Makes me think of Bus Gamer but I think this will actually go somewhere. Probably not far but I can hope. Survival, crime, war. I hope for lots of action and blood. The, from what I can tell, all boy cast seems interesting to me as well XD

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

I like detectives so it was only a matter of time before moe got it's hands on it.

Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto

Interesting robots I'll say that much. Kinda creepy actually. The idea sounds so generic though but there's a lot of people from a tonne of series I love working on this so who knows.

Otome Yokai Zakuro

"It’s the Meiji Era in a slightly alternate Japan" This sentence is so hilarious to me because looking at the picture above... DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO SAY "slightly alternate" XD I'm not sure who the target audience is here because of the "fox" ear girls and pretty boys in uniforms. It probably will be slow and boring but could be interesting if given a chance.

My Little Sis­ter Can’t Be This Cute AKA Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai

Lolicon bait. Sure to be a hit with most loli fans.

Sore­demo Machi wa Mawatteiru

A maid who wants to be a detective... oh why? Could have some laughs, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls

Maybe not quite Queen's blade since it's about "school girls". So I'll go with perhaps it's going to be what the Real Bout High School anime should have been!

For­tune Arterial

Has a Vampire in it... Harem... Eroge Visual Novel... It has already failed for me.

Kur­age­hime

I don't know about this one. It feels like it's going to be this seasons Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei but instead of a male it's a female. Throw in some otaku stuff of course.

Nougyou Musume AKA Agricultural Girls

 

This is going to be short 3 minute episodes about some girls that love to grow things. Hope it's good cause it looks adorable.

There's a bunch of ova's coming out but who knows when most really come out and well there's a lot of them that I haven't seen their series or really want to see. I'm looking at you Hidamari Sketch. >.<

At this point I have no idea which titles I'm going to blog. Suggestions welcome ^_^ Overall I'm kinda meh with this line up. I generally never complain about such things because there's always SOMETHING to look at. When only 2 new shows out of like 20 or so that I'm really interested in are airing it's kinda a let down.

First Impressions of Spring Anime Batch 3

3 more first looks. If you missed any of my other impressions of spring anime you can go here and here. Impressions for these are based on the first 2 episodes of the anime.

Arakawa Under the Bridge

A girl who thinks (who knows maybe she really is) an alien who lives under a bridge, a business man who depends on no one, a guy that dresses up like a Kappa, and many more strange people that we are still meeting = Simply hilarious. It's like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei but way more hilarious (Yes I know they are made by the same people). I love how Nino eats her fish. I know how weird that is to say but it's just something about her that makes her more awesome to me.

The OP is a lot of fun and the ED is too. Not hard on the ears at all. I'd put them on my play list. The animation is pretty but in that weird way. It always keeps you looking to see what weird thing they are going to do next. I'm definitely enjoying this one and can't wait to see more. It's random and very fun.

Hime Chen! Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri

Magical girls need to save fairy land. They get some help from crystals and cute (really annoying) little magical animals. Their weapon of attack is to sing and dance! This will make people feel good and somehow this will save fairy land. LOL Just like almost every magical girl series out there aimed at really young girls. It's cute but it's not me at all because I generally don't like these kind of anime because the singing drives me nuts (Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch >.<). With that said though oddly the OP didn't make my ears bleed. Yet the voice acting seems really off to me. Almost like bad acting honestly. If I had to choose which girl I liked the most it would be Rei (the purple one) her outfit is something I would wear.

Kiss x Sis

Where the ova was slow and mainly focused on the perverted side of things, the series is uber fast and while it does perverted too it's not quite as "thrilling" as the ova was. We were rushed through characters and their introductions felt fuzzy. The only thing people need to know is that these twins have a brother and they want to bone him but he is reluctant to give in to their temptations because well they are related. I can hear the cries of every male with this fantasy wanting to murder him and take his place while I watch it. I feel that this anime is just doing whatever it wants when it wants to make the viewer go WTF?! It does that very well. I will admit I laughed at the vegetable part. Only anime could make washing a eggplant try to look erotic. What she did with the cucumber later was pretty funny too.

Not much else to say here. If you need/like fanservice like this go nuts. I'd like it a little more if it was tastefully done like Futakoi Alternative was.
