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...

365 Days of Anime Characters: Day 214/365 Kakashi Hatake

Day 214/365

From the anime Naruto, Kakashi Hatake is the leader and teacher of Team 7 consisting of Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura. His main ability is the Sharingan. This gives him the ability to mimic the movements and jutsu of others. He is able to summon a pack of 8 dogs whom help him with tracking. He has a very easy going attitude but knows when it's time to get very serious. He takes friendship and loyalty very seriously.

***The rest of this post is written by Tamerax. Wish him a happy birthday cause today is the big day!***

Why I like him:

1) He's the Barry White of the ninja world. Always cool.

2) 1000 years of pain. The greatest move in the history of all things awesome.  This gets 6 stars out of 5.  That's right...

3) Can summon dogs at any point (Is that sanitary? Where are they kept???) Still pretty neat.

4) He reads porn while teaching.  BOOYEAH!

5) His relationship with Guy is really amusing.

Why I hate him:

1) His hair constantly makes me think of this guy.

2) He probably also has the worse set of raccoon eye tan line... ever. He apparently was born with that mask on.  His face may look like that that thing from Blade 2 so that's why he doesn't take it off anymore.

3) He doesn't get enough screen time for stupid reasons like conveniently being away on missions or being in the hospital cause either he got his ass kicked by an enemy or some weird new technique wiped him out.

Overall: I really enjoy so many of the characters from this show. It was hard to pick just one so I went with the one I've enjoyed the longest cause he's been around since pretty much the start of the show. If you disagree with me, you are clearly a pinko and I will fight you.

Adventures with Naruto Part 3: Ninja tests take a long time

This adventure is from episodes 27-59. Basically about 4 arcs. I got happily surprised with a new OP. I hated the first one and would cringe if I heard even 10 seconds of it. Glad I'll never have to listen to it again.

The second exam ends and the third begins. But before it can start people need to be eliminated because there are too many that actually made it to the third round. So we get to sit around for 20 episodes while they do this. It's no wonder that the show is 220 because it takes them forever to do anything which is almost as bad as fillers. Luckily I haven't come up to those yet but I'm dreading it greatly.

41-42 bitch fight tie
43 another bitch fight
44-45 Naruto dog fight
46-47 clan fight
48-50 weird green man against emo dude

Those are the ones I remember XD I think there was 2 other fights before that but I can't remember cause... I watched them like 2 months ago and it wasn't very memorable. There is one last fight with Sasuke but my notes on it don't overly make sense yet again.

While they wait for exam 3 to begin Naruto starts a standing on water training. A weird dude that goes by the names, mountain monk, king of frogs or something will be training Naruto to learn summoning techniques. After many episodes Nartuo finally summons a giant frog who turns out to be a giant douche. Rather funny since the toad couldn't really believe that a kid like Naruto could summon him which is why he gave off so much attitude.

Since the summon technique is so difficult, Naruto ends up in the hospital because he used too much of his chakra. He slept for a long 3 days. During that time the sand boy gets all in their face (the teachers) and threatens to kill them all eventually as he runs off before he ends up dead because in fact the teacher had him cornered. Very odd thing to say as you are fleeing for your own life I must say.

The last episode I watched was the day before the third exam. I figured this was the perfect time to stop and take a rest. With more ninja tests to come I can only imagine how much longer it's going to take. I'm still not hating or even liking Naruto. Although I am leaning more towards disappointment because I find the pacing to be very icky.

Adventures with Naruto Part 2: 2 Recap Episodes

Watching this show it's better to think of it as episodic with hidden plot here and there. Very little gets relieved (if ever). I can't say I'm enjoying this series but I don't hate it either. I'll take a shounen action over a shoujo magical girl anyday. I don't really have a favourite character but if I had to choose someone who irritated me the least it would be their leader of team 7 Kakashi Hatake. His carefree badass attitude is pretty awesome.

The music has grown on me a lot more than I though it would. I still hate the OP with a passion but the rest is super cool. I have yet to run into much filler unless people consider long battles as that. (I personally don't) Tad irritating that they take so long but whatever. If Dragon Ball can get away with it (kinda), Naruto can too. One thing that drives me crazy is recap episodes. I would understand if they did it at like episode 50 or something. But to have not only 1 but 2 in 26 episodes is a little too much for me. I know recaps help when the show is current airing and whatnot but actually watching a bunch in a row just to be told what you watched 2 hours ago is a little silly to me.

This batch I watched episodes 5-26. I have no desire to go through what happened in each episode in detail so I'll do it the quick way. Yay note form.

Episode 5

Nothing happened. More training basically.

Episodes 6 - 9 (teehehe)

Ninja missions: Protect a drunk man who builds brigdes. We find out that Kakashi Hatake has some weird eyeball power which is why he wears his

headband the way he does. A battle begins with some dude from the water clan.

Episode 10-13

Ninjas are healing after their battle. They run up trees (more ninja practice). They meet a little boy with his mom.

Episodes 14-16

Recap.... for half the episode then battle with a person that controls ice begins plus the water clan dude is back.

Episode 17

The ice person tells their sad story. Naruto, because he is so enrages, brings out the power of the nine-tailed demon fox that he has been the host of since birth. (that explains the whiskers on his face... sadly I just put that together this episode...)

Episodes 18 - 19

*Spoiler* Death of the baddies *Spoiler*

Episodes 20-23

(Filler?) I actually don't know what happened in these episodes.

Episodes 24-25

Start ninja written test part 1.

Episode 26 (Special 45 minute episode)

Recap.... for first half. Second part of the ninja test begins.

First of all that eye thing of Kakashi Hatake's is pretty cool! Second, I enjoyed the battle with the ice dude very much. His story actually made me feel a little sad. Other than those 2 points I really don't have much more to say. The story is moving along slowly and so far this just seems to be about a boy learning to become a ninja with his friends. Which is fine and dandy but I need a little more awesome to be satisfied.

P.S. that's right I blogged about Naruto on my Birthday XD

Adventures with Naruto Part 1: Restart from the Beginning

I've been procrastinating with this show since it pretty much came out. It's childish ways just doesn't suit me when it comes to ninja's. I started the show up last year around November or so and watched about 15 episodes. I can honestly say I don't remember a thing about the show from those episodes. Which is never a good sign. Even if the show is a long running one (220 episodes), I should know what's happening in the show by the 15th episode at least.

So today with a lack of anything else of interest I wanted to start I decided to follow up on this journey through Naruto episodes. I have lots of people telling me not to bother and beware of fillers and so on. But honestly I kinda want to know what all the fuss is about. I truly know nothing about this series other than kids (young anime fans) love it, there's a lot of episodes to it (still airing), and it's about a ninja boy (in training). Oh yes, the manga is apparently way better than the anime but I don't care for manga that are super long (49 volumes and counting). Give me a one shot over that anyday.

First of all I notice the music... The first OP I consider to be one of the worst ever in anime. It makes my ears bleed... At least the ED is listenable but still weird in it's own way. The music during the show is pretty enjoyable though which is good. Intense power rock with flutes and drummers is really weird but pretty entertaining. Reminds me of Dynasty Warriors almost. The animation doesn't bother me. Animation *almost* NEVER bothers me. Hell I love Naked Woves and Kemonozume.

Episodes 1

Training is taking place and apparently it's important to know how to turn into a girl? O.o While this is a little funny and all it's still pretty weird. We then are thrown into a random fight over some scroll that is important... I don't really know why it's important but maybe I still wasn't paying enough attention. Something about revenge... Overall I dunno how anyone would want to watch more after that pretty crappy introduction episode.

Episode 2

Naruto takes on randomly training a little kid in his neighborhood. Boring and pretty pointless episode with more transforming into a girl. Filler starts here? O.o

Episode 3

Love is in the air... already and potty humour. From first kisses to broken hearts I'm not sure what happened.

Episode 4

I rather enjoy this ninja school they go to. It's so interesting for some reason. Especially the classroom it's self. Their teacher is pretty funny as well saying he hates then all. In this episode we also see the first "Thousand years of pain" joke done as well. It's going to be a long series. XD
