BLEACH 125 by Dattebayo!

The last few episodes weren't that bad but it wasn't that interesting either. This episode, it was very predictable. Ichigo would of course win over Hollow Ichigo and then practically pass out from exhaustion. Bingo! It did happen!

What I found awesome was Ichigo Hollow form was about to fire off a Cero at 'Love'. Too bad he didn't get to fire it. >>; I wanted to see the Destructive power of a Cero. *sigh*

Each of the Vaizards are pretty interesting and their powers are intriguing. The many kekkai (shields) that the fat one put up were all very interesting in my mind. That chained pillar one was an especially high leveled one I remember. Too bad it broke. ^^;

Now, I'm just worried about Orihime. I actually like her character and the OP is making me nervous. -.-

Oh, and that last part of the episode about Karakura Town being the target for making that key, wasn't it obvious? xD

Naruto Shippuuden 013 by Dattebayo!

A little late to write what I thought of the episode now, but might as well anyway. I'll post some screenshots too.


First of all, I can't stop laughing at Maito Gai! He has the WORST memory ever! How can anyone forget a face like Kisame's?! I certainly wouldn't be able to! Not to mention, he met Kisame when he met Itachi! With a pair like that, it's almost unforgettable, yet Gai manages it.

Oh, and his line, "Sou ka! Sono katana - sore ga omae no buki ka??" (I see! That katana - it's your weapon, isn't it!)

If I could face fault, I would have. I commend both Tenten and Neji for not having fallen over and into the water. And Neji's line made me laugh all the harder, "Mireba wakaru." (You can tell just by looking.)

Anyway, onto Kakashi Team (plus one old hag) vs. Uchiha Itachi -- or not quite so vs. because Itachi just STOOD there while they discussed his eyes. This really isn't very normal in Naruto in my opinion. Not many enemies just stood there. I guess Itachi has the patience of a rock. During that entire conversation, I was staring at Itachi and ignoring Kakashi's speech because I already knew about it, waiting and hoping, he'd make a move and just attack. I wanted some action! Only until the end of the episode did Itachi move (sort of). I couldn't tell if he actually did move or not because it was a genjutsu.

Overall, it was an amusing and somewhat action-packed episode. Let's see some real action the next episode. ^^

Anime: Lucky Star

This anime has absolutely no plot (as far as I know) but somehow, I'm completely addicted to it. I can rewatch any of the released episodes so far twenty times and not get the least bit bored. O_O It is truly amazing and strange.

Here are a few screenshots of the Opening.


From left to right is Tsukasa, Konata, Kagami, and Miyuki. They're the main characters.

Manga - Skip Beat!

I've recently -- a few months ago, started reading Skip Beat! It's a Shoujo manga, but a good one!

The story focuses on our main character, a teenage girl by the name of Mogami Kyoko. She followed her long time love Shoutaro (known as Sho to the rest of the world) to Tokyo when he left his small home town Kyoto to make it big as a rock star. He became very successful when his debut single made it to number one on the Oricon charts.

Kyoko finds out eventually that her beloved Shou-chan was just using her which unleashes her evil unforgiving side. Her once completely kind personality takes a strange twist and plunges into darkness. She joins the show business world in order to get her revenge against him. She even goes so far as to get a complete makeover with her new resolve. But will she manage it?

Here's a manga scan I colored in of Kyoko after her make over.

It's an intriguing and comedy packed series. So far, I'm up to Volume 17, skipped a few unscanlated Volumes along the way, but whatever.
