New Anime! Lots of them!

It's a little late, but I'm sure everyone has noticed the slew of new anime this season.

I'm watching the following:

CLANNAD
Rental Magica
Night Wizard
Shakugan no Shana II
Shugo Chara!

So far, I'm loving them except I'm slowly losing my interest in Night Wizard. I don't know why I am since I love action and magic, but I really am losing my interest in it. Maybe if it gets more interesting, I'll like it again.

Naruto Shippuuden. Sai has finally showed up. I'm really happy about that. He's so funny. I don't know why so many people don't like him. He's great comic relief!

BLEACH. Everyone realizes we've entered filler mode again, right? Well, if not, then let me tell you, "We've entered filler mode again! DAMN IT!" I don't understand why they do this. -.- It pisses me off.



Shakugan no Shana II. I really like where it's going. We're finally dealing with character depth and relations.



CLANNAD. This is probably my favorite anime of the new season. It's different from what I usually like (such as action, magic, martial arts), but it's a very sweet and deep anime. Maybe that's why I like it? There's also such unique and cute people! You have to watch it. ^^ I've also fallen in love with its OP song.

Naruto Shippuuden 29 & 30 (Dattebayo)

Warning: If you're reading this, there can be spoilers. I would have taken some screenshots but my sister's computer doesn't have that option. Oh well.

Great episode. At least I believe so. Last episode was a total bummer though. Anyway, we finally see Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan! YAY! Nifty eye and even niftier dojutsu (techniques using the eyes).

Chiyo-baa-sama doesn't look like she's gonna last much longer. So I guess we should be prepared for a very possible character death.

And that scene with Naruto towards the end was heart wrenching. It was just so sad, it even pulled at my non-existent heart strings. But he's right. Everything happens to Gaara -- everything bad. If such a person existed in the world, I don't know how that person would live on... after going through so much.

Well, I won't say anymore about 29 & 30. :) Just watch it.

Naruto Shippuuden 16

Did that guy Zetsu EAT him? *stares at the last scene with morbid fascination* All these Akatsuki members are bonkers. Itachi seems the most sane out of them all, and that's not much comfort.

Anyhow, it seems Sakura finally knows some truth to the Jinchuuriki. It's very sad. Every time, the shots with Gaara having Shuukaku taken out of him show up, I feel grief well up inside me... Everything bad always happens to Gaara, like Naruto said and I can't help but agree. Why him? I know it's animated but this anime pulls at my heart strings. I can't even bear to to put up any images because I keep thinking of Gaara. -_- Naruto, please save him soon!

Back to the episode, it didn't have any action although that mechanical bird thing Chiyo-baa-sama summoned was kind of cute. Interesting jutsu. The entire episode was alright, but the no action kind of makes me frown. Naruto and Gai are both less than 100% now due to their jutsu. Kakashi is also a little scratched. Sakura hasn't done a thing so far. At least Chiyo-baa-sama sent a message.

Neji, Tenten, and Lee will probably have to take a rest soon too because Gai is out of commission for the time being. I must say I'm amazed at Neji and Tenten's growth. After all, Neji is the only one to attain the rank Jounin! Kyaaa~!! I'm a huge Neji fan girl. Rawr. I haven't seen Lee do much other than his normal Taijutsu but meh...

I've also been wondering something. If anyone can give me a plausible answer, I'll give you a cookie. ^-^

How can Lee stand on the water like he did in the previous episodes? Isn't he unable to use chakra?

BLEACH 126 + 127 & Naruto 14 +15 Reviews

BLEACH 126 + 127:

126: I knew Hinamori was going to be like this. The manga kind of spoiled it for me, but seeing it animated makes me kind of wish harm on Hinamori. She's so brainwashed. Argh. Another thing, I'm very glad Chad is finally getting stronger. Yay! Go Chad! He's an awesome character that's often shadowed by Ichigo's outrageous personality. This episode made me love Orihime more. She's climbing up my Favorite Characters List rather steadily. She's very amazing for a human. Her abilities if refined would be amazing.






127: Urahara totally pissed me off! The way he said it was just so ARGH! I understand that on the frontlines, Orihime would just get in the way without Tsubaki, but she could still be of aid in healing and shielding. Yes, the Arrancar know about her shielding abilities, but still! GRRR!!! Anyway, Hachi was very kind. I'm glad Orihime's cheered up a bit. Aizen though, is one creepy fuck.

This scene was so funny.

Naruto 14 + 15: Since the episodes were basically focused on one thing, I won't go seperating everything. A lot of people found it took a long time, but I think it's a good thing for the battles to be so drawn out. After all, there were two battles taking place at the same time. Gai was admittedly very cool when he beat 'Kisame'. Naruto was one hell of a powerhouse. o.o; I mean, I knew he was ridiculously powerful what with his enormous chakra reserves but wow. I didn't even think he had it in him to attack 'Itachi'. I'm in the middle of downloading episode 16 right now. I'll make a new post later after I finish watching it.

Oh, and no pictures, sorry. I kind of delete Naruto episodes after I watch them and I forgot to take screenshots before deleting them. My younger sister stores all the Naruto episodes and I store all the BLEACH.

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. ^^
