Awesome, really awesome news people! To Love-Ru Darkness, the more ecchi, gorgeous sequel to the original TLR manga with Momo and Yami as the main characters, is getting an anime. As long as it’s uncensored and keeps the same great art as the original, this sounds terrific!

Ano Natsu de Matteru, final episode

Well romance anime Ano Natsu de Matteru comes to an end, with a very good last episode, especially the second half. Admittedly, the whole alien thing got too weird and almost out of hand (although in the end it’s more like the end of a running gag regarding Lemon; as I’ve always maintained, just make Ichika a foreign girl studying in Japan during that memorable summer and you have the same -great- story), but the second half was able to become emotional, nostalgic while giving us a reason to feel happy that things just didn’t come to a sad and abrupt end, with Ichika wearing that Bolivian outfit to tell us that she actually got back. Even if she’s not my favorite girl (I was supporting Kanna) it’s hard not to feel sad when our cute meganekko alien has to leave under such circumstances, and to be delighted there’s more than enough room for hope!

Rinne No Lagrange ends… and season 2 announced!

[NemDiggers] Rinne no Lagrange - 12 [720p] [H264 AAC MP4].mp4_snapshot_23.36_[2012.03.26_17.24.06]

Awesome, sweet-and-sour ending to Rinne No Lagrange. In fact, this way of ending the episode was really well-crafted to make you feel both a little sad, both a little happy everything turned out OK, and also a little nostalgic, only to go OH YEAH SECOND SEASON COMING SOON at the end. Rinne No Lagrange has been my favorite anime of the season. I love animes about friendship, especially among girls (and yeah, especially if some yuri is implied!), and Rinne No Lagrange managed to have action, bad guys (although their motivations aren’t that clearly bad, so let’s call them just antagonists) and good guys, and friendship and comedy and cute girls and everything in between.

High School DxD – 12

24th March, 2012 (Sat) Category: High School DxD 13 Comments
WIN!

Well, well, well, that’s what I call an epic ending. Even if the novels continue, this clearly wraps things up with heroism, epic moments and even romance, giving Issei his moment of glory and making Rias totally fall for her cute underling.

We also meet Lucifer, Rias’ oniisama who seems to have taken an interest in Issei, no wonder since Issei seems to have a legendary dragon inside him, the Welsh Dragon, and he can become a powerful asset for the Gremory clan. So powerful he welcomes with open arms the cancellation of the marriage that would have brought the two powerful families together, and by consequence, even if tacitly, he seems to approve of a relationship between Rias and Issei, which is awesome!

Winter 2012 Highlights

21st March, 2012 (Wed) Category: anime 10 Comments

Well the winter season is almost over, with one episode left for most shows, so I wanna share a few thoughts about it. All in all it’s been a decent one. I’ve followed 11 shows, which must be a little above my average, and although I did really like many of the shows, I feel I’ve seen stronger seasons. Apart from the ecchi anime draught in recent seasons, perhaps what I have missed the most is pure romantic comedy shows (such as Mayo Chiki, Hidan No Aria or MM, to mention a few), but we had a very decent romance anime instead, Ano Natsu, and these are also hard to come by. Also many comedies, which is always welcome, such as Kill Me Baby, Danshi Koukousei and Milky Holmes.

So let’s see my top 3, the revelations (the animes that I had overlooked or which turned out to be better than I expected) and, unfortunately, also the flops (not necessarily animes I didn’t like, but rather from which I expected more, or something different).

High School DxD – 11

high school dxd 11 - 03

They are really making it easy to hate the hell out of Raizer… but you know what, no matter what happens next episode (I’m sure they will do something about it, it’s impossible Rias will marry to that bastard), Raizer doesn’t seem to realize that the very moment the proud Rias resigned in tears to save Issei he had actually lost. Because it’s clear who she loves, and that’s not precisely that immortal bastard. Issei calls himself stupid, well he’s perhaps not the brightest tool in the shed, but this pathetic Raizer guy, smiling so sure of his victory, is far dumber, completely unaware he can’t possibly win Rias’ heart in fair combat.

High School DxD – 10

Probably my favorite High School DxD eyecatch to date

DRESS BREAK!!!! Mwhaha we could all expect something like this was going to be Issei’s secret weapon. And of course, seeing all the girls naked as they are defeated is great, but what made me go MOEEEEEE the most was Koneko-chan’s reaction. There’s something about girls like Koneko, Yami or Mahoro (who coined the “ecchi na no wa ikenai to omoimasu” phrase) who react that way to the perviness of the main character that makes their moe level go up. Pricesless as well was the flashback of how he trained with Asia to develop this ability, Asia so innocently supporting him while he destroyed her dresses!

One of the best, sexiest OPs ever. Catchy as hell. And if you haven’t watched the show (it’s a 3-episode OVA), I recommend this series, especially if you like cute girls who wear lots of different costumes and a slightly tsundere-ish, “ecchi is bad!” heroine, who also happens to be a maid robot!

A picture is worth a thousand words

Yeah, sometimes why bother to summarize or discuss an episode? Here’s an excellent summary of Ano Natsu! But honestly, this is how I like the drama. Not overblown stuff, just the natural result of youth love. Still rooting for Kanna, and poor Mio T_T

And as I already said before, I’m finding the whole alien thing totally unnecessary, it doesn’t kinda fit in an otherwise decent romance story.
