Upotte: May Impressions

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Upotte is that assault rifles also masturbate.

Acchi Kocchi: May Impressions

Now that the Spring 2012 season has been going on for about a month, I think it will be nice to devote a few posts this week to sharing my impressions about the shows I’m watching. It’s become difficult to me to write a post about every single episode more than because of a lack of time, because it’s often difficult to find something meaningful to say at all. For example, when I started blogging I would summarize the episode and then give my impressions. But summarizing an episode has no actual meaning when everybody has probably seen or will probably see the episode. As for giving my opinion I think this is precisely the better way to do it: every month or so, I will give my impressions, rather than after just one episode, when sometimes the most I can say is “it was really funny” or “it was kinda boring”, lacking any perspective. After all, over time, my blog has become more like a place to share thoughts and maybe comment a little, rather than trying to be a reference for people to know whether something is worth watching or not. That is not my objective, I have no talent as a critic –you know my dislike of criticism or saying anything negative about a show, so this is probably the best way to talk about anime!

Mayo Chiki! – Volume 6 (Part 3)

So well, let’s go back to the tournament day. The three-legged race is about to begin, but it’s not your run-of-the-mill event. As Suzutsuki explains over the speakers, because she will be commentating on all the events throughout the day with guest commentator Sakamachi Kureha (awesome and fearsome combo!), it’s a “three-legged bread-eating borrowing-game race”!

Color ToLoveRu (NSFW)

I felt like posting something sexy. Unfortunately, there’s a scarcity of uncensored TV anime lately, and although some of the scenes in the latest episode of Medaka Box or KoreZom are actually sexy, I found yet another color version of some of the more juicy pages of To Love Ru Darkness and decided to share those pics. Many will know about them, but it’s basically a coloring done by anonymous artist(s) of Yabuki Kentarou-sensei’s art, so imagine that gorgeous, sexy art in color. It’s too awesome.

Anime, even in 2012 you did it again

Anyaway! Nyaruko-san is my favorite show of the season, no doubt about it. It’s precisely the type of whacky, light-hearted show I love, the type of show which made me addicted to anime. Apart from the joy of hearing Asumi Kana’s hyperactive voice acting (to the level of voice pr0n!), Nyaruko is just awesome. You never know what she’s going to say next, but you know you are going to end up laughing or just with a WTF face. Hell, from what I’ve read, I’m sure Lovecraft would have a heart attack if he came back to life and saw his characters turned into moe otaku not-too-evil deities, but as far as I’m concerned, this is a great anime. Best of 2012? Well, Yuru Yuri is having a second season too, so it will be a tough opponent, but I’m pretty sure that Nyaruko-san will end up within my three favorite animes of the year.

That moment!

Forget about the cute miniskirt pirates cosplaying while doing their piracy business. For yuri fans, this was beyond any expectations. I guess we’re used to a lot of teasing, but to see these two girls (I was always a fan of the club’s president) passionately (and proudly!) kiss… that was awesome. Good job Mouretsu Pirates, as well as for keeping the show light-hearted and entertaining.

Mayo Chiki! – Volume 6 (Part 2)

So after school they talk about what’s going to happen now. Suzutsuki prevented any further violence by suggesting they should settle things during the sports festival. Of course, she also clearly did it for her own amusement. Apparently, Shure-sempai wanted to organize a special event, but everyone knows about her tremendous strength and fears her, so by making Jirou and Konoe participate, she can also do her little event. Imagine how strong Shure-sempai is when Jirou’s imouto Kureha (aka “Little Monster”) refused to participate…

“Unless I go to the Room of Mind and Time I will not be able to defeat Schrödinger-sempai” (Yeah, DBZ reference!)

Sengoku Collection

Well I guess I’m not quite dead xD lately I have less time and I’m not too motivated to blog either. Just suggesting a Spring anime I personally overlooked, and that’s Sengoku Collection. Well, more than overlooking it, when it’s described as being of the genre “samurai” or “historical”, I really didn’t have an interest in it, but Rayneholde recommended it and well, it’s really awesome, since it’s like 95% moe and 5% historical, only the names basically!

Mayo Chiki! – Volume 6 (Part 1)

We start volume 6 with a little description of Rouran Academy’s Handicraft Club, the one where Kureha (Jirou’s imouto), Masamune and Nakuru belong to. Because you know, a handicraft club is supposed to be… about girls making cute dolls and stuff like that. However, that club has an internal ranking that measures their combat power, their trip to the mountains was to fight bears and apparently they even carry out jobs the student council cannot officially do, and well, we all know what Kureha, the “Little Monster” as Jirou calls her, is like. However, no matter how much he asks around, nobody really knows, or wants to know, what the handicraft club does. “There are things you are better off not knowing” says handicraft club member Usami Masamune. And nobody knows anything, except for one thing:

“Never anger their vicepresident”. Their vicepresident, as he learned in last volume, is number one in their ranking. Even Kureha lost to her. So what could that person be like??

Mayo Chiki! – Volume 6 (Part 0)

Before starting to summarize the sixth volume of Mayo Chiki, that’s just after the anime ended, let us recap a little about what happened in volume 5, especially the last chapter which I don’t remember being in the anime. At the end of volume 4, Konoe cried at her mother’s grave because, now that she had actually made a friend (Jirou), she couldn’t introduce him to her mother. Jirou comforted her and after that, Konoe mustered all her courage and told Jirou that “she doesn’t just want to be friends with him”. But she got scared in the last moment and changed her confession into “we should be best friends rather than just friends!”. Being the dense guy he is, Jirou actually believed that was what she meant to Konoe’s misfortune.
