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”!

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.

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!)

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.

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai – Volume 7 (Part 2)

The following day Kodaka tells Sena but she doesn’t even know who Aoi is, even if she’s in her same class. Sena seems to know nothing about her classmates, and she didn’t even know about their scores being displayed, nor does she care about what others get. Although it can be seen as a self-centered attitude, Kodaka likes that attitude of hers, always moving forward, no matter what or who. Well I’m a Sena fanboy myself, so I can’t blame him!

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai – Volume 7 (Part 1)

Lucky, lucky Kodaka. In the aftermath of Kobato’s birthday party, he goes to wake his now 14-year-old imouto (delicious age!) and she’s sleeping almost naked, happy about the previous day.

At the club room that day, Kodaka thanks all the members for the party: the first time Kobato had a proper birthday party. Having to move home frequently, they never made any steady friends nor had the chance to celebrate birthdays. Hell, not even their father was present most of the time, because he had to work. He thanks Yukimura, Rika and Yozora for the presents, and of course, Sena, who is like a kid with sparkling eyes…

“What about my present, what about my present??”

“Oh, she ate it with delight” Sena gave Kobato a few kilos of beef for her birthday.

“Fufufu… Kobato-chan ate my meat with delight, ehehehehe”

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai – Volume 6 (Part 2)

“YOZORA!! YOU FEMALE PIG!!!” finally (and I mean finally since my last summary was a few months ago) Sena realizes that Yozora’s fortune-telling was totally bogus. Or was it? It’s not like she believed it or anything (no!!!) but as they arrive in the club room…

“Kukuku”

After having to take supplementary classes, Kobato is back.

“WOAAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA KOBATO-CHWAAAAAAAAAAAAN WHY ARE YOU HERE?!?! YOU’RE AN ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Infinite Stratos OVA

I finally watched the Infinite Stratos OVA and I quite liked it. It’s nice they actually took material from the novels, precisely from the summer just before school restarts, so I’m hoping this is just a way of leaving things ready for a second season, because there’s enough material in the novels for a second 12-episode one. I’m only disappointed in one thing: too little fanservice, except for two briefs shots of Houki’s nipples. I mean, it’s an OVA, this is where you’re supposed to go all out and offer lots of eye candy!

My Favorite Animes – Asobi Ni Iku Yo!

Anyway, this is not the “best” season to review Asobi Ni Iku Yo! because Asoiku (by AIC, Oreimo, BokuTomo, Amagami and a long etc.) is one of the most summer-like animes I’ve ever seen. It’s not only because it’s set in Okinawa, so everything about it has a tropical, beach flair but also the story itself is really summer-like. Asoiku pays homage to many genres that I tend to associate with summer. For example, at the start of the anime Futaba Aoi is carrying out a mission and when changing from one scene to another, a credits screen is briefly shown in between scenes, just the way many action movies start.
