Mashiro-iro Symphony episode 01

She's happy about something. Well it can't be because she's lost... but wait, she's happy that her oniichan can find her anytime, anywhere. So... AKA she's happy to get lost? :P

My Fall 2011 lineup seems to be full of surprises. To me anyways, as... I basically had prior knowledge of only 3 series for Fall (that is not a sequel), so I consider this season so much more enjoyable due to the way I anticipate new episodes with much fervor.

Ben-to episode 01

One look at this photo, and the average viewer nowadays screams "Harem!". So sad. First of all, the loli clearly loves her meatball, the blonde with big ones is simply trying to give a face massage to the guy with her boobies, the silver haired beauty is posing for a gravure shoot, and the 2 girls on the right are so in their own little world... all of this on a single serving of food.

Ah, Bento. I don't think I've ever eaten such a thing before... if it was an already prepared food, it'd be from the Deli (not necessarily already packed for you.). That is somewhat the main reason why I just didn't know how a series would be like for these characters to fight over food, but then again, this is Japan, and Bento's are a regular item in stores.

Kyoukai Senjou No Horizontal episode 01: nice hairdo!

I just wonder, is my country's language really that good for magic attacks?

Throw this in with one of those that I knew absolutely nothing of prior to airtime. In fact, that Fall 2011 Anime Chart didn't help with it's picture of choice.

Thanks to CrowKenobi, mod extraordinaire at Animesuki, I saw the magazine scans and fell in love with Kimi-chan this series. Though my less than noble reasons are laughable, this episode was quite a fun enough ride that I ended up falling in love with a girl I hadn't seen before (but heard a lot of years ago).

Where's the nose?

First of all, Sensei (Makiko-chan!). Honestly I think she was nicely animated throughout the ep, and she got nice curves too :D As I mentioned earlier her voice was instantly recognizable, which I became a fan of after Mahoraba finished its run. Not to mention she tied her hair into a nice tail there (although I cringed when she cut pieces off lol). Not to mention she knows her stuff and seems smart, definitely my goddess.

THOSE LEGS.

Ahem to the actual episode, while I do find it funny that reactions across the web are very much mixed, I guess it is justifiable for first timers who didn't read accompanying descriptions that should have been included wherever the heck they downloaded it from. I honestly understood what I was getting into by reading what was described as a "dictionary sized synopsis", not to mention I hadn't known this was a novel or a manga or a game even, I really thought this was Sunrise pulling something out of their hat. But what's the surprise, novels seem like the new adapation nowadays. Not that I have a problem with that, as I don't read novels, so that gives me a rather fresh anime experience.

I swear she's got rocket boosters in that hair.

Now about the actual ep, I really like the action, if merely because it was centered around Sensei, but it did well enough in my opinion to keep me glued. Of course my bias is due to my enjoyment of the girls in bodysuits, but that's to be expected.

And that grin :)

The other nose-less anime (Code-E) I thought of. The reason why this came to mind was that this aired when my translator days were winding down, and a fellow fansubber I know worked on this series.

And the gifs:

C3 episode 01: C3 P.O?

Aside from the Allspark, can someone remind where have I seen a box with a red eye on it before?

I guess that's why it wasn't named Cursed X3. There's only 3 C's on there. But only one of them to Fear. There's nothing to fear.... but Fear itself (or in this case herself). Cool tagline, ja? :P

Going into the Fall 2011 Anime season, this is one of the series I had no prior knowledge about. So I hear this is a novel, like a number of other stuff this season. Man, I missed the days when games and eroge were adapted like crazy. Don't tell me that market fell by the wayside...

She looks like she's in jail. No wonder why she walked out.

Ahem anyways, back to the house which looks like a contender for Extreme Home Makeover after what this Fear did to it, I say this episode started rather well. It didn't start with a monologue'ish speech by the male protagonist about how his life has been or how dull it can ever be. I say the  focus of mystery was centered right there on the Allspark Thwomp block he just received.

Vacuum Cleaner Dancing. Girls, to us guys you aren't a chore machine anymore, you're an exotic dancer with a vacuum!

The rest of, or most of the episode shows us Fear-chan's fearless walk into town, and the eventual home makeover. Such a small girl using a lot of force on her actions, I suddenly grabbed my balls with a grimace on my face at the thought of a hentai doujin for this series XD I gotta say I enjoyed this episode, even though I saw most of only 1 girl, as knowing me, I do prefer if there's another girl or two :P

Personally I'm of the opinion that the OP should have been full of shimapanchira dancing like this shot. *ahem* *cough*

As the promotional material goes, you see 3 girls on the posters and such, but episode 01 showed us 2 of them, so hopefully MY PONYTAIL shows up soon, or else I'm going to laugh a laugh of a thousand men if she arrives in episode 05. Seriously, why is fate so cruel to me?

Next ep already shows something serious may be going down. Seriously, ironic that I was finishing up Front Mission recently, I tell you that woman got a Dasler Claw XD

Some avatars I thought of doing in the meantime.

Kamisama Dolls episode 11

I knew it from the preview that went up on the website, that this was going to be a fun episode. NOT DISAPPOINTED one bit.

My current sig at Animesuki

Mayo Chiki! Episode 10

Ah, birthdays. Spending them alone isn't fun, so why not spend it with friends and family. In Kureha's case, it was a good idea to spend it with her friends who aren't any more sane than she is.

In the event Blogger resized this to less than 720p, larger one goes here.

 I found it funny, you know, how Kureha spends her birthday at a friends place, and then at a rented public establishment. Usually this sort of thing is done at the subject of the day's home. At least that's how we do it in Germany, but then again, Kureha's still a kid, so she needs to have her fun at a Chuck E. Cheese's type of place XD

Mayo Chiki Episode 07

Mayo Chiki! episode 06: the mangatron's eyes pierce the clothing

Originally an Animesuki post

R-15 episode 01: more like Rated R

Why censor her? The girl was just going to lift her skirt to cool her self down after a hot day...

idolmAster episode 01: FPS anime

My waifu. Look at those legs!

Ah, idolmAster. Everytime I think of an iMaster anime, I always remember Xenoglossia... if that's how it's spelled lol. Really, back when that Xenoglossia came out, it struck me as odd, I was expecting something more like what we have now for Summer 2011.

Mayonnaise Chicken Episode 01

Makes me wonder if I ever tasted chicken dipped in mayonnaise. Aside from a chicken burger anyways...

But I totally got the MM! vibes from this, mainly of the guy getting beat by the girls. And really, that's such an obvious pairing right there, a girl dressing up as a boy, what a perfect medicine for a guy afraid of girls. Where have I seen that before... amusing that they called him a chicken, considering I already decided on that.

I still enjoy this series though, my M tendencies aside, as the girls are so purrty (Subaru in hair down girl uniform mode). I am hereby awestruck by Narumi. May the world know this day that the mangatron hath fallen for Yukikaze all over again XD NARUMI IS MY WAIFU AWHOOOOO NICE BIG EARS

Yes, I have not read the manga. Yes, that is an egg head decision and yes, I don't think I will read it until the series finishes airing lol....

Young Justice Episode 10

Some of the new changes to my blogging, due to the retirement of my personal blog I'll be posting about things like this too, not just Anime and Manga. 

 I gotta say, Wendy looks cute. It's really just one of those rare cases where I got this hot feeling in my heart for a girl like her. Can I hope for more school life in my superhero cartoon? :D

Dog Days Episode 11

Since I seem to have failed again to blog every episode of a season, I figured the best solution to a timestrapped personage like me is to post what I post at Animesuki...

 I see London, I see France, I-.... never mind

Hahaha HA, episode 11! But it's all over a bit too quick! While I was right that Yukikaze and Brioche were right down there waiting for it, I still think the whole evil sword thing is resolved without much of an explanation. Like, who built it (Biscuitti Factories?), where'd it come from (summoned from another world?), and why wasn't it a giant octopus instead of a sword, at least those magic tentacles would have made more sense tantalizing the girls of Flonyard.

Hoshizora he Kakaru Hashi Episode 09: best ep yet

What the heck?!? How could someone watch an ep like that? I am enraged LOL

Disclaimer: some of that was not originally censored.

Personal disclaimer: the mangatron was conflicted censoring the
zombie's butt. On the one hand, he wanted to cover it up, on the other
hand, he did not want to see that XD

Hidan No Aria episode 01

Well here's a series I knew of before the Anime announcement, Hidan No Aria. But like Dai Maou though, it was through it's manga version, and not the novel version. That's kind of going in the weird direction right? The first adaption, and then the second adaption. But something tells me I won't dive into the original source like Dai Maou, for reasons as lame as "not enough time". This episode review will be seen from the manga reader's view, so if I suddenly spout something unknown, it probably would help to read the manga a bit.

Dog Days episode 02

 That's a good 40-50 foot jump... IMPOSSIBLE.

If my quip about Dog Days reminding me about the X-games with just episode 01, episode 02 further confirms this.

Dog Days episode 01

 

I think the animation art would have been twice more expensive if done like this.

Spring 2011 is one of the seasons of Anime series' where I don't have advance knowledge of a series before airtime. Except for the obvious original series here and there, Spring has several series I knew nothing about before their announcement, and Dog Days (hereby nickname D-Days) is one of them.

Sengoku Otome Momoiro Paradox episode 01

Boobies! Pretty legs! Multiple colors! And... my Javascript was turned off.

I'm going to be frank here, my knowledge of Japanese history is just as bad as.... well what the heck, I hail from Germany, and while I can recite the whole WWII whermacht campaign with an average amount of detail, I have to admit my knowledge of Japanese history is being polluted by Anime with Female-of-a-male historic characters. Sengoku Otome Momoiro Paradox is one of those Anime, and I'll admit I don't mind going back to school if it's to learn about these girls :P Especially when this series is largely devoid of males (if only it weren't for the modern day scenes!).

Freezing 02: the hilarity continues

I have to come out and say it, I love this series! *cough* for all the wrong reasons *cough*. I never felt like poking this much fun at something for a very, very long time. And here I have the fabulous opportunity to do it again.

Infinite Stratos 02: I love ponytails

Hmm yum, episode 02 of Infinite Stratos. I guess I could say nothing
else much here as far as story depth, aside from the evenly placed
know-hows of some story details, such as the explanation of Personal
I.S.'s.

One of the things I like though, is watching Houki's hair
flail about, truly a sight for a Ponytail lover such as I. There were
a couple of scenes where they animated her hair very well. Now I could
only wonder what she's like when in the I.S.

I'll say though, the CG in the battle was honestly well done, despite
the lack of attendee's in the stands. Granted, they aren't using EA
Sports/2K Sports impressive background crowd rendering in their sports
games, but I do wonder if such a thing is possible. The CG certainly
is decent enough, although I do prefer hand-drawn over CG, I'll say
this much: this CG is much better than 7 years ago *cough* BakuTen
*cough*. Other points of interest is the 3 girls (honestly I forgot
their names), Of course Houki and her hybrid twinponytail hair, a low
visibility bathing scene, girl-falls-in-love-after-winning-a-loss,
great censors (/s) and an inexperienced teacher. The last part is
probably just me...
