Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru chapter 8

Hello there. This manga has fucking long title. And the scanlator decided to skip on giving DDL after their previous attempts in using watermark. Inb4 they reinvent SecuROM.

Ripped from batoto with following command:

for i in {1..37}; do
 curl -O "$(curl http://www.batoto.net/read/_/76060/ore-no-kanojo-to-osananajimi-ga-shuraba-sugiru_ch8_by_japanzai/$i 
 | grep 'img src="http://img.batoto.com/comics/' 
 | sed -E 's/.*src="([^"]+)".*/1/')"
done

Whoopsie, as it turns out, the files are actually gif. Brb fixing them.

Here be fix:

for i in *.png; do mv $i ${i%%.*}.gif; done
for i in *.gif; do convert $i -flatten ${i%%.*}.png; rm $i; done

Links updated to fixed pack.

Love, Election, and Chocolate gets anime adaptation

Koi to senkyo to chocolate, an eroge from sprite just announced to get anime adaptation.

From ANN:

The January issue of ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki G’s Magazine is announcing a 2012 television anime adaptation of sprite/fairys’ Love, Election, & Chocolate (Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate) adult game on Wednesday. The 2010 Windows game follows the protagonist at a “mega academy” with over 6,000 students. To save his cooking club from being abolished, the protagonist agrees to run for student body president.

The art was good and as usual I have no idea what the story is about 😀

And again, as usual, I need to prepare for art quality degradation compared to original art. At least I’m not a big fan of Akinashi Yuu (and Koichoco being the only eroge art he/she ever done) though it’ll still be sad seeing it degrades.

No information on animation studio or pretty much everything else.

Hitsugi no Chaika chapter 1

Here be fileserve link to Hitsugi no Chaika chapter 1 which seems to be recommended by Kurogane.

Here’s the bash command I used to leech from this batoto.com thingy. Originally one-liner but reformatted for readability:

for i in {1..66}; do
  curl -O "$(curl http://www.batoto.net/read/_/52737/hitsugime-no-chaika_ch1_by_village-idiot/$i 
    | grep 'img src="http://img.batoto.com/comics/' 
    | sed -E 's/.*src="([^"]+)".*/1/')"
done

Yes, I parsed html using sed/regex 😀

Flame away.

PS: Apparently I fail at leeching shit. Should’ve checked file formats before deciding it’s jpg. Just extract the files and rename the files with correct extension if you’re feeling dilligent (or getting broken image with MMCE). Only page 1-4 are jpg.

PS: whatever. Fixed everything. Added ddl from my own site since I want to waste some bandwidth.

Ben-to episode 4 – Ho Yay

I’ve been, well, busy this last few weeks.Also hit by some fever along the way. I’ve got more or less clean backlog but that’s partly because I didn’t write anything about whatever I watched. I planned to but then got too lazy because.

Anyway, this Ben-to sure is surprising. The story is awesomely absurd. The characters are insane, etc.

This new character is just as crazy. Sneaking mc’s room, a pervert, a les yay (dominant type?) (or bi?), and not afraid of anything. Too bad she lost to Ice Witch. And to Shiraume (in awesome way). Additionally, Oshiroi’s novel sure is, well, interesting. Even more interesting when Shaga and Yarizui read it with flat voice.

Butler Girl & Senhorita – ho yay

From the mangaka of Rakka Ryuusui, Ikki Sanada, still with yuri-ish theme but no longer in 4-koma format presenting a story about a butler and his her master. The butler was left by her parents due to some trickery done by their friend thanks to them being a really nice people. As a bonus, the yuri theme in this series is much more explicit than in Rakka Ryuusui.

The Mystic Archives of Dantalian episode 6 – wait what

Finally the second Biblio Princess. From the opening and this episode, there is another one which probably doesn’t act in good faith.

No appearance of the main character at all this episode. It felt weird but I can’t help but wonder in what way they will connect. Overall a nicely done introduction episode and the “book as fuel” deal was rather unique. The “cartridge load” (and the staff) thingy reminded me of Nanoha though.

Also, this new Biblio Princess reminded me of… someone I can’t exactly remember apart of the similar feel about both of them.

R-15 episode 4 – eh

So this episode is the photographer’s episode. Accompanied by the inventor Kagaku Tsukuru (TL note: kagaku means science and tsukuru means create), tried to capture the porn-writer’s ugliest moment (and ended in more or less failure). As usual, there isn’t much of story. In fact, I stopped thinking about story for this series so I might have missed whatever story it’s pretending to have.

The Mystic Archives of Dantalian episode 3-4 – yay

The power of fujoshi.

I’m pretty confused by episode numbering in this series. At least the latter part of episode 4 is actually episode 5. Or something.

The last two episodes are not quite as interesting as previous ones. Though considering the original writer, there’s a chance of some kind of jump, or sudden explosive change in the pacing sometime. Let’s see if it can create same level of story (er, lulz) as Asura Crying’ (which also didn’t fare so well in the beginning).

There’s not even the “book reading of the week” section in either episodes.

A Dark Rabbit Has Seven Lives episode 5 – ha

For once, this series managed to balance between answering questions and adding questions.

Apparently Kurenai Gekkou is more… good… than expected. He must be really angry to his brother. Or something. Too bad the do thing didn’t actually happen. And the fact that it’s a spell felt a bit weird. It’d feel better if it’s another creation like Bahlskra but she(?) isn’t. Anyway, Taito is as useless as usual this episode.

Extra: lol @ Fukuyama Jun’s ironical laughter.

 

The Mystic Archives of Dantalian episode 1-2 – so much for books

The book-reading part is probably the most annoying part because it requires more concentration to follow. Mainly because I rarely read those kind of books. Or any book, really. The premise is quite weird – about historical, powerful books. And a mysterious tsundere girl to accompany the main character. And reading the books gives the reader awesome power or whatever while epicly confusing the watcher (or just me?).

Animation etc as expected from Gainax. The story being written by writer of Asura Cryin’ assures some quality in the story albeit probably a bit confusing. Much better than that certain Dark Rabbit, I’d say. The whole Latin thingy is quite pretentious. Japanese sure love their Latin. Or French. Or German.

 

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan: Demon Capital episode 1-4 – o yay

According to Wikipedia (warning: spoiler everywhere), the first arc of this season is Past Arc. The one that tells the beginning of Rikuo’s grandfather – Nurarihyon. Sure seems like there’re some kind of relation between Keikain and Nura. I’m avoiding spoilers so I don’t know what is this exactly. Anyway, seems like there is some kind of difference between some clan members between past and current time. Could it be because their powers have been limited to certain extent? The personality, especially Yuki-Onna which I noticed most difference. Or could her be the grandchild of first generation’s Yuki-Onna (whatever that means)?

 

A Dark Rabbit Has Seven Lives episode 3 – hmmm

So, instead of explaining things, they decided to add even more mysteries. Riiiiight. Well, I guess it’s just like the previous series – explanation comes really late in series. Though the one, basic question still hasn’t got answered: how the heck did he survive his seventh time death? Did fifteen minutes time passed by the end of that or something? Why did he showed to be apparently “jumped” to school time?

In other hand, Hinata survived is rather obvious though how he managed it is still a mystery. Probably just because he’s too awesome to die. Add the fact that he can send a minion who can stand Spell Error or whatever that is and all.

Basically, this show is quite wtf.

 

A Dark Rabbit Has Seven Lives episode 2 – whee

She shouldn’t have adjusted her appearance.

Another busy episode with the two couples who initially fights each other joining force to defeat common enemy. Listening to Fukuyama Jun voicing an evil character sure fits him nicely. Some questions answered, some new questions appeared. Great. Especially how Taito can get back alive after dying seven times. Hopefully we’ll get the answer in next episode.

LoLH writer sure doesn’t disappoint (yet?). ZEXCS also seem to be able to keep up the good animation. It’s still at second episode though so it could go anywhere.

Yuru Yuri episode 3 – o/

Loliyuri is sure fine~

The group discovered that Yui is living on her own and so Kyouko decided to visit her on holiday. Hilarity ensues.

This episode is focused on Kyouko and Yui (at least the latter half) as we discover that they have known each other since like forever (including Akari) and how Chinatsu wants to join the group, too. For Yui-senpai, presumably. Hinted at the beginning of the whole event, turns out Kyouko cared about Yui after all and they proceeded to the bed at night in the end.  IYKWIM.

A normal Yuru Yuri episode which is a good thing.
