[HorribleSubs]-Blood-Lad---01v2-[720p].mkv_snapshot_18.51_[2013.07.15_18.41.29]-concatAlmost went under radar. Maou as otaku vampire. Trying to revive a human girl he’s fallen in love in first sight. Or something. His roles felt awfully similar and therefore it still feels like it’s a maou instead of a vampire. Lol.

Opening song by May’n o/ Finally something decent-ish. Animation by Brain’s Base and sure has style unique to them.

Summer 2013 Week 2

And so week 2 of Summer 2013 has passed. Thankfully I’ve got no* backlogs though there are some series I haven’t watched because there’s no sub yet. Mainly Kaminai 🙁

Most of series has begun and sadly none of them seem to provide interesting OP song. That may change later as I grown attached to the series but it’s kinda sad considering there are at least two I really liked from beginning of previous season (DAL and Valvrave). As for the ED, I don’t usually like any of them until later anyway so there’s no problem.

This week is overall “ok”. Nothing really outstanding yet. Well, except Silver Spoon, I guess. I don’t consider that exceptional as the source material is really good (and simple) and it’d take quite an effort to mess up that one.

Also, I still suck at writing  Hopefully will write better next week ( ._.)/

[Commie] Gen'ei wo Kakeru Taiyou - 02 [6BE2D10A].mkv_snapshot_16.07_[2013.07.15_00.35.03]And there’s the explanation for weirdness that is repeating scene with one removed character last week.

Infodump week, so there’s dedicated organization for Tarot thingy and her mother is part of them. Also apparently her death is also during the job there or something like that?

The demon thing being originally human and no salvation feels… familiar.

Is it just me or The Sun seems like the only one having slight personality change after transforming…?

I’m not too fond of the character design though 🙁

[HorribleSubs] Kiniro Mosaic - 02 [720p].mkv_snapshot_17.13_[2013.07.14_17.52.47]Oh this pair. More fluffy daily life of four girls doing cute things. Thankfully the sugar level dropped to the perfect level. Not sure why but this episode doesn’t feel as sugary as first one which is a good thing.

Apparently there will be another foreigner incoming soon(tm).

Hyperdimension Neptunia The Animation – 1

[Commie] Hyperdimension Neptunia The Animation - 01 [F3C5D5B2].mkv_snapshot_19.59_[2013.07.13_23.04.33]Another series with original character design by Tsunako! This time an adaptation from a game by the master of crap game, Compile Heart. I have vague memory of someone saying this is better off as anime. As I’m not a (console) gamer myself, I never actually played the game. I did like the opening song though! And it got itself in the anime as insert!

As I said, I have no idea what this is going to be about or whether it’ll be a serious story or comedy. I suspect it’s the former though which means the “ok” bar will probably be a bit difficult to reach. We’ll see.

Danganronpa The Animation – 2

[UTW]_Danganronpa_The_Animation_-_02_[h264-720p][B1A2027B].mkv_snapshot_07.05_[2013.07.13_21.36.03]TIL blood is magenta-colored. I didn’t notice the perfect crime part in last episode. That makes things… different. Instead of randomly killing someone, it must be done in manner nobody else can find out. Though considering punishment for this and the fact that the series has just started, they probably can figure out the correct culprit for this time. Maybe.

Uchouten Kazoku – 1

[Vivid] Uchouten Kazoku - 01 [CEA1F5F5].mkv_snapshot_06.24_[2013.07.09_23.54.35]>Two otoko no ko pictures in a row.

Totally not intentional.

From the author of The Tatami Galaxy, here comes Uchouten Kazoku – a drama (? – according to wiki) about human, tengu, and tanuki. Started slowly. First episode introduces the characters and their quirks.

Had I not seen the credits, I wouldn’t have known it’s animated by P. A. Works.

Summer 2013 Week 1

I think I’ve written more posts than I should. And they’re mostly content-free. I’m practicing my English and thus realize as I’ve barely written anything, my way of expressing thing is limited. I’ve never able to write long prose anyway. In short, I suck at writing.

The winner of first week is Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi. The setting itself is already unusual in way of no one dies. Until shot in head, apparently. Which even then not yet rest in peace or something. And then the hnnnnnnnnnggggggggh. The pacing seem to be good enough and even though not ended in cliffhanger, sufficiently intriguing.

The rest are mostly above expectation. Note that my expectation is low so it doesn’t really say anything. Special mention goes to C3-bu which well exceeded my expectation. I only hope Gainax doesn’t butcher the story.

I also need to catch up Tamayura which I’m one season behind thanks to certain group and my laziness grabbing from other group.

Lastly, there will be more coming and considering the count, I need to drop some or figure out way to keep up without getting burned out. Especially on weekend where the count is a bit too high. I’ll see how far I can go.

And thus, this concludes the first week of summer 2013.

Inb4 this becoming last post for next few months. 😀
