Code Geass R2 08

Latest episode was truly epic. Zero in choosing not to battle his own sister, chose to exile himself, along with the rest of the Back Knights onto an iceberg ship. In a very Three Amigo’s way too (or Legion, or V for Vendetta). Also, Zero Dog, as you can see in the picture below. Click to enlarge as always. There is also a chubby zero, and a multitude of female zero’s in a pinker costume. If you look closely all the zeros are just copied and pasted onto the background. Not nitpicking, it’s not like it matters when that shot is only on for about 3 seconds.

Anyway… can’t wait till next one airs and gets subbed. Speaking of can’t wait, someone needs to release some more Druaga episodes. YouTube and Crunchyroll have really shitty quality.

To LOVEる -とらぶる- Episode 08

This weeks episode deals with morals. Yui thinks that all the girls are acting immorally (she even uses the term slutty) because Rito talks to them and corrupts them. She decided to punish Rito having the principal prohibit him talking to girls for 2 whole weeks. Rito doesn’t like this because it keeps him and Haruna apart, and goes home from school alone, only to be followed by Yui. Yui realizes that Rito is actually a kind caring guy and decided to get his punishment lifted… till Lala gets an idea…

This episode was pretty funny, and somewhat disturbing. You see, the guy from episode 7, Ren is going around in his girl form, and as a girl, he has a girls personality. Ren has also fallen in love with rito, and tries to kiss him again, only to sneeze and turn into a guy again just before it happens…. Ugh… what is wrong with the world? It’s disturbing…

its the same person…

That being said, I won’t give up on the series.

Macross Frontier Ep 08

Macross FJust finished watching Frontier EP 08. I am a bit divided about how i feel about this episode. There is no dogfights, very little action.

The episode revolves around Ranka getting transferred to Mihoshi Academy (Where Alto goes). But her transfer is overshadowed by a visit by Sheryl. They get along enough but Sheryl’s sudden visit upsets Alto, who finds it bothering.

Sheryl’s fame starts to get in the way of Ranka’s budding carrier as well. And at the end Ranka is alone and starts singing Aimo, only to be interrupted by the mysterious man who pilots the red Variable Fighter playing her tune on her harmonica. It cuts from there, and it shows that Sheryl also decided to transfer to Mihoshi to learn how to fly.

Soul Eater Episode 01

Soul Eater Episode 01Soul Eater

When I first heard about this series at the start of the Spring 2008 season I was hesitant to even try watching it. But Marc convinced me to give it a try and that I might like it. So I decided to give it a chance.

Plot: The show focuses on weapon meisters and there respecive weapons. There weapons have a human form but transform into an actual weapon when the need for battle arises.

Honestly in the first few moments of episode one, I thought that I would Hate this series. I happen to be very picky when it comes to animation styles. I’m by no means saying that if a series looks bad then I won’t watch it, but it better have a good/entertaining story to make up for it. That being said, since its only episode 01, I can’t honestly pass judgment on it.
