GYABO~ Nodame Cantabile, Paris Chapter 1 finally came out over the weekend.

Rating: 9.5/10

Toradora! – Episode 1

By coincidence, Takasu Ryuuji, the guy with the scary face bumps into Aisaka Taiga on his first day of his second year in school. Taiga may look small but her fiery temper gave her the nick Palmtop Tiger. Taiga also happens to be Ryuuji’s crush – Kushieda Minori’s friend.

Things take another turn when Ryuuji returned to the classroom to retrieve his bag, only to find that the tables and chairs have been knocked down. Suddenly the cupboard slams open and out pops Taiga cuddling herself. One would wonder what she …

To Aru Majutsu no Index – Episode 1

When I read the Fall 08 Preview list, I had decided that To Aru Majutsu no Index was the 1st new show on my To-Watch list, alongside Sequels such as Gundam 00 S2 and Rosario+Vampire Capu2. When the show did become subbed thanks to Eclipse and m33w, I was really pleased that I was gonna be able to watch it. To help those who are on the fence on whether or not to pick up this show, here are a few words to sum this show up.
Mages + Psychic Users …

Gundam 00 S2 – Episode 1

GUNDAAAAAAAAM!!!! Finally came out. It was worth the 6 months wait of course, and having Code Geass to help me through the painful waiting was nice. My only problem starting up this episode was I couldn’t remember anything that happened at the end of the first season. It’s currently four years after the first season; and a lot has changed in the world with Celestial Being out of commission.
Rating: 9/10
Episode starts off with mecha action. Following by the appearance of a group of mobile suits – A-Laws attacking on an …

Kemeko Deluxe! – Episode 1

Watched Kemeko DX yesterday, while I heard that the show wasn’t good. I found it rather interesting. The only thing which pisses me off is Kemeko’s low voice. Kemeko is voiced by Chiwa Saito who also did Subaru in Nanoha StrikerS. I’ll be doing a first episode review of the Fall Season. Bluesnow would be reviewing Gundam 00 S2 while I will be writing CLANNAD(most likely) Bluesnow has told me of her interest to take up another anime to review – currently she’s unsure because she needs to watch all …

CLANNAD ~After Story~ – Episode 1

CLANNAD returns this October. Many anime series are currently being aired. Fall season is good so far. CLANNAD is on my watch list. Is it on yours too?
The first episode brings the characters together in a game of baseball. Got to see some lame moments, funny moments or embarassing moments! One thing which makes me sad is that Fuuko won’t be one of the CLANNAD girls =(. I am Fuuko’s Number 1 fan, I support t3h starfish!!

Moving on, the begginning starts with Tomoya in his dreamland – I think he …

Lucky Star OVA

Its been a while since the original series end… I think a year by now, but the wait was worth it. This ova meets or maybe even exceeds the awesomeness of some of the best episodes of the original series. More randomness… Otaku related puns… and moe xD
Rating: 10/10
The ova was about 40 some minutes long, but like a normal episode it was split into multiple smaller segments… like mini-episodes. In the first part everyone visits Iwasaki. The main focus is on her dog Cherry who is very lazy… Miyuki …

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu – Episode 12 (FINALE)

The last episode of this romance anime featuring otaku fangirl – Haruka and a average teenage boy, Yuuto. Better late than never eh? XD My final episode review before I can move on to the fall season >_>. Most likely I’ll be blogging one, which I have sorta made up my mind.

Being the last episode it is, what better way but to bring the two main leads together? And of course this is done by a train ride. Yuuto gets emotional and almost wanted to leave the party, but that …

Code Geass R2 – Episode 25 (FINALE)

It has been a good season 2. And the ending was what I expected, thank goodness. Luckily we didn’t have a Evangelion Ending! No Lance of Longinus! Banzai! Bluesnow told me she cried in this episode, while I told her I was watching this episode just like the previous episodes – not emotional. LOL. So many twists, and Code Geass has finally come to an end. No cliffhanger ending, just the epic ending. Should I call it epic? At the end of the day, many people were asking this one …
