Wonder Festival Summer 2009 ~ Drooling all over the place

Badass Yoko is BADASS!

Ah Wonder Festival, my favourite time of year and being an avid figure collector (much to the pain of my wallet), it sure beats Winter Festival by a long shot.

Princess Lover: episode 3

How to be a creepy gentleman

Picking up where the last episode ended, we jump straight to the duel between Teppei and Sylvia. I am not sure what i was expecting, but it ended up less impressive than said expectations, and slightly overdramatically silly, but that is fine i guess – not like one should be expecting actual fencing lesson from this anime. What was not fine though was the animation effort – i am not sure what happened here, but it certainly looked like the main animator was taking many breaks during the episode with some borderline QUALITY moments, or they had blown all their budget on the commendably animated first two episodes. Either way, this episode didn’t look nearly as good as the first two did, and movement itself was lacking. Along with some missmatched BGM, this episode certainly lacked the overall feel that made me appreciate the first two.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni, Episode 1-4: Blunder

Another tragedy occured. The remaining survivors have barely the time to realize what’s going that another incident strikes them mercilessly.

NEEDLESS episode 3 ~ YAMADA MESHI! YAMADAAaaa MESHIIIiii!~

After watching Juuden chan, baseball bats just make me laugh~

I don’t know if you guys get the same feeling, but the more I listen to the opening theme, the more I feel like kicking ass (especially when it gets to the 39 degrees part). This is without doubt my favourite opening theme from this season.

Summer 2009 early review ~ Slice of life beating the crap out of you. (updated ver1.1)

Well since it is the summer, and I’m bored, I might as well write a review post of the series I have been following so far. On the whole this season so far has shocked me quite a lot with endless enjoyment for the better part and steep pain for the remainder. It really has turned into a weird experience of finding gems and destroyed hype with my expectations before the season started completely flipped like a mirror image, but I will try my best to keep things as fair as I can with the review. Still the opinions to come are pretty personal so your mileage may vary.

I forgot about the opening image for this entry, and what could be better to raise the flag than good o’ Gin Sama (nothing to do with the actual post, but relevant to my interests)

So to get things started lets start with the list of what series are mentioned in this entry (in no particular order):

Aoi Hana
Bakemonogatari
CANAAN
GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class
Kanamemo
NEEDLESS
Princess Lover!
Sora no Manimani
Spice and Wolf II
Taishou Yakyuu Musume
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
