Ayatsuri Sakon - 05

Filed under: Finished Series:/Ayatsuri Sakon


I so hate myself for not remembering all of those names. I get that a lot in anime. It usually takes me four to ten times in order to remember each individual character name. It was the same in this episode. As there are lots of different characters playing in this arc, and all of these characters have a certain name, there were lots of times in which I kept wondering who the hell "Takamura-san" (or any other name) could be.

Apart from that, this episode was just as awesome as the previous one. We really get to know all of the different characters (except their names -_-), while it’s still totally unclear who the murderer could be. Sakon still impresses me, and the cliffhanger was once again amazing. I am SO looking forward to the next episode.

The Law of Ueki - 33

Filed under: Finished Series:/Law of Ueki


Ugh… the battles are turning slowly into power-based battles, instead of strategy-based battles. This episode as well. Rihou starts off well, advising Ueki that he shouldn’t abuse his sacred treasures too much. Unfortunately, instead of advising him to use more of his brains, he advices him to use more of his power. What happens afterwards… well… *dies from the countless DBZ-references*

It’s such a shame that such an excellent series loses itself like this. The strength of this series was the huge creativeness in the battles, but somehow the creators thought that more power means a better show.

Please, go back to the brilliance of the first season. T_T

Bleach - 65

Filed under: Series which were Dropped/Bleach

The first half of this episode reminded me of those horrible american cartoons, in which someone or something has been caught and the main character has to do some kind of treasure hunt/quest in order to get it back… I’m also curious about the motives of the new bad guys. Why the heck would they capture her? Do they want something from Ichigo, or were they just in the neighbourhood and found it a nice idea to drop by and say "Hi!" in a kindof eccentric way? And why would they organize such a treasure hunt in order to do it?

I do like the bad guys themselves. They show lots of potential, and seem better antagonists than Aizen and his gang.

Oh, and btw, the new ED is too cute. ^^
