A quick indication on what all the ratings mean:
65-69/100: The epitome of mediocrity. These have one or two good points, but mostly they’re just bad and boring.
60-64/100: The bad stuff. Some redeeming qualities, mixed with a whole lot of garbage.
50-59/100: Garbage, stay away.
40-49/100: Utter crap.
<39: Downright Terrible

A quick indication on what all the ratings mean:
77,5/100: Enjoyable series. While not the best of the best, they’ve got quite a few good points and are nice to watch, save for a few flaws.
75/100: Series that are either nothing special, or shows that could have been awesome, yet were plagued by too many flaws.
72,5/100: These series did quite a few things wrong here. They’ve got some nice parts, but overall they’re not worth it.
70/100: Very flawed series that are only enjoyable if you’re really bored.

Noein - 14


Why… oh why, do some guys have to look so much like women!?!

Those who’ve been reading my blog and paid close attention during this episode will know what I’m talking about. *feels ashamed*

Anyway, what we have here, is another great episode. We finally get to see what Haruka’s father looks like, at least, in his younger years. We also get some backstory of Haruka’s parents, we get to see a bit of character development from Yuu, and Haruka looked too cute when she was eight.

Anyway, the cliffhanger was again an awesome one. We finally get a bit more information about the grown-up Haruka, and it just makes me even hungrier for more. We also see for 0,3 seconds what the new enemies will be like. It promises to become really interesting.

And also, the old telephone, it was a brilliant idea. I like it.

The Law of Ueki - 34

I was so busy with my rant from last time that I completely forgot about the new intro. It actually reveals quite a lot of things that will be coming in the following episodes, including the introduction of a few new interesting-ooking characters (or just old characters with a new haircut). I have no idea though why they included the scene of Marylin collapsing right at the beginning of th eopening… will there be something special about this? Rinko and Mori also begin to look more and more like the ladies-in-distress, who Ueki and the others have to rescue. This is such a pity, because their amazing personalities deserve way more than that. I’m wondering who the crying kid might be. It is a bit hard to see in such greyscales, but nobody in the show has similar eyebrows… Anyway, he or she looks like an interesting character. It also seems like we get to see God fighting in action. That will be interesting to see, I can’t wait for it, but it’ll probably be featured somewhere in the later episodes. I’m just a bit worried about the fact that Ueki is going to have wings… it seems awefully cliché… especially when you see him save a falling Mori…

Anyway, about the episode. Thank god this one was better then last time. I know again why I liked Kobayashi’s charcter so much. He’s just awesome. The new opponents also seem very interesting, especially during their introductions. The last team was a team about artists, this team is a team about soldiers. It works pretty well, and I really liked the way Ueki tricked everyone to buy the others some time. It really shows that the bad guys aren’t perfect as well. It also offers lots of possibilities for the next couple of episodes.
