In this episode, there was one imposter among our heroes, and they had to find out who it is. Of course, as all of the main characters have the intelligence of a mortified pineapple, they just randomly did stuff without thinking of the idea to ask each other some smart questions.

Anyway, apart from that, this episode was very enjoyable to watch. It’s also been the first time in ages that Bleach really had nearly killed me from laughter on one particularly wrong scene (everyone: don’t miss is. ;)).

Okay, next time will probably feature the end of this very special arc. I wonder what it’ll be.

What do you get when you cross Trigun with Hellsing? Right, Trinity Blood. It plays in a futuristic-like setting, in which both Humans and Vampires (or rather Terrans and Methuselahs) live, but in which social rankings still remain very important.

The story of Trinity Blood rapidly changes from extremely good to extremely bad. Some episodes are unbelievably well thought out. Everything fits, and the plots leave you guessing all the time. At other times, however, the show leans a bit too much on using random coincidences and copies too much from Trigun.

The first half of the episodes feature father Abel Nightroad engaging in a couple of missions, each time accompanied with different side-characters. Some of these episodes may be a bit too complicated to follow. Other, however, were very interesting to see, especially when you were barely able to completely follow the plot, it was great to see all the different surprises.

The second half of the show, the missions begin to connect a bit more to each other, but they also take much longer than before. This may indeed become a bit boring, but the endings of each of those missions are magnificent and they will blow you off your chair. Then we have the ending itself. It consists of the last half of the last episode. I hate to say it, but it felt a bit incomplete. There are so many questions left unanswered. So many things yet to be solved. There was also a bit too much unneccesary action in the ending, which really could have been done better.

The different characters that Trinity Blood features are great. I’m especially a big fan of all the different members of the Vatican, but also the new characters introduced around the later episodes work great. Each of them has some kind of unique thread, which makes them interesting to watch. Their part was also the reason that the ending didn’t resolve in a total disaster. The first half of the last episode featured the side-characters in action. I totally loved this. Not even a second was wasted on it and each of the characters showed their utter best. Then the goodness ended and predictability began, unfortunately.

Although most of the characters were wonderful in this anime. There’s one character that just does NOT fit in this show: Esther. Somehow the creators took a liking in her, so they decided to give most of the screentime to her, instead of the side-characters. This is such a pity, because now that I think back a bit, I realize that almost all of the lesser moments of this anime featured her in one way or another.

The graphics in this anime look amazing. Especially the CG is top notch. The background music is nice to hear, but it’s not really anything special, or something. It’s just decent.

Overall, it was a very nice series to watch. Unfortunately, one character had to ruin it.

Why you should watch this: If you liked Trigun and Hellsing, or you are a fan of complicated plots, then you will like this anime.

Welcome, and say hello to the anime with the most wicked battle choreography ever. I have no idea why I didn’t decide to blog this. It’s mostly because at the time I started watching this show I felt that I was blogging too many series already. Anyway, this is a series that’s recieving waaaay to little publicity than it deserves. So many awesome stuff happens, I don’t know where to start.

Apparently, this is the second season of a show called Jubei-chan: The Ninja-Girl. I also didn’t know this until they started making references to it in the third episode. Anyway, she is sort of a magical-ninja-sword-girl, who uses an eye-patch shaped like a heart in order to transform into the reïncarnation of a sword-master who lived 300 years ago. This season, another girl, wearing an eye-patch with the shape of spades, arrives, claiming that Jubei’s eye-patch is hers. Apart from that, there are some other guys who bear the grudge against the sword-master, and also have been waiting for 300 years, and also want to beat her.

I know, it sounds horribly cliché. This anime, however, manages to make something beautiful out of this.

The power of this anime lies in the fact that it manages to utilize contrasts perfectly. Each and every character has a minimum of two very distinct moods. Mostly a hyperactive one and a serious one. By first showing the hyperactive side of the characters, the impact of the serious sides of these characters (when they get shown) becomes huge. This is also one fo the few anime in which I really like the main character. She is an amazing person, but in the end, you’ll feel sympathy for each and every one of the different character. Even the ones who seemed to only have been inserted for comic relief.

The battles are also the most amazing ones I’ve ever seen. Finally there’s an anime which realizes that power doesn’t win battles, but skills. And that’s what the characters fighting have: skills. Everyone moves so fast, it’s almost impossible to keep track.

That doesn’t mean that this show is entirely consisted of battles. Most battle usually take just five minutes, in which the show accomplishes what most anime wouldn’t even dare to try. The rest of the time is filled with some of the most amazing aftermaths, with one aftermath even taking up as long as four episodes.

I haven’t even started talking about the comedy yet. Although it’s not the best comedy ever and some misses it’s place, when the comedy works, it really works. I can’t believe how utterly creative some of the jokes are (sometimes perfectly integrated with the battles, other times just the characters being extremely wacky).

Overal, this is an amazing series. The characters are amazing, the battles are amazing, the dialogue is amazing, and don’t forget the catchy soundtrack.

Why you should watch this: if you like wicked battles, heavy drama, or just a good show, then you should watch this.

Final Rating: 89/100

This was a pretty entertaining episode. I’m beginning to like the new Bleach. It’s starting to turn into the brilliance of the first 30 episodes again. Thank goodness for that.

Okay, it may be a filler. But it sure is a good filler. I just love the way the everyone abuses and yells to each other, Kon’s hilarious when he’s not near Inue, and finally some problems are presented in which the characters have to use their brains, instead of their muscles. I can’t believe a show like Bleach would ever have that in it, to show such intelligence.

Also, Kon’s new back-pack-mode is hilarious, and have I mentioned before that the bad guys are great and the ED too cute?

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.

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.

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.

Willuknight did an amazing job again in finding as much info about the upcoming spring anime season. I’m very enthusiastic about it, as there are some pretty good series among them. But then again… there’s also a lot of garbage coming up.

2006 Spring Anime Season - AnimeBlogger.net Wiki

Anyway, here will follow a small preview of each of the new series:

Ah! My Goddess 2nd season

The Second season of Ah! My Goddess. I’ve never seen the first part, so I can’t really say anything about this one. Apparently it’s the same old formula again: a guy who is nothing suddenly gets to be with a beautiful girl. I’m not really interested…

Air Gear

A rollerskating anime. And of course, the rollerskates have all kinds of technical tweaks, such as engines, etc. And of course, this anime follows a young boy who will eventually be the best of all. Exciting.

Shibawanko no Wa no Kokoro

A show which teaches little children about manners…

Aria The Animation, Second Season

The second season of Aria The Animation (we apparently have an aweful lot of second seasons this season). I’ve seen the first episode of the first season, but it was just a bit too peaceful, if that’s even possible.

Fushigiboshi no Futagohime Gyu!

Second season of Futago Hime. Note to self: watch first season.

Kirarin Revolution

Not another idol-anime… I have a bad feeling about this.

Finalist

Of course, I could have known. This season, of course, isn’t complete without a harem anime [/sarcasm] Anyway, I don’t have much hope for this, but who knows. After all, MagiKano turned out to be interesting, so why shouldn’t this series be as well?

NANA

I don’t know if I’ll watch this. The summary doesn’t really sound like a good premisse…

Love GeCHU - Miracle Seiyuu Hakusho

The only clue about the story I have is the title. Apparently this will be focused around voice-actors, with of course some love. I’m too much reminded about REC…

Ohran High School Host Club

Yaoi, shounen-ai, and all with a female main character. Well, well, well… I really don’t know whether I’ll watch this or not…

Digimon Savers

Well, well, well, what have we here? Another digimon series. I hope they learned from their mistakes in the past, because the concept remains interesting.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu

I have no idea what this show is about. The only thing I can say is that it will feature a girl in some weird uniform (maid?)

Kishin Houkou Demon Bane
Another Mecha show. I’m not a huge fan of mechas, but we’ll see how this ends up.

Gintama

So, science fiction combined with history. I’m somehow reminded of Samurai 7. I don’t know if I’ll like this, but that will depend on the first episode.

Saiunkoku Monogatari
This one sounds like a very serious harem show. That or it will just be a horrible harem show. If it’s going to be the former, then I’ll be interested.

Sasami -Mahou Shoujo Club-

Apparently this show was postponed a few months. It’s another mahou shoujo-series, but I really don’t like the art of this.

Witch Blade

I have no idea what this is, but I don’t really like the art…

Black Lagoon

An action series, featuring some kind of international spy who gets captured, an then betrayed by the company he works for. Hmm, this has some interesting drama potential. I think I’ll watch this.

Yoshinaga-san’chi no Gargoyle

A… gargoyle… A living gargoyle. A living gargoyle won in a contest. A living gargoyle won in a contest and who appears to be the gatekeeper of Yoshinaga. It’ll probably be some kind of comedy. I have no idea whether it will work out or not.

Ju Oh Sei

This looks like the most serious anime of the season. I’m expecting lots of pain and suffering. It depends on how well the creators manage to execute this whether I’ll like it or not.

Inukami!

A slapstick comedy featuring a boy who thinks of nothing but women and money and a girl who likes to destroy things. I think I’ll hate the fantasies the boy will have, but the premisse of a girl who likes to destroy things makes me interested.

Dai Mahou Touge

Aww, another Mahou Shoujo. This can either be a total disaster, or a very cute series. What will it be?

RAY The Animation

Raycan see through objects, and apparently she has to fulfill some very dangerous assignments. I’ll wai for the first episode in order to check the overall tone of this anime.

Renkin 3kyuu Magical? Poka~n

Another mahou shoujo. I like the art of this. I’ll definately see it.

Kamisama Kazoku

Okay, if the creators manage to include lots of puns in this, it will become a great anime. But then again, it can also become horribly boring.

Tokko

Hmm, a guy joins a special force to revenge his parents who were ripped to pieces. I’m feeling 50:50 about this one.

Hime-Sama Goyoujin

The spiritual successor of rozen maiden, hun? It could turn out to be pretty interesting.

Simoun

Okay, interesting concept. People are born as girls, and on their fifteenth, they get to decide which sex they will be. This offers lots of possibilities for success, but then again… it also offers lots of possibilities for failure.

School Rumble 2nd Semester

Okay, note to self: finish the second half of the first season before this starts.

Yume Tsukai

A show about dreams. Has some definate potential.

Joshikousei GIRLS-HIGH

An all-girls high school, in which the absence of boys creates a total chaos. This has some serious potential.

KIBA

A fantasy action series. I’m a huge fan of fantasy, so I’ll be waiting for this. I’m just a bit worried about the sword-wielding male protagonist.

Soul Link

Interesting. Fourty years into the future, a space ship, which serves as an acadamy gets attacked by terrorists, and our main character, a student in this ship, has to find a way out. I’m also a big fan of the art.

Himawari

The mood of this anime seems very chaotic, judging from the picture and the description. This definately has some potential.

Good witch of the west: Astrea Testament

This sounds like a very cool series. I’ll definately watch this.

Utawarerumono

"The main character was helped when he was wounded lying on the ground in woods. When he woke up, he didn’t remember who he was. Furthermore, he had a mask that he couldn’t put off. By favor of the people in the village, who had animal ears and tails by the way, he began to live in the village." I just LOVE the art of this anime. I was a bit reluctant at first when I heard about this series, but I’m getting more enthusiastic by the minute.

Makai Senki Disgaea

So, this is about the conquest of the netherworld. This certainly is on my to-watch list. The art also looks too cute.

Tsubasa Chronicle Second Season

Finally, the second season of Tsubasa Chronicle I’ve been waiting for. I really can’t wait for this.

Higurashi no Naku koro ni

Murder mystery in a small mountain village which is about to be destroyed by the construction of a dam. I like it. The art also looks very cute, so I will be following this.

Shoujo Changguem no Yume
Oooh! This will be some kind of Japanese-Medieval-Fantasy story. The art looks great, I’ll certainly be following this gem.

XXXHoLiC

I am SO waiting for this. This will certainly be an awesome series.

Shinigami no Ballad

In march, this awesome-looking series will arrive. I can’t wait! :)

The Third

Damn you for delaying this awesome show for another season! *gets excited*
