Comments on: Shion no Ou - 02 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/10/20/shion-no-ou-02/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated. Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:21:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: reslez http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/10/20/shion-no-ou-02/#comment-4616 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 16:37:03 +0100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2007/10/20/shion-no-ou-02/#comment-4616 I'm still hopeful, but this show has so many bizarre elements that I'm on my guard. The Ayumi subplot tips it from "edgy" to "wacko": A boy who cross-dresses to play shougi, in order to pay for "his mother's operation" (*eyeroll*), who is discipled to Orochimaru. If all they had was murdered parents + shougi it would be a total win. The mother's operation thing is so ludicrous I had to LOL. If he were just playing for money I'd respect him as a character a lot more. Doesn't he realize there are far quicker ways for cross-dressing little pretty boys to make money? The cliché... it burns.

Those programs nearly killed my computer. I'll stick with torrents thank you. A solid episode overall. The whole creepy stalker aspect is SO overplayed though, especially when compared to the manga. I can't wait to see more of Shion and her mental toughness in the next episode. She's one of my favorite protagonists ever. Off topic but can you do me a favor and ask Hung for a series tag for Shion no Ou? I'd ask him myself but the only way is to like contact him on the forums and I don't have an account because I'm not an admin. I'm assuming we're both blogging this show so that should be enough for a tag..? Well I'd appreciate it if you can and thanks. o.O. Those programs nearly killed my computer.

I use those programs as well. ;) Basically, the guys who put the raws into torrents get these files from programs called Share and WiNNy. I use those programs as well. ;)

I haven't even SEEN the raw file out yet. Do you like live in Japan or something LOL? Well anyways I'm glad someone else is deciding to blog Shion no Ou. The manga was a great pleasure to read and the anime hasn't disappointed. Though the anime art dropped DOWN from last episode? Sheesh. The manga art was so much better than the anime art from the first episode. Bad outsourcing indeed. Now I'm going to wait for the raw to come out before making any comments on this episode -_-. O_O.
