Recap

Engaged - Kobeni is sick and feels embarrassed about not remembering the past and how Hakuya saved her when she was little. While she recovers,

Benio more or less poisons everyone with her cooking... They should've mosaic censored her cooking, shit looked horrible. After Kobeni is better she hesitates when seeing Hakuya and he misunderstands, thinking shes troubled by him or hates him and takes off (like really flies... something is off. He may not be human or something i tell ya). It ends with Hakuya and his sister talking about a secret they might need to tell Kobeni and then an arrow from their home arrives telling of how someone is coming to check on them.

Silver Spoon - Hachi and the gang goto a horse riding/jumping over obstacle competition. You meet an annoying wanna-be-ojou-sama, Ayame, who keeps

HAHA... I love when cellphones
get destroyed... LOL

taunting Mikage and then Hachi. She sucks at the competition and gets disqualified for time... BAKA. Hachi makes a good run but gets distracted by the fact that his brother is there and loses his foot from the stirrup (His bro takes a pic and it costs him his phones). It leads to him just about falling off and almost DQ'd. He ends up fourth in his class. Even though fourth is good he struggles with not being the best. Mikage has her run with Maron and ends up in third. The gang has a BBQ after and Hachi's bro joins them. Their peace is interrupted but Ayame shouting like a nut from the top of some boxes and Hachi gets a call. He gets to ride Maron home to end the ep.

Nagi no Asukara - Kaname woke up last time and spends most of this ep getting accustomed to everything. Sayu realizes she still has feelings for him

and thinks its odd. Her and Miuna kinda have it out at the docks and Miuna says she wont give up. Sayu had all but made up her mind when Kaname comes up to greet her, seems she still loves him. The scientist with Tsumugu realize that Miuna now has 'Ena' and can breathe under water. They find out there might be a way to visit Shioshishio, the under water village. See, when Kaname woke up he tells them he heard a sound like sand moving... Miuna confirms hearing it to. Turns out its a weaker current they may be able to use to visit Shioshishio.

Magical Warfare - Mui travels outside the academy to find her brother, thanks the the fortune teller. The other three are practicing magic back inside.

Isoshima finds a map with red X's on it and they deduce where shes gone. They decide to follow without knowing the gravity of that choice. They sneak out and when Mui is found shes unconscious from the battle with her brother. Takashi manages to hold her brother back until Ida finishes charging a bullet with his mana. The resulting attack makes her brother unconscious and hes saved by some colleague. The 4 get scolded when they get back to the school and told never to leave again. Takashi says he cant promise...

Its late and im tired... Ill write the other recaps tomorrow...

Recaps the 2nd Coming!!

Z/X Ignition - Picks right up where ep 3 left off. The offender is an angel from White world named Gambiel. She is under orders to find Fierte.. after she leaves Fierte spills the beans about her circumstances and how she came to

be there. The following day Mikage runs into Ayase and they spend the day shopping and hanging out. They don't realize they're being watched and then are confronted by the angel forces from White World. Asuka realizes the situation and runs to help while Ayase fights for her life. During the fight the city's power is knocked our and it goes dark. A shock knocks her from Sieger's back and she begins to run only to get stuck at a cliff. Asuka saves her but when the angels see Fierte they run away. Asuka, Ayase and Azumi stand there staring at the city from the cliff. Also, the Angels who recognized Fierte plan to tell of her where-abouts but is killed by Gambiel.

An Anime I Missed...

So i missed a good show this summer and I'm not sure why. The show is called...

Servant X Service

So the shows basically about a rag tag (just realized I've used that phrase more than once... might become a habit) bunch of people who start working in the Welfare office. *pause* dot dot dot. Yes i said it... the Welfare office. Whats next the DMV? Don't let the premise fool you. There is much to laugh at as you can expect from this show. The characters a unique and fun, the story isn't too heavy, as far as i can see for now... I'm not actually done yet. I started watching a couple days ago and i think I'm a lil more than half way through. When I do finish it up I'm going to come back and write up a full review of the damn thing with characters and all. Anyway there are only 13 episodes so it isnt too long... and the story hasnt seemed muddled or stalling as far as i can tell... but the humor just keeps coming.

Chihaya is a Cosplay-Nut

Maken-Ki Two 3

Ok, so i know i mentioned it before... but Maken-Ki Two is now a guilty pleasure. Super Ecchi at this point and no end in sight... and im completely ok with that. Fanservice is at an all time high. 

So this weeks a round of cat girls. Very stereotypical but not bad. Inaho decides to bring Monji (the cat with an X on its head) to school to play. While working on whatever this student body does Takeru says something to set the cat off and it releases its own element that transforms all the females in the room into adorable cat girls. Even the president and the Principal end up as cat girls.

Its not just transforming with ears and tails but their speech starts by adding Nya and meow in places. They also start losing control and just going on instinct and it appears its mating season for cats in that area. We can all see where this is headed... not that im not happy we're going there. Inaho and Takeru visit the mountain and monji disappears. The next day the cat girls start fighting over what man they wanna mate with... Hilarity ensues.

Take had Haru-nee, Inaho and Himegami all pawing away at him... In the end Inaho finds Monji on the mountain and comes to understand what he was trying to tell her. He jumps into her bosom and they embrace... the element is gone and all the cat girls are back to normal... but not all the evidence it happened. Usui has a video of Himegami... she gets rid of it! I always love it when someone does something stupid and then their phone gets chucked... Maybe thats because i work for a major cell phone carrier as a tech but it still just seems hilarious.

Productive Day...

First thing... on a side note. My son was quite sick and i didn't get to watch much last night on account of him throwing up and having a fever... So while at work... with not much going on i was able to catch up on a few episodes... Most of which i thought I'd be posting about last night... ONWARD!

Watched

-Hamatora 4

-Seitokai Yakuindomo 4

-Space Dandy 4

-Wizard Barristers Benmashi Cecil 3

-Z/X Ignition 3

Recap - I'll try to stay on point... Lot to cover here.

Hamatora - The crazy serial murderer is back, this time he burns his house down. Intro 2 new minimum holders... a young girl and some big beast of a guy. She can apparently see 10 minutes into the future and he's... well, they

dont talk about his but hes strong, like tears the roof off a car bare handed strong... maybe they'll elaborate more later.

Anyways... the group perform in promotional safety video for yokohama area and then argue about its content... lol, actors have it rough. This week's case revolve around teenagers committing crimes with

guns.. Apparently they answered a question online and a gun got delivered, but theres a catch. They either attack a nearby convenience store or participate in some insurrection, place TBD or die. 

The little girl, with the 10 minute future seeing ability gets nabbed at the airport and beast mode saves her. Nice figures out where the guns are coming from and how they are getting picked then the girl uses her ability to figure out where the 'insurrection' takes place with another suggestion from Nice. The serial killer strikes again and walks off... See you next time..

Seitokai Yakuidomo - The prez from the neighboring school gets wet

while walking on the street and Shino lends her a gym uni while her clothes dry. To be honest... this episode is all over the place. The comedy never stops... from gag to gag and innuendo all over. Too much to comment on. No one single theme here. Ill just post come of the screen caps. Theres talks of dil**s and all kinds of things. I dont think i've seen more sexual innuendo in a show than this. Its fine because is works with the story and how they play it out just sometimes its like they're going too far. I know, I know... you really CAN'T go too far so enjoy. 

Space★Dandy - Zombies! Haha.. this show is great. So Meow gets bit by what they believe to be a new alien species (actually a zombie version of

what they think it is) he turns into a zombie. Dandy don't know whats wrong and takes im to a hospital. At the hospital Meow has no vitals... hes dead, but still moving... They keep him for observation and overnight he kills the whole hospital... ZOMBIES! He don't even realize at first that the whole hospital are zombies until the lil robot tells him. Oh, and some mercs from they evil guys chasing him show up and become zombie chow real quick. Also... lol at the fact that QT turns into a zombie too. I mean, its a damn robot... how the hell do you make a robot a zombie? Unexpected but still funny. I love how he thinks he gets away

on the helicopter but the pilot is also a zombie! No one LIVES! Heh, they spend the rest of the episode talking about the rest of their lives as zombies. Way to commit to a episode plot... Even down to him claiming his own life insurance policy because hes dead... LMAO at the zombie hunter becoming a zombie. Talk about zombie apocalypse. 

Wizard Barristers Benmashi Cecil - This ep revolves around a 2 year old case that ended in the death of a Wizard (Masato) 

who used magic that resulted in the death of a human. Hachiya is MC here and he WAS human 2 years ago and the prosecutor on the case. The girlfriend of the wizards sentenced to death kills someone (the man who setup the case 2 years prior). She told the police she wasn't saying a word unless Hachiya was the one to represent her. You can kinda tell shes hiding something. Cecil becomes the helper for the case and they uncover the truth about the whole incident. They actually win the verdict they're looking for and get Mayu life in prison instead of the death penalty. Hachi holds a huge amount of guilt over the case from 2 years ago and he helps Mayu escape provided she only take her

revenge on him... She lies of course and tries to kill the people in the courtroom who she deems responsible for Masato's death. In the struggle shes shot and killed but leaves Hachi with clues to the bigger picture...

On a side note... random fanservice!

Z/X Ignition - Last but not least we got z/x ignition... the battle of Sieger v Fierte continues but broken up but by Rigel and Azumi. Asuka's inexperience as a partner shows when he cant help Fierte fight. Azumi faints from seizure and appears to have some kind of disease. The end up at Cafe Broccolo (Asuka and Mikage's job). While Asuka ends up taking Azumi home Fierte devours some sweest. Azumi opens up a lil to Asuka during their 1 on 1 time

but never reveals her and Rigel's mission... They do go into their backstory a little revealing the nature of Rigel and Azumi's relationship and what they're there for. Meanwhile, Fierte and Mikage take a bath and Ayase and Sieger try to celebrate christmas... Ayase is cold man. The ep ends with a new Z/X user showing up to blow a hole in the dorm looking for Fierte it seems...

Anime Episode Updates

Witch Craft Works 4
Buddy Complex 4
D-Frag 4

Recap
Witch Craft Works - This show is so much fun. The comedy is subdued and the action isnt over the top... well, not yet anyway (I read through ch 25 of the manga and it gets crazy). 

Kasumi makes Takamiya  miss the bus and the rag tag band of Tower Witches decide to divide and conquer after a suggestion from Ms. Schwarz. Their plan fails however cuz Kagari is OP and Kasumi (yes Kasumi's actually a witch) throws down Kuma v Usagi style! (thats Bear vs. Rabbit if you dont know those words... lrn2japanese noob). Also... Kasumi has a total brother complex and its kinda funny watching her get all jealous/possessive over her onii-chan with the princess. Considering the situation... Kagari proposes 24/7 protection a la princess from here on out (Kasumi's gonna spaz). 


Seems that Chronoire has some more in store for Takamiya and has her familiar round up all the Tower Witches in the town for the next plan. The episode ends with the Chairwoman (Kagari's Mom and head of the workshop) getting a call telling her that Medusa has escaped. Can't wait til next week. This show still holds top IMO for the new stuff this season.

Buddy Complex - I'm liking the dynamics of this show the more it goes on. Now we're seeing how people interact having to deal with the circumstances they're handed.

Ep starts with the Cyngnus crew heading for Narashino (Aoba's home town) for repair. Captain grants Aoba permission to have a look around the town, followed closely by Mayuka. They visit places of his memory... His house, his school.. All are pretty much gone. He realizes the finality of the future hes landed in and the all he loved is gone... And with no where to return to, he decides to stay and fight with Dio and the Cygnus crew. 

Apparently on the Zogilia side of things... Man what kinda name is Zogilia? Anyway you get a glipse at Hina's punishment... They suspect her and her in the brig. 

There is a civilian ship with SOS being attacked. They end up saving Dio's family and solving the mental block keeping them from coupling. They escort Dio's family ship to the base at Chitose and Dio gets to see his sister an father. His dad seems kinda strict and cold


D-Frag - This show is rivaling Seitokai Yakuindomo for comedy IMO. This gang of idiots make so you cant look away.

The club tries to pick a new name for their club... only to find its an official name already exists, Game Creation Club (Provisional). Haha... its like their backups by nature... Anyway, continuing... 

Kazama and his delinquent friends run into a local gang, The Band of the 14 Devils... This bunch of pansies play rhythm games at local arcades.. Like thats a gang activity... Nerds! HAHA. Funny thing... they beat up Kazama and his crew and kidnap them. The Vice Prez runs and tells the club whats happened and they all take off to help (they're playing "The Scramble for Porn Mags in Space" when he comes and Takao is tied up and forced! lol). They also try to disguise their leaving as 'need to pee'... haha.

Kazama wakes up in a warehouse with the idiot gamer gang when they raid his bag and find the Porn Mags game. These idiots spend the rest of their time trying to figure out teams to play the game, 4 players is required. The gang appears and wipes the floor with the delinquents. The end...

Seishun Pop chapter 38

Let me start by saying that i actually like this manga.. but... This is starting to get a little weird. Still a good read just Ayano has been acting strange for a while now and even Shiori seems off. Everyone is worrying about Sakuta. It's not really a bad thing but they seem to be neglecting themselves. He seems almost oblivious to it but maybe he will realize something's up. Getting that worked up about giving him his birthday cake and then Ayano lying about who was at the door. They're getting possessive about him and it's going to come to a head I think. And now with the bassist quitting that will open the door for him to join incest. Fitting the name of the band is how I think this manga will end up... Lol

Tokyo Ravens 15

I love this show and it feels like its taking forever for episodes to be released. I think its just GG subbing it though.

So the Shaman School is in ruin and the students are displace to other facilities for classes. Seems like everyone is on edge after the incident with Douman and Harutora has a practice match with one of the Shamans at the new facility. He loses and the other guy mouths off about Harutora trying to do high level spells without being good at the basics. Natsume steps in and shuts that guy right up. 

Natsume and Harutora visit the shrine atop the school for a look and run into a girl by the name of Souma Takiko. Seems suspicious if you ask me... She knows a lil too much to be 'just a student'. She brings up issues about Yakou and the principal. Prompting them to check out the archives for links between the two and their relationship... But they find the archives an utter mess. Even through all the their searching, nothing about Yakou of the principal is found but they do look up Ootomo sensei and find he was in the same class as Saotome Ryou (he prompted Dairenji wanting to become a Divine General).

The gang sets off to see Ootomo Sensei and runs into Suzu-senpai. Shes really suspicious after that scene... Plus, that lil shrimp i could swear was Douman... Guess we'll have to wait to find out. 

Jump to Ootomo's room and hes speaking with the Chief about a sweep to flush out and destroy the Twin-Horn Syndicate. Alot of dialogue and plot twists in the back and forth between the group, sensei and the chief. The gist of it all is that sensei was a divine general before and entered Shaman School to protect Natsume from Yakou fanatics. The chief leaves and they continue their talk... Ootomo has a definite reaction to the name Saotome Ryou and corrects them... its not Ryou but 'Suzu'. It was misread.. I knew Suzu-senpai was suspicious. 

It ends with them getting told they're being protected by the crazy general with the cross shaped scar on his forehead and the Twin-horn operation begins. 

Z/X Ignition 2

So I kinda feel bad that I've been ignoring this series. I finally made time on the train this evening to watch ep 2 and it was better than ep 1. I guess i might've given it a bum wrap cuz I thought it was based off of a card game. I misread and it just said game. That i can live with and im glad i decided to watch some more. This isnt so bad. 

Kinda gives off a Fate/Stay vibe at first... Minus the 'Holy War' of sorts. So the MC was able to save this angel by capturing her in his Z/X Card device. Hehe, she gets all pissed he did it without her consent but onwards... He lives in a high school dorm i.e. No girls (no less angels). He runs into Mikage who apparently has a crush on him... He's dense like most MC in these kinds of anime. She pays a visit and discovers Fierte (the angel) under his covers, its a funny scene. Quick thinking, he introduces her as his lil sister. The fact that Mikage believed that is astonishing... Airhead. 

So Mikage sneaks Fierte into the bath... Fan-service. After, Fierte senses approaching enemy danger and they head out to meet them. It turns out its Ayase and Sieger from before, back to finish the job. Fierte wants to protect the bath so she... yea i said bath... she grabs Asuka and flies off to someplace more fitting for a battle.

Hamatora 3

Super powered detectives... Whats not to love? 

This ep is good and sheds more light on the serial killer thats hunting down the minimum holders. The job this time is to find scandal at Facultas Academy... A school for people with Minimums. Murasaki investigates Academy officials while Nice stays back and cleans the bar. Inspector Art goes and sees a psychopath (hes revealed as being the killer in an earlier episode) and at one point is so frustrated and filled with rage thats hes got his hands around the killer's neck. The contractor this time finds out that her son has obtained an ability (dude just transformed into some bigh purple) from the same guy thats murdering people with minimums. The son is subdued by Nice and the murderer mumbles that Nice was the #1 scorer in history at the academy and current his existence is classified. 

Noragami 4

LMAO! This whole ep was funny... when he gets the call for a job its a guy atop a building about to commit suicide. Sounds dreary but the story he gives is hilarious. He lost his job, hes broke and has no other choice... Goes into a story about this girl he met on the street and started dating... She takes advantage of him BIG TIME! 

Turns out shes the God of Poverty... Funny that she's introduced in the beginning of the ep as Yato's girlfriend. Anyway, Yato takes the job and severs the falling man's ties with Kofuku (the girlfriend) and saves his life. 

Ends with Kofuku telling Hiyori about Yato's past and about him being a scary God. In the past smaller gods survived by taking any wish given, no matter

whose it was. Yato is also a 'God of War' and as such killed people... They also run into one of Yato's old Regalia's that he calls 'Nora'. She says she'll be waiting for him to call her real 'Name'... seems like that chicks crazy. 

Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha 2

This ones a lil weird but still good... Kinda hard to explain really so why dont i

just post the synopsis here...

Taken from Myanimelist:

Fushimi Inari is a shy, not-so-bright middle school girl living in Kyoto's Fushimi ward. She has a crush on her classmate Tanbabashi, but cannot express her feelings. One day, as thanks for helping a fox pup, the deity Ukanomitama-no-kami grants her the ability to change her form.

So its a bit funny to say the least. No alot of LOL but some chuckles for sure. Plus theres some drama as well. Good mix if you ask me... so onwards...

This is the second ep and im not gonna review the first cus' I watched it over a week ago, so if you wanna know about it go watch it! Inari gets pulled to the spirit world due to the divine power implanted in her by Uka (you'd know if you watched) and told that she cant be allowed to roam free with that power in the mortal world. She needs training like any new god... Unless she can pass the penalty game. No transforming for a whole day. Outlook is good but Amaterasu throws some curves and she fails... Or does she? Haha it was all a prank by Amaterasu... Ugly ass chick. At least i think shes one... Pfffft! Inari also was able to give the charm to Tanbabashi to wish him luck. Also finds out he DIDN'T ask Sumizome out, just to be the manager of the basketball team. The episode ends with her and Uka at the shrine with Inari's brother pushing Uka away while telling her to 'Stay away from my sister!'

Nisekoi 3

I guess im again speaking from having read the manga, but this show is pretty great. Chitoge always plays the Tsundere act which is pretty fitting. Whenever Raku hits her with a gorilla woman though he gets his ass handed to him. 

So the act continues... That is them being in a relationship. The both hate it but know its for the good of the town. They were tryin to keep it secret but guess what... Cats outta the bag and the whole school knows. Claude (Chitoge's Guardian) is still very suspicious of them and spies from the windows. Talk about tiring. Raku's mortified, he likes Onodera, because he thinks she'll never know about his feelings. Also, Onodera drops her key and Raku sees it... She lies again about it saying its a house key. Raku also has a breakthrough about how hes been treating Chitoge and realizes shes kinda like him in a few ways. He offers to help her with her awkwardness. 

Onodera also over hears them talking in the classroom about Chitoge not being his real girlfriend and it being a 'performance'.

No-Rin 3

Don't think I've posted about this one yet... So if you've never heard of it... You can check it out Here. Basically, a popular idol decides to retire from show biz and head to the country to goto high school at some agricultural high school. Unknown to her, her BIGGEST fan (Kousaka Hata) goes to this school... Hes Awe-struck more or less and super interested in her....

First 2 eps were good. I like this show, but the manga seems behind. Its always weird when the manga is coming out after the show... Things dont tend to end well. But as they say, "the show mush go on.."

Ep 3 starts with Kousaka returning to the dorm tired as hell to find all his precious 'Yuka-tan' memorabilia GONE. Finds out Minori disposed of it under orders from his mom. Though she explains its for his benefit because Kinoshita would probably hate him if she saw his room like that. Its funny... Minori seems almost 'yandere' in love with Kousaka. Hes dense tho... We begin with a battle between Minori and Kinoshita regarding school activities... in 'Battle Gear' no less... 

And then Minori reveals hers to make it even!.. 

Shit is too funny... Hijinks of course with likes of a cucumber event followed by sweeping up poop in a hen house... all while dressed like that. Culminates with planting rice.. Keep an eye on the teacher, shes a cosplay fanatic. Also his friend dresses up in a super risque swim suit for a guy and there's even an Attack on Titan reference.

The girls end up brawling in the rice field and people go flying. And in the end they become friends,
