Bladedance of Elementars

Episode 7 is out... Well, I guess it's been out for a couple days. I just got around to watching it...

Decent enough episode. No serious plot development but then again this show is majorly for fan service. I have to say I don't mind that. Well, on the to episode. Maybe I'll just give the major points...

• Kamito figures out where he knows Fianna from.
• Rinslet tells Claire how to make her boobs bigger in exchange for being allowed to join them on the mission to the mining town. Clair gets embarrassed... (classic)
• The Sylphid Knights head to the Mining town as well to investigate but end up getting more or less annihilated but the new "Demon King"
• The gang shows up to help and they join the fight

Thats kind of the way the show ends. Not a bad ending... You do get to see Restia goading the 'New Demon King' Jio to prove hes worthy of the title.

Took a small manga break...

I've been watching a lot anime and keeping as up to date as possible... and decided to take a small break and try and catch up on a few series. For some reason I seem to have like OCD when it comes to manga lately and instead of fully catching up on a series I've been reading... I'll start a brand new one.

Well.. that happened... Again.

Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki

I was considering writing a lil something something about it but I just posted a link to the MAL page for it and that should suffice. I will, however, tell what happens.

So... Boy A tries to sneak a peak into the girls changing room in hopes of seeing Girl C Changing. Girl A ends up obstructing his view but giving him a much better show. With the image burned into his head he becomes enamored with Girl A and asks her out kind of on a whim. To his surprise, she agrees and now they struggle with the awkwardness of being boyfriend/girlfriend and not knowing how to act and also hiding their relationship from everyone. Oh, I also forgot to mention that shes like... super tall... like 20 cm taller than him.

Gotta love the couple dynamic. So far I like it... I didnt really get to experience dating alot when I was younger so its kind of a vicarious type of thing for me... Good story and I cant wait to read more.

Also, if you're interested in reading manga and don't know where to go then I can make some suggestions... Google always helps but may not lead you to the best place.

www.batoto.net
www.mangahere.com
www.starkana.com

Those are probably the main few sites I use. There are others but I'm not going to go through my bookmarks and lay them all out. Also, if you're interested in reading on say a mobile device, I have a suggestion there too...

iPhones you're on your own... I don't like any of the apps on that platform for reading manga. Android however I suggest www.mangawatcher.org. There is an app he has you can download to your phone or tablet and it lets you stream the chapters as well as download them for offline reading. It's what I use just about everyday.

I Didn't Forget...

There were still a couple more episodes I had to watch...

1st up is...

A lot happened in this episode. Hana was kidnapped. Ai used her machine goodfellow to assault the Tenkaidou. Teppei went out in Nebula to try and hold off her debris attack... And... Daichi kills Teppei... We'll leave it at that, OK?

 Next up is...

Some pretty daring shit happened in Rail Wars this week. Firstly... after the way it ended last week, cliffhanger love SQUARE... yea I said square. Hes got Noa, Koumi and Sakurai all pining over him. This shit don't make sense. I understand that its kinda why we watch it but still... This guys is just lucky. Anyway, the episode yea... So Its raining and a mud slide happens and blocks the train. Theres a girl with the an organ that needs to get to a hospital on the other side of the mud slide but no real way to get there now. They find a way of course but some crazy behavior comes along. Just watch.

Uneventful Mahouka

Still ramping up for the whole Thesis thing... you don't really see much of Tatsuya or his sister. They do actually catch the chick who was trying to sabotage the experiment and that made an attempt at stealing data before. But... It kinda seems like they just 'took the episode off' so to speak. Two possible romantic couples could be forming. Shibata and Mikihiko and then Leo and Chiba. Both look interesting but I am finding it hard to find relevance with this little amount of episodes left in the series. Unless of course they are going for a Cliffhanger ending with either a Season 2 or OVA in the future announcement....

A Bunch of Updates..

So, I'm nearing the end of my vacation and its Saturday. Time to watch some Anime...

We'll start with SAO II.

Another story developing episode... I'm not mad but I do hope it picks up soon. The ending was pretty nice with some foreshadowing... Hint hint... Death Gun appears! Yea, I'll give that much away but you should definitely watch this weeks episode. So... On to the next show!

Huge Catch Up! And I think I'm ready for bed...

So I'm pretty sure I just watched about 6-10 episodes... MARATHON STYLE! I didn't get a chance to post about it but I'm on vacation. Me and the fam decided to go camping. Can't imagine what in the world they were really thinking when they came up with that one but we went none the less. Sadly, it was cut short as I had a foot injury. I didn't want to leave tho... I was trying to have us stay so the kids could have fun. Seems they were ready to go home tho too... Should've seen how happy they were to get some Wifi in their lives. Truly a hilarious event.

So I watched like everything that was building up over the weekend. That may not sound like a lot but Saturday is a pretty big day for me... All of my favorites air then. SAO II, Captain Earth, Aldnoah, Rail Wars, Mahouka and Akame ga Kill.

SAO moved the chains and kept the backstory and character development continue.
Captain Earth leaves you in suspense as there is a cliffhanger.
Aldnoah had a nice big turn of the tide so to speak.
Rail Wars is quickly becoming one that I look forward to every week.
Mahouka is doing what Mahouka wants and still kicking ass.
Akame is just that show... I can't put the manga down and the show is the same way.

And now for some mobile gaming

Who here has a smartphone? Huh..? C'mon, put 'em up if you've got an Android or iOS powered device. I'm sure probably 95% of people reading this were raising there hand if not 100%. Mobile gaming for me mostly consisted of my 3DS for the last 6 months... I mean, I dabbled in a few games here and there. 

Some were social like the whole '... with friends' line of games. There is some TD type games, thats Tower Defense for those who don't know, like Field Runners, Anomaly Warzone and even the infamous Plants vs. Zombies is considered a TD I believe. Lately tho... It seems I stumbled into a whole other genre altogether. Seems its called 'combat strategy'. 

Clash is still fun, but I find myself drawn to a game very similar but set in a time thats more to my liking... It's called Samurai Siege. I feel like I kind of wish I could meld the 2 games together because there are some really nice features in Siege that I would love to see carry over into Clash of Clans... Like a training queue, and yea I know that each building has their own but I'm talking about a universal queue that divides the building up evenly among all the open barracks. Also they let you select and entire row of walls and upgrade them all at once instead of each individual wall section. 

Making a long post short... cuz I probably could go on and on for a bit... Download and play this game. At least give it a try.. And if you like Clash then I think you'll fit right in

The Face of the Earth....?

So yea... I didn't fall off it or anything... Just more life in the way you could say. I have managed to catch up on a few series I'd fallen behind on and the craze to finish off Gundam 00 is pretty much taking up my commute to and from work. Hopefully I can finish that off in the next couple of days. Seems like im averaging about 3-5 episodes a day. Not counting if I watch any while I'm home.

Also to note... Akame ga Kill! Yes... this show... WATCH IT!! I'm not a gore fanatic or anything (god knows the manga is pretty gorey) but this show is really bloody... But you kind of get the feeling it needs to be that way. People are being killed and pretty violent ways and the show isn't pulling any punches and I like that. I don't know about any of you... that is to say people who may or may not read this but I started watching anime mainly because I loved cartoons as a kid. As I got older the cartoons didn't and I found my interests moving to more adult oriented material. This of course led to manga and anime in general.

I implore you to please... watch this show and enjoy the story. I know its a tad cliché with its shounen themes and plot but it is still worth it. The action is pretty great and I can't wait to see how far they take the show. There are some pretty neat twists coming up and I'm anxious to see how they will handle this in the anime adaptation of the manga.

Games Games GAMES!!!

So I've been playing games alot more than usual lately and I think this trend will only continue. There are some really hot titles that are coming out very soon and I can only hope I'll save up enough to afford the ones I really want...

Destiny

FIFA 15

Madden

Shadows of Mordor

Evolve

Assassins Creed Unity

(I'm not putting all their logos... just calling it on that)

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare

Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Dragon Age: Inquisition

FarCry 4

Hell, even the re-release of Diablo 3 on consoles kind of has me wanting to get it... The point and click is never really appealing. I've always been a direct control kind of guy. Hell, my best friend tried to get me to play EVE Online and I tried it for a while but it would have been so much more fun if I had direct control of the ships instead of point and click.

Those are just the games that I can think of... I know theres a few more I'd consider dabbling in... like Sunset Overdrive or Alien Isolation or even a couple hack 'n' slash like Sacred 3. 

Either way... This holiday season is going to be bumpin'!

Matane!

Gundam 00

This series is a lil old I know but I'm just getting around to really watching it. I think I started it probably about 2 or 3 times and never got past episode 7.

... Not this time!

I had forgotten how epic most Gundam shows are... This is a great story with so much depth of character and great plot twists. It even made me get Season 2 prepped and ready to go for when I finish this up. 

I'm nearly done too... I just finished episode 23. Man I hate that mercenary dude... the one who made Setsuna kill his family when he was a kid. Someone needs to kill him and soon!

I really feel bad for that Saji kid... First his girl gets blown up by the ignorant bitch of a Gundam Meister who is just jealous cuz they had money... Second, his older sister dies from that Mercenary because she learns too much... Hes just a sad sad soul.
