All Finished!

All done! Finished watching the other 3 episodes that I didnt get to finish last night. 

Captain Earth ep 6 - This show is actually better than i thought it was going to be. Oddly enough as well there doesnt seem to be a romance tag on it even though it looks like one will develop. Good story about saving humanity from extinction and this episode moved that plot along and even brought some back alley dealings to light. 3/5 from me.

Baby Steps ep 6- The tennis wiz kid lost his match... What you thought he'd win? If you said yes then you've seen way too much shounen anime. Anyway, he lost but learned alot and the coach sees massive potential in Ei-chan. As some one who's read 200+ chapters of the manga (its way way waaaay past this) I can say that I really hope this gets made into a series type deal. Like season 1 2 3 etc. The story is interesting and shows what hard work can really do. 4/5 on this episode... Natsu is kawaii! (spoiler: Ei-chan is crushing on her)

One Week Friends ep 6- Pleasant story about a girl with psychological trauma about her friends that causes specific memory loss. The small lil group of friends are now out in the open and speaking to eachother in class (they were keeping it a secret on the roof for some reason) and they make a trip to Fujimiya's house for a study session. Seems some need to take a make up quiz and if they dont improve, be humiliated. Fun stuff. Also Fujimiya's mom meets secretly with Hase to explain some more of the situation. 3/5 for this episode and i think its gotten to where i stopped in the manga.

After Thoughts

All in all, it was a productive week. Nothing truly standing out about the episodes this week... Unless we factor in GAME OF THRONES!! HAHA, ok thats not anime or game related but it was an AWESOME episode this week. 

Tonight I Watched Some Shows... And Read Some Things.

Let's see here...

No Game No Life episode 3 was pretty good. Not as good IMO as the first 2 but its moving the story along. Sadly it ended without a conclusion to the game but its fine i think. You already know they don't lose if its a game so they will become King/Queen of Imanity more or less. 

Kanojo Ga Flag Wo Oraretara episode 3 was fine as far as the episodes go... I know its still early in the series but again i think the first 2 left more of an impact. They did, however, introduce another girl for Souta's harem... Another childhood friend. This time it's a tomboy girl who is now a man-hating battle girl. I'm sure she'll soften up and show some nice Tsun-dere moments. I look forward to them.

Here's a new one... From out of the blue actually. Picked it up on a complete and utter whim....

<Drumroll>

Captain Earth!

What no applause? So i wasn't sold on the idea... I only read the synopsis like once but was trying to find something to waste about 45 minutes on before bed tonight and gave it a shot. I have to say... Impressed! Enough actually to watch all 3 eps that are available. Wasn't really blown away, the story isn't really that original, but the way they are going about pulling it off is pretty novel and i enjoy the animation. Character designs are good without being overly generic. 3 1/2 or 4 outta 5 I'd say. Good show. If you haven't watched any of this... take a peak, you might be surprised. 

Thats all for now... Well, just one more thing actually... Have you ever had a manga that you just couldnt put down? I'm not perfect, I like to buy the volumes if i can but i DO read most of my stuff online. Usually because they don't sell it in my area in my language... For the life of me i cannot seem to put down Baby Steps. Just completely enthralled with that series. Was glad to see it get animated but im anxious to see how far they take it with a limited number of episodes... Plus the manga has time skips... sometimes months at a time. Going to be interesting going forward.

Baby Steps

This show is starting to peak my interest and at the same time pull me back into wanting to read the manga... I think there's like over 200 chapters out now. I just started over from scratch and I think im back into the 50s now.

I think i mentioned it before, but in case I didn't its kinda the classic setup for a shounen manga. MC is quirky and kind of aloof and gets introduced to something and becomes awesome at it in a short amount of time. That part I'm ok with because you kind of expect it to a small extent... but, its Tennis. Yea, thats right, tennis. They also throw in the object of his desire, the cutest girl in school who also happens to play tennis. Now they have something in common. The romance is subtle but nice.. like they arent emphasizing it but you kinda get the feeling they will get around to it. Anyway, hes a brainiac so to speak and a perfectionist... OCD if you ask me which is fine cuz i can sympathize. 

He's just kinda going through life no really enjoying things but hes super smart and gets all A's in school. He decides he needs to get some exercise and goes to check out STC (a tennis club) for a free trial and Natsu is a member there and shes aiming to be a Pro. He decides to join and ends up jumping feet first into the world of tennis. Also discovers he has a super power so to speak with his eyes... Doesn't every MC need a super power?

I looks like its gonna run for 25 eps so we'll have to see how far along in the manga they're going to take it because the manga actually progresses really fast. Wonder if they're going to have filler? I doubt it but who knows.
