Anyone know what that means? Anyone? Well, it basically means that the line up for today is...
Blade & Soul 4
Nanana's Buried Treasure 3
Episode Breakdown:
Blade & Soul continues right where 3 left off... Alka injured and the Pleasure Gang 90% demolished. The owned of the main Inn saved the leader and a couple members of the gang and when Alka was shot she fell off the cliff into the water. A couple kids found her and shes been asleep 3 days.
The boy takes Alka's sword and starts attacking and killing people to steal things and food for him and his sister. All the while Alka is having a dream about her master and lessons she must understand. She eventually wakes up but has a problem and can't see.
The boy rips off the wrong people and they come back to recover the stolen goods. He ends up paying with his life but Alka finally gets her sight back and kills the two men to came. His poor little sister is left alone... and ends up working for the Inn/Bar Owner. It's a lil rough but thats the gist of the ep... Would however suggest watching on your own.
Nanana's Buried Treasure sees our gang finding a ruin for one of the collection. Juugo, Tensai and the Prez go in to try and retrieve it. Tensai figures out the trick to the puzzle and Juugo and the prez carry out the plan to get it. However, HUGE BACKSTAB!! Prez incapacitates them and steals the treasure for himself.
Tensai and Juugo manage to live by sitting on the chest hugging... Things get a lil hot and heavy... Tensai kinda starts falling for Juugo (kinda figured it'd happen). The police come to save them and Juugo volunteers to tell the cops everything while Tensai and her lil maid friend go free to find out the activities of the Prez.
----------End of the Breakdown----------
Both eps are worth their watching and do what they can to move the story along. Hopefully more action from both of them next week...
So I've read some reviews about this... and for some reason people are downing on this. I have no idea why because its a good show. I can see what they were talking about, because the story is pretty involved but not really developed.
Like the MC wanted to leave home but we dont know why. He comes to live in a dorm room that's haunted by a beautiful girl who has the ability to make contact with the living world. Uhh.. what?! Shes a ghost and can make herself transparent and solid when she wants. Its too convenient if you ask me. But I'll put that aside because its basically a minor detail.
Nanana was kind of a big deal... Like, the founder of the island they live on big deal and the land lady was her best friend. Poor Juugo is just swept up into this situation. You also run into the lil blonde girl and her maid... She's apparently a self proclaimed 'Master Detective' with a maid side kick. Oh and yea, the maid is also a trap. God forbid you don't know what a trap is... look it up(here).
Blade & Soul - This show has one episode left and I'm anxiously awaiting its conclusion. Although skeptical at first (I mean really... an anime based on an MMORPG that hasn't even been released yet), but the art style is awesome and this story isn't terrible. The story premise is good but has a lot of holes and is a bit vague. The main points are easy to follow and its moving the plot along quite nice... Just hope they explore more about why Alka and Jin are polar opposites and what brought about the slaying of her clan/master to trigger the vengeance path for Alka. I'm the kind of guy that likes lore and stuff like that and we just weren't given everything... Whether or not they make up for it in this last episode only time will tell...
