Sword Art Online II

   Okairi Readers! Since SAO has up to 4 episodes for now, and I have already watched all of it. So this will be a short summary of each episode, like how I did in the post before. But first, let me wish my Singaporean readers, Selamat Hari Raya!

   Moving on, SAO 2 episode 1:
   I don't know about you readers but episode 1 was disappointing. I wasn't much of a big fan for the first season and I only started watching it when it ended because Raion-kun told me to. So I expected SAO 2 to really grab my attention through the first episode. However, it didn't. If it weren't for the other episodes, I wouldn't have continued watching it actually. Anyways, the first episode was mainly about Kirito and this "megane" guy talking about a killer in a game, Gun Gale Online a.k.a GGO.

   Episode 2:
   This was way better than episode 1. They should've show more of this to grab the attention of people. Sorry if I've offended any SAO fans. Episode 2 focused on the new female character, Sinon. I kinda like her. in GGO that is. Real life? Well, she needs to do something about the bullies. I don't like bullies. *pouts* Anywhale, her GGO avatar is cool. And not only that, she's strong AND a sniper. Cool.

   Episode 3:
   Oh wait. my bad. In episode 3 we get to see her in real life. Episode 2 showed her in GGO only. Oh well, basically in episode 3 she gets bullied and her past? Well, I have to say it sucks bad. Did her mother left her after the incident? That's really sad. She was only trying to protect her. *sigh* Anyways, yeah. I love how this is going. I bet Kirito will help her.

   Episode 4:
   Episode four! We finally get to see Kirito in GGO! ... AS A GIRL?! Yes, I know. It's a guy but really, we don't need the long lashes do we?

   So, Kirito joined GGO in search for the killer with the Death Gun. He met Sinon, but she thought that he was a girl. With that she showed him around, shops and guns. Kirito being the OP character, with 1000 credits, played a game and won 302 000 credits. IT WAS AWESOME!

   That's all for now. I'm quite busy today. So, see you soon! I'll post a lot more: Glasslip, Ao Haru Ride, Kuroshitsuji, Free and more!

   Hello readers! My sincerest apology for not posting these few days, due to having tests in school. Not only that, but I will be busy for the next two days especially. I won't be near my lappy (laptop) at all. *cries* Do excuse me just for these few days.

   Anyways, on a brighter side, TOKYO GHOUL IS AWESOME. I'm not really into gore anime but heck, Tokyo Ghoul is fighting for first place (which is Attack on Titan) in my "Awesome Anime List"!! Since I've already watched the first 3 episodes, let me give a brief comment on what I think about it.

Episode 1:
   It got me absorbed in it instantly. Especially all the intense scene like, Rize trying to kill him and also... Well, it was the most intense hamburger eating ever. And am I the only one who find it cool when he first opened his Ghoul eyes?!?

Love it.

Hamburger is so nice, he's crying. *giggle*

   Oh! And my favourite character? Kaneki, because well, I can't wait to see his transformation. And also Touka because she is one fierce girl/ghoul.

Episode 2:

   After each episode, it just keep on becoming better and better. Plus, the Opening song is too darn cool. Listening to it every time. Loudly. Anyways, what I really love in this episode was how Kaneki fight with Nishiki Nishio when he got mad at him. Damn, I'm loving Kaneki more and more, I scared my love for Attack on Titan 's Levi will fade. (Just kidding. I hope not. O_O)

ouh. So this is how it is without them censoring it...

   I forgot to mention how they actually censored it. That sucks. I mean, Attack on Titan wasn't censored.. *pout* This would've been more awesome is it wasn't censored.

Episode 3:

   Favourite scene? When Kaneki met Uta of course! Omg Uta is next on my list. He is so cute. I thought he would be those lonely but cool characters who won't talk to the main character much. But no. He exceeded my expectation. Love it! ♥

Come back here you. Let me smell you.

   Well, that's all for now. I really apologise for the delay but i will try to post it asap whenever I can!

Quick Post: Heh... ^^"

   Hello reader, just a drop-by since I will PROBABLY not write an anime post later. I'll be having a test later... again... Did I study enough? *cough* *chokes*

   Anyways, I'm currently watching Tokyo Ghoul episode 1 right now. It looks cool but I might probably ask Raion-kun to post about it since I focus more on shoujo and romance. (hey, i still do watch animes with other genre!) Plus, he likes this kind of gore and scary stuffs so why not?

   Break time is ending so stay tuned for the next post soon! ♥

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Episode 14

MissSaru: Like I said before, Raion will be moved here as well. should I call it "RaionTime"? Hmmm.. *thinks deeply* 

Hey, OtakuRaion here. Well this episode was quite a build up at the ending. Well, we all know how each episode there’s always a build up to the next episode. For example the cliff hangs and such. Great thing about this anime is that it keeps you hooked on. Anyways, well, it starts off the episode with Tatsuya being confronted by Cardinal George as well as the Crimson Prince who are both known as prodigies. 

Yes, yes he is. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Anyways, since Mitsui got past her semi-finals using her optical illusion magic to blind her opponents, all of ‘em decided to wear shades. Hahahahah. They’re kinda smart for doing so… WRONG! Well, obviously this genius always plans ahead. Tsk. Dumb Tatsuya, wish I could do that too.. pssh. Anyways, yeah, instead of blinding her opponents, Tatsuya knew they would all resort to wearing shades and took advantage of that by creating shadows on the water surface using Mitsui’s optical illusion magic to uhmm..

Well let’s let this guy explain.

\

Yes yes, what he said. Nahh, I’m just kidding. Simply said, she’s making the corners look wider so that her opponents will take the longer path in each corner while she takes the shorter one which gives her and advantage at all the corners. And ofcourse Tatsuya used the fact that they were all wearing shades to do this. With this, Mitsui won~~~ yeay!!!! (yeah, good for you Tatsuya, bet ur feeling smug right now huh. Pfft.)

Next up was Shizuku against Miyuki. I don’t really exactly know the spell names but this is what I can understand. Miyuki always starts off by freezing her pillars and heating up her opponents’.

Shizuku then tried to damage Miyuki’s pillars but she didn’t manage to put a single dent. So she took out another CAD and started dual wielding. She had mastered this new technique and used a high level spell to destroy one of Miyukis’ pillars called the Phonon Maser.

But Miyuki pulled out her absolutely ridiculously OP trump card. Casting a combo of Niflheim and Inferno. How this works is she covered Shizukus’ pillars with liquid nitrogen with Niflheim, a wide-range freezing magic then causing an explosion by lighting up the liquid nitrogen, destroying all of shizukus’ pillars in an instant. Seriously, way too OP.

  

Literally wiping out all of shizukus’ pillars in one shot.

Anyways, I will skip some parts. So lastly was the accident for the Monolith code. Apparently, first highs’ team was sabotaged and all three members participating the event got critcally injured and confined to bed.

Someone finally noticed the high possibility that Tatsuya was Taurus Silver. GOD! FINALLY!

Damn, she’s so cute, look at her shocked face after figuring it out. I just wanna pinch her cheek〜(￣▽￣〜)

MissSaru: Raion stop being a perv. That emoji though... hahahaha.

And finally, Tatsuya was called in to participate in the Monolith code, she must have told the president about it. I cant wait to see how Tatsuya fights. Ooooooo~

Till next time ^~^

Ao Haru Ride Episode 2: Page 2 (2)

   I'm back from school! The test? Pfsh. (─‿‿─) Don't worry bout it. Haha! Haha.. Ha.. *faints* (￣ ￣|||)Moving on, I will continue on Ao Haru Ride. After Futaba talked to Makita, she continued her way to the office, only to find (Mabuchi) Kou talking to Tanaka-sensei. What were they talking about?

Sassy. (⊙_⊙)

   Obviously, with his sassy / feisty mood, Futaba couldn't help but...

   Ah! She. Is. So. Kawaii. And so dorky, I love her. (─‿‿─)♡Yes, she slammed the door and her sensei was like, "please enter the faculty room more quietly" (￣_￣)・・・ , and handed her the books. She had her hands full so she finds it difficult to open the sliding door so she used her leg. Idk bout you readers but will you do the same? Or am I the baka one here? I'd use my knee, my back, my shoulder, anything BUT my leg. Yes, I'm "smart" like that. *puffs up chest and looking proud* (⌒ω⌒)

 "That looked hard to manage by yourself. Your friends-in-name-only didn't help you I guess?"

"If you think it looks hard, why don't you help me?"

"Huh... no."

   Pfft! Great answer Kou! He fled after Tanaka-sensei called out to him, calling him annoying. Yep. He really stick to his words and not lending Fubata a hand.

Kou's all like: ヽ(￣～￣　)ノ

   Oh well, why not let his doppelganger help instead? I actually likes how Tanaka-sensei took more than half of it from her. True gentleman indeed. ( ◡‿◡ *)

      Moving on, we get to see two new characters, a girl named Murao and another blonde guy, Kominata. I see a love triangle blooming soon. *smirk* (｀ー´)Anyways, When Futaba came back, she sat together with Chie and Asumi. Asumi (I think that's her name. I'm not sure which is which. Gomen.) pointed out where she got the keychain from in her pocket. Futaba said that Makita gave it to her, adding that she was talking to her when she was eating alone.

"She got nerves of steel!" *giggle*
..."Do you really think that's true?"
"What's the matter? If she doesn't want to be alone, she can go and hang out with boys."

   With the last line, Futaba is remembered of her past, she too was like Makita, alone because girls were jealous of her. And that concludes why she acts all unglam and unfeminine on purpose. This snapped something within her, and she speak up her true feelings about it.

   With that, the whole class went silent. Futaba, realising what she just blurted out, tried to push it away saying "Just Kidding!" ☆ ～('▽^人)

But then Makita stepped into the class and said ...
"If you say you hate me... That means you care about what I'm doing, right? Take that!"

   Asumi and Chie then walked off, obviously at a lost for words. Only to inform Futaba that now they know how Futaba really think of them. Yup, friendship = OVER. Futaba then fell silent, thinking that she only doesnt want to be alone but now she already done what she did and came this far. She walked off to head somewhere to be alone. (⌣̀_⌣́)

   As if fate, Kou leaned out from the window, asking what she was doing by herself and "What happened to your friends?" DAYUM. Can he get any meaner? No I'm not mad about it; instead I like it. (*ﾉ∀`*)Futaba replied, saying that it was his fault for pointing it out that she was playing at friendship. Then she stopped, saying it's all her fault with tears welling up in her eyes.

And overflowing too.

   She turned away from him apologising, when suddenly there were guys coming from all directions, thus she was unable to hide her crying. Okay readers, at this point I literally squeal like a pig ヽ(｀(00)´)ノ in my heart because...

   Yes. yes... YESSSSSSSSS. *squeals again* Best part, he looked away, totally oblivious to the guys who walked past commenting stuffs like "Jeez, school's no place to be flirting." Argh, right in my kokoro ♥. While she was being hugged, Kou's scent is nostalgic to her, bring back memories. After she cooled down, ...

"You got lost in pursuing your goal, huh? I guess you were working so hard, you lost sight of that goal."

Give me a moment to let out a fangirling squeal at how he still holds her... (*/ω＼)

      With that, he walks off and told Futaba to stop calling him Tanaka already. It might be painful for him when Futaba calls him that, and calling him Mabuchi might lead to losing the Tanaka she knew so...

"Kou!"

   He stopped in his tracks, commenting "calling by my first name already?" But he doesn't stop her from doing so at all. ♥ No wait, this deserve so much more hearts: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

   I'll stop here. Readers, you can continue by watching how everything ended (which, I assure you is worth watching. I'm just selfish enough to stop it here.) Can't wait for the next episode!

Ao Haru Ride Episode 2: Page 2 (1)

   Hello readers! Didn't go to school today because, well, I rather catch up on my revision (which I didn't do at all yesterday) for my test later on. (¬д¬。) So yeah. As promised, episode 2 of Ao Haru Ride! Seriously, I can't wait for episode 3. (￣▽￣)ノ It will probably subbed and aired later on today or tomorrow. Can't wait.

   Episode 2 started off with the past, when they were playing 'cops and thief'? When the 'cops' team were counting down the 'thieves' ran off to hide somewhere. Futaba went to hide behind a wooden shelter nearby, however when she got there Kou was already hiding. <insert pause moment> (゜-゜)

   She apologised m(_ _)m and said that she will go and find another hiding place but Kou grabbed her by the arm, saying that cops team is on the move. While Kou was looking out, he fell slightly back probably because the cops team were nearby. And at that moment...

   Awwww. Anyways, Kou turned to her and both were surprised at how close their faces were. And then Kou told her to stay there while he ran off to get the 'cops' attention away from the hiding place. But he got caught. *chuckle* (ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉSo cute. Futaba tried to save him but both were caught. Kou thanked her when she attempted to save him. Seems like the perfect and happy days huh? Well...

"We can't go back to those days..."

   Back to the present, this episode mainly focuses on the right friends to have, and basically about the friendship Futaba has. Anyways, Futaba and her friends were eating lunch in the classroom together due to  the incident that happened in the last episode. When she got accused by the woman mending the bun stall of stealing, her "friends" doubted her (¬､¬) instead of helping or listening to Futaba.

"You're just playing at friendship."

   Asumi and Chie stopped eating (except for Futaba) when the boys in the class were talking to Makita.

      Why they have to be so mean? ヽ( ｀0´)ﾉ Anyways, a teacher came over to look for Futaba and asked her to come over to the office to get back notes and books of students in her class. She asked if Chie and Asumi wanted to help her (since they're heavy and the office is far) but both declined. (︶︹︺) While she was walking out, she saw Makita eating alone outside. (It's COLD outside)

    Futaba approached her and they both started talking, realising that she was just naturally cute (I wish I was too. Pfsh.) (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞFutaba noticed a cute keychain she has on her phone, which is just like what she has on her bag. Makita gave her a similar one, saying that it has nothing to do with character when Futaba said it doesn't fit with her unglam and unfeminine character.

"Thanks for talking to me. I know everyone finds me really annoying. I know I put on a cutesy act but ... when I'm in front of boys, I get so nervous, I just do it. But everyone puts on nice clothes and makeup to look good for other people, right?"

   Deep words. With that, Futaba thanked her for the keychain and gave her a hand warmer as an exchange (because Makita's hands were cold).

   I don't like to keep posts too long so next up I'll solely focus on Kou and Futaba. ♥ （●´∀｀）ノ♡

Ao Haru Ride: Page 1

   Okairi Readers. Is the above picture familiar to you? ＼(￣O￣) It's a new Romance/Shoujo anime, Ao Haru Ride, also known as Blue Spring Ride. Okay before I say anything else, I'll give you the synopsis of this anime:

Futaba Yoshioka wants to "reset" her life. In junior high, girls ostracized Yoshioka because too many junior high boys liked her. The only boy Yoshioka liked, Kou Tanaka, moved away before she could tell him how she felt. Now in high school, Yoshioka is determined to be unladylike so her new friends will not become jealous of her. While living her new life contentedly, she meets Kou again, but he now uses the name Kou Mabuchi and has a cold attitude. He tells her that he liked her too in junior high, but feels differently now. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that never started three years ago?

   Okay I'll be honest. ( ･_･) When I saw this before in the "upcoming anime" section, I didn't really appeal to me at all. Let's just say...

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?? (」ﾟヘﾟ)」

   This shoujo anime is awesome. (*°∀°)=3 I'm so glad I was finding for new anime because I realised that there isn't much shoujo genre at all. All I have is Glasslip. *cries* ( ≧Д≦) But never fear, this is the new Shoujo for me. And I'm so so so so happy!! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ I'll give a brief summary about episode 1, and then I'll move on to episode two in the next post.

   In episode 1, we get to see how they both met in Middle High. Futaba was running from school because it started raining. There was a shrine in her neighbourhood, where she took shelter for awhile. There, she met Kou Tanaka. (She calls him Tanaka)

"It came down... pretty suddenly, huh?"
"Yeah..."

   After an awkward silence passed, Futaba blurted if he will be going to the Shrine Festival after seeing a poster on the ground. She turned red and started to blabber when Kou went over and drape his gym shirt on her head to dry herself off. (Don't worry he hasn't worn it yet, that's what he said) ♥

   Well, anyways, they start to hang out more often after that until an incident happened. A classmate of hers (guy) start asking/annyoed her along the corridors if she is going out with Kou. She then shouted "I just hate all boys!" ヽ(｀◇´)/ , not realising that Kou just came out from his class. Ouch, I know. 

   With that, he left. when I said left I mean not just the scenario but also left school without meeting her when he promised to. Oh cmon, he's not that sensitive. Basically he left school because he had to move out.

   Three years had passed, and people change:
   Fubata became.. well.. Less "cuter". （￣ε￣＠） She purposely changed herself to fit in with others because when she's in Middle high, all the girls hated her due to jealousy. She's naturally being herself. So now she changed, having "fake" friends (that's what Kou called) and always making herself be unglam.

Let's be a seal shall we?

   Tanaka Kou became... hmm... he became Mabuchi Kou. Due to his parents divorcing, he changed his surname. He's more quiet and mean, especially towards Fubata. Oh! He became hotter too. (●♡∀♡) My type of anime guys, dark-haired and cool. ♥

Anyone agrees with me that whenever he does this it's cute as FUDGE? (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

   Anyways, sorry for the long awaited post. I can't manage it by myself for these few days because exam week is starting tomorrow! OMG I haven't study yet!! Episode 2 & 3 will be posted up soon! Stay tuned!
