Gundam Seed Destiny 47

U maybe wondering why no screencaps or review this wk for this ep.
Reason: IT'S A FREAKING RECAP!!!
18+ minutes on Mia's lifestory. As if we couldn't figure out that - she was approached behind closed doors, had surgery, was excited abt impersonating Lacus, eventually went delusional abt being Lacus, have a crush over Athrun and totally taken in by Gilbert's sugar-coated speeches - ON OUR OWN!

If this was shown sometime ago (not so near the ending!!) and if there wasn't a recap like 6eps ago, I wouldn't have been so pissed.

Destiny Plan: Ur life decided by ur genes. No more disputes, no more arguments. Everything is settled by fate and u have to succumb to it.

So the whole story of the show was freedom to choose ur life vs ur life being decided for you aka
Freedom vs Destiny
Wow. I'm so surprised.
I'm seeing a Kira and Shinn fight somewhere in the finale already... (debating whether it'll be better than the Athrun/shinn fight, cos athrun really likes to preach to shinn, so probably not much shinn's ass kicking then...)

The 3 variable Funny Test








the Wit

(57% dark, 38% spontaneous, 31% vulgar)

your humor style:
CLEAN COMPLEX DARK


You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.

Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion.

You probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

Naruto Ep150: The Grand Bug Battle!!

Hinata rocks!!!!! So does Shino! Really. Filler eps are so frustrating to people who have seen the manga already. But, honestly, I think this finding bikochuu arc is good. How many times do we actually see the other genins working it out??? They deserve their screentime also. Byakugan is just sooo cool!!!

Gundam Seed Destiny ep46

After destroying the requiem and its moon main cannon, Dullindal orders a "vacation" for Minnerva and the moon squad. Meanwhile, onboard AA (on Corpenicus, i think that's how it's spelt), Athrun and Kira discuss abt Shinn and Dullindal. Athrun expresses his disbelief with Kira's loss to Shinn, and Kira says he was hesistating to attack Zaft and was more worried abt getting Cagalli back to Orb safely (There. We have it. He was distracted. Stupid plot device to make the Ultimate Coordinator lose.)

So, we have Lacus and co going on a shopping spree. A break for her since she has been living in ships ever since dunno when (AA then eternal). And well, we sorta have a comedic scene when Kira absolutely irritates Lacus-sama with his "oks" and other quite nonchalent replies on the clothes :) (it's such a typical bgr scene i find it so cute)
Left: Hehe... nv seen Lacus with this face before. It's good to see the lighthearted side of her, suitable for her age, once in a while...
Right: Then, they received a msg from Mia's Haro, saying "Help! I'm going to killed!" (hehe ^_^" don't ask me. I didn't know their english were that...)Knowing it's a trap, they still went for it... much to Athrun's exasperation.


As expected, they were attacked. And amidst the chaos, the 2 lacuses finally get to talk...somewhat.

While they were talking, Athrun pulls off some cool stunts, proving he's the ace when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. <33 When they thought the coast was clear, the cliche scene of "blocking a bullet for someone" is pulled off by... *drumroll* none other than our Miss Mia Campbell!!! Crap. She saved Lacus. (oh well... it was her who instigated this assasination attempt anyway :lol:)

So here's the reaction from Athrun over losing one of his harem member (right bottom pic)...Seriously, he's crying a river. Over Mia. He only shedded a few tears over his father's death and he's bawling over Mia??? Talk about drama...

No mecha action, but some story movement and more character interaction, esp ShinnxLuna to make it make more sense, and Athrun & Kira finally talking abt Shinn. But, didn't really appreciate the producers' wierd way of handling Mia's death. What was her "heroic" death supposed to accomplish?

Gokujou Seitokai 22

gokujou trading card game!!

Two camps: opposition (nanaho,rein,sayuri, rino) and proposition(the rest, minus Kaname)

and the winner is....

As we all know, even if she won, things would always go back to square one...and as usual, Nanaho gets the short end of the straw >.< kawaii sou na (haha, her image totally "ruined" by Pikoto-chan)


I thought this ep was kinda lame at first with the trading/game card thing. But i watched the subs and found it real funny and enjoyed it. Pure comedic really is what makes gokujou fun. Gloom and angst really don't suit it =)

Witch Hunter Robin Review

After MONTHS of downloading, I finally finished this series. I really was very interested at the beginning. The gloomy and dark feel intrigued me, and the animation was top-notch. The main lead, Robin, was a mystery that pulled me towards the show. Rather arrogant, silently, and green in some areas when she first started, she was humbled somewhat by the seniors like Amon and Kawasumura. But she took it in her stride and accepted the lessons gracefully. When she finally was in control of her powers in the early eps, I thought much more was installed for us viewers. However, the middle part of the story failed to engage. Many episodical events, mainly on the hunts of witches by the STNJ and how circumstances affected different witches to react, and do what they did. I won't say that they were unimportant, as they somewhat affected Robin's conflicting views of the witches and how she will come to terms about what she is. But there were just too many of such eps that it degraded to unnecessary filler. The story picked up at 14/15 but went downhill again. After that, even when more was revealed, the show just did not pack enough suspense and thrill to get back that enthusiasm.

Another show that shows how ignorant and ugly human nature is:
We fear what we do not know and we twist what we cannot have into something ugly. Jealousy and the huge crave for power...

Overall: 7 (it would've gotten an 8 if the story weren't that predictable and Amon not that dislikeable)
