Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's Ep4

We are introduced to the kawaii side of the new antagonists and Fate-chan!!!! Her introduction to her class was sooo kawaii with her blushing and Nanoha blushing (dunno why) BUT!! The highlight of this ep was definitely the new "power up" scenes. The part where the two magic staffs loaded their catridge component with the sound effects had a majestic feeling. ...Or is it just me getting all hyped up for battle round 2??? ^_^

Mai-Otome Ep3

Nagi somehow tricks the brat, Mashimaro, into having a match between Arika and Nina to decide who stays in Garderobe. And the match is held on the day she is crowned princess as an entertainment show. OoO In order for Arika to battle, she is infused with a dose of Nanomachines which is activated by Shizuru's gem... through a hug... ^oO (Natsuki seems jealous...hehe)


The match starts, and Nina is not holding back (not surprising, since she doesn't really like Arika). Thus, Arika gets whacked but still holds out...
Meanwhile, Shizuru discovers an intruder and battles him...which leads to the utter destruction of the just completed reconstruct of the palace -_-b Oh well... building collapses, people in danger, and many royals to protect and pacify. Seems like Ep4 will be busy...

Magical Lyrical Girl Nanoha A's Ep1-3

Nanoha A's 1st ep was fantastic. From the start, where both girls looked at each other's photos and blushed oh so kawaiily, to the thrilling fight btwn Nanoha and the new girl (which she surprisingly lost), this debut of the sequal was a real enjoyment.


Ep2 carried where the previous one ended, with Fate suavely saving Nanoha in the nick of time. But!!! The new girl has friends too!!! So she ends up getting in deep shit.


Finally, when Nanoha decides to use starlight breaker to help break the deadlock/barrier, a scary hand appears out of no where to absorb Nanoha's magical powersource into some book. It's such a sneaky and low move!!!!



In the end, even though the "bad guys" retreated due to Nanoha breaking the barrier (whateva imptance of it is lost on me), Nanoha's team really suffered a big defeat here. But, this just all makes the 2nd ep awesome!! The animation was top quality. Hardly any fights of recent anime had such umph in it.


Finally, in ep3, they have a proper reunion!! In Nanoha's hospital room ^^b And this scene was done very well, with all the subtleties of their emotions!!! I just fed off the undercurrents haha.Awww... don't they just look so cute. ^o^

Mai-Otome Ep2

Oh well. Ep2 lacked ep1's action, but made it up with lots of comedy. Arika's infatuated with being a maid, while Nina's good intentions of helping Mashiro-hime just seemed insignificant to all other members of the council(whoever they are). Man... Mashiro's such a brat here. Conclusion of Nina's hearing, which took place while Arika was being chased around by other otomes (cool intro for Nao and Chie by the way ^_^), is for a battle btwn Nina and Arika to decide who stays.

Ahh... Shizuru is still her old self as usual.


See!! Arika's so popular even BEFORE she enters the school. Can't imagine what'll happen when she's admitted...

Mai-Otome Ep1

Hmmm... haven't been doing blogging on animes for a while... oh well... taking a breather from all the crappy tests... Lemme rejoice in the come back of Shizuru!!! Mai-Otome has started (definitely no GSD withdrawal here) and the first ep just rocks!!! Some complains though: If only they had more of Natsuki...If only Shizuru's costume weren't so...purple ^^b. BUT! Shizuru's cool debut just kicks ass! Looking forward to ep2!

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

Oh man... looks can be deceiving. Anybody who dismisses this show just bcos it seems like a typical shoujo mahou anime is really missing out. (of course, if u don't like shoujo at all then...) What can I say。。。有种找到金库的感觉/惊喜. Heh.I thought the 2 mains were done very well, and the focus was done nicely such that the supports were necessary and yet at the same time insignificant in that they didn't take up much screentime (so there's more for the 2 main girls ^_^) the animation was really very polished for an anime of this genre and low profile. best thing is: There a second season!!! Yay!!!

Definitely an underrated anime. I give it 8/10 (cos the first 4eps were not that good, but the rest sure rocked!)

GSD Final Ep

It's the end. Well... I liked the action. I liked the eye-candy. I liked that Athrun totally owned Shinn (Non-seed and seed mode). I liked that Orb didn't get obliterated.

BUT! I didn't like that Cagalli didn't even get to say a word in the ending. I didn't like that the ending never gave much as to what happens thereafter especially for Shinn, since he's the main lead, and all he did was start bawling when Messiah fell. I didn't like the wierd and unexplained decision of Talia to stay with Gilbert to the end. I didn't like that Rey's final decision was so abrupt and illogical. Man... This could be a long list. Basically, this ending didn't FEEL like an ending as there was no feeling of closure to it. Too many loose-ends that i feel the writers should not be so lazy to leave out. As ompared to seed's ending (yes, I'm comparing because destiny IS sequal) this one really has no impact at all. In all, quite disappointed.
