I know that it has been some time since this series ended, but I have put off blogging the second season of this anime for some time (about two or three years) and now I want to see what happens with Hijikata and company. I will be blogging this series, with no in deepth reviews of what occurs in each episode. I understand that some people will be upset with this, but I have so much anime that I want to blog, my pile of OVA’s, specials, etc just continue to grow, so I have decided to do this. This episode of Hakuouki marks the seventh episode of the second season of Hakuouki, and I thought that the scene where Chizo displays her new unifrom to Hijakata in this episode was nice moment IMO.

As I was watching this episode of Another, I questioned why dolls in this series have nipples, as obviously the scences of the dolls, are meant to add atmosphere to the series, not add a WTF moment to the series IMO. Anyway the dolls aside, I thought that this episode was interesting as the viewer got to see Misaki’s another eye, that has been covered up, in the past episodes of Another. I thought that the way this episode ended was really interesting, as there’s obliviously more going on then meets the eye. Overall, I thought this episode of Another, was better then the previous two episodes, and I look foward to see how this series will play out.

As it’s again the middle of the week, I always look foward to the next episode of Chihayafuru, and this week is a recap episode of what has happened to date in this series. As recap episodes I find to be boring, I was happy in that there was some new animation to show the various characters from the series in SD (superdeformed) mode. I thought that the new animation was better then no new animation at all, so it was a decent recap episode IMO. I wonder why their was a recap episode placed in this series, as I felt that the time could be spent on developing the cast of Chihayafuru more. This series continues to be good, and I can’t wait to see how the remaining ten episodes will play out, as IMO this series is getting better and better each week.

Shin! Gattai! Go Aquarion! Before I get into a review of this episode, I would like to talk about the pairing of Amata and Mikono. From the get go it seems that these two characters will be a couple, though IMO it’s going to pretty much an interesting ride to see how the two characters will drift closer together. This episode of Aquarion also marks the first union for Mikono. Also this episode marked the return of Aquarion’s infinity punch which I thought was pretty normal for an anime based on the Aquarion franchise. I thought it was interesting to see some trademarks reused in this sequel/franchise of Aquarion. Overall, I thought this episode was much better then the previous episode of Aquarion EVOL, mainly due to the forced fanservice from episode three.

As it’s puzzle time again, this episode of Phi Brain – Kami no Puzzle further develops the character Gammon. As Gammon has been missing in action in the recent episodes of Phi Brain – Kami no Puzzle, I thought that this episode showing off Gammon’s ego and different sides of Gammon’s personality, was IMO nice to see, as I still want Gammon to get together with the idol puzzle chick from episode ten. As it has been announced that Phi Bran – Kami no Puzzle is getting a second season, I personally can’t wait to see what happens next in the next season, as I’m betting that the series will be getting darker and darker. Overall, I thought that this episode was excellent, and I can’t wait until it’s puzzle time next week.

As this episode of Gundam Age is likely the last episode of seeing chibi-Flint in action, I thought that this episode ended on a good note. As I’m of the pairing Flint X Yurin, I’ll pretty much take anything of this pairing, even ghoast Yurin hugging Flint. I won’t go into much detail about what occurs in this episode, as I thought this episode ended on a dark tone.

This episode of Gundam Seed IMO was a better than average episode, in that it development and expanded the on why the teenagers in this series join in, and be a member of the Archangel. I thought that that the talk that trasnpired between the elder cast member of the Archangel was interesting, as it’s interesting seeing the dynamics of the cast develop. I thought that the way this episode ended was interesting, as it seems the next episode of Gundam Seed will mainly be an episode dedicated to the Archangel’s fighting off the ZAFT forces.

As Brave 10 is an anime series that features a few bishies, this episode of Brave 10 featured the introduced of Ana, a bishoujo warrior. Ana IMO reminds be of Soi from Fushigi Yugi, as I found Ana to be quite a tall character, then compared to Isanami. I thought that this episode of Brave 10 was interesting, and it was good to see IMO that there’s blood in this series, as it mostly ommited in most anime series.Overall, I thought this episode was interesting, and I can’t wait to see see the gang called Brave 10, to expand.

As Last Exile – Fam, The Silver Wing has been developing the Gracies and Dian in the previous five or so episodes, this epsiode deals with the battle with the Gracies in this episode of Last Exile – Fam, the Silver Wing. As studio Gonzo IMO are a famous animation studio due to doing interesting anime projects with incorperating 3DCG, this episode of Last Exile shows that the quality of 3DCG is still near the best in the anime industry, with another episode showcasing their 3DCG techniques, while adding more tension to the storyline. As I won’t go into details about this episode of Last Exile, I will mention that I was surprised of the amount of russian this episode had, as it look me some time to get used to reading the kanji in this episode. Overall, I thought that this episode was tense and well written, and see ya next flight/week.

Being a fan of anime and movies in genral, and also being a big Detective Conan fan, I have decided to take a small break from the Detective Conan franchise to give some variety in my blogging. As I’m a fan of Production I.G and Fantsay genre in general, I was very excited about this project, that I couldn’t resist bloging this movie series. The background of Broken Blade is that it was a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yunosuke Yoshinaga. The manga has been broken down into six one hour movies. As this movie introduces the setting and characters of Broken Blade, I found Rygart Arrow to be uninterersting, though I thought that the plot in setting up to warrarant officer after Borcuse’s death, was a bit to clichie for my tastes, as Rygart’s new title is, “Hero of Krisna”.

From an animation point of view, I would have that this movie is on par with an high budget movie. The music for this movie, I thought was a feast for the senses, as the music is excellent in all the scenes. If your a fan of fantasy in general, I would say that this movies series is a must watch, otherwise I would say that this series is skipable.

Movie Rating: B+
