Darker Then Black: Gemini of the Meteor - Episode Four
This episode starts off with Misaki meeting the contractor group of Shizume, Hazuki and Youko, but they are undercover by the name of Ichinose Yayoi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Statistics Bureau, Research Section, 2nd Investigations Division, 3rd Assistant Chief Clerk. Misaki is brought up to speed that BK-201 has been working for the CIA. Misaki and the contractor group are given orders to capture BK-201 and Professor Mikhail Pavilchenko’s son, Shion.
I thought the little scene between Misaki and Youko was interesting in that it suggest that Li X Misaki might be an item in this season of Darker Then Black or not. I thought Li’s training of Suou to learn how to shoot and lie was sound, and I really liked how Suou stood up for herself against Li but pointing her sniper rifle at Li.
I thought it was interesting that this episode ended with Misaki meeting Madame Oreille at the end of this episode as it makes the next episode interesting. I thought the humor of Moa in Pecka’s body being chased by a cat was interesting karma.
Overall, I thought that this episode was a pretty solid episode and thinking that the absence of Yoko Kanno from doing the music in this series has been quite minimal, and the background music is still pretty good IMO (in my opinion).

Kiddy Girl-And - Episode Three
As Ascoeur mentions within the first minutes of this episode that Q-fuille will make a good wife due to getting people’s orders at the Touch & Go fixed up at Ascoeur’s expense. It’s not to long before this episode other E’s members of Troyes and Trixie how are similar to the duo of Q-fuille and Ascoeur. After Q-fuille and Ascoeur get new uniforms to do work in the information booth, this episode is centered around Q-fuille and Ascoeur trying to locate a Smith-san from the special transaction security department.
Despite this episode’s plot being rather thin yet again, I thought the highlight of this episode was the scenes involving Q-fuille and Troyes revealing to the viewer that they are big fan-girls of the anime Card Getter Sakura, a.k.a. CG Sakura (Card Capture Sakura parody).
Overall, I felt this episode was pretty fun due to seeing Q-fuille in a different light in this episode, while also getting some more insight into the lives that Q-fuille and Ascoeur live.

Got my Golden ticket!
I just got my ticket to the 1st Australian Madman National Cosplay Championships recently, which can be seen below. I’ll most likely take around $50 - $100 spending money with me, but am betting that the stores that will be attending the event won’t be selling expensive items, and just sell small anime items as it’s the event’s first time running.

More Manifest X Comission Piecie(s)
The post I did before about my artwork comission of Re-l with Robin Sena was just a test post, and have decided to post another two pieces I got comissioned as well as the Re-l with Robin piece, as it was recommended in the Manifest X Guidebook that was given out to attendees of the event. Again sorry for the bad image(s), it was done with my digital camera.

Kobato - Episode Four
This episode of Kobato is about Kobato Hanato meeting Kohaku (Kohaku means the word Heaven) and Ioryogi lets out to Kohaku that he can talk. I thought it was interesting that Kohaku and Iorogi (Ioryogi) knew one another previously by name only.
I thought that this episode provide some background to the main cast in this episode, while adding some depth to Kohaku’s and Shuichiro’s relationship in this episode. Watching Kobato over the past four episodes has been really appreciating every second of this series, as this series is like a breath of freash air, as having the team on Madhouse animating and producing this series certainly helps.
I’m trying to find something I dislike about this series so far but can’t as the music IMO (in my opinion) suits each scene well, and just everything well just seems to feel so perfect.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode Twenty Nine
This episode of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood deals with the Aftermath of Al,Gluttony, Greed, Envy Scar and other characters running into one another with the father of the homunculus. I thought it was interesting in this episode how Holhenhiem vanished from the plot of the series in this epiosde, but I hope it won’t be to long before he reappears as it would make the more interesting to get his relationship with the father/creator of the homunculus.
I thought te fan service of Edward in this episode was good, and that Ed tells Al that he meet Al’s real body, but the problem is how to get in back? As Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood has a poor opening theme IMO (in my opinion) and still disliking the art direction of he series (I prefer previous art direction and character designs of the FMA characters) I’m struggling to get into this series.
Overall, this episode was the calm after the storm in the previous episode of Full Metal Metal: Alchemist: Brotherood, but I thought that the scene involving Wirny talking to Ed and Al on the telephone in this episode was the highlight my myself in this episode for some odd reason. As I new to the material occuring in the episodes of FMA: Brotherhood, I’m trying to judge or not in this series is any good, because I don’t know how the series will end.

Vampire Knight: Guilty - Episode Eleven
This episode of Vampire Knight: Guilty is interesting as it focus on Ichiru and Zero. If one thought that Ichiru the sane brother of the pair well you are wrong, as this episode proves that Ichiru is really twisted. Before I go into more detail about Ichiru and Zero, this episode continues the previous episode of the Night class helping slaying some vampires.
After Ichiru shoots a helpless Zero with the Bloody Rose, I thought it was interesting that the episode went into detail about the life Ichiru and Zero had when their parent were around. After some Zero and Ichiru moments in this episode, the episode shows Ichiru attacking Rido, but falling. I thought that the scene where Zero eats up Ichiru was interesting, as the relationship between Zero and Ichiru is really twisted and interesting in my opinion.
As I’m an Ichiru fan, I’m pretty upset Ichiru dying in this episode of Vampire Knight: Guilty, but at least he died with some grace and purpose. Overall, I was very interested and strangely liked how this episode played out, and hope the remaining two episodes of Vampire Knight: Guilty can wrap the series on a good note or not.
