Kuroshitsuji episode 05

This episode was sooo much better than the 3 previous ones, finally something happens!

Episode opens on Agni and Soma distributing the famous curry bread to people.
Photobucket

Then Sebastian appears! Talks a little with Soma and tells him he should behave around Ciel since he lost his memories.
Photobucket
SHOCK desu ~

Finally we get a very, very little flash back on what happened between the two seasons, basically Sebastian telling everyone about Ciel loosing his memories
Photobucket

Ciel and Sebastian finally head to the Trancy mansion, in which, I'll say it once again, I'll never ever set a foot in, it's forbidden to kill spiders.
Photobucket
Feels familiar much?

Now please follow Claude to meet with everyone and yes when he says everyone he means everyone.
Photobucket

Unfortunately you can't meet the master of the house yet, he's busy dressing up for the party.
I missed him so much though you don't imagine how <3
Photobucket

I said busy dressing up but he also has another very important thing to do, which is known as : bullying Hannah. I wonder if she'll stay alive until the end of the season and I wonder even more what the hell she's doing there
Photobucket

Now undress please. I want your outfit.
Photobucket

Which makes me think this anime is turning into an ecchi
Photobucket

In any case the party started, everyone was having fun, until, until the Phantomhive servants wanted to show to the Trancys they were so much better than them.
Photobucket

Thankfully the Trancy servants are actually skilled in serving (even if they're strange, Ciel said so)
Photobucket

Using the chaos caused by the servants "Hannah" spills wine on Ciel.
Photobucket
This moment screamed only one thing, it's not really something I'm used to think or go crazy about but god, for the lack of a better word, this was moe

In any case "Hannah" brought him in her room in order to clean up, which she failed to do, or at least not his clothes.
Photobucket

Then Ciel understood it was indeed not Hannah and started to chase Alois in the mansion, managed to know Sebastian memories of when he was there.
Then they all get out, ready for the fight, Alois claiming that his Claude was better than Sebastian and threatening to kill everyone in the mansion, to which Ciel answers he should do as he likes.
Thankfully he has a nice Sebastian ready to obey every order of his master.
Photobucket

Aaand cliffhanger ensues

Kizumonogatari to be animated!

First, let me explain what is Kizumonogatari, it's a light novel but that won't help you much.
The thing really interesting in this is that this light novel is a prequel to the recently finished Bakemonogatari.

Some people stalkers may remember how I said I totally wanted a prequel and that Shinobu was damn sexy before and that I really really could see a prequel, now it's done!
Or o it will be done since it has no release date yet, but at least we all know it will exist, which makes me die of happiness. (or nearly)

Deadman Wonerland to be animated.

Ok apparently this is old news considering the ANN article is one year old but I thought I wasn't the only one who didn't see it.

So as usual, they're slow, very slow, but I'm glad the project finally went through. It wasn't a given, the Alive : Last Evolution project is frozen for God knows how long and I love this manga to bits.

In any case Deadman Wonderland the animation is set to start on October, which just increased the amount of animes I'm sure I'll watch next season, I'm doomed to have no life anymore.

Sengoku Basara episode 3

Now let's move on to Sengoku Basara episode 3, last week Masamune was loosing and the Maeda clan minus Keiji (whose crest looks like Akechi's waaay too much for me ^^) was moving toward Echigo to challenge Kenshin.

Photobucket

As expected Keiji totally doesn't agree, can you believe it, his beloved Matsu-nee chan is siding with Hideyoshi?! (well the couple sided with Nobunaga before so no surprise ^^)
And on top of that they ignore Keiji when it tries to stop them, shock desu~
Photobucket

Too bad for you but they encounter Kenshin, who told them they'd better go back to their homeland because he's preparing to invade (and I always feel like saying "she" when talking about Kenshin, wonder why ^^)
Obviously they refuse and Matsu wants to take on Kenshin alone while Toshi goes back home.
Photobucket

Toshi refuses and they go back home together, too bad Kenshin is a good mastermind too, they're surrounded.
Photobucket

Then Keiji comes back since he totally doesn't like being ignored and challenges Toshi becaue siding with Hideyoshi is definitely something he doesn't understand.
Photobucket

And he deafeats him, Matsu is sad, Kenshin is sad, Keiji is sad, you thought Toshi was dead? No he's not.
Photobucket

During that time in Oushuu, Masamune barely managed to keep his land safe from Toyotomi's army, but he lost a lot of men and even if he can make them come back from the dead just by saying Wake up, wake up guys (in Engrish please) it still makes him really, really sad.
Photobucket

Just when he managed to revive his precious men, an unexpected guest arrive : Toyotomi Hideyoshi, challenging Masamune.
Photobucket

During this time Yukimura was running to Satsuma under the orders of his Oyakata-sama while suddenly he heard something, a voice, a voice he know.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Yes, the annoying princess Oichi is back, I love her way of fighting and I love her character design but I'd like to behead her myself.

Occult Gakuen episode 04

Let me start by telling you at which point we stopped last week, Maya was attacked by a mysterious monster and Abe-sensei was quietly returning hom from his date.

However Maya didn't return to school, nor did Kozue, so dango haired girl calls Abe-sensei and give him the mission to find them all, ths trying to convey her love for him.
Photobucket

So Abe-sense complies even if he doesn't want to, and find oooh so by chance his "cute" little waitress, she asks him if he wants to come with her to look for them in the car, reluctantly he comes.
Photobucket

And it was indeed a bad idea.
Photobucket

Except that after all she manages to see something on the side of the road while driving at an insane speed (I find that to be quite suspicious, it's like she knew there was something there ^^)
Photobucket

Abe and her walk through, but they got separated, such a shame and Abe comes accross Maya and her silly faces (did I mentionned she tried to kill him?)
Photobucket

While during this time some students and workers of the school were worried and looked for their disappeared principal.
Photobucket
Did I mentionned these two are voiced by Koyasu Takehito (the right guy) and Hiroki Takahashi (the Graham like guy)? It's even funnier

Maya and Abe finally discover the center of the world!
Photobucket

And Abe told her the truth about his fate as a time traveller, basically he was homeless, jobless and their last hope was just killed.
Photobucket

The truth about the Tengu is revealed! It wasn't a Tengu but a Mothman (told you it wouldn't be a Tengu ^^)
Photobucket

And JK defeats him with his magic piano, because music is his life.
Photobucket

During all this time Abe was running away, they still manage to save everyone (including the waitress who comes back unharmed after the fight, suspicious I tell you)

Steins;Gate anime!

Today, wandering on ANN I discovered an interesting anime news, it's called Steins;Gate
The story takes place in Akihabara, it's adapted from a video game and it's described as a scientific adventure game.
A group of young people manage to customize a microwave to send text messages in the past, but obviously an evil organization which is researching on this subject learn about their experimentations and tries to get them.

Ok I admit it, the thing which really interested me is that the character design is from huke, yes yes you know him, the mastermind behing Black Rock Shooter, it's him.

Black Rock Shooter

Photobucket
After more than one year of desperate waiting, or at least on my part. I never had much interest on Vocaloids and the likes but the day I saw the trailer I was already in love, and it's finally there.

Everything started someday, in an island far, far away.
Photobucket

There was a girl, her name was Black Rock Shooter.
Photobucket

There was another girl, she was a normal girl, running in order not to be late for her first day of school, her name was Mato Kuroi (who also happened to be voiced by one of my favorite seiyuu, Kana Hanazawa, who did a wonderful job)
Photobucket
Photobucket

Mato met another one on her way to school, she was a normal girl, her name was Takanashi Yomi (who, strangely, happened to be voiced by another one of my favorite girl seiyuu, Sawashiro Miyuki, who also did a wonderful job)
Photobucket

During that time, in the far far away island, BRS was doing some sight seeing
Photobucket

In the real world, Mato finally gathered enough courage to talk to Yomi, thus scaring her a little.
Photobucket

During that time in the far far away island, BRS was still doing some sight seeing
Photobucket

While in the real world Mato and Yomi became best friends
Photobucket

During that time in the far far away island, BRS stopped doing some sight seeing, she started to fight.
Photobucket

In that island there was another girl, her name was Dead Master and she liked to pick fights with anyone coming around to sight see.
Photobucket

While in the real world, Mato and Yomi were still best friends, they exchanged gifts, laughed together and so on.
Photobucket

During that time in the far far away island, someone else is sight seeing.
Photobucket

But Mato and Yomi were not doing the same club activities, thus they had different friends and Yomi started being jealous when Mato started to become closer with the manager of the basketball team, Yuu.
Photobucket

And this is Yuu.
Photobucket

Yomi gets farther and farther away from Mato, and Mato feels lonely.
Photobucket

One day she simply doesn't came to school and Mato can't help but worry about her best friend.
Her mother calls, saying the police is at her place wanting to talk with her, Yomi has disappeared.
Photobucket

During that time in the far far away island, Dead Master finally wins against Black Rock Shooter.
Photobucket

One day Mato receives an empty text message from Yomi, she runs and runs to the place they liked to go together, she found the strap she gave her and something strange happens.
Photobucket

In the far far away island, Black Rock Shooter managed to free herself, scarring Dead Master to death but saving her when she was just about to fall.
Photobucket

However Dead Master doesn't really like the gesture and fall anyway dissolving herself in the void
Photobucket

At her place lies the disappeared Yomi, BRS managed to save her from her "dark side" (or at least that's how I understood it ^^)
Photobucket

BRS appeared to Mato, in order to save Yomi, and they merge together in a single being, claiming she was Black Rock Shooter.
Photobucket
I had to listen to this part a dozen times, the way Kana Hanazawa says "Black Rock Shooter" is just too cute.

The anime closes on Yuu, starting to feel jealous at the returned closeness between Mato and Yomi, then we understand the mysterious other being sight seeing in the other world is somehow connected to her.
Somehow, it makes me hope for a sequel.

All in all this anime was great, pretty, nice music, interesting, just wonderful and totally worth the wait. The actual song wasn't used a single time in the anime though ^^
