Kotoko, the Ghost Whisperer?

Itazura na Kiss – Episode 25 “Hello Again” Review [6/10]

I watched up to 19 episodes of Itazura na Kiss, Special A, Code Geass, and Macross Frontier, before I stopped watching anime for around 2 months. By the time I found time to continue watching them, Itazura na Kiss was least on my list. But, oh well, I might as well complete the series and get it over with.

Actually, this episode entertained me enough, but I can’t really say the same for the other episodes (episodes 20-24).

A safe Frontier finale

Macross Frontier – Episode 25 “Your Sound” Review [7/10]

Because I took a hiatus from watching anime (not by choice), I’m glad to have finally managed to finish this series with fair appreciation. (It took me a while to adjust from just experiencing the roller-coaster ride of episodes 20-25 of Code Geass.)

The ending was to my satisfaction (as I was not expecting much), but perhaps it could have been better.

Code Geass ending – thumbs up!

Code Geass 2 – Episode 25 “Re;” Review [10/10]

Finally, I found time to finish this series, and although I was a little bit dizzy with all those over-the-top twists, I was very happy with the conclusion.

First-time jealousy

Itazura na Kiss – Ep 19 “Crazy For You” Review [6/10]

I can imagine some people would be satisfied with this episode, but I was not. I was bored. The issue was resolved too fast and it was too straightfoward.. I guess Irie is a robot after all :P

It’s funny that Irie only got to realize his jealousy at this point and I can imagine someone like him would have a hard time dealing with it. Unfamiliar feelings can be very confusing and irritating at the same time. At least Kotoko had a choice with what to do about her situation. Meanwhile, Irie had no idea what he was dealing with. Tsk tsk.

I have no comment about Kinnosuke’s spontaneous proposal and Chris’s concern over her scar.

I have no comment about Keita either.

Zero goes solo?

Code Geass 2 – Ep 19 “Betrayal” Review [10/10]

Another great episode. Very impressed with Rolo here – I did not expect that at all. It actually touched me, I couldn’t believe it.

And yet again, we have more questions to be answered.

A hug for Kotoko

Itazura na Kiss – Ep 18 “Ill-Tempered Triangle” Review [8/10]

Geez. I’m so tired of watching that girl mess up all the time. And being treated that way too, by her own husband. But…

Itazura na Kiss new phase

Itazura na Kiss – Ep 17 “Enviable New Face!?” Review [8/10]

Kotoko’s finally starting Nursing and we’ve got new interesting(?) characters. The ending was a good one. And I thought this part of the series would just be all about Kotoko’s adventures (well, maybe “adventures” is not the right term..) while being married to Irie Naoki a.k.a Mr. Ice (I didn’t know anything because I didn’t read the manga, not so much into shoujo). Now I see where this is going. Ooh… Mr. Ice is about to melt…

Nuked by Geass

Rental Magica – Ep 4 Review [8/10]

• Episode No: 4
• Episode Title: You’re Not Alone
• Episode Rating: 8 out of 10

This episode started off as something that didn’t really catch my interest because for one thing, it seemed to focus on a member of the group, Kuroha Manami, who has the least personality. However, I was refreshingly surprised when the character’s background was shown. This episode may have been boring at first, and predictable at the end, but the slight confusion and surprise it caused made my interest in this somewhat mediocre series heighten a bit.

Shana II – Ep 4 Review [7/10]

• Episode No: 4
• Episode Title: Melancholy Girls
• Episode Rating: 7 out of 10

Grr. Annoying dramatic episode with Shana jealous of Yuji’s attention to new girl Konoe Fumina. As for Yuji… well, dense as ever. Konoe’s childish dependence towards Yuji is cute, I admit, with her clinging on to Yuji’s shirt all the time. But the whole situation is just… grr. Do we really need this episode? Okay, don’t answer that. They’re in high school, so let’s let them have their moments. (Yes, I’m talking to myself.)

Oh, and there’s a pretty refreshing pool play scene here among their classmates, though I’m not so sure if it has any relevance.

Gundam 00 – Ep 4 Review [8/10]

• Episode No: 4
• Episode Title: Foreign Negotiations
• Episode Rating: 8 out of 10

It was interesting watching certain situations unfold regarding Celestial Being and the three powers Union, HRL, and AEU, though not much of AEU is seen here. Mecha battles occurred at the end, and were simply one-sided, except for a short fight between Gundam Exia and a Custom Flag. Basically I’m just following the story, still interested yet trying not to be confused. I think Celestial Being handled the situation well and I would have done the same thing. I can’t say though, that their actions are in parallel with their goals to irradicate war completely, but okay.
