Asura Cryin’ Season 2 Episode 8

You know the feeling you get when the next episode just seems to take so long to come out? After watching an episode where our dear Tomo was tortured in the most horrible manner, we then have to wait and see what happens to him after he gets sucked up in the black whole along with Nia and Kanade. At first I had no clue where they could end up being dropped. Actually, I wasn’t even sure if they were going to be dropped. But after I had already calmed down, and I stopped myself from wanting to through my laptop out the window from watching episode 7, I finally realized that there is only one place they could go…

There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

Did you know?

Asura Cryin’ Season 2 Episode 7: Part 2

In case any of you were wondering why I decided to split this episode’s review in two, well I think all you have to do is watch the frickin episode. I wouldn’t be able to handle only dedicating a mere 5-10 pictured post to this 5-star rated episode. The animation quality, motion flow, real blood and not just crystallization, and I can’t forget to mention the merciless and ruthless people Tomo is up against.

Oh, by the way, I decided to just install VLC again and hope that it would fix my color problem. And it did. I do still wonder why it happened and I would like to prevent it, so your suggestions or explanations will still be cool. THX

Asura Cryin’ Season 2 Episode 7: Part 1

When I download my episodes I watch them with VLC media player. And not too recently ago, I discovered that I could take snapshots of my videos. So after I’ve been doing for a while now, finally forming a steady pace, it seems like the snapshot thing is acting weird. For some reason when I take a snap and I look at the photo in my pictures folder it comes out in very strange color. I don’t know what you might call it, but I know it’s not the Negative effect… It’s more like false color or something to that sort. Whatever was red becomes blue and vice-versa.

PLEASE, IF ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY. Your help will be extremely appreciated!

Well, even though it looks weird, I’ll just have to cope with it for now. I must post this episode before I get any later… XD

Asura Cryin’ Season 2 Ep 5

I’ve noticed that the studio likes taking a break from those constant action-filled episodes every now and then. And that’s exactly what we have here. So, instead of Super-Tomo and his trusty sidekick Misao, we get to witness the lovely (and hilarious) bonding time between Tomo and Kanade. And if any of you think that Japanese girls are all shy and too scared to hit-on or flirt with guys, well then you’re probably right. But I do know that in this episode we see very clearly that shy girls like Kanade will still get what they want even if they don’t say a single word. Scary isn’t it? When you start to realize how powerful women REALLY are. *shiver*



"Hey Careful! I don't want to scuff my shoes!"

Asura Cryin’ Season 2 Ep3

So as I’ve said before, this anime is like the “superman” of all mecha related anime. They do a great job with the CGI, (even though it may look a little out of place, XD) but we can never forget that the first season only gave us a mere ‘intro’ to what is now Tomoharu’s quest. Which is to change the fate of the Handlers and of the Burial Dolls. If we remember well in the beginning of this season, Tomoharu’s first intentions was to find his brother, which for some reason is almost impossible to find! The last episode left us off with Tokiya the Science President, and also the cotton-stuffed Koala, reunited with his beloved Tooru. And in return, Tokiya was going to help Tomoharu find his brother. Ok, shall we…

First Impressions: Asura Cryin’ Season2 Ep1

Mainly because of my love for the good-old fashion romance/comedy anime, I decided to go ahead and take a very cautious look at the oh-so-hated upon Asura Cryin’ Season 2 episode. I will have to admit that even though Scamp gave a rather good review on it, I still am a fan of the fist season of Asura Cryin. Which is why I was surprised to not see to many people defending this anime. Truthfully, I have to hand it to Seven Arcs and praise them for the mecha-style character designs they did. I really enjoyed the story line…BUT, I definitely did not like the ending. *sob, *sniffle sniffle, it made me cry! *runs while wailing all the way to the bathroom to blow nose.  XD

Fall 2009 Anime Season Preview

Maybe it’s because the first time I visited an anime blog was to read a Spring 2008 season preview, but these season preview posts always feel a bit special. Nothing else takes as much time to make or attracts as much hits. Season Previews are arguably the most important posts blogs produce for the rest of the anime community (well I’d argue that it is). So sit back and enjoy the latest Fall Anime Season Preview! (why Fall? Real men say Autumn)

You can probably see where I’m going with this picture. Not only does this season see the return of one dog-eared demon, but we also see the birth of a brand new hit. It’s a good time to be a shounen fanboy. Shame I’m not one…

Most of the synopsis are either taken fron ANN or MAL (even though MAL takes most of it’s synopsis’ from ANN but whatever). Other info is generally taken from Chartfag’s amazing chart, Moetron or Can you Moe. You can also go to Ganbatte’s preview as it’s the only other one I’ve seen that’s actually had effort put into it.

A quick note before I begin. Please for gods sake, do NOT copy and paste this entire preview onto a forum or your own blog. If you do I’m going after you with a machete

First Impressions: K-ON!, Requiem for the Phantom, Asura Cryin’, Natsu no Arashii

This will be my fourth season doing first impression posts and for some strange reason they are my favorite type of post. I can’t quite place my finger as to why either. It’s not easier, it doesn’t get far more comments or hits and it takes quite a while to formulate my thoughts on 20 minutes into 20 sentences. Though I do have to say I’ve found a preview hero in Tenka Seiha who manages to get his thoughts across about the anime without spoilers and remaining perfectly funny, although I do completely disagree with his taste most of the time.

My Rating System Explained!

A = If you watch anything this season, watch this

B = Very good, sometimes surprisingly so.

C = If you have the time, you should check this out

D = Not my kind of thing, I won’t be watching this

E = Bad. Very bad, ignore this show

F = Frustratingly awful
