Bleach - Deicide 11 - 409 - Review/Summary

Computer trouble has left by blog inaccessible, but that'll be a problem no more.

Summary:

Ichigo is in this inner world but this time it's different. For one he's under water, and secondly Tensa Zangetsu, not Zangetsu, is there. Tensa is much younger than Zangetsu, looks about Ichigo's age. Because Ichigo entered his inner world in Bankai, he gets to meet Tensa. His father says again to watch out as Zangetsu may get violent and goes on to say his Engetsu was the same.

We go back to Ichigo whose saying he doesn't want to fight. He says he just wants to ask him something, but Tensa Zangetsu already knows what it is and says she can't teach him the final getsuga. Ichigo tells him that he needs to know so that he can protect Karakura but Tensa pretty much says he doesn't care about the same things Ichigo does, he says what Ichigo wants to protect isn't what he wants to protect.

Quick cut to Aizen whose walking through town. A drunken man wanders to him and falls due to his spiritual pressure. He notices Tatsuki, and the chapter ends.


Thoughts:

Good chapter. First chapter that didn't have much progressive fighting that I've enjoyed in a while. I find it interesting that both Ichigo and his father use the same attack even though Ichigo wields Zangetsu and his father Engetsu. I'd love to see the relationship between the swords in the future. This final getsuga better be something nice looking. Ichigo just doesn't have any flash ability. His attacks don't look very nice, he pretty much is ridiculously strong and beats things down, where is the style though?

Bleach - Deicide 10 - 408 - Review/Summary

Summary:

This chapter was pretty much an informative one. Isshin gets Ichigo to meditate so that he can commune with his sword. We don't actually get to that part in this chapter, that's on hold for the next. Instead we watch as two of Ichigo's friends make their way around town, which was been moved to somewhere in the mountains.

Isshin explains to Ichigo that time inside of the Dangai flows differently than outside. 2000 hours = 1 hour in the real world. With the Janitor gone this give Ichigo ample time to learn the final Getsuga Tensho. He goes on to explain that the Janitor picks up and spits people out at random times, sometimes at a century later, which destroys the body due to rapid ageing. Apparently when we saw Ichigo and his friends first arrive in soul society they were caught by the Janitor and spat out slightly ahead by a few days, thanks to Urahara's skills.

The current in the Dangai traps and kills people but Isshin can stop is with a simple technique. Isshin embeds 4 spike like things with ropes that are attached to his arms, into the current of the Dangai, with his reiatsu he can hold back the current for 3 months/2000 hours. Ichigo goes into his inner world and Isshin says "watch out, this time Zangetsu might get violent" and off to the next chapter we wait!

Thoughts:

Informative. I would like, when they do these informative chapters, if they just took a week and a half or two, to come out with a new chapter, so we could have the informative and the action.


Last week I didn't post about Deicide 9. Nothing much happened, so there really wasn't much to post about.

Naruto - A New Seal - 499 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Naruto's new seal relaxes him and he feels very calm.  He mother tells him she loves him and he feels "super happy". The chakras she used to hold the Kyubi wont last very long and Naruto acts quickly. He uses shadow clones, and goes in sage model. All of his shadow clones use rasengan. The new skill is called "Senpo Cho Odama Rasen darengan" Super size rapid fire rasengan. Naruto goes in with another rasengan and his clones begin pulling the kyubi's chakras. He absorbs it, but the Kyubi still has some power. He starts massing a giant black ball of condensed chakra. Naruto opens the seal on his stomach and a wooden cage captures the kyubi. Kushina says she can now go back to Minato, but before she does she's going to tell Naruto about his past. She then reveals she was the last jinchuuriki of the Kyubi.

Thoughts:

Pretty good chapter. I actually enjoyed this one. There was nothing annoying about it, except for the fact Naruto's mom is like Sakura and Naruto. I don't get why this series can't seem to have a female character that's more lady like but still just as strong. It's a little annoying.

Bleach - The Approaching Breath of Death, the King Who Rules Over Death! - 275 - review/summary

Summary:

Hitsugaya uses Hyouten Hyakkasou, it's a basic technique but it's very powerful. He can use it safely now though because his bankai isn't as powerful as it was, which is evident in the 1 and a 1/4 flower behind his back. Black clouds roll in and a huge hole opens  where mass amounts of snow falls, Harribel uses cascade but it's helpless, the water turns to ice and shatters. Snow falls and as it hits her and the ground flowers sprout, and she becomes encased in ice.

The second half of the show focuses on Soi Fon and Baraggan, who, after Ulquiorra, is my favorite espada. Soifon and pathetic Omaeda attack him to ill effect. Soi Fon's kicks are slowed as she approaches contact with Baraggan, as he has the ability to control time/age. They fight a bit, he touches her shoulder which leads to her arm breaking. They devise a plan and when it would seem it would work, Omaeda, pathetic as he is, abandons Soi Fon and runs to hide. Sure he was in danger of dieing, but it's for his captain and the better good!

Omaeda comes back when Soi Fon is obviously about to be killed. Baraggan says that they're prepared to die and decides to release!

Once he comes out of release he touches down on the building, instantly it begins to decay. He uses respira which is pretty much a black/purple fog of death. It's quick enough to keep up with Soi Fon and it braises her hand. The skin on her hand and arm begins to deteriorate. She screams for Omaeda to cut off her arm and he comes and does so. The arm falls on the ground and the bones deteriorate. 

Thoughts:

Great episode. I love baraggan, he's my second favorite character. I find him cooler than Ulquiorra when it comes to attacks, but I prefer Ulquiorra's personality. Baraggan is ridiculously arrogant and "superior". He speaks a lot of death and such but he's a bit hypocritical.

Naruto - 498 - Mom's red hair

Summary:

This is going to be pretty short, because well, not much happened. Naruto meets his mother! Who unfortunately is just like him. I don't like Naruto, so naturally I don't like his mother, who he is so similar to. She says dattebane instead of dattebayo at the end of her sentences. It just comes out when she's flustered. They talk about her past and how she fell in love with her father, and then Naruto stands. The next chapter is going to be when they fight the Kyuubi

Thoughts:

I'm not a huge fan of Naruto, but I've been reading it for so long I just can't 'not' read it. I didn't enjoy this chapter much. I didn't like his mother much. His mother is like Sakura as well, and I detest Sakura.

About the Drama I'll be reviewing in the future.

I wont just be doing Japanese dramas, despite this being a Japanese Entertainment blog. Korean dramas are big in Japan though. I'll be reviewing Japanese, Korean, Thai, Chinese, etc. in the future.

Zettai Kareshi (absolute boyfriend) and Hana Kimi I'll be reviewing later. Two of my personal faves.

Bleach - Episode 274 - Hitsugaya's Desperate Frozen-Heavens Countless Ornate Entombment! - Review and Summary

Summary:

The majority of the episode was focussed around Harribel and Hitsugaya. Harribel releases and fires some water at Hitsugaya, who turns it into ice. When Hitsugaya attacks back Harribel turns his ice dragon into water and attacks back surprising him, using her special technique, cascade.

Hitsugaya attacks again, Harribel turns his ice into water, then Hitsugaya appears behind her and turns the water back into ice and slashes at her. Encasing her in ice. There is a short break from Hitsugaya and Harribel's fight and we see Kyoraku and Spark who are pretty much fake fighting. Kyoraku gets Spark to use his cero, which is a nice deep blue.

Then we go back to the right between Hitsugaya and Harribel who uses her cero, which interestingly enoug she fires with her sword.

Hitsugaya shields himself using the wings of his bankai. When Harribel catches back up to him she tells him no more running. He informs her he knows they're both waiting for the area to fill with water but says after that he doesn't need to wait, just when it look like he's about to go all out, he looks down and notices all the injured and decides against it, instead he uses sennen hyoro and encases her in ice, but of course that doesn't work and she turns it all into ice and uses cascade again, except this one is much more powerful since there was a lot more ice to be made into water.

Hitsugaya uses ryusenka and turns the massive cascade into ice, which takes a lot out of him. He crashes down to the ground, his wings barely holding. Harribel comes saying he made a sacrifice but then cold air comes, his wings reform, black clouds roll in, and Hitsugaya says the heavens are under his control. Hyoten Hyakkaso!! TO BE CONTINUED...

Thoughts:

Great episode, I love Hitsugaya and it was nice seeing him fight with the majority of his abilities. Harribel is great fun to watch to, I like her character. I can't wait till next week, whilst I did read it, I really would love to see it.

Bleach - Chapter 406 - Deicide 8 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Isshin's huge getsuga tensho leaves Aizen bleeding but he has no real damage. He says to them it's time they understand his power. There seems to be a surge or reiatsu behind Ichigo, who looks back, and it's over for the trio. Instantly bested. Gin says some words that put Ichigo down even further, and Aizen shows up just when Gin was pulling out his sword. Gin says he was just trying to test him.

Aizen says the chrysalis stage is over, and for the first time in a few chapters we see his face again. Now he will be able to see the downfall of soul society with his eyes, he says. they open the gate and begin to leave. Aizen says he'll eat Ichigo.

Thoughts:

So Aizen couldn't see the whole time he was inside that chrysalis, interesting. I wish there was more of an explanation with Isshin's getsuga tensho, something on it, anything. Aizen seems so god like and Ichigo seems so pathetic now, it's kind of annoying. He's like a male orihime atm.

Bleach - 273 - Fury of the Shark! Halibel Releases - Review/Summary

Summary:

Very early in the show Yammy releases, showing that he's number 0, the strongest espada. He turns into this weird giant humntipede (human/centipede). He's extremely resilient in this form. He's the only espada that can increase his reiatsu by simply sleeping and eating, which is a little weird. We then go back to Karakura town where Soi Fon and Hitsugaya are having some trouble fighting. Harribel unzips her top to show she is number three. She begins attack Hitsugaya. She releases and attacks him cutting him in half, but really it's just an ice clone.

There is a small comedy moment when Soi Fon and Omaeda are against Baraggan. Omaeda goes on about how they need to release their true strength because when in the real world their reiatsu is cut; however, we find out that the restriction was never placed. The episode ends with Hitsugaya telling Harribel to not under estimate them.

Thoughts:

Well, I already read this. I wasn't really looking forward to reading this. I only really cared about Ichigo going full hollow. It's not bad though, just was pretty boring to me. Not much progression was made at all, I hope they don't start fillers soon.

Working!! - Episode 1 - Review/Summary

Summary:

It beings with the main character Poplar Taneshima greeting two customers. In the kitchen we find out that they need to hire and new cook. They send Taneshima  out to do the work. She asked all her friends at school but they all turn her down and she posted an ad but noone responded. While she was running through the street she bumps into the other main Character Souta Takenashi who Taneshima often calls Katanashi. He mistakes her for a grade schooler and ask where her parents are, she tells him and begins to tell him the family business, the resturant, needs a part time worker. He thinks it's a make beleive resturant. Taneshima pulls out her school ID which shows her as 17 and makes her Takenashi's sempai. Takenashi seems bothered at first that she's oldedr than him but so small. He thinks whether it's acceptable for him to like her being that she looks 12 but is really 17. He decides it is and begins work

At his first day of work he introduces himself to Taneshima and Shirafuji Kyouko (the assistant manager who's scary looking). Taneshima begins to train him but because she is so small she has to ask for help from others. When placing cups and trying to pick up dishes to put in the wash she's quite pathetic.

While in the back one day the other workers and the assistant manager tell him that if he has a love affair she'll have to schedule them so they don't work together.  Takanashi denies that it will ever happen because he simply love small things and he rather would think of himself as Taneshima's father. He then starts naming small things and equates Taneshima to a Daphinia, they decide he's really weird.

While Takanashi and Kyouko are in the kitchen he ask her how old she is. When she says 28 he says she's quite old. Kyouko gets pissed and makes sure he works 7 days a week. She teases him saying "you're quite young". Takanashi doesn't understand why she's doing this to him until he beings to speak to Taneshima who points it out. During that conversation we find out that anything above 12 is too old.  Later in the episode a couple boys are picking on Taneshima, Kyouko kicks one them in the chest. One of the cooks passes Takanashi her cell phone so he can bring it to her. She makes a call tellling whoever she is talking to, to take all their money.

The episode ends when Takanashi gets to work with Inami Mahiru, whose androphobic. She attacks Takanashi instantly. The whole time they never met because Kyouko tried to keep them separate but she apparently messed up.

Review:

Love it so far. It's funny funny and airy. It's been a while since I've watched an anime like this. I guess it's like chobits without the supernatural stuff. At least that's my first impression. It was a fun watch and I really look forward to watching more.

Character thoughts:

Taneshima: Funny, cute, oblivious, and naive.  It's just fun to watch her interactions with the other characters.

Takanashi is fun. He seems very kind hearted and seems to have a loli fetish. Since apparently anything above 12 is too old .

jun satou and Hiroomi Souma: Jun Satou seems the cool type and Hiroomi Souma seems fun and talkative. Didn't seem much of them in this episode so not much to say.

Kyouko: Easily one of my favorite characters right now.
