Another Anime Update

Okay.....I've seen all the first episodes of the series I believed I may be interested in.  And I've also seen a bunch of the second episodes and here's my take.

Ladies VS Butlers is damn hysterical.  Yeah it has nude scenes and such, but it's done in a comedic way.  Basically making fun of the main characters VERY bad luck that puts him in these situations.  It's my favorite so far.

Baka to Test Shokanju has lived up to my expectations as a good series.  It has comedic mixed with action.  As expected for a series making fun of Pokemon.....I love it.  It's my second favorite for the new series'.

Dance in the Vampire Bund is alright.  No distinguishing marks though.  But it's alright nonetheless.

Omamori Himari is better than average.  Action, Comedy, Eye Candy.  It could be better, but it's alright how it is.

Seiken no Qwasar is pretty much horrible.

Hanamaru Kindergarten wasn't very good.  Just ends up being a little kid show.  Makes me wonder if it was created just to encourage lolicons in society.

And just a note......Hajimete no Aku ch48 has been cleaned for stage 1.  Once the trans comes out I can do the typesetting and stage 2 cleaning.

New Season of Anime in Japan is pretty damn good

Okay I have watched 5 of the new series so far.....and I'm very entertained from it.  Here's a list of them so far.

Series 1, Ladies VS Butlers:  Better than I expected.  While there is nudity and such (more than most), it has a pretty good comedy element.  Especially when the main character looks badass but is actually normal.  While the some of the "elegant" other characters are seem to be that instead.

Series 2, Baka to Test to Shokanju:  Funny as hell.  Kinda mixes school life comedy with making fun of Pokemon.  How can someone NOT like that.  Anything that makes fun of Pokemon is my friend.  It also makes me remember the old game Persona as it has some similarities.

Series 3, Omamori Himari:  Seems to hold true to the manga for the most part so far.  The "interaction" between the characters so far seems to really be comedic from "physical references" if you understand that.  I think most likely will be worth watching.

Series 4, Okamikakushi:  Looks to have a supernatural feel to it so far.  Might include some drama as well.  Can't make any real judgement call yet.  Feels like it may be worth watching though.

Series 5, Dance in the Vampire Bund:  The manga of that is VERY good.  The first episode mainly just seems more like an extended preview, so I can't make a good call yet on it.  But I AM getting good vibes from it.  It is supposed to have a good feel to it.

Someone suggested to me as well to watch both Seiken no Qwasar and  Hanamaru Kindergarten.  But I really think those two will be rather poor.  If you read the manga (and watch the previews), you'll probably understand why I think that.

Enough of that for now though.

New Season of Anime in Japan

Okay the current season of anime is about to become complete.  New year means new anime!!
While I prefer dubs I also like to have up to date series (subs a few days after release).
My favorite two series from this season have been Kampfer and Asura Cryin 2.  Unfortunately they have run their course and are just about finished (Kampfer only has the extra episode next week and Asura Cryin has two weeks left).

This upcoming season has two series I am looking forward to.  Omamori Himari (starts on 01/06/2010) and Dance in the Vampire Bund (starts on 01/07/2010).

If you know anything of these two series in the manga form, you may want to see them in their anime form.  Looks like a good way to start the new year.

Onihime VS update

Okay still waiting on that translation for Onihime VS that was supposed to be coming out.  I have seen no sign of one, so I can only assume (even though I hate assumptions) that one will not be done any time soon.

Too bad, I was very much looking forward to it.  And I know a few people who were looking forward to it as well.

And here's the cover for ch12 in case someone wants to see a reason for it to be popular.


Just who can resist that?
I'll keep hoping that someone decides to take it up.  I'll also keep cleaning any future RAWs for Onihime VS just in case someone picks it up.

Hajimete no Aku ch44

I've finished the beginning cleaning/typesetting for ch44 of Hajimete no Aku.  It should be posted up in a few days once it's checked and all that.

Once the trans for Onihime VS ch 12 is available I'll get that done quickly.  I'm really looking forward to that.  I hope it doesn't get canceled and comes along soon.  I really love that series.  And the upcoming one involves a beach and such (those with imagination and understanding of the series should understand this reference) so I REALLY want to get it finished.
