S: Must Watch
Episodes I believe you must watch or are missing out on.
1. To Your Eternity Season 3. Ep.11
SUMMARY
Oh boy Fushi is on go mode! I did not expect Fushi to use his abilties like that, I forget that the guys is second only to boy black at this point. I am surprised that Fushi didn't finish it, Mizuha's pleas were enough and even swayed me at the moment though I still consider the dangers of the Nokkers to be too great.
After this we see Bon and Fushi discussing the matter some more before Fushi almost goes to hunt another Nokker. Bon stops him here as there is a crowd and we have the return of Fen and Nixon! The two spirits discovered something crazier than I ever could have expected; a secret underground, steel clad, room where Mizuha is leading a religious order of the Nokkers.
While the team thinks of a way to save Mizuah from the Nokker, Izumi beleives they shouldn't. I disagree in saying that Mizuha has agreed to live with the Nokkers, it's more so that she wishes to live with the mother she dreamed of.
Speakling of Izumi, we get a flashback of her! She's got an even scarier mean mug than dear from Gachiakuta. Growing up, Izumi was tossed into the middle of the cult of Hayase and the guardians. Although she hated it, she did become the next leader of the guardians. Still, she hated the position and made her escape with the hopes of never returning to the guardians. I love the twist of her husband being part of the cult, they're even peskier than the Nokkers.
Learning more about Mizuha's upbringing is heartbreaking. Izumi wanted nothing more than to escape from the guardians, but this also meant she only raised Mizhua for this purpose and nothing more. Her failures as a parent aside, I'm more disappointed that she has given up on saving Mizuha all together. Of course, I understand why. She must consider what Mizuha wants, and that fact that is no place for her in the family anymore.
Gosh, that really hurts when you think about it.
9/10, farewell, Izumi.
2. Gachiakuta. Ep.23
SUMMARY
Nothing but relief and questions for the team now that they are out of the giant trash beast and on the way back home. Releif and scammers can't kill a vibe however, I absolutely love the team enjoying some music as they head back to base for the day.
Bringing flowers to someone recovering must be a custom as old as time. Rudo feels bad for pushing a Sphereite custom onto them, but we make way to Zanka with a some artificial flowers where we learn that Zanka is taking the defeat much better than we would expect.
Not only that, we learn that a certain mischievous artist gave Zanka the ability to use gear fourth! The guy is a good spirit about it, though I'm not sure if he is still under the effects of Jabber goofy gas at this time. Guess not, he doesn't make excuses and understands that he must become stronger. I won't allow any Zanka slander with that kind of attitude from the guy.
We end the episode with Zodyl giving Bundus a promotion and revealing the rest of his plan. Of course, he's still on track to cross the border and hit the sphere, but he'll need to collect more of the watchmen series before doing so. We get a short look at some cool characters for the future, but this anime is soon ending so it will be for another time.
I really hope we get more seasons of this fantastic anime.
9/10, I love the style of clothing in this anime, we need more anime to do outfit changes!!!!!!!
3. Ranma 1/2 Season 2. Ep.11
SUMMARY
I'm really enjoying the intro scenes this season has, they're cute.
On today's episode, Akane gets abducted, or so the culprit thinks. The culprit, who I believe we have seen before, challenges Ranma to retrieve the hostage. Akane informs him of this, but I have to disagree with Ranma here; Akane looks great in her dress, and Kasumi looks great as usual.
The location of the challenge is a circus where it is revealed to be... Mousse! We head inside for the circus where we get some awesome shows with one including an incredible tiger. But! That's not the coolest animal of the show, Mousse has become the duck Mumu. The knife throwing Mumu begins the show, which is interrupted by Shampoo once they're outside.
The battle heats up, Ranma and Mousse cause havoc throughout the entire festival. Despite the absolute threat that Ranma is, what almost kills Mousse is Akkane. I'm surprised the guy took all those blows as he did, they would shattered the heads of most. She should have kept going however, leaving mousse alive leads to her being captured and put under the threat of being turned into a duck herself. I don't know, I think she'd make for a cute duck.
Ranma manages to save Akane just in time, but who will save Mousse from the heart break of the girl you love saying she hates you. I think there is no greater pain, and I can see no way to heal. Well, that were if he were normal, a kick to the head only seems to empower the guy.
The battle continues with Shampoo joining and trying to turn Akane into a duck using the spring water collected by Mousse. Ranma steps in and stops the hose from spraying the crowd, but the one he wished to protect most was the one he couldn't save.
9/10, I'm telling you, she will make for a cute duck
A: Very Good
Good episodes, anime I would recommend to someone looking for something to watch.
4. Alma-chan Wants to Be a Family!. Ep.11
SUMMARY
Wait! This is the final episode?! It's the worst time of the season again; however, be not sad that it is over, be happy that we got to watch this cute family.
To start todays episode we get a visit from other scientist now understanding the incredible work our lovely parents have done with Alma. And so off to America we go! We get a cute montage of Alma showing off her capabilities and impressing everyone. Yes, she is awesome!
As Alma attends school remotely, she gives us a quick look into the past of Enji and Suzume and how they end up working together. As happy as I am for Enji and Suzume, their new life in the Americas means they get to spend no time with Alma and this breaks my heart. And it is not okay! Missing her first bootday is unacaeptble and I am disappointed in Suzume and Enji!
I get that they want their research to be a success, but I don't understand the rush. I'm glad Suzume calls him out, she's not just a robot, she is their daughter and him wondering if it is possible for her to feel lonely infuriated me. After they both realize their mistakes, Enji and Suzume get help in saerching for Alma who has run away.
Turns out, Alma went back home. Enji and Suzume, those two idiots, made their way back home on a super fast robot to find their beloved daughter. Alma saying she wants to live with them in their original home made me cry, how could they ignore her? Well, they were busy. But this is a lesson and plea to all parents around the world, there's nothing more imporant then giving your kids the time they need.
Ah, Enji, we were so close there. At least we get all of Alma's friends coming to visit her, man do I wish nothing but happiness for her and the family from here on.
9/10, this was so so so so so sweet, I loved it
5. Dusk Beyond the End of the World. Ep.12
SUMMARY
Final episode for this anime that has quite some things and ideas that I like, though I am very worried for how it will end. Here we go.
We return back Amoru finding the other two and trying to take Akira's heart! Yugure steps in but faces off against Amoru and Yoiyami who's consciousness switch during the battle. While this is happening, best girl Hakubo is fighting Yokurata and chars him to finish the fight. A quick end but one that I was hoping for as I didn't want him taking to much of the episodes time.
Back to Yugure vs Yoiyama! You guys are going to hate me for this, but I believe this all could have been avoided if we had better communication. All is forgiven as we get some Yuri action with Amoru telling Yugure that she loves her as well. Yugure considers her a rival however, and now I think her selfishness is what causes a lot of these issues. If she were always going to refuse to elshea, then she should have never allowed the idea to fester as they traveled together.
Yugure wins the battle and confesses that Towasa didn't take her, she asked to go with her. And, now I am starting to dislike her. She could have told them this without issue. The more I try to think of a reason for her not to tell her this, of anything she does afterwards, the less reason I can see as to why she would keep it a secret. Did Amoru just die? Yeaaaaaa...
Yugure saves Akira by giving him her core's energy or something, I'm not sure but it ends with Akira back up and Yugure unconscious. Davout/Tagitsu shows up here and takes Akira to the lab where it all started to save Yugure. She'll survive but what matters here is that we see old man Akira in one of the tubes just having a grand old time laying down. He's sacrificing himself to save Yugure, the time to ask questions is now.
So, what does newkira ask? Well, before any questions are asked, OldKira reveals that he created elshea and that it was the answer. He is correct, if they just elshead Amoru I think none of this happens. Moving forward, oldKira continues to be the only voice of reason, telling them to get with the times and giving us the best news of the season, Amoru will be ok. His time has come however, Yugure leaves him with the greatest words he could ever hear, he deserved it.
Amoru and Yugure return to find Hakubo and Oboro. We get a short scene between them before a time skip to see those we have seen throughout the journey. The coolest scene was getting to see the other outside series, a little sad we didn't get them in the anime but we have only have 12 episode.
Now then, what happened to the main crew? Well, Amoru is bedridden as Yugure and Akira visit Towasa's grave. That's right, she's already dead. So the whole Yoiyami and Amoru issues could have been resolved instantly if Yugure just communicated. It's nice that her and Akira are getting married and have a nice kiss scene, but it's difficult to say I'm ok with all the issues she has caused.
Amoru wakes up at the end of the episode, and we have a tearful reunion to drive us into the fin.
Look, I enjoyed a lot about this anime. There was some great animation, cool ideas, heartbreaking backstory, great reveals, and Amoru. But, I still can't get over the fact that a lot of the issues at the end could have been avoided had Yugure communicated with anyone. She could have told Amoru that she doesn't want to share Akira at the start, and Yoiymai that she asked to be taken by Towasa and that Towasa has passed. There was no reason to keep this a secret and almost made me dislike her all together. She's not all bad, but why bro.
I really wish we would have gotten a little more at the end. Some time with Amoru after she wakes, or the special wedding would have been great. But, as of now, the ending left me wanting for more.
8/10 episode, 7/10 overall. Hakubo best girl, get with the times Akira, and that's all for today tri state area
6. Digimon Beatbreak. Ep.11
SUMMARY
It's payday baby. The best thing to do on payday is figure how to spend it, Tomoro wants a present for Asuka and heads out with the team to visit Asuka. On the trip we learn that Tomoro's parents were arrested and Asuka took care of him ever since, hopefully we expand some more on this in the future but for now we're in the hospital.
Asuka is still frozen after being drained of his e-pulse long ago. It's nice to see Tomoro visiting Asuka, though I'm also glad Geckomon lightened the mood, but he may have overstepped soon after. The poor guy just wants to be involved but everyhting goes bad and we have an arguement.
Ehm, I thought we already hit this arc some time ago. Hitting it again is fine, though I beleive we can have growth in their realtionship without the need for an argument.
Moving forward, Geckomon bumps into Raremon who is the size of a ship. The team is called to bring this guy in and we finally get a montage of digivolutions. Where's Geckomon digivolution? We'll have to wait for that as Tomoro is still allowing his anger to take over when interreacting with the little guy.
The battle against Raremon goes south as his stinky attack can one shot everyone. As everyone else retreats, Tomoro and Geckomon reunite and Tomoro says something unforgivable. I really don't like what he said here; however, this leads to the dark e-pulse that empowers Geckomon as we have seen before. I did forget about this happening before, it could lead to a great arc like that of Megidramon for those that know their old school digimon.
We won't know here however, we get the arrival of another digi user with an attack powerful enough to take out Raremon in one shot. Intro, Flaremon and Kaito! Digmon world dawn fans rejoice! But only for so long as Geckomon attacks Flaremon and we're caught in the crossfire of a big attack. Kyo protects Tomoro, but Geckomon has been turned back into baby form!
Hmmm, maybe I was wrong. We've hit a similar note already in this anime, but there is still more to explore here with the dark e-pulse and Geckomon's eventual evolution.
8.3/10, Kekomon!
7. Spy X Family Season 3. Ep.0
SUMMARY
Poor Yor, I too overthink all interactions.
As Anya is gone for the day with Becky, Yor and Loid get the time alone to handle their gripes. Since Yor is having difficulty coming up with anything, she just says it's everything! Yuri arrives just in time to hear this which puts Loid under the most pressure I think I've seen him in. Saving the marriage is vital for the mission after all, but Loid doesn't have much to go on here.
Loid gets called in for a mission and heads out but not without Yor and Yuri tailing him. This also leads to Yuri getting an emergency summon, leaving Yor to follow on her own. Fortunately, Yor has sobered up at last and this allows Loid to focus on his mission: finding a mole!
Loid's target has some serious skill himself as we see him dispose of chasers with ease and style. He'll be trouble, but what we look forward is the clash between Wise and the state security.
As the mission continues, we see Wheeler pivoting after he recognizes members of Wise around the area. The team becomes worried but the real problem arises as state security has planted a trap. Not only have they discovered the mole within, but Loid is caught at the center of this trap.
8/10, will we get Loid vs Yuri?
8. Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2. Ep.11
SUMMARY
We arrive at the new town with great news for Fel, there's a klraken in the area. Before facing off against the thing, Mukoda settles into a new mansion and gets to cooking.
Off to fight the kraken we go, best boy Sui becomes the perfect boat to take us out into sea where Fel can fight the thing. Will he do so with a lightning strike as he did before? It won't be so simple as a massive sea serpent appears in a brawl with the kraken. Dora and Fel take a monster each, those guys are freaks as they take out the targets in a single shot. Time for Takoyaki!
Before we can enjoy a meal, a new monster makes an appearance and is even more massive than the first two. They aim for the free meal in the area, but didn't notice the battle ship that is Sui before getting blasted by a water canon that leaves a hole in its chest.
Time to eat, the whole town joins in on preparing the giant creatures and enjoying a feast. Although hesitant at first, the people of town are thrown into bliss by the powers of secret sauce and seasonings, good on Mukoda for bestowing this blessing on everyone.
8/10, love the sea
B: Good/Solid
C: It's ok/ Fine
These are shows I happen to pick up but struggle to finish. Still watchable, but not without a good break in between episodes.
9. Watari-Kun's ****** Is about to Collapse.. Ep.24
SUMMARY
Hey, welcome back to more than a married couple but not quite house mates or whatever this show is called.
Satsuki and Naoto seem to be doing well living together, I don't think I've seen the guy smile like that this entire series. I like that he is trying to keep communication good here, and Satsuki is more than willing to be open. 1000 points to the animation team for the cute spin she did.
Yea, we can't expect a young couple living together to hold back forever, but safety comes first! That's my advice to you all for this season. Now, a pregnancy scare can be quite the journey, but it would be impossible for symptoms to show up so fast, I think. I hope.
I just realized we haven't gotten the sick episode yet in this anime. That's what I call subverting expectations. As overused as it is, I think it is well used here to show just how much Naoto cares for Satsuki, and -
HOLD ON!
TOKUI IS A GYARU LOVER. ALL SINS ARE FORGIVEN MY GUY! I KNEW I LIKED HIM, I KNEW IT.
Ehm, back to the episode. Satsuki isn't pregnant, and we get a day at the beach where Tokui is looking for the one that got away. It was a bittersweet end to a short relationship, but even that can leave a lasting impression as we see with Tokui. Very glad we got to see her in the end, I mean, glad he got to see her.
I find Tiokui's relationship and how he speaks about it now interesting. He's very mature, understanding that he could have done more but accepting what has happened and even telling Naoto that just talking about it is enough for him. Of course, we get the meeting between the two; his final words to her made him the best character in the anime for me. Let's get Tokui a cutie!
8/10, this episode was cute
10. Hands Off: Sawaranaide Kotesashi-kun. Ep.11
SUMMARY
Aroma has been found. She's still bottom frag in my book, but there's nothing wrong with getting some fresh air to clear the mind of stress; of course, the best way to relieve stress would be, as Koyo suggested, touching buns.
We get to the point with haste this episode, it's time to train the core. We have endless workouts to do this, though Aroma's injuries do limit us here. His suggestions and care are enough for Aroma to finally trust him, still not putting her higher in the rankings however.
As much as I dog on Aroma, I respect that she takes Koyo's advice to heart. She does so for two weeks and I hope we'll get to see the results in the next episode. WE will, but Koyo might not make it with his popularity rising far more than expected by his closest fans.
7/10, a new contender has arrived
D: Do Not Recommend
Shows I do not recommend you watch for various issues.
11. Tales of Wedding Rings Season 2. Ep.11
SUMMARY
Alright, we're back. Stop hinting at the others girls getting play, we know it's not happening.
Satou takes the time to address the girls now that they are close to fighting the final boss. Very surprising as he's never cared for them much before, but he sure does force them to tell them how they feel about him, you arrogant , selfish, cheating, ok I'm done.
We get some sweet words from the girls, they each steal a kiss, maybe even a little more, definitely a lot less in some cases. Good on Amber for staking her claim, but I hope she knows she could do this with any other guy, she'd probably be better off for it as well.
Krystal should feel guilty, we're leaving power on the table because of her. Of course, the author is copping out by saying the power of feelings through Bluetooth. I guess we got some crazy art at least before setting off once more.
Into the abyss we go, light it up Krystal. They find a big old castle here, and an army waiting to fight. The team shows off their skills here, I guess the animation was nice. Bunk all that however, Amber summons her gundam and uses it to bust into the castle by force. Wait! Give us more of that!
After a quick look at the empire's forces, we return to the team as they prepare to enter the room holding the abyss king. Inside we go and who is it.... some guy in nice armor! I didn't expect the former ring girls there, or at least copies of them, but oh boy do I hope they win!
Each girl goes against their counterpart, even Nefritis is giving us some cool moves. The real battle is still with Haruto who gets some extra budget here. He's on the offensive but is overpowered with ease. The episode ends with the abyss king berating Satou, I already like the guy
6/10, please win abyss king!
F: Bad
Anime with glaring issues that make them not only difficult to watch, but the watcher angry at times.
12. One-Punch Man Season 3. Ep.10
SUMMARY
Starting off the episode with wack animation is something to expect of this mess now. While there are no emperor fans at the studio it seems Zombieman has no better luck. THEY EVEN HAVE THE FIGHT HIDDEN BEHIND A WALL SO THEY DONT HAVE TO ANIMATE IT, I HATE THIS!
Ahhh, ok. Zombieman vs Vampire. Guns vs wierd powers, let's see how little frames we can use this time around. The two have a short close combat exchange which was ok, we even get a pointless scene of Zombieman swinging his blades around like a show off.
That's all we get of the fight, we get a 30 minute time skip to the conclusion of the fight with Zombieman as the victor before he takes care of the monsters in the room. He said he wanted to get this over, me too man, me to.
Onto pig god who had the most shameful scene in the entire season I think. For those who do all they can to erase this from memory, it's the scene where they were pushing him into the underground. Good lord I'm mad just thinking about it.
Pig god gets no screen time as we move onto atomic samurai's crew vs the team of aramed raiders sent ealier. This crew is skillful enough in their own right, I think, I can't really tell what is going in these fights which is funny becaue the manga made it much clearer.
Amai mask takes over and we get a fight between him and BDSM girl. Ehhh, she could give Fubuki a run for her money in the right situation, so I'll aprove. This fight is short as Amai masks defeats them in no time, come on guys you know we don't have the budget or will to animate the fight or even the finish!
Skipping forward to Atomic samurai, we get a show of shiny lights meant to be a sword exchange. This fight ends and we end with the real matchup of Atomic vs sperm. For those who don't read the manga, this little guy is the real deal.
3/10, the opening was at the ending for what reason?
