Eden of the East Movie 1 - The King of Eden

it was a superb movie in my opinion, although there wasnt much actions in the movie (there wasnt much too in the series)the plot development was great, and so was the climax. it was really a good continuation to the series itself.

so heres a brief summary, there are quite an amount of details in the movie, including all the Selecaos names and numbers and the things they did, so it'll be quite a brief one :)

[WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!]

Saki goes off to New York to find Akira with the message Akira had left her with his own Selecao phone, that he was waiting at the place where they had first met. Due to the language barrier, Saki was dropped off by the taxi at an unknown place where her luggage turns out to be full of weapons and was immediately suspected by the people around her. Saki turns away and ran past two policemen who had intended to stop Saki but had to go and assist elsewhere when a vehicle had crashed nearby. Way before Saki had went to New York, she had followed the message left behind by Akira and went to Washington to find him. She goes off to the place where she first saw Akira and also the place where Akira had stayed but was still unable to find him. Saki continues to return there, in hope of searching for Akira. Meanwhile, Eden of the East has expanded their own system and after the missile incident, more and more people are starting to use the system and it was revealed that Hirasawa had commercialised Eden of the East in hope of finding Akira as well, since they all know that they owed him one for saving everyone. Due to the NEET's photos during the missile incident, Akira's pose of pointing his hand and aiming the missile was printed on shirts and accessories and he was given the name Air King.
Saki however, feels that the message Akira had left her might have some hidden meaning and goes off to New York, while the team realises that Juiz had changed Akira's name and had labeled him as another son of the prime minister, and that Akira could be somewhere in New York. It was all the result of Akira asking Juiz to make him King. So it now returns to the time at the start and Saki had went to Ground Zero where she had a photo of Akira and her taken. Akira then appeared behind her and grabbed her away after throwing a pistol that Saki had due to the incident at the taxi. It was revealed too that a Selecao had used Juiz to changed Saki's luggage as well. Saki turns to Akira, although he labels himself as another name, and asks him for help on retrieving Akira's Selecao phone and her passport which she left in the taxi after all the mess. Akira however does not remember Saki at all, which was due to his memory wipe but had decided to help her find her belongings. On the way, Saki tells Akira that she was looking for a friend of hers and the things had belonged to that particular friend. It however does not spark off any old memories that Akira had. The phone and passport was safely returned to Saki with Akira's help and Saki tells him the truth that the person she was looking for was him all along. Akira does not seem to believe it but his judgement starts to waver when Saki shows her a photo of Akira and her with the background of Ground Zero. Akira later brings her to his place but was nearly injured with No.6's wierd requests to Juiz in helping him make a film about the two of them. Saki and Akira then took shelter at a cinema where Akira tells her about the message he was left with himself and had found this cinema. He seems to have lost most memories but had kept those regarding movies and it was too, due to that, he was able to locate Saki. Kuroha had also been secretly helping Saki and Akira in escaping from the plans of the other Selecaos and wanted to see him as the King and thus supported him. Pants did went to find the others in Japan where he had upgraded the Eden's server but when they discover that the logs of the Selecaos are mysteriously disappearing, he knew that they were secretly watched and had the others to silently disable their mobile phones which was bugged. Some Selecao had placed Eden of the East under investigation and Akira's identity was slowly changed to that of the minister's son. Hirasawa then decides to shut the Eden system down to provide more time before Akira's identity is entirely converted and Kasuga then suggests that they move their headquarters to another place that has the old Eden system in it. Saki and Akira had went to a theme park but was ambushed by another Selecao who had intended to capture them but the two of them had escaped with the help from Kuroha. In the car, Kuroha tells them that the minister's wife would like to meet with Akira and she herself would want to see Akira being the King. Before the prepared plane takes off back to Japan, Kuroha discovers that No.1 had shot a missile, Akira was also puzzled about the coordinates of the target and when Kuroha realises that the target was Juiz itself for No.12, which was a trailer carrying the Juiz for that particular Selecao. The other trailers were also targeted, and No.2's trailer was also shot down, resulting in him being unable to use Juiz anymore but he was soon visited by Yuuki who reveals to him that he had broken his own phone to prevent himself from being tracked by No.1. Kuroha knows that the other trailers are targeted and had used Juiz one last time to move her own trailer in front of the others and was wiped out instead. By losing her own Juiz, Kuroha then allows Saki to board the plane with Akira and asks her to assist Akira in whatever way she can as she herself is unable to do so. Before Akira leaves, he bids farewell to Kuroha and leaves with Saki to Japan.

... it was supposed to be brief ._. oh well, so now No.1's eliminating the other selecao's, not by taking their life but destroying 'their' Juiz instead. So it seems there is a different Juiz under each Selecao and that the trailers each contain their Juiz... which means No.1 now knows where Juiz is. great plot development yeah :D So Akira really did wipe out his memory again at the end of the anime series and was separated, only leaving his selecao phone behind with Saki. will be looking forward to the 2nd movie too, the 1st is just great! XD

P.S. dang i feel like somehow it isnt going to be a happy ending to this series D:

Ookami Kakushi's final episode was more like an omake episode rather than a continuation of where it had left off from the previous episode. The episode was also split into 2 different arcs and it did bring our the humour of each character... Nemuru really had a totally different personality in this episode, wasnt that serious like in the series itself... would prefer it this way :D

The 1st arc generally talked about Mana and Nemuru's obsession with a specific pink bunny called Usaeru. Hiroshi had 1st met up with Kaname, Isuzu and Nemuru and went to a ice cream shop before the episode moved on to the arc itself. Kaname had suggested that they do an investigation on unknown things which she then notices an Usaeru keychain on Nemuru's bag. In the arc, Nemuru goes to Hiroshi's house and changes into the Usaeru suit before going into Mana's room to greet her. Her "Usaeru! Pyon!" greeting was hilariously cute though :D Mana then started to talk about the house that Usaeru could live in but when she told Nemuru about her ideas, Nemuru sees the ideas in a different light and concludes that Mana was a demon child. Mana did say that Usaeru would be a queen and lives in a castle, served by servants, which Nemuru deciphers it as an evil queen with captured slaves under her... furthermore, when Mana said that she would like to live together with them with a broad smile, Nemuru did her conclusion when she see Mana smile while saying that (in her own perception that the castle was a evil place) ... i seriously LOL-ed at this ._. so off Nemuru goes to commence some ancient spells to bring the castle to "live" but Hiroshi, out of interest, opens the box that was supposed to be given to Mana and witnessed the evil castle.

The 2nd arc was about Hiroshi being brought to a coffee lounge by Isuzu and Kaname who tells him that cable TV crew would be coming in and interview the mysterious waiter who appears out of nowhere. Hiroshi was dressed up as a female waiter and was almost "loved" by another customer where Nemuru had almost switched into Kamibito mode. The mysterious butler did appear and it turns out to be Nemuru's father who did some huge swinging action with the scythe, resulting in him having to call off the interview as he had sprained himself.

The 2 arcs did turned out to be pretty funny, loved the 1st arc more though... Ookami Kakushi did started out with a dramatic intro, with Hiroshi already being attacked and then slowly moved on with the days before the incident. the plot was great too, with a rather good pace of story advancement, loved the climax too and the way everything had ended. 11 episodes (story part only) did turn out to be just nice for this series too IMO. it is a rather good series :) glad i've watched it.

and heres the bonus LOL part O.o



Pyon! XD

Baka to Test had a rather nice climax for the series with the ESB with class A .

Yoshii and the others are already training with their summoned beings by using the field created by Yoshii's iron bracelet but lately it has been acting all wierd. Yuuji then prepares the class for the battle and decides to use different strategies to win this. The first one came with Hideyoshi taking her sister's uniform and her books which turns out to be a yaoi book and Yoshii is requested to take the book to return to Hideyoshi's sister who did accepted the battle (after beating Yoshii up). Class B was then 1st lead up to diminish the points of Class A as planned thoughtfully by Yuuji as the other classes had owed them when they denied the change of facilities and class C was enraged by the words of Hideyoshi who had wore his sister's uniform to disguise himself. Class A was continuously bombarded by the other classes' attacks but still had stamina to keep going which surprised Yuuji since the students from Class A were more focused on studying and were not athletic. The ESB between Class F and Class A now begins and Yuuji manages to lure them out to the courtyard where some of the Class A students were overpowered by many Class F students. The plan continues to go well till Shouko and Kinoshita finally found Yuuji and the others. However, with their extra training with their summoned beings, Yuuji, Yoshii, Minami and Himeji were about to dodge their opponents' attacks and was able to slowly weaken them. When the reinforcements of Class A arrives, Yoshii uses his sumoned being to break the school bell and blocks their entry to the field by extending the ESB field with his bracelet. When the tables seemed to have turned, Yoshii's bracelet starts to malfunction as it was originally given to a stupid person but had malfunctioned as Yoshii had started studying. The extended ESB field disappears, resulting in parts of the school building to collapse due to the school bell and Shouko and Himeji both fell into the rubbles where they were caught by Yuuji and Yoshii respectively. "Ironman" later comes and saves Yoshii, Himeji and Minami but as they were wondering if everyone was all right, Yuuji's being was defeated by Kinoshita and the battle was won by Class A.

a rather carefully thought plan Yuuji had and this episode did had much impact on each of the characters now. Yuuji isnt actually stupid and had used strategy planning instead of pure knowledge in the ESB battles and he still does care for Shouko. Minami seems to realise that Himeji does have feelings for Yoshii too after seeing her breaking down on Yoshii after she was saved. it would be great if this series had a great ending to it as well, it was an enjoyable episode and an exciting one for the series's climax.

Sora no Woto had a rather great ending =)

After the gunshot, an injured Aisha collapses on the floor. With the soldiers reporting to Hopkins that a Roman soldier is found, Filicia suddenly points her gun at Hopkins and request him to pull his forces out of their place. Meanwhile, Yumina helps to treat Aisha who seems to be seriously injured but survived the shot. Hopkins was then tied up but as he continue to repeat the old times of Noel Kannagi who had revived a weapon from the past which aided Hopkins into massacring people, Filicia shuts him up after firing her pistol. While Kureha and Kanata were on the lookout, Kanata hears a "cease-fire" signal being blown and tells Filicia about it. Naomi goes off to tell Hopkins about the signal, who had escaped by himself, she gets arrested instead. Aisha then tries to sit up and tells Noel that she will forgive her even if the others would not and that she was just like her, having no choice since they were soldiers. Noel was touched by her words and with the others, they deployed the Takemikazuchi. Hopkins attempt to stop them from reaching the frontline but was unable to stop it due to it being a weapon of the past and the girls successfully made it to the frontlines. Kanata then takes the chance to blow the "cease-fire" signal but to no avail. She then starts blowing the melody that Iliya once blown and it managed to stop both sides from attacking. However, when Kanata blows finish the melody, both sides quickly went back to begin the assault again but this time was interfered by Rio's forces. She is now seen as a princess and has with her a royal decree on the ceasefire and that the peace talks has ended. Soldiers from both sides were happy to hear that and the girls too. Soon after, the girls expected a new soldier to be joining them and was elated to discover that it was Rio who would be joining them again which she explained that due to her help in stopping the war, she was granted any wish, and that was to return to the 1121 platoon.

overall, it was a nice series (with + points with their resemblance to K-On! O.o) and had quite an action-packed last episode. It felt great seeing Hopkin's forces getting pwned by the Takemikazuchi. The tank however still looked wierd to me though... spider legs ... and the way it moved was funny XD but it really is more agile and had a pretty thick armour. it was nice to see the girls piloting the tank too and the appearance of Rio again was just perfect for the ending. This series was light-hearted in the front few episodes but got more serious at the last climax. they could have shared more about Noel's past though, but at least now she shows more emotions O.o glad that i've continued to follow this series :)

and heres another PV of Angel Beats!... really looking forward to this since its from KEY :D the main girl seems really similar to Haruhi lol ._.

D: nonononononononononononononononononononononononononononononoooooooooooooo~

Hayate no Gotoku just took the step which i've hoped it would've never take ...

Athena has left Hayate.......... NAZE DAAAAAAAAAAAAA..............................

T.T so i presume this arc to have ended and the future with Nagi w/o her inheritance (maybe) might prove to be an interesting continuation for the manga itself, it was quite a touching chapter to end the relationship between Athena and Hayate though...

[SO now here's my bias-ed view]

ARGHHHH WHY WHY WHY???!?!?!??!?!?! gosh... i had wanted some relationship to continue between Hayate and Athena and now this chapter has smashed that thought to pieces D: they do seem to be great couple though... the series might have ended if Hayate and Athena stayed together but at least Athena still could like appear now and then and still hold some feelings for Hayate? oh well... i'll still see how the story progresses from here... am now considering to continue collecting the volumes for A-tan arc XD

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun ends... with a good ending nonetheless :)

Kiyama continues to pursue the trucks which she believes the children are inside but it was a decoy after all. The girls arrived just in time and helped to stop the MAR from attacking Kiyama. Saten and Uiharu hops into Kiyama's car and navigated the way to the children with Konori and Misaka on the motorbike behind. Kongou and Kuroko stays behind to fend off the incoming MAR robots. On the way to the children, Misaka and the others are ambushed by a gigantic robot controlled by Telestina (transformers ._.) and Misaka was flung onto Kiyama's vehicle. Her ability does not seem to work on the robot as Telestina had already seen her data bank and knows each and every of her ability and her active range of her railgun. Misaka, however, doesnt give up and clung on to one of the firing claw using magnetism and started to input electricity into it till it explodes. Misaka then calls out for Kuroko who arrives and teleports one of the large metal part of the destroyed claw which Misaka fires as a railgun and successfully destroyed that yellow piece of metal thing. They finally arrived at the facility where the children are kept but is affected by Capacity Down with Telestina, being alived, bringing each of them down. Uiharu notices that Saten has not yet been discovered by Telestina and since Capacity Down doesnt work on her, Uiharu discloses the control of Capacity Down out loud, hoping for Saten to hear it. While Misaka tries to delay Telestina from restarting the expreriment with the completed sample, Saten deactivates the Capacity Down and Misaka throws Telestina away using electricity and faced off with her using her railgun VS Telestina's lance-like-beam-laser-weapon. With Misaka overpowering Telestina, Academy City is spared a large-scale poltergeist attack and Kiyama uses the First Sample and the child errors wake up, recognising Kiyama-sensei once again. The child errrors are then sent to the hospital and Misaka and the others rushes for time to meet up with them but however, was still late for the message. Kiyama, in another hospital, looks out of the window and sees the airship showing a message from the children, wishing Kiyama Happy Birthday and Misaka declares that Academy City is still the best place for all of them.

a happy ending nonetheless and Telestina really had that sinister-looking face whenever its her scene... and her laughter is still getting more and more similar to Beatrice's lol ._. So Misaka's railgun VIA coin can only travel up to 50 metres and the LONG LONG railgun which is shown in the OP could be generated with a larger piece of metal... the "transformer" really didnt look tat nice, it seemed to be just like a larger MAR robot thats all and Telestina shld've died if that large railgun did shot through her (which DID since the path of the railgun was seen in the sky) but she reappeared again with just wound on her face and her armour barely scratched =X There was a short scene with Index and Touma at the back too lol, seems like Accelerator would come after this since this Level 6 project had failed... it was a nice series (although i still preferred Index), would love it if they could show the other Level 5s, like in the sisters arc, action-packed last episode and a great series too =D

P.S. at least they did give Saten something to do to save everyone, everyone does have their own individual part in the series :)

i had almost thought that Ookami Kakushi had ended as well ._. it really had the "last-episode" feel though... So Hiroshi and the others went ahead to stop Sakaki from opening the dam and flooding the city. Hiroshi and Kaname went to take the normal route whereas Isuzu and Nemuru went into the forest but Sakaki was already ahead of them. Sakaki tries to overpower the person who is in control of the dam with a knife but was injured instead and resorted to using his pistol. Nemuru, Isuzu and the other followers arrived a little too late and the water had already started flowing into the town but they managed to stop it before the entire city is flooded. Isuzu notices that Sakaki was injured and followed his trail but was shot when she was discovered by him. Nemuru , Hiroshi and Kaname kept up with them and Hiroshi stands in to protect Nemuru and Isuzu as Sakaki wanted to finish them of since he sees them as monsters. Sakaki then drags Hiroshi over to a cliff and continue to ignore his argument that they arent monsters at all. Just when Sakaki wanted to shoot Nemuru down, Kaori and the others arrived at the scene and she asks Sakaki to finish her off instead as it would bring the end of the incident since she was given the position as the White Wolf Kannon. Sakaki's decision starts to waver as Kaori was very similar to Mieko, his fiancee but decides to shoot Nemuru again. This time, the bullet was blocked by Kaori who slowly drags Sakaki over and cliff and falls to the bottom below together with him. After that incident, those people who feared the Jougas after learning of their existence decided to leave the town where the others continue to live their lives as per normal...

it really does seem to be a last episode yea? So Sakaki didnt get scythed by Nemuru at all but was pulled to his death by his fiancee-look-a-like, Kaori, whom i've thought that she wouldnt just stand there throughout the whole incident, but it was pretty sadded that she had to die =X Nemuru seems to be much more open after the incident too... so the next episode would probably be the last and hoping that it'll bring the whole series to a nice conclusion :D

Baka to Test 11 had the class ESB returning once again. In the first half, Yuuji decides to declare war with D class and since they did not have much points to waste, careful strategy planning had to be made. In the end, F class did won with the "sacrifice" of Yoshii and Tsuchiya from leaking old grades of Yuuji to make D class lower their guard on him. Yuuji then decides to go against B class after replenishing their points but B class had came and destoryed their classroom and even taken Himeji's love letter. Halfway through the ESB battle, Yoshii did manage to "summon" the grim reapers of F class to overcome most of the enemies but when he sees Nemoto threatening Himeji using her love letter, Yoshii flares up and decides to change the strategy. He uses his own summoning being and breaks down the wall of B class which he is faced with Nemoto and his bodyguards. However, Nemoto was ambused by Ironman and Tsuchiya who came flying in from the window and defeating him. F class was declared the winner and Yuuji forces Nemoto to wear girl's uniform, probably suggested by Yoshii to retrieve Himeji's letter. Himeji, however, tears the letter up after seeing that it had caused so much problems for her and everyone else and wants herself to speak up the next time without using the letter at all. She then asks Yoshii if she can call him Akihisa-kun from now on. Meanwhile, Yuuji asks Yuuko not to hold back during the ESB with their class. It does seem to be more serious episode this time round with much screentime shown on the ESBs and the next episode might be the ESB of F class VS A class which would be interesting to see. was expecting Himeji to confess at the last part of the episode though... oh well, the FFF people are just like ._. awesome lol

P.S. Yuuji's black and white scenes never cease to amuse me...

... Sora no Woto's 11th episode was like ... WOW O.O an awesome episode indeed, great plot development and entrance to the climax =)

Kanata and Kureha were out on patrol and spotted an injured Roman soldier and brought her back to base. After Noel saw the soldier lying on bed, she remembers something from the past where a girl, similar to the soldier lying down in bed, being injured and calling her as the Witch of Helvetia. Being shocked by that flashback, Noel decides to take care of her. Meanwhile, Filicia is troubled whether to hand her over where she'll definitely be interrogated. Kureha tells her not to forget the fact that they are still Helvetian soldiers but Kanata had also said that Roman soldiers are like the same as them although she had previously thought of them to be scarier. After the Roman soldier, Aisha, wakes up, she attacks Noel but calmed down soon after. The girls do not speak Roman and had troubles deciphering her words and Filicia thus decides to keep her for the time being till she knows about her mission. Kanata and Noel then brought her out to blow the trumpet (Aisha knows how to blow the trumpet too) and coincidentally, Yumina happens to drop by after hearing of rumours that there was a Roman soldier in the platoon. Yumina was able to speak Rome and communicated with her and was shocked to learn that their ways of thinking was wrong as Aisha believed that the Angel of Apocalypse had ended the world which Yumina believed it to be the work of the devil. Kanata then hears the sound of the horn which meant "onwards" for the Helvetian army and was led by Commander Hopkins which caused Noel to remember the past again and had to be comforted by Filicia. Filicia decides to hide them and with her, Kanata and Kureha, the trio goes out to meet with the commander. Hopkins suspect the platoon to be hiding the Roman soldier and calls for a search. While in hiding, Aisha learns of Noel's name as Noel Kannagi and labeled her as the invisible shinigami. Noel then screams after seeing flashes from her past again and runs out of the hiding place where Aisha follows her and was discovered by the searching soldiers. In the meantime, Kanata picks up a call and is shocked to hear that a Roman army is advancing via No Man's Land.

WOW... lots of things happened in this episode. Much of Noel's past was revealed too and she seems to have worked under Hopkins before and was labeled as a genius which could be that she had helped to develop ancient weapons (or to bring back). Noel seems to see Aisha before somewhere where she and other soldiers were injured and Noel's name also seems to be famous with the Romans too as the invisible shinigami. Their Takemikazuchi could be put up to use by Hopkin (although im hoping for the girls to pilot it... come on.. its like near the last episode alrdy?) It could end with something to do with Aisha to clear doubts and hopefully end the peace treaty... nice and typical ending but it'll be great =D

this was from Miku's Day concert if im nt wrong... looks like the hologram quality increased :D great music too XD

Monday, March 15, 2010

Ookami Kakushi has pretty much moved on to develop on what exactly was Sakaki planning. It was the day for the Hassaku Festival and Hiroshi also learns about the Jouga counting song which his father showed to him. At the festival, Hiroshi sees that Kaori was amongst the masked people who were in charge of the whole festival. He then suddenly sees Isuzu but thought that it was just his thinking as he was unable to find her afterwards with Kaname. The Hassaku Festival then begins with the Hassakus being rolled down the steps which each contained a wish from the original owner. Sakaki, meanwhile, had released the girlfriend of Issei who was captured and locked in the same place as Kaname previously. That girl had wondered into the crowd and as she was already berserk, she went to attack a person and had almost changed her target to Hiroshi (shld be due to his own strong scent) which was stopped by Nemuru and Isuzu. As she had no choice, Nemuru strikes the girl down in front of the villages and at that moment, Sakaki walks down the steps and revealed the secret behind the town itself. It slowly turned into a small dispute between the normal villagers and the "wolves" as they had enuff of resisting their own urge and had accused Hiroshi that he shld not have entered the town. Sakaki, by this time, had left and was confronted by one working under the Kushinada family. The man learns of Sakaki's plan to drown the town by breaking the dam but was stabbed in the process. Another person then comes by and sees him on the floor, injured, and went to warn the villages of the plan, although he was told by the injured guy that he shld only tell the "wolves" (kinda 4gotten those men names =.=). Nemuru, Isuzu, Hiroshi and Kaname now goes after Sakaki to stop him from carrying out his devious plot. Sakaki really only wanted to destroy the law as his own girlfriend was killed and had only wanted revenge. Nemuru this time had no choice but to swing the scythe in front of the villages though... was expecting the secret to get out sooner or later lol, but this was a nice way... evil Sakaki ... got a hunch that hes gonna get scythed by Nemuru lol.

it seems that Railgun is now approaching the climax of the season. It turns out that Telestina was the final baddie after all... was kinda surprised by this though... i had nt suspected Telestina at all when she 1st appeared... (or maybe its just me =.=) At the start, Haruue was brought to the room where the unconscious child errors where held at and she was finally reconciled with Banri. Back at Judgment, Kuroko was declaring the poltergeist incident to a close and Saten urged Uiharu to go and see Haruue. Meanwhile, Misaka ponders whether her decision to allow Telestina to take away the child errors was the right thing to do. Uiharu goes to find Kiyama before going to see Haruue and tells her about what Haruue feels and hears when the poltergeist happens and suggested Kiyama to bring her research along to MAR and to see the child errors again. However at MAR, Telestina told Uiharu and Kiyama that the child errors are being moved to another facility, including Haruue, and destroyed the research that Kiyama had passed to her. It was then that Telestina was revealed as Telestina Kihara Lifeline, the granddaughter of Kihara himself. Uiharu returns to Judgment crying and Kuroko went over to knock some sense into her that now is not the time to be crying and was to search for the location where the child errors are being brought to. Misaka however, goes to confront Telestina but was defeated due to the use of Capacity Down which was designed by Telestina herself. She also tells Misaka that she would want to complete Kihara's research and she was also discovered as the 1st test subject for the crystal. Kongou happened to be nearby and saves Misaka before she was brought away and when she wakes up, Saten stops her from leaving again and together, they attempt to rescue the children from Telestina. ok... Telestina went abit haywire in this episode, maybe to make it super obvious as a villian, i find her laughter similar to Beatrice from Umineko LOL ._. so now Kiyama is following the trucks with the child errors and Misaka and the others, and even Antiskill would be moving out to rescue them, will be expecting some action-packed episodes after this though... hopefully =)

Sora no Woto 10 did made a huge move on the characters. Rio was seen burning papers which seemed to me to be the document that she had received earlier on. Their tank was also finally completed with the legs and Kanata became more interested in Princess Iliya and went with Kureha to search for more details on her. Yumina then passes by and requested for them to go and see hows an old lady who was living alone in the countryside doing. Kanata manages to bring Rio out of her room, where she seemed deep in thought, looking at Iliya's photo, and together they went to check on the old lady. They realise that the old lady was constructing another house and it was for her son who had not returned home for a long time but as winter is arriving, Kanata and Rio became worried for her. Rio then shed some light on her past to Kanata and said that she had a sister, who was not blood related, who had thought her how to blow the trumpet. They then returned to the house and the old lady said that she was still happy to be waiting which Rio tells her that she should not be. The next morning, Kanata and Rio wakes up to find out that the old lady was gone and her footsteps had disappeared halfway in the snow. Back to their headquarters, Filicia told the others that Rio was going to leave them and before leaving, Kanata says that she believed it was the music that had brought them to meet each other and with Rio leaving her trumpet in Kanata's care, she departs Seize. ..........so Rio left ._. oh well, it is still part of the plot and at least now the tank seems to have legs now... and with this episode, it can be said that Rio's sister was actually Iliya herself as there were scenes showing Iliya teaching Rio trumpet in the past. So Rio was actually of the royalty side? would hope that this would not be the last time we see of Rio though, she could be an important character in the plot, or so i guess =X

Bleach's latest chapter awarded us with Aizen's shocked face again. So Wonderweiss is defeated by Yamamoto with his own fists but it had exploded with the flames of Yamamoto which he had to go and absorb the blast, resulting in Yamamoto being injured. Aizen goes over and was prepared to deal the final blow where Yamamoto grabs his leg and casts a spell. Aizen barely escapes and was faced with the hollow-fied Ichigo instead. So finally Ichigo had made a move... although i seriously doubt that its the end... Aizen's hollow form hasnt appeared yet, let alone his own Bankai... im now just hoping that it isnt going to be an illusion again ...

had heard that Byakuran was defeated by Tsuna, which made me go off and scan through the many many chapters which i had left off and it was a typical defeat... one side overpowering the other... although the flashbacks had added on to the feel. Uni had also sacrificed herself to revive the other arcobalenos and sealed off the mare rings so that Tsuna and the others can return to a peaceful past. so i hope that the next arc would be better than this (although this arc wasnt SO bad but i didnt really like the last final fight chapters between Byakuran's followers and Tsuna's team)

was bloody tired today in sch =X i shld never try and watch an evening movie at some far far place on Sunday which the next day is Monday + Monday blues =.= oh well, was so tired after returning home yesterday and after finishing typing the previous post, i just slumped off to sleep and REALISING that i've not yet blog about Railgun 22 D:

anyways, it is shown that Haruue was in the same facility for Child Errors as Edasaki but she was later transferred to another facility which she was actually undergoing the experiments. Misaka later explains to Telestina about the situation and the experiments that the children were undergoing as she had peered into Kiyama's memory before during the Level Upper incident. Telestina seems to know something about Kihara, the scientist that had "ordered" the experiment with Kiyama and labeled him as a mad scientist whose whereabouts is unknown. Misaka suspects Kiyama and the other child errors, who are in a coma state after the experiment, and hopes to find them as soon as possible. Kuroko also reveals to Misaka that there could be a large scale poltergeist effect due to the child errors when their AIM dispersion fields start to resonate. Misaka also learns that Kiyama was out on bail and that made her even more suspicious of the incident's perpetrator. Misaka leaves late in the night and returns to the place where Kiyama had conducted the experiments and she was able to confront Kiyama there. Kiyama then brings Misaka to another place where she sees all the other child errors being kept together there. The doctor who had previously treated Touma in the Index series, was also there and explained to Misaka about the situation. It was Kihara who wanted to produce a Level 6 and had tried to place a certain crystallised form of secreted substance from certain individuals into the selected ones, which in this case was the child errors. Kiyama tells Misaka that the poltergeist had occurred when the children were almost awakening and she was in a need for data from the research to successfully awaken the children. Just then, the MAR team intervenes and Telestina had ordered the transfer of the child errors away and when Misaka tells Kiyama that one of her friend is able to hear the voice of Edasaki, Kiyama breaks down.

oh well, it was certainly a surprising episode with the attempt to create the Level 6 it could perhaps be due to this failure that they decided to use Accelerator and the Sisters experiment in the near future i guess. and so Kiyama is out of the jail for now and more could be explained in the next episode and Kiyama could now sort of make use of Haruue to listen to wad the children are saying... nw im having a feel that the children wont wake up at all till the end of the series (which is probably 3 more episodes) or they might wake up in the end to give a happy ending. I'll prefer the 2nd option but the 1st option seems more possible with the current plot IMO.

Summer Wars is really a great great movie! Was glad to have caught it before it stops showing in Cathay =D



[WARNING] Spoilers Ahead:

So the story starts which the introduction of a virtual world, known as the world of Oz, and it is like another form of the world, from reality to virtual. Everyone that has an Oz account would be given an Avatar and with that, they would also have the "power" and "authority" like in reality. Which means the Avatar of the traffic department in a certain country would have the power to affect the traffic and so on. As Oz was an efficient system, almost everyone in the world has an account, whether the individual is just a normal citizen or some high ranking authorities. One day, the main protagonist, Kenji, gets invited to his crush, Natsuki's house to stay for a few days and it was a job given to him. It was only after he reached his destination that he realises his job was to pretend to be Natsuki's boyfriend as Natsuki had promised her grandma that she'll bring back a boyfriend soon. So Kenji begins to stay with Natsuki's relatives as they were all gathered to celebrate Natsuki's grandmother's 90th birthday. Kenji also discovers that one of them was actually the legendary fighter Avatar, Kazuma. One night, Kenji receives a message on his phone where it shows 2000 over numbers which is some sort of code and he took almost the entire night to solve it and sends it back to the sender. It was later in the morning that he was being labelled as the culprit who had hacked into Oz and had deemed it unstable for usage, thus creating many problems internationally. The code that he was solving the whole night was incidentally the security code for access to Oz. Kenji suspects that someone had hacked into his Avatar and had used it to wreck havoc and tried to stop it but to no avail. He was later apprehended by one of the family member, who is a policeman but got caught in a very long jam since Oz is now unstable and is affecting many many systems worldwide by taking over the Avatars. Problems like the GPS not working properly, firemen getting dispatched to almost everywhere and ambulances receiving calls from almost every elderly. It seems that the thing behind the hacking of the Oz system was an AI and was not a human. That AI has the ability to absorb other Avatars and is capable of controlling everything worldwide with the stolen Avatars. Later in the day, one of the family members, Wabisuke, drops by but was not welcomed as he had once sold off Natsuki's grandmother property to get money to go to America but once he knows that the AI is screwing Oz up, he admits that it was an AI that he had created using the money he had obtained from selling away the property and it was a information-seeking AI and is always hungry for more information and loves games as well. Natsuki's grandmother flares up upon hearing that the money he had gotten from her was used to create this hacking AI, known as the Love Machine. Not long after, Natsuki's grandmother passed on as the warning system that was through Oz had not sounded when she had heart problems and it was due to the AI's doings as it had screwed the system up. The men in the family, with Kenji, then decides to get revenge for their grandmother and sets up a supercomputer with awesome specs, a radar and some other unique equipments to allow them to have a chance to defeat the Love Machine. Kazuma steps up to offer a challenge to the AI after being defeated by it once and lures the AI into a trap by thinking through the old strategies used but due to unforeseen circumstances, the AI gets insanely huge and wipes off Kazuma's Avatar and absorbs it in the end. It was then the others realised that it was not just a game and was of utmost importance. The AI has now taken over the controls of a satellite and is attempting to crash it down on a nuclear plant and a timer was already beginning to count down. The family now sticks together and with Natsuki leading, they challenge the AI to a Hanafuda challenge and the AI accepts it as it really love games. Things did not turn out well as they were betting Avatars and Natsuki was out of credits after one bad round. When all hopes seems to be lost, Natsuki obtains the Avatars of millions worldwide who have yet been absorbed by the AI and with it, Natsuki turns the table around and manages to defeat the AI and revert back the stolen Avatars. It all seems to be over when the timer stops but then it continues again, ONLY at their place, where they discover that the AI is now targeting the house they are staying at. Whilst everyone is trying to evacuate, Kenji attempts to rewrite the code for the crashing of the satellite and encounters yet another long-coded security but solves it faster that the 1st time. The AI however, changes it instantly again and again until Kenji had used his own brain to think of the code instead of decoding it on paper. With the immense concentration he had, till he had a nosebleed, supports from the others and Kazuma's help in destroying the AI completely, the course for the crash was diverted and everyone was safe and sound. It then ends with Natsuki and Kenji being cheered on as couples and Natsuki giving Kenji a kiss on the cheek where he nosebleeds once again and faints onto the ground.

The hilarious / serious / sad parts were well mixed in the entire movie and there was a time and place for each of the different portions of the movie. I really did felt sad after seeing Natsuki's grandma passed on and the will she had written after that on Wabisuke, who had rushed back after hearing about her death, was really touching. The plot was creative and it really does emphasize on the fact that virtual should be kept away from reality and these hacking AIs, when created and used, could cause a very serious cyber to reality attack. After Natsuki had won the Hanafuda challenge, i had thought that wad was the main protagonist there for? He was like only there cheering Natsuki on... it was the the main climax wasnt over and then he comes in to crack the code to save everyone. The climax after climax way of setting was great as i'll be like expecting one climax to end it all but it keeps coming which kept me entertained throughout the show. It was a truly wonderful film and should not be missed, (weekend tickets are expensive =X)... did not regret a slightest bit after watching this and would definitely regret if i did not watched this... THUMBS UP for a great movie!!! XDD

There was much scenes from the climax in this PV though O.o

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu was another WOW! episode ._. this time not full of Hideyoshi's shots but of Yoshii's sister (well, not ALL the epicness comes from her...) so it begins with Yoshii's sister, Akira, returning from overseas to check on Yoshii whether he is still eligible to continue to live alone. He of course, has rules he had to abide and points he had to retain in order to stay alone and Akira had started to minus off those points when she discovers "unintended" books around or when he comes into contact with the opposite sex, although she's completely fine with if Yoshii meddles with the same sex ._. Due to this wierd sister, Yoshii decides to ask to stay over at Yuuji's place, however, at the wrong time...

Shouko: Allow me to check ur phone to see if u are cheating on me...
*Yuuji squirms due to his eyes being repeatably damaged*
"Hm... it seems that u have more messages from Yoshii as compared to mine, i suspect u're having a relationship with him..."
*buzz... incoming message"
"Hey, can i stay over at ur place? i dont really wanna go back to mine today..."
*taser sparks*

EPIC-ness XDDD

well, in the end, Yoshii brought everyone over to his house, due to multiple misunderstandings, and they discovered the fact that Yoshii's sister was there. Himeji and Minami had both suspected that Yuuji was having a relationship with someone but it turns out to be just his sister. It was later revealed by his sister that Yoshii has a fetish with ponytail girls with big er... size... so Himeji immediately went to attempt to tie her hair into a ponytail... this does seem quite obvious that she likes Yoshii, but purely i tink Yoshii is just so stupid to not "see" it, maybe in the next episode perhaps... which does hint about love letters O.o lots of Yuuji-turned-black-and-white face ard in this episode, which are all equally epic and Himeji's self-denial with cotton puff for make-ups becoming fish cake ._. nonetheless an entertaining episode XD

Ookami Kakushi is really getting better and better now =X much much more details are revealed in the latest episode and the secret of the town was actually written as the Jouga counting rhyme which Kaname discovers. Hiroshi is locked up with Nemuru who seems to be uncomfortable with Hiroshi being so near and due to his request, Nemuru decides to reveal the secret of the town to him. Basically, Nemuru are of a kind which could be known as the Jouga and the fallen ones were basically referring to Hiroshi and those Jougas who prey or attack the fallens will be dealt accordingly as the rule states. It is said that each fallen emits a certain scent where only Jougas are able to pick it up and it is known as "temptation" to them. And incidentally, Hiroshi's scent is exceptionally strong. Believing in the fact that Nemuru would not hurt him, Hiroshi unties Nemuru but she suffers even more as she is restraining herself from going after or attack Hiroshi. Kaname overhears the situation and goes off with Hiroshi's father to look for both Hiroshi and Nemuru and with the aid of Nemuru's father, they are able to locate them with Hiroshi being unhurt and Nemuru being able to restrain herself from the "temptation". Im not really entirely sure if my explanation is 100% correct but its smth like that... they might explain more in the next few episodes or so... at least we now do know wad exactly is happening in the town and the rule that they abide by... Isuzu is also shown at the back part of the episode, on the hospital bed, which is suspect it to be at the Center. Now a Hiroshi X Nemuru pairing does seem even more possible, unless they do not decide to shift this into a partial romance anime ...

argh... DGM's getting more confusing =X Kanda and Alma's past are still being told and more details about the 2nd exorcist project was also given. Looks like i'll have to read them through one more time when this arc comes to an end...

Sora no Woto 9 had the leg-less tank being sent out of the garage but was not made to go into combat. Rio acted wierd all day after she'd got a call from her father, as what Filicia suggested to be. Claus later comes by and gives Rio a delivery which she hesitated on opening it. Yumina later comes over to request for the help as Seiya had went missing in the typhoon which made everyone to go into town and search for him. Kureha managed to find him trying to protect the eggplant which Yumina likes and with Claus's help, they are able to persuade into bringing Seiya to safety but Kureha and Claus were trapped due to a landslide. As the situation got worse, Kureha somehow realises that the man wasnt really the Claus she had admired, which Rio reveals to Kanata previously and seeing how dangerous the situation is, Noel decides to use the tank to shoot an anchor wire over and pull them in. The "Claus" knows that Kureha admires him and thus protected her and brought her to safety which Kureha affirms again that he is a man that she looks up to. I dun really tink the tank's gonna be fixed any time soon, or maybe for the entire series, but this episode wasnt that bad, much development on Kureha and Claus and the princess had already passed on and could have triggered some memory in Rio when she saw the river and thought of the princess...

HnG reveals now that Hayate did have the stone when he 1st ventured into the castle where A-tan resides in and when he leaves, he meets his brother (as in the previous volume), where his brother takes out the stone and hears someone calling for help. He follows the voice to the castle and sees A-tan there where he walks up to her and tells her that she was calling for help and he had heard it. Well, im really interested in seeing how Hayate's brother really looks like (although i do have a feeling that he's just gonna look like the Hayate now) and what relationship did happen between A-tan and Hayate's brother. Really hoping for a nice conclusion to this arc and the aftermath of it, with A-tan now being rescued and Nagi, after losing her inheritance.
