Hello Old-school Animes, Hello Summer

usagijen — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 05:35:15 +0000

In line with my anticipated upcoming summer animes, I decided to watch Birdy the Mighty OVA, as well as a little of Aika and City Hunter (both of which I intend to compare with Yakushiji Ryouko). Now I’m totally hyped for Birdy the Mighty!! It’s a great show, certainly won’t disappoint. I love the antics of the 2-in-1 Tsutomu-Birdy, and despite having a little hope of a romance budding between these two, I think they’re just gonna be partners for life because there’s another girl in Tsutomu’s life. Episode 3 made me love that girl Natsumi as well. The mix of action and comedy is great, with some cool scifi human cyborg genetic mutation stuff too. This show totally rocks my socks.

As for Aika, UGH. The action scenes seemed to have been included in this show simply for the sake of pandering, showing panty shots in each and every kicks and low camera angle. Even in their battered state you see them BARE IT ALL (well, almost). Thanks to that, I can assure people that Yakushiji Ryouko is nothing like that crap Aika. Yakushiji Ryouko gives me City Hunter vibes, and my City Hunter rewatch just reaffirmed that. Now I feel like watching the entire City Hunter series!

Kure-nai 10

usagijen: I was expecting to hate this episode, based on the reviews I’ve been hearing, the lame-ification of Shinkurou compared to his more decisive novel persona. But that didn’t happen. After watching ep10, I’m still moved as ever. Great execution, with almost all the characters paving the way for Shin to realize what he wants. The anime has certainly brought ALL the characters to life, fleshing out all of them like the [first volume of the] novel never had.Similar Posts:

Macross F: Pure Awesomeness

usagijen — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 12:00:39 +0000

From watching ROOKIES, to semi-marathoning Macross F, this day has been such a great anime and dorama feast / bonding time with anikis~!

For Macross F, well what can I say [that hasn't already been said about it], it was PURE AWESOMENESS, inside (pierces through the depths of your soul) and out (visual feast +__+), and just about everything in between.

From the visual eyecandies, to the characters (Alto-sama~! <3 Ranka-chan mo <3), and the wonderful music, Macross F has been a totally orgasmic experience.

I owe a big thanks to my Macross-tard anikis for enlightening me on a lot of Macross technical stuff, to which I can only go "oohh~ O_O" in amazement. Marathoned 5 eps today (rewatched the pre-ep 1 too), and I’m so craving for moarr.Similar Posts:
