After Full Metal Alchemist, Ao no Exorcist took over to cover our not-so-your-typical shounen series for these two season. Yeah, it has its moments; certainly it has the production quality to deliver great combat where it need to. It also has a decent drama and characterization to boot. It does deserve a notion on being good overall, but it doesn’t have what it takes to be this years best.
All roads lead to confession. The series has derailed itself long ago, so even a good ending won’t changed that fact. I like that everybody seems to finally moved on. I wonder if this series can go for another season. Let’s just hope that it focuses more on the core plot.
Hanasaku Irona, a great coming-of-age drama that never came to be. It has a ton of potential and the skills to make a good drama, but it tries to tell a lot of things, yet, fails to connect them together. It is as if, this is the Naruto/One Piece of drama.
What can you say if you put the three generations of workaholics together? Awesome. The second to the last episode of Hanasaku Iroha is now throwing it all in with all the cast doing what they had done all along, and not waste our time with stories. We see a lot of development on the relationship between the families, and their interaction is at its peak. It should be. Read the rest of this entry
Delaying tactics at its finest. I really, really want to beat the crap out of Ohana. But since the drama in this final arc is interesting, I let it pass. Besides, the direction it’s taking with Ohana bringing Ko to the Bonbori festival is a dead give way for a confession. I DO hope that is the case there. Ohana is a bitch, and I would be happy seeing doujin of her falling from the Kisuisso stairs out in the front door rolling along the hill, hit by a 10-wheeler truck and fall into a sea infested with sharks.
Hanasaku Iroha tends to get in my nerves of having to side track for the greater duration of its run. It was suffering and unrewarding. There are good ones, I admit. But why settle for things you don’t want and just get the ones you intended. We get of in this situation every time, that we are not being delivered on our expectation set since the first two episode, still we carry on hoping to get what we want. Well, we just did this week.
It finally delivered more that I hoped for. This episode opens that final curtain to the series, and we get to finally see Ohana moving on towards confessing to Ko. We get Minko to get her feeling across to Thoru pushing her love story around. With the final blast of Grandma ending the Kissuiso on its end.
It’s has been ages since I watch Sket dance. But here I am continuing my gruelling slow-paced blogging of such. I finally get to see the final match, which was a battle of wits and bluff. I don’t see much suspense in all, of the pent-up tension it presented. The President doesn’t have that evil aura to disband something out of sheer boredom. But we do see that show does keep in mind the things we are interested in, SKET-dan.
Okay the bitch and Enichi are getting married. Inn makes a fuss and Ohana fess it up. Hanasaku Iroha FLESHES its side characters again on getting Takako in the lime light of our attention. She maybe a bitch to us, but she doesn’t do it to displease grandma, and certainly grandma doesn’t seem to convince with her either. Regardless, the series lives up to bring interest, sadly it is not the interest we are looking for.
Are we done with the side character development? I think with 4-6 episodes left, we should be focusing on the matters where it is most important. I share the same guilt feeling ghost lightning has on the torment Minko is experiencing, which is a diving retribution to her bitchy nature. Outside of the pitfalls which we are enduring for the past 7 episode, the show gets interesting, a bit. Sure, we get the mandatory school festival episode, and it showed Nako changing for the better. The men on this episode are a bit of a turn off. I’m starting to have visions that all of them all looked like Ko if taken into basic features. I guess outside the main cast, they don’t have to spend much on these little things.
Happy 23rd Birthday Hanazawa Kana-san!
