From what we’ve seen so far from Mouretsu Pirates, this episode has to be the most underwhelming in terms of actual story. However, you’ll need to let this episode grow in you for you to absorb the nice things it has to offer. Though, I kind of wonder why they kept on exploring the friendships [...]

Mouretsu Pirates 18 – We’ll Have Drinks at the After Party
07/05/2012 – 12:58
If there’s one thing Mouretsu Pirates never fails to do, it would be entertaining with deep stories, premises, and interactions. We witness unfolding of a conspiracy and corruption between different organisations, individuals, and political factions within the galactic empire. We also get more yuri relationships and teasing. Man, when would they give us scenes with [...]
Knight in the Area 17 – Leonardo Silvia
30/04/2012 – 12:46
We meet again, oh Knight in the Area. But rather than bitching about this series, I find it interesting this time around. Perhaps the elements that were left out from the original manga is finally being shown here. It seems that the series is delaying the next battle, which is not yet resolve as of [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 16 & 17
30/04/2012 – 10:00
As of the this writing, I am compiling my thoughts on these two episodes while listening to the part 1 of the soundtrack. For this episode blog, I would be temporarily using my ‘new’ format and method. Narrating two episodes would be a pain and would not be an easy thing to do. These two [...]
Knight in the Area 17: The empty 3 seconds
22/04/2012 – 16:31
These football players. Don’t they have girlfriends to put in their wallets? We finally close the match part. Things were changed compared to the manga. Kakeru didn’t use the mythical feint, he hasn’t mastered it yet in the manga; the psycho doctor plot is also raised and the match ended a bit shallow. At least [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 15 – Smuggling, Leaving Port, and a Leap
16/04/2012 – 16:30
Just like what I expected from episode fourteen, the fifteenth episode is filled with wacky scenes and hilarious events. What appears to authorities as a practice course ended-up as a Pirating Practice for the rest of the yacht club members. Subjectively, I can say this episode is a mixed bag; it’s light-hearted and immersive story [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 14 – Marika Goes Recruiting
08/04/2012 – 17:25
Wow! That was another fun episode, however Chiaki Mouretsu Hanazawa Pirates really needs to up its antics more especially with the deluge of Spring 2012 anime although it still has some powerful cards on its hands. One of them would be the character interactions. The director decided to forgo the romance in favour of an [...]
Knight in the Area 15: Mythical Feint
08/04/2012 – 12:17
I’m running out of things to say here. Kakeru gets frustrated, Honda shows up, and Seven has new team member. Kakeru having problems having a bad poker face and tries to learn the legendary mythical poker face to make balls disappear, IN AN ACTUAL MATCH! What’s hell wrong with him. It’s good the Iwaki-sensei knows when [...]
Knight in the Area 13: Raising the curtains. Inter-high Qualifers
05/04/2012 – 17:32
Virgin boys. They take silly things TOO seriously. Here I am, glad that I won’t be writing this series for a week, as it turns out the subs (or the broadcast) was just delayed for a weird reason. I’m getting tired of writing this series. There isn’t anything to talk about anyway. In this episode, [...]
Mouretsu Pirates 13 – Marika Sends an Invitation
02/04/2012 – 15:00
Unless you’re slow to pick-up pranks, you’d still know that I would not drop Mouretsu Pirates and it’s wonderful story-telling. Recently that I discovered that the director is cutting all romance tones in the script in favour of friendship. If the things building-up are signs, then this has to be an excellent yuri-genre anime when [...]
