To those of you haven’t watched Inu X Boku SS, here’s some lame effort from me to convince you on watching it, it’s one of the surprises and hidden treasures of this season. At first glance, you wouldn’t be sure if Inu x Boku SS really has the potential to be a great anime. The animation is honestly not convincing, but the audio is topnotch. Now if you wonder, what is the trick here in series that makes it good? Read on as I discuss why… SPOILER WARNING: Succeeding paragraphs may contain unintended or inexcusable spoilers.

Another continues to blow my mind with it’s Horror-Mystery done right. It’s a nice proper mix of the genres, direction, and writing that gives a nice thrilling product. It’s also the most consistent of all the currently-airing series in terms of Audio-Visual presentation. Mouretsu Pirates is slowly losing it’s consistency — visual presentation-wise, that is. I’ve read the manga adaptation recently, and I can say the anime adaptation excellently adapts the main idea of the story.

Finding something to say. Finding something to say … Well, there’s nothing to say new since the old one. Nothing to nag about since it’s a nice development episode of Natsume and Tanuma. Rather, I find the bromance suit my tastebuds. But that’s merely my fanboy talking. But I like the image above if you take the context out of the window and judge by the picture. Ah … why I can’t find any doujin of these in the net.

Did he underwent some kind of weight loss surgery here? I don’t think you can loose all that weight for such a short amount of time. Or is he hiding a pillow in his stomach. Either way, it’s forced drama.

And in a delightful display of child abuse, Hunter x Hunter just showed how old works are made classics. If you hadn’t felt the frustration of everyone being driven to the point of fury, then it means that you don’t have a soul! You can’t see this violence that is meaningful, which isn’t just about making you cringe in the utter gore it brings.

Oh AnoNatsu, I thank thee. I thank thee for the most difficult and challenging Thought Digest article to write. I thank thee for making me go nuts. I thank thee for being inconsistently fluctuating from lame to just very good. I thank thee for giving me courage to (re)watch Guilty Crown and Starry Sky which entertained me more… I thank thee for decreasing my watchlist by one series… WAIT… WAIT… WAIT… Am I ranting again there? Please don’t mind my comments up there for I tend to commit some logical fallacies whenever I rant because of total and utter disappointment. Is it because I’m already full with romance anime? The latter case here is probably the reason why, and my decision to put this series on-hold is a logical one.

I finally got to finish a route in this damn game! It only took me hours of attention, weeks of neglect. Visual Novels aren’t my speciality, specially if it lacks any shota or yaoi content in it. At least I got bespectacled Kenji here in a naked illustration which also give me this raging question: Shouldn’t that cover in his nether region be a four-leaf instead of three?

If we are going for the one-shot stories, then anything that involves Natsume’s past is very much welcome. Even if it’s becoming repetitive, his past is a good way to get further closer to him. Comparing the past vs the present is one thing to gauge how far the character’s have gone, and how things were used to. Here they took the similar formula but tweak it to be more in a bitter-sweet end. I like the scene above since I sort of felt what she felt being the only person who see’s him beyond the weird. She would had been a nice girlfriend.

Ain’t Gon cute? Seeing the latest chapter of Hunter X Hunter, who wouldn’t want to see this face again in the manga. I like this episode, even if it’s a bit slow. That hesitation on his answer if he got his tag should be a give away that he didn’t have them. Kurapika and Lerio knew that something’s up, but chose not to meddle further. I like how things just turn without saying anything, and if those body language get to you, then you are paying attention and certainly you like this series.

Even though the fourth episode would be aired this upcoming Tuesday, I would still be writing about my thoughts on Another‘s first three episodes. The recently-concluded third epside provoked me to planning for Thought Digests in three parts before I make a final review of this series. This article may not be fit to be under In-Review, though. The title says it all, it’s a shock-and-awe experience that’s very well suited for the Horror genre, and that’s one of the reasons why I love this show. It’s currently competing with Mouretsu Pirates for the top spot on my list. SPOILER WARNING: The succeeding paragraphs may contain unintended or inexcusable spoilers
