First Impressions - Rosario + Vampire


kappuchu~!

[Overall Impressions]

After watching this, all I can say that it looks like a cross of Zero no Tsukaima’ cute fanservice and Tenjou Tenge/Ikkitousen’s action plus fanservice to me.

Yes, I said fanservice twice. Why? Because if I took screenshots of all the pantsu shots and posted it here, your finger would probably hurt from the scrolling.

A mix of Potato, Mayonnaise, and Fluffyness!

After reading Orion’s post for the second day of christmas about Potemayo and seeing those screencaps of Guchuko scything a door in half and then taping it back together, I was convinced on watching this. Who knew that I had past such a great anime? This was too adorable for words.

Ghost Hound - 01

Impression
It’s finally here. In the beginning, I wasn’t gonna watch this series. But when all the hype about it from other bloggers, I felt that I needed to watch it too. It has a unique plot. This gave me a strange vibe when I was watching it. The opening really fit it well. Too well I think. The ending gave this anime a kinda sad and happy feeling. It feels as though something bad will happen, but it will lead to something good. I found out that there isn’t gonna one main character, but actually three. They all had traumatic encounters in their childhood. And this so called “Unseen World” peaked up my curiosity. I bet this anime will become really popular. I didn’t find anything bad about it. The next episode is called E.M.D.R. which is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I don’t know what that means, but something about dreams and the world that dreams create.

Shugo Chara! - 01

Shugo Chara is a story about Hinamori Amu, who is known to be cool and stylish but is actually a girl on the inside. Her life changes magically with the birth of the Character Gurdians (Shugo Chara), who gives her the power to change to her another self.

As this is my first review on an anime episode, I might miss on certain details and whatsoever. But nevertheless, I hope you would enjoy my upcoming reviews on the rest of the episodes of Shugo Chara!

Kimikiss - Slight Hint of Rouge

Darkshaunz samples this “Pure” Rouge

In collaboration with Retsgip anime blog

There was no Bleach this week, but I didn’t realize it. I was too busy refreshing Tokyo Toshokan like some deranged hermit about to get laid for the first time (alas, no cake). So you know what this means folks, Hard-drive roulette time. I decided that I was looking for the title which sounded like it would involve an engaging and unique storyline, “Kimikiss-Pure Rouge” sounded like a winner, only because I’ve never seen an anime title like that before. It’s safe to say that the only thing unique about this series so far is its title.

Suteki Tantei Labyrinth First Impression

Impression
I thought this was just gonna be one of those detective shows, but it turn out to something totally different from what I thought. This is one interesting episode where a lot of questions need to be answer. For example, what is this so call path that leads to god? This reminded me a lot of Matantei Loki Ragnarok. I will still be watching this anime, but not blogging.

Gundam00 First Impressions

The Gs are back!

This episode began by showing us a boy struggling against hordes of mobile suits which were apparently killing everything that moves. All these while the suits were chanting:
“We are fighting for god. We destroy all who do not follow tradition.”

CLANNAD - 01

CLANNAD’s finally here and began its first episode in 4:3 format, it began the way how the game was, exactly. The music, the phrases and the emotions involved. It met my expectations and indeed, I fell in love with the fluidity of the animations. Quality-wise, it is definitely top-notch. Most importantly, like the predecessors for Key game conversions, Kyoto Animation uses the original in-game music for the anime which is definitely love for Key fans. I wouldn’t touch on the OP and ED as most of you would have heard of it. Dango ED is definitely love.

With 2 popular seiyuu in this show - Mizuki Nana and Kawasumi Ayako, each voicing Mizuki and Shizuru (the 2 sisters in the show) respectively, this show is definitely looking good. While those expecting some brilliant animation quality (Clannad style or whatever) will be disappointed, the story and most importantly, the music, makes up for the average animation quality. The first episode definitely has a solid start, giving a good foundation towards the story. Madhouse studios is behind this production and places very heavy emphasis on the 2 sisters and their close bond and also the lush scenery in the anime. Supernatural is part of the story’s genre but definitely it is not the main theme.

The OP and ED’s rock solid as well, Kosaka Riya’s Kokoro no Ato simply blows, I was expecting a boring song but I was terribly wrong. (*bows*).

oOgA’s rating: 8.5 / 10
