Jormungand 03, 04

I ship this :P

Koko is a pedobear ᶘ ᵒᴥᵒᶅ  But that's cool.  Koko is loco :)

Sorry for being late, but I am kinda in the middle of finals . . . wah D':  Only one more week of this and then school is over and I can finally watch anime in peace!  Anyway, don't you all get tired of Jormungand?  No!  What kind of question is that Cely? geez.  How could one possibly get tired of the anime after hearing that awesome OP.  I will just post it hear for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, that OP.  Isn't it great and awesome?  I know.  Listen to it all day if you must.  It will just keep getting more awesome.  As for the story and plot . . . well I'm really digging the action and those villains.  Like that panty-less girl Chinatsu and her boss.  Their assassin name is pretty symphonic too.  Orchestra.  Sound of bullets are music to their ears.  Well, we all figured they were a bit cuckoo, no?

The action was there.  It bothers me that no one gets wounded though.  Not the main characters at least. What are they, Saiyans?  And who is this Lutz guy?  He has a weakness for little girls apparently, that lolicon. I am curious about him.  He's pretty hot.  It was a good thing he didn't shoot Chinatsu.  Heh, it's not like she would have been taken down.  Did you see that escape? :O That was when Koko found out she was wearing no panties lol.

Panties have been confirmed . . . I repeat - panties have been confirmed.

Koko is so funny.  She worries about the silliest things and has no common sense for her safety. She has obviously been relying way too much on that team of hers.  There was a scene in episode 4 where she froze and  realized she was standing defenseless with no one around to protect her. But then she spotted Jonah and felt immediate relief.  That was cute.  It seems our dear Koko is human afterall.  And man, she just keeps getting bitch slapped by men.  Those bastards!  One thing that was pretty ragey was Chinatsu's death.  She would have made a great asset to the team. Must have been something Koko said to her.  Just what did she say to her hmm??

On a more serious note, Jormungand has given me a lot to think about.  "Modern day saints carry assault rifles and spread the word of God with their bullets."  Pretty nice dialogue, no?  It is an anime that is quite controversial and not afraid to aggregate it.  For one, Jonah is a controversy in itself.  Child soldiers exist! What?  Yes folks.  Harsh realities of the world.  Gotta love anime for being real with us.  You wouldn't normally find controversy in your average American cartoon now, would you?  I myself am pretty oblivious to these things.  It is nice to be reminded of them.  I don't want to totally forget about reality :P  Speaking of which, have you seen this video??>>>link.  LOL pretty funny, yeah?

Well, that's it for today.  It's back to studying for me.  We do get more character development from Jonah, but I'll leave that for another post.  Really looking forward to Koko's development though. OOoOOoHHH. Hope they decide to fill us in on Koko soon and not wait until its next season.  That would suck.

A Batch of First Impressions: Spring 2012 - Part 1

Yo!  There were plenty of series I had yet to cover and I didn't want to make each individual post, so I decided to dump them all here . . . yea.  Here are my very subjective first impressions~ enjoy!

In alphabetical order: [Accel World, Eureka Seven AO, Jormungand, Kuroko no Basket, Medaka Box, Natsuiro Kiseki, Nazo no Kanojo X]  Part 2 is underway!

Accel World:

Episodes in: 3

Set in the year 2046, technology plays a big role in this anime.  It's all about virtual world's and hanging out in Skyrim type settings because that's where the all the cool people hang out. However, the story is about Haru, a social outcast, who ends up getting involved with the most popular girl in school.  So far, there is no indication of any serious romance.  If there is, I'm not feeling it.  I find the characters pretty dull and boring, but I enjoy the sci-fi and mecha and a bishie named Takumu, although, that's as far as my fruition goes.  But because I am so positive(I really am) I refuse to think that 3 episodes justifies me dropping a 24 episodes series, so I will keep watching.

Eureka Seven AO:

Episodes in: 2

No need to brief you in on this one, do I?  Funny thing is, I haven't watched the prequel of this series.  I read so many reviews with praise and eeps of nostalgic moments, so my curiosity got the best of me.  I can see how this series can initiate nostalgia(judging from the pic above).  Although it feels like I'm cheating, so I'm probably gonna go back(into time) and watch E7 and then continue where I left off . . . OR I can watch both at the same time ;)  I don't know, I really like the mecha and the Stereopony ED - ugh I'll just watch Eureka Seven over the weekend.

Jormungand:

Episodes in: 2

Her name is Koko, she is loco . . . I said oh no!  Can you believe I initially thought she was a man?(oh no!) I blame the animation for being so unique!  As for the plot, it follows Koko, a young arms dealer, and Jonah, an emotionless child soldier, who joins Koko and her crew's escapades around the world.  Not something that I would generally watch, but there was not enough action in my watchlist, so I decided to pick this up.  By the second episode, I went totally lesbian for Koko(much like Valmer XP).  I can see why so many follow her.  She's evil . . . in a charming way.

Kuroko no Basket:

Episodes in: 3

One word: bromance ;)  Two words: fan art!  And then 93 words after that: Not so big on sports, but pretty big on bishies, so hell yeah I'm watching this.  The anime is about Kuroko and Kagami - with a hint of mystery(it's not yaoi, okay?).  Kagami plans to be the best basketball player in Japan, however, without Kuroko's help he can only be really good at it.  Doesn't really excite me, but okay. Although, character interaction is really good, voice acting is great and artwork is fantastic - the plot doesn't really appeal to me.  But I'd be crazy to pass up all this fan service.

Medaka Box:

Episodes in: 3

Just like the title reads: Medaka Box . . . or Medaka's Box.  MEDAKA'S FUCKEN BOX!!  Yes it is an anime about a girl named Medaka and her box . . . and her sexy bishie friend - he's just not as important because he's not in the title.  As the Student Council President, she has dedicated her life to the school 24/7 for 365 days.  Any request a student may have goes in the box to be solved by the Student Council. At the momment, Hitoyoshi is the only other member, but I think I'll stick around to see her new recruits until the day her garden of flowers is complete.  Overall, I find the anime pretty funny.  There are many things about Medaka that defies logic, but that makes it all the more enjoyable :)

Natsuiro Kiseki:

Episodes in: 3

Natsuiro Kiseki was one I was initially looking forward to.  With little to no info, the series showed signs along the lines of K-On! and Tamayura, however, with a supernatural twist.  I was about to drop the series throughout the first episode because I found it pretty slow and boring, but its execution was enough to keep me interested.  It wasn't until the second episode that it managed to reel in many viewers(me included).  It was unexpectedly funny and heartwarming.  This is definitely one I will keep looking forward to every week.  And is it just me or is there a lot of Yuri this season?  To name a few: Natsuiro Kiseki, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san . . . Jormungand lol.

Nazo no Kanojo X:

Episodes in: 3

For an anime about romance, it is very unique.  For an anime that looks like it's set in the 90's, it is very beautifully animated.  And for an anime about saliva . . . well, this is a first.  For starters, the anime derives from a manga and it is about a boy who impulsively tastes a girl's drool and becomes hooked on it.  How that works, I don't know.  All I know is that it was incredibly awkward to watch and I found myself giggling throughout.  Their romance does center around drool, but it does not miss a beat to progress their relationship.  I am hooked on drool this anime ;)
