Death Note

 

Still one of my favorite pilot episodes to any anime I've ever seen. It's crazy to see how quickly Light goes from curious kid to evil overlord. Ryuk! Best shinigami ever lol!

 

Overall Rating: 88/100

 

Samurai Champloo

 

Awesome! Mugen and Jin work perfectly together. Their little brawl was great. Fuu running with the fireworks in her robe was hilarious.

Why is E7 the only show not starting from its beginning?

I was already watching it when I decided to do this. With it being 50 episodes, I decided against starting it over again.

Okay. Roger is pimping lol. This has probably been said a million times, but is this Japanese Batman?

Really cool start to this one. Alucard is insanely awesome. I wonder if they'll ever expand on his relationship with Seras.

Yes, the comparison of Roger to Batman has been made numerous times. However, Batman seldom does his day-saving in a suit, so Roger has a slight edge in style there.

Wolf's Rain: Episode 1

 

Not too bad although I was expecting a little more from the episode. Tsume is cool and Hige seems a little goofy, but other than that, no one really seems all that interesting yet.

 

Overall Rating: 79/100

 

 

 

Moribito: Episode 1

 

Bleh. I don't know what it is but about this one, but all the VA's just seem bored in their lines. The music and art is really beautiful but the story seems really boring. I hope this one picks up.

Code Geass: Episode 1

 

Oh boy, this one seems like it's going to be riddled with fanservice. Not that I oppose fanservice outright, but I think there's gotta be some relevance at times. It appears as if Lelouch is gonna end up with a god complex. I have a good feeling about this one although I didnt care too much for this episode.

 

Overall Rating: 72/100

 

 

Bleach: Episode 1

 

I've seen these episodes a million times, but the first couple I never really liked. I know I'll get bashed but I really hate Rukia lol.

That something that strikes me about Lulu. If the person who stumbled upon C.C. there had been pretty much anyone else we had met in the episode, the series would have been drastically different due to their personalities and ambitions. Perhaps the series wouldn't have happened at all had anyone but Lulu found her, so of course the writer put just the right person in the situation. Still, that kind of thing isn't exactly rare in fiction, so no surprise there.

I always wondered what it'd be like if Suzaku found her.

Since it was by-the-book, early series Suzaku who would have found her, it probably would have been something boring like turning her in.

Of course, had he done so, he likely would have been considered an expendable person in the interest of keeping the secret of C.C., so his death probably would have been ordered like Lulu's was. I don't think Suzaku would have readily accepted that outcome, but he would have been shocked by it and have tried to protest and reason his way out of it, resulting in him being shot, despite his best efforts to evade the bullets.

Super late. Sorry!

 

 

Eureka Seven: episode 41

 

E7 was moderately good for the first half of the series, but it's really starting to get good. It's neat to finally learn all the stuff behind why the characters behaved the way they did. Can't wait to see how this one wraps up.

 

Overall Rating: 80/100

 

Trinity Blood: episode 1

 

Awesome first episode! Abel's reveal that he's a Crusnik (sp?) makes him way more badass than I thought he was going to be. Tres is cool as hell although I'm not sure exactly what he is.....android? Anyway, this one looks promising.

Blue Gender: episode 1

 

Eh not so promising with this one. Yuji seems like a bitch and none of the other characters seem very interesting. The basis for the show is cool but I wonder if they're going to be able to translate it.

Yes, early series Yugi is very much a wimp. I don't blame him for flipping out in the first episode, though. I think it would be highly likely for anyone in that situation to have a similar reaction.

I definitely got the Desperado reference in this one. That was crazy when she killed her own boyfriend at the end. I like the relationship between Jet and Spike.

Eureka Seven: episode 42

 

A little bit of a step in the wrong direction with this one. Dewey is such an ass and I can't wait until Dominic and Anemone meet their end. They're sort of annoying.

Death Note: episode 2

 

A big drop-off from last week. It's the second episode and it already seems like Light is a mass murderer. Nice trick there by L though. That diabetic crackhead is so smart! :smileyvery-happy:

 

 

Samurai Champloo: episode 2

 

Kick ass episode. The fights were amazing. Mugen getting duped and then getting his ass kicked by the big ogre-like dude was such a great scene. He shows no mercy though when he puts the dude out of his misery.

Big O: episode 2

 

Wow, this one took a dump quick. I really don't care for Dorothy and this episode stunk for how early on in the series they played it. It might have made a little more sense later on in the series, but the way it's going, I'm not holding out all that much hope for BIG O. BIG O. BIG OoOoO.

 

Overall Rating: 69/100

 

 

Hellsing: episode 2

 

Phew, this one saved my Tuesday. I think I said it last week, but Alucard is such a beast. I think the inner struggle Seras is going through in realizing that her former life is over and how she must adapt to being a vampire. Really cool episode.

Code Geass: episode 2

 

Exciting episode. Suzaku is a beast in the Lancelot. It's no surprise that nobody was able to keep up with him. I can't wait to see what the rebels answer to his Knightmare will be. I like the unknowing rivalry forming between best friends. It'll be crazy to see how it plays out. Much better bounce back from last week.

Not an entirely thrilling episode, but I like the character development with Ichigo and Rukia. It's going to be great once this really starts to pick up.

Eureka Seven: episode 43

 

 

This DominicxAnemone thing really doesn't sit with me for some reason. Just seems weird.....anyway this series is coming to a close but it seems to be wrapping things up kinda slowly. I have a good feeling that it will end on an up note but right now, it just seems to be taking forever to get to it.

Trinity Blood: episode 2

 

 

Another exciting episode. Abel's emotions seemed to get in the way, which is probably going to get him in trouble in the future. Even though Tres is like a robot, he is still so badass, lying about being out of ammo before shooting the leader.

I preferred the relationship dynamic between Anemone and Dominic to that between Eureka and Renton, but I will admit that the one for Anemone and Dominic was the more strained one throughout most of the series. The horrible experimentation in the past and involuntary drug use during the show which Anemone suffered probably had something to do with that.

Yes, Tres was very cool with his, "ha, you fell for it. Sucker" moment. Although, it is somewhat disconcerting that the Vatican even made an android with something called a Genocide Mode.

As for Light seeming like a mass-murderer to you in episode 2, I got that impression in the first episode when he had pages and pages of names to show Ryuk.
