Alas, the last of the smut

Junjou Romantica 12! apparently the end! Rumors of episode 12 being the end end have circulated. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. Hope the fans buy enough dvds to fuel another season...or enough fans buy the dvds to spread the uncensored smut. In episode 12 Misaki tries to be on top. *cute* ~8/10 rating~ for an adorable yaoi series that had tasteful edits.



xxxHolic Kei 13! the end...fer real cause they kinda got through everything in the manga. Grandpa-voiced Pikachu is stuck between some fridges. Watanuki gets him out. They all have a get-together. I fell asleep, but I suppose it was cute. This season of xxxHolic was a helluva lot better than the first. Watanuki is an awesome character, but the story-telling still lacks a true depth that CLAMP seems to suggest it should have. So Watanuki has learned to not buy a fridge with black ooze. ~7/10 rating~ for the series. (gotta love the pseudo-Gohou Drug x-over)

Soul Eater 12! A show that could go on for 50 episodes or so. In this episode Medusa furthers her plot. I expected Kid to freak out at Maka and Soul's unsymmetrical apartment, but he didn't.

Kimchi salad in a tofu bowl...like a taco salad

Gourmet 3! Okay, it's not as funny and wacky as Yakitate Japan, but y'know, it's very similar. While Sung Chan tries to correct the wrong at the end of the previous episode (feeding the high profile guest some blech soup), his brother and Min Woo get increasingly jealous. All three chefs have another competition basing their dishes on well, the dish. I'm sensing a pattern here. Simplistically, Bong Joo, the older son, creates dishes with high-class ingredients; Min Woo creates pretty dishes; and Azuma Kazuma/Sung Chan takes simple dishes and refreshes them. They all take a new spin on common Korean dishes which make it interesting to see. Chef Oh now has 2 old buddies to help judge.


Osen 4! forgotten that I watched this. Osen gets an offer to expand her restaurant. Bad-actor-Johnny whose name escapes me is all gung-ho about it until he realizes that the restaurant's taste is dependant upon Osen being there.

And a new jdrama season will start next week; the most interesting hyped ones starring the lovable Johnnys.

Shibatora - Koike Teppei stars as a baby-faced cop trying to be a respected detective.

Code Blue - Yamapi stars as a young doctor-in-training.

Maou - Ohno Satoshi and Ikuta Toma play a lawyer and detective, respectively.

um...Apparently being young and cute will let you play any role whether it sounds right or not.
