Kurozuka 12! the end. There really isn't any conclusion to this anime, but they do clear up the central part of the story. *spoilers* We find out that Kurou's servant was the one chasing them from the time they met Kuromitsu. In the manga, he appears more grotesque than he does in this episode. He is basically horny for Kuromitsu and in his jealously, tried to kill Kurou; thus, interrupting Kurou's transformation. He became immortal from a drop of Kurou's blood that splashed during that time, but continues to age. I don't really get why Kuromitsu distances herself from Kurou each time she replaces his body. The poor guy is stuck with a never-ending chase; I supposed that that is the reason. ~6/10 rating~ for this series. The first episode was very eye-catching, but the animation quality went severely downhill. Madhouse took all the gratuitous violence from the manga and whipped up a mysterious, action-packed, sci-fi thriller. The characters didn't have much personality and the rest of the plot was all jumbled up, but when every other character gets killed off, do you really need to explain anything?

Kids or 20-somethings...

Kids jmovie! is about a boy who can transfer other people's wounds(kizu) onto his own body. You'd think a movie with Tamaki Hiroshi (from Nodame Cantabile), Teppei Koike (from WaT) and Chiaki Kuriyama (from Kill Bill) would be pretty cool. Well, I started watching this a few months ago, but never had the attention span to finish it until now. It's unfavorably on the bland side. Teppei Koike plays Asato, the boy with the supernatural power to transfer wounds. Tamaki Hiroshi plays Takeo, the local punk. Chiaki Kurayama plays Shiho, the scarred cafe girl & Asato's love interest.

Fitting one more in this weekend...

Gundam 00 S2 13! Halfway through the season...the Celestial Being takes down the Memento Mori satellite death ray. Verrry exciiiiting. That's what you get for entrusting a powerful weapon to a character with a really bad haircut. Still find it amusing that with all that fantastical technology and fairy dust, Lockon still aims his gun manually. Okay, I'm also still amused at his name.
