back from a quickie trip

mmm...traveling is fun, airports are not fun. catching up on anime is fun.

Naruto: Shippuden 133! picking this up again since yeah, the twelve-year-old in me wants to see the cool battles coming up. In this episode *spoilers* Jiraiya fights his last fight. ~depressing. If you want to restart this, you'd better start a couple episodes before this for Pain's past. They are getting closer to Sasuke and Itachi's last fight, too.

Darker than Black - Ryuusei no Gemini 4! Hei, Suou and July reach Tokyo. Hei trains Suou. This includes smile-training, belly-dancing...and the usual shoot the birdies training. Hei's new personality is interesting. Misaki joins...that organization whose motives are unclear. Misaki is probably there so Hei doesn't look too much like a pedobear.

Inuyasha: The Final Act 4! Sword-envy continues as Inuyasha gets a power-up and attempts to fight Mouryoumaru.

Kimi ni Todoke 4! I do like the slight attempt at avoiding the misunderstanding, but all for naught. Cute stuff anyways.

I think the effectiveness of Misaki as a mitigant for Hei being a creeper is diminished by the kissing ninja contractor calling her "sexually frigid." Not that I disagree with your assessment.

As a fangirl, Misaki was always that character that I wish they'd just replace since her entertainment value is na da. As a pretend fanboy, I can almost see her value. Did we see her in her non-cop (hair down/no glasses) mode last season? My memories of what she did last season are fuzzy. :)

Well, there's a lot of fanservice of her in the manga--fully clothed, but her boobs are definitely a lot bigger than in the anime.

I don't know, I like her as a character, because she seems to be a pretty accurate representation of a career woman with convictions and inconvenient emotions. It's struck me recently how full of (strong) women DTB is, and I wouldn't want her to be different, or a man.

P.S. Nice icon.
