...what are you watching...

Isn't it funny when your past comes back to entertain...like when you see the Transformers movies or see that Thundercats has a new cartoon. Or in the case of anime, Kenshin is coming back with a new live-action drama and new anime...And now, Hunter x Hunter is coming back with a new anime. :)

Tiger and Bunny 17! Uplifting father/daughter episode.

Ao no Exorcist 15! Time for Rin's secret to be revealed to his friends.

Sacred Seven 4! School festival episode..zzz..looks like a beach episode is up next week...zzz.

Actually watched some soccer, and it was exciting. Congrats to both teams.

Catch-up time...


Ikemen desu ne 1! jdrama. The Japanese version of the Korean drama, You're Beautiful, has started with a ~2 hour episode. A young nun, Miko, takes the place of her twin brother, Miho, in a boy band. The Japanese A.N.JELL band members are a few years younger than the Korean one. So far, the story hasn't strayed too far from the original. They did add a concert scene for little school kids in the first episode, but most of the other scenes are very familliar. I'm not really inclined to watch this version of the drama since the actors aren't really 'ikemen' in my book. Jang Geun-seok, Jung Yong-hwa and Lee Hong-ki are hard to top in terms of attractiveness and musicality. The boys in this version are iffy in terms of physical hotness. Maybe some time in the army and braces would help? On the other hand, the actress playing Miko is quite good in her role. She's quite likable, and cute. It's a shame the boys aren't up there in talent.

Kis My Ft2's Everybody Go is the theme song. 2 members of A.N.JELL are part of that boy band. Japanese versions of the Korean songs are featured in the drama, but it's not that great. Lack of pretty vocals might be a problem.

Tiger and Bunny 16! The second half of this series is taking an interesting turn. There's a good twist to Lunatic's backstory. And I like that Barnaby thinks that Kotetsu's actions are for his benefit. Oh, the fanfic fuel.

Ao no Exorcist 14! Training camp for the kids. Bon's competence is refreshing.

Kiss Kiss by Kim Hyun-joong is really adorable, or maybe it's the constant smile he has on; sounds like a Justin Bieber song.

Sacred Seven 2! Some stupid comments about a very entertaining episode:
~ The opening song is really catchy until you get to the end.
~ Arma looks 7 feet tall standing next to the butler
~ Random girl gives rock to random boy and it's love?
~ A high school rock club is where the cool kids are at.
~ Not enough time to use a parachute...funny.
~ The battle was really lame, but the design of the evil alien rock monster was very cool.

Tiger & Bunny 15! was about Sky High's lovelife, and *spoilers* it was actually depressing.

Tiger and Bunny The 2nd half of the series starts with a new opening and ending. This show is crazy clever and cute. I guess the success of the first half has gotten them even more sponsors to place on the heroes' outfits. I'm sure the anime production crew has no worries about the budget at all. The episode itself was an adorable episode featuring Blue Rose crushing on Tiger while they + Barnaby collaborate on a music single. Plotwise, Tiger's powers seem to be changing.

Tiger and Bunny 13! For someone who can read minds, Jake turned out to be a fairly lame bad guy. The arc was unexpectedly all sunshine and daisies like a Disney movie. Oh well, more fuel for the Tiger x Bunny camp in this episode. This show kinda slid downward in the entertainment factor after the first episode. Hopefully, the second half picks up.

Ao no Exorcist 11! a very anti-climactic beach episode. There wasn't even that much cute or comedy to make it worth watching.

Interview with the cast of Ouran Host Club: I have very low expectations for this drama. The actors have to be really good to be able to sell those characters.

Just read the recent chapter of Kuroshitsuji. I'm glad Elizabeth turned out to be more than just the innocent girl obsessed with cute things. Yay for kickass fighter and girl power qualities. Since she is now suitable to be Ciel's fiancee, there goes the most of the BL factor. It's a shame the anime took such bad turn with its storytelling; killing off Ciel. The manga had some pretty good story arcs that the anime never got it.

Tiger and Bunny 12! Jake still holding the city hostage, challenges the Heroes one by one. I was expecting Tiger to do something unexpected, but nope, he gets defeated fairly quickly.

Enjoyed NPH's performance at the Tony Awards.


Ao no Exorcist 9! Predictable, but I still think the show is adorable. I'm waiting for Yukio's jealousy to cause him to go apesh*t or something on his twin. In episode 9, a teacher who reaaaally hates Satan attacks Yukio to get to Rin. Yay for action. All the students pass the previous episode's exam. Next episode features the cute to-be mascot character. And it looks like the principal's brother is also a demon?


Tiger and Bunny 11! The terrorists take control of the city and get their wish fulfilled. The Heroes wait around until they can make a move. High drama. Kenji Fujiwara uses his Ladd Russo (Baccano) voice for the terrorist, Jake.

Tiger and Bunny 10! Bunny remembers his parent's murderer's face in time for Ouroboros to make their move. I was wrong about the judge being a part of the main group of bad guys. It was a good plot-moving episode. I like the fanservicey princess-carry. Did they add more company-sponsored logos to the heroes' outfits? or have I just not been paying attention.

Ao no Exorcist 8! The eye-patch teacher sends more demons to attack Rin and his classmates. The classmates learn to get along with each other. I am amused that the punk student has to recite 21 lines of scripture to defeat the demon. I'm guess that they'll learn more effective and/or faster ways of defeating demons later on.

Ao no Exorcist 7! In a smooth effort to get rid of a filler character, and tie the other two female characters together, the girls encounter friendship trouble plus a random demon. Pretty cute episode.

Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 8-9! Kisa and Yukina's story. Kisa is another shoujo manga editor while Yukina is a shoujo manga sales clerk at a nearby bookstore. It's L.O.V.E. I enjoy Yukina's shoujo eyelashes and sparkles. Oh, just saw that the bunny fairy's name is Tinkle.

Tiger and Bunny 9! features Dragon Kid who babysits the mayor's baby with Tiger and Bunny. There's a yaoi fanfic writing itself in this episode. There's a weird nekid man's butt at the end.

X-Men 8! I have no real idea why this is so boring. Maybe because Hisako is a whiny brat and the other characters don't have much of a personality? It could be the one-liner dialogue. Anyway, dropped.

Anohana 8! Mema finally reveals herself to the other characters by writing a new entry in her diary.

I enjoy the odd humor in FT Island's Hello Hello PV. They've returned to Korean angst pop. Ya.

So watching some random episode of WGM, and noticed that like using a variety of background music from 10-15-ish years ago. Judy and Mary's Jitensha was used a few times. It's such a good summer-y song.

Ao no Exorcist 6! Hilarious filler involving the brothers and their dorm cook. More please!

Tiger and Bunny 8! is about one of the side characters who spouts off Naruto-like lines. One of those learn-a-moral episodes, but entertaining.

X-men 7! Cyclops and Emma Frost flirt. Yes, it's as boring as it sounds.
