Ookami-san – 10
About freaking time the show tackles Ryoushi’s phobia with Saburou training him out of nowhere. Though I do suspect he’s not exactly on the good guys’ side as you can’t trust a dude wearing a Robin Hood hat you know? Not to mention he has spied on Ryoushi since the start of the show. I totally thought Saburou was a tom-boyish girl by the way for like one second, curse you Japan and your ambiguous character designs. He is a dude right? Oh dear …
One Piece – 464
Poor Oars Jr., he received a beating like no other as he tanked a whole barrage of devastating attacks from the Warlords. Glad to see some back-story squeezed in to go over the relationship between Ace and him, even if as simple as crafting a mere hat that helped flourish a friendship such as theirs. Really though, was more shocked almost no one helped Oars besides some no-name underlings. Even Whitebeard knew he was marching towards his death, so I don’t see the point in sacrificing someone as useful as Oars to gain much of nothing in the process. Were there no other high-level pirates available to help him?
Highschool of the Dead – 09
Separated from the rest of the group, Takashi and Saeko must fend for themselves through the night till they can make their way toward safe refuge at Takagi’s mansion.
Thus far Saeko has played a somewhat stereotypical character, though her innocent dialogue at times a strong contrast to the disciplined and matured attitude she predominately presents. Underneath all of it though a dark secret has resurfaced to haunt her again.
Ookami-san – 09
Hinted back in episode six as the problem she has run away from, the story finally delves into Ringo’s dilemma. With much disappointment, it’s nowhere as compelling as Ryouko’s situation since well, Ringo did nothing to cause it, besides being born I suppose. I do understand Ringo’s guilt for her mother’s actions in which she partially blames herself, as she must feel terrible in kicking her half-sister out of the mansion and separating a daughter from her father.
Naruto Shippuden – 175
The fight has been won and all the casualties of the battle have been brought back to life. Though I could have done without the flashbacks in exchange for some real content, this episode was a good ending to this fantastic arc.
Purgatory seems to exist in the magical world of Naruto Shippuden as Kakashi and his father were able to settle their issues while they had the opportunity. In doing so, both were finally able to move on.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty – Review
Reviews of Starcraft 2 usually begin by delving into its rich history, about how it’s a game of 12 years coming, and how the original Starcraft is Korea’s national past-time (okay it’s not but it’s really huge if you read up on it) but in the end all you care about is if Starcraft 2 is any good. If you’re not one of the 1.5 million people who purchased the game within its first two days of release, what are you waiting for?
Highschool of the Dead – 08
I’ll just spare myself and not bother over-analyzing why our fearsome heroes simply did not slip through the wire security fence with its gigantic holes in its mesh pattern. As the zombies are too stupid to bend to slip through themselves, this could have ended the episode in a jiffy. The animators didn’t give much forethought into drawing it I suppose. Maybe it was electrified … just maybe? If it can stop a Humvee, that’s some wicked security fencing they use in Japan and I’ll just assume it’s the most bad-ass and most impregnable security fence in the world … unless you happen to have a ladder.
