Gundam 00 s2 06

No time for a recap, plus im sure there are a billion places to find it. We have an evolution of the brighto slap into the Sergei punch, the Teiria slap, and the annoying guy slap on Sergei. We got a nice taste of Sumeragi's past and we now know she was somewhat responsible for her boyfriends death due to friendly fire. Lets see what else gets revealed. Finally saji is starting to gain some sense and seems to want to fully join CB. We have andrei starting to fall in love with Louise LAWLS. That perfectly sets up Soma to switch sides when next ep seems like the usual island meeting. Looking at updating the match ups, we can guess it will be Saji as polemy gunner vs louise, probably Tieria vs Ali, Bushido vs Setsuna, and Andrei vs Alle. i Still cant see anyone to go up against Lyle yet, and may be doubled up against Ali, or even andrei, as the arios and cherudim are flying close to each other most of the time.


CHARACTER RANKINGS
Teiria + 5 = 0 (finally breaking even)
soma + 8 = 31
Sumeragi + 5 = 30
Andrei - 100 = -95 (Falling for louise just makes you instant fail)
Louise = way too low to be rated. I will only be happy with her character if she dies a slow painful death.

Seems like the girls are closing the gap to Feldt, but even if her ranking isn't top, shes still going to be my favorite girl.

If i find the time, i might pick up chaos;head which looks promising from the first ep.

another maybe is vampire knight. Second season isnt as interesting to me however since i read the manga now and already know whats going to happen. Read more!

Gundam 00 s2 05 Notes

The gundams return the maria to kataron. While Alle wants to remain anonomous, Lyle removes his helmet and saids they should have nothing to hide. Kataron asks CB to join their forces to topple the federation, but sumeragi reminds them that CB's enemy is not the federation, but A-LAWS. As well, without GN drives Kataron forces would be nearly useless. Setsuna asks them also to look after Saji as he is suspected of being a kataron member and has no place to go. Maria meanwhile goes off to play with the children who lost their family to A-laws. Cathy has been placed in charge of the idiot from last episode (cant remember his name) and she asks mr.bushido to join. He however tells her he was given persssion to act as he sees fit. Meanwhile, Soma is talking to Sergei, when Sergei asks about his son. Soma saids hes a hard worker, and Sergei replies its one of the bad traits hes passed on. He feels he spent too much time away from his family and was never a proper father. That prompts Soma to agree to an earlier request to allow Sergei to adopt her. Back at the kataron base, they note their attempt to assimilate CB was a failure, but another member saids that means CB will fight A-LAWS to the end. Setsuna see maria playing with the children again which brings up memories of his own past. Saji asks setsuna if he feels hes responsible for them, and he saids he does, but he has his own reasons for fighting. Maria asks setsuna to take her back to aledistan, but they agree it would be too risky to go in a gundam so they send him off with the jet that setsuna came in. Seji convinces a kataron member to lend him a jeep and he begins his escape. He doesnt get very far and gets picked up by the federation. they accuse him of being a kataron member and begin to rough him up when Sergei saves his ass again. Sergei doesnt believe hes part of kataron, but he does question weather he is a member of CB. One of the other federation members hears this and they begin to plan an assault. Sergei Cathy and some other feel this was too extreme and Sergei sends Seji away. china-tan(dont know her real name) warns CB of the attack, and they begin to head back to defend kataron. Back at kataron, they realize they dont stand a chance and wait for CB, but some have doubts and think CB may have set them up. while the attack goes on, they release the robots to clean up. Bushido however rejects to take part in the attack. CB does arrive, and takes out a few suits, but they are too late. The area is reduced to a slaughter house. saji returns, and blames himself for the incident. After, setsuna and maria arive at aledistan to find it burning to the ground. A single suit is in the middle, piloted by ali al satches

You'll have to forgive me for turning into a pile of mush every time i see felt. Shes becoming increasingly cute with every episode. Major surprise in that Sergei wants to adopt Soma. This raises his pedobear points, but also signifigantly raises his death flag.Setsuna this season is giving off major heero yui vibes. Super lawls at teira's jokes. Hes a lot more likeable this season now that he isnt a pompous ass. i was talking with a friend before i saw this ep. When he said kataron tried to recruit CB, i said they would brush them off for not having gundams. Little did i know i was correct, so major lawl points to sumeragi. At least louise has some heart and was disturbed by the use of the robots. Man, does lyle suck compared to neil. He couldn't even shoot down louise. And... HES BACK.... *awaits epic showdown*

EDIT: i stand corrected. Lyle was shooting at Soma, so thats quite forgivable.

Character rankings
setsuna + 10 = 28
Felt + 5 = 35
Teria + 20 = -5 (ya, i really hated him last season)
Soma + 8 = 23
semeragi + 5 (only for epic prediction on what she said) = 25
arios + 5 = 15 (nice pincer move)
cherudim -5 (for once again failing to do anything as of yet) = 30

P.s. live blogging makes sure i catch everything, but its hard so i doubt ill continue it. ill go back to after blogs again Read more!

Gundam 00 S2 04 Notes

Ya, this is what im going to do now if i want to jot down ideas and am too lazy, or dont have the time for a full post. Notes

Well entertaining ep, still lack of cherudim gundam. It also seems like the new suits can use Trans am rather laxly, so they do seem overpowered, but hey im not a guy to complain about overpowered suits. Total lols at "mr bushido". What a side for graham, and frankly a very ugly mask. No new features with the gundams to discuss and storyline seems pretty average. Only points worth noting were the Feldt kiss and Saji. First we see that Feldt has really changed and seems to be a little more shy about her feelings making her uber cute. We also see that Lyles happy persona may be a facade to help people adjust to the switch. He seems a little more reckless and a little less secure. However it does look like hes forming feelings for the gundam crew (kind of warning feldt while helping himself) making the chance of his defelction a little less. Speaking of deflections, i see Saji switching over and realizing all the crap hes been going on about is becoming undone so he might soon be part of the polomy regulars. Theres also this issue of a bit of the ep comming after the ending so i guess thats one way to make people watch the credits. and sumeragi upped the "hot" factor of this show by 100. Now, my character rankings:

Feldt +5 = 30 (25 from last season)
sumeragi + 10 = 20
Lockon -5 = 5
setsuna + 8 = 18
soma +5 = 15

Interesting side notw. I recently looked up "brave new world" and soma is the name of the drug everyone takes to forget their worries so... hmm. Unlikely however that they took the name from there as soma is also the name of a hindu ritual drink.

P.S. Riven, only Setsuna is awesome enough to steal a naked woman covered in a bed sheet from her boyfriends place (from official manga)

Tomoyo AMV



I had a little time on my hands and felt like making an AMV. due to the fact that Windows wont take MKV files (which is my preferred download file now) as well as the fact that AMVs were harder and more annoying to make than i thought, i most likely wont be making another.

I also uploaded it onto youtube here Here

Ack, i probably wont be publishing any more videos here because of the long upload time. if i do have a video, it'll be uploaded by youtube. Read more!

Clannad 24- Tomoyo Chapter












The much anticipated Tomyo Chapter is finally here! Tomoya wake up one morning to the sound of Tomoyo's voice. Tomoya tell her to let him sleep in, but Tomoyo insist as his girlfriend that its her job to make sure he gets to school on time. Tomoya jokingly tells her they should break up, which upsets Tomoyo. Later at school, when we find out in this world the two have been dating for a few months, Tomoyo wins the school election. However trouble soon starts as Tomoyo is reprimanded for using the schools PA system to give a message to Tomoya. While nothing comes directly from this incident, people are starting to wonder is Tomoya is a bad influence on her. As Tomoyo works to save the sakura trees she's busier then ever and finding it hard to spend any time with Tomoya. At the school festival Tomoyo sneeks out in her bear costume to meet with Tomoya. As they are about to share a kiss, they are interrupted by the vice-president. After she leaves, the vice-presedent tells him that he can only harm and hold back Tomoya. These words, combines with rumors about the two's relationship and the fact that a curcial person to saving the sakura trees finally gets to him. He realizes that Tomoyo will never succeed if they are together so while they are out. Tomoya tells her they should break up. Tomoyo once again, with a little more anxiety tells Tomoya not to joke about things like that, but this time he isn't joking. He tells her that together he'll only hold her back and she has much higher places to go and better things to do. When she refuses despite all that and saying how lost he would be without her, he tells her that he never loved her. He saids that it never meant anything and instead she should succeed, so he can brag about how he once dated a great girl. Tomoyo, defeated, saids thanks for dating a girl like her. when she leaves, Tomoya take a bite out of his crape, and tries to hold back tears. Afterwards Tomoyo is now doing great, and well respected everywhere. While watching a tape of a speech she gave, Sunohara remarks how he knew such a great girl. Meanwhile, Tomoya has gotten his act together. He's studing and attending class. While his grades are not very high, he manages to find a job at a bike shop in town. Fast foreword to the end of the semester and we see Tomoya walking in the snow where he runs into Tomoyo. She saids shes there to mention that she managed to save the trees, but in return lost something valuable, something that cant be replaced. She lost 8 months with Tomoya and tells him that no matter what she wants to be with him. At this time, we see a roadblock in another time and place move up. Tomoya is now emotional and saids she has much higher places to go. Tomoyo interrupts and saids that Tomoya brings her to a much higher place. She decides to stay in town to be with him. the two begin to cry and share a loving embrace. We see the road now open to Tomoya, with Tomoyo waiting on the other side with a bento in her hand.

Thats was beyond amazing. Absolutely touching. And it also came as a surprise that they ended up together because spoilers of the game told me otherwise. Anyways it was very lovely. The only downside, the animation went down the drain. The quality was horrible and with the exception of the snow scene was blocky. But my Tomoyo bias makes this my favorite episode of the season.
