Detective Conan challenge update #2



  I've made my way to Volume 10 and on a chapter that seems vaguely familiar. If I'm not mistaken I've seen this one in the dubbed anime that used to air on Adult Swim. Shinichi is going to temporarily get his body back, and solve the case because of the liquor that he drank. Tho I forgot entirely how the whole closed room murder was set up. It's been a while.

Freezing Review



I just want to start by saying if you saw the cover art for this anime and thought "Yay boobs!" F*** you! F*** you twice! This is a mature anime that deals with mature topics and themes, and if you're just some immature brat looking for boobs, look elsewhere, because this one deserves so much more respect than that. Now that we have that out of the way, on to the review.

    Freezing revolves around the lives of both Satellizer el Bridgette and Aoi Kazuya.  Satella is a pandora, a girl that's been implanted with stigmata  to do battle against alien invaders. For as long as anyone can remember, she has been cold, anti-social, and above all else she hated to be touched, giving her the nickname Untouchable Queen. In the opening episode, Kazuya mistakes Satella as his deceased sister, and hugs her mid battle, causing her to lose a battle against another pandora and lose her #1 ranking amongst her peers. This leads to an awkward relationship between Kazuya and Satella, in which Kazuya becomes closer to her and learns what makes her behave the way she does, as his fellow classmates ridicule and badmouth her behind her back. Even when other pandoras start a fight, the other students run off and tell a professor that it was Satella's fault.

  As the story progresses, it is revealed that Satella had a troubled pass, forced to stay with a family that hates her and her mother, and that she was molested by a younger sibling, thus resulting in her hating to be touched by anyone. Kazuya also finds out that she has a lot of stigmata from his sister embedded in her, which leads her to believe that he only wants her as his partner to be a replacement for his sister. I won't give a spoiler saying how it all ends, but it is quite an enjoyable anime, and though the fanservice is heavy sometimes, its usually done in a manner where you aren't excited to see breasts, you're upset that they're doing these things to Satella instead. Again, this anime is for the mature viewer. I highly recommend it, but don't waste time with the stupid OVAs. They're only 3 minutes each and a waste of time. they don't really fit the mood and style of the rest of the anime. If you're 17 or older and mature enough to handle it, definitely watch this anime. Its only 12 episodes long, so what's your excuse?

Freezing preview




  Yea, from the concept art alone, I can tell this one is going to be heavy on the fanservice. For those who were fans of E-stranged in the earlier day, you may remember this as the controversial anime that was on the anime theatre. It wasn't pre-screened, so our Vice President was unaware that it showed nudity. However, I am back to watch the whole series today and see how it is. From the little that I've seen already, it's definitely better than other fanservice heavy action anime such as Queen's Blade. This one actually has a story I care about. I'll be sure to post a full review as soon as I'[m done with the entire series.

Highly unlikely Anime Crossovers

Most people like to talk about anime crossovers that make sense, but where is the fun in that? I like talking about crap that you know is too stupid to happen, but would be epic funny if it did. Unlikely combinations like Keroro gets into a fight with Naruto and Traflgar Law gets involved, thus upsetting the gods, so Pandora comes down to kill them all resulting in Goku having to save the day.

Surely I'm not the only person who thinks of such crazy nonsense. I also think of non fight related crossovers, such as School Rumble's Imadori meets up with Naruto's Tsunade. I don't think Imadori could handle a pair of knockers that big lol.  Shinichi Kudo from Detective Conan showing up on Haruhi Suzumiya and uncovering the mysteries that surround Haruhi. I think anime producers need to get creative and give us some crossover specails that are completely non-cannon and hilarious as heck. It'll have us fans laughing and talking about it for years to come.

update on my Detective Conan Status


 Well, I'm waaaay behind my schedule but I'm at least on Volume 5 in my Detective Conan challenge. I vaguely remember watching this one on Adult Swim back in High School, and I think I remember how this one went. Pretty sure it's the fat guy.

Fruits Basket should have a 2nd season

Its rare that I say that an anime should have a second season. Normally with anime, I have the "take it as it is" approach. However, fruits basket is a great anime that I feel ended too abruptly. I feel like it should have expanded on Kyo's Mewto-looking transformation, or at least make peace within the family. There have never been so many loose ends at the end of an anime. I know its too late for a sequel but a guy can dream can't he?

Perfume performing Live


Not exactly anime, but it gets stuck in my head. I love the music to this song.

Random funny School Rumble scene


LOL if you listen closely, you can hear the ghost of Michael Jackson.
