First Impression: Valvrave the Liberator

Posted on May 20, 2013 by John

Try to pronounce Valvrave in Japanese > barubureibu… some sort of tongue twister

It’s been quite a while since I last had a new mecha series in my watchlist. This season we have Valvrave the Liberator which seems quite promising.

Not sure if this is another overbudget commercial for Bandai’s upcoming product or a hidden gem.

First Impression: Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai 2

Posted on May 8, 2013 by John

Just finished the first 2 episodes of Oreimo season 2 and they’re great and entertaining. First season of Oreimo caught my attention being an anime about Otaku girls and imouto stuff, to be frank, after completing it, I’m very sure that Kuroneko is the main reason I continue watching Oreimo S2. Nope, I’m not saying the other aspects are not up to my expectation or what, just that Kuroneko being superior than the former. By the way, last season was left off with a cliff-hanger where Kuroneko kisses Kyousuke and left without much explanation. Looking forward for more interaction between Kuroneko and Kyousuke.

First Impression: Over Drive

Posted on February 4, 2013 by John

I remember that time I just got into cycling, naturally one would look for anything related to his hobby and I stumbled across this anime. It received good reviews which was written back in 2008 on MyAnimeList. I remember I had the complete series ready since 3 years ago, however I kept it on hold since then for unknown reason.

Gundam AGE episode 29 – Third Gen already?

Posted on January 24, 2013 by John

It’s 29th episode throughout the 49 episodes series, and we’re now into third generation (Kio Asuno) already.

The first generation (Flit Asuno) storyline was okay, but second generation (Asemu Asuno) sucks balls to the max. Everything seems packed and rushed, not to mention how ridiculous Asemu’s Super Pilot skill that comes from nowhere.

20 episodes left, let see if I manage to survive this series or not.

Chuunibyou Episode 02 – Flashy Battle Scene

Posted on October 23, 2012 by John

Nibutani Shinka is super gorgeous. Please shoot me too!!

In the first impression post, I mentioned that this series has an awkward story. To be frank, maybe it’s poking right at my own chuunibyou, and I’m such a loser for not admitting it.

After watching the second episode, I don’t know what enlightened me, probably Shinka-chan. Whatever it is, I came to realize one thing – Who cares about all that embarrassing shit? I’m gonna enjoy this show.
