Retsgip’s Anime Blog

My blogs are going to be slow for the next few days, and I apologize to anyone who waits for them (like anyone actually reads this stuff, psh). I’m at my parent’s house, taking my roommate around California to experience the tourism scene till wed. next week.

Not only that, but we only have wireless Internet in this house (since my dad’s a crazy mofo), and my downloads go really slow. It probably doesn’t help that it’s dish Internet since their house is 100 feet too far to fall within the cable Internet radius.

And to put the frosting on the cake, my laptop’s keyboard has a habit of not working now and then and it forces me to be computer-less. When these power combine, they form CAPTAIN MISERABLE!

I’ll do my best, sorry in advance.

Naruto - 198 - ANBU’s Hopelessness! Naruto’s Memory!

Rating: 7/10

While I think this was a somewhat boring episode, I still enjoyed some of it and appreciated the fact that they’re trying to make a “real” filler story. I’m a little hesitant to get into the story though, because I have a very strange feeling it’s going to end in a retarded manner.

Darkshaunz conjures a Love Potion…
Score: 8.0/10

Hey guys, thanks for joining me this week as I cover the latest installment of Zero. It’s Summer Break in Hogwarts Academy it seems, and in this episode we follow the trials and tribulations of our favourite Master-Minion duo as they stay back at the academy during the holidays. We are also given more insight about quiet Tabitha’s quite shocking personal life, as Zerbst follows the Quiet, Blue-Haired Genius back to her estate. The theme of this episode is “Love Potion”, and so we are presented with some interesting events this week.

Crows: 0

No crows, but still. *Applaud* Thank you for ending the arc in a wonderful fashion, and not leaving any bitter aftertaste in my mouth. I really had no doubt that Kogarasumaru would win, but I was really wondering how they would manage to do it in the flashy air gear style. This worked.

Bleach - 94

Rating: 7/10

Bleach is finally winding down on this arc. The next few episodes will be fighting, or at least I’m hoping for as much. Even though not much really happened this episode, it was a nice doorway for what’s to come next episode: Byakuya vs. Kariya. Oh yeah, and a shoutout to Kon, for introducing us to such a nice young lady with his booby-dance.

Darkshaunz says, “Tres Bien!”
Score: 8.7/10

Its time of that week again, where everyone’s favourite Pink Thunder graces our Computer Screens.This week, Louise and Saito get their a special call from Her Royal Moeness, Henrietta-sama. After the sizzling action of last week’s episode, this latest instalment takes a light breather and focuses our attention to Saito and Louise. As hinted in last week’s preview there are Maids ahoy! Louise in a Maid Uniform! A new character being introduced to Saito’s harem! So there is much to cover in this episode with a French Twist. Let’s get started, Hajime!

Okay, okay. It seems like this topic is starting to get a little out of hand. Everywhere I go I’m hearing talk about how Naruto fillers are going to end. OMG it’s the end of the world! Everyone run around pulling their hair out! I said it before, I will make no claim to any knowledge of the so called end of the filler episodes.

Naruto - 197 - Big Problem! The Konoha Eleven Assemble

Rating: 7/10 (for bringing back the classic scenes, otherwise much lower)

Even though this episode wasn’t all that great, I give it major props for bringing back all the cool stuff that reminded me of when this show was actually “good.” Also, we get to see everyone, and I guess that’s always nice. Also, there’s a new OP, showing clips from Naruto Movie 3, which some are hypothesising means “fillers are ending soon.” Still, I’m not going to claim anything of the sort, since I don’t see any clear evidence to back my claims.
