Rating: 6/10 (bonus points because of Gai’s nice guy smile, and Kurenai being hot)

Okay, this was boring. I almost fell asleep while watching this and was so bored that I started browsing the net and checking my email. Sadly, it didn’t make the episode go by any faster. This arc was actually decent compared to the other ones, but this format is getting old. Where the hell has Kakashi been and why is he still missing?!?

I think I figured out why Naruto sucks so much, and the answer is simply that it’s boring. Compare the current Naruto with any long-lasting series and you’ll see that Naruto falls short in many aspects, but most importantly the entertainment aspect. I don’t even feel like watching the show anymore after realizing this, but I will anyways since I’m retarded.

I’m not sure what I find so captivating about this anime, maybe it’s the slice of life, or maybe the situation they’re going through. I don’t really know, but whatever it is they should keep doing it. Watching Asatte no Houkou is like a breath of fresh air in between all the dark and sinister animes or the mindless harems floating around this season.

I thought this was a great episode. A lot of times it’s hard to match the same quality as the first episode, but I think this was damn close (about the same as the second episode). They did a good job and I’m looking forward to whatever might happen in the future. Hopefully they’ll keep this level of detail in their art, and also not stray from the plot too much. Last week we had a nice view of Alice’s past and got to see a little bit behind her motives. This week, the general focus was more towards Panda-kun.

Score: 9.5/10

This week’s installment of Black Lagoon was world-moving to say the least. If I ever had to choose a “Favourite Episode” out of any anime thus far, thien this latest episode would definitely be in my Top 5 list somewhere. Black Lagoon is usually synonymous with it’s gunfare, gunslinging babes and a shitload of blood, but that was all blown away this episode. As I sat in my chair, captivated by the tragedy and the moral-loaded storytelling, I begin to wonder whether or not this is a new age for Black Lagoon.

This show has quite possibly kicked my ass the hardest this season in terms of boringness. Get this: I’m all excited right, because the new Lovedols was subbed and I thought that I might be able to catch a sneak peak at some anime-ass (even if the plot sucked) but noo they spit in my face with some weak drama shit! I was like “WTF IS THIS!! Where’s the loli idols dancing and Mr. Pimp’s mackin’ skillz?!?” They can do better than this, seriously.

Rating: 8/10 - Lots of burning passion and poses this episode

I was a little worried what this anime would turn into because it felt like they used all their cards on the first episode. Well, they kind of did, but now we get to see all the characters from the first episode fleshed throughout the series. I really don’t have a problem with this style as long as it stays true to the genres. They showed us that the there’s a lot of comedic situations, comedic people, and a bunch of cute girls. All of this spells disaster…if by disaster I mean hilarity!

I had a massive amount of neutral feelings towards this episode, and that’s about it. I didn’t really pay attention to what was happening, nor do I remember what happened because I was staring blankly at the screen as the boring and relatively predictable plot bounced off my eyeballs in attempt to corrupt my brain. Have no fear comrades, I held strong in the face of danger and didn’t give an inch to this unrelenting beast-of-an-anime, even if it caused acute retinal bleeding.
