Retsgip’s Anime Blog

So… I’ve finally moved from here. Hopefully nothing’s broken right now and everything works fine without completely destroying everyone’s computers. Lemmie know of any problems or anything since I can’t debug everything. I’m pretty sure there will be a ton of failed links and stuff like that, but I tried to get rid of as many as possible.

Posts should start coming again this weekend, so no real downtime. I was hoping to try and change the way I post pictures, we’ll see though. I might switch to a thumbnail format and post 6 or so at the beginning and then write underneath. But first I need to play with more plugins and fiddle with more of the site design!

Thanks for visiting! Enjoy!

Edit: How could I forget to thank Darkshaunz for another wonderful banner!

I don’t know what everyone was complaining about. From the comments I saw of this episode, I half expected to get my ass kicked so hard while watching this that I’d denounce my love for Pumpkin Scissors. The quality might have been a little worse than the first two, but nothing to really panic over. The plot was a little slow this episode, but somewhat necessary in order to develop Alice’s character. Hopefully, next episode will be the start of a new era in which GONZO picks up the slack from this week of vacation they just had.

Soi Fon powers up into emo-mode to defeat Mabashi the clown

Wow, episode 100. It seems like I picked this up only yesterday, back in the days when I was desperate for something more than Naruto or Yakitate Japan. I remember watching the first episode and enjoying the semi-dark nature (nothing compared to D.Gray-man or Death Note), which I soon learned wasn’t very dark at all. But still, to have kept me watching for 100 episodes without fail is pretty impressive. *applause*

FINALLY!! Bartender got subbed. I can die happy now knowing exactly what kind of anime it is, and what to possibly expect from the future. I don’t have much experience with drinks or food in general, so I can’t comment on any of that, but I can say that I enjoyed the setting and overall theme of the first episode (omg?).

After watching the first two episodes, I’ve found Asatte no Houkou to be an acceptable mix of drama, slice-of-life, and emo. Not the same emo you think of when people say emo, but more like softcore emo. Kind of like softcore porn, you don’t really see it, but rather you “know” the deed is being done. Well, thats how this show is, softcore emo. This gets my seal of approval.

Darkshaunz turns Safety off.
Score: 9.1/10

The Beautiful bloodsport begins this week in Black Lagoon. A truly momentous upping of the ante, another melodious addition to the already quick paced allegro of the series. This week my friends, we were treated, spoiled if you wish. I sat on my cushioned chair, eyes fixated on the monitor, mouth locked in gawk…as I set eyes on what was and will be the most glorious display of arms exchange in post-millenium anime history. Join me as I uncover the Kill Switch.

This originally wasn’t on my list, but when I learned about Tokimeki Memorial’s history, it was just too good for me to pass up. The original game is like 12 years old and I can’t help but expect good things from something that’s been paradied or copied for years, something like the Doom of dating sims. Also, I tend to enjoy harem, slice-of-life, and romance-comedy type anime, so once I learned of it I thought it could be perfect!

So, I was bored today and decided to watch Lovedol ~Lovely Idol~ and wow, just wow. This is either the best or the worst anime I’ve ever watched in my life. When I say best, I don’t mean that this is a good anime, or even that I’ll ever recommend it to anyone, but this could be revolutionary!
