Darkshaunz does some hustling in Tokyo

Score: 8.5/10

This episode was still excellent in it’s own way. Obviously it was a gear down after the “Tsunderevy” excitement, but it is obviously more of a background episode or a preparation episode for the main action bulk of the arc. Save a Spetznaz raid on a Yakuza office, nothing explosive happened in this episode, but the animation quality, Revy’s badassery and Balalaika’s insane Engrish skills managed to keep my interest.

Darkshaunz coins the term “Tsunderevy”

Score: 9.8/10

There’s something about this installment of Black Lagoon, I am not sure what it is, but it just delivered that extra “umph” to the usual hoo-ah of blood, sweat and explosions. What happens when you take the essence of Revy’s character, and turn it on it’s head? Something wonderful happens, and the Hottest gun-totting babe this side of Raunapaur has a whole new dimension added to her. Oh, and there’s the whole Engrish bit of the episode too. Revy’s Engrish is really cool and just made this already strong episode, that something special.

Wow, I’ve been just ITCHING to use that damn title and finally an episode presents me with such an opportunity. Yeah, Toko is hot as hell and she’s wearing an American-colored top. She’s not really in america, but she owns my pants hardcore style. Not only does she own by sporting my colors, but she also wears skimpy bottoms as well! Excuse me while I think of her as an object for a few seconds and go fap to my hearts content. *grabs tissue* *looks around*

Well, it finally happened. Naruto is dead. By dead, I mean that Dattebayo is no longer subbing it. Take a look at the “Quick FAQ.” Pokemon Diamond & Pearl apparently kicked Naruto’s ass so hard that it was sent reeling into a sparkle in the sky. Yeah, thats pretty much what happened. I think someone threw a pokeball somewhere in there as well but I wasn’t really paying much attention because both shows suck.

Darkshaunz checks out what the buzz is about.

Good Afternoon folks, I wish to happily congratulate any Aussies that frequent this blog, for the completion of both High School and Tertiary exams (Party Hard!). So the main dish for today is “Code GreatAss” or as the 4chan hivemind calls it, “Code GayAss”. So which is it? Well, join me as I do a 6 episode wrapup of characters that truly deliver, and characters that are likely to be used as story/plotline sacrificial lambs. Though, I think most would find this Sunrise and CLAMP alliance has “Delivered” thus far (more on the Pizza Hut pun later).

This bankai isn’t as “big” as I expected

Rating: 6/10

I was strangely unimpressed by the route that this episode took. I was expecting a lot more from the story than this, but I guess I was basing my speculations on the quality of the non-filler arc. I guess I effectively owned myself.

Besides the fact that this episode had absolutely nothing to offer the viewer, I’d say they managed to do a decent job keeping me “entertained.” That is, if I actually cared enough to be entertained, which I didn’t. We didn’t learn any morals, there was no fanservice, nothing was funny, and the girls weren’t cute at all. Ouch? The only thing they almost did was completely embarrass the girls, and that would have made my day.

Obviously, my photoshopping ability is about as keen as your grandmother’s

I thought I’d take the time to wish you all a happy “Turkey-giving!” I’m not sure how many people practice Thanksgiving, since well, I think it’s a tradition IN AMERICA, but the intent behind it should transfer over cross culturally. It’s a time where you gather with family and/or friends and celebrate the fact that you have food on your table, and family/friends that support you.  Spread the love.
