Despite being the source of zillions of cliches and stereotypes, this anime seems to hover around “average” quality. I like the character designs, and the girls all have different personalities, but its failing to excite me. I’m more interested in the outcome and who Aoba will choose than the actual journey to get there.

Wow, this arc seriously takes the cake. I thought the other ones were bad, but this is just ridiculous. I already know what’s going to happen and that bores me to the bone. I think the fact that I paused this episode halfway through and took an hour and a half nap should say enough.

Darkshaunz tries the “Bull Ride”

Score: 9.7/10

This entry came in a little late this week, due to the fact that I have exams (and will most likely be the case next week as well). The latest episode of Black Lagoon, to put simply, Delivers. Frankly speaking, I will continue scoring this series high because of its fantastic entertainment value, consistency, and just having a charming (yet vulgar) cast of characters. Black Lagoon never tries to overextend itself, it just does what it does, Delivering high octane action every episode with a gorgeous Revy, and boy does it do it well. Also, I have decided to title the Black Lagoon eps according to the actual episode number as opposed to numbering them as they are released. Without further ado, let’s take a gander at this week’s prey shall we?

*whip* Koushi-dono, please,*whip* please forgive me…*whip*

Once again, I’m lost for words by the awesomeness that occurs in this anime. Seriously, can they push the envelop any more? I bet they can! Let’s just hope they’re more than willing to oblige us in our quest for risque comedy.

Today’s Menu: Rape, rape, and more rape.

In terms of craziness, not the same as last episode, but still hella funny!

Enjoy.

Yet another Sailor Ishida episode of Bleach! Once again, I’m gonna say it: Ishida is such a little pansy that I can’t even stand watching him anymore. His fight wasn’t exciting at all. Why? Because he stood still for 15 minutes of the episode and shot arrows at Yoshii. At one point I remember begging her to just kill him already so we could move on with the story, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen.

We finally get some stereotypical harem action this episode. The only problem I’m seeing with this anime so far is that it focuses too much on one girl then the other. There’s no bouncing around from girl to girl mid episode, but instead it basically does full episode features of each girl. I guess this isn’t a huge problem, but it feels a little slower in terms of relationship development. It also makes Aoba seem like less of a pimp, which is bad I guess since people want pimps.

Oniiii-chan!! I spilled.
(thank god thats ice cream)

Anybody else find not only this scene, but this entire episode to be so wrong, yet somehow oh so right? Can they even DO THIS on television? Wait, stupid question. There’s plenty of stuff out there involving non-animated humans that push the envelop more than this. In any case, I had to stop watching, take a deep breath, and look up at my ceiling as I mouthed “Oh My GOD…”

I’m still amazed by this anime! I love the consistency in how they present their material, as well as the pacing of the plot. Nothing seems to be rushed and it feels almost as if things will just fall into place. This makes for a smooth, relaxing viewing experience, which can’t be found anywhere else this season (that I know of at least).
