Retsgip’s Anime Blog

Darkshaunz drinks Orange Fanta in the Entry Plug

It’s the later half of the university semester (assessments and more group projects), which means that I will have to drop my current coverage of Ikkiboobsen unfortunately, however in my recent coverage of the series, I enjoyed it immensely and I definitely recommend it to those who have not watched it already (if fanservice is your alley). I’d also like to take this opportunity to say that Retsgip has gotten a job recently, but he will be trying his best to write an entry when he can. That aside, how about that flashy new Evangelion Promotion Poster huh? I saw it and went, “There could be clues hidden within this visual aid”, clues which could enlighten us on what to expect on the First Evangelion movie remake coming out on September 1st (Entitled: You are not alone). Actually, I am alone at the moment, but I won’t be if you join me in some Angel-bashing and Eva-piloting.

Darkshaunz assesses the IchiRuki war machine

Looks like its going to be a Bleach-heavy week for Retsgip Anime Blog. As readers here know, I am a Rukia fan, amongst other things. I think overall as a character, she has traits which appeal to me, you know, the prideful and capable kind of demeanour. The kind of lady which knows how to handle herself, yet has a soft and soothing presence about her (The cute and ridiculous sketches help too). I am intrigued by her character because she’s got a wonderful chemistry in the series with Ichigo. So I decided I’d take some time out to just see where the two are currently at in terms of their interaction as characters, and maybe try and figure out just whether or not our Lady Kuchiki has got a rival in terms of Orihime.

Darkshaunz charges to Victory.

So, how about that latest episode of Bleach eh? As I was sitting on this soft chair of mine, eyes glazed to the screen, lusting to know the outcome of what was meant to be an epic battle. I could not help but think that the two titans, IchiGAR and GARjaw crossed their intents of fate in an galactic-scale power duel, A duel that would forever change the fate of our humble, mortal world, A duel fought on a man’s willingness to defend his women and a duel which knew nothing but strength and magnitude. This was the Battle of 121, the battle that would signal the beginning of a new age in Bleach, where the power gap seems impossible, where the skill seems onesided, a young man would rise to silence his assumed fate. SPARTAA!!!!

Darkshaunz is freaked out by Mushroom People (not Sporregar)

Score: 8.8/10

After a chain of four or so exciting, rowdy and intense boobtacular combat, it was time that the series took a small breather. It has been postulated that the human male brain can only take so much cleavage and cleaving before it explodes into a pool of caffeinated whiskey (May not be an actual scientific hypothesis). But the series still maintains animation quality and the pristine features of our battle vixens remains. However, it’s taking a slight pitstop for plot elements. Its ironic that a series which isn’t heavily reliant on plot devices has to do this, but its a must, Bounce and Bashing will only last as a novelty for so long (Plus plot advancement means more reasons for them to get naked). So let’s check in and see whats for the takings.

Darkshaunz finds out Maria is a Lady

Score: 8.9/10 (More Panties than a VS catalogue)

The Majority of this episode was in Red. I think one of the writer/animators accidentally spilled his Tomato Juice on the production cells. But that’s okay, because I like the colour red, and it made last week’s exciting Graveyard Kombat a lot more theatrical in a manner of speaking. It’s five episodes into the series and I must say, the fight scene quality and animation has held it’s own and still delivers the same impact of high-octane Boobtastic and Panty-frenzied action from the screen into the minds of the male audience (ladies too, if you’re into that sort of thing). Also, Maria-sama is a Lady, not a guy pretending to be a Lady and Yes, I am as shocked as you are.
