Darkshaunz sheds a fanboy tear

Score: 8.0/10 (Why take Rukia away from us!?)

I said in my previous entry that Rukia’s had an awesome run in the show ever since her return to Karakura town, and after our drowning wait of her return during the terrifying fillers. It was all too good to be true as usual, and we see her exiting stage right yet again (for no real reason). The episode continued on with the dark, angsty and twisted metal feel once again, leaving a bittersweet and tingling sensation at the back of your mouth. It is time for the hero to dim the light inside him and embrace the darkness, because there’s going to be a lot of it in the Citadel of night.

Darkshaunz stands amongst Shipper artillery

It’s a beautiful saturday afternoon here, and what better weather to get into the mood for some Hollow smashing (a’la Episode 140). Ah wait, there wasn’t much of that in this latest episode, in fact this episode was Bleach exploring some of the more lovey-dovey moments of two certain people. So on front there’s a war between mankind and its’ guardians against the corrupted souls wandering our planes of existence, and another front, an internal skirmish about the hometown girl and her never-reaching love for a sword wielding fool. We also question the need and the current war between the two major shipping factions.

Darkshaunz gets his Petit On.

In Collaboration with Abanzai! anime blog.

My fellow anime comrade Ooga invited as a guest author on his crib, he promised me a company car and a penthouse full of catgirls in heat (It was an offer only a retarded maniac would refuse). I refused, only to have him threaten to crawl up to my bed at night and slit my throat (which is about the time I accepted his offer). We’re ways away from even a shitty Camrip of the new Evangelion remake movie, so let’s vent our evangelion spirit somewhere else, namely at the recently announced Petit Evangelion series.

Darkshaunz remembers the Bleach movie.

Episode Score: 9.0/10

Movie Score: 7.9/10

Is it that time already? Time sure passes by quickly when you are having fun, as they say. By gosh, we are having a bloody ball with Bleach at the moment, the upwards sloping trend shows no signs of slowing down as our Karakura boys and girls continue to swing their pointy-things in the general direction of the big, bad Arrancars. As the clock ticks down to the Winter beatdown, both sides retreat to their respective lanes to a much needed showdown on this fateful afternoon. Oh, and I decided to add in some of my thoughts on the Bleach movie which was made available on the interwebs recently as an afterthought.

Darkshaunz wants to lick Luppi

Score: 8.5/10

The balls to the walls action of Bleach has been rediscovered. The captain at the stern of the Bleach anime studio has steered away from the Iceberg which would have sunk the Titanic series into the North Atlantic, and into the warm tropical regions of Kickass County. This week’s episode is all about questioning your sexuality, whether you be a boy or girl. Let me get one thing straight, what the fuck Kubo Tite? Why? Why did you create such a sexy, effiminate, yet endearingly suave espada (more like Sexpada, amirite)? Also this week is the beginning of DragonbleachZ, with the return of a shounen convention - Beamspamming. Take that Goku! (who is raping the polls at the moment). Join me today as we put on our “That’s no TRAP!?” face of a confused Admiral Ackbar.
