Shakugan no Shana – Episode 24 [Fin]

Mar 27 2006 Published by Mina under Shakugan no Shana




No, I’m not going to bitch around…of course I could…demo…
Yuji refused union with Hecate and did a Sailor Moon “I talk you to death”-thingie while Shana rescued him to tell him afterwards there’s not enough time to help him out *cough* Yeah, I guess it was meant the way he must help himself, but it made me smile. The two other big battles could have been even bigger, but I guess I’m okay with that.
What I really can’t understand is why Margery’s storyline about the silver guy was totally forgotten and I’m angry about it. At least Shana used Blutsauger in the end. It would have been very stupid if she did not use it, the guys had such a fuss with delivering it.
All in all Shana was enternaining in various ways. I liked the music a lot and animation was light dreamy decent. There was too much/too less character developement, depending on the story arc. The episodes I enjoyed the most, one yould say I was in a Shana hype are those I did not blog about. There were good jokes, fights, everything perfect. The crash for me came with teh flashback episodes, but that’s a question of taste. The ending was more or less disapoointing, too standard. Still a funride, so I’ll be sure to keep an eye on PS2 and movie releases ^^

Kashimashi – Episode 8

Mar 27 2006 Published by Mina under Kashimashi - Girl Meets Girl



I already expected something like this, with all the talking about “coming up stage”. But is it realistic they suddenly all realize they love Hazumu, male or female?
Still I enjoy watching more and more. This cute little series is over all cute…and cute…and so cute. There’s even in only 12 episodes enough room for the story to develop and the side characters to get some time.

Shakugan no Shana – Episode 23

Mar 27 2006 Published by Mina under Shakugan no Shana


Hm, well, yeah there was some fighting, but I’m waiting for a really big clue, like…Shana gets to rescue Yuji but he answers “Hecate showed me what real love is, I’m evil now and will kill you” or something like that. Else it’s going to be a weak ending for a so-so series.

Canvas 2 – Episode 22

Mar 27 2006 Published by Mina under Canvas2 ~Niji-iro no Sketch~


What a beautiful episode. Even the animation felt special this time, not to speak of Elis’ character developement and actually, indeed the effective use of color red in some shots (e.g. the sunlit Christmas tree after Elis’ talk with Tomoko-chan) after Housen came to mind what is imoprtant in life.
It suprises me how much I’m involved with this show in the end. It was a slow pace series all the time, still intruiging and there was no episode so far I did not enjoy in one or another way.

The Thing about Noein

Mar 16 2006 Published by Mina under Misc. Posts

You may have recognized I stopped blogging Noein after episode four…it’s the same strange phenomenon as often with the shows I’m impressed about…they start to gather on my harddrive, one episode after another, but I don’t think I can cope with the blogging. Noein is one of those “I’m overwhelmed”-victims, it was the same with Sousei no Aquarion. No I started watching from episode 6 after a long time and like back in fall I love it so much, but I don’t think I can/want to blog about it. Alone thinking about the time structure and influence of an butterfly spreading his wings gives me headaches. So I will just relax and watch it for my own sake.

Magikano – Episode 5 – 8

Mar 16 2006 Published by Mina under Winter 05/06

At first I thought the pure comedy would not work for me, as additionally annoyed by the witch hunter I was very disappointed bot episode 5, but I kept watching and it’s okay. You dan’t expect anything from the story, but there are some so extraordinary stupid and good jokes I could roll over the floor, hounto ni!
Problem is I don’t know what to really blog about. There’s actually nothing serious about it, no character development….
perhaps some summary at the end?

Shakugan no Shana – Episode 22

Mar 12 2006 Published by Mina under Shakugan no Shana


Professor, what are all these cogwheels for? – I don’t know, but doesn’t it look cool?
I’m again at a point where the show gets on my nerves a lot. There was nothing new this time. It was clear Ane-san would come back and that Shana makes a desicion for Juji. It was only dramatic waiting and talking and preparing and *YAWN*
That’s not how I expect the final episodes to be.
And all in all it’s only about sex, what else. Yuji is “spreading out” and it “feels so good”?!?

Canvas 2 – Episode 21

Mar 12 2006 Published by Mina under Canvas2 ~Niji-iro no Sketch~


It’s strange I feel like I’m only blogging Canvas 2 and Shakugan no Shana at the moment. IS time really going by that fast?
However I’m not satisfied with the cut they made from Kiri’s confession to her and Hiroki being in a bar together. Did they finaly kiss, are they together? Why is it such a problem. Having a girlfriend means not such a problem for the situation with Elis, it’s not she has to move out immediatley.
I unnderstand it’s not easy to leave her alone at Christmas, but she’s got a whole bunch of cute friends and wasn’t there that guy, who confessed to her on the school trip?
