To hell with the missing epic battle scene ;______;

ep 16

Spoiler:

Key Board · 2008-07-21, 08:09

I think Momiji is planning on eating Noboru... literally..

Vexx · 2008-07-21, 13:57

I find it fascinating that I keep watching this series despite it leaning heavily into the "monster of the week" syndrome. The fight scenes continue to leave me "heading to the kitchen for a sandwich" but I do like watching the character interplay.

Okay I have to say...

ep 17

Spoiler:

mandarb916 · 2008-07-28, 01:31

17's the only ep i can recall thus far, except maybe ep1, that was a little too serious in nature. not to say it was a bad ep, but for a series that's been a very good balance of comedic antics and seriousness, it was a little out of character...still it was good to learn about some background information on a number of characters.

minnadaisuki · 2008-07-28, 11:38

I really like all of the characters on this series. However, I am tired of waiting for the English subtitles to come out.

Gentle note: complaining about fansub release schedules can be a bannable offense on the AS forums.
People who create fansubs do it as a hobby and they usually have jobs, classwork, and real life to contend with. Its remarkable that fansubs come out weekly rather than once a month ... and sometimes it can be several months between releases.

Patience and having-other-things-to-do is the antidote though ... no argument one can spin in circles hoping for the next fix of an episode.

I'm not complaining. My apologies if my post is a little bit offensive. In fact, I do appreciate their work greatly. Without them, I wouldn't be able to enjoy watching those series.

I also help them by giving out donations.

It's just that I should have taken Japanese lessons instead of Chinese. In that way, I can be able to watch the raws without any problems. I'm too preoccupied with work so I can't study anymore. Reality is indeed harsh.

Its not too late to take Japanese.

the real reason why fansub groups delay releases: its a conspiracy to encourage you to learn J.

serenade_beta · 2008-07-30, 06:33

A new ED will be used starting episode 19.

Title: Shiawase no Kotodama (シアワセの言霊)
Sung by Kuu, Kou, and Gyokuyou

It seems to be an ED where "cute" deformed characters dance and sing...

Spoiler for sample "deform" characters:

Wonder why episode 19...? Maybe the last arc starts on that episode.

Deathkillz · 2008-07-30, 06:48

Last arc huh...what are the chances for a season 2? In fact this series hasn't followed much of a plot anyway so I wonder what they can do to wrap things up

minnadaisuki · 2008-07-30, 09:26

I'm not expecting a very good plot on this series. However, the series itself is rather enjoying and fun to watch. It wouldn't matter if the story will not progress very well.

FlareKnight · 2008-07-31, 04:39

So caught up to episode 14.

Looks like denying being the Mizuchi's head didn't help this time. But man talk about a bad day. You go with the high hopes of a cute girl wanting to meet with you and you get some guy who then proceeds to kidnap you. How depressing.

Can't blame Kuu for the capture of Noboru. Since every time something has happened the target has been Tooru. Not that they want Noboru in particular just as a hostage to get Shiro-chan. Since it was pretty obvious that the tattoo girl they were after was Shiro, just with that charm completely wrapping her up no way you could see them.

Time to go to the rescue! Don't mess with the people Kuu is out to protect or your going to get burned.[/Spoiler]

I agree with that feeling. The "daily life" aspects of the series are really more interesting and entertaining to me than any "battle boss of the week" or "series climax" -- so I'm not wringing my hands if those things don't really pan out.

FlareKnight · 2008-08-01, 23:10

Well glad the subs are really getting closer now. But somehow I felt disappointed at the end of this one. Was expecting a good fight to rescue Noboru, but in the end just handed him off without much fuss. Sure got a bit with that fire enemy, but a quick collapse of the ceiling ended that rather fast. Though the series most entertaining times have been interactions with the characters rather than battles.

Kuu had to hit the nail on the head though

. Though really they could have kidnapped him at any time. There is really no security put around Noboru except when he's at home. Whether he was lured by a note that he thought was from a girl or not its sloppy protection as well.

Still nice to see Mubyou get a minute of air time

. Enjoyed having her around though doesn't seem like she will have much to do with this one.

Kind of feel for Tohru. Built up a connection with Shiro and she's just handed off. Sadly that's how it went down and one person will just have to deal with that. Kuu made the call though I would have rather had the Oni taken down

.

Would say the preview sounds exciting but....With the talk of fake previews and missing epic battle scenes. I don't have great expectations there.

serenade_beta · 2008-08-03, 13:34

Uwaah! Kugimiya Rie!

Congratulations, Bekira and Tsukyomi, for being the most unlikable characters in this anime (arc character-wise)~! ......

Spoiler, the animation gets great at times.

Spoiler, if you watch this episode, you'll get to see a mini-skirt miko-san.

Spoiler for ep18:

Back on topic, the cheek rub scene was just awesome XD sooooooo <---------> cute. More misaki's funny faces and Momiji...she is giving off really bad vibes even if she is super hot as well (man, all the girls in this series are hot O.o). Now it is a fight for Shiro chan. The preview doesn't look good for tooru though, and I suspect that Shiro chan isn't fully willing either. And the silver fox shows up again but in female form!?! __________________ Siggy: hohohohoho~ \| AnimeHistory welcome to our blog ~ \| Summer2009 early review Under the radar series Summer2009: Kanamemo, GA Geijutsuka Art, NEEDLESS

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Gyaahh! The preview was fake after all!! >_> Spoiler for ep17: To be frank, it wasn't that great of an episode, since it was a "super explanation" episode, where lots of talking happen, but the plot doesn't really move on, since throughout the whole episode, the onis are still trying to capture Tooru. Luckily, I found the video on nicodouga (though in exchange, I missed ZnT...), so I remained fairly entertained. As expected, Tsukuyomi is annoying, yes... At least they finally reveal that he is a god, and Bekira is his doctor and has quit being human. Some more on Shiro as well, and it is revealed that Tsukuyomi is the one who sealed Kuu... I wonder if Mubyou will stay around for the climax... Also, the oni guy who knows Gyokuyou... Surprisingly, Gyokuyou didn't get any appearance, and instead, we have some internet product that looks like a zombie with a big mouth. Finally, someone comments on Shiro's name. GJ, Misaki. Noboru is still wearing glasses~ Kou is... trying to find Tooru with a stick. And finally, at the end, Enju finds Tooru and Shiro.

I fail to see the funny side of it tbh. First we are copped out of out godzilla vs king kong match and now they also copped us on a sacrifice scene... Something tells me they had one storyline on the drawing board but just decided to switch it for a more boring one during each week -___- Geez... But I didn't not like this episode...it was just disappointing to see the cat and mouse game still going. Some interesting stuff though...like the guy being revealed to be the one who sealed Kuu...and how the heck did she forget about it Shiro chan! She is sooo cute ^_^ And I won't be fooled into thinking that she will be going away by the preview!

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Uwaah! Kugimiya Rie! Congratulations, Bekira and Tsukyomi, for being the most unlikable characters in this anime (arc character-wise)~! ...... Spoiler, the animation gets great at times. Spoiler, if you watch this episode, you'll get to see a mini-skirt miko-san. Spoiler for ep18: Shirooooooooooo!! Excellent. Compared to last week, this was a great episode and it ended nicely (not result-wise though...). And the animation during Kuu vs. Monster was high quality. And we are slowly going into the next, and possibly final, arc, with the introduction/participation of Gyokuyou and the master of the monocle familiar. Who would have thought, Shiro's voice actor was Kugimiya! I don't think it's a great match, but it wasn't really a mismatch either. Shiro proves she can do a lot more than jumping around with fireball throwing, even though it seems she blew herself up. And now, she has been sealed again. As always, Noboru is pretty much left out of much... Kou doesn't get much appearance either, only taking out the monster (demon?) with Sakasaen and fighting Bekira (almost entirely off-screen). Also, instead of using Sakasaen to reverse the elements, she uses it as a chakram... Tooru... Though I really wish Noboru will take back that comment on first love not coming true... It's too horrible for Misaki... Bekira and Tsukuyomi... They don't need to make any reappearances, seriously. Not a single likable characteristic. Oh, and for those who care, Bekira's big breasts are fake and she's actually flat. And ending the episode (before ED) is a confrontation between Kuu and the mini-skirt miko-san female Gyokuyou! The epilogue... While it was a good way to end the arc, I couldn't help laugh at what Enju was saying. Preview: Yeah... Whatever... Give us something real. By the way, what happened to Mubyou...
