In comes Patrick Colasour, out goes Soma Peries…

Patrick Colasour Lives!

The Immortal Coleslaw Colasour Returns!

It’s not surprising that Patrick is alive (even though I’ve had completely forgotten about him until Lindt hinted it).

It’s not that surprising that he is in A-LAWS.

Mannequin & Colasour

Aww… She cares…

What’s really surprising is the fact that Kati had actually been in contact with him this whole time! DX

With everyone on the Ptolemy going on about their “reason to fight”, it would seem that Patrick will eventually become Kati’s reason to fight. Then once the Immortal Colselaw Colasour kicks the bucket, Kati would have her reason to go all out against her former comrade and fellow strategic analyst, Sumeragi.

Someone who calls himself an immortal is only painting himself as a big target to be killed off and the only way for ressurection is through either returning as the masked man or if you’re a badass final villain. And since he isn’t exactly a bad person, and we already have Mr. Bushido as the masked crusader of g00, Patrick will probably die a horrible, terrible death without hope of returning. He’s already escaped death once.

Marie or Peries?

Gives us back Peries!

Soma Peries had become a really interesting character in the second season, but now it’s all ruined. Soma was very swiftly replaced by her original personality and Allelujah’s long lost sweetheart, Marie. Parfacy somehow always makes me think of parfaits, and maybe that’s where she got her name because Marie is so sweet that I’m beginning to get cavities. Her personality did a 180 turn, and so she lost everything and anything that made her interesting.

Despite Allelujah’s happiness, I want Soma Peries back.

Tieria

“Tieria “Trap-mode” Erde, ready to flirt!”

The producers must have waited long for this day to finally show the full glory of the shemale that is Tieria Erde.

DB Drops Naruto Shippuuden

Posted by Neko Kyou in Naruto on November 23rd, 2008

Naruto Shippuuden

Dattebayo have just announced that they will be officially dropping Naruto Shippuuden effective 15th January, 2009. And for the first time ever, it’s not a troll. DB had decided to do this in respect of the joint effort between Viz and Crunchyroll to start airing the latest subtitled Naruto Shippuuden episodes on the same day as Japan’s airing.

This is the first time this has been done as far as I know, taking a currently running and popular series and start streaming (and presumably download) for a small fee, or free after a week. This is what many fans had been asking for when it comes to arguing the reason for fansubs to exist. While I am kinda sad that we won’t be getting DB’s sub anymore, I applaud them for their decision and Viz as well for their willingness to do what they did.

Whether or not Viz will succeed is still unknown, but judging by the responses from the free subbed anime on Crunchyroll so far, it will most likely be a success. Hopefully, this will then encourage more companies and studios to take up the online streaming/download model in the near future.

While fansubs will still be the biggest source of online anime, I strongly believe if done right, more people will switch to official channels, resulting in a win-win situation for everyone. Fans gets to watch their favourite anime for free or a small fee and not have to worry about getting in trouble with the law and the anime industry continues to thrive. Hopefully.

What does this look like to you?

Chara Nari - Doki!

1. Circus troupe

2. Orgy

3. Circus troupe orgy

Shugo Chara Doki is a lot more flashy than before, and looks weird in some ways. I still prefer the old “Open Heart” 😛

Although the first few episodes were boring, it’s finally starting to become interesting again ever since the ultimate trap Nadeshiko Nagihiko returned as the new Jack.

Fall ’08

Posted by Neko Kyou in Thoughts on November 12th, 2008

This was supposed to be a first impression of all the Fall season series I’ve watched, but since it’s been delayed for nearly 3 weeks, I’ve decided not to include series which I’ve dropped.

Gundam 00

Gundam 00 Season 2

It’s definitely looking a lot better than the first season, although I can’t help but feel that the scriptwriters are getting influenced by Code Geass and is going to turn the 2nd season into a trainwreck. They screwed up Tieria in a somewhat good way and it looks like every other character is about to get screwed over one way or another.

Clannad After Story

Clannad After Story

There’s not enough dango here! But other than that, Clannad is still looking good. A must watch for all Clannad fans!

To Aru Majutsu no Index

To Aru Majutsu no Index

The first episode was hilarious but the rest that followed was more serious. One of the better shows this season, but the pacing is kinda slow. After 6 episodes, it seems like everything is going to get “reset” with Touma losing his memories.

Kannagi

Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens

While the animation quality is lacking, this is one of the most fun show to watch this season. But I find myself wondering this a lot, why is an almighty goddess acting so much like a naive little girl who is totally clueless to the world around her? Then again, it’s her eccentric behaviour that makes it so much fun. Crazy Shrine Maiden is an excellent title for Kannagi.

Kyou no Go no Ni

Kyou no Go no Ni

Honestly, the first episode didn’t do much for me. The art design and animation is only sub-par and the storyline is a complete waste of time. But after a few more episodes I begin to find myself to really enjoy it. It has become a great and enjoyable way to complete waste your time. It’s not up to Lucky Star’s standard, but if you enjoyed Minami-ke, definitely give this a try.

Kemeko DX

Kemeko DX

Normally I would say this is trash. This time, however, I would say… Kemeko FTW!

Rosario + Vampire Capu2

Rosario + Vampire Capu2

The fanservice continues from where the first season left off, and those who read the manga would again say that the anime ruined the series. I don’t read the manga and I felt that the first season was much better in comparison to Capu2.

Toradora

Toradora

$(!)(@$&!! Not another Kugimiya Rie tsundere shana-louis-nagi anime. Taiga is like a mini-Louis!

I like Zero no Tsukaima, but having yet another similar love comedy tsundere Kugimiya Rie character just makes me feel like I’m watching the same thing again. Otherwise, Toradora is a pretty decent series.

Overall

A pretty good season lineup. Maybe it’s because I’ve been so busy the last few months that I haven’t really had the chance to enjoy the previous season’s offerings, but I’m quite satisfied with what the Fall season have to offer.
