fall anime things and others

Hello. Do you guys hear that sound? Well, here in the north, it does sound like crispiness of the red leaves that fell off from the trees. Summer has long passed. It's cold. It's fall. And we just started watching some fall anime this year! Hooray!!
It always makes me a bit in a panic when a series of anime first episodes streamed in a week. Imagine my eyes looking all those episode ones and for me, i'd rather just choose 2 or 3, because i am also reading some manga, but i so love discovering my next favourites.

If you observe my posts, i really get to start every manga that are freshly published/famous, but i always am inserting some old manga that readers take for granted... just because the art is not that good. I introduce lots of not well-read manga and most of them, i tell you, are treasures. You can learn from them. They are a  bit nostalgic, a bit of a heart breaker, or a bit frustrating.

I'll write down below the fall anime(and some deets) that i'm sure i'll be watching and their screenshots that will be on my tumblr every after a new episode is updated.

1. Gakuen Toshi Asterisk - fantasy, dorms, fighting magical swords, uniforms, rival schools
2. Comet Lucifer - mecca, fantasy, innocent alien? girl with magic somehow ended with a normal human boy
3. Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-blooded orphans - yet another gundam series; you cant have too many gundam series; orphans controlling meccas fighting Mars human citizens(idk); long-haired blond girl protagonist (must be in a gundam series--LOL)
4. Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen - snow-filled mountains, villages, girl with cat ears and a boy with no memories doing some journeys, big scorpion-like creatures, magic
5. Owari no seraph - vampires versus demon-contracted soldiers, uniforms; two best friends, one is a turned vampire, the other one escaped from the vampire haven then became a soldier to fight off vamp
6.Onsen yosei hakone-chan - comedy, ecchi, boy meet a girl saying she's an onsen god
7. One punch man - comedy, one bald guy can kill  any creatures by a punch, weird side of Japan's time(LOL), cyborgs, aliens, crazy scientists, mosquito girl, 'can a cactus take too much of that water? is it gonna die', he's a hero but he doesn't like it that much, he just wanted to fight a guy who can take his punch
8. Haiyuu - precious volleyball babies, volleyball, school rivalries, cute manager
9. Rakudai kishi no cavalry - school life, uniforms, tsundere, swords, harem, ecchi,
10. Noragami - gods, fighting shrine gods, a not so popular god associated with a normal high school girl, magic, enchantments, regalias, 
11. K: return of kings - bishies with super powers, leader in each groups called kings, uniforms, 

That's it. Pretty sure i would watch them all but i may be left out in some anime but i'll catch up in a few days. no worries.

to like or not to like

Thoughts from ep 22 of Ore Monogatari

it does seem a little too late that i'm reacting to the episode. i'm a bit quiet telling my opinions between Suna and Yukika.

So here we go..
It's cute. they are cute. i love girls with glasses in anime and manga. i love them to death. the library girls who always bring so many books in her hands. the shy type.
but you see, this is Suna. and i hate myself why i'm a bit protective of this bishie character. if you always read my tags, he's my ultimate cinnamon roll. my daily posts(well, not that daily). my 'protect at all times' kind of guy. my 'too good for this world' boy. my 100+ tags post. even giraffes love him.

he loves this certain type of bird. he loves reading. he loves Takeo(in a homo or non-homo way). he even like Yamato. he likes people and probably dislike them at times when they say not good things about his friend. he's kind. Takeo said Suna is kind. He could make you touch his hand. he rarely does that. did i say he read books? from series to series? His laugh is cute. Flawless skin, smooth head of hair. Lots of sunshine in his background and glitters in the road he passes. he observes things. won't disturb your date if you have one. if a bird needs to poo, like the bird surely needs to poo, the bird will decide to procrastinate, nearly will kill himself, shake away his basic need, if Suna is walking below him. (haha)
i bet he doesn't really study but get good grades. the whole world is a little better when he was born. those girls who likes him, was blessed in all glory. he doesn't really like sports, but he can run fast and dodge balls. for a girl. he can put out the fire in your clothes, if you happened to catch one. he can eat sweets you made. he remember memories-- mainly the funny ones. he can catch your bag if you accidentally throw them.
he is kind.

in my opinion, i don't think they meant for each other. coming from someone who doesn't read the manga updates. the episodes which Yukika was introduced up to ep 22.. for me, it doesn't justify true love.
even if the animation made a million flowers and bubbles between them. even if she like him, and somehow Suna blushes. it's not because of the creepy stalkerish ways she made(that some people hate) or because some people wants him to be ARO, which is a bit selfish if it meant for him being alone the rest of his life.
i just knew it. i don't know why i knew it.
but maybe i do, with some of these guesses:
This couple is cute, but it will wear off making them boring and shallow. I have this ideal girl in my mind way before this arc was aired and this ideal girl is total opposite to Yukika. it's funny. I imagine someone who is active, a fancy girl who doesn't fuck with everyone. Who straight up will tell him she likes him. doesn't do bullshit. doesn't do subtle. she's transparent, giddy, pushy, a bit of an adventurer. crazy girl who is more like Takeo, a pony tail girl but can sweep Suna off his feet when she lets her hair down. Not the type who have goals of an actress and wants to go to America or a shy library girl who loves Shakespeare. Stereotypes, i know. But.. Suna deserve different. Maybe because, i like opposites. i told you guys this. heh

So yeah, it's a good episode. i never expected for Suna to say i love you back and lift her princess style while running off in the horizon. Suna deserved more than that. i would say, it will not satisfy me if that happens. Imagine them, going on a double date with Yamato and Takeo. It's too much sugar. And too much sugar, is... bitter.

I don't wanna talk about the girl's way of stalking or Suna's Aro status for now. We have some opinions about that. But this blog's purpose is just one.. for me, it's not the end, maybe they'll be together at the end of the manga, but that episode is a thumbs up. i don't want him to be alone. but if he wants it, and he is not particularly lonely, it's good. i think, i'm good for it. But in a long run, i want him to meet his ideal girl.. his Miss Right.

i think that ep is not stupid, or illogical, or stagnant or dumb or boring. i was in awe actually. coming from someone who is reading so many shoujos, believe me i know too many  stories that the bestfriend ends up with the other guy, or the next guy. the girl like the guy, her bff like the guy's bff too. then, the other one surprisingly like the other girl too in the clique. the characters are all paired up. and you know what, it doesn't really work that way in this anime, well at Suna, and it made me more excited. i couldnt wait to know more about them. or to be surprised. is it  that in the long run, Takeo is not for Yamato? Is it in the end, they will go to their different paths? Is Suna trying to conceal a secret? Is Suna have a good reason why he rejects every damn girl who confesses to him? i have questions but they are good ones.

i love the ep. i read a certain review, a bad review at that. and it's saddens me that the reviewer didn't like the ep. He wanted for them to be together and do double dates and marry and have children. No.. there are not really the exact words, but pretty much the gist.
So i wrote this just so you can read my opinion too. that no, I dont want Suna to be alone for the rest of his life, and no, i don't want him Aro, but like, if the girl haven't even drawn yet, it's okay and i'll patiently wait.

hehe.

til next time

viewing/reading updates, summer, skip beat, etc. and maybe some spoilers

Hello! I am so sorry because i don't usually update this blog but trust me it's still up and running. i have so many things in my mind right now regarding anime-manga shits and all that. so here i am now..

Is it summer in your place? me, yes it is. i am enjoying. well, if reading manga and anime-watching in front of the aircon are your type of enjoyment. haha. jk. How's your summer? Tell me in the comments below.

Okay...
I posted updates of Orange manga. Honestly, at first, like reading it the first time, i hated it. i don't like dramatic shit (excuse my lang--im too excited writing right now--it's like i type really fast) and somehow i feel like that type of drawing style should be about all flowers and bubbles shoujo. but,  when the plot is about parallel worlds and if they exist was used to somehow make a conflict, i liked it better. Which made me then think that, i hoped i read it as a completed manga, because it's going to be frustrating to read in scanlations monthly and sometimes i really forgot what had happened in the past chapters. And then, i read the news that it will end soon... which is i felt a bit bad to really wished it to end. is it not selling? or is it really limited on that particular time? i don't usually know these things but.. i think we actually read the end of it.. ch 22. i know it's until chapter 27, but the chapter is pretty much the ending. i''m waiting for the epilogue to be posted. (buy them on bookstores! teehee~) Anyways, let's get to telling what's on our minds about the ending.. mine's pretty satisfied. the thing is, i didn't expected it to be as satisfying, but the ending made me really happy. i was telling you with my tags in tumblr, if you're reading them that, i was not expecting a mind-blowing ending and i'll be happy if things in the future are not to be disturbed with all the events in the past. i realized that, i didn't believe in parallel universes. It's a happy ending for me.

Next one's, Dragon ball Chou/ Super. Dang, childhood this big, i can't let it pass. as you know, i'm watching the anime, but reading the manga is a bit more exciting...and... DIFFERENT. I don't know why some people have to have their kind of fun making and shaking things a little bit differently with all the timing and the scenes, but dang, it's kinda upsetting. Regardless, you need to read the manga if you want to know what i'm talking about.

Skip beat! chapter 227 have this sad atmosphere right now. And i was a bit pissed at Kyoko's mother thus my tumblr post. >,< I just didn't want to see mothers acting that way, and children being more understanding. Saena have this wonderful prestigious job while her daughter is still climbing like a turtle in her acting career ladder while studying at the age of 16(if im not mistaken), and she's not that all.. i don't know.. caring?! in a motherly kind of way. Saena, a character, difficult to care about is just about being introduced  more by the author in this chapter, but i tell you it's gonna be hard to convince me why she acted that way.. or still acts that way. Anyhow, i missed Ren. he's not in the chapter. >.< and it's skip beat you know, Ren just walking might take up an entire chapter.. or at least his photoshoot, waiting for the chapter is hard, and this manga is a whole lot of tease. i could probably make a list why. (LOL)

If you are following my daily posts the past few days, i posted some new manga of 2015 which was really fun for me. i looked them all up and they are so many more new manga that needs to be read! i am so excited to really explore new ones. it does require a lot of work tho so i won't promise i'll post all. i will pick up some interesting ones.

I am currently watching Monster right now. it's on ep 8. and imagine if we live in this world where we can adopt different species and live with us? It's gonna be hardwork which is why i am totally pity Darling~~ right now. (haha) Who's going to marry him? I don't know. maybe, it's gonna be like all (well not all but pretty much all) harems in this world, NOT HEA with one of the girls.

You know what i like this season? Well, one of the few that i really like. It's Okusama ga Seito Kaichou! . It's ecchi and naughty of course. but what a tease it has been every time an ep's 8 minute video has ended. I am already ahead by reading the manga but it's a joy to watch it in animation. And our dear kaichou really have a nice bodeehhh.!!

I have this manga recommendation to end this blog and it's entitled: Wonder Rabbit Girl  It's about different fetishes by certain girls that was discovered by this lad. It's interesting and unique. Check out more of my recommendations here: Tumblrtag

Thaastt's it! Until next time friends.

it's still running

yes, this blog is still running. i cant have much time for posting here but when i have something to say and it's a lot.. this is the place to go. usually some manga-reading updates and anime news.
i do write and it's always in phrases, so pardon me guys. i have to cut what i'm thinking coz i tend to really write long sentences like this and i'm a cerebral person so.. see. >.>

you know what, i am really looking forward for the cooking anime, Shokugeki no Soma. I read about it months ago, read some chapters and it's pretty amazing. I'll be waiting for it this April, just like the spring. :)
Just read Noragami chapter 52. to be honest, damn, Yato can't do anything! I mean, hell, i'm pretty bored at this arc. i need action, especially from Yato. I know, he'll be dead if his father will, but someone do something! I mean, this arc pretty much started for awhile and it's not getting any praise for me. I thought Bishamon arc is all ended. I just felt like it descend quickly from that of Yukine's arc. I sense a change for the next chapter, but we'll see.
--
I just remember that I'm suppose to tell you the mangaka that i dont like, right? And i think i said that you'll be a bit shocked about my choice? Well, i'll tell you who and i tell you some whys. I dont like her style not the person, just to be clear.
Let's make this a secret tho..(hehe) Disclaimer: My opinion
In my state of preferences, i can't anymore be reading if she have a new one, the work of Haruta, Nana.
Damn, I am not so sorry. I read almost all of her works, but each of her manga, there's this character I wanted to punch. haha. I know, I know, you love Chocolate Cosmos, and i pretty like that too(well, that's the most decent for me) but.. some of her characters are purposely made stupid, dense, dull-witted, and any other synonym of stupid you can think of. some male leads are insensitive and foolishly heroish. She makes a typical shoujo manga that i obviously and generally hated and rid of. Those manga are too cliches' made of submissive crying girl leads falling in love with  poker faced boy leads that is too dense and irrational. Period.

Of course, I love the mangaka of The bride of the water god. I can't quite find something better than it's art. It's gorgeous!! I cant even post a lot of screenshots from it in my blog because i feel like i'm stealing it from her talent.(lol)
The story is amazing!!
--
Ok.. what else..
Oh.. Hana Yori Dango's season two, Hana Nochi Hare!
Who doesn't know Boys over flowers? Im pretty surprised that we will have season two of this manga. I mean, this is one of the successful stories we've seen. So many adaptations. Although, this new season, we have a new group but in the same university that schooled F4. New girl lead too.
Someone asked me about where to read it, but i'll advice you to just purchase it if it's available in your place. let's support the mangaka, guys. But, i am lucky to just been read it through vizmanga.com.
:)

As I've said, i had no internet access for 2 days and I went crazy. No, not really.  I read books everyday so i am not easily get bored. Now i had my internet, let's talk about Shinichi and Murano of Parasyte. Haha, sorry, i know i'm too late to be able to voice my surprise of their sudden "intimacy" in the latest ep, and I just thought even from the beginning, that they were a lost cause.. and maybe later.. we don't know. It's not that really of a romance type of anime. If this sudden progression of spring in between them happened, of course, all hell will break loose immediately after.

 I just wanted to know what will happen next. I think this is one of my favorite anime this season, together with Cross:Ange, the very controversial mecca anime. (And i like controversial) *hihi*devilish laugh*

Part of me, wanted to talk more, part me wanted to shut up and i'll just shut up now and end this hell of a blog post.
stick around, otaku friends
