#1: Hunter X Hunter – 80: Once in a while Hunter X Hunter comes with an episode that just stands out. This was one of them. The first half just oozed style and really was a big change from the usual atmosphere and I found it really well done with how it was just in black and white, and how it didn’t show the guy’s face at all. The second half of the episode… let’s just say that it’s the first time in 80 whopping episodes that this series managed to shock me.
#2: Yahari Blahblah – 05: The end of this episode. That’s where I understood the appeal of this series and where it really became better than its contemporaries, rather than just a series with potential. The first parts of the episode were a bit iffy, but at the end it really became apparent that the creators spent time on it: the male lead’s loneliness is actually well.
#3: Yondemasuyu, Azazel-San – 07: This was actually quite hilarious. Yondemasuyo Azazel-san is at it’s greatest when it’s just banter. The characters have a really good chemistry together, and I especially love the creative use of facial expressions as this show tries to parody the murder mystery genre. Of course, they then proceed to ruin it in episode 8 while trying too hard on being weird and gross again. Enough with the jokes about people’s nether regions already!
WTF of the past Weeks:
Saint Seiya Omega – 56: So. We have this ninja, who has been raised in an incredibly conservative ninja village. This ninja then hears rock music, it changes his soul and now he suddenly is performing J-rock in a band of power-ranger impersonators. Okay.
would it not be simpler to refer to the show as Oregairu at this point?
I prefer Yahari Blahblah
Me too 🙂
That’s Hunter x Hunter for you. Everyone’s favorite SUNDAY morning cartoon.
It’s the first time HxH managed to shock you because it’s the first time you are not spoiled by a previous adaptation.
And so Psgels has been won over by yahari. A pity he didn’t blog it and left it only in the kaleidoscope.
It isn’t like he picked a bunch of bad series to blog though. I’m enjoying every show he chose to blog. Though SNAFU (dont care if thats a botched up english translation) is pretty good. Much better than I originally thought.
It’s time for you to blog HxH – because it’s only gettin’ better from here champ
What about the fight between Hisoka and Gon? It left our mouths dropped wide open.
“The second half of the episode… let’s just say that it’s the first time in 80 whopping episodes that this series managed to shock me.”
hmmmm…yeah that sure says a lot considering 70 something episodes were basically material you’ve already seen before 🙂
