Dear Blog Readers,

Thanks so much for reading my blog!! It really makes me happy when I look at the statistics of blog visits! It's so cool how a lot of people all around the world read it!!
 
I'll try to update more frequently. If you have any blogging requests for any particular anime, just anonymously (or with a username) comment on any of my blog posts. I'll watch all of part of it and I'll tell you what I think.
 
THANK YOU

Kuroko no Baket - Episode 22

Note: Wow, I haven't watched anime for a while now... Ever since my level of laziness increased so drastically, I haven't been keeping up-to-date. But, I'll try my best to, regardless.

Honestly, when the episode started and as soon as Kagami appeared on screen, I SWEar the original VA was replaced.
Turns out, he wasn't. But, I dunno. He just sounded a little... Different to me.
Maybe it's only because I haven't watched anything in a long time.
 
Or I'm more in tune and alert to the character's voices ever since I got hooked onto the idea of VA-ing again.
 
Or I'm going mentally dysfunctional.
 
... One of those, but... I'm not sure which.

Kagami's dunk at the beginning of the ep was just...
 
"HOLY CRAP, YOU KNOCKED THE ENTIRE HOOP + BASKETBALL STAND DOWN, JUST BY JUMPING WITH YOUR RIGHT FOOT INSTEAD OF YOUR LEFT?!?!"
 
[Compared to anime, real life is just a bunch of boring shit.]
 
No, but seriously, all of Kagami's dunks are put to such extremes that, when someone dunks irl, your expression will be completely straight-faced.
 
This one's a screenshot from an episode waaaay before ep 22.
 
 
 NOTE: i'M TOO LAZY TO FINISH THE POST. :P
I'm already finished the first season.
Waiting for the release of season 2 of Kuroko no Basket!!

Jormungand 2: Episode 6-8

Oh man, where do I even start? Errr, first off, sorry to all those who actually read my blog. I haven't been posting recently because I've been caught up in a pile of work.
But now im back yaaay
*cricket cricket*
 
... Okay then. So anyway, I've continued watching Jormungand (just a bit but whatever).
I watched till ep 6 before i got so busy (sorry, but no blogging about that).
But recently, I caught up with 7 and 8.
 
Episode 7
 
So episode 7 is literally a shitload of explosions. It's a development episode that features Milee's past and how he got to join Koko's team.
 
He isn't as cool as some of my favourite characters, but damn he got cooler.
Mid-episode, it's revealed that his standing as a criminal is actually the same as Koko's.
He's on the military's blacklist.
And I was like: OH DAAAAAMN SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
 
I mean, come on man what the hell.
At first glance, he's just a black guy with glasses.
But give him a couple explosives and he's a badass.
 
And so, like season 1, references of "Koko's plan for the world" keep coming up.
Dr. Minami is working with her too.
 
But Minami, man... She's like... Koko's doppelganger or something. Personality-wise anyway. She's got that whole "i'll cut a bitch" attitude, paired with a happy-go-lucky-lets-get-high personality.
Their plan becomes more obvious in episode 8, where they open a factory for some shit I don't even know. 
Plot is still developing well which is great, considering most filler-development is really stupid.
 
Characters are looking damn fine.
 
Ep 7 is all about Milee (like i said). So [spoiler] he's a badass demolition expert, which means he knows how to blow shit up literally. While the team is being-ambushed-but-is-somehow-killing-the-opposing-side, he goes to set bombs and pretty much... kills all enemies.
But through all of that, his biggest concern isn't if the bombs will detonate or not.
It's actually if Jonah will still like him afterwards, since before Jonah seemed scared of him after learn what he could do.
 
He says something like: I wonder if Jonah will still attend my language classes after this...
And Jonah says: ... I better attend all of Milee's classes. I don't want to die.
 
Episode 8
 
Like i said earlier, episode 8 starts off with the opening of a new factory, financed by Koko and run by Dr. Minami.
 
But that's not even my main concering point is here.
 
Later in the episode Dr. Minami goes to meet with a second-rate arms dealer, who wants to make a deal. But she's pretty much like: He's catching on to what we're doing.
So this arms dealer guy has a bodyguard, just like Dr. Minami. (Dr. Minami's bodyguard is Karen. I cannot even begin to imagine how awkward her relationship with Jonah is. *drops to the floor dying of silent laughter*)
... Anyway, the scene pretty much goes like...
 
Arms dealer man: So you're pretty close to koko. What do you have going on there?
Dealer's bodyguard: OMG YEAH WE TOTALLY SAW YOU WITH HER WE'RE NOT STALKING YOU OR ANYTHING PSSSHHAWWW.
Arms dealer man: Shut up bodyguard
Dr. Minami: ....
Karen: ....
Arms Dealer: ....
Arms dealer: ... Anyway, man, I suck at dealing arms to crappy government organizations. Help me damn it.
Dr. Minami: ... no fuck you
Dealer's bodyguard: WHAT IS THIS, SIR?!?!!? OUR BUSINESS IS FAILING AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME OMG LEFT OUT OF THE CIRCLE HERE ERMAHGEERDD MAH FEELIN' ARE HUUURT
Arms dealer: shut up bodyguard
Dealer's bodyguard: .... I wanna cut a bitch.
Karen: bring it
Dr Minami and Arms Dealer: kk
 
So they start having a pathetic sounding cat fight in the background and the other two are literally sipping tea and talking nicely to each other.
Oh and there's this Royal Air Force dude, but... he doesn't say anything. He literally just sits there.

And well, that's pretty much all i have to say about that episode...

Now, I have tons of work to finish.
So I better get to that.
