Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman - 01

Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman - 01

Spoiler

By day, Roman is a ‘helper’ that helps out people with various tasks/odd jobs. By night, Roman is a ‘retriever’ that reclaims people’s precious items that were unfairly taken from them.

Roman (and crew) work to stop a rich noble who’s been causing/starting trouble with some mysterious attacks on the populace in an effort to extort money from the people via a protection fee. Seems there are some people that are possibly influencing stuff from behind the scenes.

Cuticle Detective Inaba - 01
Crazy people, everywhere.
Don Valentino needs to randomly show up on Polar Bear’s Cafe, or even at Grizzly’s Bar*.*

I refuse to read anything with the same acronym as Sword Art Online! Yes, it was just that bad.

So you talk about “good bad anime” and you still didn’t watch Master of Martial Hearts? Disappointing.

Gintama 257

Spoiler

A new episode not to mention a new arc? Most excellent.

Essentially, the setup for this one has us return to Yoshiwara; to be precise, regarding the famous courtesan Suzuran and her wish to meet her loved one. Of course she turns out to be an elderly lady and despite being almost dead she manages to court Gintoki in the most awkward fashion ever. :lol: The man on the other hand turns out to be the former Shogun and trying to infiltrate his castle seemed hard enough as it is.

But it turns out that Soyo, whom we haven’t seen for almost 200+ episodes, remembers her friendship with Kagura and manages to let the Yoruzuya + Tsukuyo in. Due to certain bakufu officials getting killed by an unknown assailant, the castle is secured by Mimawarigumi, whom Gintoki has the least fondest memories of. Finding a way to reach the shogun, it was decided that a game of kick the can was going to be used to distract Soyo’s caretaker and Nobu; but ultimately it came upon Gintoki in order to do it…only for him to kick the can right at the current Shogun. :lol:

Next week: The former shogun finally shows up and the current one will probably get abused further. :rofl:

Shin Ango Onishi is that good.

I can go talk about it in any forum that has read it, and say “yo, THAT SCENE”, and everyone would know what I was talking about.

Watched Kotoura-san 1. That shit will make you mad.

I can’t wait for Wamuu’s masters to awaken this week. Still waiting for Commie to sub Psycho-Pass.

And I’m reading this.

Kami-Sami no Iutoori 10

Shit made like no sense in the beginning but its gotten interesting and pretty hilarious.

Part 2 of that manga starts Jan. 17, I believe.

Man, I got trolled by the site I go to for reading Manga. It says there’s a new Berserk chapter but it turns out there isn’t.

Anyone waiting for the next chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin? The raws came out yesterday. Just waiting for them to get translated myself.

Is Shingeki no Kyojin a bi-weekly/monthly manga? I’m up to chapter 40 or 41 titled Ymir so still waiting on the next chapter.

Monthly. It comes out in a Seinen Mag. People tell me it takes about 2-3 days for the raws to be translated, so I’m guessing Friday or Saturday they’ll be translated.

Gintama Ep 257 Start of Courtesan of a Nation Arc

-Gintoki playing Kick the Can with the Shogun

[details=Spoiler]

[spoiler/]

[details=Spoiler] To start things off, a great New OP with nice animations showing whats to come to Gintama (Including Obi-Wan arc) Performed SpyAir again. Episode starts off pretty seriously about a man and a courtesan making a promise. We fast foreword in time to see the “Hero” Gintoki in Yoshiwara with Tsuki and others. Gintoki meets this old Lady who was known as the “Legendary Courtesan” in a comedic fashion, but ends with her tying a string to his finger. Gintoki learns that she made a promise with a man her lover. Gintoki and Tsuki work together (Having there own motives for comedic gags) to find the man who was with the Legendary Courtesan.

There information finds out that the Former Shogun, the man who allowed the Amanto to hang at Edo and Rebuit the Bafuku from the ruins was involved with the Legendary Courtesan. Odd Jobs and Tsuki think how they can get to Edo Castle without getting executed, but Kagura reveals to everyone else that she is friends with the Current Shogun little Sister(This happened way back in the series). After successfully getting in we see the shogun little sister having an old man caretaker to make sure she does not run away to the city again. As they go inside, they see the Mimawarigumi in the compound as guards for the Shogun due to the recent deaths of Bafuku officials including the Cell Phone Addict Commander Isaburou Sasaki and the Sadistic Vice Commander (Who rivals Sougo with her Sadism) Imai Nobume.

Odd Jobs and Tsuki figure out how they will lose their watchers the old man caretaker and Nobume who was assigned to watch the visitors. Tsuki then says for all of them to play “Kick the Can” which Nobume funny enough decides to participate. Everyone runs away since Gintoki has to kick the can (Because Nobume being Nobume would instead “Cut the Gramps”). Gintoki realizes he is screwed unless he kicks the can with all his might which the can…**Hits the Shoooogun!!! **With such force it causes an explosion and knocks the current Shogun out Once again… The New ED segment was also pretty sweet with nice art style of the various characters with a cheerful song. Then there is a Segement with Odd Jobs doing there usual 4th Wall Destruction explaining that the 2nd Gintama movie comes out Summer 2013 [spoiler/]

Haven’t gotten around to watching it. Know where I can?

I picked up omnibus volumes 1 and 2 of Morinaga Milk’s yuri masterpiece: Girlfriends.
Made sure to skip to the back to make sure the lesbian sex was uncensored.
Glorious.

I think I saw it on the xbox video on demand. Was briefly interested till I looked up the dirty bits, and they don’t seem that great. A little too soft for my tastes after watching masterpieces of erotic combat fiction like Queens Blade, Seikon No Qwaser, Manyuu Hikenchou et al.

Ugh. Back story of Yayoi in Psycho Pass 12.

She’s pretty.

Freaking love Sena

Sasami-san @Ganbaranai is the newest Shaft anime. It’s a must-watch even if it’s only for how strange the first episode is.

That shit was strange.

Should rename Hanegai to just Sena’s Tits. That’s all I really care about anyways.
