“Bored, bored, bored”, ZEED proclaimed, “Instead of imagining what would happen if the SOS-Dan visited Lynchburg, TN, I’d rather be reading some dumb, short and slightly ecchi manga!” And so a “recommendation” was given.
The parents and sister.
I was linked to Domina no Do, as it supposedly fitted the bill. A kid is kidnapped when going to school, taken to a super-rich childhood friend that says he is her fiancee (because of some knee-licking that happened when they were younger) just to escape an arranged marriage.
The girl.
But yeah, she’s ultra abusive, the her family is into BDSM, his parents are broke and essentially gave him up to get cash, the maids are weird, and her little sister is really perverted. It’s like every bad character trait from anime/manga rolled up in one thing. It doesn’t help that our main character is awfully dumb. Ah, he gets transferred to an all-girls school to stay close to the girl (and get abused more). Ah, he also pisses (literally) on another girl’s face, and she likes it. Yeah.
He looks awful and acts accordingly.
So it’s really a tsundere-type love story taken to the extreme, and almost no signs of dere-dere, just sweet, sweet abuse (leaving a horse head on his bed lol). You don’t even know if she really likes our hero. Except for some very vague memories.
I asked for something dumb, and I got it. lol (unfortunately, looks like I’ll be keeping up with it, though, just for the awfulness.)
And oh! Good news for our international visitors! I recently “acquired” a new domain for this site. If you “speak” Russian, mark these urls:
- http://novoezeed.spb.ru/ – the Saint Petersburg division of NEO ZEED (apparently!)
- http://novoezeed.spb.ru/blog/ – the blog (I don’t speak Russian, so that’ll do for now!)
Fun times!
She's kinda cute in a mysterious way, innit?
So I was browsing four chons’ /a/ the other day, reading threads of interest, looking at the pretty pictures. (isn’t that how it always starts?) One thread, that I don’t remember the contents of, had a little discussion about Denpa teki na Kanojo. It didn’t seem well known, but those who had watched it were praising it. A Tokyo Toshokan search was linked.
Our hero. (tradition of taking awkward looking screenshots, etc)
A quick jump to wikipedia to check the plot yielded nothing. (srsly) Had to resort to an alternative, in this case ANN (lol) for the plot summary. Mystery and murder and and girl wanting to serve him, sounds interesting enough. And anyway, since there’s only one episode released, I wouldn’t feel bad about dropping it.
lol 3d
It starts with a rape scene, after some CGI buildings and some kanji spam. wat! The setting changes to a school (which while normal, looks much darker than on other anime), weird stuff happens.
She is pretty awesome, btw.
Weird stuff keeps happening, the scenarios get complex, detailed, the plot more fast paced. So many plot twists, more than your regular whodunit, and when you think the thing is over as they apparently solved it, there’s 15 minutes left and more weird and dark stuff happens. (seriously, everybody is fucked up on this thing.)
Scenarios are pretty good, notice the cars.
When you see it, you’ve been glued to the screen the whole time. I really, really liked the plot, the characters, even the character design which I had originally dismissed. The only 1 ep released advantage became a disadvantage as the next episode is coming out only on December (subs where!). I’ll even try Kure-nai, another manga/anime series adapted from a light novel by the same author/studio/illustrator combo.
Notice I didn’t properly summarize the plot, for it is quite complex, and crucial to the appreciation (lol) of this anime. But seriously, there are only 40 minutes of it released, you won’t waste too much time even if you dislike it. Go watch it.
Available on torrents or your favorite XDCC bot on rizon. (I went with Ayako’s release)
what is this I don't even
wat
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaft. That was the weirdest episode ever (from a grand total of three). Three fourths of awesome Senjougahara teasing, then he flat out refuses her advances, and proceeds to go beat up a loli. (That apparently is a snail?)
Weird shit. But anyway, Ghostory is still the best series of the season.
So hi, what else am I watching? Glad you asked! Let me list you the contents of my Summer 09 folder:
- Haruhi – Haruhi Haruhi Haruhi Haruhi etc. Fuck your shit I’m enjoying Endless Eight. Specially the last episode, the new BGMs, the weird camera angles, Koizumi getting more fabulous by the episode. And those last repeating scenes were just…
No screenshot could capture my feelings. Maybe a looping gif of that last scene would but eh
- GA – Geijutsuka Art Design Class – Hidamari Sketch season 3, apparently. Also using adobe apps on macs, the anime.
Also, Beatles mugs
- Sora no Manimani – Kanon with star gazing. Yay.
- Spice & Wolf II – Horo horo horo horo horo horo.
- Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! – Anime about depression with loli suicide attempt on the first ep! Sounds interesting! But lol weird Japanese fetishes fan service. Kinda dropped.
Suicidal lolis with weird perspective.
- Kanamemo – Slice of life, watched the first ep, don’t think I’ll be keeping up.
- Princess Lover – Downloaded the first episode, haven’t watched. Seems like it’s this season’s Queen’s Blade? (Update: according to my source (who has watched all three series mentioned), “Juuden-chan is obviously this season’s Queen’s Blade”)
And for stuff that’s not from this season:
- Ef: a tale of memories – Dramatic bawwww-worthy visual novel adaptations. My only weakness!!
*Not an accurate representation of the contents of mentioned series.
- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni – Something I should have started watching a while ago. Shit’s awesome. Too scary for marathoning though, two episodes a day are enough.
み~
- Toradora! – Rewatch attempt #324. Still love it.
- Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (first season) – Oh hey the download finished.
Anyway, that’s the update for today!
More Senjougahara 'cause she's awesome.
Meaningless post woo, not like people read this anyway. References from Mysterious Girlfriend X, go read it.
March 28, 2010 update: ok since I get a lot of search hits for tuesday cola (you people don’t believe it exists eh) HERE’s a pic of it
Oh god yes. ;_;
So, starting yesterday afternoon, I knew this would soon be around, so I started watching other anime to pass the time. I was always checking Tokyo Tosho in a tab though, and so I downloaded a raw of it. Somehow I managed to resist watching it.
"Leave it to me" ;_;
“I knew I was being unfair.”
As soon as I finished the last episode of the other series, I checked TT again, and there it was, Clannad – Another World – Kyou ver.ass. Quick download from mediafire, and I was watching it.
Dat crying short hair’d kyou
Perfect, they showed a lot of the backstory through quick flashbacks to make time for the important stuff. (lol fitting that arc in a 20 minute ova) One thing I found weird is that they changed the rain scene (first screenshot) to a Sunday, for no apparent reason. Not counting the hair length question and the precious stone dilemma, it was all there. I loved that was no mention of Kappei bullshit too :P
CG scene, glorious ;_;
It was totally worth staying up all night for it :’)
Raw torrent. Direct download of the anonymous subs .ass. Eclipse version hopefully in a few hours.
(PS. The show I watched while waiting was Koi Kaze, I really liked it, specially the goodness of the end, though I may sound unfair in just adding it as a footnote, there’s nothing that could compare to an extra Clannad episode, sorry.)
