Anime Wrap-Up, Pythagoras Switch, FFVII, and Music

Whoo! Uber major History/English project FINNISH! *insert Super Sentai pose here* Now to study for my English exam…enthusiasm GET! Damn, it didn't work. Anywho, it's wrapup time!

The Melancholy of Suzumia Haruhi – 4

Requisite uber cute Mikuru pic? Check.

Well, it looks like they decided to skip ahead a bit past the last half of the first novel, and completely skipping the second (according to knowledge gained on the SOS-Dan forums and the Haruhi Novel Translation Project. Go to both. You'll thank me.). Itsuki, the mysterious 5th member of the SOS Dan has already joined, and it looks like he isn't normal, just like Yuki-san. And, if you didn't take the hint in episode 4, neither is Mikuru. In fact, it looks like Haruhi found everything she was looking for: an Alien (Yuki), a time-traveler/slider (Mikuru), and an esper (Itsuki). Anyway, in this episode, Haruhi decides to join a baseball tournament, and forces Kyon and Mikuru to draft their friends (and Kyon's loli sister, just to appease the lolicons I'm sure) to complete the team.

Haruhi convinces Mikuru to recruit her friends the only way she knows how: ultra moèness

After using her unique skills of convincingness (read: Mikuru's hawtness) Haruhi manages to get the baseball team to give up the field for a bit so they can practice. This, of course, is hysterical, as Mikuru hides under her glove and Yuki stoically ignores the ball unless it's about to hit her, in which case she uses her 1337 a1i3n ski11z to catch it perfectly.

The baseball team sneaks a peek. Bastards.

Mikuru vs. a baseball…WHO WILL WIN? Answer: moè conquers all.

The team finally gets to the actual game…and they suck. They suck so bad that the world is in danger from being scrapped from Haruhi's imagination (don't know what I'm talking about? Read the novel translations or wait till next week, when they rewind and get to it.). Haruhi goes to her last resort: Cheerleader Uniforms. WIN!!!!!!!11!!!1!

Words cannot express the awesomeness of Mikuru in a cheerleader outfit.

Eventually, Kyon is forced to convince Yuki to use her uber alien skillz once again, and she puts the bat in homing mode, thereby allowing the team to score all 10 runs they needed to end the game in one inning. World is saved, the end. Until next week of course, when they go over how Itsuki joins the club and what happens when Kyon discovers the true extent of the mess he got himself into :p.

Side-note: The Haruhi OP is out from Nipponsei now. Go get it now, desho desho?

Double-side-note:

Desu desu desho desho?

Did I just blatantly steal this from Anime on my Mind? Yes, yes I did. Do I care? No. Why? Because the caption is a pun in Japanese that I made myself. Whoo. If you got it, good for you, you're an otaku, and you know it's terrible. If you didn't, rest assured that it is indeed terrible, but you need to work on your otaku index buddy. This does remind me that I have yet to finish Rozen Maiden…I need to hop to that.

Strawberry Panic! – 3

DID I FUCKING MISS SOMETHING HERE?!?

Yeah, so Nagisa and Tomao are intimate now…well, at least Tomao thinks so. But if Shizuma-sama finds out…Speaking of Shizuma, the poor thing still can't get that kiss in.

Keep tryin girl, she'll cave eventually.

Absolutely nothing important at all happened in this episode. It introduced two supporting characters that will most likely do nothing, and had Nagisa and Tomayo tour the dorm with them. Shizuma corners Nagisa, tries to plant one, gets interrupted again, the end. The next release should have some story with a relationship between two minor characters, who will most likely compete against Nagisa and Shizuma in the Etoile battle.

Start with Tomao, end with Tomao. Allways a winning combo.

Ah! My Goddess Season 2 – 3

Keiichi wants to get Belldandy something she'll like for Christmas to convey his feelings, kinda like how Bell made the sweater (that Keiichi refuses to take off). He sees her staring at a ring through a shop window, and asks her if she likes it. She, of course, says yes, (she is a she, and she's Belldandy. You could show her the Seinfeld ugly baby and she would say it was gorgeous) so Keiichi, with Urd's "help", takes on a bunch of odd jobs to pay for it. Because he's a nice guy, he tells Bell he would be late for the next few days for something he couldn't tell her about, and because she's Bell, she immediately says it's OK (after making sure that it isn't dangerous.). After getting the money together, Keiichi heads to the jewelry shop, only to find Sayako purchasing the ring. Great. He begs her on his hands and knees, and she eventually agrees to let him have it, under one condition: he had to do a job for her. The job? Dressing up as a reindeer to cheer up children, or something. I wasn't really paying attention at this point because of what Sayako makes Urd wear:

I believe in Santa Urd!

Yeah…so anyway, the little girl from the beginning of the series shows up again and looses her balloon, and Sayako makes Keiichi go get it. Of course, Bell shows up about now, just in time to see Keiichi fall. She uses her super goddess power (TM) to catch him, and proceeds to scold him. To make up for it, he produces the ring…and receives something new in return:

It's been a year, and this is as far as you've gotten…poor guy.

Pythagoras Switch:

Advent Children DVD GET!

Don't bother clicking on the pic, my camera sucks…but yeah, my life is now that much more complete. I've never purchased a fanservice blowjob before, but I've heard they're quite nice. Oh, and the English dub is an atrocity to humanity. Don't even bother with it.

Last.fm pwns my soul

BTW, due to demand and backups and such this thing can be a tad behind.

It truly does. If you click and check my profile, you'll notice my perchance for HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR and Yellowcard. HandMC is gonna be in Houston tomorrow…I would kill to go. Seriously. Anime cons aren't my thing, but for Maki LIVE ON FUCKING STAGE I would so not care about the fat chicks in FFX-2 Yuna costumes. BTW, Maki is hot.
