...Drop The Dagger And Lather The Blood On Your Hands Romeo...

Yeah, so, I have "The Sharpest Lives" by My Chemical Romance stuck in my head. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason why is because I feel asleep last night listening to it. I just could not fall asleep last night. All I could think about was how amusing and completely ludicrous anime can be.

I watched the second Bleach movie last night, Bleach - The DiamondDust Rebellion - Mou Hitotsu no Hyourinmaru, and I have to say....it was absurd. Granted, it did look amazing. Honestly, it was a very very pretty movie to watch, and plot wise it was rather good as well (now we know why Toshirou always has that scowl on his adorable face). But when it came towards the end, with Kusaka turning into that haxed demonic ice dragon, I couldn't stop myself from bursting out with a laugh that lasted well into this morning. I am defiantly still laughing.
The movie really did a good job of highlighting how much the soundtrack and visual style of Bleach has evolved. The music is far less annoying that it used to be and the colors within the anime have hit an all-time high of awesomeness since the Hueco Mundo arc. The influence on the way the films look is evident.

I watched the 22nd Episode of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 as well last night. It didn't exactly help with my hurting stomach. After I had watched the Bleach film, all the laughing had made my stomach hurt and then of course I had to watch Geass, and it made me laugh just as much.
Here are my highlights and thoughts on the episode:
  1. I knew Nunnally was still alive.
  2. Lelouch's hat was ugly. Honestly, he looked like some sort or Arabic Scheikh in those crazy threads. The hat was so dopey, it reminded me of the ones in Trinity Blood.
  3. Nunnally's serious voice is really awesome.
  4. The UFN is made up of pansy characters and totally lame guys who don't even dress like respectable politicians.
  5. Nina is total freak. I cannot believe how coolly Milly and Rivalz are around her still. I mean, yes, it seems she has learned her lesson, and it is nice to see her being more rational and less self centered, but why aren't more people freaking that she killed half of Tokyo!!?? Jeez, she is such an Oppenheimer character...frustrating.
  6. I don't want a season three. It needs to end. Plot will drag in a third season.
Thought I would also mention that I watched Natsume Yuujinchou Episode 8 and it was really cute. Why is it that I can never think of a better description besides 'cute' when I talk about Natsume??? Oh well. Looks like episode nine might be a creepy episode, and kind of sad. The word 'exorcism' was in there, but I have yet to watch it, so we shall see.

"Night 171" of D.Gray-man was a good chapter.
Refer back to my chat with Phan-man to understand the significance of the panel.

Bleach 324: "The Claws", was a very good chapter as well.
Hisagi's release is very very cool. Another two in one katana, not a one in two (LOL, thanks for helping me understand JD).
I am slowly watching Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ which is being aired on TV Asahi. It has a very distinct style which I love. Everything seems so real. It is as if the characters are living in the real world because of how realistic the background is. If you ever watched Honey & Clover, Gokinjo Monogatari or Paradise Kiss you would understand (and if you have yet to watch any of those, GO WATCH THEM!!!!).
This guy in ~Natsu no Sora~ is really cute. He totally reminds me of Kai from Blood+ for some reason. I think it has to do with his attitude. I feel really bad for him though, he is always so sad looking.
That is all for now, unless you wish to hear my rant on how I still do not have the Aru Ga Mama single. Enjoy the day!!!
