Bleach - Episode 274 - Hitsugaya's Desperate Frozen-Heavens Countless Ornate Entombment! - Review and Summary

Summary:

The majority of the episode was focussed around Harribel and Hitsugaya. Harribel releases and fires some water at Hitsugaya, who turns it into ice. When Hitsugaya attacks back Harribel turns his ice dragon into water and attacks back surprising him, using her special technique, cascade.

Hitsugaya attacks again, Harribel turns his ice into water, then Hitsugaya appears behind her and turns the water back into ice and slashes at her. Encasing her in ice. There is a short break from Hitsugaya and Harribel's fight and we see Kyoraku and Spark who are pretty much fake fighting. Kyoraku gets Spark to use his cero, which is a nice deep blue.

Then we go back to the right between Hitsugaya and Harribel who uses her cero, which interestingly enoug she fires with her sword.

Hitsugaya shields himself using the wings of his bankai. When Harribel catches back up to him she tells him no more running. He informs her he knows they're both waiting for the area to fill with water but says after that he doesn't need to wait, just when it look like he's about to go all out, he looks down and notices all the injured and decides against it, instead he uses sennen hyoro and encases her in ice, but of course that doesn't work and she turns it all into ice and uses cascade again, except this one is much more powerful since there was a lot more ice to be made into water.

Hitsugaya uses ryusenka and turns the massive cascade into ice, which takes a lot out of him. He crashes down to the ground, his wings barely holding. Harribel comes saying he made a sacrifice but then cold air comes, his wings reform, black clouds roll in, and Hitsugaya says the heavens are under his control. Hyoten Hyakkaso!! TO BE CONTINUED...

Thoughts:

Great episode, I love Hitsugaya and it was nice seeing him fight with the majority of his abilities. Harribel is great fun to watch to, I like her character. I can't wait till next week, whilst I did read it, I really would love to see it.

Bleach 405 - Deicide 7 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Matsumoto is running to the fighting area to see Gin is how it starts, then we go to the main story. Ichigo is on the ground and Gin tells him he should run. Urahara attacks Aizen with a low level kido attack. Aizen figures out it's just a distraction as Yoruichi burst through the attack and goes after Aizen. Aizen grabs her hand and Yoruichi punches him using Shunko.  He says she can't defeat him. Urahara comes into battle and starts using some cool benihime attacks, that entrap and set him ablaze. Isshin appears behind him and uses Getsuga Tensho.

Thoughts:

I was hoping that his father would say Getsuga ----- something else, so it'd be like their zanpakutous are brothers or related vs being the same Getsuga Tensho is such a boring attack, powerful, but boring. I enjoyed it though. Liked seeing Urahara's attacks.

Bleach 271 - Ichigo Dies! Orihime, the Cry of Sorrow!

Summary:

The first five minutes of the show go over what happened last week. Ichigo getting beaten up, Inoue and Ishida seeing Ichigo get a hole blown into his chest. Ishida begins to fight with Ulquiorra but to no avail. Ishida is easily bested. Inoue sat around saying "kurosaki-kun, kurosaki-kun, doushiyo, doushiyo" over and over. Really got to me. Eventually full hollow Ichigo pops up when Inoue says "Kurosaki-kun save us" and then bam! The action starts.

FH Ichigo is ridiculously strong, as expected. The first thing he does is shoot off a cero at Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra's cero is bested and he just can't beleieve it. FH Ichigo does it again and Ulquiorra is yet again in disbelief. He brings out his trump weapon, Lanza Del Ralampago, basically a nuke in spear form. His first shot missed and did a shit load of damage to the area behind FH Ichigo, FH Ichigo starts to really attack Ulquiorra who is in shock that he just used Sonido, the hollow way of quick moving. Ulquiorra beings fighting with his Lanza Del Ralampago which FH Ichigo destroys with one hand. After he breaks the spears he makes a slash and pretty much defeats Ulquiorra, then he does something not Ichigo like and fires a point blank cero to kill him.

Thoughts:

I read it but it doesn't compare to watching it! FH Ichigo is for the win! He's ridiculously powerful. I really wonder how strong he is in comparison with hogyoku Aizen. Maybe around the same? All I know is it's ridiculous. The episode was fantastic, I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time. Sure we got to see FH Ichigo during the last filler arc but it doesn't compare to the REAL FH Ichigo.

I feel sorry for Ulquiorra, but not reall. I really liked him, I like green.

So the next episodes, if there are to be no fillers, should deal with Fake Karakura. Can't wait!

FH Ichigo's beauty shot lol.

Doubt - Chapters 3-4

Summary

Early on in the chapter Eiji accuses Hajime of being the killer. His reasoning was that he doesn't like people who can see right through them. Interesting. Hajime insinuates that Eiji is the one that people should suspect being that  Yuu went missing when he went went to see where Eiji went off to. Eiji goes crazy and Mitsuki slaps him. Eiji prepares to punch Mitsuki in the face (woman beater!!), but Yuu sticks his face in the way.  The panel with Eiji's fist in Yuu's face is pretty funny. So he gets punched in the face and bleeds, then bleeds some more and passes out. Then we see that very Sawish panel of the bunny looking at screens.

When Yuu wakes back up he is in a different area. He was moved as everyone else began to explore. Eiji was locked away in a room after he didn't follow instructions and went off on his own and opened a door to a bathroom.  There is a little spat between the group over whether or not they overreacted to locking up Eiji. Yuu agrees but I do not believe he would have if he had a barcode like everyone else.

Yuu says that he has to go to the bathroom and when he does he begins to search his body for a barcode, which of course could not be found, because he doesn't have one.

They go off and find a room which Hajime opens. The room looks like a creepy abandoned hospital room. They continue through and find the man in the rabbit head! End of chapter 3.

So the chapter 4 starts off with where 3 left off, behind the man in the rabbit head! Yuu sneaks up behind the man and pokes him with a stick. He falls out of his chair and is unconscious. Mister Rabbit Head was shot up with lots of morphine. Yuu wonders what type of person he was and takes off his rabbit head. The man has a few scares on his face. Yuu begins to get paranoid when it is mentioned there is a door they would open with his barcode, which we all know doesn't exist.

The rabbit head man, who's now without his head wakes up and goes nuts and attacks Yuu. Yuu kicks him and he spits up some blood. Hajime discovers a thumbtack inside of the mask which he suspects had a fast attacking posion in the case the mask was taken off. Yuu begins to feel guilty saying he's killed the man but Hajime assures him it would have happened anyway being that one of them would have taken off the mask.

In the end the game hasn't ended, dun dun dun.

Thoughts:

Great chapters, good volume. I enjoyed it. Eiji is a bit annoying. He's just... stupid and reacts based on emotions too much. It wouldn't be so bad if his emotions weren't so out of whack. I prefer Hajime, he's probably one of my favorite characters. He's logically and calculated, reminds me of myself.

Later this week, or next week volume 2 will be reviewed.

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimao - Episode 1

I started this anime today. It's really good, funny, and interesting. I just watched the first episode and I'm going to watch the other 3 today. So far I like it very much. 

At the start of the series we see a woman dropping off a covered baby in what seems to be a church. I'm not sure who the baby is as of yet but I think it's safe to assume it's Akuto Sai

The main character of the series is Akuto Sai a young man whose just transferred to Konstantin Magical Academy. Transfer students are rare as the series says and for Akuto Sai to be part of the school must mean he's exceptional. 

He meets a girl, Junko Hattori while he is on his way to the train that goes to the school. He begins helping an old woman who dropped her things and while he is helping her Hattori appears and attacks him thinking he is trying to harass her grandmother. The grandmother explains then Hattori apologize although it isn't a very heartfelt one. 

While on the train they swear that they will make the world a better place. Akuto Sai's ambition is to be a high priest, A popeish figure in the series. Hattori is taken aback and first and tells him he can't make a single mistake, even littering is enough to disqualify him, but he is determined. When they arrive at school they hope Akuto Sai is in homeroom 1-a, the same as Junko Hattori and they go their separate ways. Akuto is met by Mitsuko Torii, the doctor and researcher of the school, who also happens to be the teacher of homeroom 1-a.

Akuto is sent into another room where other transferred students are located and a magical mechanical bird that tells students what their future occupations are to be. The bird has a great track record and always picks to correct job and the job the student has always wanted; however, that is not the case for poor Akuto Sai

He is chosen to be the demon lord! Poor Akuto Sai who wanted to be a high priest is destined to become the second coming of the demon lord, the man who caused much destruction 100 years ago. From then on, as you can see from the picture above, everyone becomes terrified, except for one boy. Hiroshi Miwa, Akuto's self proclaimed minion. 

An annoyed Junko challenges Akuto to a duel. She felt betrayed and fooled and believes Akuto's real aim wasn't to be a high priest but to be the demon lord. While they are fighting Akuto releases a powerful explosion which destroys the classroom despite Mitsuko creating a type of barrier around them. Junko beaten is laying on the floor unconscious.

Later in the episode Akuto uses Hiroshi's advice and sneaks around the back of the girls dorm and climbs up to Junko's window so he can apologize. This doesn't go over well as other students yell that they heard they tried to commit suicide together and other ridiculous accusations. Junko jumps out and begins to attack him again. He runs into the forest and is met by Keena Soga　who apparently loves his body. The episode ends with Junko in a murderous frenzy launching an attack and Keena jumping to protect Akuto. As she holds on to Akuto's body he releashes another explosion, this one, massive since it's not held back by a barrier like the first one. Again we see Junko laying unconscious. When another girl, Korone, a observer, appears.

From what I've seen this anime holds great promise. The story is fun and engaging and if you like harem, this seems to be the way to go. If you don't like harem  but like magic and comedies, you should consider watching it.
