Working!! - Episode 1 - Review/Summary

Summary:

It beings with the main character Poplar Taneshima greeting two customers. In the kitchen we find out that they need to hire and new cook. They send Taneshima  out to do the work. She asked all her friends at school but they all turn her down and she posted an ad but noone responded. While she was running through the street she bumps into the other main Character Souta Takenashi who Taneshima often calls Katanashi. He mistakes her for a grade schooler and ask where her parents are, she tells him and begins to tell him the family business, the resturant, needs a part time worker. He thinks it's a make beleive resturant. Taneshima pulls out her school ID which shows her as 17 and makes her Takenashi's sempai. Takenashi seems bothered at first that she's oldedr than him but so small. He thinks whether it's acceptable for him to like her being that she looks 12 but is really 17. He decides it is and begins work

At his first day of work he introduces himself to Taneshima and Shirafuji Kyouko (the assistant manager who's scary looking). Taneshima begins to train him but because she is so small she has to ask for help from others. When placing cups and trying to pick up dishes to put in the wash she's quite pathetic.

While in the back one day the other workers and the assistant manager tell him that if he has a love affair she'll have to schedule them so they don't work together.  Takanashi denies that it will ever happen because he simply love small things and he rather would think of himself as Taneshima's father. He then starts naming small things and equates Taneshima to a Daphinia, they decide he's really weird.

While Takanashi and Kyouko are in the kitchen he ask her how old she is. When she says 28 he says she's quite old. Kyouko gets pissed and makes sure he works 7 days a week. She teases him saying "you're quite young". Takanashi doesn't understand why she's doing this to him until he beings to speak to Taneshima who points it out. During that conversation we find out that anything above 12 is too old.  Later in the episode a couple boys are picking on Taneshima, Kyouko kicks one them in the chest. One of the cooks passes Takanashi her cell phone so he can bring it to her. She makes a call tellling whoever she is talking to, to take all their money.

The episode ends when Takanashi gets to work with Inami Mahiru, whose androphobic. She attacks Takanashi instantly. The whole time they never met because Kyouko tried to keep them separate but she apparently messed up.

Review:

Love it so far. It's funny funny and airy. It's been a while since I've watched an anime like this. I guess it's like chobits without the supernatural stuff. At least that's my first impression. It was a fun watch and I really look forward to watching more.

Character thoughts:

Taneshima: Funny, cute, oblivious, and naive.  It's just fun to watch her interactions with the other characters.

Takanashi is fun. He seems very kind hearted and seems to have a loli fetish. Since apparently anything above 12 is too old .

jun satou and Hiroomi Souma: Jun Satou seems the cool type and Hiroomi Souma seems fun and talkative. Didn't seem much of them in this episode so not much to say.

Kyouko: Easily one of my favorite characters right now.

Bleach 404 - Deicide 6 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Aizen starts speaking to Yoruichi, Urahara, and Isshin, about how he's going to kill them pretty much. There is some mild comedy about Yoruichi's shoe which dissapeared wich much have been special because her whole leg didn't get cut off when Aizen countered in the last chapter.  Yoruichi waits for Aizen to attack and when he does she is surprised by it. A huge pillar of whatever happens when he hits her and we cut to Ichigo and Gin.

Gin comes up behind Ichigo telling him that he's open but that he should just relax and watch the fight, saying that since Aizen gone all hyogoku there is no hope.  Ichigo says that he doesn't know what'll happen to him with Aizen like that. Gin taunts him saying he's admitted he'll be dead and has given up.

Gin begins to attack Ichigo with his uber long sword which goes back to normal size in at instant. He uses a new attack which, if we go by it's name, extends multiple swords. This prompts Ichigo to go hollow. We then see Kira lying on the ground and Rangiku running to see gin.

Thoughts:

Slow moving but good chapter. Aizen didn't really say anything exciting or new to really justify the lack of action but it was still a good chapter. I'd like to point out that in my last post about the bleach manga, the last picture showed Aizen fused together with his sword. Exactly what happened this week? He's suddenly unfused with it with no explanation as to what just happened? Gin and Ichigo's fight was okay for me. I really love Gin and I'm happy to see him fight now. His personality is just fun. Kira in this chapter I don't mind but Rangiku I don't like very much. I haven't been much of a Rangiku fan since I first started watching bleach. I don't know what it is about her, but I don't get why she's so high rank when she really doesn't seem to be that strong. Then again I haven't seen many strong people from Toshiro's squad except for Toshiro himself.

Oh well. Next week I feel it's going to be a talk chapter with Aizen and Isshins crew, and Rangiku and Gin. Not really looking forward to it, unless there are some new revalations. Hopefully Rangiku doesn't go there and go all. "we were friends!" That'll really get to me.

Bleach - Deicide 5 - Chapter 403

Summary:

This chapters starts with the massive explosion of Aizen's own reiatsu. Everyone is shocked by the attack but Urahara tells them basically that, that's not all it'll take. Aizen comes back in his new weird alien looking fully Hogyoku and says that if  he wasn't his new self that he would have been defeated. Urahara draws his sword and Isshin attacks Aizen, who by the way, is of course very fast. They manage to get chains around his and race to either side. Aizen takes this as childs play saying "what mockery is this"! This made way for the entrance of YORUICHI!!! Who lands on top of him blasting him with what looks to be her signature, shunko. Awesome explosion, probably the best entrance I've seen. Of course nothing is over because this is Aizen we're talking about. He comes back and attacks Yoruichi taking some of the frabric off her foot. it ends with Aizen saying he's going to crush each one of them. Also he's still evolving, on the last page his sword is merged with him.

Thoughts:

Lovely chapter, love the action, and I loved Yoruichi's entrance. Easily one of my favorite entrances, and I'm not just saying that because I love Yoruichi. It was a very entertaining chapter. I'm just wondering when is Aizen going to stop evolving. Can't wait till next week.

Doubt - Chapter 2 - Game Start

Summary:

It starts with Rei's dead body staked to the wall, just how it ended in chapter 1. The boy with the glasses they figure out is Hajime. He was suppose to show up to the meeting in chapter 1 but the location was changed and he missed them, so he said. Haruka comes into the room and meets the group. She was behind a locked door in the dark, thanks to her fumbling around she managed to somehow scan her barcode, which was placed there by whoever took them, and opened the door. They all find their barcodes and figure out they're used to open doors. Yuu asked about everyones memories but no one remembers anything.

Yuu and Hajime decide to go explore a bit and run into a dark room with some stairs. As they go down they run into a very creepy looking Eiji who was holding a flashlight. Eiji was already down there and just happened to find the flashlight at the same time Yuu was looking for one. They attacked Eiji and ran out of the room. Once they were back in the room Eiji showed up. Who also didn't remember anything.

A text message comes in on Rei's phone and Yuu goes to get it, Eiji snatches the phone away from him saying he wants to make a call, but there is no signal. He opens the text message which says "game start". They argue for a moment with Hajime about whether this is really rabbit doubt or not and then the chapter ends with a very Sawish picture.

Thoughts:

I liked this chapter. I thought there would be more action but it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it and looking forward to reading the rest of it.
