[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

White Album 10

Rina appears on the newspapers where the media talks about Rina dropping in popularity and lost to the Sakura-dan as well. Rina was in turn placed to sing in a club instead of at the Arena. Misaki comes out and meets with Akira where they go out and shop for clothes together. Rina then thinks of the reason why she had been placed to sing at the club by her brother and is angry since he had destroyed the office phones to prevent Rina's fans from complaining about their tickets they bought for the Arena. Yuki passes Yayoi a letter for Touya and asks her to pass it to him. Touya remains in school and hears rumours about the act of the cast at the school festival. Haruka then comes and seeing that Touya had someone meeting him, the main character of the cast gave up his hope of going to find Touya for the cause of his rumours. Rina reveals that she would want Touya to become her personal staff and goes off to find him. Rina appears in front of Touya after he hears from Haruta that Yuki was going to have a concert. Touya then tells Rina that she does not need to worry as her fans would still definitely go to support and try to see her even though they do not have the tickets. Rina then announces to the public that she would give free invitations to her fans who had bought ticket to see her in the Arena and Yuki, who was seeing the news, saw that Touya was close to her and acting as Rina's bodyguard. Yuki then practises her dance for her concert and Rina then leaves to write a note to Yuki when she realises that a letter supposed to send to Touya was torn and thrown in the bin. She picks it up and goes to the Echoes where she matches them up again and sees what Yuki had wrote to Touya. Rina then says that it was too late and began crying.

*till now i'm still quite unsure of who exactly does Touya likes, and it puzzles me on what Rina was saying at the end, the letter seemed that Yuki was trying to get Touya to see her in her concert and will leave him for good after that. The Yayoi was still quite evil and does not wish to give Touya and Yuki a chance to communicate and destroys the letter. Now that Rina has Touya as her personal staff, it might develop into a relationship since Yuki was already doubting it...*

Toradora! 23

Taiga returns to school and attempts to show Maya her wound on her head. Their teacher then comes in and reminds them that valentines day was coming and asks Taiga and Ryuuji to stay back after school to see her. It was regarding their future career and Ryuuji thinks that he should give up his studies so as to not give his mother too much burden since their family was not rich. Taiga however feels that she was too rich and does not need to think of her future. Taiga then reveals that her only dream was to find her true love with causes Ryuuji to fall over. Ryuuji was going to hand up his form when he sees Ami and catches up with her. He then learns that Ami was prepared to leave after the stalker incident but had stayed as she wanted to be with everyone and saw that Taiga was in need of help. Ryuuji then receives a call from Taiga that his mother had collapsed and Ryuuji quickily rushes home and goes out afterwards to get more good food. Taiga follows him and carries his coat, wallet and shopping bag to him and finds out that Ryuuji was acting strangely. Taiga refuses to let Ryuuji go and discovers that he was blaming himself for not being capable of taking care of his mother. Taiga then manages to calm him down and tells him not to worry. Taiga and Ryuuji then helps to take over the job and they were visited soon by their classmates. Taiga, seeing that the sales were not good, called Ami over and used her as a endorser to get more people to come and buy their chocolate. Taiga then recreates the chocolate into her own and gave to everyone on valentines day. She then gives Kitamura the best one since he was the one who had saved her and Minori, hearing that, appears shocked. Taiga continues to say about the words that she had not spoken out and Minori goes to Ryuuji and calls him a liar. Taiga goes to her but Minori reveals everything that Ryuuji was the one who had rescued her and asks her to say out her unspoken words. Taiga tries to run away but Kitamura and Ami had blocked the door and they asked Ryuuji if he was going to let Taiga keep running away. Minori goes to her and tells her that she would find her happiness herself and wants Taiga to have her true feelings. Ami and Kitamura then opens the door which Taiga quickly rushes out and Minori asks Ryuuji if he was going to go after her. Ryuuji then thinks about what he was going to say when he catches up with her and finally makes a choice.

*this episode was rather epi since the anime is going to end alrdy... a direct ending that could emerge from this episode on could be that Ryuuji and Taiga would be together in the end. Minori, Kitamura and Ami had just tries to make Taiga spill out her real feelings but failed, even Ryuuji did not koe what was his real feelings as well... next few episodes should be getting more and more epic and it was quite touching at the end of this epi.*

Chrome Shelled Regios 9

Nina learns that Layfon was a previous Heavens Blade Receiver and has tainted the name of the Heavens Blade by participating in underground matches and even killed a person who had tried to reveal what he has done. Meanwhile in Grendan, Leerin had received a letter from Layfon who tells her that he was able to live on because of her and wishes her the best of luck. Leerin's father and her had left the orphanage because they had sided with Layfon and had lost many friends. Just then, her father senses something and prepares to fight but it left without engaging with her father. While trying to find surviviors, Layfon, Felli and Sharnid goes underground to try and find and Layfon suggests that there should at least have leftovers from the people as he has seen it many times already. Nina then takes Layfon out for a talk. Leerin was writing a letter to Layfon when Shinorla comes by. A gust of wind then blasts open the windows and Leerin leaves to find her father. Nina then asks Layfon why he had participated in the underground matches and Layfon reveals that it was to survive and live on and would do anything just to survive. Nina however does not think that it was a right sense of thinking. Leerin sees her father being attacked by a person who was being possessed by a Filth monster and it was too strong. Her father shields her from the attacks and it continues to try and locate Layfon as he had lost to him before. Shinorla then comes by and saves Leerin before sending her guard to go after it. The monster tries to run away but gets entangled by the Iron Strings of Lintence's. Savaris then continues to increase the tension of the strings and finally creates images of himself and finally destroying it with his own fist. Meanwhile, Gorneo sees some suspicious people around him and follows them, only to find Shante attacking him and faints soon after. Felli then goes to find Layfon and asks if he was still hiding something else other than Grendan and suddenly Nina comes by and says that maybe she and Layfon should not be in the same platoon after all.

*some good information being revealed from Layfon's past and Leerin's relationship with him as well. So Layfon was not such a good guy in the past after all... the last scene of that filth monster getting killed was quite cool as well and i prefer savaris instead of lintence anyway... It now still remains a mystery on the attack of the city since that the platoons continue to investigate but still could not find traces of human lives in the city.*

[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

To Aru Majutsu no Index 22

Index was fascinated by the arcade machines and after Touma let her and Hyoka to go in and play, he receives a call from Aisa that asks him to run away. Touma ignores it as he thinks that they were underground and he might not have heard the words clearly. After they leave the arcade, Index and Hyoka senses a voice sent directly to their head and a person from Judgement then comes by and reveals that she was using telepathy to warn them. Touma, being unable to hear them, realises that terrorists were underground as expained by her verbally. When Touma and the others were heading to the exit, an eye finds them and Index identifies it that the terrorist is a mage. The door then closes up and the people were trapped underground. Index and Touma starts to quarrel about who was going to face the mage and Kuroko and Misaka then comes by as well. Misaka and Index starts suspecting each other's relationship with Touma and finally they get teleported out by Kuroko first, leaving Touma and Hyoka behind. Touma asks Hyoka to stay while he goes off to find the mage. Touma locates Sherry and sees that his school teacher was injured as well. Touma then goes face to face with Sherry who identifies him as Imagine Breaker but she could not see the Imaginary Numeral District key with him. Her golem then starts to attack with her revealing that she was trying to start a war and at that moment, Hyoka had caught up with Touma and the golem manages to injure Hyoka with a flying piece of rubble. Touma is shocked to see that the rubble had damaged Hyoka's face and inside her head was a crystal-like object rotating. Hyoka then wakes up and sees herself on the mirror and screams and run towards Sherry. Sherry's golem then hits her head-on but Hyoka survived and ran away. Sherry follows her afterwards and Touma gets a call from his homeroom teacher. She tells Touma that Hyoka was not human and was probably a phenomenon brought about by the AIM energy field. Back then she was just an unstable form and now she thinks of her existence as human. Touma feels that she was not just something that will disappear on contact and runs after her. Hyoka's face regenerates itself and Sherry caught up with her and reveals that she was not human and was the Imaginary Numeral District key. When the golem was about to land a blow on her, Touma appears and saves her by blocking its punch with his Imagine Breaker.

*so Hyoka was not human after all, she was not a mage as well O.o Sherry seems to be quite a powerful mage and shouldnt the golem disappear after Touma touches it? Index could not really use magic as well so it would be meaningless if she had went instead of Touma. i had though at first that the Imaginary Numeral District key was Index but it seemed that it was Hyoka, or was i mistaken? gosh... mind's not working well... anyway, if Index's a short anime then it would be left with 3/4 more episodes... haiz, so Index only played an important role in the first arc O.o*

Higurashi's OVA has started that i would just think of it as a 3rd season to the series. its delay between episodes seem to be quite far too which is like 1 month / episode. Anyway it would be alright since its just an OVA. Clannad's ending already with next episode being the last and 2 more extra episodes if i'm not wrong. Toradora!'s ending as well with only 3 more epi to go and it is the same as the other animes.

heres the OP to higurashi's OVA, nice song =)



[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

Tower of Druaga ~The Sword of Uruk~ 9

Herano reveals that she was a spy and had planned to follow Jil and the others. She requests them to stop climbing the tower but Fatina declined and were defeated by Herano and the 2 Coffin Knights. Coopa tries to save Melt and was injured as well. Herano brings Kaaya and Coopa with her to the top of the tower. Jil comes back and find Fatina and the others knocked out and learn the truth from them while Melt was staring at the bloodstain left behind by Coopa. Meanwhile, Ki was trying to get back to Jil and the others but Neeba found her first and brought her along with him and Succubus. Kaaya wakes up to find Herano and the Coffin Knights and they aligned the doors together which brings them straight to the top of the tower after Kaaya went to heal Coopa. Ethana prepares to start the uprising but Amina had already prepared themselves for them. Kaaya finally meets Gil at the top of the tower but says that he was not Gil at all and tries to kill him but failed and he goes forward to break one of her fingers before locking her up with Coopa. The Gil down below then kills Amina off. Kaaya then reveals to Coopa that she has chose Jil to be a person to die with her in the end and had no feelings for him until when they started travelling and her feelings started to change. Meanwhile, Ethana's uprising does not seem to be succeeding and had to retreat. Gremica finds Jil and the others and Uragon with one Coffin Knight. She suggests that they should not work together since their goal was similar and explained the origin of the Coffin Knights. She tells Jil that now Herano had most probably reached the top with the powers of the 2 Coffin Knights and Neeba as well with Ki and Succubus's help. Suddenly, the landscape in the tower starts to disappear and it had seemed that the real Gil had stopped all his illusions and therefore brought such effect. Meanwhile, the Coffin Knight following Uragon creates a door for them to go through.

*so Herano betrayed them and Melt now feels empty without Coopa, so he did care for Coopa a lot too. So now all of them somehow had a form of shortcut to the top of the tower and i feel quite sad for Ki who just happen to still get all chained at her neck and gets pulled by Neeba =X*

Clannad After 21

The doctor diagnoses Ushio's illness to be the same as Nagisa's and does not know what was causing it. Meanwhile, in the world that has ended, the girl was moving on with the robot in the cold weather and only she could feel the cold. Tomoya decides to miss the athletic meet and stay at home with Ushio and even resigns from his work to take care of her. Before he leaves, Yoshino exchanges his screwdriver with his to make sure that he'll return once Ushio recovers. Weeks past and Ushio's fever had not went down at all. She was unable to stand properly and eat solid food. All Tomoya could do was to stay with her all the time and watch over her. Ushio then asks Tomoya to bring her out on a trip again and Tomoya agrees once she recovers. Tomoya then thinks how it would be if Nagisa was here and he would at least think of some solution. Akio and Tomoya goes out to do the groceries and Tomoya suggests that maybe because Nagisa was saved by the city, she was probably tied to it and when the city was changing, it had brought upon her death and similarly soon to Ushio. Tomoya continues to take care of Ushio and he realises that he could not stand up properly as well since he had not rested for a long time. He looks out through the windoe and thought he almost saw a snowfield. Ushio once again asks Tomoya to bring her to a trip again and when Tomoya says to do so after she recovers, Ushio still persists and tells Tomoya that this was the only chance she could go on the trip. After thinking, Tomoya brings her out and walks with her. Ushio seems to have difficulty walking but still perservered and continued walking forward. It then started to snow and Ushio asks Tomoya if he liked snow like her and Tomoya, thinking how he had lost Nagisa on a snowy day, said that he did in the end. Ushio's footsteps then became smaller and finally she collapses in Tomoya's arms. She asks Tomoya if they were on a train and if it was night as all she could see was darkness. Tomoya says yes and started to cry. Ushio then says to him that she loves him and Tomoya says that he loves Ushio too. Ushio then became limp and when Tomoya realises, he calls out for her and asks Nagisa or anyone to save her and then collapses in the snow. Meanwhile, in the world that has ended, the girl had collapsed and tries to walk again but collapse again afterwards. Tomoya then thinks again if he had not call out to Nagisa in the past and nothing would have happened.

*i almost cried. YES, the last scene was very touching T.T and now Tomoya could not take it anymore and collapsed as well... the light orbs seem to be appearing slowly too and next week would be the last episode... T.T*

Toradora! 22

Ryuuji was dreaming in class about how Taiga had confessed to him and shouted Taiga's name halfway through a lesson. Taiga was now resting at her parent's place had not come back since then. Ryuuji became worried that her mother was as selfish as her father and not allow her to come back or it could be that she had realised that she had muttered those words to Ryuuji. While thinking about these, Kitamura comes by and Ryuuji tells him to tell Taiga when she asks, that Kitamura was the one who carried her back and she was unconscious all the way. Ryuuji then goes out with Haruta and their classmate to eat and sees Minori working there as a part-time job. Minori still seems troubled when she sees Ryuuji and tends to try and forget it. Ryuuji then discusses his future with his mother who suggests that he go to college without worrying for the fees. The next day in school, Ami walks by Minori and Ryuuji talking and tells Ryuuji that once the daughter was gone, the father was able to do anything. Minori then follows Ami and finds her sitting in between the 2 vending machines again and tells her that there was once a ghost there. Minori continues to say that she will not hesistate again and will continue to move forward and that she had already seen it once and lost something because she ignored it. Ryuuji then discovers that his mother had gone to work to help for his future fees and Ryuuji places Minori's hairpin that he had planned to give her into the cardboard box when suddenly he hears his door getting banged. Thinking that it was his mother, Ryuuji opens the door and finds Taiga there. Taiga, forgetting her house keys, uses Ryuuji's room to get to her room window. When she sees the hairpin, she felt that it was because of her that Ryuuji was unable to know Minori's true feelings. Ryuuji then wonders why was she worrying about him and Minori since she loves him. Taiga then tells Ryuuji that she had a dream which she muttered something stupid and Ryuuji confirms her that it was a dream, assuring her that she had not said it out and goes into her room after greeting good night to Ryuuji.

*Minori now is most probably going to look more into her relationship with Ryuuji and Taiga was now trying to pretend that she had muttered nothing to Ryuuji that time and it would seem to me that there would be a time where she would realise that Ryuuji had heard it...*

Chrome Shelled Regios 8

Leerin was greeted by 2 Heaven Blade Receivers and they told her that she was being targeted by something and they will secretly protect her. In the inter-platoon match, Layfon was brought face to face with Gorneo who was from the same city as Layfon. However it turns out that Layfon was far more stronger than him and had avoided his attacks. Shante then left her post of protecting the flag and attacks Layfon but fails. She tells Gorneo that the 17th platoon would be finished if they manage to defeat Layfon. The 2 of them then tries to attack Layfon but Layfon had produced images of himself and when Shante was about to hit the real Layfon, Sharnid uses his short-range weapon to stop her and the match was over with Nina getting the flag. They then went for a celebration for their victory and when Layfon leaves, Nina feels that something was wrong with him. Meanwhile, Felli was using her power to feel the world when she hears Gorneo and Shante talking about them hating Layfon. Nina was doing her cleaning job with Layfon and Layfon asks her if she was happy with the fighting and tells her that to him, victory means nothing. Nina however feels happy as she wanted to get victory with her teammates together just like if they had won the intercity match 2 years ago. A city that was attacked by Filth monsters is not moving and the 17th and 5th platoon was to investigate it. Upon reaching the city, the place had already no sign of life and Nina was shocked to realise that the city was Gandoweria, the city that they had lost to in that intercity match. Nina did not believe it since their coordination and power was there but Layfon tells her that all that meant nothing to the Filth monsters. Nina then runs off with Layfon following her. Reaching Gandoweria's flag, Nina asks Layfon what he thinks of victory again and he just replies that he would not die just yet. Layfon then saves Nina from a dropping body of a Filth monsters and Gorneo and Shante appears and reveals that Layfon was a previous Heaven Blade Receiver.

*since Layfon was the strongest in the 17th platoon, it seems that he was quite sad since he would always be targeted. It shows how strong the Filth monsters are as well by wiping out the whole city although they had gained a mine that was extra power for the Regios. Nina seems shocked to learnt that Layfon was a previous Heaven Blade Receiver too so it would be cool to see Layfon's secret being revealed in the next epi =)*

[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

White Album 9

Misaki finishes the costumes and when she displays them in front of her members, they wanted it to be monotone coloured instead and requested her to change it. Meanwhile, Touya was home-tutoring Mana and when she realised that he was asleep, she goes to him and said something before returning to her assignments. That night, Misaki, Touya and his father rushed through and managed to help Misaki complete her task. Misaki then goes alone to school the next day while letting Touya continue to sleep. Mana goes to the school festival as well and when she sees Haruka, she waves to her and realises that Yuki was on stage. Touya then finally wakes up and rushes to the school and hears people talking about Yuki being present. He then realises that Yuki has hinted him before about this occasion. Touya goes to see the rehersal for the play and calls Misaki afterwards about them and she thanks Touya and his father for their help. Touya then goes to Yuki's apartment building and shouted her name but no one responded. At the actual day of the play, Misaki was not allowed to watch the play with Touya at the seats and stormed off with him. Knowing that they will not sell Touya two tickets, Misaki decides to bring him to a place where they will be able to watch it. She goes off and borrows the key to an auditorium room and goes through it with Touya. They almost reached the spot but the play has started and Touya suggest that they sit down and rest instead. Touya then starts to talk about him being in similar situations before and when he wanted to tell Misaki about Akira's feelings, Misaki stands up and continues to go forward, accidentally knocking down some metal poles and injuring her. Touya goes to her and Misaki started talking about Act 4 of the play where the person is going through evil and tainted love. Misaki almost confesses her feelings for Touya but Touya manages to stop her by kissing her. Seeing her condition, Touya says that he loves her too but she says she does not love him and asks him to leave. After Touya leaves, Misaki thinks of her past with Touya but with having Yuki always by his side. Akira then comes and confesses his feelings for Misaki. She then collapses afterwards and Akira accompanies her to the ambulance.

*gosh... the story's getting darker and taking a bad turn for Yuki and Touya's relationship... since Touya was always out to help Misaki out, he does not pick up the calls from Yuki and he even turned up late for the school festival and missed seeing Yuki and her saying something that she was going to reveal something which could meant something important for Touya...*

[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

To Aru Majutsu no Index 21

Touma needs to go to school again and Index was left to take care of the house. On the way to school, he meets Misaka and talks about how he was experiencing many things that tired him physically and mentally. Misaka felt that he was talking about the day which she had asked him to pretend as a couple and gets angry over it. Touma then meets Komoe in school which she was holding on to information on AIM diffusion field which could lead to psychics being able to detect other psychics nearby. Tsuchimikado then goes to meet Aleister and tells him that an intruder by the name of Sherry Cromwell has arrived in the city and was a dangerous character from Necessarius. He prepares to stop her but Aleister prevents him and hinted that Touma should go instead. Komoe then introduces a new transfer student to the class. Index comes in but it was a mistake and the real transfer student was Aisa. While Index was having some trouble in the school, a girl name Hyoka helps her out and becomes her friend. Touma later finds them and had a chat with them. Komoe comes searching for Touma and Hyoka got scared and disappeared straight away. After school, Touma brings Index and Hyoka out for lunch and while withdrawing more money, Aisa comes to him and warns him of Hyoka. She tells Touma that she was connected to the people controlling Academy City and that she had a nickname, Counter Stop. Aisa later returns to school with the book that Komoe wanted about the AIM diffusion field and asks her if there was a student by the name of Hyoka. Meanwhile, Kuroko manages to find Sherry and attempts to stop her using her ability. While she was able to pin her down, Sherry had already used her power and a giant golem was summoned. Kuroko was trapped but was luckily rescued by Misaka who passed by. Sherry then prepares to summon a monster using words written from her chalk again.

*Touma is yet again going to get used to fight again... haiz... just because his power was so important... the story now does not focus on Index much so it might be a few moe episodes before it turns back to her story again, hopefully... i wonder whats the ability of Counter Stop, the name sounds cool too, even the ability of Hyoka still remains as a mystery too. Sadly Last Order does not seem to be appearing any time soon even though the OP did show her and Misaka together...*
