had finished Suzuka's manga yesterday, which was another manga of similar genre as Ichigo 100% and had a few similarity as well. Didnt watch the anime series though, since it ended quite early in the manga chapters and i suspect it to be kinda rushed like Ichigo 100% where not much "feel" would be build up. Suzuka's story begins with the main protagonist (shall use this instead of main character... sounds more cool =D) Yamato who noticed a girl, Suzuka, practising her high jump and thus falls in love with her. He later realises that she lived next door to him and from then on, he tries to build up the relationship with Suzuka. Suzuka does not really show that she was interested in him at first and was kind of annoyed by his character, being clumsy and such and and not seen him as a potential lover as well. Yamato, in order to get closer to Suzuka, joins the track and field club as a sprinter and he was good at it as well and was the ace of the team. Suzuka sees that Yamato was somewhat alike to her deceased senior, Kazuki, who was a sprinter as well and had confessed to Suzuka but got into an accident shortly after. Yamato suspects that Suzuka was being all good with him since he resembled Kazuki and shouted at her once that he was not a replacement for Kazuki and later asks Suzuka not to visit his grave anymore. Suzuka had not been able to forget about Kazuki and on that day, she brought Yamato to the grave as well and said that she likes Yamato as well in front of it. From then on, the two of them started dating but things were bumpy for them and most of the time the both of them were not able to agree to each other's actions or words. Suzuka later went abroad to study and breaks up with Yamato before she leaves. After a year, she returns again and tries to rebuild a friendship with Yamato but breaks down as Yamato confessed to her again and it would've destroyed the friendship she was trying so hard to build up once again. However, things did work out in the end and the both of them restarted their relationship. The both of them, being potential athletes, were given recommendations from two universities and they were promised a place at the same university. Later on, Yamato wanted to further their relationship but things got worse when Suzuka found out that she was pregnant. Due to that and their reluctance to carry out an abortion, the both of them had to give up their places in university. The two of them then start to live together and had a proper wedding ceremony after Yamato managed to save up enough money. The child they had was named as Fuka.
The series mainly focuses on the relationship between Yamato and Suzuka which is thus different from Ichigo 100% where the main protagonist had more than one girl that were potential candidates. For the Suzuka series, there was only another girl that was in love with Yamato at the start, Honoka, who was in a short relationship with Yamato since she realised that Yamato was still unable to forget Suzuka and then had went on to chase her own dream. Many ups and downs were seen in the series as their relationship progresses and was kind of like a drama series (which was why i quitted watching dramas lol) but it have a happier ending as compared to Ichigo 100%. I certainly was touched while reading Ichigo 100% and had almost teared while reading it unlike Suzuka. BUT! Suzuka's series is still not a bad series where u get to see more details and the hardships overcame by the both of them and feel happy for them due to the happy end. There was a short time leap for Suzuka, a one year period, similar to the time leap in Ichigo 100% but different in the time leapt and the appearance of the leap. All in all, it was still a series i had enjoyed reading nonetheless :D do recommend it after Ichigo 100%!
P.S. OK... Suzuka was really more er... forward... than Ichigo 100%, was kinda similar to Clannad, Nagisa's arc. Well, they alrdy did IT before marriage lol, thats like common in mangas or anime... =.= oh well, anyway, an impt note, Suzuka's X portions are WAAAY more than that of Ichigo 100% so do watch urselves :)

had rushed through Bakemonogatari and has "finished" it, theres only 13 epi for now and more will be released in due time, hopefully, via wiki + their website... Bakemonogatari is a very unique show and i could say that its sorta wierd. The genre is unique, the animation used in the series is unique as well. i would say this series to be a really special one. The series focuses on Araragi, a boy who was previously a vampire and the female character, Senjougahara Hitagi, whose arc was in the front few episodes where she had her weight taken away from her, causing her to be close to "weightless". More and more characters meet up with the oddities in the series, like adopting a "monkey fist" on the left hand, having a constrictor constantly binding a body due to a curse and so on. Araragi therefore brings the victims to visit the person who had cured him as a vampire (although he still has a little bit of power left) to help remove the oddities from them. The animation is really unique and i guess that was what kept me on watching this series =)
Ookami Kakushi has finally brought Issei to his doom... not that i hate him to the core, but i was thinking before that his time was almost up. More mysteries are brought up in the episode, with the people of the new town having to abide to a certain "rule" and "law" that is unknown for now, that would have their family members punished AKA killed by the girl with the large scythe. She just look REALLY LIKE Nemuru lor =.= anyway, Isuzu apparently knows what's going on and could, perhaps, start to hate Hiroshi since Issei could not get over him and that could have led to his death. Before Issei was hunted down, he did kissed his kouhai who was later detained and was told that she was now different from what she used to be. This gets me wondering if this meant that a "wolf" who has displayed affection for another would get the other to become a "wolf" as well? the suspense is building up...
HnG lastest chapter almost made me go "WUT?! A-TAN IS GG TO DIE?!" ok. it does seem like it, which i REALLY hope it doesnt happen (im an A-tan supporter =D) now hina has "entered" the fight and i guess more action could appear in the next few chapters and hopefully has the ending that would make me happy :D
Bleach latest chapter had Aizen wounded and ended with Hitsugaya stabbing Aizen in the chest, well, Aizen's face was really shocked and i really love Shinji's bankai lol. anyway now im guessing the following aftermath:
1. Aizen dies w/o Ichigo moving at all << highly impossible
2. Ichimaru comes and save Aizen but Aizen is wounded
3. Aizen powers up
4. Its ALL AN ILLUSION!!!!!! << im betting that this has happened and Ichigo wouldve found out that he had seen Aizen's SHIKAI = high chance o.o

just a note..., i wont be updating this blog as frequently as the past few weeks as school has officially started again and i most probably would not have the time to blog, like once per week or so, studies are still impt =) would try my best to fish out some spare time to update though, so do check back! =D
Had finally completed Darker than Black, both season 1 and 2, including the latest OVA episode... it really IS a great series, great plot, great storyline and kind of a sad + touching ending to end it all... unless a season 3 appears which i definitely would not mind =)
So for season 1, the story starts with 2 unique gates that had appeared at opposite places on the Earth, one called the Heaven's Gate while the other is known as the Hell's Gate. The gates have caused special people to obtain special abilities and they themselves would lose their "heart" and have minimal emotions, like not really feeling sad when someone gets killed, they are then known as contractors. The sky became fake as well with the stars replaced by stars which represented a contractor's life. There was an incident that happened near Heaven's Gate however, which the main character, Hei, was present in the war in that area. The main character was known as the Black Reaper and was feared by the other contractors, he uses 2 names in the series, one is Li while the other is Hei. He has the power to emit electricity and has no remuneration, which is smth that a contractor HAS to do or accomplish after they have used their power, like drinking alcohol for example. Hei works for an organisation called the Syndicate and has allies with him, another contractor, a human and a doll. Dolls are like mediums where they are programmed to have very little emotions and are only equipped with simple means of surviving, they also have special powers which allows them to scope the surroundings as long they are in contact with certain mediums. In Hei's team, the doll called Yin uses the medium water where when she is in contact with water, she is able to scout the surroundings as long as water is present, like sending out an observatory spirits. So mainly the 1st season shows Hei following the orders of the Syndicate and carries out the missions with caution to prevent himself from being caught. Near the end of the series, he meets a girl of the past, Amber, who has the ability to stop or reverse time but the uses are limited as her remuneration is causing herself to become younger, and attempts to question her on the whereabouts of his sister, Bai, who went missing after the incident near Heaven's Gate. Hei, however, helped in Amber's plan and successfully thwarted the plan to remove the existence of contractors from the face of the Earth, at the cost of Amber's life where she sacrifices herself to reverse time. The 2nd season continues some time after the 2nd season where Hei is now working for the CIA and is no longer with the Syndicate. Hei is seen in Russia at the start of the series and encounters a girl called Suou who has a contractor brother, Shion who is wanted by many people. Suou was given by her brother a piece of the meteor fragment which is a substance retrieved from the Hell's Gate and it grants Suou with contractor power which allows Suou to materialise a large rifle and her remuneration was folding origami. Hei helps Suou in trying to find her brother again after people went after their family in Russia. Hei taught Suou how to fight and sees her as an incomplete contractor as she was unwilling to take the lives of living beings which a contractor could easily take. Hei also loses his contractor powers early in the season but he could still complete missions he was given. Near the end of the series, Suou realises that she was a copy created from her brother, Shion's ability and she had already died many years before. She was however determined to meet with her brother once again which she sees her brother for the last time inside the Gate. On Hei's side, Yin had awakened as the Izanami and if she meets up with another being, disaster will befall the earth and Hei advances to kill Yin. Suou, at the last moment, pointed her gun at Izanami after seeing that Shion was gone and so was July, their ally, but Izanami had destroyed the meteor fragment she was carrying, resulting in her losing her memories. It had seemed that Suou was created to carry out an experiment as the was only able to retain her memories as a copy due to the meteor fragment. Suou however tries to aim at Izanami again but Hei stops her and lay her to rest beside July. It was later seemed that Hei's star started to glow again which could mean that his powers had returned again and was last seen with Yin before the both of them disappears and was never seen nor heard again. It was later shown that Suou was happily living with her dad and mom, without Shion, and had seen July as a human and not a doll. It was in fact Suou living in another Earth that Shion had sacrifice his life to create, a copy of the Earth without the Gates so that his sister, Suou, would be able to live happily there.
Season 2 wasnt that great as season 1, maybe due to the fact that there was lesser action since Hei had lost his contractor power. Suou's rifle could take up a more unique shape instead of looking more of like a military rifle. Season 2 had a sad ending and i felt bad about Suou being used as an experimental subject and was in the end sent to a copied world to live in. Hei and Yin COULD be brought to the copied world as well since Hei had told Suou that he would always be by her side and at the copied world, Suou had felt something missing which COULD be either Shion or Hei. Would've preferred a happier ending for Suou though =X
For the OVA, the Gaiden series, it seems to be happening in between S1 and S2 which would most probably and hopefully show the transformation of Yin to Izanami and im hoping for the OVA, perhaps the last one, to show the aftermath of Hei and the others AFTER season 2.
It was definitely a nice series, shldve watched it earlier lol =X Loved the last few episodes from both series though =) Love their music as well :D
The starting portion of Sora no Woto really did surprised me with the "engaged with enemy" scene which most probably would not happen for the rest of the series since i dun tink this series would be moving towards action and their tank has yet to be completed. really did LOL-ed when Noel joked to Kanata about a professor whoes surname was Pro and the name Fessor ._. still loved the episode though... somehow i just cant get bored from it =X
this really IS another WOT =X

Ookami Kakushi hadnt release much information on the killings yet but the latest episode did move the story up to another level with Hiroshi having witnessed a person getting strike down by the girl with the scythe. That did freak Hiroshi out and made him go and find someone who could help but was unable to find any one, phone did not work too, till he saw the man who had come into this town to investigate (he appeared ard halfway of the episode) the strange happenings and murder that many people were killed. The crime scene, however, did not leave behind any blood traces but there was still evidence of the murder being conducted as there was the hairpin that the victim was wearing and on it were some blood stains. Issei seems to be more "ill" then ever and even requested for more medicine and i've got a feeling that Issei could be strike down soon and perhaps it would show the scene where the 1st episode started soon...
Railgun's latest episode was more about developing Tessou's character, nth much did happen in the episode, with just an episode focusing on the life of hers. Index and Aisa were shown in the episode as well, maybe they had wanted to show them in this series sooner or later since Touma had already appeared for many episodes... did LOL-ed when Komoe-sensei said smth about the students blowing off the roof of her house which happened in the Index series... seeing that its already in the 17th episode, im thinking that the sisters arc might not be shown at all since i dun tink this series is gonna be long, ard 26 epis perhaps, and that Index series had already shown it, and also the manga portion of the arc has not ended yet.
had started on another manga as well : The World God Only Knows. thought at first it was some action manga or one with rather deep meanings in it... turns out to be quite an interesting supernatural series =) So they have this guy, Keima, a pure gamer who plays his sorta handheld game almost every single minute, no matter he's in class or at home, or even eating dinner. The games he play are mostly dating games and he does not fail in capturing a 2D girl's heart, no matter what games he play, even those with bugs, he is still able to complete it. SO... one day he receive some kinda contract from a devil girl, Elsee, who is here in the human world to capture spirits which hide in people hearts, when there is a gap in their heart. So Keima would have to somehow close that gap and force the spirit out for Elsee to capture, but the problem lies in how to fill up the heart and Keima used the answer : Love. Off he goes to try and capture the hearts of real life girls using his 2D experiences and make them fall in love with him to force the spirit out of their body and of course, he got many kisses as the series progresses. This series is really great though, interesting and with small jokes here and there, super clever main character at all, even teachers allow him to play his games in class since he practically aces any test =.= it could move to a romance manga as well, cant put away the possibility that Elsee might fall for Keima in the end or Elsee having possessed by a spirit and Keima would have to try and remove it through making her fall in love with him, well... IMO, it is a possible story development =)

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu is just a brilliant comedy series, every single episode has made me either LOL-ed hard or laughed hard. Episode 4 was basically more about both Himeji and Minami making lunch for poor Yoshii who apparently does not have enough money to buy lunch, resulting in him "indulging" on a tiny portion of a piece of instant noodle that was finished in a small bite. Minami felt embarassed to give Yoshii the lunch that she had made for him and instead used an excuse that she had made too much. Himeji did not give any excuse and asked Yoshii to eat the bento she made for him which made the rest of the class tying up Yoshii and sentenced him to torture+death+XXX after seeing that Himeji made lunch for him. The bento did turn our to be extremely nice and high-class till Yuuji came and ate a little of the bento before fainting and close to dying. Himeji was away to get drinks for Yoshii and after seeing the situation, Yoshii decides to smell it and was almost taken away by death. Yuuji however did try and persuade that love can overcome the poison and Yoshii ate the entire bento, resulting in... identical situation with Yuuji... well, Minami did give Yoshii the lunch she made after Yoshii sees her attempting to dump the bento away. Hilarious episode as always, the series COULD move to a romance side after seeing this particular episode though... LOVE this :D

after reading from the random manga Ane Doki, i went to find a similar manga by the same author and found this : Ichigo 100% ... just finished the manga and anime together recently and i'll say that it was a great storyline and plot. the story slowly and gradually became more serious with the last few chapters being exceptionally touching, had almost teared at chapter 163 too =X
it is a pretty old manga but heres the plot anyway (from wiki)
Strawberry 100% chronicles the school years of Junpei Manaka, a high school student and aspiring movie director, and his relationships with the girls that enter his life. At the start of the series, he encounters a mystery girl with strawberry-print panties, who he quickly becomes intrigued with. Hoping to find her, he finds the notebook of Aya Toujou nearby, who turns out to be an ordinary-looking girl. However, he soon discovers that Aya is a gifted writer, and the two become friends. Meanwhile, he believes the mystery girl to be Tsukasa Nishino, the most popular girl in his school. The two soon start a relationship together. However, he eventually realises Tsukasa is not the mystery girl he had been searching for, but chooses to continue their relationship. During his entrance exam for his desired high school, Izumimaka High, he discovers that Aya is in fact the mystery girl. On his first day, he meets a feisty girl named Satsuki Kitaoji, whom he later discovers to be his classmate. The two gradually become friends and Satsuki eventually falls in love with him. Junpei starts a film club with Aya, Satsuki, a new classmate, the girl-crazed Hiroshi Sotomura, and two of his high school friends. Later Yui Minamito, an old childhood friend, reenters his life, around the same time Tsukasa grows impatient and breaks up with him, although their relationship later develops once more and they become good friends. During the three years in senior high school, different incidences happen between Manaka and the girls and Manaka remains indecisive about who to declare his love for. Several other characters also came into the picture. It is only during the last year in senior high school, when one of the girls confessed to him, that he finally made his decision.
the very 1st chapter really did make me think that this manga was going to be like "XXX" and had a very unique way of starting the whole story. well, excluding the er... X parts of the story, this manga was just great. from the start, i had guessed that at the end, Junpei would be with Aya since that was what he had wanted but after seeing how Tsukasa and Junpei were as a couple and the things they had went through together, i did hope for them to be together in the end and was well rewarded with chapter 167... reunion at last after 4 years :) of course, many other characters did come and could have moved Junpei, i believed that Aya and Tsukasa were the only characters that had a larger impact on Junpei himself. For Aya and Junpei, they did shared the dream of making movies togther but Aya was more keen on writing novels and Junpei was more interested in making movies. More importantly, it did took Aya quite some time, nearing the end of the manga, before she did confess to Junpei, but she do know that it was already too late as Junpei already and always has, chosen Tsukasa. For Junpei and Tsukasa, it was Junpei who confessed to her and their feelings grew but when they went to different high schools and Tsukasa broke up with him sometime later. Junpei does not seem to want to forget about Tsukasa and Tsukasa herself still thought about Junpei and kinda regretted breaking up with him, after some time. Then, Tsukasa confessed to Junpei this time round, and in the same way as Junpei had confessed to her in the past. However, they broke up again once Tsukasa was soon going overseas to try and grasp her own dream. It was only then, in chapter 167, that Junpei and Tsukasa were reunited after four years and Junpei asked her once again if she would like to go out with him once more. A wonderful ending with the time-skip indeed :) Well... for Satsuki, she had loved Junpei but i do not see Junpei seeing her in the same light too, the two of them just doesnt seem right i guess, personally, i would have wanted Satsuki to be put together with Amachi =X After seeing how Aya talked with Junpei in chapter 163, and how he and she had cried after that, i really felt touched... after all, it was a hundred and sixty three chapter build-up of feelings, both Junpei and Aya, ever since he saw her on the rooftop on the very 1st chapter. Kozue could have been placed as a competitor in the later part of the story but i guess she had liked Junpei as he was the only guy she was comfortable around, she does have a unique personality too... Would have loved it if the anime had shown the movies that Junpei and the others had created, i was super interested in the movie whereby there was a scene where Tsukasa was running beside a train and smiling and that, was a scene from the movie i'll loved to see it being animated. The anime didnt show much though, although they had shown the breaking up between Tsukasa and Junpei but that part could have been extended since the next episode showed Junpei all alright and lively again which he should not have been, the manga did show him cry after him realising that making Tsukasa wait for him had accidentally hurt her. i wanted the anime to end with the time-skip chapter but they didnt introduced much characters but ended with the scene of filming Tsukasa, in the movie where theres the scene of her running beside the train. there were much "un-needed" parts in the manga but nonetheless, the story plot, the way the story progressed, the way there showed Junpei slowly maturing and the moving forward of the relationship of Junpei and Tsukasa was just fantastic and it had definitely, in 100%, moved me :) thumbs UP for a great and touching manga :D
there isnt really much storyline behind Sora no Woto but i just do not get bored watching it, beats me... the series does seem to have something mysterious in it, just IMO i guess...
K-ON! 14, a special episode, was just like any other typical episode, with full of fun, joy and laughter, the episode was on the K-ON! band moving to a live at a live house and performed there with the other bands and did attracted qutie a lot of audience as well... did LOL-ed when Ritsu wanted to write the spotlight to shine on the bassist when she trips... looking forward to their 2nd season =)
here are just some wonderful vids :)
R-type song sang by Miku =D R-type FTW <3, (addicted to the mobile game =X quite a long ago though...)
and the energetic ending song for Ichigo 100%:
it is a pretty old manga but heres the plot anyway (from wiki)
Strawberry 100% chronicles the school years of Junpei Manaka, a high school student and aspiring movie director, and his relationships with the girls that enter his life. At the start of the series, he encounters a mystery girl with strawberry-print panties, who he quickly becomes intrigued with. Hoping to find her, he finds the notebook of Aya Toujou nearby, who turns out to be an ordinary-looking girl. However, he soon discovers that Aya is a gifted writer, and the two become friends. Meanwhile, he believes the mystery girl to be Tsukasa Nishino, the most popular girl in his school. The two soon start a relationship together. However, he eventually realises Tsukasa is not the mystery girl he had been searching for, but chooses to continue their relationship. During his entrance exam for his desired high school, Izumimaka High, he discovers that Aya is in fact the mystery girl. On his first day, he meets a feisty girl named Satsuki Kitaoji, whom he later discovers to be his classmate. The two gradually become friends and Satsuki eventually falls in love with him. Junpei starts a film club with Aya, Satsuki, a new classmate, the girl-crazed Hiroshi Sotomura, and two of his high school friends. Later Yui Minamito, an old childhood friend, reenters his life, around the same time Tsukasa grows impatient and breaks up with him, although their relationship later develops once more and they become good friends. During the three years in senior high school, different incidences happen between Manaka and the girls and Manaka remains indecisive about who to declare his love for. Several other characters also came into the picture. It is only during the last year in senior high school, when one of the girls confessed to him, that he finally made his decision.
the very 1st chapter really did make me think that this manga was going to be like "XXX" and had a very unique way of starting the whole story. well, excluding the er... X parts of the story, this manga was just great. from the start, i had guessed that at the end, Junpei would be with Aya since that was what he had wanted but after seeing how Tsukasa and Junpei were as a couple and the things they had went through together, i did hope for them to be together in the end and was well rewarded with chapter 167... reunion at last after 4 years :) of course, many other characters did come and could have moved Junpei, i believed that Aya and Tsukasa were the only characters that had a larger impact on Junpei himself. For Aya and Junpei, they did shared the dream of making movies togther but Aya was more keen on writing novels and Junpei was more interested in making movies. More importantly, it did took Aya quite some time, nearing the end of the manga, before she did confess to Junpei, but she do know that it was already too late as Junpei already and always has, chosen Tsukasa. For Junpei and Tsukasa, it was Junpei who confessed to her and their feelings grew but when they went to different high schools and Tsukasa broke up with him sometime later. Junpei does not seem to want to forget about Tsukasa and Tsukasa herself still thought about Junpei and kinda regretted breaking up with him, after some time. Then, Tsukasa confessed to Junpei this time round, and in the same way as Junpei had confessed to her in the past. However, they broke up again once Tsukasa was soon going overseas to try and grasp her own dream. It was only then, in chapter 167, that Junpei and Tsukasa were reunited after four years and Junpei asked her once again if she would like to go out with him once more. A wonderful ending with the time-skip indeed :) Well... for Satsuki, she had loved Junpei but i do not see Junpei seeing her in the same light too, the two of them just doesnt seem right i guess, personally, i would have wanted Satsuki to be put together with Amachi =X After seeing how Aya talked with Junpei in chapter 163, and how he and she had cried after that, i really felt touched... after all, it was a hundred and sixty three chapter build-up of feelings, both Junpei and Aya, ever since he saw her on the rooftop on the very 1st chapter. Kozue could have been placed as a competitor in the later part of the story but i guess she had liked Junpei as he was the only guy she was comfortable around, she does have a unique personality too... Would have loved it if the anime had shown the movies that Junpei and the others had created, i was super interested in the movie whereby there was a scene where Tsukasa was running beside a train and smiling and that, was a scene from the movie i'll loved to see it being animated. The anime didnt show much though, although they had shown the breaking up between Tsukasa and Junpei but that part could have been extended since the next episode showed Junpei all alright and lively again which he should not have been, the manga did show him cry after him realising that making Tsukasa wait for him had accidentally hurt her. i wanted the anime to end with the time-skip chapter but they didnt introduced much characters but ended with the scene of filming Tsukasa, in the movie where theres the scene of her running beside the train. there were much "un-needed" parts in the manga but nonetheless, the story plot, the way the story progressed, the way there showed Junpei slowly maturing and the moving forward of the relationship of Junpei and Tsukasa was just fantastic and it had definitely, in 100%, moved me :) thumbs UP for a great and touching manga :D

now i could add in another similarity on Higurashi and Ookami Kakushi, both have something to do with bio technology. Well, for higurashi they did have smth to do with the disease thingy and for Ookami they were like designing some medicine which perhaps is trying to either help / worsen the effects of the people who can "turn" into wolves << just IMO though... so now the plot gets more mysterious with Isuzu's brother turning all wierd and was kinda attracted to Hiroshi's scent. And the existence of Hiroshi in the village at that time could have smth to do with the wolf thingy which yet again, is similar to higurashi with Keiichi going into Hinamizawa and finally ending the endless cycle. now im feeling that the Hassaku does seem to have an effect on those wolf people as well since Issei somehow got to his senses when Hiroshi broke the Hassaku scent bottle. definitely looking forward to whole series :)
the current Railgun arc turns out to be not bad after all the much is explained in the latest episode before ending the Konori - Kurozuma arc. Konori turns out to be a member of Big Spider in the past, even though she was an esper and she felt that she was at home while she was in Big Spider. So in the end, in order to save Hebitani, Kurozuma went to save him but didnt return after that. Everyone thought that Kurozuma was dead then until he appeared again. Misaka turns out to be quite worried for Konori in the end and had doubts over what Konori could be doing. In the end, it was a pretty nice scene with Kurozuma pwning everyone and Konori had used her ability once again and yes, thats pretty useful. Of course not missing the railgun which took down the Capacity Down in one shot. Everyone was brought down again with Kurozuma getting arrested by Konori herself and it turns out that the milk that Kurozuma enjoys was well liked by Konori as well. Quite an emotional episode, but nonetheless great.
once again we have an epic episode of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu. After F class had lost to A class in the ESB, the facilities of F class got downgraded again and now they got cardboard boxes for their classroom tables. and amazingly, Yuuji was now the "slave" of the A class rep, being dragged again with his hands being chained and got tasered now and then - including bringing him to watch a LONG movie, ... twice ... being unconscious. Yoshii has now budget problems and had spent quite a large amount on watching movies, eating crepes and had turned to instant noodles for his dinner as well. he did wanted to eat a piece of bread that was dropped on the floor as well... poor thing... it was certainly epic to see Mr. Yuuji getting dragged along by Shouko... hilarious indeed :D
Sora no Woto's 3rd episode came with Kanata getting sick and Rio was the only one left to take care of her since the others were gone. Rio wasnt able to find medicine anywhere and had to turn to the church for help on Kanata's illness. Meanwhile, while Kanata was sleeping, she had dreamt of the past again where she was still a small kid and had listened to a beautiful tune played on a trumpet and awakes to find Rio humming the same tune as well. Rio then knew from Kanata that it wasnt the 1st time she was hearing tune and brought her to the tank where Noel was working on it and played the tune once again for Kanata to hear and tells her to try and create some troubles and not just work hard on trying not to get into trouble. It turns out that the person whom Katana had heard the tune from was also the one who had taught Rio blow the trumpet << IMO ... and hopefully that person's identity would be revealed soon enough...
P.S. the tank's real cool lol
