Well a few more series have come to an end. Zombie Loan which had the potential for being a promising series seemed to end quite abruptly. I am hoping its plans to return since it left a lot of unanswered questions but I will keep my ear the ground. All in all the final few episodes were rather nice and would have hoped it continued along those tracks if it returns.
Devil May Cry ended also which intrigued me as well since the series never really got much into any kind of plot it was like a bunch of filler episodes then a two episode arc for the finale. Kind of disappointed in how it ended very lack luster and kind of lame. But the art work for the series was absolutely gorgeous and I would expect no less from a franchise like that. Not sure if it will come back for another season. I doubt it but you never know.
A couple of other series are winding down El Cazadore de la bruja is winding down and has been a fun series to watch if just a little odd. I hope they end it nicely. There is a lot of potential and the characters are very well defined so they should have no excuse for a crappy unemotional ending.
Fan subbing has slowed down a bit over the summer with many subbers I am sure taking long vacations. Some of the bigger subbing groups have maintained a steady pace with releases while others have been hung up for months I am looking forward to start seeing some of those groups catch up and finish off some of the summer series.
If you haven't been watching Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn! you should start. The series had some great story arc's recently after a bevy of filler crap we now start to get into the story of the battle for the position of successor. It is great! I can't wait for each release and Shinsen-subs has been cranking them out pretty quickly recently so get caught up if you haven't been watching I am sure you wont be disappointed.
As always enjoy the shows!

Reideen goes out with a pop instead of a bang
The final episode of Reideen has aired and been subbed. But I must say it was very anti-climactic. I watched it and thought well thats it? Thats all? I was very very disappointed with the ending. It felt rushed and forced not sure what happened on the publishers end but I hope that wasn't the ending they wanted to do. If it was shame on them it was a great injustice to an otherwise pretty good show.
Anyways a few other series are winding down and I will post my reviews as they do and hopefully some new fall shows will begin shortly to keep things interesting. Keep your eyes out for more updates.
And enjoy the shows!!

Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou Tou Dai Ni Maku Review
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou is back for season two it seems and it picks up pretty much where it left off. This first episode is absolutely thrilling. But as always good luck trying to figure out exactly whats going on. They like to throw stuff at you and not answer anything until the end of the story arch. So expect lots of action and mystery while they fight for their lives as it seems some organization is targeting them directly.
I don't want to put spoilers but prepare to to be shocked at the end of the first episode. It was rather of a crap episode two better not be late kind of moment. In short if your a fan of the first run of this series start watching (if your not already) this new run.
Also about some of the series I have been watching. Toward the Terra with jomy and his gang of Mu are kicking some stellar butt in the recent story arc. I will say this series has progressed really slow but it has certainly picked up steam to what seems to be one heck of a conclusion. If you haven't been watching this due to its slow pace hurry and get caught up or your gonna miss one heck of an action packed thrill ride of an ending. (unless the writers screw it up.)
Code-E is also starting to pick up some steam there are still a lot of questions about her mysterious E power and her fight to control it and deal with school life. As well as some added characters who seem to be very interested in her ability. while this is still in the single digit episodes it looks like it will begin picking up some speed now. Hopefully they will start progressing more on her and her power and broaden her ability to control it and use it. I am hopeful.
I am really getting into Kaze No Stigma with all the cool powers and fighting and with kazuma going on a rampage now I am excited to see what happens next.
If your not watching any of these I recommend checking out some of them you surely wont be disappointed.
As always enjoy the shows!

School Days Revisit
School days-
This series is by far the most realistic love triangle kind of drama I could imagine. First he likes one girl but after she wont put out he switches to the other girl who has "supposedly" been helping him with his relationship with his current girlfriend. But in reality she wants him for herself. After some major drama she gets real intimate with him and he can longer stand to be away from her he just wants her body all the time. But they can't bring themselves to tell his current girlfriend whats happening. Meanwhile this timid girl has fallen madly for him but she is inexperienced and shy which drives her boyfriend away because "having a girlfriend like her is too much work."
In the last episode she catches them together on the roof doing the nasty and her world comes crumbling down.
This show is drama, drama and more drama... I cant say I like the main male character in this series he pisses me off to be honest. And he seems to have a short temper and abusive personality yet many a girl seems to be in love with him. Girls just seem drawn to assholes I guess. Anyways the female characters in this story are very hard to dislike they are very realistic in reactions and responses. And the art is just awesome. But if you hate drama with a capital "D" then stay away cause this show will touch on many nerves and have you yelling at your screen. (I admit I have a few times.) But like a car accident I just can't seem to keep my eyes away from this disaster that is their love life.
If you love drama and teen angst this check this series out just don't blame me if you want to hit your screen every time that boy shows up.
as always, please enjoy the shows!

New Summer Anime Shows Update.
Well it has been a while since I last posted and a lot of new interesting summer shows have appeared.
Baccano!
This new series is quite interesting. It is not for the feint or lighthearted people this show is gore-rific. It has some of the most grisly and bloody scenes I have seen since tokko. People getting ripped into shreds with bullets. Heads being blown apart by shotguns and the best part is that due to the fact these people being ripped apart are some kind of immortals. We get the joy of watching the bloody mess reverse as if played backwards. All the blood every last drop flies back to its owner in an very fluid and beautiful animation sequence. And this show is beautiful even with all its gore the animation is top notch and high quality. The movements and expressions of the characters are fluid and realistic. (well as realistic as a superhuman immortal can be.) So far I am still trying to understand the story. But the gist of it is there is a crime family in say early 1930's new york made up of immortals who cannot die or be hurt. Some are normal others are plain creepy. I am not quite sure what the reporter guy and little girl are to the whole story but it is sure to be interesting. If you haven't checked it out you should.

Mushi-Uta
This series is turning out to be very interesting it had started very slow but has been picking up steam recently and is a great one to watch. The premise is about a creature the "mushi" who attach themselves to human beings and feed off their dreams. In return they grant their host incredible supernatural powers. The government has setup a special group who's job it is to hide the existence of the mushi by eliminating them or getting the hosts to join their forces. But there is another group who is fighting for freedom to use their powers as they want. When a mushi is eliminated the host becomes comatose or becomes a "sleeper." However if you lose your dreams the mushi will turn on its host and consume them.
The story takes place some years after events a long time back when a girl mushi is destroyed by a young government agent. Suddenly years later she wakes up. Which is unheard of and her mushi and powers are back. After escaping custody she runs into the boy from long ago but neither recognizes each other but they seem to have some kind of bond. As the story has progressed she is finding herself in the middle of the war between the government and rebels with friends on both sides what will she do. And what will the boy do if he finally realizes who the girl he has fallen for is the same one he sent away so long ago. Very interesting check it out if you haven't already. You wont be disappointed.
