[MAYOIGA] Blinding Mist

Well that was plainly disappointing...

Episode one ended with some interesting things somehow intrigued me. Of course, there are still several more things that will still be uncovered throughout the series. But looking at this episode alone and not what lies ahead, this series just failed miserably. It's just the second episode and the atmosphere already vanished, the characters plainly disappointing, and the main character simply annoying and bland.

[MAYOIGA 01] Look Before You Leap

Hello, It's been forever since I last wrote an anime episode post. It feels really new to me. Oddly new. But here goes nothing!

I picked up Mayoiga because of its really intriguing premise. It's got a really mysterious feel to it. Synopsis-wise, it really caught my attention because of the village that seems to simply exist on urban legends - something people plainly talk about but somehow unsure of its real existence.

As you know, I like mysteries which is why I immediately jumped right into Mayoiga. Mayoiga is about a group of people who set on a trip to a village called Nanakimura which apparently doesn't appear on maps and can't be found by police. The village is surrounded by mysterious stories all of which seem so interesting yet somehow unrealistic. This group of people who met online decided to go to Nanakimura in order to start anew - leave the past behind because it's too suck-y for them (LOL)!

Shingeki no Kyojin 18: you know something big is going to happen soon...

my reaction while watching this episode!

Shingeki no Kyojin sure knows how to keep everyone always at the edge of their seats.

Shingeki no Kyojin 10: Armin becomes a man for once.

After all those Mikasa and Eren drama and flashback, I'd say that it was about time and give the limelight to Armin.

Shingeki no Kyojin 09: Seriously!? How are they going to escape now!? （￣□￣；）

Shingeki no Kyojin declared that its main characters are Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert. But it seems that the camera likes following Eren thus making him the main-main-character.

>>Contains major anime spoilers.

Karneval 06: We're done with Gareki. Are we going back to Nai's story now?

So this is where Gareki's story and the Circus's story meets (and definitely Nai's as well. See that old man there, Erisyuka's grandfather?).

Karneval 05: Each episode just gets darker. What happened to the flashy Karneval?

It would really be nice to see the connection of the stories opened up so far.

Spring 2013 First Impressions.

Spring season definitely never lets down.

Aku no Hana 04: I wonder what has gotten on Saeki's head.

Looks like things are getting more interesting.

Karneval 04: oh Gareki you tsundere, you might not get another embrace offer from Yogi (well I kind of doubt that).

Looks like we're digging on Gareki's background this time :3 (and no, I'm not into BL stuff)

Mushibugyou: your typical action-battle shounen with… seriously huge insects!

I was thinking of what else I can watch this season while avoiding series that I'll most likely enjoy watching in marathon (e.g. Kakumeiki Valvrave, Suisei no Gargantia). I was eyeing on Mushibugyou because of… welll… the cast and it looks like it's going to be a long running shounen series so I might as well start early.

Shingeki no Kyojin 04: it's payback time! or is it?

I didn't expect Shingeki no Kyojin to not hold back at all.

Karneval 03: Nai is really cute. Will Gareki have more embarrassing inner thoughts of Nai as a Niji?

Looks like we're getting background on both Gareki and Nai simultaneously.

Aku no Hana 03: Nope, he doesn't like her. It's probably the other way around.

Only 'Probably' because that's the best possibility I can think of right now. I never read the manga and never will :3

On my last post of Aku no Hana, I focused on my thoughts on Kasuga's actions. This time around, I'd like to talk about Nakamura Sawa (Ise Mariya).

Arata Kangatari 02: so Arata and Hinohara can actually communicate with each other. At least that makes things a little better.

Well at least we saw what's up with Arata.

Aku no Hana 02: Kasuga is obviously a perverted creep for taking Saeki's clothes home.

Aside from Aku no Hana's uneasy atmosphere, one of its greatest appeal is how natural everything seems to be.

Karneval 02: I guess Circus really is a circus.

Looks like Karneval will never fail to look as fancy and flashy as the first episode.

Aku no Hana: disturbingly interesting

Well that wasn't as bad as what others have been saying. The art, I mean.

Shingeki no Kyojin: outstanding first episode, will Production I.G be able to keep this up?

Not to my surprise, Shingeki no Kyojin started off with a really outstanding opening episode. The challenge here now is how it keep its momentum up high.

Arata Kangatari: it sucks to be pulled in to a world where you're suddenly a big time criminal.

Arata Kangatari's opening episode is disappointingly not that interesting.
