Gin no Saji : Hachiken Rides a Horse

Episode 2

So don't dispair my readers! I know I'm late with this blog as well but I've just been told possibly in the winter season this anime has a season 2! So catching up now means that if that is true then I'll be ready for that season to come out and be better at it!

I really loved the uniqueness that this series promises and it is a subject close to my own heart. I love animals.

Sooooo lets get started on the recap?!

Servant x Service : Everyone Has Close Calls. Learn from them and Keep the Workplace Healthy

Episode 2

Just so you know...

A week or so ago I posted a review for episode two... It wasn't until later I realized it was actually episode three and I managed to miss it. It did get deleted without many people actually seeing it.

SOOOOO this will actually be the real review for episode 2 and I did double check!

Sorry for the delay!

So last time the boys all ended up stranded for the night after Rei got trapped in the middle of a storm, we found out the sad story of Mako's fisherman and why he's afraid of the ocean.

In the end though what a sweet story we got, such a magical episode!

Lets hope this weeks (whoops) is just as good.

DANGANRONPA : The Animation : Dash Towards the Youthful Junk Food of Despair (Not) Normal Arc

A lesson to us all last week when we found the truth of Oogami/Ohgami's death. She killed herself to stop in-fighting, the lesson is get along and you'll survive.

Ohh and let us not forget the name of Ikusaba Mukuro, the Super Duper High School Despair!

Fairy Tail : Gray v Doriate

Chapter 350

The non-human Doriarte has been defeated by a de-powered Gray, all three Fairy Tail members (Erza and Natsu as well obviously) have been repowered and entered their own body once more.

But for Gray that doesn't mean much as we found out the true nature of Doriate...

He is a demon from the book of Zaref and he is angry!

***SPOILERS***

Daniel Ricciardo to Red Bull.... Thoughts?

So I'm a little late on this post due to personal reasons but thought I'd share my thoughts on Ricciardo replacing Webber at Red Bull.

First off I agree it is BRILLIANT news for Daniel! I am really chuffed for him, the team will be a great place to show his worth in one of the best cars.

The questions I have are basically this...

Will he get a car to match his skill?
Will he get the chance to show any skill?
Have they chosen a driver purely to be the doormat of Vettel?

I don't mean that in a negative way against Vettel, it happens with all big teams.

At the beginning of the season you aim for the constructors championship and ONE DRIVER to win the drivers championship. Now you can be fair to a point and I believe sometimes all the teams DO do that. If Webber or Massa beat Alonso and Vettel constantly up until the half way point I do think they'd be supported. Personally for Massa the only real team order I've seen with him was when he was pretty much (bar like 1 or 2 points) out of the championship and didn't look like he was going to recover other than in that one race. Webber there is more of a grey area I agree.

Thing is Vettel is their golden boy and we know from McLaren 07 that keeping your "big" name happy is important else you'll all lose out and be in the middle of quite a childish feud between your drivers.

Do I believe Webber or Ricciardo are below Vettel?

They might not be as talented naturally but both are great drivers, I love Webber and think he's been unfortunate a lot of his career but I won't deny that Vettel is naturally much more talented. In fact Vettel, Alonso, Raikkonen and Hamilton (along with Kubica *sigh*) are probably THE most talented drivers naturally in our sport (or who should be here but isn't.... Sadly) at the moment.

Thing is they all have strengths and weaknesses as drivers and obviously the Webbers, Buttons and Perezs of the world have their strengths and on their day can beat the others as easy as they like.

Do we really believe Ricciardo is going to be challenging, or even allowed to really challenge?

Well for point B possibly, I won't judge Red Bull on their current relationship with Webber.

Point A I'm fully prepared to admit that Daniel might have to work a little harder than Vettel to win but I think he could.

So I might be happy, VERY happy for Daniel but for the people telling others this is the best move for him and we as his fans should be grateful......

I'll rather wait and see!

WataMote : Since I'm Not Popular, Summer is Ending

Lament 9

A failed visit from a younger cousin later and Summer break is nearly at an end!

Lets hope something better happens for Tomoko!

***SPOILERS***

Watamote : Since I'm Not Popular I'll Put on Airs

Lament 8

So.... Summer break....

We had to giggle at "You sow, you stink! Not really! Just kidding! Your hair smells great, Tomoko! And it's so smooth! I love you!"

Then when she tried to put it into the sound files of her game and her mother overheard the conversation she made.......... We all cringed for her.

But the saddest part was having to BRIBE her brother (who as a baby wanted to marry big sister) into watching her set off sparklers in the back garden...

***SPOILERS***

DANGANRONPA : The Animation : All All, Apologies Not Normal Arc

Episode 9

Last episode was very sad, we found out the story of Oogami who sided with Monokuma but changed her mind, later on in the episode after there had been fighting with Genocider and Asahina we found Oogami dead in a locked room.

Personally I say suicide, her job was to kill someone if it got quiet, it was a locked room and I don't think any of the people there could manage to kill someone in a locked room, not only that there was a smashed bottle of what could have been acid/poison like Oogami warned Asahina about when they unlocked the new floor.

But that is just me....

***SPOILERS***

Kiniro Mosiac : Who isn't sleeping?

Episode 9

Last episode we had the fun of the school festival. Good times all around!

***SPOILERS***

Kiniro Mosiac : What day is it today?

Episode 8

To be honest I can't remember what our friends were up to last time out but that is the wonders of this show, I can come back now and it won't matter as much as some of the others that I don't know because this week we'll have an adventure (or two) regardless of whether I remember the last one!

***SPOILERS***

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou : Time flies like a Dog

Chapter 10

So the stalker has been punished, we are off to see his daughter who is a new writer and seems to be the one actually attacking Natsuno.

We've ended up at Harumi's old high school where Ami finds him in the Library looking at some sort of manuscript!

What exactly could go wrong?

***SPOILERS***

Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou : There is no smoke without Dog

Chapter 9

All those weeks ago we were visiting the "Holy Land of Blades" and saw Natsuno's plans to spend a romantic weekend with Harumi fail.

Poor thing!
