Just watched Gonzo’s new anime on YouTube (The one on Crunchyroll got pulled for some reason.) and I could probably sum it up in 3 words; random, cliched and hilarious.
Jin, I am your father
From the opening, the anime looks like another high school romance drama, but that’s the last we see of that in this episode. All the cliched bits are actually when the “hero” Jin gets knocked out during a battle. I didn’t really mind them at all, and it was funny to see those old cliched parodies, but I really hope this is the last of it. I just can’t see myself (or anyone else) watching a whole season of that.
A lot of people will probably be thinking, “WTF, BBQ?!” after watching this episode, but that just makes me curious to see what happens next.
BLASSREITER is another new anime from Gonzo this Spring. It’s set in a future Germany where spirits, called Demoniacs, are able to assimilate with machines and other objects.
I thought the first half of the anime was a bit too drawn out. I don’t think they needed to spend that much time highlighting the fact that Gerd was God on a motorcycle. The second half was much more interesting, especially the capture scene. I didn’t like how they introduced the female scientist out of the blue, though. It was just too abrupt. Hopefully they’ll do a background episode on her and what her motivation is for giving him the drug. But then again, looking at what Gerd turned into, the Demoniacs are probably human experimentations of the drug that have gone wrong, and they’re using him to clean up their mess. Let’s hope there’s more to it than that.
Overall, I’m not impressed by the quality of the story. It’s just not interesting enough from what was introduced in this episode. Still, I hope they show more about the Demoniacs in the coming episodes and their origins.
Yoroshiku Fansubs have picked up Chi’s Sweet Home and have been releasing daily since last week.
Chi\'s Sweet Home
Chi is so cute and sweet! If you love cats, then you definitely must watch this anime. The plot is pretty light and aimed at pre-schoolers, with each episode only about 3 minutes long sans CMs. Still, for a quick injection of cute and uber happiness, Chi’s Sweet Home is worth every second.
I've always wondered what the scientific explanation was, but Filipinos don't seem to have any problems handling copious amounts of b33r though. lol Lucky me!
Sometimes as software developers, we forget about the user and get caught up in using cutting edge tools and technologies. The user doesn't care what we program in, as long as it does what is needed and it saves them time. This is a great reminder.
