So sorry I haven't posted in forever, school and boyfriend are keeping me busy and thanks to a snowstorm I Lost Internet for 2 days, I haven't even watched a hell of a lot of Anime either...in fact I'm really behind (Though who saw the most recent dubbed episode of Bleach? Tentacle rape much? My boyfriend's jaw dropped to the floor in shock at a fairly "normal" anime doing that) but I needed to get this done for you guys. Oh and I lost internet this weekend thanks to a foot of snow -.- Fun right? Anywho, for the sake of expediency I'm doin this a little different, I'm only gonna talk about the ones I actually decided to watch, there were none that were horrifically terrible that I feel the need to rant about, so it's senseless to talk about just not having much of an opinion them, that's boring for me to write, boring for you to read. I figure I only need to write about the bad stuff if it's really bad.

This season is starting out pretty awesome just like the first...although slightly less awesome because of how they replaced Hattori. The new guy is sooooooo annoying and he's so happy and enthusiastic about everything like just shut up! Even when Ashirogi Mutou's ranking falls he's just like "oh it's no big deal, lookit this guy, you'll be fine" and his advice sucks.
Other than the annoying new editor though this season is the same type of good as the first one was and now Takagi and Mashiro are actual, serialized mangaka. Shockingly in one episode Mashiro and Azuki actually talk on the phone! Like with voice! ZOMG cuz you know heaven forbid they just talk to each other and go on dates and whatever else like a normal couple. The most hilarious thing that irks me about this is that I really want to read Shady Detective Trap but it's not actually a real manga! lol
Phi Brain:
This is a great one for anyone who enjoys mysteries, strategy and the like, also if you liked Spiral you'll most likely enjoy this. It surrounds...I believe the entire world in which some people are obsessed with solving puzzles, and to this end there is an organization called the POG that makes these puzzles. And see that guy with the poofy white hair, yeah there's something sinister about him and the POG. Now when I say puzzles I don't mean like jigsaw puzzles, I mean like life and death, high-stakes puzzles. One thing that I personally love about these types of anime are trying to solve the puzzles alongside the characters. This works especially well here since the main character, Daimon Kaito, is such an enjoyable character. Of course there's the useless, obnoxious female sidekick, but what shounen anime is complete without one of them to piss you off? In all honesty she's not that bad though, the worst is the guy w/ the red hair and big eye in that pic, I don't recall his name but his title is Galileo and he kind of makes me wanna hit him. This is a really good series though, and I can see it amounting to some interesting things.
Mirai Nikki:
I honestly went into this not expecting to like it very much...granted I barely knew a summary at the time but still, I didn't think a whole lot of it, and yet it turned out to be really quite good. The story surrounds...I wanna say 12 people but I'm not exactly sure how many, people all with these cellphone diaries that can tell the future. All of the diaries can see different things, the main character's just says random future happenings (Random Diary), the female lead's diary, the Yukiteru Diary can tell the future of anything that will happen to the main character, Yukiteru, at 10 minute intervals, some other guys (he's conveniently a police officer) can tell crimes before they happen. You get the picture. These people all have to use these diaries to win in a battle royale against each other. The goal: be the last man of the 12 alive; the prize: become God (maybe Light shoulda done it this way). Negative side though is as cool as the plot is, the two main characters are so irritating. The male protagonist reminds me of Ganta from Deadman Wonderland, sickeningly so in fact. He just whines about everything and whines about how he's a loner but chooses to be anyway and doesn't wanna be in this game, it's ridiculous, like shut up already, please! Then the female protagonist isn't so much annoying as she is creepy, she has a rather soulless air about her and has this stalker crush on Yukiteru. Regardless though, so far it's shaping up to be a good watch.Also for those of you who are surprised UN-GO isn't on here, I tried it, and quite honestly it bored me a lot, nothing like the mysteries I was hoping for.
Thats really it, thanks for reading. Please comment, follow, like the FB page (especially this one, because you guys voted for it and its sitting there collecting cyber dust) Thanks a lot! See you next post =D
