Well, since I’m bored as hell and waiting for Gundam raws, I figured I’d get another post out considering I haven’t covered anything from Chaos;Head, Toradora, Kannagi, or Tales of the Abyss in… forever.
Tales of the Abyss – 13
Well, I honestly can’t remember if I even made a post about episode 12, but I can’t even remember what happened in that episode anyway, so who cares?! As for episode 13, what the random? So, we find out in a rather sudden way that Natalia isn’t actually a Princess, she’s just some servant chick’s daughter. And they couldn’t have made it more obvious that Largo is the father. That aside, I’m curious how people can possibly believe that retard Mohs. He’s such a lame ‘evil’ guy, I can’t even take him seriously. Please tell me he’s not the final boss.
Anyway, a bunch of random shit happens and they all run away and shit. The important thing is, the next episode brings back my favorite loli from Tales of the Abyss. It’s really too bad she wasn’t in TotA a bit more, might’ve made me remember what the fuck is going on in this series.
Kannagi – 12
As with Tales of the Abyss, I can’t remember if I did a Kannagi 11 post, but if I didn’t, oh well. Nagi freaked out and Jin is confused. In this episode, Nagi disappears and Jin is concerned. On the plus side, we get to see that Zange-chan can kick some serious ass. Best part of the episode for sure. I think next episode is the finale, and actually it’s probably already out, but not subbed yet I don’t think, so I’m just going to wait until then.
Chaos;Head – 11
Well, I know the 12th episode is out, but since I haven’t posted since I watched the 10th episode, I figure I’ll at least make a post for the 11th episode in the meantime, while I wait for subs for the 12th episode. Ok, so, even though nothing is really explained, it’s final boss time apparently. Takumi gets his Di-Sword, is aware of his powers, and then uses them to kick ass. Ok, well, it’s for Rimi’s sake, I guess I’ll accept it for now, but it just seems so… lame. On the plus side, Kozu-pii can talk! Oh and what the fuck… Nanami is suddenly free as a bird and her hand isn’t disappearing anymore. How exactly did that happen anyway? Did they just release her for shits and giggles? Oh well, this mess will be over once I get to watch it with subs and I can put it behind me. Seriously, whoever did the animation for this series really dropped the ball. If the animation were even half as good as some of the other shows I’ve been watching, it would have been much more enjoyable to watch. But no, they had horrible, horrible glaringly terribad artwork. Sigh.
Toradora – 13
Well, I wanted to make a post about this when it aired, but I was feeling lazy, plus I wasn’t sure I really understood what happened. Now that I got to watch it subbed, I’m glad I waited. I really loved how Ryuuji wanted to make up for being such a dummy and wanted to be by Taiga’s side once more. Not that it’s really his fault for not knowing what has happened in the past, but still, it was really awesome to get a “FUCK YEAH” kind of moment from a slice of life anime. Usually I only get those from action/fantasty/sci-fi anime, but when Ryuuji was saying he’d never lose, it was exactly the same sort of feeling of “FUCK YEAH.”
That said, though, I’m glad Taiga’s able to be that strong. It was awesome seeing her say that about being able to stand on her own. But at the same time, it was kinda saddening. More and more now I’m wanting to ship Ryuuji/Taiga, but I keep feeling like it won’t happen. The whole bit by Taiga about being able to live alone, Kitamura asking her to dance, I feel like it’s moving in the direction I don’t want it to move. Ah well, I guess I’ll just have to wait and see, maybe I’m completely overthinking this. At least, I hope so.

It happened because Rimi is awesome.
Anyway, I ignore the animation troubles with Chaos;Head because it’s really the only show from Fall that I’ve been enjoying (I need to get caught up on Kannagi and ToraDora). I don’t consider “sequels” as new shows from a season btw, because I’m almost guaranteed to enjoy them (so I still enjoy Shugo Chara and Clannad).
Ah! But I couldn’t read the ToraDora section because I need to catch up! I’m still on episode 8. Can I catch up with five episode in one night? Haha~ I’ll try to anyway. Everyone is talking about episode 13 and I need to watch it.

Hiya! I hope you don’t mean the direction Toradora going is Kitamura/Taiga. I am for one completely against the pairing. I thought that episode of ToraDora is leaning more towards Taiga/Ryuuji and Kitamura/President. And I can’t blame it on my pairing spectacles since I am a 100% Taiga/Ami fan even if I know it won’t happen. :)
I am totally behind for VK Guilty. That’s where my catching up to do must go. ^_^;;

Fuyu: You can do it, you have the technology! Sorry, I had to… posting two minutes after waking up = rly bad lol
Minnie: Well, I kinda felt like it was going that way. I mean, Taiga’s saying she can stand on her own (which would mean she feels like she doesn’t really need Ryuuji), Minorin and Ryuuji are getting all buddy buddy, Kitamura is too hard to read, he obviously has a thing for the prez, but she’s gonna be gone, and he’s still being friendly with Taiga. Either he’s being a dick and leading Taiga on, or maybe he hasn’t entirely gotten over Taiga.
Minnie said
About him leading Taiga on, that is totally true. Maybe that is why Kitamura is my least favorite character? :P Like I said, I don’t mind any pairing with Ryuuji (even Minori/Ryuuji), I just don’t want Kitamura/Taiga. >__< Thanks for the respond~

I’ll spare you the torment and say, no, that asshole Mohs is not the final boss. Shouldn’t it be obvious who the final boss is after episode 8?
nazarielle said
Oh yeah, duh, Van. I guess he doesn’t feel like much of a final boss either though, haha
