Watched two episodes of the World Only God Knows...ho-hum. Doubt I'll continue it.

In sad news...I'm running out of ecchi shows to watch on kissanime. Waiting for three shows to hurry up and finish their seasons so I can binge watch them...

Strange, that's one of the few worth actually watching.

I just doubt many people even know what that show is... sad, really. Hiina and Mariah are fantastics... and now that i think about it...

isn't Mariah the perfect Waifu?

Waifu poll

Right then, down to business. Since "waifu" is too big of an option, we will have to narrow down the waifu aspects but I don't want to narrow down to a specific anime with the best waifu to choose from (too limited) so I thought we could do age restrictions, eg under 18 and over 18 (it sounds ridiculous yes but most female protagonist are under 18 - high school settings are the most popular anime setting after all) loli and no loli (yes i know what you're thinking, lolicons do exist). I think those two limits will be enough for now. Thats the waifu aspect done. Now the poll. I think the poll that anime trending uses to get votes will be enough for the poll. I guess there will be a box that you can suggest waifus and I'll (or whoever is in charge of the poll) will add it up. I also think there should be more than 1 vote (1 waifu never is enough ( -í-¦ -£-û -í-¦) ). Maybe we could separate them between each year and we could have 1(+) vote for each year. Should i put the poll here in a separate topic? One last thing before I open this up for suggestions, is this a poll to see dust (player's) favorite waifu? I got a lot of other stuff I want to discuss but can't remember it all.
Will need some people to help me do it and everyone to give me (waifu) suggestions.

Touka Takanashi. I don't even need another waifu.

Under 18 is Ayano Sugiura.

Oh, and can I marry Rie Kugimiya's voice? I'll be damned if that's not the best VA in existence.

REVIEW TIME: Maid-Sama
This one was pretty much average. It had funny moments, and was just a normal romcom where our highly tsundere female MC keeps getting flustered around our hunky male MC. For some reason it was seen to make it a 26 episode series which makes watching it almost painful. It could have easily been a 12 or 13 episode series. They just kept making up new ridiculous situations. The show really shined when it was actually following its premise, in which the serious student council president is secretly a maid working at a maid caf+¬. However, it quickly shoved that plot aside. Fortunately, it didn't completely lose sight of it's gimmick, and returned to form sometimes. Still, I can't really recommend it.

School Live - I forgot to mention i re-watched the last episode and made a huge discovery.

It's no longer in question - the teacher is definitely already dead. She probably had a clean death and is just haunting around - but the ***** doesn't have a shadow, lol.

I had my suspicions from the second episode when none of the girls responded to her other than yuki

What do you mean?
Edit: Are you the one with the answer no limiters

This is what made me think she was dead to begin with. Episode 3 they had the teacher and students stuck on the roof as zombies tried to break up there - probably around then the teacher dies.

on another note;

3 cheers for Hayate the Combat Butler Dub!!! 52 episodes of goodness, plus more seasons.

Uh, I clicked on which limiter I wanted and then pressed vote. The poll then ended. I didn't even get to sing the praises of miss Takanashi.....

Y'know I wonder, what it was about anime? I mean, why is it so popular? No other subset of a medium of entertainment has become such a phenomenon world wide. I guess stuff like K-pop, or Bollywood films enjoy their fair share of exposure, but not like anime. It's like, you never hear of people that are die hard fans of Nepalese cartoons, or Aussie cartoons. So why anime? What is it about anime that let it spread so thoroughly?

Another series down!

Strike the Blood

7/10

In a world where demons/vampires/werewolves/etc. exist alongside humans, an island city is built off the coast of Japan to house the various races and try to promote coexistence among them. There is a delicate balance among the Three Progenitors--all-powerful vampires--that preserves the peace throughout the world and the races inhabiting it. However, a fabled "Fourth Progenitor" appeared on the island city of Itogami and passed her powers onto the human, Kojou Akatsuki, who now finds himself embroiled in twisted schemes of those seeking to destroy the peaceful balance that hangs by a thread...

Yet another power fantasy/ecchi/harem comedy mash-up that I found to be more enjoying than not. The MC is fairly generic (i.e. finds himself surrounded by beautiful women but is completely oblivious to their feelings) and his voice sounds...odd. As though a 40 year-old smoker is trying to sound like a teenager. Anyway, the MC is, in many ways, a secondary character to Himeragi, the main harem candidate; much of the story centers on her finding ways to spur the reluctant hero into action (he makes no secret of the fact that he doesn't want to be the Fourth Progenitor and only wants a normal life) while trying to fulfill her role as an "observer" of Kojou--a role that may require her to kill Kojou should he fail to control his powers. Other harem characters quickly make their appearance--the childhood friend, the head-over-heels-in-love friend, the tsundere, loli, etc. but these mainly come off as attempts at humor instead of character-developing relationships; characters show up, MC declares that he will do anything to protect them, rescues the damsel in distress, character fades away into the background, rinse and repeat.

What saves the show is the constant threat posed to the MC and the world around him. We (oddly) never even see or hear from the other 3 Progenitors that are supposedly all-powerful; all of the challenges that arise are centered mainly on Itogami City with the MC just happening to get caught up in the action. Though this hurts the overall storyline, it does keep things constantly fresh. Unfortunately, much of the underlying mystery surrounding the show (Why was Kujou given these powers?) are never answered while the ending only weakly hints at a continuing story.

Animation is sharp, characters are typically attractive--Himeragi really grows on you over the course of the show--and the music is solid. Plenty of ecchi to go around (Japanese girls are all very concerned about breast size, apparently) though, oddly, actual nudity is limited to two quick scenes if I recall correctly. Weird that the show would go out of its way so often to strategically conceal areola/nipples at every opportunity only to reveal them in these scenes which, to be honest, really serve no purpose. A bit of a head-scratcher, really.
