1. Gon and Killua star as the ambiguously gay duo.
2. It's a gender-bender, what a twist! not.
3. It figures out a way to make all of the popular characters make appearances.
4. Leorio is useful in a fight...for like 5 seconds.
5. Featuring Mamoru Miyano's beautiful choking noises as his only dialogue.
by the way I'm totally team Kite, so this was probably the best part of the whole movie for me:

Again!! Manga
Imamura Kinichiro has just graduated high school without ever really having talked to anyone or making any friends, and wonders what his life would have been like if he had listened to a certain girl that asked him to join the cheering club (which is different from a cheer-leading squad). While Fujieda Aki is graduating with a boyfriend and a bunch of friends and wishes it would last forever. Their paths cross and in an accident where they both fall off the stairs they are transported to their freshman year for a chance to do it all again. He joins the club only to find out that the captain, the super-strict, manly, total stick in the mud Usami Yoshiko is the only remaining member, so begins the trials of Imamura as he tries to make a change.
I really truly recommend this manga. Imamura is probably my favorite protagonist ever with the way he's so cynical and unmotivated, yet desperately clinging to any chance to make a change in his life, he says things like they are, has no respect for his sempais and looks like a downright delinquent. The characters are all well developed and it's so much fun to watch them interact. The manga kind of reminds me of Chihayafuru in the way that they're trying to save a club from going the way of the dodo bird, and how it takes the time to properly develop each of the main characters, but of course with less shoujo and more dark comedy.
Once more I may have the novelty goggles on and am probably being biased because i like it so much, but i really enjoy it and i think a lot of people out there might too, as it fundamentally raises the question of what you would do if you had a chance to do your high school all over again with the knowledge you have now.

Blood lad 2
Fuyumi and Staz go back to the human world, wackiness ensues as Staz sprays his saliva on everyone to brainwash them. Fuyumi needs some source of power to stay in the human world and an excuse to cue some sort of suggestive scene:
A wacky treasure hunter lady shows up and makes Staz fight an ogre for a tiger print pair of briefs and what do you know? Staz can use Haoshoku Haki.
So obviously Staz wins in one move, and is the winner of the used ogre undies, but as it turns out wacky lady was just asking for them for the hell of it. But since Fuyumi and her are now BFFs, she gives them a lead on how to resurrect Fuyumi, Problem is, that it's in another boss's territory and that boss is Captain Hitsugaya's long lost twin brother.

Gin no Saji 1
yessssss you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this!
Hachiken Yugo is a high school freshman who decided to attend an agricultural high school way out in the middle of nowhere for the reason that it had dorms and he didn't want to be home. Every other student is from some sort of farming family an is studying to take over their respective businesses, so it's safe to say Hachiken sticks out like a sore thumb. We follow him on his first days, where he faces the challenges of a completely new environment where he wakes up at some ungodly hour to do manual labor, hangs around cows and chickens and horses and finding out where chickens really come from
hint: from the butt |
Apparently, Arakawa was raised in a farm and worked there for quite a few years before moving to Tokyo, so that's where this story comes from, and it shows, as she's very savvy on the particulars of farming.

Free! 2
Errghmergerddd you guys. I love this show. I have such a blast watching it. It's goofy and a little ridiculous and chuck full of fan service that aren't boobs.
In this episode, the guys decide to make their own swim club. For this to happen they need a supervisor, to clean out the pool and a fourth member. As for the supervisor, they get Ama-Chan Sensei since she's probably the only teacher that doesn't hate their guts, oh and she used to work at a swim suit design company. Supervisor, check. Next, they have to return the pool into usable condition and as Nagisa states "there is so much nature!". So they go on a beautiful montage to repair it and bless little Haruka's soul for stripping every time a body of water shows up. Maybe we should all start a drinking game: Drink every time there's a flashback, drink every time Rin has shark teeth, drink every time Haruka tries to get inside a tub, finish your drink whenever Haruka jumps into a pool, a shot if anyone other than him gets naked. Fuck yes, I'm set for next Wednesday. Anyways, pool, check. Now all they need is a fourth member and they are set, unfortunately Nagisa's idea of giving people a years supply of the mascot Iwatobi-chan didn't work, which sucks, cause Haruka already made them all.
But it's all good, cause Rin's little sister agrees to join as the manager so she can help around and stuff and not at all because she wants to ogle Haruka all day long, and with that, the club is all set to go!
On the other side of town, Rin is being all moody and shark toothed and stuff, we find out to what extent he really is a sore loser.
seriously though, what's with the teeth.

I would totally join for like 30 of those |

Brother's conflict 2, Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou 1, Makai Ouji: Devils and realist 1
Brother's Conflict 2
-whoever created this show has absolutely no perception of what it's like to have a brother, much less 13. I'd be more inclined to believe a talking squirrel bunny exist than the idea of so many brothers being that civilized, or that house being that clean. My brother used to grow mold in Gatorade bottles and throw his sweat-drenched shirt in my face when he came back from his jogs. So asking me to believe this is ludicrous and nearly insulting.-what episode will i get to before punching the screen of my laptop? v watching this show kind of feels like a test of endurance already.
-When is the cross-dresser showing up?
-Ema makes Nanami from UtaPri look like Rosie the Riveter. You could probably punch her in the face and she'd apologize to you.
Genei wo Kakeru Tayou
I am so confused at this show. What parts were dreams? What parts are reality?
Akari is the cheerful child of a deceased fortuneteller and her keepsake is a really cute tarot card set. She lives with her aunt, uncle and weirdly jealous cousin. On the day of the anniversary of her mother's death, Someone randomly put in a scene from a tentacle rape porn, and then the cousin was dead? but nobody cared. Then there was a fire at the house where she reads fortunes as a part time job, which was actually caused by a big old fire monster thing. Akari turns into the sun tarot card which only means she stops having facial expressions and her hair grows longer,and with her sword, fails at slaying the fire beast. But it's all good, cause more expressionless girls show up and own the fire creature, which turns out to be a tarot card. And all i can say about this show is "Huh?' everything went by so fast and randomly I don't really understand what happened.
My guess is that the rape scene was all the negative feelings from the cousin, and eventually the egg in her heart will become dark and be marked with an x, then it will personify, give her an devilish cool costume and wreak havoc until Amu shows up and unlocks her heart!....oh shit, wrong show.
tell me this shit wasn't supposed to look wrong |
Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist
William Twining is, as his name indicates, British as fuck. And as the name of the series indicates, a realist.
He doesn't believe in god, elves, faeries, demons or Santa. All he trusts are formulas and his good looks. Unfortunately for him he suddenly goes bankrupt and all he can keep is the house and his sexy butler Keven Cecil. Well they go looking around his mansion for anything that may be of worth, they stumble upon a mysterious closed door. William breaks through it and coincidentally cuts his hand which coincidentally lands on a devil's seal which summons a sexy devil!

As it turns out, William is a descendant of king Solomon, and now he's gonna elect the next demon king or some shit. He somehow ends up in the demon world being served cake by a goat butler, who is like the only character in this show not meant to be sexy. There's a battle scene with Gilles de Rais. You may remember him as this guy:
but with a very slight alteration, almost nothing:
freaking uncanny |
Of course since William is a realist, he didn't believe shit of what went down, and next episode will probably start with him waking up and saying "bloody 'ell, mate that was a right mental dream I 'ad, I 'ad better get me sum tea" or something British like that.
