December 2006

12/3

• Eureka seveN Ep. 32 - I must admit, this show really knows when to kick it up a notch. And with Ep. 32, it did just that. After a few episodes of character (and the Nirvash) building, it exploded again. This time, our friend Anemone squeezes back into the picture...and in the process gets a welcome-back gift in the form of an ass whooping, courtesy of the Nirvash typeZERO Spec2 (yes, it's Spec2 people). She didn't even have a fighting chance, and got bombed in a couple of minutes - well 1:30 (the length of DAYS, the song that played during that sequence). Too bad she got fuckeded up at a bad time, and now she might pay for it because of those stupid ass fucking kids. As for the man himself, Dewey, he trying to fuck the planet over more and in the process to kill us all. And for what? Only time will tell. But overall, a great episode.

• Bleach Ep. 13 - Who knew that Orihime actually did something good for once? Who knew that Orihime had that kind of power? Who knew that this shit is gonna get better? Now this is what I'm talking about. It's starting to pick up, and it did at the right time. Of course, it's still open season for hallows, and still Ichigo and Ishida are still have their little own hunt-a-thon. But now, everyone is being thrown into the mix, including Orihime who somehow used those pins to summon a bunch of small people to protect her. I wish I had something like that...or maybe not because I don't have pins to hold my hair back because I'M A GUY. But anyways, it feels like Bleach is getting into gear.

• Anemone = Ohio State? - Seriously. What does a crazy chick from Eureka seveN and a college football team have in common? Well, so far they've dominated the competition. For sweet Anemone, she's dominated the most recent [as] Grand Character Elimination, winning in a huge landslide. For Ohio State, they've beaten everyone else - except for Florida, who they will play in the National Championship game January 8th in Glendale, AZ. They are also fan favorites among anime fans and college football fans, respectively. And finally...well I can't think of anything else. But congrats to Anemone, because she's on top right now.

• The Fix - Props to [as] for fucked up the Fix, then having the balls to leave it broken all Friday. You know, I wanted to watch Eureka seveN Friday, but no - Part 3 was all **bleep**ed up, and then the whole Fix crashed except for two shows. What gives [as]? Everything was working a week ago. Maybe it's one of those glitches that will be fixed over the week. But given the track record of this "beta" Fix so far, let's hope that they get down the final version soon.

12/10

• Eureka seveN Ep. 33 - Well, about fucking time Holland really showed up after trying to show himself up. At least I give him props for really realizing his mistakes, and his willingness to start over. Compared to the Holland before (like Ep. 20), he's really evolved, even if he is one of the last characters to really show that next step in his character development. By the way, did anyone guess that the GekkoState WOULDN'T disband after he wanted to? There's 50 episodes, so it was really logical to think that they would of stuck it out...however, you never know; they could of really disbanned for a few episodes but then came back. And finally, that "Pacific State" photo that Stoner is developing. I'm guessing that it really fit with the episode title, but either than that, is there any reason why he called it "Pacific State?"

• Bleach Ep. 14 - Meh, just more Ichigo/Ishida fighting, arguing, finding each other, and all that other stuff that happened that episode. At least things got interesting when 1) the Green-hat squad showed up and 2) when Ichigo released all his energy; that was some intense shit. Either than that, it's getting good, but I'm still waiting for the good stuff.

• Eureka seveN Movie - If you haven't read about it on another message board somewhere on the internet, and you're a Eureka seveN fan, then odds are you've come across this rumor that a E7 movie is in the works. There is also a hidden Ep. 51 (although the one done at the Sony Anime Music Festival really doesn't count) and that they're supposed to go off of that. Personally, I feel that a movie is unreasonable. The reason why? There was a proper ending. It's not like the FMA movie, where at the end of FMA there were a ton of plothole questions. With the E7 endning, most of the plothole questions are closed up, leaving a movie only to find out where everyone is. In that case, a 10-15 (or 30) minute OVA documenting all the characters after the series.

• Linksys - Fuck you Linksys. You give me a piece of shit wireless router that I have to fucking configure a million fucking times just so that I can get it right. I'm lucky that the DSL modem I have has wireless on it, or else I won't be typing this up (on my laptop at least). I may go back to it, but after I can set it up all by myself and I don't have to go call India or the Philippines or wherever they fucking have call centers. *sigh*

12/17

• Bleach Ep. 15 - Let me get this off first, since this is way shorter than the other review. This episode is kind of a "Kon coming out" episode, basically him trying to get out in the world - and failing in the process. Either than that, it's nothing else then a gap between what's been going on and what's happening next, because someone's coming after Rukia. If she needed advice, it would be one thing: RUN BITCH RUN!!!

• Eureka seveN Ep. 34 - Now this was mighty interesting. Where should I really start at? Let me start with Talho's "dropping the pregnancy bomb" on Holland. Now, I think we're all wondering this: when in the series did it happen? You never know, it could of been before the series even started, so it could of been anytime...but seriously though, it's one of those moments that somehow work into the overall plot is what makes Eureka seveN distant from all other "mecha" anime. It was also nifty to hear more of Holland's background in the SOF, and his first encounter with Norb. (For the record, it should be Norbu, not Norb. Get it right you dumb fucks [directed towards Bandai].) I said awhile back that I wanted to know how far Eureka and Holland go back, and so far the picture is coming clearer. And now, everything is coming together. But somehow, they throw more curveballs at you, meaning that not everything is still not revealed...and with 15 episodes to go, there's still a ton out there to be discovered.

• Holiday schedule - With the holidays coming up, I really don't know why [as] is turning to a "holiday schedule." Then again, it's nice to see something else because all the other channels have a "holiday schedule." So what is on in the next two weeks? Well, Dec. 23rd is a triple InuYasha movie marathon. I forgot what movies they are airing, but hey it's InuYasha, and unlike the series the movie ACTUALLY ENDS. The week after that, Dec. 30th, is a Bleach marathon covering the first 15 episodes (including the one just aired). Now, I don't know if they will air Ep. 16 that weekend, so I will update you next week.

• E7 in '07 - Now, with the "holiday schedule," you could of guessed that Ep. 34 was the last episode in the year 2006. So, what to expect in 2007 starting with Ep. 35? Now, we know for one that they are attempting to invade the capitol to "rescue" Norb, so at least the first episode in 2007 will come out with the bang. I mentioned in the Ep. 34 review that they throw more curveballs at you - and it's true, they will. There's a lot more to be said than done, and I'm guessing you all have questions going into Ep. 35. Who's this mysterious girl Norb mentioned in the episode? What is really the "Great Wall?" Why do they need to break through it? What does this all have to do with Dewey's plan? How do certain characters fit in, like Renton, Holland, Anemone, Dominic, and everyone else? See, there's more to it...so, expect something great in 2007.

12/24 (Christmas Eve Special)

• IY Marahton - You know what? I'll be honest here: I didn't watch the the 3 IY movies [as] aired last Saturday. However, I do have them recorded on DVR, so whenever I get free time I'll go watch the movies. Until then, there isn't a review for the 3 IY movies that aired.

• Bleach in '07 - Last week, we previewed what would happen when Eureka seveN came back in January after the holidays have passed. This week, it's time to look at the other big asset of [as] - Bleach - and it's future in 2007. For one, Ep. 16 marks the start of the "Soul Society" arc, an arc that many consider to be the point where everything starts kicking **bleep** left and right. My question though is this: how much does [as] have chalked up? I hope that they got enough to get through the SS arc, because if you take a break during the arc like what happened to FMA a few years back, then [as] will get some very angry messages from the fans. But for now, sit back and enjoy the ride.
• Christmas Shout-Outs - Since I don't have nothing much else to say, I'll end the night with some Christmas shout-outs. The first goes to my family, who've taken care of me and loved me for 18+ years and for also teaching me the values of "Family First;" the second goes out to the one I love the most in my life. I cherish her bar none. We hope to be together for basically forever. And finally, to everyone to has read my column week after week after week - thanks for your time and committment. I like to also add a thanks to everyone who voted for me in the AD Regulars Elimination; with the 2nd round starting after Christmas, it's time for us to go back to work and to keep on voting for me. Thanks, and keep on going in life!

January 2007

1/1 (New Years Day Special)

• IY Movie #4: Fire On Mystic Island - So, I finally got around to watching the 4th IY movie on Friday after recording it the Saturday before - you know, when they actually played the marathon. And I thought the movie played out pretty well, especially with the whole entire "ZOMG, I got my butt kicked by these 4 wargods, and now I'm back to kick their butts." In fact, I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what would happen next. It did suprise me - or maybe it didn't - when all four of them got together for one last reunion tour before being sliced and diced by InuYasha and Kagome. Now the funny thing is that they were all getting their butts kicked in that final scene, but the fireflies had to come in and change everything - and I knew once they got in the way that the final battle would be over pretty quickly - and I was right. But overall, it was an alright movie. And like I keep saying, at least it had a ending.

• The New Year - Well, it's 2007 now. 2006 is done for, and now I look forward to a new year full of suprises, adventures, and more Burning. I started the Burning column back in May 2006, so I have a long way to go before I reach one year of Burning. But at least I'm near halfway there. Either than that, it's 2007. That's all I can say for now.

• Bleach and E7 - And after two weeks of holiday programming, we can finally throw away the Christmas tree and party favors and get back to what we've been waiting for - the return of Bleach and Eureka seveN. For Bleach, it's the start of the highly-praised Soul Society arc; for Eureka seveN, it's off to the capitol to retrieve Norbu (I will keep calling him Norbu and not Norb, for the record) and to have some drama that we expect from E7. Everyone's been anxious for the return, and soon enough we can get back to actually talking about real [as] Saturdays. Oh yeah, Trinity Blood comes back too as well, but then again I've lost track of TB, and I'm sticking to my not caring of TB.

1/7

• Bleach Ep. 16 - Shit, I was supposed to watch Bleach this weekend, but I had family over at the house and I missed both airings of Bleach. However, I do have a bleak idea of what's going on, and as long as I know what's going on, then I can miss one episode.

• Eureka seveN Ep. 35 - But as always, I always bring it up the rear with Eureka seveN. This week...well, too much happened. For starters, Holland and Dewey are brothers. And yes, Dewey did go out with Talho (although we don't know how far they went), dumped her, then Holland took the sloppy seconds. No wait...ah whatever. But now the plotline - both the past, present, and future - are coming together, and if you can't see what's in front of you, then you better check yourself. I wasn't really suprised about Renton and Eureka really not fighting...at this point, Renton just wants to protect Eureka as much as he can. And what about Dewey? He thought he was blasting on Holland's failures, then Holland comes back with a "I got the Nirvash and a partner, beat that!" And finally, Anemone...someday we'll all be dead. Just ask Ichigo.

• Sac Anime - January 13th and 14th marks the first Sac Anime, a local anime convention in Sacramento, California, in 2007. And as usual, I'll be there. This means that there might not be a Bleach Ep. 17 review, but I will definately bring a Eureka seveN Ep. 36 review since I watch the Fix. I'm really excited because Spike Spencer, the VA for Shinji Ikari in Evangelion, is a guest for this convention. So I'll be getting my Eva Box Set signed, and I'll also be giving a report next week.
