Life Updates

Considering that this is the week before Spring Break, I will be slightly less active until after Wednesday since I have two tests to study for. However, I will be back before you know it.

During early next week, I will be streaming the remaining parts of Atelier Escha and Logy (I have an about two and a half assignments to complete before the ending or the extension although I’m thinking that will happen after the main story is completed) on Twitch. Be aware that there are spoilers, although you will probably won’t understand it since I’m playing the Japanese version, not the recently released localized version. I will give more information on that later this week.

Now, lets focus on the Anime Impressions for this week

Sakura Trick – Episode 9

Overall, I find Haruka calling Yuu on New Years Eve rather entertaining mostly for the fact that Mitsuki has a sudden urge to talk with her. I think it has become more apparent that she doesn’t want to be left out of the girls love. Even so, it’s cute to see her become jealous when she sees Haruka linking arms with Yuu.

Also, it’s nice to see that Yuzu and Kaede getting some more screen time of their own for the fact that they were pushed into obscurity for most of the episodes.

Nagi no Asukara – Episode 22

From the look of this, I think this episode wasn’t all that necessary since it’s somewhat apparent that Manaka completely lost the ability to love anyone. I think her inability to recall what she was going to tell to Hikari already indicates this. To me, she has basically become the new Noe from True Tears as both of these girls lost some kind of emotional ability. Even so, I don’t think Hikari is going to give up on her that easily. I think he will find a way, although there will be a good possibility that someone will finally confess in the process as the situation gets worse on the surface.

Nisekoi – Episode 9

I would have thought that Raku would have a field day being sandwiched by three girls that, but it seems that he didn’t enjoy it at all. Still, the hot springs scene was very entertaining for the fact that Claude switched the rooms, causing Raku having to hide underwater with Chitoge’s help to avoid getting detected. Underneath it all, it shows that she is softening up towards him since he might be the guy that she made a promise to 10 years ago. I wonder how far she will progress until another girl arrives.
