Believe it or not, there is only 4 1/2 more weeks of the Fall Anime Season left until the new year…
Site Updates
While this month has been a terrible month in terms of traffic (due to unexpected drop in search traffic) and followers, I’m still hopeful that things will turn around next month as I focus on the end of year posts such as the best shows and games of this year along with the usual 12 days of Anime (being done in 4 posts). Once I finished Pocket Monsters Omega Ruby, I will start writing these posts. (Currently, I’m doing a liveblog of the game over at my sideblog.)
On the other hand, the side blog is now being renamed to Atelier Shiori (redesign is coming soon) and has moved to ateliershiori.moe and using the new moe top-level domain. I plan on moving anything not related to the blog to that domain. In addition, I plan on updating my side blog a bit more in the future sharing some anime pictures I like, reviews of games that are not Japanese RPGs, visual novels or Japanese games, tech related stuff and other things.
Now onwards to the Anime Impressions
Ore Twintail ni narimasu
For a while now, I had a feeling that Tail Red is becoming too weak. This is not the case since Souji finds Owl Guildy and beats him up as Tail Red while spying on Erina. Talking about Erina, she stops wearing twintails in order to rebel against her mother about the arranged marriage. Souji storms in and shared his love for twintails to Emu (yes, that is Erina’s mother’s name), who decides to make him her husband afterwards. While Erina should be happy for this, at the same time, I kind of feel sad for Aika even though she accepted it after a while.
As for Dark Grasper, she naturally got upset when she found out that Thouars lost her twin tails in order to make the Tail Red gear. It looks like there will be a showdown next time. Still, I’m already predicting that Dark Grasper will lose and/or betray her allegiance to join her.
Shirobako
While Aoi’s older sister spends her last day with Midori, she wouldn’t stop sending pictures to Aoi. I admit that it was funny to see her scold her older sister for doing so.
As for Ema, it seems that she figured out how to draw a cat with Iguchi Yumi’s help. Yumi eventually takes her to a place to see a cat in real life. Hopefully from this experience, she learned a valuable lesson to get help when she has difficulties instead of winging it.
