As you have known for a while, a vacation was in the works for a while now. The vacation will last for at least two weeks to Minnesota, Wisconsin and Chicago. Since tethering is out of the question, I’m deciding to marathon few Anime series to keep the boredom to a minimum. I will be watching three series that previously aired last season, which I did not get a chance to watch with the addition of two movies, full with a short synopsis from Melative. (Image Source)

Fractale – Final Review
Traditionally, noitaminA shows tend to cater a different audience as an outlet for creativity among other things while holding a good reputation. Although Hourou Musuko brought out the greatness from noitaminA from the Winter 2011 Anime Season, Fractale was a different story. Fractale was an original concept written and directed by Yutaka Yamamoto who has previously directed various shows from Kyoto Animation and most famously Kannagi. Sadly, the show was a tad too ambitious that it collapsed under it’s own weight, which could explain the reason why the show disappoints. (Image Source)

Gosick – Final Review
When Gosick started airing back in January, the mysteries in the beginning left the glass half. While the show had some interesting mysteries, I felt that the show’s strength lies in the underlining adventure with Kazuya and Victorique as they uncover the secrets of Sauville (Image Source).

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha – Episode 7 – The Aftermath…
Providing that decent subs for Hanasaku Iroha isn’t out yet, I may as well try to complete a very familiar magical girl series that I left collecting dust from the summer. That’s right! It’s Nanoha and hopefully I’ll finish this before watching the movie in the coming weeks.
Since the post I have written for Episode 7 got deleted when I tried changing the URL, I may as well revisit it.
