Otaku, Meet Thy God

Not a deity, not a god, but similar otherwise: The Machinations of Irabu Ichiro…?

When I was trying to write my first post for Suspended Animation Dreams, I was stumped, since most of the ideas for the posts are those that I want to post here in Rainbowsphere instead of in SAD. So I asked SAD co-writer Digitalboy for a good idea, which he answered with this. However, the notions for heavy self-evaluation and the general interest on the idea stuck onto me so bad, I told him I’d still post it in here rather than on SAD, hence this post.

Kannagi – Crazy Shrine Maidens 2: Gyokuon Attack!

The episode quickly jumpstarts a few manga chapters in comparison, anime-wise. Like, around two or three to one. This discusses pretty much on how Jin and Nagi have their current ties with each other, aside from individual feelings and acts on certain matters. It’s sad it involved some animal death, especially younglings. But hey, it’s told in a near-life perspective, I guess that’s one given I should understand at the very least.

Jin and Nagi take different stands when Nagi finds a pair of kittens near their home. Nagi insists on taking them in while Jin refuses. Nagi was forced to just leave it alone and let nature handle by itself, thanks to a little persuasion from Jin. Unfortunately Tsugumi came in to burst their bubble. I was worried about Nagi getting too erratic due to various chibi moe portrayal.

PETTANKOGASM!

It’s still under canonical circumstances, though. I mean, even the standing gohei trick was there! Of course that Nagi laugh was kinda like, what, but I like the antics made for it. Jin is slowly starting to surface his Ikuto voice too, which is something I was waiting for. Okay, right, I’m ranting about the voicings again. But it’s good, really! Jin strangling Nagi and Nagi doing those grunting noises? I seriously cracked a vile, insane smile a la Warcueid on that. SERIOUSLY!

Word of advice, JIn: DON’T WEAR IT.

Kannagi – Crazy Shrine Maidens 1: Sacred Miko

Ooookay. So I watched the first episode. Not surprising, but hey, it’s good. It’s not like this genre comes once in a while anyway. And it’s got a plot like that of A!MG! too. Goddess meets boy, goddess lives with boy, then more goddesses come in, while a human contender also enters the scene. Quite the norm, I say. But seriously, I was bought by the OP, which was FUKKEN WIN. It’s been a while since I’ve had a fill of good OPs in my anime.

Win OP is win.
