Dropped Sora no Manimani after ep3. It fails the first rule of a good comedy: to make me laugh. 5/10.
P.S. Here is the link for the second OP of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood: "Hologram" by NICO Touches the Walls

P.S.S I’ll probably return to regular blogging after next week, probably…
From the world’s most dedicated blogger
The Dagger of Kamui: A bad Wuxia ripoff. Some tough guy getting revenge while meeting different women. I actually stopped watching it halfway through, something I’ve never done before with a movie. They never made any real attempts to develop the characters. They are just…there.
Saint Seiya-Legend of Crimson Youth: Pretty standard Seiya story. Nothing special.
Yokuwakaru Gendaimahou: Kiddie’s show. Dropped.
07-Ghost: Dropped after ep15. The snail pace of the plot is not the major issue here. Look, I only watch the pseudo-BL animes because they make fun of the hardcore BL animes in a satirical way. With 07-ghost, I’m not really sure if it fits this genre though. Sure it doesn’t have any hentai or male-kissing scenes, and sure it never made it clear that one male character is really in love with another, but the focus of the show is not on comedy (Ouran Host Club) nor action (Sengouku Basara) but rather on the relationship between the male characters. With more and more “Aishiteru” and “Daisuiki, Ted” in the past few episodes, it seems to me that 07-ghost is becoming a real BL show, that’s when I dropped it.
Finished a few, dropped a few.
Kōkyō Shihen Eureka Seven: Pocket ga Niji de Ippai: Many people don’t like this movie, but what they don’t realize is that Holland is the real protagonist here, whereas the antagonists are Renton the douchebag and Eureka the whiny bitch. The story is really about how Holland fights against his own fate. And boy, what a real man he is! Smart, ruthless, great leadership, and the iron will to achieve his goal even if it means to kill two kids. I was cheering for Holland the entire time, and I sincerely hoped Holland would finish off those two little bastards during the final battle. Sure, he was softened up a little bit when he found out Talho was pregnant, but did he give up on his dream? Hell no. The plane in the last scene is clearly driven by Holland who is going kamikazi on Renton/Eureka. “If I’m going to hell, I’ll make sure you two are coming with me”, I guess that’s the central theme of this movie. 100000000/10.
Gake no Ue no Ponyo: I thought Miyazaki’s movies were “fairytales for adults”, not “fairytales for six-year-old”. Guess I was wrong.
DragonBall Z Movie 08-The Legendary Super Saiyan: meh…
Clockwork Fighters-Hiwou’s War: I can’t believe I spent nearly 70 dollars on this crap. The story doesn’t even flow well.
Kokaku no Regios: I like the second ending theme, also the fact that it has ended. I’m also amazed at myself because I didn’t drop this mess earlier on. 6/10.
Sengoku Basara: Awesome pseudo-BL. Love it! 8/10.
Higashi no Eden: It’s good, but it’s missing something. Also the characters are a little bit bland sometimes. 8/10.
第二集莉安陇主动献身的时候就把我雷的不行了. 当时就想扔, 后来听说这片子是讲男主狂收后宫的就没扔, 因为如果真是这样那还满叼的. 结果根本就不是讲什么收后宫, 讲的都是些什么莫名其妙的东西. 5/10. 扔!
Arak Senki is basically a Wataru rip-off, except Wataru is much much better. After 10ep, I just can’t take the stupidity anymore. 6/10
Clannad the Movie is what happens when you combine Ultraviolet: Code 044 and Clannad the TV Series together. Not only did the male lead turn into a douchebag, the animation is actually worse than the TV version! 5/10.
Genji Monogatari the movie is superior to the TV series in every aspect except the story. Maybe it’s just too slow for me, or maybe the story itself is just too boring. 8/10.
Just finished Biohazard 4D Executer. Compared to Degernation, 4D is more straightforward and hardcore, and scarier too. Look, if you don’t have much to tell in a story and you still want to make a decent horror movie, don’t add too much cheese and turn it into a romance like Degeneration, although I’m still not sure where the 4D comes from. 8/10
Coraline, hands down, is the shit. There is no cheese, there is no retard, there is no smartass and there is no bad humor. Basically there is none of those crap that’s often associated with American animated film. Instead, the film offers unique and great animation, errie but not wack characters, and the true intrepretation of evil. 10/10.
