Monogatari Series Season 2 Dated!


Monogatari Series to start July 6 which will cover Nekomogatari (White), Kabukimonogatari, Hanamonogatari, Otorimonogatari, Onimonogatari, and Koimonogatari volumes in the anime. The 2nd season will run half a year and will surely have 20+ episodes enough to keep us entertained for the rest of the year.

Mushibugyo Episode 7



Mushibugyo's 7th episode is another plain one with episode 6 being more awesome IMO. I was hoping that the capital would be in trouble when the giant beetle appeared and I was expecting that Jinbei would show to the team that he improved his skills but it was not the case. I'm not sure on when the anime will present surprises that would hook the viewers and put Jinbei on the spotlight of awesomeness because as far as I can see Mushibugyo is becoming more boring now.


One Piece on Hiatus Again


An announcement of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Editorial board suggests that One Piece will not be included in Volume 26 and 27 of the magazine as Eiichiro Oda has been hospitalized due to peritonsillar abscess. One piece will then be on Hiatus and will not ship on the dates of May 27 and June 3 and is expected to resume the following week which is June 10 of 2013.

Valvrave's "Preserved Roses" Gets 115,000 Copies Sold


One of my favorite anime opening this Spring is Valvrave's Preserved Roses performed by Nana Mizuki and T.M. Revolution. The song had a JPop and JRock melody and sold a total of 115,000 copies on Oricon Weekly Charts. The first day release garnered a total of 45,523 which is a phenomenal figure and then ended to the 115K mark barely missing the top spot which is claimed by Kat-Tun's "FACE to face".


Little Witch Academia Bluray Announced


One of the entry in Anime Mirai 2013 was Little Witch Academia which was produced by Studio Trigger. The anime despite airing in half an hour was very much well praised for it's outstanding quality of it's animation and well delivered story. The anime has been released in Crunchyroll and Youtube with English Subs and prior to that Studio Trigger will also be releasing a Bluray version of the Title w/ bonus content. There's no information yet on when it will be released plus a nice listing of what the bonuses are.

Blue Exorcist Episode 15



Rin goes berserk as he finally uncovers his real identity when he fought Amaimon straight on. Aside from the first three openers, this one is probably the most explosive and my favorite ever since the anime aired. The animation and the battle is awesome and the involvement of the supporting characters added extra motivation to Rin to use his demon slaying sword.

Lupin III VS Dectective Conan Movie 2 Trailer


Trailer for the recently announced 2nd movie of Lupin III Vs Conan. Contrary to the first movie special which aired on Japanese Television, this upcoming film will be aired in Japanese Theaters. The trailer doesn't reveal much info but we can see the two prominent silhouette of the King of Thieves and the cunning kid detective.

Hunter X Hunter Episode 80



I hated when they consume a quarter of the episode about Gyro's past which I think will not have a significant contribution in the plot. Not unless Gyro's character traits will be inherited by one of the Queen's soldier or will have a significant effect of the King's trait then I think it served it's purpose well. But aside from that, episode 80 is the mark that from here on wards they will be dead serious in assaulting the chimera ant's nest.


Suisei No Gargantia Episode 7



After a streak of long episodes of fan-service stuff we finally get to see an interesting episode which is related to the plot. So on the previous episode, Ledo met a "Whale Squid", Chamber analyzed that it's 99% related to Hideauze and Ledo went from standby to offensive and finally killed it in the process. But unfortunately, the culture of the people in the fleet is weird enough where they taught that killing one is a Taboo and is extremely prohibited.

Attack On Titan Visual Novel Announced


According to the official website, the first copies of 3rd and 6th volume of Attack On Titan Bluray Disc will have a bonus visual novel game of the same name. Which will cover spin-off stories several characters of the hit anime and manga Attack on Titan.


Blue Exorcist Episode 14



Rin and the rest of the class goes in a trip to practice their skills in the woods filled with demons at night. They set up their base camp before it catches dark by setting tents and magical circles that will serve as barrier from the demons in the area and when nightfall began Rin and Shura took charge of the class by giving them a nice exercise.


Attack on Titan Episode 7



The hottest anime this spring, Attack On Titan, continue to impress the viewers with a new twist on it's plot. Most would probably think that the new Titan who appeared to save Mikasa might have thought that it's Eren. It's the most logical answer after the author killed the the main character which everyone had loved on the early episodes. The most distinguishing evidence that the new Titan is Eren is it's knowledge in hand to hand combat and the pair of green eyes which is similar to Eren's.
