Shingeki no Kyojin episode 11

It’s not enough. One episode a week just isn’t enough. How about killing Dokidoki! Precure, Aku no Hana and maybe Yuyushiki and replace all those shows with a few more weekly Shingeki no Kyoujin episodes? That would be heaven.

So Eren is still in the game. He is still an ally of mankind and is now officially fighting for the surviving of mankind as part human and part titan. That old man may have spared his live and agreed to use him as a strategic weapon against the titans, but what happens when Eren outlives his purpose?  He doesn’t strike me as the kind of man that likes to take chances, which worries me greatly. I’m pretty sure he’ll continue to make use of Eren and his abilities until they had time to rebuild and improve their city. Maybe they’re going to rebuild the city Eren grew up in as well, who knows?

Eren has many goals; he wishes to exterminate all of the titans, make a name for himself and to see his friends live a safe live. Quite admirable if you like at the big picture, but his main goal, in my humble opinion, should be getting to his father’s cellar. He’s bound to find some answers there as to why he can do what he does now.

Anyway, Eren is has become a key weapon in mankind’s survival. The general made sure that his best men protected Eren at all cost during his attempt to seal the whole in the wall. It was quite a shock when Eren suddenly attacked Mikasa, so I’m guessing his transformation didn’t go well this time. I can only hope that I won’t get to see many more of these cliff-hangers. The wait is killing me…

Chihayafuru 2 episode 23

So close and yet so far away… It’s getting harder and harder to hang in there. There’s really only one match that piques my interest, so watching something else at this point can be hard if they continue to focus on in so much.

Chihaya’s out of the game, right? She lose to Shinobu, right? Why oh why did I have to watch more of her? I was really looking forward to seeing the match between Arata and Shinobu… So why did Daichi’s match take priority? I know a lot of fans would love to see him move up to A class, even I must admit he deserves it. But, please, not at the cost of Arata’s match.

That’s not all, they even focussed a little bit on some unknown character that was busy with his reader exam, hoping to become a certified reader. The fact that he almost coughed up a lung during Daichi’s match must have cost him that exam.

Now, I am done with Chihaya and her team for now. I’ve been watching two whole seasons of it and it’s starting to get to me. I want to see Arata and Shinobu, nothing more and nothing less. Saving the best for last is understandable, but what about the ending? A match between those two cannot be counted as a proper ending, no matter what the outcome of that match. I can only hope that their match ends next week or during the first ten minutes of the last episode. Anymore and the ending is bound to be dreadful, provided they’re not going to continue the story in a third season.

Shingeki no Kyojin episode 10

Shingeki no Kyojin is truly a scary masterpiece. It’s slowly but surely moving up on my top-five list. The only thing wrong with this show is that it only has twenty-five episodes. It’s about time those higher-ups get around to talking about a second season.

Anyway, Eren! Eren, Eren, Eren… Isn’t he simply awesome? I could watch his transformation sequence all day, no problem. I’d wish he’d have more control, because he could’ve wiped that commander out without breaking a sweat, but I suppose that that would’ve screwed up their plan to beg for mercy and ask for a chance to help them.

I was surprised that Armin was the one to come up with a decent plan. It was reckless and kind of pathetic, but hey, it helped them survive. I’m still a bit mad about the level of trust that Eren has in Armin, even though he almost died because of him. You just don’t send a weak coward out on the battlefield, that’s just a waste of resources.

I’m a bit worried about that commander though. He showed up out of nowhere after he had left that fat coward’s palace in order to help his men fight the titans, but he looks like bad news. He has dangerous eyes and seems to be very calculative. I think he’s going to use Eren to the fullest like he’s some sort of weapon.

I can only hope that Eren will use his powers to protect his friends before all else. To hell with ranking, he doesn’t need any of that. He just needs to keep his friends close, learn more about that power and find out what’s hidden in the basement of his old house. That’s all there is to it right now. Please time, hurry up! I need more!

Chihayafuru 2 episode 22

For the love of… Why? Why did they spent almost an entire episode on this crap? Enough is enough already. They’ve been dragging things out for too long now. It’s probably going to be another corny ending if the pace doesn’t pick up.

So they actually focussed the match between Chihaya and Shinobu. Why? Everyone knew that Chihaya didn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell, yet they still focussed on it. It didn’t matter, because Chihaya still would’ve lost if she played her in tip-top condition. But to spend almost an entire episode on a match where the outcome was already predicted before it even starting is stupid. There was so much that I’d rather have seen, but no… Chihaya simply had to take the spotlight again. It’s annoying when it’s always the same character.

I also don’t see the point of focussing on Shinobu’s past. We all know why she doesn’t have friends. What’s the point of focussing on it? Are we supposed to watch yet another dramatic struggle as Chihaya does her best to become friends with Shinobu? It’s bad enough that we have to put up with her strange idiosyncrasies.

I really wouldn’t give Chihayafuru another season at this point. Just make the last three episodes count by showing us that match between Shinobu and Arata. Perhaps the last ten minutes could be used to end things with a touching party where everyone gets together or whatever. Just don’t focus any more on Chihaya, please.

Shingeki no Kyojin episode 09

Is this love? Could this actually be love? Have I finally, after all this time, ascended to a master-level nerd? God bless you, Shingeki no Kyojin, and all the people responsible for creating something as awesome as this!

The start had me going for second. I suddenly saw all kinds of characters that I didn’t recognize. My mind immediately thought about the worst possible scenario; everyone was dead. I started thinking about the possibility of Mikasa and the rest being killed by titans after Eren’s fuel tank finally ran out. My heart was in my mouth.

It seems that these characters were part of another squadron, a squadron that was sent beyond the walls to take care of other titans. I must say that this Levi seems like a serious pain in the ass. I don’t like to say this at all, but he may be a lot stronger than Mikasa. The only thing that’s good my hopes up is that it seems as though he needs to build up momentum before finally taking a swing at a titan. Mikasa does not, she just kills them using her god given strength.

I was shocked when Eren survived, even more so when he woke up and seemed fine, but what really took the cake was when everyone pointed their weapons at him. They pointed their weapons at the one guy that helped them survived. Are they so stupid to realize that Eren, although capable of becoming a titan now, is on their side?

Meh, I don’t care. Eren can transform at will now, and I must say that his transformation was absolutely awesome. The only one that worries me is Levi, the one guy that’s actually capable of killing Eren. I can only hope that Mikasa is strong enough to take him on, to defend Eren in his time of need. Next week’s episode seems so far away…
