Reviewing comes with a myriad of problems; mainly you really have to be in the mood to review, also with shows you will often get side tracked to other shows unless you have a group of people to enjoy your reviews. You need reviews for people to enjoy, so it becomes a process of hopelessness and eventual results. I have watched a few shows recently but have mainly been watching Hunter X Hunter, which I think will be my true next review. I may however toss in Ore Twintails ni Narimasu today in order to appease my mind of being guilty over my laziness, though it took me around a month and a half to complete twintails because I kept being sidetracked by other shows which had more enduring plots. Though twintails has a good amount of plot (if you catch my drift). Fuck it today is a review day now. But first I will get back to the subject at hand.
Reviewing is a beast which requires special attention because often times you will catch yourself just enjoying yourself watching shows and wont think to actually ponder the show in an analytical format. This has happened to me a bunch and it leads to me not even remembering what I was going to say about some shows and having to rewatch them, which I only rewatch a show after at least a year has passed because seeing the same thing multiple times tends to sully its view for me. Thus I will begin going through my backlog and attempt to get through my backlog on at least a biweekly format. Around Christmas I am planning on purchasing a microphone which will allow for some high quality voice work, which will hopefully allow me to pump out reviews at a quality which suits my own expectations for myself. On to go finish the black lagoon review that has been sitting since may. (Laptops make reviews so much easier, I would even take a crap laptop just for that purpose"

Update and Upcoming Events
I have been silent for the past 2 months, I realize that this is quite unprofessional and I appologize for my absence to all who awaited more content. This summer has been "busy" for me, which I will detail below. I have watched quite a few anime and rewatched others which warrants a review as they are fairly fresh in my mind. The most recent series which I have watched is Akame ga Kill! which absolutely exceeded my expectations so this is what I will be covering as my next review, from there I will reroute back to a review which I started writing but never finished: Black Lagoon Roberta's Bloodtrail.
What have I been doing with my time? Well that is a question which is a little difficult to answer as I can't even remember some stuff as this whole summer has melded together with sleep schedules being thrown out the window and excessive amounts of time spent doing random things. I began the summer by playing some xbox games but I quickly tired of this and moved to the computer. I then began playing through tons of steam games and keeping up with other games, what really became a defining factor was my choice to buy Counterstrike Global Offensive as it allowed me to meet possibly the greatest friend I have ever met online. We have essentially been no lifing different games since we found eachother in a Counterstrike casual match which I was playing because I was on competitive cooldown. Over time our friendship flourished and we are where we are now.
After we played a lot of counterstrike I moved to no lifing World of Warcraft which lasted on month and had me hitting level cap and being close to it on a few others. After about 40 days of constant World of Warcraft play I moved to EVE online which happened a few days ago or more accurately 5 or 6 days ago, its really hard to tell as I keep staying up close to 30 hours at a time playing while doing other things as I am part of a mining corporation and have been appointed as the broker because I accel at investing our money and making a hefty profit.
I have in this time watched quite a few anime and bolstered my collection a fair amount, including many anime and finishing collecting every single book that has ever been released in the Dance in the Vampire Bund series. Though I haven't even started reading the 5th omnibus yet, too busy doing other things and want something to do in study hall at school. The reason for this is that unfortunately my phone broke and I lost every single contact to friends I had made in the last year at a completely different school which I won't be attending this year. It took about 5 hours to get over it so I am not infallible, though it took me that long because I was scared shitless about what my mother would do when she found out (She can be quite scary when it comes to money). So now that updates are out of the way it is time to list the reviews I will be releasing in order of release. (Dates are unknown as it really comes down to inspiration and not wanting to overload the passing traveler that stumble by this blog on the internet highway)
Akame ga Kill
Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail OVA
Joshiraku
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods
Strike Witches 2
Spice and Wolf (I rewatched it because I bought the complete series boxset)
That is series which I can guarantee will be done in that order as I have finished them. Here is a list of series I am watching and don't know when I will be done, some I have been trying to watch for years.
Ranma 1/2: I watched most of the series when I was in middle school and am revisiting it to truly appreciate it
One Piece: This will probably end when I turn 40 but I started watching it and have been enjoying it
Naruto: I have watched the whole first part of the series 3 times in my life but would like to watch from start to finish now that the series actually has an end. It will just be milked but hey it won't be called naruto or they are lying. Currently I am most of the way through the first part of the series before Shipuden so I will review it when I am done
Gintama: this is a series which I watched the 2 episode special because I heard it was funny and went "this is that Aqua Teen Hunger Force type of humor but just plain hard to understand at points" so I may or may not finish this series, haven't watched more than the special yet so we will see
Lucky Star: I have heard so much about this series and enjoy the opening so I decided to start lucky star and have enjoyed it but pretty much ration it out because it is a type of show that should be enjoyed over time
Blazblue Alter Memory: I decided to watch this after seeing some stuff about it and liking the opening so I am a few episodes in, little depressed that it only got dubbed for 2 episodes because the voices were good for those episodes, high quality compared to most quick cash-ins which I have seen lately.
Trigun: This is a series which has been dear to my heart my whole time in the anime fandom and I am re-watching it on the box-set I bought so I can give it a proper review, I also bought some of the omnibuses for the series.
Asa Made Jugyou Chu! : I heard this was a bad cross dressing anime but it is short and I thought "might as well knock this one off my list sooner than later"
Bakuretsu Tenshi: I highly enjoy the character designs in this show and the music/atmosphere of the show but the character interaction feels barren, very bleak, which is why I am only 6 episodes in so far
Black Rock Shooter: (I can't make a star Icon so don't judge the name not being accurate) I have been trying to watch this show for something like 2 years now and haven't made a ton of progress, usually I end up starting over. I enjoy the shows cgi parts but the show feels just unpleasant at points which makes it hard to watch.
Free!: I have heard a lot of praise from some people as they laughed a lot watching this show. I have seen some hilarious vines involving this show and it seems to have some really nice character interactions.
Girls Und Panzer: The concept of tank warfare on aircraft carriers that hold nations just sounds insane so I feel like I need to check this out. also Girls Und Panzer Tokyo Drift needs to be a thing with that one scene
Monogatari Second Season, Hannamonogatari, Tsukimonogatari, Nekomonogatari: I lump all these into one because they are ostensibly the same series, they have the same characters etc. I enjoyed the first to seasons to I have high expectations for the rest of it.
Hataraku Maou-sama! (Devil is a Part-Timer): I had no desire to watch this show until I saw it with an anime club I hung out with. The show is quite humorous and even made my mom laugh quite a lot when she watched it.
K-On!: I have heard relentless praise of the show where nothing happens: Seinfeld, oh wait that's the show about nothing. K-On! has received relentless praise and has inspired the whole moe slice of life genre along with lucky star. I also watch Joshiraku which constantly compares itself to K-On! and makes jokes about it.
Katanagatari: 12 hours of my life I will spend watching this dialogue heavy show written by the same writer as the monogatari franchise, why don't I just buy the damned book?
Kiss x Sis: This show...oh this show... the dad needs a medal and it surprisingly doesn't appeal to me that much. It is funny, but the fanservice is over the top and fetishy, if I want an imouto show I will watch Oreimo as it is much better. However I feel like I have to finish this because I knew a girl freshman year of highschool that had this is her absolute favorite series.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead: I highly enjoyed the first season of Is This a Zombie? and have been saving the second season as a palette cleanser.
Log Horizon: I began this show while it was airing but it simply slipped by as I watched other shows.
Seikoku no Dragonar: I bought the first volume of this manga and cringed at how bad it was, at least there were occasional tits but even then it was tasteless fanservice. I found out at the back that there was an anime and had to see just how bad it was considering it took the only redeeming factor of the manga and got rid of it making it complete garbage
Seitokai Yakuindomo: I stumbled on a collection of funny scenes from this anime and laughed my ass off, so I have this in here because I will watch it when I blow through everything else on this list
Shakugan no Shana: Oh Tabitha Saint Germain please do more anime dubs, I have been most of the way through this series for a while and enjoyed it a lot. It has many flaws but overall is a good watch.
Space Dandy: (again can't do stars) I have heard praise for this show all around and loved the episode I watched when it premiered, I just don't watch toonami but a few times a year.
Sword Art Online II: this... this show is so bad that I have a whole series where Digibro tried to pick out parts he found to be the worst. I am only a few episodes in and it is just so much talking with nothing going on. Stale air and anvil sized drops of exposition on top of blue haired gamer bait camel toe and a useless villian with more plot holes than tits made of swiss.
Tsukuyomi Moon Phase: This is a series which is fun to watch and was recommended to me for a month before I started watching it.
There you have it, a list of anime which you can expect to see in the future, as a side note always assume there will be surprises. See you in the next post!

Current Events/ Verdict on Watamote
Well it is May and I have been switching through shows quite a bit lately. I went from finishing Blood Lad to watching Bakuretsu tenshii instead of finishing Black Bullet or shakugan no shana or the other shows I started (black rock shooter being close to six months ago). Now i decided to watch Watamote, this was a bad idea...
Watamote so far (2 episodes in) has been depressing to say the least. With Welcome to the NHK paling in comparison if you are masochistic. The difference is that Welcome to the NHK is funny and gives you glimpses of hope while ending on a fairly nice note. Watamote on the other hand is like a bully, it gives you a nice gift only to swat it out of your hands and crush it. It feels like anything good that happens to Tomoko will just result in her not seeing the whole picture or being crushed by something else.
The show actually left me not wanting to watch another episode out of dread. My worst nightmare would be not having the ability to communicate with others, I talk all the time and love to do so. I have to have human interaction pretty much all the time, if I don't talk to someone for more than a few days I start suffering from mental issues. I probably have some pending mental diagnosis coming but that is me, I start to have moments of psychosis and am less and less in reality. Though all I need to remedy this is a persons voice and us to start talking. To see someone that is so far from reality most of the time and can't communicate actually instills a feeling of dread in me.
My ears had a tingly sensation, the kind I get when I don't want to do something. Like my body is rejecting this anime.
So I think im going to watch something else for now. But I really need to get through the 20 shows on my watch list. Maybe I will start Gintama so that I have something to sort of reset my pallet. Like coffee beans at a candle shop or fruit slice at a winery. Something that is completely different and thus lets you look upon it with an unbiased view.
Though Watamote seems to be trying at a comedy they don't seem to know how humor works.
If you see a man trip you will laugh, if you see him trip then break his neck its not as funny, if you see him trip then break his neck then watch a slew of people brutally hit him till he is dead it is only funny to a certain crowd. But if the man is a 90 year old blind person that trips, breaks his neck, cries out for help, is bruatally murdered by everyone around him it isn't funny anymore. You took the slap stick out and made it into a walking stick that is being used to crush the poor mans ribs. This is essentially what Watamote does it gives you a character that has the false notion that she is the most popular girl. You establish that she isn't popular but then hammer the nail whenever you can. She lacks speech skills and when she does speak it is more pitiful than a dying mouses last squeak. Then she is remotely happy and is crushed, then she goes to the only thing that had made her happy and you find out that even that is nothing special and I quote you "no body cares about those characters".

Another note is that Kiss x Sis is also on hiatus. I enjoy some
scenes but overall the show is soft-core hentai.
Also I am once again in ISS which means
watching some anime while reading my Dance in the Vampire Bund Doujinshii
collection. I will start with the latter and move to anime when I see fit. I
can't really decide right now what I want to watch, maybe I will finish Black
Bullet so I can do a review on that, maybe I will wade through the infinite
waters that is One Piece. You will have to find out once I do my next update,
which will most likely be tomorrow.

I failed Sadly
The challenge i set out to do was failed due to a ton of stomach pain set on by sleep deprivation. I will train my body to handle this so that i can stay up as late as i want in the future. I was up for 35 hours when the pain set in and i decided to go to sleep. I was working out that whole time to keep blood flowing. All in all i did about 500 reps with a barbell, because i was increasing the rep size after each episode. I still have more to watch so i will be exercising more. I took yesterday off from doing anything and simply watched documentaries all day before spending 5 hours talking to a group of friends. Today my left arm is killing me due to being punched in it, which i promptly punched the other person back with enough strength i nearly broke a bone. So yeah lifting may happen and episodes may resume but i most likely will just sleep and try to finish the rest in one similar marathon. Until then i will see you guys later (the one viewer currently subbed other than me)

I Am Challenging Myself
Well I am Going to be doing a challenge
Though it is a challenge more like this
Staying up for at least 2 days straight and watching a whole series
So the series I will be watching is the Monogatari series, my friend who often stays up for 5 days straight says I can't do it but i beg to differ. I will watch the whole series. Now he was thinking that at the seasons had 26 episodes which is not correct these are the episode counts:
Bakemonogatari: 15 episodes
Tsukimonogatari: 4 Episodes
Hanamonogatari: 5 Episodes
So yeah my goal is to watch the whole monogatari series with no sleep. This is all to decide wether or not i want to buy this Shinobu figure which is coming out in June.
It is very pretty and cute, it features a vampire loli which i always love so yeah. I will sleep until i get home, then get up and not go to sleep until i am done with it. I will be sure to review each series as i watch it so be expecting it. I know there is more but this is the main series so i am just sticking with it. If i really can't sleep i might toss in katanagatari in there due to it being from the same author.
The series equates to 20hrs of anime, so i am starting right now. See you at the end of bakemonogatari.
