BUU8800 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Gintama 57 Reveal hidden contents So to help retrieve stolen goods two more characters I completely forgot about returned this episode: Mutsu And Sakamoto Boy, Sakamoto and Gintoki sure must be good friends! However, he can be badass when he wants: And apparently so can Shinpachi: Nice...head? These evil goofs were in a previous episode too, hell if I remember though. That said, there's something about their weapon... ...that seems to stand up out. Eh, must be my imagination. I also couldn't help but notice Kagura ate about a metric ton this episode and helped Gintoki beat the shit out of poor Sakamoto what felt like five or six times. Regardless, job well done, but what is this Benizakura Arc the preview seemed to hype up so much? Well, guess we'll see! Quote

BUU8800 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 Cat's Eye 57 Reveal hidden contents Cat's Eye is framed for murder! Toshi, thinking them above murder, is feeling particularly downtrodden by the news: Funny though, considering all the heists and fights they've been through you wouldn't think Ai could still be so visibly shaken by seeing a dead body: A pretty straightforward action episode plays out from there, involving a corrupt politician and his goon. Not the most complex plot, but sometimes it's nice to get back to basics. And of course Cat's Eye emerge victorious over their vanquished foe: Toshi's elation over their innocence was such a sweet note to end on I decided to screencap it even though I couldn't get a shot without the subtitles, which I almost always try to do: Such a deliciously over the top cartoony reaction. Loved the height, the musical stinger accompanying it, and Miss Asatani's reaction. Gintama 58 Reveal hidden contents 0_0 Well dayum! It got serious! Katsura, presumed dead(though not bloody likely): Elizabeth, out for help: And Gintoki on the hunt for Benizakura, the demonic sword capable of devouring souls: Believe it or not, alot of this episode reminded me of Inuyasha. Benizakura just feels like something crafted by Totosai or Kaijinbo. And clashes like this: Between Gintoki and the returning Nizo reminded me of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. There was still comedy of course, Elizabeth's lengthy Golgo 13 reference for instance(and holy crap she talked!). But we haven't really seen Gintoki manhandled like this before: That I can remember anyway. Nor Shinpachi coming in so clutch: He pretty much saved Gintoki's life! This is just the beginning however. Nizo is but one of several enemies this arc will seem to have if the ending theme and preview are anything to go by. That Otsu interested headphones guy Bansai being another. And someone whose voice I noticed sounded suspiciously like Inspector Megure from Detective Conan. Poor Kagura's about to learn this the hard way as she faces who I assume is the big boss. Poor girl shoulda stayed with Sadaharu. And if I'm remembering correctly we've actually met the big boss before in a previous episode.... Nobunaga no Shinobi 22 Quote

BUU8800 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Cat's Eye 58 Reveal hidden contents Well apparently if those street punks are to be believed Toshi looks good in drag. Personally I don't really see it. Hitomi on the other hand looked pretty good in her disguise. Perhaps too good as she soon discovers. Oh yeah, Toshi's got it bad: Also notice Toshi's towel is miscolored in the mirror in the image above with the disguised Hitomi. More on that in a second... You know Hitomi, I'm not sure you're allowed to get pissed at Toshi over this one given the circumstances. In fact, no, you aren't. This was a horrible situation you put him in. Well, at least she kinda acknowledges it. Also her look...gives off a vague Eri Kisaki vibe. Meanwhile... Holy hell Rui! What did you eat to turn blue like that!? Does Willy Wonka know Cat's Eye infiltrated his factory? I love that they reused this shot calling more attention to it too. Anyway in the end Toshi chooses Hitomi over the mysterious stranger strengthening their relationship. The scene is meant to come across as touching, and I suppose it does, but I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge a slight feeling, once again, that Toshi deserves better. Ah well. Gintama 59 Reveal hidden contents The plot thickens: the episode! Well now we've got a general idea of what's going on. We have a group called the Kiheitai. Led by Takasugi, who fought alongside Gintoki and Katsura long ago, hellbent on overthrowing the government. We also learn the Benizakura was forged by the brother swordsmith working in cahoots with Takasugi. And that it's affecting Nizo, causing some inner turmoil in the group: We also meet Inspector Megure, in his lolicon feminist form. And discover Elizabeth was hiding a cannon in her mouth somehow. Between that and the talking eyes from last episode I'm beginning to wonder if Katsura might be...anywho poor Kagura: At least with her spit she's not done fighting just yet: And from the looks of it neither is Gintoki: I only wish Sachan had been with him over Otae, miss her.

blueraven1999 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Gabriel DropOut 6 Reveal hidden contents Satania's great. She's still the funniest character in the show. Love the ED song. Really reminds me of the ED song in Witch Craft Works. Also just realized that Gabriel reminds me of Nagi from Hayate the Combat Butler only she draws better than Nagi. Quote
BUU8800 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Cat's Eye 59 Reveal hidden contents Hmmm...an episode involving Rui's love life: Interesting, we've had Ai love stories before, and of course Hitomi and Toshi, but never Rui. They seem like a nice couple too: And he is a good artist. Though admittedly all I could think of was that scene from Titanic. Rui even snaps at Toshi for unknowingly criticizing a gift he gave her. How long have they had this cat btw? Still, it was obvious it wouldn't work out even without having to keep the status quo. The cherry blossom motif of ephemera which surrounded them certainly hinted at it. At least the relationship didn't end because the guy was evil like I expected so that was nice. They opted instead for Rui deciding her sisters were more important even though they were practically pushing her out the door. In retrospect with the way the episode ended they might have been able to keep the guy around as a recurring character had the series lasted more than another dozen episodes or so, but maybe not who knows? Also, is it just me or does Rui look unintentionally creepy in this image? Twin Star Exorcists 46 Piacevole!

BUU8800 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 Gintama 60 Reveal hidden contents Here we go! After some uncharacteristic padding with previous material Katsura's forces finally launch a counterattack on Takasugi's ship. Giving Shinpachi the perfect rescue opportunity: The Benizakura's overwhelming might is to be feared however: And when Takasugi himself enters the battlefield blood will be shed: Elizabeth! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOoh okay it was Katsura in disguise as I suspected. Lookin badass team: For all of 5 seconds. Still, the final battles are set to begin: And the protagonist returns to the battlefield for his highly anticipated rematch: Can Gintoki vanquish Nizo and the Benizakura? I'm...guessing yes. Frankly only Katsura's fight really concerns me. He's facing the big boss usually reserved for the mc afterall, assuming they actually fight. But we'll see! Quote
BUU8800 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 Cat's Eye 60 Reveal hidden contents Well with April Fools in the title I probably should have watched this one a month of so from now. And with a plot involving Toshi's hitman doppelganger: And Toshi begging the girls to masquerade as Cat's Eye to help in a sting operation, you'd expect some silliness. Surprisingly however, apart from the novelty of Toshi "training" the girls: The episode plays out pretty straightforwardly, at least for the girls. The doppelganger is not really a factor since they find out about and exploit his existence right away. Not Hitomi's finest episode though. She goes from literally karate chopping Toshi unconscious and meekly apologizing to herself just after, to saying she wishes for him to chase Cat's Eye forever, to feeling jealous he was glad the "real" Cat's Eye escaped in the span of 3 minutes at most! It's not like an entire episode revolved around his devotion to you literally 2 episodes ago or anything girl! Ah well. Quote
blueraven1999 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation 6 Reveal hidden contents That was disgusting. I can't believe the freak won. My MAL score is going down from a 10 to a 9 after this episode. The freak got way too much screentime too. If Naruko really stops being a sprinter, I'll be extremely disappointed. Quote
BUU8800 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 Gintama 61 Reveal hidden contents So nice of them to let us know upfront this was the finale to the Benizakura Arc. Anywho...Clash! Gintoki vs Nizo! And it looks like Gintoki has the upper hand: Kagura ain't doin so bad herself! However, when the Benizakura transforms Nizo into a rampaging beast everyone is pulled into the struggle: In the end Gintoki is victorious...by ripping off Inuyasha! Seriously that whole power to protect stuff? INUYASHA! I'm sure this arc made Rumiko Takahashi proud considering how much it reminded me of her work. RIP Nizo, I assume, and Tetsuya, no assuming there. Poor Tetsuko. Well as it turns out Takasugi doesn't fight Katsura afterall...yet anyway. Instead we learn the motivation behind his goal: avenging Shoyo, the man who taught them both and Gintoki: We also learn he's in cahoots with the Harusame via Bansai, who also didn't really fight this arc. In the end Gintoki and Katsura flee after everyone else while warning Takasugi that the next time they meet will be...to the death! In a scene reminiscent of the end of Bleach's Soul Society Arc only probably written first, not sure: So that was the Benizakura Arc, Gintama's first really serious one. Pretty fun, but felt like an appetizer more than anything. Where's the rest!? Cat's Eye 61 Reveal hidden contents Oh boy, now THIS episode was silly. We've got a clumsy new female police officer who falls for Toshi: She's really got it bad alright. I'll admit I laughed out loud when, after she lifted her skirt a bit to reveal some leg to Toshi(who of course ran away embarrassed) we pan to the Chief looking up on all fours. Pervy old bastard. Hitomi was not without her own unwanted love interest however: In the end the two ended up paired up, naturally: Along the way however we got more of Toshi being treated unfairly by Hitomi and being made a fool of. I think this is at least the fourth relationship episode in a row I've sided with him on, but oh well. Poor guy's in too deep now, maybe marrying her will justify all the shabby treatment if it ever happens. For now this sums things up for him pretty nicely: Quote

A combination of not being simulcast anywhere + watching it with my boyfriend who would rather play video games in his free time. Sigh. I used to have no problem with downloading or streaming anime but since I got CR, it's become less of a priority when I can watch it on the TV through the ps4. Also watched Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid 8. Elma is a nice addition to the dragon family. I love that she's an office lady and somehow managed to get hired with no knowledge! Quote

Even Vigne abused her this time! And after last week's frog ending got my hopes up too, this show regresses back to the same old tired "humor." Well that's extremely disappointing. Thankfully only 3 episodes of Satania suffering left to endure. Quote
