Hyouka 02 – Review

Hyouka – A mystery series where what the girl wants is more important than the truth

Episode 02 – Activities of the Glorious Classic Literature Club

This episode  brings us to the end of the introduction of new characters and the episode finishes on a cliffhanger (kinda).

Judging from the way things are progressing, we can expect the next episode to cover the main mystery plot of the series.

Extravagant Challenge (Skip Beat! Live Action) – 02 Impression

Episode 02

Yawn… Sadly, the second episode had continued on with the trend of dragging things out.

I find it upsetting that after 2 episodes, the show had yet to cover up till the point of Gong Xi entering the entertainment industry and has lingered on her pre-show biz stage through the addition of scenes that really didn’t give much added value to the show.

Episode 1

After years of waiting, the live action version of the series has finally aired.

I really love this manga to bits and have been looking forward to seeing how this drama fares.

Ouran High School Host Club Live Action – 02 Review

Episode 2

LOL! Tamaki was hilarious in this episode! His actor did a great job! I could not stop laughing! For example, the “Otou-san – daughter” scene and his fantasies as well as massive reactions; like when he crumbled into pieces when his fantasy was destroyed and when he kept saying “heeeee” in reaction to Haruhi being pissed, they were all funny.
Episode 2 essentially covers the ‘Health/Body Checkup’ story and the plot was almost identical to the original story except for a few changes like with Nekozawa being added into the story.

Blood C – 01 Review

Summary

The episode mainly follows Saya around for a whole day from morning until night, establishing her character.

Saya is a shine maiden, just like her mother who apparently died when she was younger. The episode starts off with Saya praying in the morning trying to understand a light(oracle?) that she seem to be seeing more often recently. After her prayer has breakfast at her neighbor’s cafe and then she heads off to school where we get to see her in school as a normal school student.

At the end of school, she rushes back to the shrine where she heads off to kill ‘the old ones’ as she is the only one who is able to defeat them using a holy sword. The episode ends after she kills the old ones.
