Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

This week (two actually) I threw in some manga (some new and some I’m catching up on) along with anime.

Lucky☆Star ep. 10
Lucky☆Star ep. 11
Naruto: Shippuuden ep. 18
Air Gear: Trick 137-148

Dear lord, this episode has to have had one of the most absolutely random scenes in the series since it began. I didn’t see it coming at all but before I knew it I was laughing so hard that I’m sure I pulled something. Anime Tenchou is the series that got parodied in that scene and oh boy was it so awesome. I was almost expecting to see some projectile throwing from who I assume was the store owner lol.

Lastly, Konata’s mother was very youthful-looking. It makes me wonder just how old she was when she gave birth to Konata. o_O

Very solid episode this week. I felt that almost everyone got a chance to appear and have their time to shine (yes, even Miyuki). Hopefully she isn’t left out anymore because I quite like her character. Her story about Santa Claus made me laugh quite a bit, especially when seeing Konata and Tsukasa’s reactions after her story. Cousin Yui was as hilarious as ever. Shouldn’t she not be drinking till she’s drunk since she’s a policewoman lol? It’s a good thing she wasn’t driving, otherwise who knows what would’ve happened.

Also, it seems as if Akira will be appearing in the next episode. Of the main show that is. I can only imagine what her role would be and if she’ll switch between her personalities if she bumps into one of the main girls lol.

Man. The dragging techniques are getting craftier each episode. The whole thing with Gai was basically to stretch the episode. Though I don’t really have any problems with it since I was laughing pretty hard at how Ten-Ten and Neji were hesitating. Especially Neji. At least they managed to break into the cave before the episode ended and got to see Naruto go into Kyuubi-mode.

After a slow and steady progress I’ve finally caught up to the latest scanlations courtesy of Kuu scans. As expected, the story is taking its time in progress but a lot of things have happened so far. The previous battle between Ikki and Ringo is now over. The victor being Ikki. This victory only comes after they decided to race instead of continuing their fight, because well, Ikki would’ve either been really messed up or would have died if Ringo didn’t use almost all of her strength to stop his own attack from backfiring on himself. So, you can say that the real winner was Ringo.

Currently though, Ikki, Kururu and Agito/Akito are now descending into the Trophaeum after a series of events that eventually lead to the theft of the Wind Regalia. After reaching the bottom Agito realizes that they were set up and are locked into the room they entered. Now, they have Sleeping Forest surrounding them. If I had to use one sentence to describe chapter 148 and the few before it, it’d be this: Shit is getting intense.
