Bleach ep. 148
[ BLEACH #148]
Ashido is a pretty strong guy. Though, that’s to be expected when you’re fighting Hollow every day. He already killed a Adjucha-class Menos and then wiped the floor with a bunch of Gillians. Those Adjucha don’t seem strong at all since all they do is attack generically and control some Gillians. If that’s all they have then I really don’t see Ichigo and the others having trouble with them. I’m guessing the others will have some tricks or something that’ll make them more powerful. That or they have an Arrancar on their side.
In any case, I hope Ashido isn’t dead or badly injured just yet after protecting Rukia at the end of the episode. He’s quite the interesting character and I’d hate to seem him go so soon.

[ Episode 1: The New Chairman`s Ambition ]
Ah~, I absolutely love the Genshiken. Seeing all of the familiar characters again is so comforting. Every time I sit to watch an episode of Genshiken I always end up hoping it’ll never end because it feels like I’m right there with the characters attending the meetings and ComiFes outings. Not long ago I was reading the manga up to the volume before the very last and needless to say I’ve been waiting since I read the last page for the final volumes to be animated. There are specific scenes I can’t wait to see and I’m sure all of the characters will be spot-on when they arrive. This episode was a good opener but the next few are going to be even much better. 
Baccano! ep. 11
[ Episode 11: Chane LaForet is Silent Before the Two Mysterious People ]
Yet another completely awesome episode. One of the main highlights was the continuation of the Chane vs. Ladd fight. It was such a joy to behold. Then, all of a sudden, Rail Tracer/Vino interrupted the fight but surprisingly doesn’t try to kill either of them. Well, yet anyway. It’ll be interesting to see how that turns out but I can take a guess at how Ladd’s arm became so messed up as was shown in the first episode. It’s also quite messed up yet intriguing at how Rail Tracer kept on killing and injuring Czeslaw. He knows that he’s an Immortal and somehow knows his full name. Just what is his deal on this train?

[ Episode 10: Czeslaw Meyer is Frightened by the Shadow of an Immortal and Reflects Upon His Scheme ]
This must have been the most exciting and fun episode yet! We get to see how Isaac and Miria became friends with Firo. We also know that Isaac and Miria stole the complete Immortal elixir from Dallas and his goons. The way they did it was absolutely freaking hilarious! Isaac leapt onto the scene like a masked hero while Miria got the goons from behind with a smoke ball. xD I’m guessing that they already drank some of the elixir or will do so a bit later. I wonder what Ennis is going to do since she followed them to that mafia restaurant?

[ Episode 9: Claire Stanfield Faithfully Executes His Professional Duties ]
LOL. This episode “WTF’ed” me so good I just had to laugh. Seriously, the storytelling in this episdoe is a perfect example of what keeps Baccano! leagues ahead of the vast majority of shows this year. I didn’t expect the conductor to be Claire since I thought it was the woman in green at first. Claire, or rather, Vino turned out to be the Rail Tracer. That guy is friggin scary. He tears people limb from limb with his beyond human strength with ease and his agility gives him the ability to move/maneuver in methods that are definitely not capable by a regular human. He’s also close to the Gandor family and can be considered a brother to them. He meets them after getting off of the train and is apparently going to kill someone else now. Two questions: Who is it that they’re going to kill (Dallas, maybe?)? And is Vino an Immortal?
Ladd, as always, is freaking hilarious. The guy is so excited that someone just like him is killing a slew of people. I can’t wait to see what happens when/if he confronts Vino!
Rachel, the girl in the green, worked for that information place. Can’t say I expected that. I’m also wondering exactly who the boss of that company is since he’s always been hidden behind those huge stacks of papers. He seems to know quite bit without stepping out of that office and even knows about Immortals. I hope we get to see who he is really soon. I’m also itching for some development on Chane. She’s such a beautiful woman. I hope she gets the spotlight soon. ^__^

[ Episode 8: Isaac and Miria sprinkle happiness around without realizing it ]
Man. If any two characters deserve to be Immortals it’s Isaac and Miria. Seriously, those two make me so happy and cause me to laugh so hard. Their chemistry is 100% compatible and both of them are hilarious insane. If two people were ever meant to be together until the very end of time, it’s those two. I would say that they should get married but they probably can’t have a normal ceremony because of their thief status. It doesn’t really matter though since they don’t seem to need the title of marriage to love each other and spread happiness and insanity. It was really nice to see how they became friends with Ennis as well. They made her so happy that she cried when she had to say goodbye. Awwww. ^___^
Jacuzzi and Nice were also in the episode and surprisingly enough Jacuzzi finally kissed Nice! I was expecting to see it before the series end but not in this episode. From the looks of things though Jacuzzi seems to be quite the hilariously fearsome guy. He was shooting people while crying in one flashback. That had me rolling in my chair! xD Well, for now though he’s aiming to track down the Rail Tracer as well as deal with the Russo Family, the black suits, and save the passengers. I’m not sure how he’s going to do that with all the insantiy going on but I’ll await to see what awesomeness he pulls off.
No commentsMyself; Yourself ep. 6
[ Episode 6: I'm an Adult ]
Hinako episode! I really enjoyed watching this not only because of its lightheartedness but because I love Hinako’s character so much so it doesn’t really matter if it didn’t contribute to the main story. Needless to say I think she interacts best with Sana with Aoi coming second. Anyway, I thought at first that Hinako’s cooking had improved but the only thing that got better was the color and aura of the food. It still tasted horrible! The entire day with Sana, Hinako, and Shuusuke as well as the birthday had me smiling throughout. It’s always nice to have a lot of feel-good stuff in a series like this. Interestingly enough, I hadn’t expected that kiss on the cheek that Hinako gave Sana. He seemed to be pretty stunned by it himself.

Thank you SO MUCH Margery for resolving all of this EMO.
