Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya

Title: Code Geass: Shikkoku no Renya

Translation: Code Geass: Renya of the Blackness

Synopsis:

The story takes place in the same official Code Geass history as the anime, but in a different era. The title character, Renya, is a 17-year-old boy with a mechanical left arm and shuriken throwing stars as his weapons of choice. The story begins when Renya encounters a mysterious, perpetually young witch named "Reifū C.C." C.C. has appeared in Japan's historical Edo era to seek a new partner for a covenant. Meanwhile, a mysterious man, with a striking resemblance to the character Lelouch of the original anime, also appears with unknown intentions. (Stolen from ANN)

First Impression:

Well, I can't make a good review because it only have a single chapter and just recently translated by some scanlator group. Anyway, Im hype up now because of what I have read over Sankaku Complex. They said that this is the prequel of the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and will  be have an anime adaptation next year, that's what they say don't blame me if there's wrong info there xD.

Since the story takes place in Edo era where they don't have robots or machines, imagine a new war-of-art here. It's all about swords and kunai just like Naruto. Now that I mentioned it, how could they possibly made that steel arm of Renya eh? that's like automails right? Err another struck-of-oddity xD

Anyways, again, because it's CODE GEASS I will definitely follow the manga series until it get an anime adaptation. I know this is gonna be big! it must be big! I wish for boobies too!!! I don't want lolis!

Bakemonogatari Ep. 15 (Finale) - Tsubasa Cat Arc Part 5

Bakemonogatari Ep. 15 (Finale) - Tsubasa Cat Arc Part 3

The whole episode is consist of 20 minutes conversation between Hanekawa (Black Cat, of course) and Araragi, almost 4 minutes of commercial all in all it's a 27 minutes plus episode. Anyway, I wont do summary for this episode because I don't want to spoil some readers so much. Back to what I'm gonna say, as I expected how this series to end, it's Shinobu suck all the powers of Black Hanekawa. I didn't understand much of the conversation because of this many-text-flashes of the series. My nihonggo is not that good either.

Here's my favorite part of the episode. A bit of a flashback in the classroom in episode 1. Hanekawa was talking to Araragi with some activity stuff for their school. If my memory serves me right there. Black Neko nya was speaking in Hanekawa's place and Araragi had different dialouge and playing his pen. Tsubasa is just appearing randomly out of nowhere just like a ghost.

Prince Araragi saves Hanekawa's stress in her family. If you already watched the past episodes of the series you must know why and what is the caused of her stress. It's her family. I feel sorry for Hanekawa... I mean she is so pretty and she got a good body, I must say that as well. She is loyal, I'll add that. She is a dream girl of all boys. Don't know why Araragi !!! Why!!!

(band-aid censored)

(that ain't swimsuit!)

Why we should buy or at least watch the Blur-ray disc copy of Tsubasa Cat Arc is to see if they will edit this friggin' awesome part of the episode. Look it's band-aid! It reminds me of Kanokon, the first season. Those bandage whatever was just hilarious.

Like the part when Hanekawa grab Araragi and lick him on his neck and suddenly bloods gushing out through his neck. That's one awesome gore effects you got there SHAFT. I love it when Araragi is almost to faint and suddenly he remember Senjougahara, how he feel towards to her and it's like those scenes in other animes ... he regain consciousness and scream "tatskite shinobu / save me Shinobu". Shinobu pop-out from Araragi shadows and start bashing Hanekawa. The stunt is superb! Those back-leaps was just awesome. 

Remember when Shinobu went missing and Araragi was searching all over the town. Now we know where she is. hoho ~

Anyways, the ending was .... I don't know ... because I was expecting them, the rest of the girls to gather up and meet up with Araragi or that kind of scene but they didn't! Instead, I only saw Hitagi, Araragi, Hanekawa and Kanbaru at the abandoned place of Meme, do some weird walking. I didn't even get why Kanbaru is there. I wanna see Nadeko and Mayoi too. /cries. Meme is gone for good now. 

My most favorite part because of cheesiness is Senjougahara walking with Araragi doin' HHWW (Holding Hands While Walking). That was so lovely. I must do this with my girl too. It might work. Laugh Out Loud.

A heart-warming experience there in the bike scene. I was expecting to have this kind of scene at the end and yes! they really put it. Hooray !! I love you intimate part <3

Hitagi looks gorgeous here 

And here too!

This scene with Hanekawa crying is strong. I can feel the agony inside her. To tell you, I'd actually cry too seeing her crying like that. It's just too painful to watch ;( Seeing her crying like that with strong personality was like huhuhu ~

Overall:

Yes, I am a super big fan of this show. I blogged the previous  episodes when I was in imeem. The series is really fun to watch. Others said that this series is nothing-less but fan service that's just wrong. It's just that each female character has this appeal which i think is good plus good animation by SHAFT is equals to perfect. At the end we didn't hear much of Shinobu's voice, yehey! we will see Kizumonogatari, if not ... that's just plain stupid for SHAFT not making the prequel or the sequel of this series. 

I have been hearing lots of good things in Kizumonogatari. It's all about vampire stuff and they so-called family tree like. I don't know the term xP. We will know what happened to Araragi, Shinobu and Meme  before Bakemonogatari starts. 

Sounds. The series always change the OP each time there's a new arc. But I still prefer the ED which is Kimi no Shirai Monogatari / The story you don't know. High pitch voice are always awesome.

Animation. Aaaahh ~ SHAFT is very talented in terms of animation. It's spectacularly great nothing much to say ... you can always see the screenshots below. Have fun. :)

All-inAll: A 9.5/10
