Episode: Da Capo – 13 (Finale)
Flavor: Sour

Well, the pathetic robot stuff has finally come to an end. I’m glad it did since it was just getting dumber and dumber every week. Now that Minatsu is out of the way, let’s look forward to the yet-to-be-confirmed second season (nevermind). DON’T SCREW IT THIS TIME FOLKS.

So, I’ve decided to join the New Year celebration just like the other blogs and write my own posts with 2007 anime series reviews and other random stuff in commemoration of another wonderful year. My first post is dedicated to a series which, in my opinion, didn’t get the attention and the praise it deserved.

Sola (which seems to be a pun referencing both “sora” -japanese for sky- and the Spanish word for “alone) started out, like most of these drama series, as a sort of dull show, with some characters who seemed plain and others who looked like they would end up being annoying. The only good points that were recognized so far were the battle sequences and Mamiko Noto voicing the main female character, but the fighting scenes weren’t that special and a seiyuu alone wouldn’t be enough to save the show.

Episode: CLANNAD – 12
Flavor: Sweet

To be honest, I didn’t really like how Fuuko appeared like that… from nowhere. I mean, I don’t hate Fuuko or anything, but it was kinda annoying seeing her show up for a few minutes in a comical scene after all that stuff that happened during the conclusion of her arc.

Anyways, a few things from Kotomi’s background were explained from this episode, like how she has a childhood trauma because of the plane crash were both of her parents died, and the bad guy being, in fact, someone who cooperated with the Ichinose’s research and knew Kotomi since she was a little kid. Also, I found it sort of surprising that Tomoya met Kotomi in the past but didn’t remember until now… maybe I just wasn’t expecting more of this blocked-memories stuff that was prevalent in Kanon.

Well, hope all you guys enjoyed this episode, since we won’t be getting any for the next two weeks. ;_;

It’s over!

You’ve got to be kidding me.

Episode: Da Capo II – 12
Flavor: Sour

Monday… went to NicoNico… watched Da Capo’s lastest episode… another mediocre Minatsu one. Not only mediocre, but just plain stupid. First all the students were like “oh noes a robot, go away!!”, then Minatsu saves this kid from getting hit by a car and now everybody starts praising her. Huh? Aren’t you guys forgetting about the driver who caused the accident? And why are they expelling Minatsu from school? WTF This simply doesn’t make sense.

Then, after being absent for the whole episode, Koko shows up and f-i-n-a-l-l-y decides to break up with Yoshiyuki YAY… wait, what? Doesn’t that mean the hero will end alone since next week is the last episode? Bad end?!
