I wasn't sure who slann was so I checked! Didn't really see much of her in the anime (don't recall if her name, or those of the other 3 were ever even mentioned either), so all the impression I'm left with is "yay demonic boobies" x< Which isn't bad ofc! Anyhows, yeah >< I'm sure if I get around to finding the manga that I'll share your enthusiasm!

In other news, Triad released Nanoha A's 12 already \o/ And while it wasn't quite as uber as the last episode (which was really the climax, this was just the clean-up of what was left as an excuse to show off everyone's powers

) it was still quite good fun! All the volkenritter returned as expected \o/ And Hayate became a magical girl too \o/ \o/

Partially merging with Reinforce (as indicated by hair color and liddul wings) in the process

http://matthew.animeblogger.net/screenc ... 217-83.php Very cool <o/ And then everyone goes about beating up the Automatic Defense program, which was kinda pathetic in that it barely fought back at all

But it was mainly a reason to show off everyone using their attacks one final time, and to show some of the powers the volkenritter had which they never got to use before now, Vita did a strong malevolencia impression ]http://matthew.animeblogger.net/screenc ... 17-110.php[/url] and Signum used Levantine as a bow (oO ranged combat doesn't suit her imo, so this surprised me) and Chrono used Durandal to actually be somewhat useful again! So it was all a bit silly really, but very flashy and entertaining anyhows.. I liked the insert song (Out on Jan18th? I think) and the one in 11 was good too, will definitely be getting em when I can

Only one final episode left to be subbed now

I really really *really* wish for a 3rd season of Nanoha, Nanoha A's was definitely one of the best series of 2005.

Not really tbh, just me being weird

Theres a good bit in Chapter 26 involving her, She visits Gutsu and tries to convince him to make a Sacrifice.

Been starting on the new series this year now, so far I've seen ep1 of Kagihime Monogatari Eikyuu Alice Rondo (henceforth known as Kagihime) And Magikano.

Kagihime wasn't that good, most of the characters didn't seem interesting to me somehow.. (though the obviously yuri best-friend of the guy's sister I liked!) And the show didn't seem to offer very much besides fan servicey designs and moments (does having a large key thrust into your chest and twisted around really generate *those* kinds of moans?

).. It's about girls who are "Alice Users" who battle each other with giant keys to steal each other's "Stories" and finish the "Unending Alice" story, and some guy who's a loser (ofc) and obssessive about Alice ends up intruding on the battles and getting to know an Alice user caled Alisu, that's the basics anyhows, wasn't particularily exciting or cool or interestig though so meh~ It's essentially a mahou shoujo sorta thing though maybe more towards a shounen action type slant on battles.. but ofc Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's has just recently done that, and it was freaking awesome, leaving this as feeling just a bore

Ah well, I'll give it another episode anyhows before deciding whether to stop or not (since the next ep seems to focus on the yuri friend! \o/ )..

Magikano on the other hand was immensely enjoyable, A new transfer student joins Haruo's class, but wait is she really a witch!? Well, uh, yeah, she is (duh), but considering she's the main girl in what appears to be a harem type show, she's not your typical heroine.. Actually, she's more like your typical villain, evil, scheming, manipulating and just generally a whole lot of fun

A very energetic fun first episode with lots of laughs, hopefully they can keep up the comedy throughout and not slip into any kinds of generic harem anime pitfalls (though at the moment that seems unlikely since the 2 girls interested in Haruo so far are the above mentioned evil girl who hates him but has to go after him against her will

, and his elder sister who clearly has some scary obsession with taking care of him ("Battle mode" was so lol)) So yup, I liked it a lot.. and when I'm home I'll try to remember to post some pics so that one of you actually watches it too

Actually I have seen it already, just forgot to say so!

I really like her too, though Ayumi still wins for me (the end when she's declaring victory over the bodies of all the other students.. rofl).. Really like Ayumi, the oldest Sister (maika) and Yuri though, all great chars and plenty of reason enough for me to keep watching!

Ahah! I haven't mentioned it in ages since nobody else shares my Negima love.. except kurogane! http://kurogane.animeblogger.net/ unfortunately chapter123 is still untranslated, though 122 is out and it was vewy nice indeed! Ako is so cute <3 Wonder what the scar is about though

Fate/Stay Night has 3 eps out now and imo is looking pretty good indeed, battles are pretty flashy and exciting (considering it's early in the series and they need to save the best for later), though not quite on the level of Nanoha A's were (nothing that blows you away like the vita-nanoha fight in ep1).. Still enjoyable enough, and ep3 was the "explain why everything's going on and have our hero decide to participate" so it should be more exciting from now on (with Ilya and Berserker appearing at the end of ep3 ep4 should presumably be good)..

Rozen Maiden Traumend.. Suiseiseki died too!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And there's apparently only 1 episode left now oO Wtf, is it actually possible to wrap things up that quickly?! It better not suck cos I really liked this series and a crappy ending would be soo meh ><
