Utawarerumono – Itsuwari no Kamen 06 was so good I had to blog it. I must admit that episodes 2-5 were just plain boring. I mean, everything in this series goes so slow that I just got lazy. But, then, We get this. A true confirmation that this is really the sequel to Utawarerumono. We got Karura, We got Touka… and We got some cameos from the rest of the girls from Hakuoro´s harem. One thing that remains in total mystery is the identity of Kuon´s real mother. I wonder if Eruru is the one. There were many things I like from this episode like the fact that Karura and Touka see on Haku, some similarities with their previous “Master”. We also got a sake competition between Haku and Karura. I knew exactly who was going to win anyway but it was great to see the results. Finally, I just hope Karura and Touka roles are not reduce only to “cameos”.

  I am not sure how to begin to explain my impressions about this. It is hard. It is really hard. I am not a big fan of anime being adapted for live action but then, this is Prison School We are talking about. We will have to wait for a second season on the anime version but We can always read the manga OR watch this. Seriously, I must be really desperate…or maybe I just want to laugh and have a good time…right?     Now, what´s the point watching this if it is the same thing as the manga and the anime? Well, if you ask me, I am watching this because I want to see how the live action staff plays the part and also how they look and compare them with their anime counterparts. Check the screenshots and tell me what do you think?     I must say I am impressed with Hana and Chiyo. They look pretty close with their anime versions. The president and vice president are so and so.  The men, well, They sure looks a little bit exaggerated but I think this is intentional.  For the story, well, it is pretty much the same, but don’t let that fool you as there are some minor differences. For example, There are CGI crows! Oh wow! I enjoyed the “cosplays”, some of the humor…and yes, there is some fanservice, Mild but at least, there were no black spots covering scenes.     For the acting…Well, don’t expect something like “Prison Break” and I did some “face-palming” while watching everyone playing their part. It was embarrassing. Gawd. Well, this is just the first episode so I can´t judge too early on this. If you really like Prison School, give this adaptation a chance and tell me what you think. I will just give it a shot and see what lies ahead. I want to see Hana doing her stuff. That could be the “one thing” that saves this show.

  Let me tell you a little story about this trailer and my odyssey trying to watch this. I got news that this was going to be broadcasted at half time during the Monday Night Football. I have no cable at all. A friend called me and told me that He was watching the game, waiting for the trailer! I asked him if it was possible to record a video of it with his cellphone and send it to me via whatsapp! Talking about being impatient. Then, I found out that someone was doing a live broadcast via Youtube and He was ready to show the trailer to the world. Then, after I finished watching that, I got info that the official Star Wars website posted it online right after the live broadcast! Damn, That was an ODYSSEY!   16,614,575 million views in one day! Now that you know my little, funny story, lets go straight to my impressions. The trailer is the third one and possibly, the last one. We are just weeks away to experience this. This trailer is awesome. The trailer begins with some soothing music, then We get John Williams´ epic sound pieces everywhere. It just sets the mood and involves you in this universe. We see great battles with the X-wings and the Tie-Fighters…and of course, the Millennium Falcon! I just cant wait to see the dogfights and all the action. Lets not forget the light saber fights too. At the end of the trailer, We see the beginning of a fight between Kylo Ren and Finn. Just look at Finn´s face! Kylo Ren just look so badass here! Darn! Many people is asking, Where the hell is Luke? Not in the poster, Not in this trailer. However, I dont care about that, because I know that at the theater, everyone will clap the very moment He should appear. That must be something! One great thing about this trailer events are the fan reactions. Check out some of my favorite ones…     At the end, this movie will be epic (Yeah, I know…Too many times I say that word). I saw many of the fan reactions for this trailers and if the trailer does that, imagine what the movie will do. This should be good!

  After Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works came to an end, I was hoping for a good end where Saber survives the war and joins Rin and Shirou, just like in the VN. It was a wish. Then suddenly Ufotable actually made it for the bluray. I know many might say that this is completely unnecessary but I think it is a cool thing that They are giving an alternative ending, one that can please many Saber fans.     However, my opinion is a mixed bag after watching this. Not complaining too much because I liked this. First, I thought it was impossible to save Saber because Rin exhausted her mana. Guess I was wrong.     I felt it was a little bit too short and also, the ending was just too wide open for the imagination. We might never see more adventures post holy grail war. At the end, this was made just for the fanservice. One thing is for sure…Rin loves sandwiches. Maybe She is going for the next level.

  Guess this anime season is not going to be that boring after all. With God eater and Gate out of the landscape until next year, I thought this Anime Fall Season was going to be a little bit lame. Thank God it is not as We are having Utawarerumono…and it is a sequel!     I have been a big fan of this since its broadcast several years ago. I also played the game way long before that. I thought it was over but guess what, it is not. This is one of Aquaplus important IP and it is a natural thing that They will continue. They launched the game and now the anime. The following are my impressions on the series, based on what I already know about Utawarerumono. There are spoilers for both series, so you have been warned. Since this is a sequel, I was expecting a lot of things. I must admit that I was not expecting a sequel for this. After all, Utawarerumono has an ending, a sad one and it had a closure. There was some special episodes and OVAS but it was a little bit meaningless because the main series had an ending and the rest was just fillers. However, I was surprised that there was a sequel planned…and so, I watched the first episode. The first episode was great and there are so many references to the original series. It is the sequel after all. I was expecting some new elements and there was…However, the shadow of its predecessor was everywhere here. For instance, the main character is called “Haku” and as you know the MC for the previous series is called “Hakuoro” Got the picture? For a moment, I thought Haku was going to have a mask too.  Haku suffers amnesia and He is rescued by someone that looks suspiciously similar to Eruru. Her name is Kuon and She is also the first person Haku saw after waking up.     At some point, Haku grabs Kuon´s tail. Damn, I was laughing a lot before He does that because I knew exactly what was going to happen. As you can see, everything just looks so familiar.  I think the last straw was the post credit scene where some villagers got attacked by an mysterious creature…familiar huh?   However, even with the similarities, there are quite a lot of differences. I think the most hilarious part was Kuon spying on Haku when He was taking a bath…Now, seriously?? Look who´s the pervert one now! The other thing is that Haku has a lot in common with Hakuoro. It got my attention that although He is sort of lazy, He knows how to use his head and find a solution for some technical problems.  Hakuoro was the same thing. I wonder about that. The animation and settings are top notch and I just love to visit this land one more time after Utawarerumono finished so many years ago.  The thing is that I am not sure about the timeline of this series. Are We going to see Eruru, Aruru, or even Hakuoro?? I am expecting a lot of surprises, even when the first episode looks so awfully familiar. Yeah, I know, it is Utawarerumono…The “sequel” but still, I am not complaining. I want to see more of it.

  Thank God this is not the finale. We were expecting them to do the rest of the season some other day and that was exactly what happened. We have to wait until Winter 2016! That means, no more God Eater for this year. That is going to be a hell of a wait! My real concern is that We have to wait an entire season for only 4 episodes. That´s cruel Ufotable, very cruel. I just hope they don´t rush this because of the delays and give us, God Eater fans, the anime series We deserve. Wrap things up and give it a nice closure.     Episode 9 was good indeed. We got great character development for Lenka and Soma. Yup, We got a tsundere Soma, Yikes! The backstory for Soma was good and They show us his motivation behind his will to be a God Eater. Of course, He feels guilty because Soma thinks He is the reason why his mother died. It was basically a Death Wish and fortunately, Lenka show him the way and now Soma has a new perspective about his life.     On the other hand, We see Alisa being brainwashed by his now “evil, creepy, pervert” doctor. From badass to a complete wreck, it is so sad to see her now at this point. Well, it is part of the script and Alisa has been programmed to kill Lindow and for what it seems, it is a direct order from Johann. Lindow will have a serious problem. My question is if for the remaining episodes, Ufotable will bring a proper resolution for this part of the story. I just hope so.     Another concern is about Lenka Utsugi. Damn, Does He really needs to die so soon? They say that it is better dying for something than living for nothing. Lenka took his decision and will try his best to do something worth of his fate. I just really hope He can go on, I mean, He is a great main character. From being a soldier to Leader?! Hopefully, Ufotable might give us a surprise there. Well, the only thing We can do now is wait….or play the game. Your choice. See ya until Winter 2016, God Eater. Who is your favorite God Eater?
