Rozen Maidens 2013 - ep09

Now with everything that is happening, it seems that things are even starting to effect Jun that is trap in the N-field. That with this change it might provide Jun and Kanaria the chance that they needed to escape. The question is the nature of this change and what caused it. Then on the other side of things it seems that Shinku and Suigintou have been waiting for something. It seems that the like between the parallel worlds is link to the phase of the moon. That it is through this link that time is stopped and Kirakisho is able to unite with the body that Jun built. Although it seem that the two are not perfectly united, that more time is needed.

That Shinku and Suigintou need to defeat her before the merger is complete, however this proves to be difficult because Shinku' unwillingness to fight her. The reason being is she believes that the body Kirakisho is using is Hinaichigo's body. That it is through this fight that it is discovered what Kirakisho hopes to obtain by acquire the bodies of the other Rozen Maidens. That she see that the quest to become the ultimate girl isn't in obtaining all of Rosa Mystica but in obtain the trats of each of the others through their bodies. Where she would be all of the others while remaining as herself. That this disturbing agenda is her goal.

Then things get even more complicate with the arrival of Suiseiseki, although it seems that she isn't going to side with Shinku and Suigintou against Kirakisho because the body she is using is the body of her twin sister Souseiseki. This is a strange discison to make because if she can defeat Kirakisho, that all that remains is getting Souseiseki's Rosa Mystica back from Suigintou. That if she could achieve those two things she could have her sister back. However instead she choose to defend Kirakisho. The lastly you have the issue with Jun. The older Jun feels responsible for all that has happened because he put her together. That he ultimately caused this to happen out of his selfish desire to have his own Rozen Maiden. There is also the issue of the N-field gate, that since the two world are connect there is hope that the other Jun with the help of Kanaria could bring Shinku's original body here before her temporary body fails. The question is how the arrival of Suiseiseki influence things.

High School DxD New - ep08

This time around they focus in on further build up of the story, because there still isn't clear the direction the story is going to go in except that there is going to be a meeting between the three factions. Although they give off a lot of background information like the nature of Albion and Ddraig, why they seem to be the only sacred gears that can talk. It seems a long time ago they when the three faction were actively at war, dragon did not take sides we everyone else did. This wasn't the problem it was that when two dueling dragons battle cross into the factions battlefield. That they didn't take well to having their duel being interrupted, the chaos that these to dragons cause force them to call a temporary truce to deal with the dragons. Which lead into the souls of these two dragons becoming sacred gears, that the dragons still do battle but it is through their hosts. That unless Issei become a lot strong very soon then it looks like the he is going to be the next casualty in this long on going feud between the two dragons.

It also seems that there are other problems that Issei has because his Sacred-gear still hasn't fully awakened while also Rias still has six of his eight pawns still sealed. Then towards this end it is reveal why Rias felt the need to seal his power, there is also the point with his potential being sealed is why he has such difficulty using magic. Anyways it appears that Asia is her second bishop that her first was sealed away by the order of her brother. This is probably the explanation to the sealed room in the club house. Although it seems that they have had a change of heart, that they are going to unseal her first bishop. Then this means that they only piece that she has left is her second rook. Anyways it will be interesting to see what this new character is like. However everything currently is point to a future battle between Issei and Vali the question is how will Issei get strong enough to survive this confrontation.

Kamisama ni Inai Nichiyoubi - ep08

It seem for what ever reason they decide to go with a shorter arc, but really there real wasn't much more that they could have done with the plot. It was reasonable that they could have finished last week in a single episode being that all that was left was the escape. However they extend the arc by creating conflict between Ai and Tanya, by revealing that Tanya choose to come her to escape the burden that her powers brought down on her parents. While the other honestly want to leave Tanya wants to stay because of her fear of what going outside will mean. That largely it revolves around Ai trying to convince her to go with them. Towards the end it appears as if Tanya would be the only one left behind in the school. That Ai decides that since Tanya isn't coming she is going to stay behind because she can't let Tanya stay her all alone. In the end Tanya decides to come too because she couldn't let Ai stay behind because of her. This leads to everyone escaping together, that things end with everyone joining up with Yuri but strangely Scar and the baby are missing.

There are some other things of interested that foreshadow future events. The first thing is about Alis that he is going to save the world by destroying it. This gets us into a philosophical discussion about what the world is and there is more than one world. That first you have the physical world, that will still exist even when everyone is gone. That the second world is the world that is perceived by others, that in the end. Each person world is shaped by how each individual see the world. This ask the question what world does Alis want to destroy and how will it's destruction save it. The other issue is that Ai now doesn't even know what she is trying to save when she says she wants to save the world. This is further define when Mantina Hausent allows them to leave without much effort, and it is doubtful that she didn't know what was going on since she was waiting for them. That she is also convinced that they will be back once they see the world. The reason that this arc was so much shorter might have been because the series isn't finished with Goran Academy.

Shingeki no Kyojin - ep20

Initially it seemed like with the capture of this Female Titan that everything would be alright. It seems like this was the reason that the expedition was planned, was for the sake of capturing a human-titan like Eren. It seems that the reason the Erwin Smith didn't tell anyone about the plan was he predict that their was a traitor in his ranks five years ago when the Titan attack Shiganshina. The he manage to get his proof in the form of Eren, this to him proofs that the Titan can spy on them and know when they are most vulnerable. Although way they would know that a human-titan would attack them because of Eren's presence. That with their prey taking the bait all they had to do is survive long enough to make to the trap.

Even thought the plan was successful, they have a problem with dragging the person inside out with their ability to selectively hard parts of their body. This prevents them from being able to cut away the hands to get access to the neck to cut the person inside out. That the plan is to use the reminding gun-powder to cut them out. However when Levi tells the Titan what they plan to do because he is certain that it can understand him. It cause the Titan to let out a scream, which turns out to be an order to the other titans to devourer it. This leads to Erwin trying to protect their prize but there are too many for them to kill. This leads to the apparent loss of their prize, but Erwin suggest that the person inside us this to hide their escape. That is because he is certain that they are wearing a Recon Corp uniform. This turns out to be true when this person bait Eren group with a green round to lure them in and this leads to where to true battle will begins. The question is will Eren be able to turn this loss around for the Recon Corp.

Rozen Maidens 2013 - ep08

It seems that the waiting is coming to a end, that the various story treads are coming together. One of the most important things that the story focus in on is the fact that Shinku's temporary body is on it's last day. That it seems that all the plans were for not, that Shinku is going to fade away while achieving nothing. However there is also the question of the body that Jun was building, although it is clearly for Kirakisho there is possibility that Shinku could take it for her own and get another week lease on life. It seems that this is the prelude, to the appearance Kirakisho.

That everything seems to large revolve around this play that Jun was helping prepare for. First you have the fact that the play is called practical doll. Then through the preparation for the play he is force to use his talents that originally got him reject by society. There is also the fact that the three dolls that the story have been so far revolving around are gathering this play. First you have Suigintou up on the roof looking down on the set with the incomplete Kirakisho doll in Shinku's case. Then you have Shinku down on stage playing stand-in for the doll that went missing. One of the interesting facts is that this doll that went missing was speciously look a lot like Kirakisho. Then from the preview it seems that Suiseiseki is going to be joining the party. The question is how will thing fall when the curtain is raised and the show truly begins.

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi - ep07

Now with the start of the third arc of the series it looks like that is a well defined formula that they have. That each arc is composed of three parts and averaging in the length of most series there should be one more arc of this. However there is no grantee to that assumption will be true. This time the arc reveals around the living, and how schools come in to play in a world that where new people are no-longer are being born into it. That in this world it seem that each school is in competition for students because they receive large sums of money for every student that they have, even going as far as imprisoning them on the grounds. This is what has leaded to Ai being Kidnap by Goran Academy when Yuri was going to take her to one of the few remaining schools that still exists.

This is how she ends up here at Goran Academy, although the reason that she thought nothing was wrong at the school is because of her fathers description of school. However when the others students explain that the school is like a concentration camp, she begins to understand her situation. However when she is about to bring up the fact that she isn't suppose to be here with Mantia-Sensei she is all most shot by her. This is when they drag her off to take a bath, that it is during this bath that she learns more about the other students here. That everyone has a special power resulting from making a strong wish when they were near death. This is also reflect in the theme of the series that if it's a true and honest wish than it would be granted.

That it is during this socialization that Ai meets Alis Color by him blowing open a hole in the bathing house floor. While the woman are prepared to release their divine fury on him. It is this event that leads him into explaining what he is doing is digging a tunnel so that they can make their escape from this place. That it was an accident that he open a hole into the bathhouse. That this leads him into introducing this ghost Dee, however it turns out she isn't a ghost at all. That she has existed since the beginning of humanity that she has given them inspiration when they need it most. That the three of them were destined to meet. This gives us the focus of this arc is to escape Goran Academy.

High School New DxD - ep07

Now a new arc has began and judging from the length of the last one, this will leads us to the conclusion of the second season. Then continue from where it is revealed that the old man that Issei was visiting was Azazel the leader of the Fallen Angels. Then when Rias hears about this she isn't pleased that this sort of thing has been messing with one of her underlings. Although this introduces us into the fact that a larger conflict is on the rise because of the actions that Kokabiel took her at the school. That there is going to be a meeting between the three factions because all parties where involved in the battle. However this is only emphasized at the beginning and at the end of the Episode, the large point is that it works as a filler between the two arc so that they don't immediately drop back into the action.

This is why a large part of the episode is focusing on them clean the pool as a favor to the student council for their help during the conflict with Kokabiel. However in reality it is a fan-service episode that takes the place of the classic beach episode. Although during there are two other addition focuses. The first being Akeno growing interested in Issei, what is interesting about this is that Rias has a problem with this but has no issue with sharing Issei with Asia. Which kind contraindicates the initial image of their social dynamic being very sisterly, and aren't sister suppose to share everything. What it comes down to is the fact that Rias feels threaten by Akeno, and wants to prevent anything from developing further. This situation is further complicate by Xenovia trying to find new meaning in her life since she is now a devil, and somehow this has leader her to belief of her new purpose is to have a child. Then for some reason she has decide that Issei is the one that is going to give her one. Although with all this craziness is seems that Issei dream of having a harem is coming true little by little. Now the question is that, with the tension revealed how is this new arc going to shape up with Lucifer arrival in town for this conference that is going to be happening between the three factions.

Shingeki no Kyojin - ep19

Now as the Titan continues to purse them, what is interesting is that Captain Levi makes no move to engage it. This leads to Eren to question the fact of why he isn't doing anything, and why did they even bring him along if he wasn't allowed to do anything. That the best thing to do would be to deal with this Titan personal. However it seems that everyone else is aware of whats going through his head and what he is thinking about doing. It is then that Levi makes his opinion know that he feels that it is pointless to cage Eren. That in the end he will do what he wants and no-one will be able to stop him. That in the end it come down whether or not he trust them, that in the end it is a matter of trust.

This brings up a flashback of when they were preparing him to use his Titan form. That injuring himself was the key to transforming, but it appears to not be that simple since the experiment end in failure. That it isn't until later when he tried to reach for a spoon that was out of his reach while being injured that he transformed, but it wasn't a complete transformation. This show how delicate the trust between them is, that they didn't even allow him to explain when it is clear that he doesn't know what is going on. That it is later when Major Hanji explains about the spoon that was found in the Titans grip that it was accidental. While this explains that injury isn't the only fact, the main point here is the show of trust. That this trust follow both ways, while they didn't trust him when he transformed. Then at the same extent he isn't trusting Levi to leaded them if he goes off on his own to fight the Titan. In the end he decides to trust Levi. Then moments later the trap is sprung and this Titan that has been giving them so much trouble for all this time is captured. Since it is clear that it is like Eren, they may seek a way to extract to person inside to integrate them. However it hard to say what they plan to do with this Titan.

Rozen Maidens 2013 - ep07

Now it seems that Shinku is regretting her harsh words to this other Jun. The great irony of all this is probably is what pushed this Jun to make the second doll. It's this second doll that is the main focal point of the story, but there is some attention given to the development of Saito's side of the story. That she represent a more positive future because she appreciates his talents, the very same talents that lead him into isolating himself. However she doesn't play a big part this time around but it just happens that this is where Jun finds this picture book that they have been referencing this whole time. There must be some greater meaning to the story since it been making reference to the seven dolls in one, but it still unclear of the message they are trying to convey with this book.

Although whats interesting is the rate at which the second doll parts are arriving, that things are being rush and there is implication that Jun doesn't have much time to complete this second doll. That one of the things is that it's connected to Suigintou because she needs to sleep in Shinku's box because she didn't bring her own. There is also the fact that is lack of sleep has lead her to find out what this older Jun is doing, and seems to implies that he is cheating on Shinku. That she tries to use this to blackmail him into getting him to cooperate with her. However Jun uses what Shinku told him about the Rozen Maidens to get better terms out of Suigintou because what he needs the most is to have Shinku sleep in her box at night so that he can work in peace. That to do this he needs Suigintou to sleep in her box during the day. Suigintou agrees but she doesn't like the fact that he is dictating the terms of their agreement rather than herself.

This to what is going on with to the Jun that original wound Shinku, that he is puzzled by these messages his other self is sending him. That is because they are only a one-side conversation, that some one else is sending him messages while impersonating him. That it is this white rabbit that told him how to do it in the first place, there is a possibility that he is helping someone else to do the same. That it basically confirms the fact that Jun is building Kirakisho body. That Jun being trapped as he is has noway to do anything that all can do is wait for things to play out and hope that his other self realize the trap that he is walking into. That doesn't seem likely since he believe that this Rozen Maiden is his only hope to change his life.

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi - ep06

Now with Ai realizing that Ulla isn't one of the dead, is tries to warn her friend of what is has been doing since she believe that Ulla is like herself. However it is too late to warn her of the truth and Ai herself was almost turn into one of the dead if it was for Yuri coming after her. Then after Ai's near death experience, Kiriko shows up confirming what Ai believe. However he ask her what she would since her power is need for Ulla to existed, that the lie is kinder than the truth.

This leads her Ulla where Ai reveals that she is the “Idol of Murder”, that the people she was with earlier where alive but because she looked at them they are now dead. It seems that in the end what Kiriko feared the most was not the fact of Ulla finding out the truth but the fact that he lie to her. However it seems to some extent Ulla has already was aware of her powers, and it not like she is evil for killing these people. It just that she is removing their burden, and allowing them to pass-away peacefully. That throughout this revelation it raise the question of what is the meaning of death. That in the end Ulla choose to remain in her cage called Ortus, that it is where she can be together with Kiriko.

Although before the part there is one more truth to be revealed, that she has a twin sister. It seems when god abandon the world Ulla's mother was pregnant. That in a world where all life is just waiting to die, the fact of giving birth to new life in this world drove her mad. That when she gave birth is curse the living so much which end giving rise to Ulla ability. However it turns out that only one of the twin accept this curse that the her twin sister Celica reject it and for some reason froze her own time.

Then as they set out on their journey once more, Ulla ask that they take good care of her sister.  

High School DxD New - ep06

In the climax of this arc they built it up in a way where you would believe that things would come down to Issei being force into his dragon form once again for them to finish Kokabiel off. However things end up going in a different direction once Rias fails Kokabiel challenge and the others start in giving aid to finish things. However when with everyone's efforts all the manage to do is scratch him, Kokabiel start drop all these secrets that he is suppose to keep hidden. The reason he does this because he feels it will lead to start another war, which is his desire. While also allowing him to mock Rias while doing so. The first is that at the end of the war, it wasn't just the Fallen Angles and Devils took a major hit but God died as well. That this was kept secret to keep the human in line but there is no more God, which is the main reason the war was called off because there wasn't any point in continuing it. That during this rant he all reveals that Akeno is the daughter of the head-hancho of the Fallen Angels Azazel. This fact is almost as surprising as god is dead.

However at this point is perfectly set up for Issei to transform once again but he losses his chance with the arrival of the white Dragon Albion. Where Albion powers are the reverse of Issei's, another point is that this dragon seems to serve the Fallen Angles where Issei serves the Devils. That in the end it turns out things are still finished by a dragon but by the white dragon instead of the red dragon as things were point to earlier. That it also seems that this dragon master is displeased with Kokabeil because he feels that he went to far and the reason that this dragon is here is to put an end to his foolishness. That this conflict between the dragons also points to a future fight between the two since it seems like the two never liked each other. That with everything resolved there are still a few surprises left. It turns out that Xenovia is Rias news Devil taking her last Knight piece. Then we also find out the identity of this old man that Issei has been hang out with is Akeno's father the leader of the Fallen Angles Azazel. This leads into the next arc which will revolve around how Akeno became a Devil and what her old man wants with Issei.

Shingeki no Kyojin - ep18

Then when the battle with this intelligent Titan finish, they are face with a new problem. That is they have to choose to leave someone behind. The reason being is that during to battle one of their horse ran off while the other was kill leaving them with only one remaining horse, this means that someone has to stay behind because three people can't ride one horse. Although it is almost granted that the one that stays behind is given a death sentence, that it not a question of if the Titans get them but a question of when. However without much hope left they send up smoke around that will alert others that they are in need of help, but with the current state of things they aren't very hopeful that their luck will turn around. Then with the arrival of Krista it seems that not all is lost because she arrives with two extra horse so no-one get left behind.

Then with the ability to rejoin the other, thing the shift to how they are going to deal with the present state of things. It seems most of everyone doesn't understand Erwin Smith decision to continue with the mission, and the change of direction to head to the giant forest. Although the intent become clear later on that the object is to separate the two groups of Titans. The normal ones will be consumed with the thought of eating the last remaining remnants of the squad that are hiding up in the trees. While the true threat will continue it's pursuit of Eren. Now with they way things are shaping up it looks like a repeat of the final battle at Trost, that Eren might turn out to be their only hope of getting out of this mess alive. Although it looks like things might get resolved next episode, with Eren being force to confront this Titan.
