Nisemonogatari 10 – notes and the like
To be honest, I’ve been quite disappointed with Nisemonogatari. It was all just fanservice and empty blogging, but only a few episodes had something actually happening. A whole episode devoted to the toothbrush scene? Come on Shaft, I know that it’s important to pander to the rotten core of the anime watchers as well, but that’s overdoing it. Episode 10 is just right. It has the shameless fanservice parts as well, but at least something happens.
Shakugan no Shana Final 22 – notes and the like
Last autumn when Shana Final started, I was naive enough to sign up for translating it. I watched the first series sometime back ages ago when Naruto still had two-digit episode numbers, and it didn’t impress me all that much, so I hardly remembered any of it. I think I’ve seen the second season too, but those memories are lost as well. Point being, I was under the impression that it’s a simple anime with a main character who could be used to define moe and tsundere, some fighting and demons and high school romance. Then the first episode slapped me in the face with a recap of the second season, so I had close to no idea what the hell is going on at all. The next five or so episodes I did before Funimation simulcasted it were much less painful, but I wouldn’t call them easy. Now that Funi derped and I had to translate episode 22, I once again realized that it’s difficult.
Ano Natsu de Matteru 09 – notes and the like
I only have about one thing that actually worth a note, but this episode is so awesome I’ll use that as an excuse to write a post about it.
