Happy Valentines Day

So, in honor of Valentines Day, I thought I'd post a collection of funny anime Valentines Day cards.
I couldn't find many, but Funimation posted a lot. You can download the full print out thing for free here on their blog. The first five are my favorites out of their selection. The rest I found on Google images.









Happy Valentines Day!

Pandora Hearts [Show]

/SCREAMS.
/TABLE FLIP.
/PTERODACTYL NOISE.

So I finished Pandora Hearts.


/Exasperated sighhhh.
So where do I begin.
Pandora Hearts is about a boy, named Oz Vessalius, who, after a strange event happens at his coming of age ceremony, gets pulled into a strange dimension called the "Abyss". He's rescued by a "chain" named Alice. These Chains range from simple monsters, to complex god-like creatures. Alice is known as the bloodstained rabbit, or B-Rabbit.
Aided by Alice,
Gil,
Sharon, and the ever clever Break,
Oz struggles to learn what happened while he was gone in the Abyss, and what happened 100 years ago at a large-scale disaster that was known as the "Tragedy of Sablier" where there was a huge massacre, right before the entire city disappeared into the Abyss.

One thing I really liked about the show was the whole Alice in Wonderland-esque feel to it all. There's a girl named Alice, a chain called the "Mad Hatter"...


And even a "Cheshire Cat"

Even the outfits were very Alice in Wonderland-esque, especially Echo's familiar blue and white.


But the ending-
Ugh.
Uuuuggghhhh.

My emotions after finishing the last episode.
Don't get me wrong. It was good. It was better than good, it was amazing. 
BUT THAT ENDING, MAN.
U g h.
My ONLY problem was that there isn't a second season. Those 25 episodes are just enough to have you get your hopes up, then bashed to pieces by an angry giant panda as you realize there is no sequel. 
Anyways, this is post is already long enough. If you wanna watch it, it's on Best-Animes.tv. And despite the rage ending, I'd greatly recommend it.

[Insert Title Here]

(totally just figured out I can post a gif ehehhehehehehhehehe)

So I've had a lack of things to write about (as you can tell) so this is kind of an update post of stuff that I'm watching, things I will watch, and just random stuff I'm doing right now.

Recently I've been keeping up with Kill la Kill, which isn't great, but isn't bad either. It's on it's 16th episode, and the story is starting to get pretty interesting.

~
Started Chaos;Head, which is supposedly the "prequal" of Steins;Gate. Unfortunately, they're nothing the same. Plot-wise, it might be. But when it comes to character likability, humor, and design, it's not the same at all. I wouldn't say it isn't good so far, but it's definitely not the same.

~
I found there's an OVA for Another, which I watched while it was airing a while ago. It's really good, but definitaly very bloody. Although for a horror, it's got more plot than most horror shows do (i.e. Corpse Party, which was mostly put a bunch of kids in a room and have them get slaughtered various bloody ways). I've only seen the first 5 minutes of the OVA, but judging by the cover, I SHOULD NOT in ANY WAY trust those adorable little twins. Never. Ever.

~
Sorta kinda started Strike the Blood. I wasn't going to add it to this list because it took me 2 months to watch two episodes, but I feel like I should. It's not as great as it's expectation, and it feels (judging by the two episodes I saw) that there's more dinking around and chatting than actual action and plot building. 50% of the episode: "Oh, we should probably go do this thing and get rid of this bad guy, huh." Next 30%: Actually going and getting rid of the bad guy. Last 20%: "Well now that's done, now what."

~
Well, that's about it, really. I've been reading Bitou Lollipop, and when I run out of chapters, I might do a post. Other than that, there's really not much going on.
