Here's your Dae, up for our usual anime/manga chatting!

Today I wanna bother you with my thoughts on yesterday's Beelzebub (べるぜバブ), first--
These fillers are so bad that they can't even come with a decent conclusion XD
In "Furuichi falls in love", it's so obvious that in the end Johnny-san was supposed to be paired up with him XD But I assume that cutting it short like that was a better choice to keep the episode to itself (how fillers are supposed to)...
Also, I noticed a lack of fujoshiness in the anime, comprared to the manga :/ In the anime there are a good number of Kanzaki/Yuka and Furuichi/Lamia's subtexts... I don't like that >_>
Also, during the "St. Ishiyama Six Knights" arc, Miki obvious man-crush for Oga was removed. All the cute scenes where Miki asks Oga to call him by his name (Hisaya) and the lulzy "GROSS!" Oga's reaction are nowhere to be found .__.
Speaking of the manga, now that the arc about Hilda's memories is over I'm really curious to see what's going to happen :D

• I'm really surprised by how much I am enjoying watching Phi Brain (ファイ・ブレイン) o__o The animation is quite mediocre and the character design is pretty stereotyped and "boring", but everything works so well overall, and the series is quite enjoyable and amusing to watch!
In today's episode, cute Gammon decided to join the enemy so to resolve the frustration that Kaito made him feel about his skills since his first appearance--
I'm EXTREMELY amused by the idea of Gammon as a Giver :o !! I wonder if Gammon has ulterior motives behind this choice; his Kaito's bashing doesn't sound so honest as it should... Is he trying to take Rook's place into Kaito's heart, maybe XD ?
On a fujoshi note, you can tell that this series is good because I can't decide if Rook is the seme or the uke of Kaito XD
---Damn, I can't believe that I can't find doujinshi about it >_<; !!

• About Aquarion (アクエリオンEVOL)... So Apollo's "incarnation" is not Amata but Kagura XDD ?
By the way, I really hope that Shrade didn't die there ;_; There's no way he could ever be satisfied with his life without any GATTAI action with Cayenne ;___; !!!

• Speaking of Takayuki Yamaguchi, yesterday I poked around the internet looking around for some scans/infos on his collaboration with Shizuku Ichigono, Kaika no Susume (開花のススメ), a spin-off of Kakugo no Susume a la moe.
Unfortunately I couldn't get more about it, but that the protagonist is the younger sister of Kyouma, the guy introduced as Raiden in VOLTEX and-- APPARENTLY SHE WEARS RAIDEN TOO.
For what I spotted the art is HORRIBLY MOE, but I couldn't get any info about the contents of the story, and as usual no signs of scans (but considering how pricey Champion RED Ichigo magazine is, I guess that the most of people read it for free in the conbini)... I guess that I'll have to wait the volume release as I did for Exoskull to get more infos about it, oh, well :/

My co-worker says Aquarion is a good series though the title has nothing to do with water. >.>

I should check it out, nonetheless, shouldn't I? =3

Don't know, personally I find it pretty mediocre despite the nice art and good animation... Don't know if you may like it, but it has a similar vibe to StarDriver and there are cute female characters XD

(I'm actually following this because Teap is, and it doesn't feel right if we don't have at least a new series in common to talk about x'D)

Star Driver came second though. Star Driver is like Aquarion. When I first saw Star Driver, i was amazed! It had so many fans and I thought 'how can you not like Aquarion and like this! They're SO similar!'

Yeah, but since Amelia didn't watch the first Aquarion but watched Star Driver I was just giving her an example of what she could expect from it :3

They are similar, but Star Driver had a nicer plot (even if the conclusion didn't answer to many questions!!), was funnier to follow and the characters were WAY MORE well developed (even those who looked stupid and plain turned out interesting ò_o)-- It also came 10+ years later, so it's probably unjust to compare them under such aspects ^_^;;
But yeah, they shared the same "youthful" mecha spirit :3 Too bad for all the "fated" romance stuff =_=

We're not going to agree on this one, so I am not sure why I am bothering but I totally disagree with you! Star Driver was Ok, but it was just Aquarion mark 2 and not as good. Not to say I hated it or anything - I quite like it! But I like it *because* it's like Aquarion. It kinda doesn't exist in it's own right in that way for me. I feel Aquarion carved it's own little niche in mecha, with it's melodramaic approach to all the cliches of the drama and it's attempt at a unique mythology, patchworked together from all over to make something of it's own.

I think that stuff like Escaflowne and the second series of Rayearth did WAY A MUCH BETTER JOB than Aquarion on carving their own little niche in mecha ò_o

In my opinion, the only cool thing about Aquarion is that the mecha combined in different ways, but Getter Robot did that already in 1974...

...But I see that it's your fangirl's "gut feelings" making you talk XD !
It's my prerogative when I talk about certain series that I like too, and I know that there's no way to let your guard down here XD !

Yes yes. It has a uniquely 'big' and melodramatic style, but it's very good. :D

I kinda guess about Kagura before it happened...Amata doesn't have the teeth. :D (I don't mean teeth literally). ^__^

Aaah, I watched it just SO LONG AGO, on TV and with so little interest that I practically don't remember many details about it anymore T__T
--I had an "Apollo vibe" about Kagura when I saw his mecha jumping around like a dog and him sniffling and licking at people, but I was too distracted by Amata as the protagonist to actually consider it .__.;;

The dog-like mecha is amazing; love the way it bounded and moved.
