Despite Gen being a bit of a grouch. I do relate to him just wanting to be left alone. I love just how laid back and chill #solocampingfortwo really is.

I didn't think too much of Shizuku at first, being bit of a gremlin to Gen. However, despite their age gap and personality traits, she is the perfect foil for him. And she has grown on me. I love how these two enjoy the outdoors, just soaking in and touching grass.

Madan no Ou to Vanadis Episode 07

Roland decides to challenge her. With a mighty swing of Durandal, he breaks Sofy magical barrier. This in turn shocks Sofy. She has a small scuffle with Roland. But she uses one of her abilities to teleport away. Mashas turns up and drives Roland and his men away. It turns out that Mashas was held up in the capital, by some assassins. It was only due to Sofy untimely appearance, that was she able to help Mashas. It is also to be noted, the king of Brune has lost his mind with grief. Thenardier and Ganelon are aware of this, and have ultimately taken over the castle. Issuing out orders “under the kings name”. They are the ones responsible for setting Roland on Tigre. Elen attention diverts back to Tigre. He isn’t doing well, on top of his injury he has developed a fever. Titta is nursing him the best she can.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Episode 1 review: Being reborn as an undead

Reign of the seven spell blades Episode 1: HP the anime

Thenardier has sent out a force to take control of Alsace. Roland is suspicious of this behaviour. But proceeds with the “order” anyway. Tigre has shown signs of recovery. Whilst not fully healed, he heads out with Titta to some field. The black bow takes them to a hidden temple. Elen and co head out to face Roland once again. Leaving behind all their injured soldiers. Roland decides to use a crescent formation, this way they can chip away at Elens formation. Back at the temple, Tigre and Titta stumble upon a carving of a woman. Titta recognises her as Tir na Fa. A goddess.

Point of interest:

• Tir is the goddess of night, darkness and death
• The bow may come from her, as she is the one that has holds certain power over it
• Roland broke through Ley admos
• Sofy and Elen teamed up to face Roland
• Roland is the only adversary that faced two vanadis on equal footing

Tir is now testing Tigre with the bow. She wants Tigre to shoot Tir/Titta. If he does and the bow acknowledges him, then she will give him power. Tigre has no choice, so he takes up his bow against his childhood friend and maid. Tigre takes aim, but as always decides he rather have their clothes ripped to shreds and not kill them. Tigre is riding in to battle. Roland somehow frees himself from Ley Admos. Shocking both Sofy and Elen. Tigre launches an arrow from a great distance, surprising Roland. Who is astonished by the distance he fired it from. Roland questions Tigre about the treaty of Zchted and Alsace. Tigre wound has opened up again, this concerns Elen greatly. But aids him in firing a shot to Roland to settle the score. Roland is defeated.

With the show now speeding along, we get to see Tigre becoming more of a lead MC. We do see just how strong Roland really is. As he easily faced Sofy and Elen head on and almost beat them, if it were not the timely intervention of Tigre. However Roland still takes the lead as the main man here, Tigre is just a boy -joke-. The fight was okay, nothing outstanding. The introduction of the goddess was an interesting point. How much of an influence she will play in the series, only time will tell.

Summer Pockets: A sunlit journey of memories and romance

https://i.imgur.com/8ZGeeeG.mp4

Summer Pockets is set on an isolated, rural and peaceful island on the Seto Inland Sea called Torishirojima, which has a population of about 2,000 people. The protagonist is Hairi Takahara, a young man not native to the island. Hairi grew up in an urban setting, but after an unpleasant incident he uses the recent death of his grandmother as an excuse to come to the island to take care of her estate sale. Once there, he gets to know four girls who are the focus of the story. They include Shiroha Naruse, who forgot her summer vacation; Ao Sorakado, who is pursuing the legends of the island; Kamome Kushima, a high-class girl looking for a pirate ship; and Tsumugi Wenders, a younger girl trying to find herself

Anime-Planet

Summer memories and adventures await

It’s been a very long time since I last watched anything from Keys, that one being Charlotte. And that’s the only series I’ve watched from them. So, having another go with Summer pockets is one I found interesting. Summer pocket is pretty much your quintessential Key visual novel. And this is what’s this is based on, granted I haven’t played the visual novel, so I’m going in blind.

Honestly, nothing much happens in the 3 episodes I’ve watched, if anything happens at all. And that’s fine, I found myself thinking summer pockets picked the wrong season to be airing, as the namesake is far more suited to the summer season. As it really does have that summer vibe to it. The art scenery is gorgeous.

I’m guessing the show’s premises is finding or rather re-finding lost youth, as Takahara struggled with something in his life and is here to find himself. Along the way some love interests in basically a harem. Usually, I’d leave this at the would I still watch it section but will mention it here. This show makes a very nice Sunday viewing, imo.

Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?: First Impression

Takahara Hairi is your typical male lead. I do think he is somewhat left blank, since he is the main lead in the visual novel so his personality is very typical of visual novel leads – if that makes sense at all. His history over at the mainland is interesting, he has some history being part of the swimming team, whilst not living up to swim team, has caused him to have some trauma. So, he is chilling on the island and finding which girl he can add to his growing harem. He may have some connection or memories to the island, as there are subtle hints.

Shiroha Naruse I’d say is the main girl for the anime. As Takahara has a bit more interaction with her or run ins with her at least. She seems to like swimming just like Takahara. She is the most mysterious one from the looks of it. Her personality is okay, I found. Other than that, not much else.

Would I continue watching?

Yeah, I’d continue with it. Makes a very pleasant Sunday viewing.

Madan no Ou to Vanadis Episode 06

The siege on Tatara citadel is going to plan, Elen is leading the charge.  As the two start to battle one another, Tigre is reminded the stark difference between him and them. In terms of power and skill. The battle was a fierce one, but in the end it ended as a stalemate. But before either one could continue their fight, an assassin made his way to both maidens. Tigre killed him with a shot to the head. For his troubles, Mila deducted that he was Urs. And proceeded to give him a slap to the face. Tigre and Mila patched up their difference. Mila declared neutrality, thus ending the 80-year connection between her family and Thenardier.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Episode 1 review: Being reborn as an undead

Reign of the seven spell blades Episode 1: HP the anime

A month has passed since the battle in Olmutz, with Alsace having new allies in order to defend herself. So Tigre sets out west, in hopes of establishing a base of operations there. The march west took it’s time. As Elen and co rest up. She is trying to get Lim to pronounce her army’s name. Titta is proudly saying “the silver meteor storm”. Lim is not happy about this chastisement. Nor the name, for that matter. Tigre not wanting to get into this little debate, gets dragged in regardless, with Lim actually telling him to stick up for his opinions a lot more. Lim is steadily becoming a favourite of mine. Tigre is wanted for treason against the crown a so a warrant for his arrest is put out. His title as nobleman is to be stripped.

Point of interest:

• Roland is named after the legendary hero in the epic poem of Charlemagne.
• This marks Elen’ first defeat in battle
• Durandal is Roland’ weapon
• Elen was reluctant to use Ley Admos on humans
• Mila ends her families 80-year connection to Thenardier

And Alsace under the kings control. The Navaare are on the move. Both armies have taken up positions in the orange plains. Roland wielding the sword durandal leads the charge against the silver meteor storm. Elen had no choice but to engage with the strongest knight in all of Brune. Roland charges at Tigre, who narrowley avoids his sword. And fires an arrow upwards. Elen and Tigre are now fleeing. Roland gives chase to them, when his horse is killed. However the plan didn’t go as smoothly. Tigre was gravely injured. With him lying unconscious, and Elen stuck. Sofy comes to aid her. With Elen retreating, this marks a first defeat for Elen and her army.

This episode showed a more aggressive side to Elen. As she went up against Mila. And Tigre was shown as to why he had little chance of victory against Elen back in the beginning. We all see the most typical knight you can imagine. Roland. Maybe he is modeled after the famed knight in history?. Roland leads the order of Navaare. An elite order of knights. Thenardier manipulated the king in order to label Tigre as an insurgent. Hence why the elite order was sent out after him. This shows just how badly Thenardier wants him out of the way. The small clash with Roland and Sofy was intersting. As it shows that Sofy isn’t some clumsy, air head. And that she is more capable than she lets on.

Can boy-girl friendship survive? – a question that is old as time

https://i.imgur.com/GbPXQzK.mp4

In a rural junior high school, a boy and a girl pledge eternal friendship, and two years pass without any progress in their relationship as they become destined for one dream…! Inuzuka Himari, a cheerful girl who has yet to find her first love, and Natsume Yu, a passive boy who loves flowers, are still best friends in their own gardening club in their second year of high school. “If Yu can’t get married, I’ll have to take responsibility for you.” “After Himari said that, I’m having a hard time because your brother started calling me, ‘My brother-in-law!'” However, when Yu reunites with his first love from the past, the wheels of their relationship suddenly go haywire! Will Himari, who has discovered love, be able to break free from her “ideal friend”?

Anime-Planet

Can a friendship remain platonic, or will the love triangle rise?

Alright, the new spring brings new love or in this case a love triangle. Danjo no or can boy-girl friendship survive, asks the question that is old as time. And honestly, the answer is; no. From the start, it is very obvious that Himari has some feelings towards Yu. Which is pretty much any setting for any high school romance, right? well, I do like the twist of throwing in a love triangle at the start and not like 5-7 episodes deep in.

The premises itself isn’t anything new, except the twist of throwing in a crush at the start. Which does make it an interesting dynamic between Yu, Himari and Rion. How will the three deal with each other’s feelings in what would be a very messy love triangle. Someone is bound to get hurt. Ah, those pesky teenage hormones raging! Yu, you two timing swine!

Danjo no tries to ask is, can a platonic relationship, stay platonic? and the answer is pretty much thrown in our faces, let alone answered

Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?: First Impression

Yu is the leading ladies’ man, boy hell how do these milquetoast characters win these ladies over. Anyway, he is into flowers thus being in the gardening club, and making accessories, which he is really good at, pays attention to details – only if he did that with a certain someone hanging off of him *hint* all the time – that’s the one thing that annoys me about Yu and male characters like him, he has a girl that are practically throwing themselves, yet they pick the one that does the least for them, all because they’re pretty, lame. Himari notes that his eyes light up when he is focusing on the accessories or flowers. I have to say, Yu does have a knack for fashion accessory making, for those who love flower language, he gives a bit of a run down on their meanings. I do suspect his feeling will start to split as the series progress – what an idiot. Hard to tell if he is uninterested or in denial regarding Himari

Himari the bubbly, brash, energetic, out of the box thinking girl who bought Yu’s accessories back in middle school and thus began begun to be his model and promoter of his products. The promise made between the two is that, if Yu can’t have a store and sell his stuff by the age of 30, she’ll marry him – that is some foreshadowing or red herring right there. Apparently, she has been on dates, however not been in any romantic relationships. So, she has some experience, just nothing serious. Her “flirty” playfulness or banter with Yu is what makes their platonic relationship, interesting. Yu seems to be casually attracted to her, but nothing romantic as of yet. Himari on the other hand, is or was in denial about her feelings towards Yu.

Rion, can go kick rocks far as I’m concerned

Would I continue watching?

It isn’t gaming changing, however I do think the series is good, so I’ll keep watching. I do theorise Yu will come to a crossroad on his feelings as to who he really wants

Madan no Ou to Vandis episode 5

Tigre offers his food to Mila, which she accepts. Elen is not happy about the kind treatment she is getting. So, she and Tigre have a “lovers’ quarrel”. Whilst Mila acknowledges that Tigre is a good man, she doesn’t think he is good at anything else. Elen seems to think otherwise. Elen advises Lim to increase their border patrol. For she thinks Mila might be thinking of initiating a surprise attack. Elen discusses any tactics they can use, Tigre wants to get involved with the battle. With her army sandwiched between Thenardier and Mila forces, Elen had no choice but to engage with Mila. It is revealed that Mila and her family have a long connection to Thenardier. As it spans for about 80 years. And Mila does not want that connection to be severed under her watch.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Episode 1 review: Being reborn as an undead

Reign of the seven spell blades Episode 1: HP the anime

The battle is fierce, upon the snowy plains. But the battle ended in a stalemate. It turns out that the small scuffle between the two forces was only to see how Tigre found them. Elen also reveals that Mila favours defence, despite being more aggressive. It appears that Mila tricked Elen out. In the Tatara mountains, there is a fortress – owned by Mila. And it appears to be very well defended. Making it very difficult for an army siege to take the citadel. Elen siege was unsuccessful. Her army were forced to retreat, whilst Mila and her forces withheld their ground. Lim tried to calm down Elen from taking any reckless actions – as this frustrated Elen. As she sought some assistance from Tigre. Tigre is trekking Mila through the snow plains, whilst being under a bear skin. He manages Mila to open up to him. She isn’t really happy about shouldering the responsibility of being a war maiden. Not to mention, being allies with people she hates. He continues to track via her footprints. Which leads to the citadel. He brings back Elen, and together they make an assault on it. The door was guarded by strong magic. Not even Ley Admos could break through. But with the of help Arifar. Tigre creates an opening with his bow.

Points of interest

• Mila inherited her vanadis weapon Lavias.
• She is also adepted at using the bow.
• Leitmeritz and Olmutz have been on bad terms with each other for a long time.
• Lourie family have a long standing relationship with Thenardier.
• Mila likes tea. As she has a tea set with her, wherever she goes.
• According to Elen she is 2-1 up on Mila. Mila says it is the other way around.

This episode focused more on Mila. It gave her some development & backstory. It shows us that Mila isn’t that stuck up as she is first shown. It certainly breaks her down as the episode progress. When she opens up to Tigre. What Tigre realises is that Mila is unhappy with the way her family positions itself with people that are questionable. And that she has to uphold that position, or face disgracing the Lourie family name. It is also noted that her weapon, Lavias was passed down her family for 80 years. I certainly think that Mila is an interesting character. And she adds that “spice” to the show. Not to mention, enlarging Tigre’s harem. Her rivalry with Elen is quite amusing to watch
