The AnimaTure

~The Anima-Ture~
 
Remember that in the second episode we saw two people at the end?
Now it goes further with these two and we quickly learn why they are there.

Tsubasa is supposed to defeat Yoichi as it is her fate but she has the slightest interest in doing so.
She runs away from her guardian that was talking to herself and tripped.

The opening timing is perfect.

After the opening we see Ibuki again and a bucket with water.

This time nothing happens but Ayame was cleaning with Ibuki and Yoichi which surprised Ibuki.
She was wondering what has gotten into her to clean with her and Yoichi.

The two other sisters realized that Ayame has started to get feelings for Yoichi and told her she'd be having a hard time since Ibuki is her love rival.
She got startled when Yoichi looked straight at her and ran away.

Ibuki might have noticed something but that is unsure for now.

We go back to school and the new transfer student is Tsubasa and Yoichi made a remark about her being cute.
Ibuki punched him saying he was looking at her.


Tsubasa is not willing to complete her mission while her guardian thinks she is secretly planning to do so.
We get to see Ibuki getting annoyed by Yoichi as he is laughing and smiling towards Tsubasa.

After the introductions and all the students of the class start with asking questions and she couldn't answer them.

A ball flew to her and she cut it in two with her bare hand wondering why everyone was looking weird at her.
She noticed that her body automatically reacted to danger and Yoichi saw this an praised her for this.

Ibuki stepped in and stopped the questioning but everyone started introducing themselves to her.

After school Tsubasa runs into the delinquents that we know, Torigaya and Ryou.
Torigaya was yapping at her but Ryou stopped him and told her that she should be careful the next time.

Tsubasa's guardian Angela, was telling her that the mission must be successful so the swallow benten clan could be revived.
Tsubasa still doesn't want to do this and runs away but runs into Yoichi and Ibuki.

Angela stripped Tsubasa revealing an assassin like clothing and Angela requested a battle with Yoichi.

Yoichi was having a nosebleed moment and Ibuki punched him and went to take Tsubasa's clothes but noticed they were very heavy.
Tsubasa suddenly attacked Yoichi and it seems that Tsubasa lost her emotions.

A 'special' training allowed Tsubasa to cut off all her emotions and that makes her the perfect assassin according to Angela.

Yoichi even gets a pussy-punt to the face and Ryou arrived on scene.

He became mad at Yoichi for inter pretending his own vision about seeing Tsubasa in the assassins clothing and near Yoichi.
He covered her with his sweater and she regained all emotions and ran away.

No one was understanding anything and it ends.

Later Angela takes her chances and tries to defeat Yoichi but then she reveals why she has to defeat Yoichi.

Although it looked bad but Yoichi defends himself and preaches Angela that she is doing something wrong and she noticed what she should do.

After the emotional event they are returning from school the next day.

Ibuki tells Yoichi she was happy that he said some things about her dojo but he does not understand what.
At that moment Tsubasa fell over a bit further and then they see Angela en Tsubasa working part-time jobs.

Ryou arrived on scene and Tsubasa was all fidgety and wanted to return his sweater but he said she could throw it away but she insisted to keep it then.
His vision on that reaction was that she must be extremely poor.

After all this we see a shadow person on a roof watching all of them and he is mad that the mission failed.

The end of episode 3.

~The Anima-Ture~


So after a rather successful run of 24 episodes they start releasing the specials.

Saint Lily academy is a all-girl academy where girls learn how to be classy.
The new student is Yamada Nadeshiko or known as Cruz 'Yamada' Schild.

Cruz quickly reveals he is there on a investigation as a girl but is in fact a boy.
His plans may not be found out at all costs and suddenly the girls all started undressing for the physical examination.

He runs out the classroom and pulls out a quite girly underwear out of his bag.
He was wondering what he would and could do but here ends this special.


So far it is uninteresting to watch.

~The Anima-Ture~


It zooms slowly in on the clubhouse and we hear Issei thinking about swimsuits that the girls might be wearing.
He walks into the clubroom where all the members are changing but Kiba told him not to enter which he still did not knowing they were undressing.
His face, so bright red cheeks and swollen that it is funny.

Rias asks Issei to put suntan lotion on her and without thinking twice he starts but he slips and because of the lotion they are all slipping over each other and Issei called Asia to help but he ended up in between their breasts.

Rias had fun with punishing Issei and Koneko was the first to play smash the watermelon and as we know she has superhuman strength.
Asia looking at the bright side that she could always heal him which Issei still didn't like as his head would be split open.

~The Anima-Ture~

Jasmine is one of those one-shots you can read without stopping even once.

It is just so fascinating and interesting where the story is developing to.

Will be a sad ending will it be a happy ending, you never know with one-shots like this.

Jasmine, a girl who does not go to school but studies at home and has no friends besides Xiau.

He is her first and only friend and he admires her for being smart even when she does not go to school.

You could say he loves her based on his reactions towards her father that limits her abilities and freedom.

After what happened he decided to 'grow up' and stop believing in her stories and being able to fly with a broomstick.

Shortly after she has moved places he was wondering about a couple things.

What we as readers could believe is that she truly has magic since she is able to grow a plant that is going to be a tree, out of a marble.

She always thought of others but none except Xiau thought about her.

She was free but she was imprisoned at the same time and i can't really explain this myself.

You really got to give this one-shot a go as it is not only beautifully drawn and colored, but also touching.

Art : Splendid!

Story : Touching and good.

Page-count : Perfect.

I gave Jasmine a well deserved 4 out of 5 on Anime Planet

~The Anima-Ture~

It starts with two old guys talking about their grandsons and they were talking about the boy who could see microbes.

The old man believes his grandson because he has seen Tadayusu playing with them while he could not see them.

As for the opening, we see little things which are supposed to be microbes dancing and flying everywhere.
It is awesome that they used real life recordings and added the microbes in it that way.

After the opening we see two boys and they wonder why the police is at the opening ceremony that every Japanese school holds.

The camera zooms in on the shoes of the students all being muddy.

The man telling them that there is a person missing was being nonchalantly and told them that the missing person could be buried on the campus.

The school holds many surprises and Tadayusu, the blonde guy is seeing all these microbes.

I love how they make a professor look so awesome but make him so disgusting at the same time.
suddenly he tells them he is their teacher and the missing student suddenly turned up and it seems she is also a student of him.

It all turns out that the parents were over-protective.

The girl did not believe that Tadayusu could see microbes and he got some tests to see if he could name products because of the microbes.

It is funny that even bacteria have races from where they are originated from.
European looking bacteria, Japanese looking bacteria, it is quite funny.

The girl is getting all hysterical because Tadayusu can tell which is which without having any knowledge at all.
She started believing a little bit because he examined her foot and noticed something and guessed that she needed some things to keep it clean.

It is thanks to the translators i can understand a bit more about what these bacteria do.


Here ends episode 1.


I am surprised that this has kept me interested and it is actually nicely drawn, voices are picked well and the dialog is decent too for now.

~The Anima-Ture~

It starts with Yoichi walking outside yawning and i got a feeling he is up way to early but he grabs his writing materials and the intro starts.

Ibuki is pumping water and recalls the talk with her sisters the night before and Ayame is making a fuzz again.
But in this situation and her point of view she is actually right but we know it was all by mistake, or was it?

Ayame is quickly swayed by the puppy eyes of her youngest sister and always gives in when looking at her.

Yoichi was training and Ibuki saw him and started blushing.
He noticed her holding a bucket of water and he insisted to help cleaning but she wouldn't hand over the bucket and he touches her hand which got her startled and she fell over.

We know these kind of scenes, she falls back, the bucket of water goes over her, she is wet (no pun intended), guy blushes and gets a nosebleed.
To top that, remember he took his writing materials before the intro?

He wrote 'I met a woman with incredible large breasts and chatted with her.'

She punched him up in the sky and he lands into Ayame's bedroom holding her breast, again.

Kagome and Chihaya came to see why Ayame was screaming and they saw them.
Ibuki was on the scene too and she does not realize it was her fault and gave Yoichi a nice beating.

He brushed the beating as nothing compared to the training in the mountains and Ibuki asked if he wanted more.
He quickly swallowed those words.

He tried to start a conversation with Ayame but she just yapped at him.
Ibuki invited Yoichi to school and he is so looking forward to it.

Ayame was worried if he would do perverted stuff once he arrived at school.

The delinquent that Yoichi blew away when he arrived in the city is also going to the same school as Ibuki.
He is secretly in love with Ibuki and noticed Yoichi with her and he was struck by lighting wondering what he did with her, hiding behind a tree.

He is a new student and introduces himself but we see Ibuki and the delinquent called Ryou, in the same class.
Yoichi openly admitted he was freeloading at Ibuki's house and Ryou's friend was quite funny at this instance.

Ryou remembered him and yelled out loud and the teacher asked if they knew each other.
Yoichi not knowing better, he tried to tell the whole class they met at the station where he blew him away.

Ryou all startled stopped him from saying that and he noticed Ibuki looking back while laughing.
He thought she was laughing at him because he acted like a moron.

Ibuki's friends are thinking he is the fiancé samurai but she wipes those rumors away.
Yoichi was talking to the girls or rather the girls are talking to him and Ibuki takes him away for a talk.

A talk how vulgar it is to surround himself with girls and asked why he was bleeding from his nose.
We know it by now that most perverted or inexperienced people get nosebleeds from over stimulation, if you know what i mean.

He simply replied it was because of her beatings.

Ryou overheard their conversation but only heard part of it and that part he did hear makes him assume he is a playboy and Ibuki is his toy.

He yelled out to Yoichi and requested another fight.

Ayame was in the principal office having a chat about her bad grades and language but the students in the hall were yelling that there was a fight going on.

She ran to the hall to see the fight and Ryou was going all out according to his friend.

Yoichi made him angry by making it 'fair' by dropping his weapon but as the fight goes on, Ryou pulls out his weapons and Yoichi got disappointed by this.
He destroyed the weapon and told him that his fists should do the talking and that he should not rely on weapons.

Ryou's vision on Ibuki giving him an handkerchief is quite something.

Ayame was moved by this battle and her opinion about him got a little bit better.

Yoichi has gotten a fever after class and was ashamed that he had a weakness in his body.

Ayame was telling him to go back to the mountains as the monkey he is and he wanted to commit seppuku but Ibuki is stopping him.

Even when Ayame does not like him she has thrown out her whole wardrobe to fetch an outfit for cooking a meal for him that cures his fever.

Yoichi has calmed down but his face....bruised.
Ibuki's way of calming people is scary, very scary.

Yoichi's fever was already going down because he has taken some medicine but had to rest and Ibuki let Chihaya to take care of him.
Yoichi and Chihaya had a talk about Ibuki and he wanted to apologize for making her worried about him and for causing troubles.

Ibuki is thinking of doing the same but because she is manhandling him.

Ayame fails at cooking and Kagome helped her out but left her with the after work, thanks to Ayame this is a lot.

He was not in his room and Ibuki got home and Yoichi was sitting there for apologizing but Ibuki got mad at him because he left his bed.
She is worried his fever would become worse and in the ends they didn't apologize.

Ayame noticed that they were laughing and we see why Ayame's grades and behavior are bad.

She was envious of Ibuki because everyone praised her and not her and she ran away.
Yoichi going after her and she tripped while the porridge was going to fall he grabbed it but jumped outside the window.

She was worried about him even when she does not admit it and she was even smiling which surprised the other sisters.
Then Yoichi said something and got kicked by Ayame and remember his writing?
This time it had 'girl with a small breast size' on it.

Two other characters arrive in the city and here ends another awesome episode.

~The Anima-Ture~


A girl that is wearing the typical shrine maiden outfit and cools herself down with a bucket of water.
This is just a hint that this series contains ecchi and would contain some fan-service.

After the intro we see a boy who is in the mountains fishing with his special techniques of the sword.
However, he got a surprise attack but he successfully defended himself from.....his father.

His father is quite funny as he calls his son too strong and that it makes him look bad.





He wants his son to decent the mountain and meet with other people.

What Yoichi does not know is that his ways and knowledge are from the time of samurai while they are in the modern age.


The father shot an arrow far away and it even passes a train and we get to see a couple girls.

The doorbell rings and the smallest girl is going to take a look and was yelling everyone awake because the arrow was what rang the doorbell.


The one doing the daily chores read the letter and tells the rest that there is a boy going to live with them.

Ayame is making a fuzz out of it because they used arrows as a message instead of a text message.

The others have no problem with it at all.

Back to Yoichi who has arrived in the city and looking at the map where is supposed to be but a thug ran into him and kicked his sword which is a direct insult for the warriors following the way of the samurai.
He was going to strike but we quickly see that he stopped his attack and just blew the thug away with the power of his wind.


The four girls waiting for him as he is late because he got arrested for use of weapons, they each separate because he is late and Yoichi is lost.
He was looking for a place high enough and met the escalator and with all his concentration he jumped on it.

He was paying attention to the floor and fell over in a cart and fell over in the dressing room where Ayame was checking some clothes.
She wanted to yell but he closed her mouth and apologized but grabbed her breast by accident.

She kicked him in the precious area of the man and yelled at him for grabbing something small and called him a pervert.
The mall security tried to catch him but at the same time a woman was yelling to stop a thief.

He ran after the thief and got him trapped but one of the girls, who has a fetish for boy-love and is called Chihaya, suddenly appeared and he ran into her.

It was all dark and he was thinking that the people of the city are masters in traps and suddenly he thinks of the sea, which makes me wonder how good it smells where he is....(pun)

He caught the thief eventually and met a little girl that was crying, whom is also one of the sisters.

He is helping her to get back to her sisters and explained what she was good at but he asked for visual appearance and she told him that she had large breasts.





He pointed to some girls but none of them had the large breasts that she said she had.
Eventually she found him and pointed her to him and he was amazed by the size of them.




He jumps down by holding a cable and the girl because the mall security wanted to grab him but got away and returned the girl and Ibuki noticed that he was the one they were waiting for.
 
He used his wind style to softly return the girl but the cable pulled hum back and threw him out on top of a train that was about to depart.
As dumb fooled as he was he was wondering what was happening and the train moved.

He kept sitting on that spot until the train arrived back at the same city at sunset.

Ibuki waited the whole time for him and welcomed him but the police officer arrested him.
He had a request before going to the police office and he apologized to everyone he caused trouble to and was released.

Once arriving at Ibuki's home the three sisters look at him and noticed he was the molester, the man with the special interest and the samurai.

He introduced himself and here ends this awesome episode.

~The Anima-Ture~


It starts of with a man being beaten up and he is watching up to a building as the scene turns to another man visiting a grave.

The next scene shows a girl being transported to a hospital but they do not know the cause of her condition.

Suddenly the scene changes and the boy and girl that were at the hospital were outside.

The girl was ditching class and was afraid her friends from the gaming research club would be mad at her because it got locked down.
A fellow club member has not regained consciousness like she did and that made them close the club.

She was talking about a sound which the boy did not understand.

The girl called Mai, went home and she seems to adore the violin and starts dozing off as she puts on a track.
She recalls what happened and she never played a game and her friend that is still in an unknown condition, taught her about a game.
A weird sound suddenly woke her up as the phone rang.

She seems to be afraid of the sound.

The next day she is walking towards school and everyone just looks at her and the man that was being beaten up at the start went to talk with her.
She didn't want to talk as was startled when he asked if she was playing a game when she fainted and ran off.

As she arrives at her classroom it got awkwardly silent and everyone was looking at her in a questioning way.

She went back to the club that was closed and the man suddenly showed up asking her if she wanted to know why she fell unconscious by playing the game called 'the world'.






The club president got on scene and made him leave and talked to Mai.
They were talking about the world and he was asking if it had to do something with it, which she couldn't answer as she does not know the answer either.

The girl is researching who the man is that spoke to her and found out what his job was.

she stormed out to the streets and met the cocky girl that every school has.
She phoned the club president about this man and he could hardly believe it.

However, the next morning he called the company behind the game 'the world' and he found out that the man is no longer part of the foundation.
He told the news to Mai and also told her to not stop playing the violin even when she quits music class.

Mai was on her visit with the doctor and she told him she thinks the game has something to do with it but he said it was absurd as the game is sold over twenty million times.

He was tapping with his pen and she started paying attention on that and that sound appeared every time he taped with his pen.


She went to visit her friend that was still in a coma and the man from the start was also there to her surprise and he told her it could be possible that the game caused all of this.
Due to a little bickering the boy started to react and the man was going in on this as if he was still in the game fighting something.

Mai then agreed to help him to find the cause of all these conditions.

After they went to check up on her gameplay history and such he got locked out and he was wondering why she was the only one that was able to come back.

She tried to run but he held her arm and asked her again and she still replied that she didn't know.

We get to see a flashback when she was sleeping from a little girl in the game as she woke up.
As an musician she was looking for this sound and she found it.

Mai and the club president started talking about the game again about the strongest players in the game and eventually started talking about Tomonari (the friend that is still in a coma) what if he would not awake from his coma.
The club president vowed to not let such a thing happen and would make sure to get him back.
He felt responsible since he was the one that introduced him to the world.

Mai decided to call Tokuoka ( the man who wants her help and that got beaten up) and he asked her if they could do the next session in the clubhouse as he was enjoying an ice cream in a hot spring.

Mai started recalling some more memories with Tomonari that it seemed he was trying to kiss her.
It was quite funny that he said he wouldn't try it again but quickly after that added 'for now' and apologized again.
It was also this moment that Mai got introduced to the world by Tomonari.

She spoke with the club president again and he was warning her that Tokuoka was up to no good and she left because she did not want to talk about it anymore.

She got home and her mother wanted to talk to her about her music classes.
She was mad at her because she gave up on the classes but she didn't want to quit playing the violin because she loves it.

The mother was hoping for her to become a soloist but Mai just wants to play it for fun which her mother could not understand and wanted to throw the violin away.

Standing out in the rain she met up with Tokuoka to go into the clubroom for checking what happened in the world.

The club president who is at the hospital with Tomonari and recalled some memories that Tomonari said he asked Mai if she wanted to go out with him.
The club president said that she was probably afraid to turn him down because she would be picked on again.
Tomonari corrected that argument with 'a boy's way of affection'.


Back to Mai and Tokuoka breaking into the clubhouse and he used the same catchphrase as Tomonari 'for reals'.
Mai asked him to not say that again and he didn't even bothered to ask why.

Tokuoka figured that they had to connect to the world and asked her if she was sure to do this.
She was fully confident because she had the sound to rely on.

When they were connected, Mai heard that sound again but Tokuoka couldn't hear it and Mai said to run.
She could hear it and that girl from her flashback was showing up and she threw off the virtual headset.

Tokuoka however, was still playing as he was already caught by the sound and Mai destroyed the computer.

For some reason Mai knows that Tokuoka would be regaining consciousness real soon and that the world is not just a game.

The club president was standing there wondering what was happening but still could not understand a thing.



*additional comments on episode 1*

The episode is 44 minutes long but in just 15 or 20 minutes time i have heard about 4 or 5 soundtracks which is darn annoying.
Dialogues are a bit sketchy and not many people get to say something but oh well, it is the first episode.

 

~The Anima-Ture~


I have decided to write for each episode and volume individually.
No one likes to read a whole book but rather read small writings about certain episodes and volumes.

~The Anima-Ture~

I can start blogging again!

even when i don't have all my data from my pc i can write about stuff with what i do have.
