yakitate!! japan ep.31 & ep.32

These episodes talk 'bout the official start of the monaco cup which is the exhibition in which Kawachi plays as the *drumrolls* 100 million yen rodin . 'though it went a little different from the manga but it was ok, there was a princess Anne and lotsa funny stuff but they missed out on they part which Kawachi told Kanmuri that how he looked like he was doing "that" in the bread. lolz.

And of course, Pierrot!! Ahh Pierrot's super funny(and a bit scary at times) but his reactions, woo~ somehow he could always find somethings that is related to his life. Kuroyan's reactions are also excellant, and the best part 'bout his reactions is that they often made refrences to other animes or show, like dragon ball and matrix.

I'm now waiting for ep.33 to come out in which Pierrot will judge the saltless and sugarless bread that made(aka japan no.26) 'though I know the results but it would still be worth watching.

bleach OVA-memories in the rain & ep.38

The Bleach jump festa '05, well it was not as good as expected, instead the ova was just repeating ep.13(i think) just adding a few changes here and there, so there's nothing much to talk 'bout.

However ep.38 is a definate killer, as the fight between Ichigo and Zaraki continues, Ichigo learns that he can now cut Zaraki but in the end his soul slayer still got broken by Zaraki's. This episode ended in a stupid cliffhanger(like most other bleach episodes) and I can only say what Renji always says :"KUSO!!" cuz I didn't read that chapter of the manga.

chrno crusade ep.1 & ep.2

Yay!! this is a new anime I'm starting to watch, saw it from Mage's review. till now the story's good and packed with fast paced action wth some comedy moments in between . this anime reminds of Hellsing(which i never trly understand) which reminds me of Alucard's "waste disposal unit". i really like the way that he says he's from the waste disposal unit. super cool!!

I hadn't watch much of the anime yet but i must say "Chrno is so kawaii!!" but he doesn't appeal to me as much as other bishonens do eg. tasuki, renji.. still its an anime that i would continue watching!

Yakitate!! japan ep.29 [the birth of the black japan]

Pantasia southerntokyo meets with another new challenge from St. pierre, well actually its from the freaking b*tch, Yukino. This time Yukino decides to hire three bakers from another branch store just so to crush Pantasia southerntyoko, she got them to trust her by making up stories 'bout how she loves bread and how the Pantasia southerntokyo treated her eg. adding a special kind of enyzme(spelling?); bombing her research lab and throwing he r mother's ash all over a tree. When in actual fact all these were done by her, right then all I wanted to do was to punch Yukino in the face and stomp on her, trust her to act all inocent and having an inner self at the same time(just like Haruno Sakura).

The three bakers believed her and went all out to crush Pantasia southerntokyo by copying their diet bread and advertising it on tv that theirs(St. pierre) were the real ones. So of course Pantasia southerntokyo doesn't have that kind of finacial backing up to do something like that as well thus they had to come up with a new bread and Azuma suggested hus Japan no. 56!! Now if you recall, at beginning of the series the "accident" of Kawachi spoiling Azuma's dough, that was the incomplete Japan no. 56.

Japan no. 56 is both tasty and healthy(according to Azuma) therefore it would attract alot of people but they lack of an important ingerdient, so Kawachi decieded to atone for his sin and provided with another, Bamboo charcol! As the name suggests, this would turn the bread black.

"if they can turn black into white, we shall turn white into black." -Azuma

After the three bakers ate the bread, now comes the best part: the reaction. They were transported back in time into an era when people believed in some moon princess, and the moon princess was Yukino. So they went through a lot during that reaction and managed to see Yukino's evilness. There were things like gundam fights, though it was funny but I want to shout "GO AWAY YUKINO!! YOU KIRA AND FREEDOM WANNABE!"

The three soon realized that they were being cheated and resigned but not before spraying things across Yukino's room(haha, take that!).

Basically, this one was just a filler episode so not much was covered in it. The only thing that made me want to download it was because the trailer in ep.28 showed that gundam would be involved and so I wanted to see.

However, I feel that this episode is not going to be any good to the story because the producers probably wanted to reveal Japan no. 56 but the fact that it being black is going to spoil the story because towards the end of Monaco cup, Azuma is going make a black bread, if you read the manga I'm sure you would be surprised that there is black bread but now the whole effect is gone when that episode comes.

Nevertheless,I look forward to the next episode, the start of the Monaco cup which means: PIERROT!!
