The holidays will soon be over.
Guess I didn't accomplish much in the end, Lol.
These passing days have been rather unsociable, I must mention.
I suppose my notion of 'peace' brings about a number of shortcomings, such as er, seclusion perhaps?

I've completed two anime series in a single week - Shakugan no Shana and Dragon Drive; This piece of information is evidence of my becoming into a geek.
Well then, beginning with Shakugan no Shana - On a fundamental level of speaking, this story is about these 'Flame Haze' dudes who go around slaying 'Crimson Denizens' (the bad guys, so to speak).
There were some really moronic scenes which I firmly believe should NOT have been there but was in fact.
Like the part where Shana, the protagonist of the story, had to make a pact with Alastor, the 'Flames of Heaven'; instead of some sort of ritual taking place, Shana and Alastor, much to my unexpectedness, exchanged cheesy lines that involved what seemed like declarations and vows of love towards each other.
Quoted from one of viewers from the comments section: "Now how the f**k do you fall in love with a FLAME? SNS is a great anime and all, but cut the shit seriously."
I'll have to agree on that.
It just screws the story up.
Another annoying problem is that, like any other typical love triangle scenes you get from animes, the guy ALWAYS happens to be a dense blockhead, being completely unaware and oblivious of the girl's affection for him.
Examples are:
1. Shiro from Fate/Stay Night,
2. Junpei from Ichigo 100%
3. Hayate from Combat Butler
4. Kuzumi from Mx0
I'd so punch the shit out of these dickheads if they were to appear before me.
It PISSES me off, darnit!
Seriously, what's the problem with these Manga authors.
They just love to concoct these stupid love triangle scenes involving an incompetent and simply unimpressive guy attracting hordes of beautiful chicks; I'll bet this is some retarded fantasy that every Japanese guy has, no doubt about it.
Fuckin' pervs.
Now on to Dragon Drive.
A few things I have to bring up, first off starting with the graphics.
I noted how majority of the dragons have some sort of erm, plating (o.o") on them, which makes them appear somewhat robotic.
I don't know man, but I just don't fancy the idea of robotic-looking dragons spewing flames across the screen.
It reminds me of Gundam.
And Gundam, is garbage.
Oh, yeah, Chibi's evolved form bears a STRIKING resemblance towards Dragoon from Beyblade.
It's... lame.
Then the biggest problem manifests.
Some of the bloody parts of the story, DON'T-MAKE-ANY-FREAKING-SENSE.
It's not that I don't understand them, believe me on that.
Like, what the FUCK, I don't comprehend how Shinryuu's fire attack just, WARPED Reiji and his friends back home.
It just doesn't make ANY SENSE, HELLOOO~~~~ what were you jokers smoking when you were working on that episode?!
Some of the scenes just don't bear any meaning in them at all, and they exist for the sole purpose of aiding the entire anime in it's progression.
Not exactly fillers, but sort of like a connecting chain if you will.
What's more, it's downright crappy that Hagiwara, acting all cowardly and hapless at the idea of facing Shinryuu one moment could have a complete, instantaneous change in character FOR NO ABSOLUTE REASON WHATSOEVER AT ALL, just abruptly waltzing in the scene, saying: "Hey! I ain't gonna press the reset button! I'll fight you!!" the next minute.
Utter bullshit.
C'mon, you can do better than that.
-
Guess I'll stop here.
I sincerely hope that Shana and Yuji ends up together on season two, which I have yet to finish and am currently working on.
C'MON!!!!!!!!!!!! T_T
Stupid freaking Yoshida Kazumi, just die already.
