Yumekui Merry 10 Review

Alright folks,here is the actual thing. Because I feel sorry for trolling all of you. (Not.)

 The episode starts off randomly... as Yumeji decides to see if Isana is posessed by a dream demon by doing his trademark....
BACTERIA? I THINK NOT.
 ...so he sees purple bacteria thingies, which mean she is. So he goes all Higurashi for a bit,with Merry looking at him in the distance,all concerned like the caring girlfriend she is.

Then cue the opening.
Hey look,IOSYS combined with plenty of navel action. (Just like a certain Dark Signer...)
As the episode starts, we see Kawanami running somewhere while being reminded of Mr.I-Forgot-His-Name-But-Laughs-Like-Kalin. Eventually, she stops and gets transported to the Dream World just like that. How convenient. We then meet some Sherlock Holmes-mecha styled dream demon ripoff (Leon to be precise-Kawanami is his vessel) who talks about a sacrifice...Isana,to be exact. But,Kawanami, being the tsundere-about-her-friendship-with-Isana, doesn't like it one bit.Meanwhile,Yumeji is lying down on his bed,thinking about childhood events and how "Isana shouldn't have gotten involved" and all that. He later gets his lazy ass off the bed, and into Isana's room. They talk about her paintings and what not, and Isana recalls that the night before,he was "all riled up" in his room,so she was about to check up on him when...
 
Male periods. Dads just know.
Her dad stopped her from going in,basically. She asks why he was so angry, and he explains under the false pretense that "I was just playing games" when actually,it was because he didn't want her involved in all this Dream World $#!&. She buys it anyways,as Merry (my wife) comes in with milk tea omnomnom, and admires Isana's painting.SUDDENLY,RANDOM CANS FALLING ON THE FLOOR SCENE WITH KAWANAMI. She starts reminiscing about the past while staring at (depressing D:)scenery. Her parents died when she was only a child, so it explains a lot about why she is so emotionally troubled and quiet. (inb4emo) It was rumored that her parents had a huge debt (inb4hayaterefrencehereandhowtheyshouldleaveherwiththedebt). Flashback scene:she travels (randomly and of course, conveniently) to the Dream World AGAIN,but this time showing how she became his vessel. She decides to warn Yumeji about the peril Isana is about to be in,as she is Isana's friend,and what do you know.
*insert raunchy fanservice scene here as she changes before warning Yumeji*
<3<3<3 :D
AHEM. ANYWAYS.
Before she leaves,Leon asks where she is going and she lies and says,"taking a walk".
Now back to Yumeji and co, as he is in the Dream World talking with a friendly demon,Engi and her (willing) vassal, Yui about saving Isana.
Attacked by chainsaw-armed transvestite zombies? Wicked.

Kawanami arrives at the cafe,just as a random scene between Takateru and Saki ensues.
I won't really go into detail about this scene,as they aren't major characters,but in a nutshell:
-They talk about Takateru's haiku/senryuu,and soon enough,Saki tsundere moment:
So thats how it is? Falling in love with an unimportant,ugly character instead of Yumeji? >:(
-Takateru explains his reason for making haiku/senryuu - its because of his imouto
Now we take to the Dream World...again.But this time, we see two random victims,about to be pwnt by Heracles,who IMHO has abs to rival that of even the most manly, buff people.Sadly, Heracles envelops those two in flames. Of hell. (*cough* *cough* inside joke)Which also almost killed his detestable servant, Landsbourough.He makes it out alive,unfortunately, and reports to Heracles about Yumeji and Co., calling them cowards...yet? -_-
Oh the irony
Landsbourough freaks out...like a coward after hearing Mistilteinn's name,probably because of the fact Mistilteinn is a psycho girl,who kills even her own teammates,as seen in Episode 9.
 Back to the Yumeji and Kawanami scene- Kawanami is warning Yumeji,which makes him reasonably distressed as she leaves. He runs after her like a guy who just got dumped to ask if she is their ally or not. She just walks away. (AKA DUMPED LOLOLOL.)
All of this is happening...as Mr.I-Forgot-His-Name-But-Laughs-Like-Kalin is randomly eating ramen at an unknown restaurant. And at this scene,it's pretty evident by now that Mr.I-Forgot-His-Name-But-Laughs-Like-Kalin is Mistillteinn's vessel; her shadow can be clearly seen against the walls.In the Tachibana house, Yumeji and Merry are admiring Isana's paintings once again,as Isana suggests to Merry that they take a bath together (sorry Yumeji,some other time.)
Correct response: "well then I'll peek tommorow...baby"
Finally, Yumeji is left alone in Isana's room,as he promises to himself to protect Isana no matter what. Awww,isn't that cuuuuute. And then the credits.
Coincidentally..the ending is made by IOSYS...with navel action. YET AGAIN.
CLOSING THOUGHTS:
Episode Rating: 8/10
-Needs more Merry x Yumeji >:(
-Major cliffhangers. I mean come on, I believe the anime is only 13 episodes, get on with kicking Heracles @$$!...unless J.C Staff makes another season,just like Index. But make the 2nd season airing quick,and not like Index.
+ Character development
+ Plot development
-----------------------------------------
EDIT: It seems,as I have confirmed,that the anime plot differs from the manga plot significantly.  ._.
(And my wife Kawanami is an anime-only original character.)

Yumekui Merry 10 Review


... :D (expect the real review coming soon)

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS Episode 55 Review

And here's to another terrible review by yours truly, Kiryu Kyosuke! *shot* I'm gonna try to avoid emotes this time, because blogger hates emotes and makes you have some html error if you use emotes. SCREW YOU BLOGGER. LOL. Anywayyyy. On with the fugly review!

"What will it be? What will it be?" - That one pink dragon with the big yellow eyes and stuff.
So the episode starts off with clips from the previous episode, episode 54.. Well, I'll review that some other day.
And then the awesome opening. x) Togirenai youni kienai youni~~
After the opening, Crow and Yusei reminisce about Yusei trying to save Kiryu back in ye olde Teame Satisfactione days.
ASDFGHJKL. Kiryu, I hate to break it to you, but you're delusional. ;A;

As you can see, Kiryu has clearly gone insane after becoming paranoid of losing control of Satellite.. And he wants to attack the Securities. By himself. Because Yusei, Crow, and Jack refuse to help. I mean, if I were there, I'd help him.. Even though he's clearly delusional and insane? YES. x3
Back on track.. Seems like the Securities have started attacking/bombing? the building. x:
EXTREMELY LAME. I cracked up when I saw this. XDD

@The above guy: You fail as a cop.
... Anyway, Team Satisfaction- holy crap- JUMPED OUT OF A WINDOW. And they're running away, but..
F*** A DEAD END. ;A; Noooo Kiryuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..
Who knows HOW, but Kiryu ended up being separated from the rest of Team Satisfaction. x: So a Securities noob comes up and duels Kiryu. Kiryu somehow goes first, draws, and summons Vorse Raider.. or, uh, "Blood Vorse" in the Japanese version. o_o; ... Wait, was Vorse Raider's skin always green..? O_O;
And then the Securities noob insults Kiryu by calling him garbage. Clearly, he made me mad. But you know, he's gonna get killed soon ( By who? I'm not telling you. ). I mean, NOBODY insults Kiryu and gets away with it. 8D
The Securities noob summons Montage Dragon which kills Vorse Raider ( Kills.. did I use the correct word here.. XDD ) and the Securities noob tries to kill Kiryu or something, but Kiryu is SOOOO PRO and jumps on some rope or something and gets on the noob's D-Wheel. And then Yusei's desperate to get Kiryu to stop the D-Wheel. You know what Yusei, the Securities noob insulted Kiryu so he's gonna get what he deserves, mmkay? 8)
Kiryu and noob drive through a freakin' wall and they survive.. Oh wait, only Kiryu does. The noob died. 8D Yay!
This reminds me of some other anime that has nothing to do with 5DS..

Hmmmm... ( I know it's dark, and crap quality, but he's holding a baseball bat. )

Kiryu attempts to brutally murder the noob more just like the guy with the baseball bat. ( You can guess who the baseball bat guy is, right? XP Hint: Anime full of murders and psycho girls... ) But then..
FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU YUUUUUUUUUSEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIII...
Yusei just HAD to stop Kiryu. =A=; Geez, the noob deserves a beating, okay?!
Yusei left Crow and Jack to make sure the Securities don't get Kiryu, so he leaves and confronts the Securities by himself.. And tries to make them believe that he is the leader of Team Satisfaction, but... OH CRAP, THEY GOT KIRYU. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
... makes me remember the way they showed this scene in YGO 5DS WC2010 Reverse of Arcadia.. LOL. XDDD
Back on track, Kiryu gets captured and throw into a truck and wants to beat the f*** out of Yusei but the Securities shut the truck doors so Kiryu can't escape..
And then, ~END OF FLASHBACK~ and I'm starting to tear up now ;w;
Well, Yusei and Crow are trying to convince ( Dark Signer ) Kiryu that they were trying their best to help but apparently, according to Kiryu, they bent to the Securities' idiotic questioning. x:
"Say, do you know what fate waits those who have opposed Security?"
-Kiryu Kyosuke

OH GOD NO YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY, NO JOKE.
Those Securities, th-they beat him up a lot in jail.. ;A; And lasered a mark onto his face, and.. ;___; Ugh I feel so bad for Kiryu... AND THEY EVEN TOOK HIS DECK AWAY. Cruel sons of... ;A; The Envoy of the Underworld ( Ccapac Apu? o.o ) speaks to Kiryu about stuff, and Kiryu becomes a Dark Signer because there is someone he wants to get revenge on, "and".. Oh dammit, the tears are flowing out of my eyes D: Well, uh, Kiryu continues with his turn and tributes Infernity Archfiend and Infernity Necromancer for Ccapac Apu~ Flashy cutscene is flashy and "kourin seyo! jibakushin kokapaku apu!" totally made my day. ^^ Ushio, Crow, Rua, and Ruka are scared s***less and Kiryu attacks directly with Ccapac Apu.. x3
OM NOM NOM

... Nice job, mood-breakers. =A=; Yusei starts to become afraid of Ccapac Apu but he'll defeat it for Kiryu's sake... =_=; Yeah let's see you try. ( Obviously he's gonna beat Ccapac Apu since he's the main character. ) Yusei activates a trap card which directs Ccapac Apu's attack to another target, and he selects Junk Warrior. Kiryu's like "WTF?" Yusei activates yet another trap card, which reduces the effect damage from Ccapac Apu's effect all the way down to 0. Then, Yusei summons Stardust Dragon because of the trap card's other effect... Kiryu ends his turn by setting a trap. Then, during the standby phase of Yusei's turn, Kiryu activates the trap card, which directs all attacks to Ccapac Apu. Yusei activates Speed Spell - Angel Baton which allows him to draw two cards and discard one. Yusei discards Stardust Xiaolong which comes back to the field because Stardust Dragon is on the field. Yusei sets a card and ends his turn. "ORE NO TUUUUUUUUUUURN~~~" I loooove how Kiryu said "Ore no turn" this time LOL. ^^ Yusei activates his trap during Kiryu's standby phase. The trap causes the battle damage inflicted to Yusei to only be able to be caused by battling with Stardust Dragon.
Ccapac Apu eats Stardust Dragons for dinner. :3

But Kiryu didn't read the fine print of Yusei's trap card and the other effect activates, which Yusei sends the trap card to the cemetery.. er, Graveyard, to negate Stardust Dragon's destruction. Kiryu activates a Trap Card to double Ccapac Apu's battle damage. x3 Yay~! *insert Yusei scream here* OLOLOLOL. xDDD But.. oh noes D: Kiryu's D-Wheel is like.. idk malfunctioning or something and he's getting close to the flames.. nooooooo ;A; Yusei sticks his hand out to try to save Kiryu and also says that he was wrong to think he was able to save Kiryu by himself..
"What the f***, man?"

ASDFGHJKL. KIRYU. YOUR PRICELESS EXPRESSION. I LOVE IT. X3
Kiryu's getting closer to the flames now.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! And then the other Signers' signs disappear and go to Yusei.. Yusei's turn: He summons Savior Dragon ( the pink thing I mentioned at the beginning of this review) , tunes his three monsters, and summons Savior Star Dragon. Savior Star Dragon negates Ccapac Apu's effect and copies Ccapac Apu's effect, and attacks Ccapac Apu.. Which kills Ccapac Apu and gets Kiryu's life points down to 0 and gets me crying so much now ;w; Kiryu's other wish when he became a Dark Signer was to play Team Satisfaction's last duel, "the one that never came true back then".
Kiryu, stop making that face. 8( I mean, it's cute, but it's making me cry ;A;

Extremely emotional moment as Kiryu turns into stone and fades away and Yusei vows to beat the other Dark Signers, and then YUSEI MANLY TEARS.
And yeah I ended up crying buckets. x.x

AWESOME TEAR-JERKING episode of course. x) I think I should stop crying every time I watch this episode, but I can't help it.. I really can't.. ;_____;

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS Episode 33 Review

My reaction to episode 33:
LOVED IT! <3

OMG first review asdfsdgdfgfdsga. So it's probably gonna be terrible and such. D:
T
ell me what I should improve on and such, okay? >w>
And sorry if this is a bit... idk, well.. It might be a bit... Kiryu-biased? ;w; Sorry I really really like Kiryu so.. D:
Lastly, I might be a bit repetitive because.. Well, I suck at writing/typing interesting sentences. ;w;

So, first thing's first..
Typical "Card of the Week" thingy at the beginn
ing of the episode.
Then random hippies saying stuff about disappearing Nazca lines, then Rex Godwin, and then Yusei and Crow talking and then..
Gasp! Mysterious super awesome guy! ;w;

Apparently some very awesome guy called Kiryu Kyosuke. >w> And Yusei and Crow seem to know him. Hmm.. ( Yeah actually I've watched this episode a million times so I know how they know Kiryu. )
"So you're alive"? What exactly happened? D8 ( .. Look, I'm just trying to be dramatic here. ;
w; )
OMG HEY A NAZCA LINE.

So it was Kiryu's fault for making the Nazca lines disappear huh?! D< *shot* Anyway after some shocked expressions and stuff, Kiryu's like, "Let's duel!" and then laughs.. SDFAGASDGFASDFA I love his laughter. Anyway, cue the opening.. Wow, what a weird timing for the opening to start. o.o; Alright, so after the awesomely awesome opening, Yusei's like "WHAT'S THIS??" .. What? O_O; That's a weird way of threatening others..

Oh geez, Kiryu, I don't think ANYONE uses 'bowels' to threaten people nowadays. Actually, I'm not sure if anyone has EVER threatened someone using 'bowels' in a sentence..
Well, anyway, seems like Kiryu's 'birthmark' is real unlike the fake one Yusei saw on some UNIMPORTANT dude in an earlier episode.
... Wait, so Yusei vs Kiryu.. is part of a battle 5000 years ago?! oAo;
So, Crow, on his D-Wheel, gets over there to check out the situation, but he's like "WTF?"
Same with Rally, Blitz, and them. Same "WTF?" reaction.
And the civilians. "WTF?" reaction again.
Then, cue to Carly, Jack, and Mikage on board a helicopter.
Yeah, probably.

Oh boy, take the helicopter lower? What is it that Jack wants to see? ( ... TRYING. TO. BE. DRAMATIC. )
And then HOLY CRAP JACK AND CROW KNOW EACH OTHER?! ( ... again, just trying to be dramatic.. ;w; )
And Jack still wants to lower the heli more. BUT IT'S TOO DANGEROUS. According to Mikage and the pilot, at least.. But Jack's all like "IDC. JUST LOWER IT." And then Kiryu's saying stuff about how he can never forgive them for what they did to him.. What did they ever do to you, Kiryu?
... Oh, I see. No wonder why you hate Yusei.

DON'T WORRY, KIRYU. I'LL ALWAYS BE ON YOUR SIDE~ >w>
Turns out the four of them used to be in a group, and used to be good friends.
And then Crow flashbacks to him losing a duel against some fugly guys...
... who beat him up because he might be bluffing about his friends coming to save him. (Well, it was just the fat guy who beat him up. )
... pure genius. Okay, so he WASN'T bluffing.

Team Satisfaction, huh? Niiiiice team name. (Sarcasm. Unless Kiryu made up the team name. )
SUDDENLY, AN EXPLOSION. WTF BOOM. XD
... Okay, random dudes whose eyes are glowing yellow.. ( I'm sure the middle guy's the best.)

And one of the fugly guys turn the lights off. Probably cuz he's scared of Team Satisfaction.
Well, also because Team Satisfaction jumped away like NINJAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. owo;
Yusei forces the fugly guy who turned the lights off to a duel, Jack gives Crow another Duel Disk who proceeds to duel the fugly fatty, and then Jack duels some other fugly guy.
AND THEN OMG KIRYU, ASDGFSAGASGDHASG >/////////< ... Uh, what I meant to say is that Kiryu forced the last fugly guy to duel with him. "Satisfy me" huh? Niiiiice catchphrase.. it's a bit.. well, it does have another meaning.. ;w; And then, the two intermissions of doom, also known as Mood-Ruiners. D<
... Kiryu, I love your colouring. <3

But then, the flashback ends and Dark Signer Kiryu is... well, laughing. AGAIN. >w>
On a side-note, Kiryu looks soooo cooooool in his Team Satisfaction outfit.

I guess I'll let Jack explain everything now >w>
"Back then, in Satellite, duel-starved Duel Gangs formed here and there, with each controlling their own zone. Back then, if we hadn't met Kiryu, we might have been crushed by Satellite, which had no way out, and turned into real garbage. To us, he was literally our saviour."

-Jack Atlas
... on another side-note, Kiryu sure is pale. >//////>
So, the second flashback ends and.. well, Kiryu seems pretty pissed, talking about his rage. D:
Yusei wants to know why Kiryu is a Dark Signer, but Kiryu just responds by laughing.. ADSFSADSGSDFA his laughter is music to my ears~
Kiryu explains about Speed World 2 and apparently damage that you take from monsters/effects will actually be.. real. Like, it'll actually hurt you.
Let's Duel! (Gotta love Kiryu's psycho expression.. )
So.. let the duel begin!
With Jack and Crow spectating.
I dunno how, but Kiryu goes first and summons Infernity Beast.
He also sets a card and ends his turn.
Yusei's turn: He summons Speed Warrior and attacks Infernity Beast (Speed Warrior's ATK Points are doubled during the Battle Phase of this turn), but Kiryu activates Depth Amulet. I'll let Kiryu explain the effect, cuz I'm too lazy to type it in my own words since I DID memorize the effect.. XD
"At the cost of one card in my hand, it negates an opposing monster's attack!"

-Kiryu Kyosuke
... But, Kiryu-sama, you forgot to mention that it only stays on the field for 3 of your Opponent's End Phases.. ;w;
Well, Kiryu laughs AGAIN ( for the.. what, 5th time? xD ) and can see through Yusei's deck because it hasn't changed at all. Wow. Genius. >w>
Yusei ends his turn by setting two cards.
OH BOY CG'd MOTORCYCLES AND FLAMES. xDD
... Excuse me? Infernity DEMON? I believe it's Infernity ARCHFIEND.

Kiryu's turn: He summons Infernity Archfiend and attacks Max Warrior with Infernity Beast. Like I said earlier, the damage is real so Yusei gets burned by Infernity Beast's fire and.. lol @ Kiryu laughing.
"Dance, Yusei! Dance the dance of death!"

-Kiryu Kyosuke

How sadistic. But Kiryu's cool like that, mmkay? >w> Kiryu's turn ends with Infernity Archfiend
attacking Yusei directly.
INFERNITY DERP

"Die and go to hell, Yusei!"

-Kiryu Kyosuke

Anyway, the episode ends with Kiryu laughing sadistically.. and then CUE CREDITS.

All in all, I'd say I loved this episode.
Mostly because of Kiryu, of course.
And the "also because of" is because of the opening (Last Train ~Atarashii Asa~ by knotlamp)
... Well, I guess that's all..
TERRIBLE AND HIDEOUS for a first review, amirite? D8

Saturday, March 5, 2011

Hi.

K, so, hi. I'm Kiryu Kyosuke (Or if you like, Kalin Kessler). Also known as Spinni/IAMSPINNI on various sites. My friend WhatsCrackin suggested that I should also review anime, games, etc. here, so that's why I'm here lol. Uhm.. Well, obviously, I like Yugioh 5DS. But I do like other stuff too. Before asking me to join a forum, I'm just gonna warn you in advance that I'll be a post wh*re. As in, post every day and have the most posts. After all, I DID get 19000+ in an old forum I went on a few years ago.. Er, if you wanna stalk me, I have a deviantART account and Youtube account.. So ask me for them, cuz I dunno how this "Blogger" thingy works yet. XDD I mean I did just type all this out today.. and yeah.. Oh, I kinda suck at writing so my posts might be a bit awkward, like.. "Uhm, oh, right, I forgot to mention.. blahblah lololol". And if it weren't obvious enough, I'm a girl.
Er.. I guess that's kinda it, feel free to ask me questions if you need to. ^^;
