More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers

Hello Everyone,

Hope you had a good weekend so far and hope Sunday is just as good. Hate to say it but tomorrow is Monday and a work day for me. I am sad.

By the way I was surprised that Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury ended the way it did. They ended it with a cliffhanger -_-. Now I have to wait till possibly April for the second season to release *sigh*.

So I found this anime on Crunchyroll and thought I would give it a watch and a chance and see what it’s all about.

Honestly I am liking it so far and will probably finish it.

You have the main guy who runs into this girl but the catch is he doesn’t like her and she doesn’t like him. She wants to be paired up with someone else and so does he. So they are working on getting to a certain rank and then changing partners.

This is a school assignment and if they don’t complete it then they wont be able to graduate. So this project the school randomly pairs up a guy and a girl and they have to act like a married couple. If they act negatively or don’t get along they lose points. If they are couple like and get along they gain points.

The main guy wants to be partnered with his childhood best friend and his first love and she wants to be partnered with a hot guy she has a crush on.

Alright let’s get into episode two.

While Jiro who is our main character guy is cleaning the bathroom he falls ill. Watanabe sends Shiori to his rescue and to help him get better. Which comes to a shock to Jiro who was not expecting her. He also thought Watanabe might be coming home early but she didn’t. Watanabe then wakes Jiro up from his slumber and wants him to watch a horror movie late at night. Then the power gets knocked out and Watanabe gets scared and jumps on Jiro. Oh yeah Jiro is also a virgin. Shiori and her partner and ranked as an E rank and Jiro and Watanabe are a B rank. A flashback to when Shiori and Jiro were little and in middle school. Jiro was going to confess to Shiori and that he loved her and then she asked if they would always be friends. Then Jiro gives Shiori advice and tells her that she can make a great wife. Jiro then tells Watanabe that he will be the best husband and help things work out between Shiori’s partner. This leaves her feeling angry for some reason. Is she falling for Jiro?

Next episode which is episode three.

Watanabe is wanting to make Shiori’s partner lunch and take it to him. Watanabe wants another kiss but they are interrupted by Shiori. Then Shiori tells Jiro and Watanabe that her partner requested apple pie. Then it puts her into a bad mood. Watanabe then tries to put the moves onto Jiro. Which leads to a downfall into their unofficial marriage. Shiori then has a talk with Jiro about Watanabe and tells him to talk to her. He knocks on her door and then proceeds to apologize and he wants to go back to normal again. Now they are back to being a married couple. Watanabe admits to liking Jiro. But what does this spell out for Shiori’s partner that she has a crush on? Guess we will see what happens in the next episode.

So my internet went down and I just finished watching this series. I used my phone lol. Don’t mind the typo and grammar errors. Anyways this anime was really good and I am sad there will be no more episodes. I won’t spoil the ending. So you will have to watch it to find out. I might read the manga later we’ll see. If I do I’ll let you know. This anime pulled at my heart strings.

It also had me laughing and sometimes I wanted to look away. But I couldn’t because it was good. Like when you have the oh no moments and want to look away. Yeah I had a few of those while watching. But I finished this anime and loved it.

It was definitely different from others that I have watched. Anyways you can find this anime on Crunchyroll. Please watch responsibly. If you want to know how it all ends then watch it and find out.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury

Hey guys!

It’s been awhile since I posted on here and the podcast. I work a 9 to 5 job. My weekends are spent decompressing and working on art etc. It leaves me little time to work on the blog these days.

I started this blog because at the time I had nothing to do minus college. So I didn’t really have a bedtime to worry about lol. I wish the days were simpler. Then I could dedicate more time to this blog.

Anyways I have been watching the new Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury.

I’m surprised it’s actually good and some things did surprise me. If you haven’t seen it go and watch it. You won’t regret it. I won’t give out to many spoilers.

Our main character is a girl and escapes her fate with her mother in a Gundam. She has given the Gundam a name and its name is Aerial. While escaping she loses her father. Her mother sends her to a school where mobile suits are the main subject. Upon arriving our main character sees someone outside. She then goes and rescues them. The rescued is not happy.

Then she is on the grounds and runs into the person she rescued. Now we introduce our other main character. Who is a bit feisty and shockingly the main characters bride. Before that our main character follows the rescued to a greenhouse. Then a man who is her fiancé begins trashing it out of anger. As the rescued tried to escape and embarrassed him. Our main hero steps in and slaps him. Then he wishes to duel our hero.

She accepts. Then the rescued shows up using Aerial. Our hero is not happy. Then the hero single handedly beat the guy. Which then our hero became engaged to the rescued. I think that is the main part that shocked me. I was not expecting that or prepared for it. I’m used to watching the other Gundam animes out there. But those do not inflict pain on the person operating the Gundam.

Honestly I am not to sure I like the idea of a Gundam inflicting pain on the pilot. In some ways it reminds me of Kakumeiki Valvrave. But the Gundam is not a vampire so to speak.

Another theme I am noticing as well is how disposable a person is. At least to certain adults in this show they mercilessly destroy those who cannot follow orders. I am not to sure if I like that either. Honestly I throughly enjoyed Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny, Gundam 00 (and its second season), Gundam Age, and Gundam: G no Reconguista. Iron Blooded Orphan wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’d watch it again. But for the sake of the blog I will keep watching this anime. It’s not bad I like it in some ways. Graphics and animation are smooth. Characters are interesting and unique in there own ways.

If you want to find out how this anime ends then you will have to watch it. Please use your local Crunchyroll for your anime streaming needs. It’s worth it to become a member as it helps the anime community thrive. It also helps anime creators receive the money they deserve. No I am not sponsored by them.

Anyways that is all for this post till next time. Au revoir and catch you on the flipside. Stay cool and be awesome!

Astra Lost In Space (Review #12) (Final)

Alright here we are with the final review of this anime. I won’t lie this anime has really grown on me and I am sad to see it end. But they have been in space for so long it’s time for them to return home and make their parents pay. Are you guys ready for the final review and episode? Let’s recap before we get down to business.

In the last episode we finally learn who the culprit is and who broke the communicator. The culprit then says everyone was right about the whole scheme their parents came up with. The parents wanted them dead and the culprit was to die alongside them. Also someone with higher power also ordered and it made them happy to hear that order. Then a big secret is revealed about Aries and it turns out she is also a clone but is related to the same person as the culprit. The same one who ordered them to kill everyone. Then the culprit pulls out another worm hole device. Kanata then steps in to stop him and then his arm gets caught in the process. The culprit turns off the device and then Kanata loses his arm.

Now that we’ve recapped everything from the last episode let’s get into the final episode and review.

Quitterie operated on Kanata as best as she could and managed to get him stable. The culprit then tells Zack to lock him up and then call the police and report him. Then Kanata appears and tells them no and it was his choice and he lost his arm because of it. Then he also says their is a choice to be made here and they need to decide. They finally got enough supplies and are going to leave the current planet behind. Now their final stop is Astra which is home and they can make their parents pay for everything. The culprit is now going to tell the truth about everything including the planet they call home.

The worm hole technology was released to the public and then war broke out and people began using it the wrong way. Everyone is learning that the higher ups rolled back the calendar. They just told people lies and then they believed them and the higher ups covered up history. Everyone estimated the year to be 2163 so Paulina actually slept for 112 years. They came up with a plan to send all the pictures and everything to Aries mom.

Then hopefully she was able to get into contact with a guy that worked with Ulgars older brother. All the originals were arrested and they were welcomed home by the government. The group finally made it home at last and now they are going to tell the truth about everything and embrace it. Seven years later Kanata, Zack and Charce are going back into space. Everyone in the group grew up and graduated high school and Paulina is teaching. The two people I shipped together well they decided to get married. I am so excited about that but I am sad that this series is coming to an end.

The episode ends with Kanata, Zack and Charce going off into space and then into a worm hole and going into the depths of space. I am sad to see this series end I can only hope there will be another season someday. I would really like to see all the planets they go to. I also want to see Kanata get married and have kids etc, would you guys want to see something like that to? Anyways that is all for this anime and review, I will hopefully have some new anime and reviews this week. Thank you for reading and following along as I watched this series. Stay safe everyone and keep watching anime and reading manga. I will see you all in the next review and au revoir for now.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #11)

A little recap before we get into this new episode and review.

We finally found who the culprit is and who broke the communicator at the beginning. They are also the king of clones and have always known they were a clone. I wonder what is going to happen in todays episode? Let’s get to it shall we? What will Kanata and the others do with the culprit? What will happen to them? So the culprit reveals a big secret about Aries and it explains why the culprit was also trying to kill her.

Kanata then goes and tries to change the culprits mind and asking why did they try and kill everyone? They told everyone that someone with power ordered it and told them to die with everyone. Which made them happy to hear and then they pull out a second worm hole device. They try to go into the worm hole but Kanata stops them and then loses his arm in the process.

Now all the pieces are falling into place and loose ends are getting tied up. What are your thoughts on this anime? The next review will be the final one of this series. I can only hope there will be a second season. If not then I will buy the manga and read on from there if the story continues after episode 12. Well stay safe everyone and keep watching anime and reading manga. I will see you in the next review and au revoir for now.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #10)

It’s time for another review of this anime, are you guys ready?

A little recap before we get into this new review and episode.

Everyone found out they are a clone of their parents and have decided to do something about it. So Zack and Quitterie have announced they are engaged and getting married. They only have one more stop before they arrive home and everyone is getting excited. I can’t shake this feeling that something bad is going to happen and soon. Alright that is the end of the recap. Let’s get into this new episode and review.

Polina just noticed that the planet she sees is not planet Earth but its Astra. She then says that is not Earth. What is going on? They realize their histories are different and some countries don’t exist. They don’t even know what or who God is. They have found an even bigger mystery. I wonder how will this all play out in the last two episodes. I also wonder what will become of Polina when she goes to Astra.

Seems like Kanata might know who the culprit is. This has been a big mystery since the show began and I wonder who it is? Now we finally know who it is, but I am not going to tell you. I don’t want to spoil this anime in case someone really wants to watch it. Sorry you will have to watch it for yourself to find out who it is. The culprit is also the same person who destroyed the communicator at the beginning of the journey.

The culprit is the king of clones wow I am shocked. If you really want to spoil things then you can google it or search for yourself. But I won’t be the one to ruin it for everyone if that’s okay? Anyways that is all for this review and episode. I wonder what will happen in the next episode? Alright guys be safe and keep watching anime and reading manga. I will see all of you in the next review and au revoir for now.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #9)

It’s time for another review of this anime, are you ready? Let’s recap a little bit in case you didn’t read the other review. In the last episode the crew thought, they were going to be stranded forever on the last planet. Then they came across another ship that was similar to theirs but older. Then Ulgar, Zack and Kanata decided to board the ship and to investigate.

They then found a message asking for help and someone was using the hibernation pod. They opened it up and found a woman was inside. They then learned that her crew had also gotten stranded. Eventually everything was worked out. The group found a way to fix their ship and left the planet. Then Quitterie noticed something odd after all the crew donated blood to help Polina. Now she wants to study everyone’s blood.

Shall we watch the new episode? Let’s see what Quitterie finds out and discovers. I wonder what else will happen in this episode? Zack discovered that Quitterie and Funicia are the same person. What does this all mean? How will this play out? Everyone has discovered that they are clones of their parents. But where does Aries fit into this? The parents are now having a meeting.

I wonder what will take place in this meeting. So the parents set up the whole thing from the start and they made sure their clones would disappear. Then there would be no bodies or anything because they already knew about them being clones. So Kanata and the others have decided to go home and then get revenge. They have decided to get back at their parents for what they have done. Kanata is asking all the crew members how they are doing. After learning the truth about their parents and their plan of trying to kill them. 

Quitterie and Zack have announced they are engaged to the whole crew. Now everyone is really happy and excited for them. They had a small party to celebrate the great and amazing news. Now they only have one more stop to make before they finally return home. What will happen in the next episode? Alright guys this is the end of this review please come back for the next one. Stay safe everyone and keep watching anime and reading manga. I will see all of you in the next review and au revoir for now. 

Astra Lost In Space (Review #8)

Alright guys it’s time for another review of this anime, are you ready? Last time the group found another ship that’s just like theirs. Then they entered the ship and found that someone was using the hibernation pod. It turned out to be a woman, but is she friend or foe? The woman made a comment about wanting to go home to Earth. What will the crew think or make of this? They may have found a way out of their predicament and just maybe they can go home.

Let’s see if they can make the impossible possible. So they were able to make the old parts of the other ship work with the current ship. Now they can leave the current planet soon hopefully, but I have a feeling something might happen in that little amount of time. Call it a hunch and let’s see if I am right or wrong about what might happen next.

They found the area where their new crewmate last got a signal from her old crewmates and then they found out what happened to them. Almost ending up the way they did if they hadn’t been warned by their new crew member. What will happen next and what else awaits them in the next episode? Alright I am going to leave the review at this. Stay safe everyone and keep watching anime and keep reading manga. I will see you all in the next review and au revoir for now.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #7)

Hey guys, sorry about this review being late. I was having computer issues which have been fixed recently and there has been a lot going on in my life. Which are things I can’t discuss but it’s put a lot of stress on me and it’s been affecting me physically. I feel like I have also lost my passion somewhere in all that chaos that’s my life right now. I have been doing art trying to use it as an outlet. It has helped immensely and I am getting back to how I used to be but things have definitely changed. Please be patient with me once more I am trying to put back all the broken pieces as best as I can. I am human and we do break occasionally and we just need time to get better again.

Other than that shall we get into this late review? Charce is another transfer student. Coincidence? Charce goes into his backstory and tells how he became a transfer student. The spaceship that they are using now, can no longer fly. What is next for this group and how will they come out of it? The planet they are on now will be their new home. The spaceship can no longer travel in space but it can fly on the current planet. How will the group survive now if they can’t make it home?

Another ship has been found and it’s just like the current one, but this time someone is using the hibernation pod. Who could it be and are they dangerous and friend or foe? I will leave it at that please come back for the next review of this anime. Alright guys stay safe and keep watching anime and reading manga. I will see all of you in the next review au revoir for now.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #6)

It’s another day so that means another review of this anime. Yesterday’s episode left off with a huge cliffhanger. Today I hope there will be more answers and not more questions. Let’s get into today’s episode and review. Ulgar is looking for revenge for his brother because he was writing a story on Luca’s father. That’s why he is holding a gun to Luca’s head. He also said that he wasn’t the assassin either. That is one question answered. But the assassin is still out there or among them and just who is it? A huge bomb just went off and I’m like in shock over here. Luca is a girl and a guy!? What!? On top of that he is adopted? Wow. I wasn’t expecting this at all and now I’m really glad I decided to watch this anime.

This anime is so interesting and different and I like it so far. I wonder what will happen next? Ulgar has decided to follow in his brothers footsteps and become a journalist. After escaping the island when it got hit by a tsunami. Then Luca and Ulgar had to be rescued by Kanata. Now there is something suspicious going on with Charce because Aries doesn’t remember him being in her class.

Well that is the end of the episode and review. Please come back again for the next one after this. Alright guys there is still some answered questions. I wonder if we’re getting close to solving the assassin mystery and who is it? Well guys keep watching anime and stay cool also don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. Au revoir for now and till next time catch all of you guys on the flip side.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #5)

Welcome to another review of this anime. I won’t lie I actually like this one better than Are You Lost?. This one the characters are better developed and have more to their back stories. They also have their own shares of struggles that are relatable in real life. Also not to mention the mystery and then a little romance. Maybe I just like my little bit of romance in anime it just makes me happy. Also I like to be able to ship some characters together. Anyways let us get into this anime review.

Yunhua who wants to be a singer and the member that ran off in the last episode. Well she asked Luca to give her a haircut and now she looks totally different, but I like the new look. Aries mom is starting to worry and was hoping that she sent some new mail but she hasn’t. Now the news is also reporting them missing, and I wonder if they know the communicator is broken?

The parents are having a meeting and Ulgar’s dad wants to declare them legally dead. As the search for them has been suspended. Aries mom is fighting to continue the search but this time search space. She explains the boats engines were never activated. Also she said they wouldn’t have swam out into the ocean with all their luggage. Ultimately they decided they couldn’t get any further and agreed to stop searching completely. Leaving Aries mom in tears and crying because she’s upset.

There might be a possible romance budding I hope it works out. I’ve already been shipping them together and they would make a really cute couple. I am talking about Aries and Kanata. Problems are starting to begin now. Ulgar has Luca at gun point. I wonder what Ulgar knows about Luca that he isn’t telling anyone else? Is Ulgar the person who broke the communicator? So many questions I wonder what will happen next in the next episode.

Alright guys with the end of the episode that means the review is at its end. We only have 7 episodes left and it leaves me wondering how things will play out. As we get to the end of this anime. Well guys keep watching anime stay safe and au revoir for now. Till next time I will catch all of you on the flip side.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #4)

Hello everyone and good morning. I hope your enjoying that morning cup of coffee or if you don’t drink coffee. I hope your enjoying your beverage of choice. I am here to write another review on this anime. Last review and episode everyone discovered there is a killer among them. Who is it? Is the same person that broke the communicator? Let’s get into this episode and review.

So the voice actor of Aries I’m pretty sure it’s the same person that did Lacus Cline. Those that don’t know that character, she is from one of my favorite anime’s of all time. That anime would be Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and then of course Destiny as well. I also think she does some other characters as well. Captain has ordered the others not to look for the killer. But it’s still quite a mystery and I feel like I might know who it is. Let’s see if I’m right about who I think it is.

Well one of the members has run off and has asked to stay on the current planet and be left there. Now everyone needs to band together and find their member. We learned that she ran away because she felt useless. She just wanted to be invisible. That’s how her mother raised her and then she told the captain about her dream. She wanted to be a singer but her mother told her to never tell anyone.

Isn’t that just sad? Anyways that is all for this review and episode. Stay tuned I will be back with another one tomorrow. Till then keep watching anime and stay cool and au revoir for now. I’ll be catching all of you on the flip side.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #3)

I am back with another review of this anime and the mystery is deepening more and I am curious to see who the culprit is. I hope everyone is doing good today and let us get into this new review of this anime. I am curious to see what happens in today’s episode. Is it me or does Aries bear a resemblance to the Aries from Fairy Tail?

Aries in this anime her mannerisms are much like the Fairy Tail version unless it’s just me. I will add that watching the dubbed version of this anime is different. The captain is trying to find who the culprit that is responsible for breaking the communicator. Will the captain find the person and hold them responsible? Got some very new and interesting developments and now that everyone knows. I wonder how this shocking news will play into everything now and how will everyone adjust?

The crew almost faced death but with seconds to spare they were able to save themselves from dying. I won’t lie I was getting nervous that they wouldn’t make it and would die. But then that would end the anime right there, wouldn’t it? Then there is a member of the crew that is hiding something, is he possibly the killer? Was he the one that ultimately broke the communicator so no one could come rescue them? I am very curious to see what happens in the next episode and see what new evidence comes to light in this anime. Anyways that is it for this anime review. Please come back for the next one and until then keep watching anime. Stay cool my friends and au revoir and catch all of you on the flipside.

Are You Lost? (Review #4) (Final)

This will be my final review of this anime due to this anime’s episodes only being twelve minutes long. My thought on this anime is, why didn’t they make the episodes longer? Then you could have had more character development and had each character grow a little more. Or at least have more backgrounds for these characters doesn’t have to be sad per se, but give these characters more meat than what you did. That’s really the only thing that bothered me a little. Yes I like anime’s where there is more of a story and to watch a character grow and or it has a happy ending.

I like this anime to a point and I think it’s good for the episodes being short. Yet I feel like there are things missing from this anime. I feel like the characters at least three of them could use more development. We have the one girl who we know that her dad taught her survival skills in case something like her getting stranded. But what about the remaining girls? Do they have backstory’s at all or are they not important to the story being told here?

Ultimately I will let you dear readers to form your own verdict on whether you want to watch this anime. As for the blog this is the final review I will be doing and I am aware there is another season. But if there is going to be no character development then I don’t feel like watching it anymore. Please let me know in the comments on what you think and feel about this anime. Until next time keep watching anime and stay cool and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. Au revoir for now and catch you all on the flipside of things.

Are You Lost? (Review #3)

Here we are with another review of this anime and I know this review will be short because the episodes are only about twelve minutes or so. As you know there is not a lot that can happen in twelve minutes. I am thinking of making the next review the last and then just watch all of them and then say what I thought about the anime etc. In this episode they did a patch test and then learned how to cook animals of the sea etc. I wish these episodes were longer and not twelve minutes but it is what it is tho. Anyways till next time stay cool/warm guys and au revoir. I will see all of you guys in the next anime review.

Astra Lost In Space (Review #2)

Here we are with another review of this anime and I am excited to get into this anime as it’s rather growing on me. So let’s get into this review and see what happens today in this episode. In the last episode, they made a plan to jump from planet to planet until they can get home. Let’s see if all goes right today and they can do what they need to do. In this episode, we did have a little drama and then a fight happened and then the little sister of a character almost gotten eaten. But luckily she was saved by the captain but he to almost died if it weren’t for the little sister’s older sister coming to his rescue. Then a new mystery has started to unfold and someone broke the communicator. It wasn’t damaged but someone recently cut the wires so it was done by someone on the ship. Who could it be? I do have a few guesses as who it might be but I will know more once I watch more of this anime. As to what I think of this anime right now I am liking it even more. It’s fun to watch some of the characters have fun and enjoy themselves but also have some seriousness and danger and can’t forget the mystery as well. What are your guesses on who might be the culprit? If you are watching along with me and remember if you watched it don’t spoil it for others (more or less it’s for me as I like a good mystery now and then.) Let me know in the comments who you think it is. Well, guys till next time stay cool/warm and au revoir. Also, keep up with the manga and anime. I will see all of you guys in the next review. See you then.

 

Side Note: If you are new to my blog and wonder why I don’t say what I am planning to watch is because even I don’t know. Sometimes I just pick a random anime and decide to do a review on it. If I don’t like it then at least you know I am being honest and if I love it then I am still honest. I will always be straight on how I feel and like an anime and that’s why I started this blog.

Are You Lost? (Review #2)

Here we are with another review of this anime and I will warn these reviews for this anime will be short. The episodes are roughly twevle minutes or so. In the last episodes two of the girls went off in search for water. Let us begin the review for the second episode of this anime. In this episode they got food and the water of course and now all they need is shelter. Which they will accomplish that in episode three and now this is where I end my review. As I said this anime’s episodes are very short next time I will check to see how long the episodes are so I can get you guys longer reviews. But for now this will just have to work.
