Beelzebub Episode 10 Summary: New Friend and Daycare!

 Hey guys! It's Liz reporting in with a summary of Beelzebub not literally up my sleeve :D  So, let's get started! Well, first off, you can see that Baby Beel isn't very happy.... The beginning of the episode starts with Baby Beel very upset and having random outbursts resulting in electrifying explosion!  I'm surprised that Oga's house isn't destroyed by now-
Meanwhile, we get a flashback to see why Baby Beel is mad in the first place.  It appears that when Oga, Hida, Baby Beel and the guy with the mustache were walking down the street after Oga bought a croquet.  Oga offered Baby Beel some of the croquet, but as he was about to hand it to Baby Beel, a cat came out of now where are took the croquet and started eating it!!
 This cat  eats the croquet and finds itself completely drawn to Oga.  He jumps on to Oga's shoulder just as Baby Beel does- and this is a no-no to Baby Beel! The cat follows the gang home, and so on.  Babyb Beel is immediately jealous of the cat because it is taking Oga's attention from him.  So, Baby Beel challenges the cat to a duel!
Baby Beel dresses up like this XD  Well, let's just say is was a quick match XD The cat won right away, because Baby Beel is weaker when not with Oga (because he needs a vessel to channel his own power).  Next thing you know, a group of other cats show up and threaten the cat.  Baby Beel protects the cat by standing in front of it, then Oga walks up to the group of cats and scares 'em away.  The cat feels honored by Baby Beel's manliness, and asks Baby Beel if he will teach it and be his mentor.  Baby Beel decides to teach the cat and they instantly become friends!
  Baby Beel even shares a croquet with the cat! A new disciple was gained!
Meanwhile, Oga takes Baby Beel and the cat to daycare... he runs into the girl from the park there (whom is actually Kunieda, but he doesn't even realize it thrugh her disguise)!  So, he takes the cat and Baby Beel into the daycare play room and he and the girl (Kunieda in disguise) chat.  Meanwhile, in the daycare room, Baby Beel and the cat compete with the other daycare kids on who can build the biggest stack of blocks.  Baby Beel and the cat win, and a sense of rivalry builds between them and the other babies there. But a new friendship has been gained between Baby Beel and Kunieda's little brother!  In the mean time, as Oga and Kunieda are chatting, Kunieda once again misinterprets the things that Oga is saying.  For example, he said he could sense a "spark" between them,  but he was referring to Kunieda's brother and Baby Beel.  Kunieda misterprets hat he is talking about he and Kunieda's chance for a relationship.  That's Kunieda for ya!  Oga is completely oblivious to the blushing Kunieda and he tells her about this broad swordswoman at his school that he tried to dumop Baby Beel on.  Ofcourse, a big sense of rage blows up, and nearly destroys the daycare!!  The girl exclaims that she infact is Kunieda and epic Japanese words pop up! BROOKLYN RAGE!!!! (see the brooklyn rage yugioh abrdged video on youtube if you don't know what i mean) XD
Oga is still oblivious to Kunieda's feelings and misinterprets that she has feelings of friendship for Baby Beel instead.
On the way home, Oga, Baby Beel, and the cat see a group of other cats from before.  They now respect the cat that was with Baby Beel, and the cat decides to join the other cats.  There is a goodbye and farewell between the two, and now, they are going their separate ways.  And there you have it! This is Liz here, thanks for reading my summary- over and out!
 Stayed tuned for my summary on the next episode! :)

Strawberry Panic Episode 1 Summary :)

 Hey guys! It's Liz here with a summary of the first episode of Strawberry Panic up my sleeve yo! I previously reviewed the series in February, but now, I decided to start summarizing some of the episodes.  Of course, you all know that Tamao (the character in the image above) is my favorite!  So now, I shall begin!
 It all starts with the protagonist of the show, Nagisa Aoi, on her way  to Astrea Academy, an all-girls' private school ^ ^  When she reaches the outside of the academy, she admires all of the other girls' uniforms and isn't paying attention to where she is running, and tumbles down a hill through trees!  Confused, Nagisa is now lost and doesn't know where to go in this forest since she fell... 
 All of a sudden, out from behind a tree, a silver-haired girl appears! O.O  To Nagisa's surprise, she falls backwards!  Then, the silver-haired girl picked up the belonging tht Nagisa dropped and handed it to her.
 Next thing you know, the mysterious girl kisses Nagisa on the forehead!!!!!!! Then, Nagisa faints, and soon wakes up to.....
 THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!  Nagisa is then freaked out, and then remembers why she fainted in the first place.  This blue haired girl introduces herself as Tamao, and tells Nagisa that she is her new roommate.  She then asks Nagisa if she can borrow a moment of her time...  Tamao then pulls out a roll of measuring tape and takes Nagisa's measurements.  She claims that it is for Nagisa's uniform, but I think that Tamao just wanted Nagisa's measurements anyway XD
Then, Tamao gives Nagisa a tour of the Strawberry Dorms where she will be staying.  Nagisa then asks Tamao why she took her measurements, and she says that it is for her book of everything about Nagisa :D
 Next thing you know, it is time for dinner, and Nagisa sees the silver haired girl from before that kissed her on the forehead!  Nagisa then confronts the girl, not knowing who she is or anything.  Little does Nagisa know that this silver-haired girl is the Etoile of Astrea Academy O.O  When Nagisa soon discovers this, she is deeply embarrassed and doesn't know what to do, because whenever she looks into the silver-haired girl's eyes, she can't move (like sheh is overwhelmed by her beauty or something).
 The Etoile then grabs Nagisa around the waist and Nagisa tells her,  "You can't do this!".  Then the Etoile says, "Who says I can't?"  And is just about to kiss her, when she is stopped by Rokujo, a girl with short blue hair and yellow eyes (you'll recognize her when you see the episode). 
Later that evening, Nagisa and Tamao get ready for bed.  Alot of exciting things await!  Lemme tell ya, this is one awesome show :D
 Stay tuned for the next episode to see what happens next! This is Liz, over and out! Thanks for reading my summary :)

Strawberry Panic Review (hot off the press)

 Hey guys! It's Liz here with a review on Strawberry Panic!  Strawberry Panic is a romantic/comedy shoujo-ai anime (one of the best anime out there, in my opinion).
  The story of the anime revolves around Nagisa (as seen in the image above) transferring to an all-girl Catholic school, called Astrea Academy.  On her first day there, she stunbles into a silver long-haired girl (little does she know that this woman is none other than the Etoile).  The Etoile is the most respected student of Astrea Hill Academy.  There are three schools on the campus throughout the strawberry dorms: Miator (the one that Nagisa is in), Lerim, and Spica.  Nagisa soon finds a hierarchy throughout the school, and, with her newfound feelings towards Shizuma, decides to face her past head on. Now, lemme introduce the characters :D
 This is Shizuma Hanazono, a bold, attractive woman with long silver hair.  She is none other than the Etoile of Astrea Academy.  She develops feelings for Nagisa instantly while overcoming the pain of loss of her first love, Kaori. (but I shall not spoil too much for ya)
 This is Tamao, my favorite Strawberry Panic character :D
She has a great personality- she is kind, loyal, honest, and is always there for Nagisa.  She has secret feelings for Nagisa and is going through the hard time of unrequited love :( 
Love triangle here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 This is Amane.  She is the "prince" of Spica girl's academy.  All of the girls simply adore her, and she is one of the most popular students at the academy. 
 This is Hikari- she falls head-over-heels for the "prince" of Spica, Amane.  She sings in the Saintly choir and is best friends with Yaya.
 This is Yaya.  She is best friends with Hikari, and also sings in the Saintly choir.  She has secret feelings for Hikari and is going through mixed emotions of unrequited love as well.  She always supports ikari no matter what, and is always faithfully by her side.
 The characters of this anime are simply wonderful, and it is very easy to relate to each individual character's problems if you've ever been in love.  This anime is about true love, being yourself, friendship, pain of loss, and unrequited love.  It is a beautiful series, I must say!  There are 26 episodes total, each about 21 minutes each.  I would give this anime an OVER 9000/10!!
and there you have it! oh yeah, and there's also a manga for strawberry panic as well! there are two volumes total and you can find it in your local bookstore/anime store.  The manga is great as well- a little different from the anime, but still good :D
this is Liz, over and out!

Beelzebub Episode 9 Summary: Kunieda vs Oga! Again!

 Hey guys! It's Liz here with a summary up my sleeve (not literally) of Beelzebub episode 9 :)  Basically, Oga still won't give up and manages to atleast attempt to push Baby Beel onto the Queen, Kunieda Aoi rather.  Now, let's get started!
 This is how Kunieda sees Oga and Baby Beel XD Meanwhile, Kunieda is falling head-over-heels for Oga, and her friends remind her, that, as part of their rule, if you have a boyfriend, you're out of the group.  That is their number one code and law. 
Next thing you know, rumors are going around that Oga has a "wife", and Kunieda gets the wrong idea as usual XD
Soon after, Hilda and Kunieda engage in an epic battle! Of course, it is pretty much a draw, and Hilda tells Kunieda that it was an honor fighting her.  In the mean time, Kunieda's two friends approach Oga and then it goes to the next scene where these guys are telling everyone that Oga beat Kunieda's friends up!  Rumor has it that Oga is now on the roof. 
 Enraged, Kunieda goes to the top of the roof to battle Oga. 
No major damage occurs, but Kunieda's friends wake up in the nurse's office and rush to tell Kunieda the truth before it is too late!
You see, we soon find out that Oga wasn't the guy who beat the two girls up.  It was a couple other delinquents as a matter of fact!  While Kunieda's friends rush to tell her the truth, a group of guys known as the "mood-ruiners" (or somethin like that) get in their way, and won't let Kunieda's friends by.  As a result, they are unable to tell Kunieda the truth in time...but not to worry, for Kunieda finds out soon enough through a delinquent.  The truth is, Kunieda's friends just went to talk to Oga, and then Baby Beel crawled off of Oga's back and battled a cat!
 Yes, he battled a cat! and lost! (poor Baby Beel) soon after the cat bit Baby Beel, he started to cry.  In fear that Baby Beel would electricute bystanders nearby, Oga runs off with Baby Beel and then the delinquents show up and beat up Kunieda's friends...
 Kunieda comes to a realization, and now understands.  So now, Oga and Baby Beel beat up the delinquents who were behind this big mess, and put them in their place!
 Once again, Oga and Baby Beel save the day! :D
In the end of the episode, it shows Oga and Baby Beel walking down the street.  Kunieda and her friends
walk up to them, and Kunieda shows Oga that she is no longer wearing her group uniform- instead, she is wearing her school uniform.  This shows that Kunieda no longer abides to being part of the group, and that she didn't like the rule that love is forbidden.  So, she quit!
  And that's the ninth episode of Beelzebub for ya in a nutshell! Stay tuned for the new episode soon ^ ^
This is Liz, over and out!

Beelzebub Episode 8 Summary: Kunieda vs Oga!

 Hey guys!! It's Liz here with a summary on episode 8 of  Beelzebub!! Just in case you never saw Beelzebub before, it is about a juvenile delinquent named Oga, who, through strange circumstances, is raising a baby! A DEMON BABY!! (son of the demon lord as a matter of fact)

 In the beginning of the episode, Kunieda Aoi, or the Queen of Ishiyama, rather, is searching for Oga.  She doesn't realize that this was the man in the park the other day-  and all she has in mind is to stop this Oga guy she hears of from causing more destruction!  So, Kunieda and her friends return to the juvinile delinquent school in search of him, causing fear on the other delinquents behalf.  All of the other delinquents are afraid of Kunieda, which means that she seriously packs a punch! She then catches up with Oga and challenges him to a battle!
  And of course, she then realizes that it was the guy from the park the other day!!! She is relieved that Oga doesn't recognize her, but she fears that Baby Beel might!!!
  Here is a picture of Baby Beel staring down Kunieda, because I think that he has a feeling that she was the one from the park XD
So, Oga and Kunieda got down to business, and started fighting!! Oga managed to dodge Kunieda's attack, and then asked her to be the mother of Baby Beel!!!!!!!!!!!!
 "HUH????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kunieda exclaims...
Of course, we all know that Kunieda always misinterprets things, and she got the wrong idea XD
After she calls Oga a BAKA and declines, she runs off. 
Next thing we know, she is staring out the window wondering if Oga is really that bad of a guy- (I dunno about you, but I think she is developing feelings for him)
and there you have it!

Beelzebub episode 7 Summary : First Park Debut!

 Hey guys!! It's Liz (crispy) again with a review not literally up my sleeve!! :D  Today I'm gonna be reviewing Beelzebub episode 7.  Just for the scoop incase you never saw Beelzebub before, it is about a juvinile delinquent, who, through strange circumstances, is raising a baby! A DEMON BABY(the son of the demon lord, actually)   In the beginning of this episode, it shows Kanzaki and Himekawa, two delinquents that Oga beat up in previous episodes, lying in two hospital beds.  They hope that Oga gets back what he did to them.  And boy, they sure got beat!
 Meanwhile, at Oga's house, his family encourages he and Hilda (the maid from the underworld that serves Baby Beel) to go on a park debut so that they can socialize and meet other parents inorder to make a good impression on the neighborhood.  So, Oga ends up going with Baby Beel on his first Park Debut! O.O

Before making an appearance, Oga is training by literally throwing Baby Beel like a football and catching him!!!  He throws Baby Beel atleast 500 feet or so XD
  And this is Baby Beel's reaction to Oga throwing him like a football..................................................................................................

Samurai Champloo: Beatbox Samurai :D

  Hey guys!! It's Liz (crispy) here with a review on samurai champloo.  Samurai Champloo is personally my favorite samurai-based anime hands down!! It is a 26 episode animated series directed by the director of Cowboy Bebop: Shinchiro Watanabe!!! You can definitely see the awesome action style between both cowboy bebop and samurai champloo- it's easy to tell that the same director directed it :D

The plot revolves around this waitress named Fuu that is searching for a man- a samurai who smells of sunflowers.  In the beginning, her restaurant is harassed by a group of bad swordsmen- a guy in a red shirt with a sword (Mugen) comes into the restaurant and tells Fuu, the waitress, that he'll take care of those guys for her if she gives him 50 dumplings. XD
She agrees eventually, by offering 400 dumplings!! Then, Mugen kicks all their butts!  Then a samurai in a blue robe comes in (Jin) and Mugen assumes that he is a bad guy too, and fights him-
I won't spoil too much, so I'll cut to the chase- that's how they meet and they agree to help Fuu find the samurai who smells of sunflowers from a bet on a coin toss.  So, they set off on their jorney together- and this story proves that the journey is more important than the destination.
 This is Fuu, the former waitress.  She is an interesting character- a tough girl with a BIG appetite!!! Sometimes, she gains 1000 pounds!! (then burns it all off by the end of the episode)  She has a squirrel companion named Momo.
  This is Mugen, the brash samurai that acts before he thinks.  Always letting everyone know what he thinks, and he is a great character (my favorite of the series actually :D)  He fights in an unclean, sloppy, breakdancing style.  He is also known for being lecherous and womanizing. He goes by his own rules, following his own path, he doesn't go with the crowd.  He is carefree and reckless.
 This is Jin, the quiet man of few words.  He fights clean, is disciplined, serious, and hard working.  He is burdened for what he did in the past (won't spoil it for ya).  He too follows the path of the samurai-wandering the earth, until he meets Fuu and Mugen.
 I must say, the soundtrack is hip-hoppin awesome! With beatbox rap, and the opening by Nujabes, this is truly catchy and will make you wanna tap your feet!  I love the art style, and the characters really get close to you, they attach to you, and you always remember them for their originality and uniqueness.  Each individual episode has it's own unique adventure-  I love the titles for each episode, too!  I may even review certain episode in the future.  I would definitely give this anime an OVER 9000/10 !! One of my top ten anime, actually!!!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there is also a manga for Samurai Champloo! There are two volumes published total.  And it has a different story from the anime, but I would still recommend both the anime and manga to any samurai/action fan :D
This is is Liz, over and out!
