Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ - Episode 12 (FINAL)

NOTE: Blank spots indicate spoilers. Hilight to view.
Hazumu has put the two girls through about as much stress as she has been experiencing, and now it's time to make a decision. He must decide between Tomari, his loyal childhood friend, and Yasuna, his first love. Hazumu loves both girls very much, but as Ayuki said, if he doesn't choose soon, the two 'flowers' will wither.
What a wonderful conclusion to a beautiful series. The final episode of Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ pulls you into the hearts of the main characters so that you may experience the same love, heartbreak, joy, and sorrow that they do. There are mixed feelings about Hazumu choosing Yasuna. A lot of viewers beleive he should have chosen Tomari instead. His decision was definitely a surprise, but in the end, Hazumu did what he had to and wanted to do. If you are a crier, there's about a 90% chance you will cry at this episode.

Overall Conclusion

Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ was probably one of the most touching series I have experienced. This series wonderfully and accurately depicts the ups and downs of any love life. First love, rejection, change, jealousy, and extremely difficult decisions. A funny, cute, romantic series that is a must for any yuri fan. If you've ever been unsure of what love is, why it exists, what it feels like, or how to deal with it, this anime will give you all the answers you need. I highly reccomend it.

COMING UP: Nyan Koi!

Junpei Kousaka is a second-year high school student who despises cats and has an allergy to them. It just so happens that his high school crush is Kaede Mizuno, a girl who adores cats. One day, while walking home from school, Junpei kicks an empty can and unfortunately beans the local neko-jizou-sama (guardian deity of cats). He finds he can now understand what cats are saying, including his family's own ill-tempered cat, Nyamusas. However, if he does not grant 100 wishes from cats, he will turn into a cat himself.

Sorry...I've already seen three episodes of this series, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to start there. Anyway, I loved this series from the beginning. The cats are cute, the characters are loveable, and the story is quite creative. I look forward to watching and reviewing this series.


B Gata H Kei - Episode 12 (FINAL)


THIS IS IT!!! At last, the conclusion to B Gata H Kei! Yamada tries to get Kosuda to pick up where they left off, (so much for taking it slow) but she is too embarrased to tell him up front, and Kosuda is as dense as always. When he finally gets the message, they decide to go to a hotel and try again. Will they succeed? Then, Kosuda ends up in the hospital after fracturing his ankle, and Yamada decides to play nurse and seduce him.

Well, as you probably had guessed from the beginning, Yamada and Kosuda didn't end up doing it. But even so, this ending was pretty satisfying. The best was the end credits, which were basicly a montage of the whole series from episode one. I think the goal here was to make you miss the series, and this goal was absolutely obtained.




Overall Conclusion
B Gata H Kei is definitely not the best series out there, but it is absolutely one of the funniest. It hillariously depicted sexual desires in teenagers and the progression of a relationship. If you're looking for something clean and tasteful, this is probably not for you. However, if you're looking for something that will make you laugh your ass off, no matter how perverse the methods, you have found the perfect series. I reccomend this to pretty much anyone who can handle a few sexual jokes and a LOT of ecchi.

Final Thought: "I can't beleive I actually watched this...but I'm so glad I did."

B Gata H Kei - Episode 11

In the first half, the Kanejou's are having a huge Christmas party at their mansion and invite the whole class, including Yamada and Kosuda. Yamada's goal is to find a "secret room" in the mansion so she and Kosuda can finally do it. However, Kanejou thinks she is referring to the love shrine she made for her brother and is determined to make sure they don't get there. In the second half, could it be? Yamada and Kosuda are finally going to do it? Yamada has Kosuda on the bed already unzipped! But Kanejou watching the whole thing through secret cameras and is determined to show her brother so he will stop liking Yamada.
This was a really great episode. There wasn't much comedy, but a LOT of satisfaction. Not only does Yamada go far enough with Kosuda that you are mostly satisfied, but she finally realizes thar she is rushing and needs to slow down. Now all she needs to do is fall in love with Kosuda. Will it happen? We'll find out in the final episode! MAXIMUM EXCITEMENT! ^_^

B Gata H Kei - Episode 10



In the first half, Kosuda and Yamada go on their first date in a while, but are interrupted when Kaneijou's brother shows up and confesses that he likes Yamada. Yamada quickly turns him down, beleiving he is too hot to be a virgin. However he tells her he is. Yamada is shocked and starts to reconsider. In the second half, Kanejou is super pissed that her beloved brother is in love with Yamada. She plans to get revenge by stealing Kosuda away from her.




THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! B Gata H Kei is back baby! It feels good to once again laugh myself into tears. Ohh sweet ROFL's! How I missed you! Anyway, this episode was very satisfying. And yes, it did focus just a little bit more on Kanejou's relationship with her brother. But I'm still wondering when they're gonna dedecate an episode to it. I think that's what they need right now.

B Gata H Kei - Episode 9


In the first half, Kosuda confesses to Yamada properly. The only problem is, he does it in front of the entire school, and the embarrased Yamada turns him down reflexively. Yamada finally realizes in the back of her mind that she might actually like Kosuda rather than just wanting to get in his pants. However, she constantly denies it. This half was more sweet than funny. There were a few good laughs, but it was nice to step away from the comedy for a second for a more heartwarming mood.




In the second half, Kanejou's older brother Keichi visits and comes to watch the sports festival. Kanejou is lovestruck, (yeah she's in love with her brother. Didn't I mention that?) Kosuda is jealous, and Yamada just doesn't give a shit. This half did get back into the humorous mood of the series, but I really wish they had focused more on Kanejou and her brother. The plot twist with Kanejou being in love with her brother (although creepy) was very creative and hillarious. I was excited to see them together, but I wasn't too satisfied. However, I was quite satisfiesd with the resolution to the conflict between Yamada and Kosuda.

TOP 5: Most Destructive Anime Characters

NUMBER 5

Our number five most destructive anime character is...actually five characters. The combined effort of the entire main cast of The Wallflower has helped them steal a spot on the list. Without even trying, these four gorgeous boys and this way beyond creepy girl manage to either hurt someone, destroy a building, or blow something up in just about every episode. And Sunako is so creepy, she breaks lights and wilts flowers just by walking around. So what the heck is the landlady doing entrusting her expensive mansion to five teenage wrecking balls? I haven't the faintest.

Number 4
The number four spot goes to Sora Hitoshi from Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ who hasn't really destroyed much property wise, but did manage to destroy a boy's life by crushing his body with his alien spaceship and accidentally reconstructing him as a girl. What does he do to apoligize? He broadcasts the story to the whole city, thus making the poor boy into a local celebrity constantly chased by reporters. He then continues to move into his house, mooch off him and his parents, and constantly conduct personal experiments on the poor victim. But hey, he's a heartless alien. He doesn't know any better





Number 3

Number three goes to the infamous Dokuro Mitsukai from Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan. You can assume anyone who carries a huge spikey club around has got to be destructive, and at least in Dokuro-chan's case, you'd be right. This girl violently kills Sakura at least twice in every episode. So not only is the guy dead, but now there's blood and guts all over the walls and doors. Sure, she always brings him back to life, but it still kinda sucks to have your head blown off with a club.






Number 2




Full Metal Panic? Fummofu's Sosuke Sagara has stolen our number two spot. Anyone surprised? Didn't think so. Sosuke is a millitary freak who can't seem to figure out that blowing shit up in a peaceful community is a big no-no. Anyone who carries a gun (or several) to school is most likely bad news. Sagara seems to think it's okay to wave a gun around like it's nothing, and that dedination is the solution to any problem you may face. Needless to say, this leads to a lot of destruction.
















Number 1



And the number one spot goes to Excel Excel from Excel Saga! Why? Well let's see. She hits people with suitcases, kills the original Manga artist, causes about fifty car crashes, beats up her work friend, blows up a building killing that work friend, and tries to eat a stray dog all in episode one. Need more? Well for one thing, she works for a secret orginization that plans to take over the city. Which, I'll admit, you could blame on her leader, Il Palazzo, but at least he keeps his ass in his chair and out of the city. And I can't tell you how many buildings (and space ships) she's either blown up or set on fire. Thus, Excel Excel is without a doubt the most destructive character in anime.
