Toonami (that shows many anime and more) was a cool show that died years ago until it somehow showed up today on Cartoon Network at late night which is Adult Swim. So basically, it's Toonami on Adult Swim. But, there was no announcement that it will be fully revived and it could be a April Fools joke or a hoax. Though, the good news is that the show is bringing back memories to the fans who had miss it. This Toonami appearance might be actually revived.

Note that the show is broadcasting in the United States.

This was a cool slice of life episode. It's a aftermath since the mysterious ghost ship adventure.I liked how the characters acted, well, normally. It just basically reminds me of those slice of life genre anime. So, our gang hangs out and pretty much having fun in this entire episode. There is also some more character development and relationship between the characters. Though, the characters are getting more lively on every episode which is great. Besides that, I have not much to say. Overall, the episode is not bad but I can't wait for the action on the next.

Conclusion: Sweet slice of life episode.

Personal Note: I messed up with my April Fools joke. Lol.

So, we get to basically get to see Palutena have her own anime adventure exclusive for the Nintendo Video or 3DS! This last short anime clip is actually way better than Thanatos Rising and Medusa's Revenge. The graphics are so cool and actually looks like an actual full anime series. Also, Palutena is really plain cute in this two part anime short clip series. Pit and the minor support characters were nice but their roles were not big since the main focus is Palutena herself which is quite a good thing. But, for some reason, this anime reminds me of the typical magical girl genre due to Palutena's magical action scenes but that is also not a downer. I don't really have complaints besides saying this is the best anime clip short compare to the previous. Overall, the story is nice, simple and not childish (meaning that it doesn't exactly focus for the children).

Conclusion: Cute anime two part shorts clip series. It's way better than the previous two.

Whoa... This episode was so cool. It was just entirely action packed and it looks like the finale! Pretty much, we get to see the entire gang fight against the mysterious dragon with a nice ending twist. But, there's suppose to be a thirteenth after and I hope that comes out. Anyway, the characters nicely played their roles just like the ending episodes from the previous seasons. Also, the creators introduced some more new things like weapons and scenes from the two worlds. So, there's really not much besides that. They basically once again, put in mostly action. Though, I have to say the credits is quite surprising. In conclusion, the ending is just plain decent and it could have been way better but it's not bad.

Conclusion: The ending-ish episode is not bad but could have been better.

Update: This episode has been confirmed to be the final.

Well, that was sweet! The creators did another nice job in this episode. Now, I have really more high hopes on the next episode. On the way how the creators managed on this second episode feels like a whole new thing following the same formula like Avatar: The Last Airbender. The action was of course, very awesome and the story is pretty good. The episode introduces new characters for the cast and more relation development between Aang's son and Korra. Also, we finally get to see Korra do her first Air bending training which the series was intended for and what we all had been waiting. In conclusion, this is series is getting way better and could be one of the successful sequels out there compare to the rest.

Besides that, in case you didn't know, the creators are planning to air the first episode on Nickelodeon in the US which is much earlier than the original release date because the fans did many likes on the official Facebook page and other things.

Conclusion: Awesome action episode and can't wait for the next one.

This episode was so awesome! The mysterious ghost ship adventure was quite interesting. I liked how the events turn after another. Also, the roles for the characters and how they worked as a team was cool. But, unfortunately, there's only thirteen episodes total for the series and I don't know how the creators will end the finale. Though, I kinda find the series too short but I do hope that there will be a second season. Besides that, the action was okay but it wasn't that good like I was expecting. In other words, it was kinda disappointing but the story still makes up for it. Overall, this series still a must watch and the episode was pretty neat.

Conclusion: Nice ghost ship adventure and I can't wait for the finale.

Perfect timing! When I recently finished the main series, the OVA came out.

So, the OVA follows the aftermath what the main series left off. Kenichi, his gang, his masters, and the Shinpaku Alliance resume their daily peaceful lives during the episode. But, a new threat apparently showed after Ragnarok's defeat. I don't know why, but this OVA doesn't really look like an "OVA" and it looks like it's part of the main story arc. But, I haven't read the manga so I can't really tell. Besides those things, we of course, get the nice sweet action scenes which is the series is known for along with the comedy. This OVA episode stayed with its main formula which is great compare to other usual OVAs that go out of place.

The graphics were nicely updated and the characters, well, they were awesome like usual. Anyway, the creators did a really nice job making the OVA and once again, it looks like that it's part of the main anime series. One of the best parts in the beginning I liked is Kenichi doing his "unique" training and that just never gets old for some reason. I just hope the next OVA will be great like this one. Overall, this OVA is just sweet and a bit of a nice refresher for the watchers or fans.

Conclusion: Awesome OVA and it wasn't out of place at all. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

Okay, this anime shorts series is kinda interesting. It's actually way better than that Nyanpire the Animation and some other anime shorts I had seen so far. So the series follows a girl named Yuuri Mito with her gang doing their adventures. But well, this episode is just about a "mysterious cat". Besides that, I find the graphics pretty neat even though it's chibi-ish style and the characters look all right. I can't really think of any complaints or something that's bugging me since this first episode came out. Basically, there's not much to say. In conclusion, this three minute episode is not bad and is decently enjoyable.

Conclusion: Decently enjoyable three minute anime short episode.

...For a minute there, I was just completely shocked (with my jaw dropping) in the beginning of the finale. First off, I am very satisfied of the series and I'm very glad that I follow it until the end. In the beginning, the story was all dark "psychological" problems but it finally made sense why the creators did that in the first place near the middle. So, it doesn't bother me anymore since that and it completely fits with this series.

Now, the finale was ended great. The creators were able to take away OP time and packed a lot of details or more story into the episode. The characters were great in the finale and their roles were played well. Also, Black Rock Shooter and the fighters got into surprising conflicts between each other with their other selves together. For for the fans or watchers waiting for a lot of action, this episode is just packed and with a lot of story involved. The creators did a fantastic job, surprisingly. Other than that, I have not much to say except you should definitely watch this! Overall, the finale is nicely made (of course it's way better than the OVA).

Conclusion: Awesome finale and is action packed with a lot of details. Note that there's something after the credits too.

Medusa's Revenge is another anime short clip episode exclusive for Nintendo Video or for Nintendo 3DS and is produced by Studio 4°C. They're the same studio that brought you an OVA, Halo: Legends - "The Babysitter" episode and some American cartoon shows by the way. Now, this short clip episode basically follows the past between how Palutena and Pit met with and how they battle Medusa in the beginning with only "one part". So, there's basically not much details through a 2 minute clip. I'm slightly disappointed but the neat positive thing is that the graphics/style is not recycled like Thanatos Rising. Also, I noticed that the short story is "dark" and is not really aimed for children unlike Thanatos Rising (once again). Overall, this short clip episode is not that bad and I'll be waiting for the next ones.

Conclusion: Slightly disappointed but it's way better than Thanatos Rising even though it's only a "one part clip episode".
