Summer season for the latest anime is almost over and this Fall season is coming up soon. Before it's really over, here are some of my favorite OP/opening songs for Summer 2012. Note that they're not in order.

Sword Art Online OP (Crossing Field)

Okay, for some reason, I'm just quite addicted to this OP and especially the full version. This band is also the same one that brought you some songs for Fate/Zero anime.



Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita OP (Real World)

Oh boy, the weird random dance-dance makes this OP stand out and I like it! The full version is also nice.




Campione! OP (Brave Blade)

Even if this song is somewhat cheesy, I still got addicted to it...



Oda Nobuna no Yabou OP (Link)

Another somewhat cheesy OP but it's better than most typical samurai theme anime OPs I had seen so far.



Kokoro Connect (Kokoro no Kara)

As for this OP, it's not bad and a bit touching.





So other than that, I might probably post up more favorite lists. Stay tune~

Wow, just wow... This episode is very dark and I'm kinda shocked. So our future protagonist (Monkey)'s small army faces head on with the enemy to try to delay them until Oda's main forces fall back. But fortunately, a lot of action is involved and including more conflicts showing up.

Besides mentioning the action, I notice and just like how the creators got the conflicts complicated every time the next episode shows up. Unlike Battle Girls: Time Paradox (which is a bit similar to this anime), they're continuing the story serious at the right moments instead of goofing off in serious situations. So pretty much, I don't have much to say. In conclusion, nice action and war conflicts are getting better.

Conclusion: Cool action and the war conflicts are getting exciting.

Oh my, this is definitely important for a side story which I had been waiting for! So we have Kirito and Asuna have a nice time out inside the house and have a play-like date in certain places. Also, there is a mysterious little girl named Yui introduced that I was waiting for to show up.

Due to me ahead in the story, she is an important character (especially on other ALO and this gun online game later in the future) and I of course know who she is. Anyway, if you read the novel, do NOT identify/spoil who she is.

Besides that, I overall enjoyed this side story episode. It just builds up the relationship between Kirito and Asuna which is pretty much known as "romantic". I just don't have anything negative about this episode compare to the previous side story episodes. So there's just about 5 side story episodes of them and now counting to 6. Overall, this episode is quite enjoyable and romantic.

Conclusion: Enjoyable romantic episode and can't wait for the next one.

Hello everyone, it has been quite a while since my last episodic post. But fortunately, I still kept watching the anime on my watch list.

Before getting fully started - I heard the main protagonist's voice and it sounded quite similar to Kirito. I then did some research and surprisingly, it's exactly the same actor that played both voices. It's quite an interesting fact indeed. Anyway, back on topic.

So during the series, I wondered when the fourth candidate will show up and then she got introduced in this series. In a way, it was just somewhat late (especially on episode 11 where most anime probably got their main characters introduced) - but the conflict did make sense and randomly filled in a gap somehow? I just wasn't that impressed on how the creators did it though.

So other than that, I don't have much opinions so far but the story is decent for an echii anime. In conclusion, decent-ish and a candidate showed up real late.

Conclusion: Decent story so far but I find the candidate showing up very late.
