I just saw the RAW and I HATE THIS EPISODE! Come on we all know this is Fanservice. Seeing Aisaka's body did not really interest me.


I DID not like Ami being slutty and Aisaka DID JACK SHIT! WHERE IS THE PUNCH or SLAP! Come Aisaka you are a TIGER SO EAT UP AMI!


INKO NOOOOOOOOOOOO! DON'T DIE YET! Damn the parrot almost died in this one. HOPE HE WILL BE OK.


I found the teacher WEIRD. Why would she blush suddenly when announcing pool time and then suddenly get MAD cause things are being talked about that she does not like. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, strange.

AT LEAST the beginning was GOOD with Aisaka throwing her backpack at AMI!

MINORI picking AISAKA up was KAWAII! AMI JUST MADE IT LOOK BAD!


IT WAS FUNNY to see AISAKA touching Ryuuji's mom breasts..........SERIOUSLY A REALITY CHECK----------->GIRLS STOP THE BIG BREAST CRAP! A women IS BETTER WITH A GOOD HEART AND PERSONALITY. SERIOUSLY AND AISAKA HAS THAT!

THE WHOLE bikini store scene was LOL cause AMI was a stupid slut! SHE REALLY PISSED ME OFF THIS EPISODE.


Aisaka! YOU BETTER THAN YOUR BREASTS! You got a body that AMI NEVER WILL! So BE PROUD AND STAND UP! STAND UP!


IT WAS NICE OF RYUUJI to make breast cups FOR AISKA. At least it helkps being less shy since the SITUATION LOOKED DESPERATE. SERIOUSLY I WILL SAY IT AGAIN...............I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE BREASTS OF AMI!

THE PART AT THE POOL PISSED OFF SO MUCH AS WANTING TO THROW SOMETHING AT AMI!

Seriously pissed me off I AM STILL RAGING! HOW DARE SHE THROW AISAKA IN THE POOL WHEN SHE CANNOT SWIM! I DON'T CARE ABOUT AIM NOT KNOWING THAT WAS JUST PLAIN STUPID! SELFISH AMI SLUT! SHE GOT -100 POINTS ON THIS ONE!


AT THIS RATE IT'S GOING TO TAKE AMI A MIRACLE TO MAKE GIVE HER ++++POINTS!

AISAKA WHY DID NOT PUNCH/KICK/ABUSE BADLY AMI??????????? OMG WHY!

RYUUJI HAD TO TOUCH THE CHEST OF TAIGA................WELL NO ONE NOTICED THE FAKE CUPS AT LEAST. NICE MOVE THOUGH THIS WHOLE THING SAVING WAS GOOD! It might raise Ryuuji's chance of RYUUJI x AISAKA!

ONCE AGAIN THANK RYUUJI FOR SAVING AISAKA! NOW PLEASE PUNCH OR SCREW AMI UP!

I LOVE AISAKA'S NEW HAIR! She looks like a mouse YES! SO WHAT! IT SUITS AND I THINK SHE IS MORE LIKE SAILOR MOON MINI VERSION.

MINORI WAS GOOD AT THE ED! A TRUCE THROUGH COMPETITION?????? COME ON! AMI SHOULD GET HER ASS KICKED!

HIGHLIGHTS!

AMI BEING SLUTTY IN THE BEGINNING DID NOT HELP. I THOUGH TAIGA WOULD PUNCH HER!



INKO DO NOT DIE!




The beginning was LOL with Taiga being hit with a broom cause Ryuuji is LATE FOR CLASS!


NICE AISAKA KICK!


HITTING AMI WITH THE BAG WAS A GOOD START AISAKA!


KUSHIEDA PICKING UP AISAKA WAS KAWAII!+CUTE POSE OF AISAKA!


THE TEACHER IS WEIRD! BLUSH THEN ANGER????



AISAKA IS SOOOOOOOOO FUNNY IN THE BIKINI STORE!


BIKINI FANSERVICE!



EVEN KUSHIEDA HA ISSUES WITH THE BIKINI STORE!


AMI BEING A SLUT IN THE BIKINI!



RYUUJI AND AISAKA HAVE PROBLEMS.............REALITY CHECK--------->SOMEONE WOULD CALL THE COPS CAUSE YOU CAN'T GO IN GIRL'S CHANGING ROOM! Unless you are SUKEBE!


LIKE A LOT RYUUJI'S MOM!+LOVE THE PART OF BREAST TOUCHING CAUSE TAIGA HAS A COMPLEX INDUCED BY AMI!


LOL AT TAIGA EATING SOMETHING THAT MAKES BREASTS GROW!


TAIGA IS HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT IN A SWIMSUIT+VERY NICE ASS!



DO NOT CRY AISAKA! RYUUJI WILL MAKE YOU NICE CUPS!


KILL THE GUY AND INSULT HIS FAMILY WHO TOOK THAT PICTURE!+KITAMURA WITH NICE GIRLS!


MORE AMI BEING SLUTTY IN A BIKINI+AMI THINKS SHE IS QUEEN OF SLUTS!

NICE UNDERWATER SCENE!


AISAKA DROWNS! STUPID AMI SHIT!


ANOTHER MOE MOMENT OF AISAKA!



KUSHIEDA TO THE RESCUE BUT STUPID PLAN I FIND!

Anime Relations: Kurozuka

EPISODE 1

I LOVE THIS! This is like Blade of the Immortal but way better cause there are demons and A BISHOUJO Woman! It gets pretty quickly serious and down to the point! From there on there is a enemy to kill. There is a whole mystery about it and more than enough serious romance/blood to make many fans of immortal blade like this.

I love the fights and dark atmosphere is a plus.

HIGHLIGHTS

It all starts here with these guys, who are possessed.



Beautiful woman and some love development



COOL ART FORMS.



The violence is quite something.




WTF AND WTH IS ALL THIS????????




EPISODE 2

Wow this episode really made me O_O......let's see NOW......BLOOD/MORE NUDITY/BETRAYALS/EROTICISM. What more can make ONE GO O_O

This episode was a bit heavy for me cause the blood splatter was WAY MORE THAN THE 1 EPISODE.......is the manga worse......I mean bloodier and explicit???

I was surprised that Kuro had to also eat part of Kuromitsu apart from the blood sucking.

That guy with the GOLDEN MASK...MAN WAS HE A UGLY PIECE OF SHIT! BTW should he become immortal idiot should know that his appearance will not change anyways. So BACA HITO! Glad he is dead BTW.

HIGHLIGHTS:

The move the guy used in the beginning is PRETTY NASTY (Spitting in ones' eye blood)! WTF is up with Kuros' head????


The mask part is one of my favorites in this episode+The UGLY GUY!


Bloody and Erotic part from this episode for you TO JUDGE!




EPISODE 3

Oh wow! The guy is completely somewhere in the future! Yeah big time jump! BEFORE I CONTINUE I WANT TO SAY that the I had to take a break just from seeing that scene with the soldiers coming AND KILLING THAT POOR WOMAN WITH HER BABY! THAT SICK! SICK! SICK! How the hell can they do this??? WHO THE HELL are these Soldiers???

WHO THE F*** is that big mutant Zombie charmed monster???????

Kuro gets into 1000 years in the future! The city is A MESS! Prostitutes....drug users.....people starving or having no home........reminded me a little of Casshern Sins for a moment or even Jinroh!

I WAS HAPPY that Kuro KILLED THOSE SOB SOLDIERS! That fight was amazing MINUS THE COLORING........it was nice art but MAN IT WAS A LITTLE HARD on the eyes for the details to be grasped of the battle! WOW GREAT BLOOD SPLATTER! CRAZY SHIT!

So apparently Kuromitsu goes with him into this new world but gets shot again but those same soldiers bearing that black mark at the end of #2. Most likely she was taken to study her immortality again.

So the world.......got almost destroyed but a meteor......then nuclear war and up to where Kuro is..........hmmmmmmmm ok...I see, well pretty sad but can't be helped!

HIGHLIGHTS

THIS IS THE FIRST THING THAT MADE ME SICK! Women with baby and then SOB soldiers shoot her and the baby.....cause you can't hear it cry (hint, hint)! SICK!


HOW DARE THEY SHOOT PEOPLE JUST LIKE THAT!+I found it at least cool the IR targeting system......WELL DAH IT'S UNFAIR!


MEET THE NEW PEOPLE...I think one of the name of the guy is Kanaka.


Well Kuro is finally in the future where he is wondering WTF is this???+WTF is that monster mutant????


Oh great we know the earth has been almost crushed by a meteor and nuclear for the past 1000 years??? Great prospective really.


Apparently Kuro remembers Kurimitsu+ the problem is she gets shot dead BY THOSE SOB SOLDIERS!


Seriously who the hell they think these soldiers are doing this to humans???WTF


Good fight but BAD FOR EYES!+Does Kuro have to drink blood ALL THE TIME NOW??


EPISODE 4

SUBS are out! Oh man this is getting really crazy! Anyone can say about the manga? If it is deviating too much or is still good on par with the manga?

I love the part of the WW2 and the guy that has arm for a machine gun! Not only that, I FIND IT REALLY COOL the slow motion........MADE ME THINK OF THE MATRIX! Seriously Kuro is amazingly skilled since this is the first time I see him use this slow motion skill.

So at first we are shifted into WW2, which suggests MOST EVERYONE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT #3 are answered in this pertaining to WHY KUROMITSU GOT SHOT AND FELL ON A ROCK that is after they escaped WW2 and got into the frame of the nuclear winter. We also see guys in suits taking her that are apparently part of the good guys. Still does not explain why they took her.

We meet a few people but mainly it is about Kuro being recruited in order to help these guys although I do not understand why so since the same guy happened to have taken Kuromitsu along with other guys in suits since Kuro remembers him.

Rei is HOT as usual........I would think after Kuromitsu she the next hot girl in this series.

Seems the people who want him to work with them, are aware of his vampire characteristics and of his strength. They are called Haniwa. Izana seems to be the leader but what is the Miitsu refers to???

HIGHLIGHTS

This part made me think of the matrix+I love the leg grabbing move the enemy did on Kuro.....it was nicely done!


THE GUY'S GUN IS PRETTY NASTY especially since it is lodged instead of where his arm goes+LOVE THE WHOLE BATTLE SCENE ESPECIALLY THE SLOW MOTION.



WTH are those electronic things on Kuro?+Kuromitsu and Kuro are done nicely and romantically.


I still THINK THAT REI IS SECOND BEST AFTER KUROMITSU!


BEING A WW2 FAN! I LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE B-29 IN THIS SERIES! Not often I see such!



A GOOD PROOF he is in 20th/21st century!+new character.......Kuon


Another new character Izana+Anyone knows WTH is that machine???



EPISODE 5

SUBS are out! Story is getting along. Good action! So far so good for me! This episode was wack!

The beginning made me think.......ok , human experimenting, right I get it. The red liquid seemed suspicious as immortality research. What I did not like is seeing bony humans and seeing being wasted like they were bodies to be used and nothing more, This is low! That guys should be killed by Kuro!

Seems we meet two other members that are fearful apart from the one we meet in #3 that was leading the troops.

I really liked the scenes of love between Kuro and Kuromistu, ESPECIALLY in the white flower fields symbolizing innocence in love. Although artistic Kuro has a curse of blood feeding so I feel bad unless Kuromitsu can feed him and he does the same to her.
Mutual survival would be beneficial for them to love forever.

Too his reunions with Kuromitsu are only dream states.

Pretty interesting people Kuro meets including one that would look to be some wise woman.

That room where he hallucinates is interesting in that the clocks and their movement would trigger it somehow into him. I wonder if he sensible to sound like a bat?

The three clock are interesting it makes of think of 13 Ghosts (American movie).

IT SUCKS! The base where everyone is gets smacked hard by the Red Army! Damn! More people dead! Damn that sucks!

Hope Kuro can really be again with Kuromitsu!

HIGHLIGHTS!

Like the tower in the beginning NICE DESIGN!+Some new enemy?


Humans being starved/used and discarded after like cattle IS NOT something I enjoyed.



Two new enemies that are with that General of the Red Army you see in #3.


I liked a lot these two parts with Kuro and Kuromitsu.


OH MAN they have not done this scene since the first episode! This is one is even better due to the effects of the light from the Holy windows.+The three clocks are interesting.


Another nice scene of Kuromitsu!


The base is in crap with all these guys suddenly coming......hmmmmmmmmm..........I wonder how Kuro is going to deal with this in #6. LET'S SEE!



EPISODE 6

RAW is out! OH YES! Action+blood=very good fight! Yes! The story is good and progressing although I don't know if it follows the manga still. OMG the fighting is amazing in this episode! Every single second of it!

The first half was a lot WTF cause many people die but what screwed me over is when the Red General himself grabbed this guy and girl from Haniwa. Man that was sick! First he plays with them and then he orders his stupid soldiers! What a sick fuck this Red General is!

Continuing the battle.............it was freaking amazing! The action was good and the part with Rei was also good!

THE SECOND PART is where it really shined! Kuro going against the Red General WAS EPIC! Kuro dodging the Red General's tentacle wire attacks and slashing IS NICE!

The Red General's true form is SICK! Some freaking robot deformed mutant! Sick form! GOOD THING HIS HEAD IS CHOPPED OFF!

Izana...................NO! He dies cause Kuromitsu's blood did not stabilize itself within his body and got into uncontrolled mutation that ripped his body apart just like the humans that were unfitted in #5. R.I.P. CAUSE I LIKED HIS CHARACTER!

ONCE AGAIN EPIC FIGHTING!

HIGHLIGHTS

The opening of this episode is AWESOME! Kuro does a nice fight!




NICE SHOT OF KUON!


Mass KILLINGS+MORE KILLING!


I HATED THIS PART! TOO MUCH KILLING OF THE GOOD GUYS!




The monster killing the people WAS WACK! DAMN DRIPPING BLOOD!


REI NICE POSE+RED GENERAL FACE CLOSE UP!


IZANA NO! IZANA WHY YOU HAD TO DIE! R.I.P.
Crazy face Izana+Bloody face Izana

Izana killing a soldier+after effect of blood splater of his face!

MIISU MACHINE OPENING!+MASS MUTATED DEFORMATION

REST IN PEACE FRIEND.............AT LEAST NO MORE OF THIS SHITTY WORLD!


KURO IS EPIC AGAINST THE RED GENERAL!



THE FIGHT IS EPIC MORE THAN ANY OTHER SO FAR in the second half!



THE RED GENERALS IS SUPER STRONG!


TRUE NATURE OF THE RED GENERAL.............WHAT A UGLY PIECE OF SHIT!


LOVE THAT FINAL POSE OF KURO BEFORE HE KILLS RED GENERAL+OH YES! I LOVE SEEING THE RED GENERAL'S HEAD CHOP OFF!



SEE YOU IN SUBS!

Anime Relations: Kyou no 5 no 2 (TV)

EPISODE 1

Finally saw the RAW. Oh wow the ycensor it! The bouncing ball scene was not like that at all! Then again I don't blame them cause these are grade school kids and we all know about Kodomo no Jikan just that this one they are a little older.

I LOVE THE SCENE OF THE GUITAR! It reminded how it was in primary back in my old days . I used to do that too, ACTUALLY I like Megadeath and Gun's n Roses! BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. Good thing it's not ecchi like the OVAs but IT'S CLOSE! There are iffy scenes but THAT'S IF YOU USE YOUR IMAGINATION.

Finally the scene with the umbrella makes me think....THIS IS GUY IS GIGGOLO NAD IS GOING TO BECOME THE NEXT MAKOTO ITOUE from school days. I swear, but then again most likely not since he might have a better life but SERIOUSLY HE looks like a PLAYBOY guy when he is serious.

HIGHLIGHTS
Aihara...NERVOUS....VAMPIRE....ECCHI, I should mention really ecchi with imagination...NEKO!



SUPER BALL COMPETITION CENSORED!



I KNOW IT HURTS BUT BE A MAN RYOUTA! TAKE IT! DAMN IT!


GUITARS AND CONCERT! YEAH RIGHT!

Chika is awesome with the fake guitar though


GIGGOLO!


EPISODE 2

After seeing some more times I can say although it looks like the OVAs, it is not! I seen some touch ups that are indeed funnier than the ones in the OVAs.

The first period I love ear nibbling of Natsuki, so funny but she is sensitive after all. LOL at the scratches on Ryota.

Second period was sooooooooo funny in the gym locker and the teacher at end.....oh man in primary school that would be bad FOR ME!

The third period there is ecchi body sensation try out but the best is at the end poor Ryota!

Fourth period made me so much LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL HAHAHHAAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! This much cause of just the pudding scene and the THE MUSIC! IT'S THE MUSIC!

I AM VERY SATISFIED OF THIS EPISODE. MADE MY LOL but my stomach hurt cause it was is much. :P

HIGHLIGHTS

The ear nibbling, the nose picking and the cat scratch are all stupid things I remember from primary school.



The everyone believes it was a blowjob and THE DEMON TEACHER ARE LOL! Kid and ridiculous things.


Never peek at girls even by accident cause you get a bad face FOR A WHILE.


The bloomer mystery was stupid but THE PUDDING WAS LOL SO MUCH!


EPISODE 3

RAW is out! So what did all think of the changes made this time. Pudding was good in #2 so in this one the collar bones setup changes. Other than that, the whole library scene was hilarious just cause the way they changed the setup with the faces and art form. I liked a lot the whole skirt thing leave it there and see how guys react to it.

That part there was also some changes that a I liked and that once again is the faces and art form. It was really nice touch up.

Next week apparently will be the LAST OF THE OVAS THINGS THEY CAN USE. Since OVA=4 and each episode is 4 segments so 4 times 4 = 16. So after next week ALL NEW STUFF MOST LIKELY. Can't wait!

HIGHLIGHTS:

Ryouta is soooooo LOL when he tries to think of something other than the whole breast perversion.


Aihara being serious+Ryuouta looking in a pervert way at Natsumi (love the way they did cause is not too ecchi but you get the point.


Some serious air in the library part!



More problems during the whole Skirt survey+More serious Natsumi and Chika!


You get what you get for skirt peeping!+Tsubasa and Chika serious!


LOL at Ryota for wearing a girl's skirt! RYOTA cross dresser!


EPISODE 4

Cool new designs! I liked the first segment changes they made at the pool part of lookinf in a perverted at a girl's swimsuit although it was to see if she had hole.......WHO DOES THAT???? Only a pervert!

The second part was LOL but also it made me think ecchi things. I mean come on Milk and they Megumi look like she well you know in 18 over stuff+ the food on Yuki makes it look really something else. At least it still get the job done!

The third part was only good at the end but damn is the girl crazy the beats up Ryota!

The last part REALLY MADE LOL! Especially when they were about to kiss and then people come into class! After that it was major LOL! Man does it got to hurt for something like this to happen!

HIGHLIGHTS!

This part of Natsumi I like+Ryota's face is always LOL


Chika is done well in this one+the part where Ryota's friends criticize his fight with Natsumi.


Ryota's face and Natsumi's CRACKED ME UP IN THIS ONE!


I LOVE THIS POSE OF CHIKA AND RYOTA! At first being depressed by being overseen by Chika+BUT THEN Chika and Ryota acting like MAFIA COUPLE???


Ryota's face in this one REMINDS OF FREDDY KRUGER!+Natsumi is KAWAIII!


Like this group setup+This pic of food on Natsumi made me think of bad things!


This face of Natsmi and Megumi is LOL+A conference against Ryota???


I LOVE THE SERIOUS FACE DISCUSSION+Ryota thinking of going Stardom?


Natsumi is pretty scary when she beats you up!


That KISS WAS CLOSE!+RYOTA'S FACE AFTER THAT!



EPISODE 5

RAW is out.Finally something new! Although not much! I enjoyed pretty much a lot. From the whole funny faces.......OH MAN THAT MADE ME LOL! I always a sucker for funny faces AND LOSE at that game they were playing so instead I look at other people playing.

The whole tickling games was soooooooo LOL! On the other hand IT makes you have ecchi ideas too. They might not show it BUT PSYCHOLOGICALLY the effect is there. Trust I am no pervert and the thoughts just came anyways. I don't care about them but they came.

The sleeping was also LOL to me. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR ALL: How The Hell does Ryota put those people to sleep since we don't see what he is doing to them????

The whole swimsuit thing in 19 was BORING! I ONLY LOL cause it was SILLY. The other part 19.5 I can relate cause we did stupid THINGS LIKE THAT IN GRADE SCHOOL. It was really funny when Ryota realized his friend got the better of him only to realize the third participant got both of them! XD

HIGHLIGHTS

AH MAN TH FACES AT THE BEGINNING MADE LOL! SO MUCH!



I REALLY ENJOYED the beauty and innocence of the flashback of Aihara and Chika when they were younger. REALLY CUTE!


AGAIN MUCH LOL AT THE FACES OF RYOTA!+HAD NO EFFECT ON Aihara.



Chika going for the tickling+Going even more crazier when Aihara dodged her! Aihara does have the Neko speedo.


This made me think something ecchi BUT the other literally made me think of hentai. The white stuff really made me not think right. I know it is probably saliva but it does one hell of a 360 degree ON THE MIND.


At first it was one person that somehow Ryota bagged and put to sleep+Megumi and Yuko cannot believe what they see!



BUT UP TO 3 PEOPLE GOT BAGGED AND PUT TO SLEEP!? O_O Ryota should be in the ARMY! They would LOVE HIM!



THIS PART WAS LOL and best fanservice so far is in #19.


THE WHOLE GUYS UNDERWEAR WAR MADE ME LOL SO MUCH! It reminded of days in grade school when I was there.




LOVE THE GROUP POSE!


SEE NEXT EPISODE! New Stuff!



EPISODE 6

Cool! At least some new stuff! The first part was LOL! Ryouta is one hell of sleeping bear! Even biting him on the ear does almost nothing! This guy is easy prey since he cannot wake up so easy. I also remember that ecology stuff in primary school

The second part was like YAY MUD! I DID NOT LIKE PLAYING IN MUD. Reminded me of being covered in shit! Sorry BUT NO! Megumi was LOL when she was covered in mud and took off her glasses.

The third part Jan/Ken/Pon............YEAH RYOUTA sucks! He lost like 8 times! Ryouta saite baca! Should have not lifted Chika's skirt RYOUTA BACA!

Fourth part was LOL! Stupid Ryouta believed Kawai about the kimono! Really Ryouta! MAN that was close with Chika and Ryouta..............kids being slow...........MA they are still young! I liked THE GIRLS IN KIMONO! Made it better than us seeing them in their usual school clothes or casual clothes.

HIGHLIGHTS

Natsumi looks good with that dress+Messing up Aihara's hair was also LOL!


I like that face of Natsumi+Natsumi blowing on Ryouta's ear!


Aihara biting like a vampire?+Ryouta wakes and is like WTF?


Ryouta is still WTF+Ryouta has become and swinging rope S&M guy!



Ryouta gets a ball in the face!+NICE GROUP picture under the rain!


MUD FACE+MUD ALL OVER!





WHY the fuck has Aihara a book?+LOL at Megumi!


THE FIGHT OF JAN/KEN/PON IS ON!



THE FIGHT CONTINUES!



In the end Ryouta loses like 8 times!+ Ryouta cannot do the pusnishment anymore!


THE FIGHT IS STILL ON BUT WAIT! Chika! Lifting her skirt...............equals to BIG CHIKA MEDUSA PUNCHING RYOUTA.



LOVE THE GROUP PIC OF KIMONOS! MY FAVORITE IS CHIKA WITH STRAWBERRIES AND CHERRIES!+Ryouta gets hit with arrows of thoughts!


Kawai smiling! Nice pose of him!+Chika blushing cause Ryouta is holding her hand!


Then again Chika could not hold her pride to Ryouta too long with long disappointment+NICE FESTIVAL! Everyone seems to be having fun!+EPIC NICE ENDING!



NEXT WEEK MEET THE SUPER SOAKERS RANGERS!

Anime Relations: Ga-Rei: Zero

EPISODE 1

OH MAN NOW I AM LIKE O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O

WTF and WTH? Natsuki and everyone IS DEAD AT THE END??? Class A........don't tell me they are like CLASS S MONSTERS??? That guy in the background is NASTY! So this like 2001 with DEMONIC apparition classified as A/B/C. C being the weakest!

I GOT MY MIND FUCKED! Literally I GOT ELFEN LIED VIBES! Made me want to DO SOMETHING but could not so also got VIBES OF SAIKANO. Euh, I am bad at handling this DEMO MAKENAI!!!

So based on the story, Kanze Touru that I have no clue to this named loses his mother or sister to a piece of shit monster of class A or higher. There is a squad similar to XAT squad from the anime Blassreiter. They have these special goggles that let's them see the monster and so other people cannot see them kind like the Aliens in the beginning of the anime Gantz.

The squad also happens to have bullets that are blessed with holy scriptures from Shintoism probably or Buddhism.

OH MAN! THIS IS full of BLOOD/GORE/Who knows how much nudity. Did I mention violence and dismembering???

HIGHLIGHTS.........

CLASS A/B/C MONSTERS




OUR HEROES! Kanze and Natsuki




THE STUPID BLACK CENSORING THEY USE JUST LIKE IN ELFEN LIED TV.
SERIOUSLY WTF????


EPISODE 2

I AM SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF! SO MUCH! First of all WTF is up with that girl Yomi who is sister with Kagura apparently. Opens her dress up at the end and we don't know if she kills her or not.

I FIND IT RETARDED that Kagura's sister does not get killed by the gas explosion but NOT ONLY THAT She kills Kagura's friend with the light tube foxes.

I DO LOVE the new team we are introduced!

LOVE THE HUGE SHOTGUNS that the blacks carry! LOVE the drills on the old man!

I HATE THAT PIECE OF SHIT MONSTER Ga-Rei that is with Yomi. That so UNFAIR to not only be Class A but also to have a guardian! THIS IS BAD!

Funny thing is that they show us the members of episode 1 but we don't know if it is after their death or when they get assigned???

THE BLOOD AND ACTION ARE OK! The black censoring is just a little.

The guy with the suitcase IS COOL! Machine gun madness!

Kagura is also pretty cool with THE KATANA! I LIKE ESPECIALLY THE CASE FOR HER SWORD.

HIGHLIGHTS!

New Characters! I particularly like the SWORD POSE OF KAGURA! The ferret guy is in right picture.



New weapons! I HATE YOMI cause she got a bad ass monster that I HATE ALSO! What's up with the profiles??? These guys are dead and now I find that sad. Natsuki WAS HOT!



Nice move (takes sword of Yomi into her casing) by Kagura when fighting her sister+WHY THE FUCK DID YOU NOT KILL HER???? Please LORD WHY? She killed so many, she class A. Wakaranai.


Why the hell is Yomi not DEAD AFTER THE EXPLOSION???? WHY THE F*** IS KAGURA CAPTURED BY HER SISTER?????????


EPISODE 3

RAW IS OUT! Oh man! I don't believe WTF is going on! Yomi and Kagura were soo good as sisters....I do not understand why SHE WOULD KILL HER AND HATE HER. This episode only tells about the past of what happened.

Sp we know that Kagura lost her family and that Yomi did everything to help her be confortable. In the end they bonded as a family. SO WHY YOMI! WHY! DOSHITE! ANSWERS! WERE ARE THEY? We don't even know if she really kills Kagura. THey do not show it.

I liked that battle when Yomi kills the monster but I HATE HER so I cannot say I liked seeing her with team. WHAT THE FUCK I am even more pissed at is that she liked the whole team! THE WHOLE TEAM she WAS SMILING WITH THEM. WAKARANIE!

I HAVE REALIZED SOME ELEMENT OF THIS SHOW THAT BRAINWASHES........If you had to kill someone you love would be able to kill them. The last phrases of each episode IS 100% ELEMENT RELATED. I though it did not have much meaning but seems to be a focus after being present in the episodes so far.

The bath scene was interesting. Not really much ecchi but just right I SAY.

Yomi's fiancee kisses her hand and there is love with them.......WTF happened to YOMI??

Based on INTEL....we know of the family of our Class A butterfly asshole!

See you again in subs!

HIGHLIGHTS

Kagura's mom+LOVE THAT FIGHT SCENE!


Here is how I get it with pics:
FIRST Yomi introduces into a dorm+eats with Kagura and drinks tea.


SECOND teaches her how to fight+plays with her video games


THIRD hugs Kagura when she is crying+Introduces Kagura to the whole team.


FOURTH takes a bath with her+sleeps with her


EPISODE 4

Tentacle rape???????? WTF? Yuri and ecchi?????? Damn O_O

ON TOP OF THAT THE CENSORING IS STUPID THIS TIME!

ON THE OTHER I CANNOT STOP MYSELF FROM WATCHING THE OP! IT IS AMAZING! AMAZING! THE ED IS MEH! BUT THE OP! SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!

I STILL HATE YOMI AND I DON'T THINK I WILL LIKE HER. Despite some fanservice I AM STICKING WITH KAGURA ALL THE WAY!

Kagura's father Biakyou Ga-Rei is far superior from the looks of it to Nue so I do think Kagura is going to get Yomi in the end.

The monster in this one is a nasty spider! Hmmmm, ok interesting as to how it was shown.

It was good to see ALL ALIVE BEFORE THEIR DEATHS! It really sucks that they show how they die cause now you wonder AFTER ALL THEIR GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS they are still death despite such experiences.

THERE IS YURI/TENTACLE ABUSE/BATH NUDE SCENES........WOW no one knew it would go that way!

Michael sensei was LOL..especially the first reaction Kagura had to him since she did not know about the fact that her sword MICHAEL 12 comes from him.

I STILL THINK YOMI IS BRAINWASHED OR CONTROLLED! I NOTICED SOMETHING........THE BUTTERFLY! Anyone notice it always appears when Yomi appears as if the kid controls her somehow! JUST LIKE HE CONTROLLED KANZE DURING THE TIME OF HIS FLASHBACK!

The introduction of the different weapons was LOL. I really LOL furing that time cause the yall liked like a amateur produced them! LOL!

THE BATTLE IN THE SUBWAY TUNNEL IS AMAZING! ESPECIALLY KAGURA SHOWING THE TECHNIQUE THAT ALLOWS HER TO EJECT THE BLADE AND MAKE IT 3 TIMES SHARPER AND FASTER.

I DID NOT APPRECIATE FATHER SCOLDING KAGURA! I mean seh might deserve it but SHE ALSO has her own issues to deal with from the looks of it. Scolding will solve AT NOTHING to surpass this.

THIS BEING SAIS I SHALL COME BACK WHEN SUBS ARE OUT BUT ON A NOTE AWESOME, AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE FOR OP FOR THIS ANIME! The ED was less nice for me!

HIGHLIGHTS!

The first COME TO MIND IS THE CHANGE! YURI+NAKED BATH SCENES+TENTACLES.......WHAT ARE THEY THINKING. I know For Mature only thing!


BTW VERY LAME AND STUPID CENSORING IN THIS CASE....I CAN STILL SEE VERY WELL!+Tentacle rape...will it bump to 18?



SPIDER MONSTER Ga-Rei+A COOL KAGURA SLASH!


I wonder who is that girl? Is she only a human that can see more than meets the eye?+MICHAEL SENSEI IS LOL! MUST BE HIS FASHION!


I find this picture captures Yomi and HER FIANCEE VERY WELL+Kagura's HUGE SLASH THAT SLASHES GROUPS OF THESE MONSTERS! VERY COOL!


The Ga-Rei Iron/Chainsaw/Jack hammer/Steam Pressure compartment ARE ALL LOL AND RIDICULOUS! THOSE THINGS END NOT WORKING!



I LOVE THIS PART WHEN THE BLADE gets ejected from the casing and them bounded BY A CHAIN acts I LIKE SCYTHE/BOOMERANG THAT HACKS AND SLASHES!


BIAKYOU WITH KAGURA'S FATHER! I REALLY LIKED THE ART OF THIS ONE!+Kagura being scolded is NOT COOL but she comited a mistake!


EPISODE 5

SUBS are out! YES! Story goes on about Yomi and Kagura! I CANNOT NOT GET ENOUGH OF THE OP! Always a win!

I LIKED THIS EPISODE! We get a new character who is a BISHOUJO ONNA! By the name of Mei. Apparently daughter of Kagura's father but She looks way stronger than she appears.

There seems to be a awareness that the Supernatural phenomenon is increasing rather more than before. That has been confirmed pretty much in #3 and #4 but in this ine the yshow more of the office and how they deal with it.

I LOVE THE WAY NABU NABU talk and act since it looks more like they a role! They are funny cause one says something than the other says something but with a meaning of also or again. The other just adds a something little but you can see the difference.

WTF is Yomi problem when Noriyuki complained of the perfume to a bad smell then throws him hot coffee? There was a really bad air when it started Nue VS the ferrets? Interesting but Noriyuki is her fiancee so NO!

I LOVED THE SETUP DATE! Man Kagura was pissed and somehow I seem to devaite a little from my hate for her BUT I STILL GET FLASHBACKS about of Kagura kills most of these guys in #1 and #2.

LOOKING FORWARD TO SUBS BUT ALSO WANT TO SEE MORE OF MEI! Screw Kagura and Yomi! MEI BEATS THEM BOTH IN BEAUTY AND UNIQUENESS! She is the only one I seen use a Spear weapon!

I still have a hard time seeing how Yomi kill Noriyuki! FOR GOD'S SAKE THEY KISSED! MUST BE BRAIN CONTROLLED. HOW ELSE WOULD IT BE IN LOGIC?

HIGHLIGHTS!

Seeing how Kagura and Yomi are...still hard to swallow the events of #2


FINALLY NABU TWINS HAVE GOOD ROLES AND ARE FUNNY!



I find it stupid to get angry over something enough to throw coffee at your fiancee!? O_O+Have a fight started. Noriyuki can win anytime!



I LOVE THE NEW CHARACTER MEI MOST RIGHT NOW!



I LOL HARD at teh whole love plan proposition of Yomi and Noriyuki+All think Yomi will eat them with Nue.



The whole fake date Kiri Nikaido and Noriyuki was nice BUT it ends up being A DRINK IN THE FACE!



Since Yomi got jealous.......more slapping starts!


Good thing Kagura somehow makes it resolve itself+Yomi looks nice with that Kimono.........OMG I cannot get that flashback OUT FROM EPISODE 1 AND 2! WTF and WTH made her such A DIFFERENT PERSON!


EPISODE 6

Raw just came out! The story is good so far and giving more background so we get it.The flashbacks are still bugging from #1 and #2.

Oh man this episode is way better than the fights in #4! Way better! It opens with Byakuei going and eating all these zombies! Really cool!

I find that Kagura's Michael 12 boost to go after teh category B on the rooftop was nice! It was freaky that at one point they had to fight som any copies! Good thing Mei came in time! Gave them suggestion and it was a win!

There seems to be some plot happening considering this episode Mr. Butterfly comes in! O_O I HATE HIM!

Misuzu sensei is pretty Kawaii! Another female character! Really nice BUT SHE DIES! DAMN YOU CATEGORY D. I admit that the cut Kagura has is pretty bad!

There was some pretty heavy explanation about what consequences the father of Kagura got himself into by bonding with Byakuei! To me it seems it might something of a life and death situation.

This show is pretty sick..........one time you are introduced to beautiful people that can have such great impact on the show then they kill them off like it was a animal that is useless in this series. I actually like Misuzu sensei and they kill her cause she possessed by category D!

It was freaky also to think that Kagura's friends might have died. THANK GOD she saved them but their minds are screwed! After what they say and that the person killed was their sensei who also helped them earlier on....................is dead in front of them.

THE END PISSED OFF! My claim character Mei MIGHT BE DEAD! DAMN YOU! The butterfly guy is pissing me off since he got Mei! How the hell did he survive that one hit and still regenerated. I though that Mei's spear is holy? Not only that that boy can engulf anyone with his butterflies and make them into nothing!

Pretty good but now I am stressing over is Mei going to make it and does she live or not????? I want Mei to kick this little kid's ass! Most likely not since he still lives in the first episode. DAMN IT!

HIGHLIGHTS!

The beginning of this episode is AMAZING just like #1! Seeing Byakuei eating all these category D is cool!+The new category B


The monster is officially a COPYCAT!



Nice pose of the president Jinguji Ayame+Another nice pose of Kagura's father with the dorm chairman.


Nice pose of Kagura having her face splashed with water+Misuzu sensei.......OMG why the stupid staff of this anime had to kill off so many nice people that are innocent in this war.


Mr. Butterfly and WTF is up with his other eye that is red????+Mei fighting against him!


Strike! HOW THE HELL DID NOT WORK! DAMN YOU BUTTERFLY KID!


MAJOR FANSERVICE with school swimsuits!


Misuzu sensei..........OMG WHY kill her and why make category D take her over! She was such a nice nurse! DAMN YOU AGAIN GAREI ZERO STAFF!


MEI PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD! This my favorite character in this series! DAMN YOU GaRei Zero staff! I will not forget this character so easily! I remember characters but this one is memorable! LOVE MEI AND INANNA!






SEE YOU SUBS!



You have no idea how much it hurts me about the whole Mei situation. I never knew they would kill her off. I HOPE NOT but that might not be the case.

Anime Relations: ef: A Tale of Melodies.

I COULD not fit this in one post so please feel free to read to get ALL YOU NEED ABOUT THE TAROT INFORMATION. A new meaning awaits you I PROMISE YOU!

TAROT CARDS+Explanation of their meanings UNDERSTAND THIS and YOU WILL ALL KNOW ABOUT YUKO!
FIRST: The Fool:Without the notion of Zero, our system of mathematics becomes meaningless. Similarly, the Fool is an essential part of the Tarot because he is the spark that sets everything else into motion, the divine breath that gives life and inspires the first step towards fulfillment and completion. Though the first step down a long path may often seem small in comparison to the journey, that first step is vital because without it there would be no journey at all! The Fool is the cause behind all effects, the power behind all manifestations and the seeds of the end sown in every beginning.

The Fool is unmoulded potential, pure and innocent, neither positive nor negative yet containing the possibility of both. He is the unconditioned soul about to come into manifestation for the first time to start learning the lessons of the world. Though everyone calls him a Fool, he does not pay them any attention, and he simply goes on his way. Certainly what they say can be justified, since his ignorance of the world can lead him to do things that more experienced people would never imagine. But in these things he can find knowledge and enlightenment. He does not care what others think or say about him, because he knows that what he is doing is right for him.

His approach to life is a strange, unconventional one, because he does what is comfortable to him. This is a viewpoint not often supported in our modern world, in which "do as I say" is the commandment most followed. To those who have lived their life under this philosophy, the approach of the Fool may be extravagant, shocking, even frightening. But this approach is all that the Fool knows, and because the only approval he requires is his own, he will continue to live this way, despite what all others think of him. He has total faith in himself. Perhaps he is not such a fool after all.

The Fool does not hide himself from the light, because he is the light - the wonderful light that shines out of every child before they see the world and are forced to build so many walls and barriers to protect themselves. The innocence of a child, sadly, is something rarely found outside of children, even though a lot of people could use it these days. With this innocence comes perfect trust, fearlessness in others, and total self-reliance. It allows you to see the world with new eyes and learn new things every day of your life. Think of how much better the world would be if everybody acted this way! It's a shame that only children, and the Fool, see this light.

The Fool almost always stands for new beginnings, new experiences and new choices; the first steps along a new path and the first words written onto a blank page. Like the Aces of the Minor Arcana, such beginnings are like the Fool himself - neither positive nor negative, but with the potential to turn into either, depending on the choices you make and the path you follow. But this must not be your concern, because when a journey begins no one can know (or should know) what will happen on the way to the destination. Never let another person control your life. Live in the present and trust in your own abilities - this is the way of the Fool.

Such journeys always imply a degree of risk, and hence the Fool is pictured walking toward the edge of a high cliff. With any new experience there is always the risk of failure and the certainty of change; it is the degree of change, and how that change will appear, that are undeterminable. But the Fool has no qualms about taking chances, so why should you? It is through the first steps that we learn how to walk, and it is through changes that we learn how to live our lives in harmony and peace. So jump head first into the abyss of the unknown, and know that even if you eventually fall to the ground, for a while you will soar.

The world:After every obstacle has been faced and surmounted, after every path has been travelled and charted, there remains only the last step to the next level of existence - the World, the final gateway. After the union of the conscious and unconscious, the mind and the body, in Judgement, all that can remain is union with the Divine in whatever form it appears to you. This journey is over and the next is only beginning. The cycle is complete as last, with the vindication of the traveler and the immortality he has gained through development of the self. It would seem that the Fool's Journey may not have been so foolish after all.

This card, as befits its nature, has the same basic symbolism in almost all of its myriad version. There are the four cherubs embodying their domains; The bull for matter, the lion for energy, the eagle for time and the man for space. Together they represent the unifed creation and control of all things in the Universe. Another common motif is the dancer in the centre, with her twin wands. The wand is that of the Magician, but it has now multiplied, and the need to ground its magical power has vanished because it has become one with its source of power. Positive and negative can be seen as two parts of the same whole. One is many. Many are one.

The World could be thought of as a time of rest, the time between death and life where the soul awaits reincarnation in the material world and - for the briefest of periods - becomes one with the universe from which it came. All the lessons learned have been put to use. All the tasks accomplished have born fruit and brought prosperity. Every cause has had its effects and all of the diverse threads of effects have been woven into a tapestry of your life as you have lived it. Now is a time to enjoy your wisdom, savour your prosperity and admire the personal artwork you have created, for soon you will start it all over again.

The journey may have stopped for the moment, and it may have transcended the plane on which you started, but the journey of the soul never ends. A new beginning is found in the end, the pieces are in place for a new journey to start, and after that one is completed, another will surely commence. After a glimpse of the Divine you return to manifestation, sure of your convictions and in your ability to someday see the face of God again. The cycle is as endless as the wreath that surrounds the scene, tied together by the ribbons of Divine force, and spiraling around the universe until the end of time.

The World card marks a time in your life in which one cycle is over and the next is just beginning. It represents the final achievement of all your worldly expectations and desires, and the immenent approach of new desires to follow and new goals to puruse. The World itself remains the ultimate goal, because it is an affirmation of life and an arrival at a perfect state of harmony and bliss. This is the confirmation of success and the reward for all your trials and ordeals. With the coming of the World comes assured success and material well-being, as well as emotional fulfillment, and growth in the spiritual sense.

In the material world, this card's energy often manifests as a promotion to a higher position or an initiation to a new level of knowledge that was only dreamed of before. But this time of rejoicing and happiness, this peak of ecstasy, merely gives us a glimpse of the next mountain on the horizon. So once again you must step up ot the cliff and leap off, ready to start a new Fool's journey and find what secrets lie in this new level of existence. The cycle of the Major Arcana begins where it ends and ends where it begins; start and finish are no longer the ends of straight line, but coincident points on the circumference of a circle that encapsulates your life. The present is now. The future is now. Eternity is now.


THE SUN:The Sun symbolizes many things depending on how you look at it. The ancients saw the sun as the giver of life and light, and almost every polytheistic faith has a Sun God. It brings light and clarity after a period of darkness and confusion, and in this sense the Sun God is often a redeemer as well; a bringer of peace and good times after ordeals. Finally, the Sun is a symbol of steadfastness and reliability, for no matter how bleak your situation may seem, no matter how many problems you have, the Sun will still rise in the morning. All of these attributions, and more, are reflected in the Tarot card that bears the same name as our solitary star.

The light of the Sun is about halfway between that embodied on the Tower and that shown on the Star. It is not a blinding flash of power but neither is it a subtle glow. It is hot enough to warm but generally not enough to burn. This moderation between extremes is the goal of the spiritual traveler, first shown on Temperance, now entered into full manifestation for us all to see. In this higher state, nothing is beyond your control. In the Rider-Waite deck a powerful symbol illustrates this. The sunfowers in the garden are not turned towards the Sun, as they normally are, but to the child on the horse. He is the one who now holds power over the material world.

The great ordeal of the Moon has passed, and you have emerged into the light, stronger and wiser. War has ended and made way for peace; hatred is replaced by love; fear is overcome by courage. This is truly a time to celebrate! Good triumphing so powerfully over evil is not an everyday occurence in this world, and when it does happen you should be glad that a little more light has entered your life. The rising of the Sun is akin to the completion of the tasks and trials of the night, and the warmth it provides is the reward for not cowering in fear at the darkness, not running away given the chance, and not trying to hide from the wisdom that is rightfully yours.

As a sign of reliability, there is nothing more powerful than the Sun, since no force on Earth (or anywhere else for that matter) can stop the Sun from rising in the morning. In a world of chaos, it is a still point of silence and calm, an assurance that there is some underlying order, some higher power that chooses to bless us and smile upon us each day. Even when clouds fill the sky the Sun is still there, waiting for an opportunity to break through the dark barrier and shine its light for us. Know that in every challenge there is an opportunity, and behind every cloud sits a sun waiting for its chance to be revealed to all.

In a reading the Sun can take on many meanings, though the most predominant one is that of success and completion. It can be a herald of joy, happiness, the birth of a child, a stable family, material prosperity or almost any other end that is positive - but above all it shows completion. One cycle is over and, before the next begins, there is a period of light and relaxation that you can and should properly enjoy. Success comes if you are confident and bold in the use of your creative energy. Glow with the vitality of the Sun whose light is umatched and whose power is absolute.

Such power and clarity are within everyone's grasp, including yours, if you let the light of the Sun illuminate you. If there are areas of darkness lurking inside you, the Sun's rays will expose them so you can integrate them into yourself. Fogs of confusion are burned away with the Sun's fiery sword, and its flames drive away fear and all the terrors of the night. A seemingly hopeless situation will be hopeless no more once the Sun shines down upon the true path, the correct solution. When the Sun appears, let its power amaze and overwhelm you. But do not simply watch - reach up to grasp it, draw its power into yourself. The power of the Sun is true power indeed.


HIGH PRIESTESS:The High Priestess is arguably the most difficult of the Major Arcana to qualify with words alone, because so much of her power and ability is veiled in mystery that it is difficult for anyone to fathom it all. Every card in the Tarot speaks differently to everyone, but the Priestess seems to bear the widest range of interpretations, because she speaks directly to the Inner Voice, the unconscious mind. She is the manifestation of the unconscious and the effects of the mysterious in our everyday world. Trying to see how such mysteries work often defeats their purpose, and with this in mind, the High Priestess will be explained in as much detail as possible.

She is, above all else, the base of potential that is the source of the power wielded by the Magician. She is the unlimited potential that allows him to transform and create whatever his Will desires. Understanding this type of balance, as found between potential and creation, masculine and feminine, is the key to unlocking some of the mysteries of the High Priestess. We see the clear progression of the theme of balance; instead of integrating opposites, the Priestess keeps them separate and keeps them in balance nonetheles. She herself is the scales; this symbolism is found in many Tarot decks. Without this balance there can be no power.

The second symbolic motif found in almost all instances of the High Preistess are symbols of the unconscious mind. On the Rider-Waite version this motif is especially prominent, but most decks feature at least some lunar imagery that in turn has ties to the unconscious. Most decks that have the "twin pillars" symbology also depict a veil strung between those pillars; the High Priestess stands between us and that veil as a moderator. Behind the veil lies the powers of the unconscious, which we cannot start to understand but which, through her, we can learn to control. She is the gateway to realms that we may never fully comprehend or master.

While it would be impossible for anyone to learn all of her mysteries and secrets, the High Priestess remains as a guide to those of us willing to venture deep within our minds to discover the true powers hidden deep inside each of us. This is the same power as that depicted on the Magician, but the scope of the Priestess' power is far different. While the Magician focuses his powers outward, to achieve a meaningful effect on the world, the High Priestess shows us that we can also use these powers on an inner level, to enrich and transform ourselves. Such transformations are certainly not as dramatic as the Magician's, but they are almost always more powerful.

The High Priestess represents the mysteries of the unconscious and the Inner Voice, and her appearance is often a sign that your own intuition is trying to send you a message. The unconscious often speaks to us in symbols, so be alert around you for anything that seems out of the ordinary. This said, if you have an important decision to make when the Priestess appears, this is often a sign that the answers will be revealed to you, if you are patient and open to the whispers from within. You simply have to wait and be receptive to inner messages. Her lesson is that everything you need to know already exists within you.

The theme of dualism in the High Preistess cannot be avoided either. She is often a sign of the Shadow, the negative portion of your personality that no one sees, and that you yourself could be unaware of. (In this sense, the term 'negative' does not refer to evil, just the opposite polarity from the positive and expressive part of your personality.) If you accept the Shadow within you, its powers will be open to you if you wish to use them. In most people the Shadow side is the more passive of the two, and the Priestess can therefore advocate a need for passivity in a situation. It is not always necessary to act; sometimes goals can be realized through inaction.


LOVERS (could be wrong cause the writing IS TOO BLURRY):The Lovers card is not just about love and sexuality; it has several meanings which are all related to the duality expressed in the image of the card. The image of the two lovers holding hands or intertwined is a powerful symbol for the harmonious union of two beings, but it also stands for the necessity of proper choice, and some interesting concepts about the relationship of our conscious minds to whatever power brings these lovers together. It should be apparent that, in our culture which has so many words and definitions for the simple emotion of love, the image of love as expressed in the Tarot can have so many meanings.

The Lovers is predominantly a card of the emotions, and it often portrays love that is divinely blessed, either by Cupid, an angel, or by God Himself. This seems to imply that nothing but good can come of this union, though with such a dualistic card there is always the potential for a sad conclusion, despite the best of beginnings. After all, love is like a flame because it can ignite the blaze of passion, but also because it can consume and destroy if used carelessly. Love is a wonderful thing, but profane or unrequited love has the power to tear families and lives apart. The Lovers has within it the potential for such love and we must always be cautious of it.

Air is the element which rules the Lovers, and we should therefore expect the majority of its meanings to be associated with the spirit and the mind. The notion of choice between positive and negative is first depicted on this card with the old symbology of a man deciding between two lovers. Such a moral crossroads is often shown by the Lovers card, which now tells us to consider all consequences before acting. The situation could be as simple as a fork in the road with two paths to choose between, or a much more complicated decision by which all of our strongest beliefs and ideals will be tested. In times of such difficult choice we clearly need high guidance.

The final meaning of the Lovers is perhaps best illustrated by the image of the card in the Rider-Waite deck, and some of its variants. This image shows the man looking at the woman, who in turn looks at the divine figure above them both. The man cannot see the angel, and he must trust the woman to see it for him. Likewise, the conscious mind (the man) cannot directly access Higher Powers (the angel), whatever you believe those are. The unconscious (the woman) must be the bridge between the physical and spiritual planes. This symbology also shows the true power of love; as discussed on the Ten of Cups, through love we can get a glimpse of Heaven.

Often, the Lovers will refer to a relationship when it appears in a reading, and when it does, that relationship will be a perfect expression of the love between two people. This will almost always be a sexual relationship, though not necessarily. You must always keep in mind, though, the potential for conflict despite happy beginnings. Love is a flame that must not be left unattended; it must be fueled and allowed to burn for as long and as brightly as possible. If not a physical pairing of man and woman, the Lovers can also show the integration of two conflicting parts of yourself, the masculine and the feminine. Through the combination, greater wisdom is revealed.

Finally, this card carries the meaning of choice, usually on the moral or ethical plane. The most familiar instance of such a choice, sadly, is the choice between your spouse and someone else with whom you have fallen in love. Alternatively, it could be between two possible partners, both of whom you love, but only one of whom would be best for you. Look inside, and turn to your unconscious for inspiration. Through it you can access the wisdom needed to make this choice properly, and for the good of all involved. Trust the counsel of your Inner Voice, and once you have made your decision, do not rescind it no matter how much opposition you face.

Sister FROM THERE YUKO+DEVIL TAROT:The Devil is another of the popularly misunderstood cards of the Tarot, perhaps second only to Death in this category. In our modern world we do not like to think that there is a seed of negativity in everyone, so we assume that anything bad that happens must be the work of some outside Devil, who is to be feared and shunned. But really, people do not do bad things because a force outside them is controlling their actions. They do bad things because the negative part of their own personality is expressing itself. To deny this side of yourself is to give it power over you, and to give it free reign over your life will eventually destroy you.

The symbolic portrayal of the Devil in the Tarot is a clear mockery of two previous Major Arcana, the Lovers and the Hierophant. The former parody is perhaps the more obvious. Where the angel hovers on the Lovers, the Devil stands on his card, cursing the man and woman rather than blessing them. They who were once connected to each other by love are now attached to the Devil by their chains of lust and ignorance. The Devil's hand mimics the gesture of the Hierophant, but perverts it. The true Hierophant offers spiritual wisdom and beckons to us with an open hand. The Devil's gesture hides his true intentions of hurtful wisdom - not really wisdom at all.

It must be stressed again that the Devil is not a force that attacks from without, but a cancer than devours you from within. When the Devil is in power everything turns upside-down; hence, the inverted Pentagram associated with him. When you submit to your inner Devil, you simultaneously submit to every other force in the outside world that would do you harm. You allow others to bind you and control your life. You allow your creative powers to be corrupted and turned against you. But through all of this you are not a victim of anyone but yourself. In fact, in a sense you are not really a victim at all, and certainly not helpless.

The most important lesson the Devil teaches you is that you can free yourself from whatever restrictions are holding you back, at any time you choose to. The chains that bind the figures on the Devil card are loose enough to be thrown off at any time. There is still positive energy within you that you can tap to break free - but only if you can let go of the materialism and that the Devil embodies. In the end, the best way to free yourself of the Devil's bondage is not to submit to it, but to accept it as the shadow that must be cast wherever there is light. Having accepted the shadow, you can look to the light.

When the Devil card appears in a reading it usually shows that you are not in control of your life, sometimes as a result of your own actions, but more often as a byproduct of inaction. This loss of control often leads to loss of hope, and a lack of faith in your own abilities. Sometimes ignorance and materialism are the tools of the Devil, and those traits will be evident if you focus on worldly possessions and power while ignoring the spiritual power you have inside of you. As a result, your creativity and energy can be seriously impaired, and you may not wish to regain control of yourself.

Your own mindset is a critical factor when the Devil card appears. If you think darkness has won, it has. If you are willing to let others exploit and restrain you, then they can and they will. But no one has power over you unless you give it away. If you are willing to release yourself from the chains of ignorance, you can do so, and you can step into the light. Turn all that negative energy into positive energy and see how much you can accomplish when you believe you can. Take a good long look at yourself and try to see what you could not see before. Always remember, that shadow cannot exist without light, and that there is no Devil except the one you create.

YUKO+Magician tarot:The Magician's number is One, the number of creation and individuality; his power is transformation through the use of his will. In his manipulation of the basic elements into all the substances and materials of life, he shows us that from a foundation of the mundane can emerge all that is to come. He can take the Nothing from which the Fool emerged and shape it into Something, making one out of zero. Clearly this is power of a divine sort, and it is true that the Magician is a conduit for a higher power, which commands all of the material world. Since all that we can see in the physical world is the conduit himself, the acts he performs often seem like magic.

The Magician may seem like a strange title for someone who holds real power, because the word "magician" tends to conjure up pictures of illusionists and escape artists, whose power involves sleight of hand and misdirection. The Magician, however, is similar to the stage illusionist in many ways. He is confident in his skills and his ability to produce the effects that he wants. His real power comes from sources outside of him, and he is powerless without these sources, just as an illusionist depends on people "behind the scenes". Both magician and Magician, however, are as important to their powers are the powers are to them. Without a conduit, power itself is impotent and useless.

With his powers the Magician holds influence over all - theory and practice, logic and emotion, thought and action. Almost every modern depiction of the Magician includes one or more symbols of infinity to denote his limitless power; the snake eating its tail and the lemniscate (horizontal figure-eight) being chief among these. This limitless power comes from sources outside his body yet under his control. And as long as the Magician remembers that this power is his to command, even if he loses all of his worldly power and skill he can never truly be called powerless. For his Will is a power that, while it can be subdued, it can never be destroyed.

Another nearly universal association with the Magician is the red-and-white color scheme. This theme recurs throughout the Tarot and it is very symbolic that it starts with this card and not the Fool. For while the Fool was the potential for positive and negative, the Magician is the union of positive and negative. He creates and he preserves; he destroys and he redeems. His true power is that he not only knows what he must do, but he knows how he must do it, and why he must do it. Then he does it. The Magician reminds us that a wish alone will change nothing, but a decision can change everything. A desire to create is nothing without an ability to create, and vice-versa.

When the Magician appears he shows that you are ready to become a conduit for power, like he is. The forces of creation and destruction have always been at your command but now you have the wisdom and confidence needed to use them constructively. Now is the time to act, if you know what is it you want to accomplish and why. Since the powers of transformation are at your command, change your desires into objectives, your thoughts into actions, your goals into achievements. If you have recently met with failure, now you can change that failure into success as easily as the Magician changes fire into water. The only limits you have are those you impose on yourself.

The outward manifestations of such power are as numerous as they are varied, but the most common outer effect of the Magician's influence is unswaying and total confidence. The realization that the world is under your control is what inspires this kind of confidence, and with good reason. So go out into the world, set your mind to whatever goal you are interested in, and then just stand back and watch as everything falls into place under your command. Ultimately, the message of the Magician is a simple one despite his limitless and infinitely complex power. Your life is under your control. Your life is what you want it to be. Your life is what you make it.

MAGICIAN+HERMIT tarot:When questions about the nature of existence and the purpose of life start eating away at your mind, answers will not be found in the physical world. They can only be found inside of you. You have risen above your desires and emotions because they will no longer help you on your journey. Now you must become like the Hermit, who seeks the answers alone. Only the whispers of his Inner Voice, and the light of his lamp, will guide him now. Eventually even that lamp shall be cast away, because it is artificial and will not help the Hermit forever. His own inner light must learn to shine in the absence of the light of others.

For true wisdom to emerge, there can be no distractions. Any preoccupations of the world, no matter how small or inconsequential they may seem, will be heard as shouts that drown out the still voice within. It is not enough to rid yourself of inner turmoil, though that is a step in the right direction. The next step is to eliminate outer turmoil, through isolation and withdrawal from the world. This is the path of the Hermit, who slips into darkness in order to have the light revealed to him when he is ready. Like the Fool, he is once again alone, separated from all others. But this time it not only by choice, but by necessity.

Once he has learned the lessons and seen his true wisdom, the Hermit will often pick up his lamp and return to the real world, in order to help others see their own potential as well. But the Hermit is not a teacher; he will not lecture his students and tell them all about his experiences of solitude and isolation. They must experience it themselves, for wisdom earned simply by listening to another person is not really wisdom at all. True wisdom and true enlightenment always come from within. A teacher may tell the student how he found wisdom, but the student must go and find it for himself. Wisdom is not a gift presented to you on a platter. It is a gift you give yourself.

The lessons of life cannot be rushed, or forced, or made to happen before it is time for them to happen. This statement, in fact, is one of those lessons that everyone must learn. But simply reading it on a page, or hearing others tell you about it, will not give you the experience of the lesson. Only by doing - or not doing - can we ever hope to understand. Knowledge only becomes wisdom when we earn it, through the sacrifice of our familiar surroundings and all the people we hold dear. If you think about it logically, everything you leave behind when you follow the Hermit's call will remain when you return. The only thing that will have changed is you.

The appearance of the Hermit is a call to learn more about yourself and the nature of your existence, and everyone experiences this call at some point in their lives. Take this as a sign that your worldly problems and affairs can safely be put on hold; there is greater, inner work to be done now. Often this will refer to a problem you must solve or a part of your nature you must deal with before a situation can progress. Only in rare circumstances will this refer to a spiritual transformation, but when it does, know that it will be a powerful change requiring much effort and commitment. A more long-term withdrawal may be needed.

The Hermit can also show you that a mentor is entering your life. This is a person who will not teach you overtly, but who will show you how to find the answers you are seeking within yourself. Perhaps you will be the mentor who is indicated by the Hermit, in which case you must be careful not to preach to your student, but guide him. Your wisdom will not be your student's, and you must accept that before any teaching can be done. If you are ever in doubt, know that all the wisdom you will need is already inside you, waiting to emerge. This light will not come unless sought out, but when it does, you will see that you had the answers all along.

Hermit+TEMPERANCE TAROT:After the purging experience of Death, it is necessary to rebuild and improve on that which has been left over. Now that old habits and beliefs are gone forever, new attitudes must be acquired to fill the gaps and make you whole again. This process of reconstruction and harmonization is shown by the card called Temperance. The verb "to temper" means to modify or strengthen by adding a new component to an existing substance or mixture, and this broad defintion can be applied to many areas of your life. But all applications of Temperance share the common theme of moderation and balance, culminating in the creation of a centered and well-rounded being.

In most Tarot decks the red-on-white symbology first shown in the Magician appears on the card in some form. The temperance of desire (red) with purity (white) is one of the most fundamental manifestations of this card, as is the reverse (purity with desire). The angel on the Rider-Waite deck, who wears a white robe and has red wings, is a perfect illustration of this. Purity of heart and mind gives you a solid base to fall back upon, but only through the desire for personal growth can you ever develop. The angel's white robes give him his basic form, but only through the control of his red wings comes his ability to fly.

The act of Temperance can also refer to the coming together of two distinct beings that must function as one. Obviously this refers to relationships, but also to friendships, partnerships, and all kinds of compromises and committees. This can also take place on an internal level, when you confront your deepest desires and your most irrational fears and, instead of getting rid of them, you incorporate them into yourself and grow stronger because of the temperance. If you throw away your Shadow it cannot help you, but by accepting it you bring it under your control. Perfect harmony with oneself is one of the two lessons of this card, and the one often seen in readings.

Temperance also represents an appreciation of moderation through experience of the extremes; to use an analogy, to live through the darkest night and the brightest day to appreciate both the twilight and the dawn. Only through seeing and acknowledging both sides - the positive and the negative - can you integrate both into your personality. Another facet of the Temperance card is that you must not strive to become totally positive, even though that might seem like a good goal. Life seeks balance and if you strive to be a totally positive being you will be fighting the current all the way. Better to embrace moderation and go with the flow.

The two situations in which Temperance will most often appear are in the context of your relationships with others and with yourself. In the former case, a need for balance is often implied. Conflict can only be resolved through compromise and cooperation, and two people who both acknowledge this cannot be in conflict for long, because they always balance things out before they become problematic. Likewise, they enjoy the good times but know that they cannot last forever, and are not disappointed on darker days. If a relationship seems out of balance in any way, Temperance must be taken as a sign to start fixing things before it gets too far out of balance and it is irrevocably destroyed.

Often, though, before you can achieve harmony in your relationships with the people around you, you must make peace with yourself. Inner imbalances can often manifest in the physical world if they are not attended to, whether or not the imbalance is a negative one. Having a lifestyle that is optimistic to the point of believing yourself to be invincible will lead to problems, maybe even more so than a lifestyle of pessimism and paranoia. Balance is best achieved through turning to the Inner Voice for guidance. Temperance is a card of health, and its appearance shows that your inner power is ready to heal you and make you stronger.

STRENGTH TAROT:The title of this card is often misleading because most people tend to think of strength as a property of the physical body. But this is not a card of brute force, because none of the Major Arcana apply directly to the physical body. These are cards of ideas, feeling and beliefs; trying to make a Major Arcanum depicting someone strong of body would be a pointless exercise. But strength is not always measured in terms of how much you can lift or how fast you can run. True Strength is fortitude of character, and the ability to not only control the emotions, but to rise above them, and triumph over all out lower impulses and desires.

This card continues the lesson of the Chariot, showing that once we have learned to control emotion, we must rise above it. Many people attribute the notions of forgiveness, compassion and nurturing to this card, but this is clearly not what is shown by Strength. This is a Fire card, and therefore detrimental to all the emotions. The only qualities that abound in Strength are courage and patience. Neither of these are really emotions, but ways of acting and doing that are not tempered by feeling. Courage is the antithesis of fear; patience, the control of worldly desires. There is no emotion here, just determination and action.

The symbology of the lion is common to Strength, and aptly so. The lion is the "beast within", the raging inner desire inside every one of us that must be controlled or it will be set free to manifest in the world. The image of the woman opening the mouth of the lion shows both courage and patience; she must not fear the lion, and she must wait for it to tire before she can exert her own will upon it. This is not an image of compassion in any sense of the word; how can forcing a creature to obey your will be seen as compassionate? Forgiveness and nurturing are likewise not to be seen anywhere in this image. There is just the purity of the maiden and the power of her inner beast that she is attempting to control.

She needs patience to defeat the lion because her power is not brute physical force, as mentioned. The force she has is very little, but it can be applied infinitely, and she will continue to apply light but constant pressure until the lion submits to her superior will. It does show a certain determination, and the conviction that even small results will have effects if kept up long enough, just as a constant dripping hollows a stone. So Strength is not a card of compassion and love, but a card of quiet yet unstoppable power. Such power radiates from the soul, and for a consciousness aware of this power, there can be no resistance, and no defeat.

The qualities of Strength are already in you, waiting to appear once you have mastered all your base emotions and when you are ready to move on to the spiritual tasks that lie ahead. Its main lesson is that emotions must be transcended if spiritual wisdom and intuition are to be awakened. Whispers from the intuition are often drowned out by the constant roar of emotion and preoccupation and fear. Only once you have eliminated these can the silence you need be created. So conquer your fears, control your impulses, and never lose patience with yourself or what you are doing. Eventually you will see the wisdom of letting go of your lower self.

This is not a card of love over hatred, as most would see it. This is simply mind over matter, superior will over inferior desires. No matter how strong the beast within you seems, you have the power to control it and make it submit to your will. This cannot be done with physical force or with undue haste; it is a slow and difficult process. When Strength is around, however, you can be assured that you have enough endurance to see this task through to its eventual end. If you are pushing too hard, Strength shows the need to withdraw for the moment, and be patient. Enlightenment will come only when the time is right; it cannot be rushed.

THE MOON TAROT:It has been said many times that things are not always as they seem, and in the influence of the Moon this axiom is particularly true. In the moonlight, things that are benevolent during the day can suddenly seem dangerous and malicious. The very term "moonlight" is misleading because the Moon does not emit light of its own, it simply reflects the light of the Sun. Some people even claim to see the face of a man on the Moon's cratered surface, though of course such a thing is impossible and only an illusion. A lot of people who look for that face in the Moon know it could not be there, but they look nonetheless.

This card is one of the few Major Arcana with important animal symbolism, and with no human figures in the majority of cases. The Rider-Waite card shows a wolf and a dog; two members of the same genus, but the first is wild and the second has been domesticated. Both of them are shown howling at the Moon, however, and if a human were present in this scene he would probably be affected somehow too. Regardless of your place in the hierarchy of society or of evolution, you are still susceptible to illusions and deception. The Moon shines the same light down on everyone, though what you see when that light reaches your eyes depends on who you are, not on what you see.

In ancient religions the Moon deity was often a Goddess with ties to female fertility, because there was a visible correlation between the cycle of the Moon and the female menstrual cycle. While this association is still valid, the Moon of the Tarot tends to deal with fertility of imagination rather than fertility of body. The crayfish shown regularly on Moon cards is a sign of the emerging subconscious and its influence over the conscious mind, and for a mind closed to the messages of its subconscious, there can be a lot of illusion and deceptions to face. You can no longer tell what is real and what is just a manifestation of your fears and desires.

The ordeal of the Moon is the last challenge posed by the Major Arcana, in which you must travel in the dark, not knowing for sure if your path is the right one. There is no sunlight to guide you, no distant landmark in the hills to direct your steps, no one to travel alongside. This is a journey that must be made alone, in darkness and without a map or a compass. You must learn to rely on your own inner light to lead you along the true path. Any hesitation, any doubt, and that light will be extinguished forever. But if you believe, your light will shine forever, as brightly as the sun that will inevitably rise once this night has passed.

The Moon's appearance in a reading almost always means that something is not as it appears to be, and that vigilance and perception will be necessary to find that which is hidden before it is too late. In a generally good reading the Moon shows that not all is as wonderful as you would think. You may be idealizing the sitatuion, and ignoring the fact that potential for failure exists among success. A negative reading that includes the Moon often shows that you are letting your imagination run away with you, and that things are not nearly as bad as they seem. In both cases you must open your eyes and see what it really going on.

This card can also show times when you are not sure of your destination, or even of the path you are travelling - but you travel nonetheless. It's quite possible that you have lost your way, and are stumbling around in the dark. If you wait until the sun rises again the path may have changed and the opportunity could have been lost. So what should you do? The Moon is a card of intuition and psychic forces, so let go of your conscious mental blocks and let your intuition guide you. Not only will the way forward be revealed, but in a lot of cases you will learn lessons about yourself that will be valuable in later journeys.

THE TOWER TAROT:Sometimes, when accepted and welcomed, divine wisdom and enlightenment flow freely like a calm river. The rest of the time, wisdom is blocked until it rages forth like a tidal wave and crushes anything in its path, including the recipient of the wisdom. This is the energy of the Tower card, an energy very similar to Death in that it is both a destructive and a creative force. When a building is old and decrepit, it must be demolished so that a new structure may stand in its place. The same is true of the symbolic Tower. When old attitudes and beliefs are outdated, you will have to let go of them, whether you like it or not.

In most cases, the latter is true - you do not want to give up your ideals, and you cling to them like a child to his preciou security blanket. This attempt at security ensures nothing, really, except a disastrous change that will painfully rip away that which you did not discard of your own volition. But there is a greater purpose at work here. The power of the soul and the mind is far greater than the energy of some physical thing, and it can be taken with you anywhere and always. To extend the security blanket analogy, the blanket must be taken away so the child can find power and security within himself, instead of within some material object.

When you believe material objects are more powerful than spirit and mind, you start building up a Tower of falsehoods on a very unstable foundation. If, by some miracle of engineering, it does not collapse under its own weight, you will eventually push it over yourself. The Tower falls not because Fate says so but because something within can no longer endure the strain it must bear. Sooner or later it will give out. This is a humbling experience because its lesson is that no one is invincible. The problem for most people is that they concentrate on the negatives and ignore the great opportunity that has been given to them.

The fire of the Tower card burns away all that is negative and outdated, but it leaves behind all that is positive, all that is necessary to begin your life again and replace all that was lost. In essence, this is the energy of Death and Temperance combined, because sweeping-away and building-up both happen at about the same time on the Tower. As soon as the tumbling figures on the Rider-Waite card land on the jagged rocks of reality, they are greeted with the influx of wisdom that they need to survive. And with that wisdom in hand, they can take the first step back on the true path to enlightenment: building a mental Tower to Heaven rather than a physical one.

When wisdom must be forced upon you, or when ignorance must be taken away, the Tower will appear to let you prepare yourself. If you choose to let go of what you no longer need, and accept what you do need, things will go much more smoothly and without frustration. If you ignore the warning of the Tower, however, and cling to the status quo, be prpared for a downfall. You have been oversleeping and this is your spiritual wake-up call. When the Tower is in the area, know that anything that seems secure could not really be safe at all. If a change is destined to happen, to not try to fight it, because all change happens because it is needed.

On an inner level, the destruction of Tower is akin to the breaking-down of the fortress called the ego. When you build a wall to hide your secrets or to conceal your true self, you must know that sooner or later the wall will come tumbling down. Fantasies are particularly prone to being shattered by the power of this card; the Tower dissipates them like sunlight burning away fog. Fantasies and daydreams will not help where you are going so it is best to let go of them now. Do not place your faith in illusions of security; the crown on this card must be worn on by a human head, not placed atop a tower of cold stone.

THE STAR TAROT:Whenever all hope seems lost, it will reappear to prove that you have really lost nothing, except perhaps your sight of the path to enlightenment. And in the absence of that sight, the Star will light your way. Its light is not a blinding flash like the lightning bolt of the Tower, but a soft radiating glow that warms and comforts, rather than burning and destroying. You must remember that both of these energies ultimately come from the same place in the sky - from Heaven. After the light of the Tower destroys the false path you were following, the kinder and gentler light of the Star will lead you back to the right path.

In terms of symbolism this card is similar to Temperance; there is a figure by a pool with two cups. But while the contents of the Cups were mixed with each other in Temperance, here they are mixed with the waters of the eternal spirit of the Divine. When you cannot help yourself, the Star tells you to look to the heavens for guidance. Or, more appropriately, look to the spark of divinity that lies within yourself that you could not see or acknowledge before. Each of us has a little piece of the Star deep inside, waiting to cast its light into the world to light the way. This is what Crowley meant when he affirmed that "every man and every woman is a star."

The Star is a card of faith, both in your own power, and in powers greater than your own. When the Tower sweeps away all the negativity in your life, you once again need something to fill the void, and faith is a good place to start. What exactly is faith? It could be said that faith is a conscious belief in an unconscious experience, of which we may not be directly aware, but of which we can still feel the effects. This definition fits both belief in a deity and belief in your own abilities. Having faith in any power will allow that power to manifest in your life. Beleiving that something will happen is as sure a way as any to make it happen.

There is a lot of meditative imagery on almost all renditions of the Star, though the most interesting symbol on the Rider-Waite version of the card is the pool of water at the center of the scene. On some decks the naked woman is standing in the pool, but in the Rider-Waite version she kneels beside it. Notice that her right foot rests on the water but does not break the surface. Once faith is placed in its power, the pool of the subconscious becomes able to support the conscious mind. The miraculous ability to walk on water is symbolically translated here into the ability to trust in another power, whether in the heavens or in yourself. Once that trust is achieved, anything is possible.

There are few cards more positive than the Star, because when it appears in your life it is nothing less than a beacon of hope and inspiration. In times of darkness it shows that there is a way out, and tells you not to worry, for illumination and freedom are at hand. All you need is something in which to place your faith. So trust in yourself, and in whatever powers you believe control the universe, to help you through difficult times. Let the infinite energy of the Star warm you and rejuvenate your soul, to provide the strength and the clarity of purpose you need to continue on your journey.

It is important to keep in mind, however, that the Star is never a card that shows the final solution to any problem. It simply shows the hope and faith to get to wherever you're going; without hope we can accomplish nothing, but hope is only a beginning. Now that you have been inspired, you still have much work to do in order to bring your vision into manifestation. You must combine the solidity of material existence with the waters of your emotions and of your spirit. This is a time when miracles can happen, so kick off your shoes and wade into the pool, confident that the water will support you until you reach the other side.

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE TAROT:The Wheel of Fortune is a type of energy that stands beyond the realm of our understanding and control. Certainly you can experience its effects in life, like you feel the pull of gravity on your body. But just as you can see the apple falling but not the gravity pulling on it, so too are the works of Fate and Destiny invisible to us. Only their results can be seen, and even then, only when Destny itself decrees that the time is right for its effects to be manifested. Unlike the majority of the Major Arcana, the Wheel of Fortune hovers in the clouds, showing that you can try to reach it, but that you can never fully understand it.

The wheel is an apt symbol for the forces of Destiny and Fate because it shows how everything is connected in a cycle; some might call it the circle of life. Everything happens in cycles; we rise and fall just as a spot on the perimeter of a wheel travels from the highest point, through all the possible points on the wheel, and then back to the apex. However changes will affect you depends on where you are on the wheel. If you are at the top then any change could throw you off, but if you are the bottom then a change could start you back up to the top. And for one person to rise another must fall - everyone is connected.

Destiny seems to strike without warning, but often its effects can be seen coming if you know where and how to look for them. This is the principle of the Tarot and divinatory systems in general; to see things coming before they happen so you can prepare. Obviously if you see a wheel with the Sphinx on the top, Typhon the snake on the left, and Hermanubis on the lower right, and you know which way the wheel is turning, you can tell where each of the three figures is going - and you can also tell where they've been. Through careful extrapolation the effects of Destiny become less mysterious, and someday everyone may grasp this idea.

This cyclical structure of Fate is perhaps the only way to really understand how Fate manifests. The conclusion of a situation is found in its beginning, just as the number 10 of the Wheel of Fortune reduces to 1 by the addition of its digits. When you can realize that each beginning leads to an ending, and that each ending is both the results of one beginning and the freshly planted seed of another, then you will have grasped the essential notion of the Wheel of Fortune. And once that notion is grasped, the universe opens up to you, because you are ready to learn all its wisdom. The first hurdle has been passed and greater lessons lie ahead.

The appearance of the Wheel of Fortune shows that change is not only likely to happen, it is certain to happen, and soon. The nature of that change and the effects it has really depend on how much you understand the concepts of Fate, and whether or not you can prepare for it. Generally the change shown in the Wheel of Fortune is a dramatic change from the established order. So if you have been scraping along for a while, expect big changes in your favor within a few days. But if you've been feeling on top of the world for a long time, batten down the hatches and keep an eye out for storms - one is bound to hit you sooner or later.

No matter which way the Wheel of Fortune throws you, it's impossible to try and change it, so you might as well try to live with it. If a crisis seems inevitable, recall that in every crisis lies opportunity. When you've been swept in new direction, know that every path leads somewhere, even if you don't know where it is. When times are bad, or when times are good, always keep in mind that they won't last forever. Such events are just out of your control, and if you can accept that then the ride gets a lot easier. If you struggle against the Wheel it will crush you. So roll along with it!

DEATH TAROT:The image of Death charging across a field on his spectral steed would strike fear into the heart of almost any man. The appearance of the Death card has a similar effect on most people, though it really should not. Whether you like it or not, Death is one of the most powerful cards in the Tarot. Humans naturally fear the unknown, and so Death is our greatest fear since it is the greatest unknown. The majority of us are unaware that our mind and spirit die all the time, constantly shedding old beliefs and acquiring new ones. It has been said many times by many readers: the Death card is not a card of death - it is a card of transformation.

In the Tarot, as in reality, Death is nothing more than a transition to the next level of life. Whether you believe that a soul goes to heaven or back to Earth to be reincarnated, the fact remains that the soul lives on. The candle is extinguished, but only because the day has come. The river shown on many versions of the Death card is a symbol, showing that life will go on, no matter what disastrous things happen. The river water will reach the sea, rise into the clouds, then rain onto the land to flow into the river again. Nothing is destroyed, because nothing can be destroyed - there can be only transformation.

The only real reason the transformation shown by Death is so catastrophic is because it is being held back, fought against by those too afraid to realize that change is beneficial. Every change happens for a reason, and Death is a force like Justice in that it is absolutely fair. It does not discriminate against one group and spare another - everyone is equal in the eyes of Death. So if big changes are happening in your life it is certainly plausible that you are the reason for them. There's no point fighting death, it only makes things worse. Like the Hanged Man, accept that change happens and let it do what it must.

Take a look at the Rider-Waite version of the Death card, and note the bishop on the right side of the image. He is actually welcoming Death, because he knows of the great spiritual transformation it brings. Almost all versions of the Death card show a symbol of resurrection or re-birth. This could be the rising sun, an egg, or a sapling sprouting from the body of a dead man. All these symbols show that to progress in life, our old form must die, just as a snake sheds its old skin to reveal a shiny new one. This is the message of the card: Death must be conquered by the regeneration of the soul, and he who knows this shall live forever.

When the Death card appears, big changes are heading your way. Usually this change refers to something in your lifestyle; an old attitude or perspective is no longer useful and you have to let go of it. While the Hanged Man was a card of voluntary sacrifice, the Death card is a forced sacrifice - but that does not mean that it is not for your own good. Sometimes you cannot see how your attitudes are hurting you, and when that is true, the Death card is your wake-up call. Death is not simply destruction; it is destruction followed by renewal. Even though one door may have closed, another is opening. Will you have the courage to step through?

If so, before you go forward, take a moment to look back. Is there anything that you are carrying with you that is no longer necessary? Let it go now, before you proceed. Are your old attitudes holding you back, or are high expectations constantly disappointing you? Cast them off, or let Death's watery energy wash them away from you. Open yourself and let it strip away all that you no longer need - fear, revenge, intolerance. Flowers cannot bloom if the land is full of weeds which choke the ground, and likewise, your spiritual enlightenment will be held back by doubt and fear. Let them go now or risk having them painfully ripped away when Death inevitably returns.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------SUBJECTED TO REVIEW UPON SUBS
RAW is finally out! The worst has come as I feared. OMG. Wow it took some time to cool off. I finally managed to get things straight. Yuko is still a pain to even endure the pain of her enduring her pain from this episode.

The secret of Yuko was that which I feared the most: unbearable pain, torture beyond human physical harm and mind scream echoes that make one calm into insane.

Yuko going naked in the church was a cry for help that even GOD had to watch and yet GOD has to show a miracle in such a response. Yuko did not get that response.....;-; If I could I would DO SOMETHING! Damn you demons that bully Yuko!

The hate Yuko must have built up.......is unimaginable comparable to a Demon that wants to eat everything, who trusts no one and constantly eats lust/sadness/negative and there is very much many.

Even Nagi is affected by it. So much sadness! ;-; I even have problems writing this when I think of the pain and tears these girls have and compare it to somethings in this world. I realize that is SO MUCH! The pain is so much one would want to kill himself because of such unbereable feelings of having the person MOST WE LOVE turn away to another.

The tarot cards are there to illustrate the feelings and situation of Yuko at the time she associates the card with the explanation of her voice. The one with the devil and death scared me. These are the worst card tarots in the set.

I suppose the virginity symbolizations is quite clear in many forms with Yuko and get interpreted as Yuko that may want to go further with Yuu BUT she does not trusts him. Sure they kissed and talked but YUU HESITATED after hearing Yuko's secret and pain. CAN HE HANDLE IT? DOES HE DOUBT HIMSELF in handling all this situation.

Yuko also compares herself to Yuu's sister but she knows that it would not be possible for her replace his sister no matter what BUT SHE WOULD LIKE TO and also to be his lover. Perhaps something Yuu wanted perhaps not BUT they were together as sister and brother sharing a bed so deep bonding might not be out of question despite leading to a TABOO.

WHAT SCARED ME:

Yuko's GOLDEN EYES at the end IN DEMON form.

Some meanings of the Tarot cards

The Xs, Os, Red circles and other shapes as wound meanings of the physical torture due to bullying/abuse.

Nagi's body comparison and art meanings. They were very explicit but also Yuko's and I was scared to their deep meanings. UNBEARABLE PAIN!

Yuko's PAIN INFERNO at the end! I WAS SAYING NON STOP: "YAMETE YUKO! ONEGAI YAMATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" which means Stop Yuko...........please STOP!!!!!!!!. This was worst than the phone thing with Miyako in season 1 when Hiro did not answer cause he was helping Kei with her leg injury.

Yuko GETTING NAKED IN THE CHURCH! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I hate that! It is BLASPHEMY! I dare anyone to go to a church naked! HA! You will not get away from bad luck! I guaranteed this much.

The whole virgin thing with the VIRGIN MARY STATUE. Confessing my love in the church..........YES! Talking/expressing/ showing sexual feelings/sexual reference such as the body and talking about womanhood IS NO WAY something to DO IN A CHURCH. I understand the meaning and implication BUT this would be much better at Yuko's place or some other NON HOLY place.

WHAT I APPRECIATED:

Yuu and Yuko's kiss was good and nicely shown.

The Tarot's card mysticism other than the death and devil Tarots.

The deep meanings (MUST WATCH MANY TIMES to understand)

Oh man I got soooooooo HAPPY with OP. So the sorty starts with some developement about Sunohara if people did not notice the preview is about him and a girlfriend or finding one but why push him into it is ????? to me.

THE MUSIC IS GREAT!

Art is as good as the first season!

To the guy who says Fuko Ibuki is deleted......WRONG! See the ED she is walking with everyone so it means MY DREAM WILL COME TRUE! She will heal! SHE MUST!

I loved the baseball game but I WONDER why was Okazaki depressed at one point...don't tell it's the stupid father cause he is supposed to fix that somehow.

Two homeruns, one by Kyou Fujibayashi and the other by Sakagami! Yay!

The bat hit the leg of Nagisaka's father is ouch! I know cause I had a ball hit me also but on my foot. Trust me I was lucky nothing was broken but IT HURT LIKE A BITCH. Now I am too scared of baseball.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Yoshino crazy aura



SUNOHARA getting HIS ASS KICKED by Sakagami! LOL



Ah yes! The good old group!




EPISODE 2

I just saw this RAW. Wow Sunohara is trying really hard but I THINK IT IS A LAME EXCUSE to not be able to accomplish or excel yourself just cause you do not have a girl to love. THAT IS A BS! I never had girlfriend that was there for long and have gone wayyyyyyyy further than Sunohara so BS!

On the other hand Kyou is funny with her kicks and of course so is Tomoyo cause Sunohara cannot get her to pay attention to him.

The beginning NOTICE TOW SHEEPS THIS TIME. The meaning may be that it is that Nagisawa helps with Okazaki get Sunohara a girl.

SANAE IS MOE! IN THIS EPISODE ONCE AGAIN SANAE IS MOE!+ She cosplays sorta of but really it is to try different dresses.

LOL at Sunohara and all the coffee canes! LOL!

BTW IS IT JUST ME OR MEI IS DEVELOPING BROTHER COMPLEX???????

HIGHLIGHTS:

POOR SUNOHARA GETS ABUSED SOOOOOO MUCH! Yet he tries to be happy.




SANAE BEING IN DIFFERENT COSPLAYS!




SUNOHARA'S SISTER MEI IS LOL!


EPISODE 3

I AM FREAKED OUT BY THIS EPISODE!
Here's why:

- Sunohara might be falling in love with Sanae more than I though. This could lead to some major emotional twisters!

-Mei seems to be falling in love with Okazaki......that is going to be wack. O_O

-Akie is starting to have doubts right away when he saw Sanae dressed up.

-The picture in the booth is cute but Mei seriously seems to be clinging unto Okazaki, Nagisa might might get hurt! I WILL PUNCH OKAZAKI if he makes Nagisa cry over something foolish like that.

-The GAME MUST END! This is getting WAY TOO serious! Emotions will get way too unstable. I SEE IT ALREADY!

Love the cooking of Sanae and HER HELPING THE KIDS was really nice but SUNOHARA BACA seemed not to care for the kids. Almost like he does not want to have kids ever.

I LOVE MEI the way the show her when she is younger and also Sunohara. Also LUCKY HER cause Okazaki got her that HUGE CREPE treat @ 2000 yen, which = to about 20$. O_O That is EXPENSIVE! XD

HIGHLIGHTS

Mei is pretty Kawaii.


It's all about Sunohara! I like him all through this episode but HE HAS TO CURE his hot temper cause it's going to land him IN TROUBLE AGAIN! I know that from first season!





Sanae is nice to help the kids+GROUP PIC with Sunohara being frustrated!+ANOTHER GROUP PIC! I like this one of Kotomi and the Fujibayashi sisters



LOVE THE FLASHBACK! Especially Mei when she is young but Sunohara looks fine too!



The part of Mei and Okazaki GAVE ME WEIRD VIBES.



Next week: OKAZAKI VS SUNOHARA! Beat him up Okazaki!



EPISODE 4

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Love the story progress..........LOTS OF TEARS IN THIS ONE....I WISH IT COULD CHANGE! Everyone seems to be in a train wreck of emotions. This is getting serious! NOW IT IS TOO SERIOUS FOR ME!

OMG WHY VIOLENCE! WHY? I know about Mei and her being abused physically at the moment all this happened. At that time there was no choice but to fight BUT WAS THERE ANY OTHER WAY! NO OTHER WAY??????

THIS SUCKS! VIOLENCE SOLVES NOTHING! BEEN THERE AND GOT MY ASS KICKED MANY TIMES...........CAUSE I PREFER BREAKING YOUR TV INSTEAD OF YOUR LIFE...MEANING TO KILL YOU! When I fight I kill and do not leave alone ever one who gets me angry.

Not only was the violence senseless, especially Okazaki VS Sunohara BUT ALL WOULD BE SOLVED WITH THE TRUTH! THE RAIN MADE THE FIGHT NOSTALGIC ON TOP OF THAT! THAT TRICK ALWAYS WORKS!

I AM HAPPY that they somehow got along after and laughed about it! I would find it hard to do still. STILL FIND IT HARD. I HATE VIOLENCE, punching and kicking should be used to help not to hurt!

I AM GLAD IN A WAY that those soccer club guys GOT THEIR ASS KICKED! ASSHOLES I WOULD KILL ALL OF THEM HIGURASHI STYLE! That's how I am when it comes to children and teenagers....I HATE SEEING THEM HURT!

Sorry but I have to say this like I promised *PUNCHES Okazaki with uppercut* OKAZAKI BAKA! YOU MADE NAGISAWA CRY! I never hold back my promises! STUPID OKAZAKI! Nagisa will remember that.......good thing Okazaki did reconcile with Sunohara somehow it made Nagisawa happy! ^_^ That is a relief! There should have been another way somehow.

I do have some respect for Okazaki that fact that he stood up for Mei but HE OVERDID IT!

I will leave it at that! SEE IN SUBS!

HIGHLIGHTS!

It' good the GANG TOGETHER!+It was nice of Yukine Miyazawa to help them...DID SHE SAY THAT SHE LIKES SUNOHARA???


Sunohara's PAST WAS DONE WELL ENOUGH FOR ME!



MEET THE ASSHOLES!+WTF is up with them kicking the soccer ball towrads TO HURT HER! YOU SOBS!


WTF and WTH is those SOBs Problem of HURTING MEI!+SUNOHARA TO THE RESCUE!


AND THE FIGHT CONTINUES!+Okazaki is IN! GO TEAM! PROTECT MEI!


THE STUPID OKAZAKI VS SUNOHARA FIGHT! I wish it did not happen despite teaching both something.


THE FATERMATH OF THE FIGHTS! Both of them ARE MUSHED UP!


THE BEST WAS WHEN SUNOHARA FOUND OUT THE TRUTH! LOL SO SURPRISED I HAD SOME LAUGH BUT BARELY CAUSE WAS EMOTIONALLY DOWN!


Apparently there is A DISCUSSION about how ALL GAMERS OF CLANNAD are HAPPY that the studio kept its promise of being faithful TO THE GAME! I find it STUPID TO TAKE A PATH OF VIOLENCE OR SENSELESS TROUBLE! If ONE CAN CHOOSE A PATH, then one SHOULD BE OF PEACE AND HEALTH!

EPISODE 5

OMG! I HAVE NOT SHED TEARS LIKE THIS SINCE FUKO IBUKI'S ARC. I wish I could curse that other girl and give Igaarashi senpai to Misae BUT even I cannot stop the fact there is another girl with him AND IT'S TOO LATE!

SO PLEASE MISAE FORGET THAT SOB AND GO WITH SHIMA KATSUKI! IT WOULD BE THE BEST! Please I hope next week........I HOPE........that Misae and Shima will GO OUT!

I LOVED THE PART of Sunohara being thrown around by Misae in the present!

GREAT PART WITH CAT and Everyone talking with Misae in her room.

GLAD THAT SHE ENCOURAGES Okazaki and Nagisa to go out! REALLY YOKATA!

THE WHOLE BRIDGE SCENE MADE ME *TEARS-TEARS* SO MUCH I REALLY WISH I COULD HELP MORE PEOPLE in real life but I have my own problems.

GREAT PART WITH THE BENCH AND SUNSET! Really nice!

WOW MISAE was almost as violent AS TOMOYO! Scary on that fact guess she is one of those Tsundere types.

SO ONCE AGAIN MISAE FORGET ABOUT THAT GUY AND GO OUT WITH SHIMA! ONEGAI!

MINA SHIAWASE!

HIGHLIGHTS

I LOVE THE BEGINNING OF THIS EPISODE AND ALWAYS WILL when it starts like this. One thing I agreed on this part: THIS WORLD IS SAD!



I like this part where Sunohara gets thrown around by Misae!+ IT' GOOD TO SEE SOME OF THE GANG TOGETHER with tea!


I LOVE the face of Sunohara when Misae finds out that he eavesdrops on her+TEN BATSU!


MISAE IS KAWAIIIII WHEN SHE IS YOUNG! Reminds me of Kyou+Shima is LET'S JUST SAY CUTE ENOUGH TO LOOK GOOD WITH MISAE! Want them to go out NOW!


I like it when Misae gets angry during her young days...seriously she looks like Kyou when she gets angry!+The bench part was REALLY NICE! GREAT ART!


Misae beating up Shima was a little funny BUT I THINK HE DOES NOT DESERVE and he has cuter looks than Sunohara in terms being appealing to the Lady fans out there...SO the violence sot ruins that mood a little.


IGAARASHI SENPAI+Him and that girl who is in the way of Misae.


This part is very NICE AND CUTE! It show Misae does care for Shima. Else she would even leave him in the rain.


SHIMA CRYING AND THE BRIDGE gave A DEEP HEART WOUND.....I happen TO HAVE EMPATHY so I know the feelings WITH THAT MUSIC.


A few notes on the side after subs:

Although there has beenm references to Kanon, there is only a similarity, that is cause Shima mentioned he was holding a cat on his wheelchair while Sagara took care of him. BTW THAT WAS REALLY NICE TO DO! I volunteered myself to help patients at my mom's hospital.........ALWAYS A WARM FEELING INSIDE while doing it!


EPISODE 6


RAW is out! Tears! Tears! Need to calm down brb. OMG I am emotionally influenced! Finally after cooling down! Oh man this episode has not made me so emotional since Fuko Ibuki arc in season 1. So sad yet ONE OF THE BEST romance ghost stories where ghost goes into the animal it was last with or to the animal that the person taking care of was with.

Key points I enjoyed:

- The beginning already the music setup everything! I loved at first how the bench near the water was the center where Shima and Misae started talking things. I liked the handkerchief of Shima....pink with a cat paw!

-I WAS SO HAPPY that I could laugh at the part where they dress up Shima into a girl and Misae even blushes at seeing Shima as a girl! REALLY CUTE! So funny but SADLY this is the only time the heart warmness was there.

-The follow made me CRY again. Knowing that Shima was to find out he did not exist and therefore he himself could not be Shima was a teary part. That was most likely when he found out that he does not have time anymore.

-When the Matsuri started I WAS HAPPY that Misae and Shima were having fun.

-TEARS started to fall right after when they kissed and Misae was so red in the face! ;o; ;o;

-More tears and my emotional train wreck started the moment he disappeared. I was like please do not let Shima disappear! Alas he was gone with the fact that his soul transfered to the cat AND it was all A DREAM of Tomoya through the soul of the cat.

-BEAUTIFUL MAGIC just like everyone said! I HOPE everyones wishes exceeded what they expected from this.

-I was happy to see Ibuki sensei sooooo much younger!

-One last thing! I WAS HAPPY for Tomoya and Nagisa! You guys GO MARRY! Great start that date to the festival! Still where IS FUKO? I am sure she must be coming up but not in 7 or 8 since this arc looks like Sunohara and Miyazawa

HIGHLIGHTS!

From the beginning we can see that Misae's friends want her and Shima be on good terms.+Shima's handkerchief is KAWAIIIIIII! I would not mind buying one for my sister!


Misae never stops her super wrestling moves on Shima!


The bench part was BEAUTIFUL! Very romantic setup!+The setup of the star with Shima on that same bench later on IS VERY NICE!


Misae's friends setup Shima.+The setup is............THEY MAKE HIM INTO A GIRL!


The band was cool and a guy was interested in Shima as a girl O_O wait till he finds out Shima is a guy+Shima is shy so HE RUNS!


What a delight to see Ibuki sensei young!+More funny poses of Shima while he is a girl!



MOST MOE moments of Shima Onna!+Even Misae blushes!



Guess Shima had enough of that game+Most peak SAD moment when he finds out he is not Shima or basically he died already.


Misae in kimono IS BISHOUJO!+Miase and Shima....FIND SHIAWASE! Sono daikoto des!


LOVED every single moments of the Shima and Misae during the festival!





MOST TEARY MOMENT! The kiss! SO EMOTIONAL! OMG! Cause it is not explicit but way more artistic and magical!



BEAUTIFUL Misae/Sakura petals falling/Shima as a cat combinations!



Proof that cat indeed was with Shima during his sick days before he died.


Misae being sexy for the cat...........Shima TOO BAD you are not human anymore.......I am sure you would be very HAPPY with Misae! MISAE x SHIMA forever!





I am still teary so going for a smoke...........I don't know why I am so sensible right now I wish I could do so much more but damn my weaknesses. Misae IS ONE STRONG girl!

Anime Relations: Toradora!

EPISODE 1

Sorry for being late boys. I think this will be like Hayate no Gotoku with some triangle. So that Ryuu guy's father is a gangster and left him? The man looks Yuu Yuu Hakusho's mom! LOL Ai saka aka Taiga is REALLY INTERESTING in personality...half romantic/half tomboyish. The school seems to know somethings about Ryuu and why he is scarier then he seems.

The parrot is LOL. See in subs for comments.

HIGHLIGHTS:

MOE MOE THE TIGER!


So I heard the family is weird.huh?


Best example for Ai Saka's personality of Tomboy....now now Ryuu is in trouble.


You know this TOO TOO MOE (meter overheating)


AH WTF IS THAT???? Why is it censored??????????????



EPISODE 2

OK, I saw this RAW before anyways. ONE THING: THE POLE THING IS STUPID! WHy would you kick a pole? SCREW THAT! Do it on a stop sign........I destroyed one once when I was pissed. I DESTROY MANY MANY THINGS WHEN I AM PISSED. Besides just like in the USA when you hit and try to break a phone booth, in Japan hitting the pole is considered vandalism so YEAH YOU GET CHASED BY THE COPS!

If all are BLIND....then you all should see that Aisaka and Ryuuji are becoming way more serious! Kitamura rejected her proposal as just staying friends. WHAT A FUCKI** IDIOT AHO HITO! Should be more man....IDIOT Kitamura!

Did not like it so was too lazy for highlights

EPISODE 3

WOW GREAT EPISODE ABOUT KUSHIEDA!!!!!!! ^_^

I will STRESS OUT MY POINTS ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL KUSHIEDA WOULD BE AS A GREAT PERSON!

-Hard working!
-Independent
-Can take injuries
-Is not a cry baby like most anime girls!
-CHEERS UP A LOT
-GREAT SMILE
-Innovative
-Competitive and sportive
-Can manage her time
-Now find her VERY MATURE FOR HER AGE!

ON TO THE HIGHLIGHTS!

Kushieda being very sportive and INNOVATIVE, she does these MODS on cell phones!


Great waitress job+Ryuuji dreams of her in a romantic way.LOL, guess he likes waitress dresses.


Another part time job(I think it is a liquor store)+Kushieda cheering up Ryuuji when they are trapped in a locked room! REALLY LIKE KUSHIEDA'S PERSONALITY in this one


Kushieda is pretty strong at taking accidental injuries compared to most females in anime.


Love this pose of Aisaka+THE MOM IS STILL LOL when she sleeps.


Aisaka is soooo LOL in those poses and sequences. At least she tries working.


This pic made me think that Ryuuji and Aisaka are NOT THAT BAD TOGETHER+AISAKA KAWAIIII with Kitamura in this scene!




EPISODE 4

Boo late introduction! Cool story progress!

To the person above me: YES KITAMURA DOES CONFESS TO TAKASU ABOUT LOVING AISAKA! The problem is I think, that he was rejected even though ALL WAS MISUNDERSTANDING OF FEELINGS. That is natural IN JAPAN with all the relationships going on and other things MANY HAVE OTHER THINGS ON THEIR MIND OR IN THEIR LIFE!

Oh man AISAKA IS JEALOUS OF the President ! I finally get the title of TORADORA! A ring of bulls and everyone chasing each other until all collides! I am sure it's one idealization!

Aisaka being clumsy is THE REASON why the picture developed FUZZY but Ryuuji will help with that! Of course!

Kushieda was being playful in her picture of pudding SPEAKING OF WHICH MUST PUDDING PARODY! Second instance I heard of pudding this anime season!

Aisaka and Ryuuji WERE SOOOOOO LOL during their lunch with Kushieda and Kitamura! That was wayyyyyy too LOL! Once again and the other two completely ignored it! Well maybe Kitamura said something but they did not pay attention much.

This is the first I seen Ryuuji feed Aisaka in school! It was really nice!

Ryuuji was ridiculous also LOL during his school bathroom cleaning but HE REMINDED OF A COWBOY BANDIT! XD

I did get much about Aisaka telling about her past confession from Kitamura surprised Ryuuji with a sigh! Once again this was A SORT OF CONFESSION! It was done but did not work out due to fear mixed with hesitation........Kitamura TIME TO GIVE A SECOND SHOT!

We know Ami now has some sort of important role in the student council!

ONE MORE THING! OHHA! OHHA! OHHA!

HIGHLIGHTS!

A LOVE THE MOE OF AISAKA IN THIS EPISODE. NEVER CAN ONE GET ENOUGH OF HER MOE!


President of the Student council IS STUPID------>which leads to Ryuuji helping her------>that leads to Aisaka being PISSED OFF!-------->in the end Kitamura helping her WAS JUST MOE! They really look good LIKE THAT!



MORE MOE OF AISAKA!+The whole scene of the lunch together was LOL!


Ryuuji feeding Aisaka IS NIIICE!+Ryuuji cleaning the bathroom also made LOL!


Sudoh Bucks=STAR BUCKS!+Aisaka drooling on photos....that was *_*+ Is it JUST ME or AISAKA'S HANDS ARE REALLY WELL DONE! I really like the way her hands are...maybe I have a hand fetish of women...O_O OMG NO!



PUDDING PARODY!+Kushieda playing with pudding..BEST PART WAS RYUUJI TOOK THAT PHOTO WITH HIM!!!



EPISODE 5

SUBS ARE out! Ami is GOING TO BE HATED by me! Good thing Taiga teaches her a lesson! HA! Too bad for her!

OK I HATE AMI! HATE! HATE! HATE!

My impression of AMI:
SLUT!
BI***!
MANIPULATIVE
ARROGANT AND SNORTY!
LYING
THINKS SHE IS BETTER CAUSE OF HER MODELING JOB!

Ok, I got that off my chest! I CURSE YOU AMI! I hope Taiga KICKS YOUR ASS SO BAD THAT YOU CAN NEVER MODEL AGAIN!

THE HAPPIEST MOMENT---------->AISAKA SLAPPING AMI! I JUMPED OUT OF SEAT AND SAI YES! PUNCH HER MORE AISAKA! KICK HER AISAKA!

Kushieda was LOL with her radar. However I DON'T AGREE WITH HER ABOUT AMI! True beauty comes from inside AND AMI'S INSIDE ARE ROTTEN! I met girls like her in real life! Most of them got screwed over by the guy or though as BI***** in school (personal experiences).

SORRY PEOPLE but I also think THAT SHE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK when she goes to school. I though IN JAPAN YOU CANNOT WORK WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL???? So why she still into it?

CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT EPISODE WHEN AMI get more abused BY AISAKA! ON TOP OF THAT SHE MADE AISAKA CRY! >:( I AM REALLY MAD FOR THAT! NO ONE MAKES AISAKA CRY! NO ONE!

I AM GOING OFFICIALLY ON AISAKA SIDE TO go against AMI KAWASHIMA! Yes! Ami must be abused by AISAKA UNTIL SHE THROWS THAT BITCHY ATTITUDE!

ANYWAYS I WAS ALWAYS with Ryuuji and Aisaka! The fact that Ami tried to manipulate Ryuuji........UNFORGIVABLE!

HIGHLIGHTS:

Ryuuji's mom was KAWAII in this episode!


THAT WAS LOL part with Ryuuji when Aisaka throws at him so ice cream...I think vanilla!+YOU HEARD ABOUT THE MYTH...girls who have read nail polish on feet are BITCHY and Slutty........READ THAT IN MAXIM! Probably a reference to that myth.


I CHEERED AND ENJOYED EVERY SECOND OF THIS PART! THE SLAP MADE MY DAY!



I LOVE AISAKA BEING PISSED OFF AT AMI!+AISAKA BEING MOE! MOE!


I KNOW AMI DID THIS SO NEXT EPISODE PAY BACK TIME+What's up with being nice to Ryuuji THEN PUTTING A SLUTTY SMILE!


This part with Kushieda WAS THE MOST LOL WITH HER THIS EPISODE especially the serious face!+The radar is A NICE IDEA!


THIS MOST LIKELY the SECOND BEST part with Kushieda in this EPISODE!


WILL UPDATE WHEN SUBS COME OUT!


I think you take anime a little too seriously.
