[[ Tactics episodes 23 - 25 (END) ]]

Fansubbed by: Anime Yuki
Available @: Baka-Updates
Official website: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/tactics/
Total episodes: 25

It has been three days since Haruka disappeared. Kantarou misses Haruka, but there is nothing he can do. Then Hasumi and Rosalie appeared at his place and told him they saw Haruka. Kantarou rushed to the place where Hasumi claimed to have seen Haruka. He saw Haruka and followed him to an abandoned temple in the forest, where he discovers that it was all part of a trap that Raikou set up to lure him. Raikou did this, because he wanted to force Kantarou to nullify his contract with Haruka. Apparently that’s the only way to give back Haruka his true powers. Kantarou refused to nullify the contract, but then Raikou captured Youko-chan and threatened to send her to the land of the dead spirits. Meanwhile Suzu managed to find Haruka at the place where Kantarou awakened him. Suzu tried to persuade Haruka to go home with her, but Haruka refused and gave back Suzu the bottle she gave to him. The bottle suddenly lit up and showed the situation Kantarou and Youko-chan were in (Rosalie used her powers to show Haruka and Suzu this). Sugino and Muu-chan appeared as well. Muu-chan saw that Kantarou and Youko-chan were in trouble and jumped into the image which transported her to Rosalie. Rosalie teamed up with Muu-chan and managed to save Youko-chan. Hearing Kantarou and Raikou talk about the contract and such caused Haruka to lose his senses again. Sugino tried to stop him, but was no match for Haruka. Meanwhile Raikou tried a different method to persuade Kantarou, because he knew Kantarou won’t give in to his threats.
'Dirty' Youko-chan? ^^

He separated Kantarou from Youko-chan and Rosalie and tried to make Kantarou feel guilty and eventually agree to nullify the contract. Raikou would have succeeded if Haruka didn’t show up in time. Haruka started to attack Kantarou. Raikou protected Kantarou, because the contract will last forever if Kantarou died. While Raikou and Haruka fought, Watanabe threatened to kill Youko-chan and Rosalie if Kantarou didn’t nullify the contract. Kantarou agreed on one condition; Watanabe must let Youko-chan, Rosalie and Muu-chan escape first. After Youko-chan and Rosalie escaped; Kantarou walked towards Haruka and told him why he awakened him. Apparently ever since Kantarou was little Haruka has always been his aspiration. Kantarou thought that if he can meet someone strong like Haruka, he would be able to change. After he lived together with Haruka, he understands that aspirations are aspirations and dreams are only dreams, because he hasn’t changed => he didn’t become strong. Kantarou told Haruka he can’t do it, he can’t nullify the contract. That’s because Haruka isn’t his aspiration anymore, he has become his most important existence. Kantarou gave Haruka permission to do as he pleases. He can kill him if that’s what he wanted. Haruka was about to kill Kantarou, but then a mysterious light appeared from above and made Haruka regain his senses. The light came from Suzu who was praying. After Haruka returned back to his normal self, he started to fight with Raikou and was able to wound him. Raikou realised now isn’t the time to defeat Haruka, so he retreated with Watanabe and Ibaragi. Kantarou thought everything has ended and wanted to go home with Haruka, but Haruka refused and left for the second time.
.......but Muu-chan can!

Good bishie vs. bad bishie! Go bishies!!

Six months later, Suzu’s father came to Kantarou’s house to ask him for help. A strange phenomenon had appeared at his house and scared most of his servants. The strange phenomenon was Suzu’s spirit. She passed away on the day Kantarou fought with Raikou and his faction. Ever since Suzu was born, her body has always been weak. On the day she died, she caught a mild cold and never woke up again. Suzu turned into a spirit, because she had a lingering attachment. She kept appearing in front of Kantarou and the others, because she wanted Kantarou and Haruka to become friends again. After Haruka found out about Suzu’s death, he went to her house. Suzu appeared in front of him and asked him if he was still regretting about the fact that he should not have been awakened. At the same time Kantarou, Youko-chan and Rosalie appeared at Suzu’s house as well. Kantarou felt Haruka’s presence and rushed to Suzu’s room. Haruka already left, but Kantarou knew where to find him. Kantarou went to the place where he awakened Haruka and found him there. Haruka started to talk to Kantarou and told him he tried to kill him, because Kantarou reminded him of the person who sealed him. He is certain that Kantarou is somehow related to that person. Kantarou admitted that that person was indeed someone of the Ichinomiya lineage. He knew this all along, but he still wanted to meet Haruka. Haruka replied that up until now, he always thought he would never open his heart to any human. He realised this was a mistake. He will stop thinking about it and live as his heart tells him to. From now on he will carve the time he spent with humans into his heart. When Haruka regains all the memories he had lost, he might kill Kantarou. If Kantarou can accept that, Haruka will return to his side. Kantarou gave Haruka his answer by nodding his head. Then Suzu appeared again and told them she was glad they have made up. She gave the bottle back to Haruka and thanked everyone. She told them she was really happy to have met them all.
After a while things returned back to normal at the Ichinomiya residence.
She looks pretty good, for a dead person.

She looks pretty good, for a dead person.

Beautiful artwork - I like Sakura petals!

My first thought after watching these episodes: “Huh?”
Second thought: *extremely confused*
Third thought: “This can’t be the end!”

After watching the end of Tactics there were a lot of questions left unanswered:
- What happened to the evil spirit in Muu-chan’s body?
- Raikou and his faction clearly haven’t given up on Haruka yet, so there is no closure.
- Why did Suzu had to die => it was never mentioned that Suzu has a weak body.
- How come Rosalie suddenly has special powers?
- Why did the animators wasted so many episodes on fillers, while they could have used those episodes to answer my questions?

Overall opinion:
Tactics isn’t a bad anime, but it isn’t a great one either. It has too many filler episodes (though I admit that some of them were quite funny) and the artwork was inconsistent. Sometimes it was great (like the last episode), but most of the times it was so-so. No complaints about the music, because I really like the opening and ending theme. If you’re looking for an anime with a good plot and a fast pace in the storyline, I wouldn’t recommend Tactics.

[[ I'm back! ]]

I'm back and I can't tell ya how good it feels! I can finally sleep in my own bed again plus I have an entirely new bathroom, kitchen and toilet all for free ^^! I have been gone for almost a month now, so I have a lot of catching up to do. First I have to download all the anime episodes that have been released in the past month (I haven't been able to download anything the past two weeks), then I have to watch and blog all of them. I won't be able to watch any new series for now. I'll try to clear up my backlog first and after that perhaps I'll pick up some of the new series.
I'll update my download section as soon as possible! Leave me a message in the shoutbox if you want to request something.

[[ Bleach episodes 24 & 25 ]]

Fansubbed by: Lunar Anime
Available @: AnimeSuki
Official website: http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/bleach/
Total episodes: ??

In order to get into Seireitei, Ichigo and the others must learn how to form a cannonball. After practicing a while Orihime, Chad and Ishida have already mastered it. Ichigo however needed more time to do so. While the others left the practice room for dinner, Ganju walked into the room and practiced to form a cannonball. He was actually trying to help Ichigo. After seeing how easily Ganju formed a cannonball, Ichigo practised again and managed to form a cannonball as well. The next day Kuukaku prepared the cannon to blast Ichigo and his gang into Seireitei. Ganju wanted to go with them, because there is something he wants to find out. According to Ganju his brother, who was a very talented Death god, was murdered by another Death god. Instead of being angry with the Death god, Ganju’s brother thanked the Death god just before he died. Ganju feels that if he went with Ichigo to Seireitei he might find something out. Kuukaku gave Ganju her approval to join Ichigo and then used her cannon to launch them. Meanwhile the Death gods in Seireitei have noticed some Drifters are heading their way. They gathered around the walls of Seireitei and were prepared to face the Drifters. After the cannonball, formed by Ichigo and the others, penetrated through the protective shield of Seireitei it dissolved and quickly turned into a whirlwind. The whirlwind separated them into three groups: Ichigo/ Ganju and Yoruichi, Orihime and Ishida, and Chad. The Captain of the thirteenth squad, Ken-chan, was anxious to fight and kill the Drifters.

These two episodes were funny and exciting. The interaction between Ganju and Ichigo still creates hilarious moments. It still amazes that the writers are able to blend in humour in such a serious arc. Can’t wait to see the next episodes. Ichigo’s encounter with “Ken-chan” should be very interesting. Ken-chan’s vice-captain is so kawaii. I can’t believe she is actually a Death god => she looks more like an elementary kid to me.

Art: 80 => the art has improved
Music: 80

Overall: 80

She is adorably naive ^^

had the sudden urge to hit her stupid brother

a cat's tail is very VERY sensitive, especially Yoruichi-san's ^^
