Anime need to be reviewed is Seikon no Qwaser. This anime can be gendered as Extra Ero and Ecchi Sci-Fi Adventures, the uncut version of this anime is not for children under 18 or whatever the legal ages of you, readers of this blogs, live at.
Seikon no Qwaser is an adventure of a boy, Alexander Sasha Hell, with ability to manipulate iron (In Seikon no Qwaser, People who control the ability to control an element is called Qwaser, but it need energy called Soma) to destroy evil organization that trying to find Virgin Mary's Icon, believed to holds great power because the soma produced by Virgin Mary's Icon is the purest Soma. During Sasha's adventures, the organization where Sasha work get information that the Icon is hidden in one of Catholic high school, St. Mihalov, in Japan so, he is sent to Japan to find the Icon and protected from the adepts, believed to be evil organization which want to owns the Icon.
In other hand, Mafuyu Oribe, adopted daughter of the late St. Mihalov's Dean, and Tomo Yamanobe, the daughter of late St. Mihalov's dean, found a boy with white hair fallen in a street so, they decided to bring him home and put him in a room to treat him. When mafuyu and tomo are arguing about what to do with the boy, the boy disappear from his room. Mafuyu then try to search for him, suddenly she is attacked by mysterious Qwaser, who has terrorized the area where they lived. Mafuyu then saved by the boy she tried to find, who is Alexander Sasha Hell. After the incident with Qwaser, Mafuyu figures out that Sasha trying to find who holds the Virgin Mary's Icon and somehow, the late St. Mihalov's Dean already knew about the icon and he hide it so, no one can ever find it.
I cannot tell you much about the anime more than the above summary because it would be too much spoiler. This is probably my worst review yet, but I hope you guys want to watch this anime just from that small description I gave.
The bad news after episodes 7 of Seikon no Qwaser, no subber has subbed this anime title yet. Some subber which I can recommend all anime lovers to use CoalGuys, but they only sub the anime till ep 6 so far. the other constant subber is Chibi-Doki, but I questions their accuracy for the sub because according to me, it is not that accurate.
The other subber which I will try to look at is SubDesu, I have used their sub for a while for anime such as saki and kurogane no linebarrel. I will post my update on SubDesu Sub for Seikon no Qwaser in the future, so stay tuned to this blog.

Card of the day!!
As I have promised one of my blogs follower, Mafty, I will show you one of the anti-honest cards
Doomcaliber Knight
Dark/Lv.4/Fiend/Effect/ATK1900/DEF1800
Effect:
This card cannot be special summoned. When an effect monster's effect is activated you must trubute this card. Negate that effect's activation, and destroy the monster.
Important Ruling:
Doomcaliber knight cannot be activated if mask of restrict is on the field.
Doomcal effect still can be activated even when skill drain is on the field because doomcal is already outside of the field when it's effect activated.
Since doomcal effect can be activated during damage step, it can negate cards such as kuriboh or honest moreover, if doomcal already attack then kuriboh or honest is activated, doomcal still counted as conducting battle phase thus, the monster which doomcal attack still would be destroyed and damage calculation would be counted normally.
Doomcal effect can negate any monster whether in hand, graveyard, or removed. however, doomcal cannot negate monster which has continuous effect such as Jinzo and its already on the field.
Other ruling of doomcal can be found at yugioh wikia. Thanks yugioh wikia, for your complete info on a lot of cards.
Please stay tuned for another cards of the day section. Just for reminder, The picture of this card is copyrighted by Kazuki Takahasi and the card is published by konami. I only scan this card for the sake of personal use so, please don't use this card for commercial or other illegal stuff.

Katanagatari
So far, this is probably the most unique anime I have ever met yet. There is only 1 episodes for each months which can be annoying. Yet, the story line of Katanagari isn't developed quite fast, but each episodes reveal a new conflict and secrets of the 2 main character.
Started with the introduction of a samurai who use a technique that doesn't require sword. The samurai end a rebellion of Japanese general(daimyo), who desired to keep 1 of 12 legendary sword, by killing the daimyo. it is believed that if a person holds over all 12 swords then he/she can rule over the japan easily. The eyewitness of this execution by the unarmed samurai is daughter of the rebelled daimyo.
Several years after the subduing of the rebellion and the new Japanese emperor take over Japan, the emperor order a girl to collect all 12 legendary swords. To accomplish this mission, the girl go to small island where it is believed the samurai who doesn't use sword and have subdued the rebellion lived in that island. To her shock, the samurai died couple of years ago. However, the girls hope to collect all 12 swords doesn't disappear because the samurai has successor. During this time, her enemy closing on her to kill her. Will she able to collect all 12 and how she know about the art of swordsmen which doesn't require swords to kill someone?
In summary, the anime has quite good storyline, but I don't know if it were worth the time of waiting especially until the newest episodes(ep 3) there is no good improvement in the story line. the battle scene also not that promising too. Well I must say, I cannot say I recommend to watch this anime because I don't really see a promising storyline except the curiosity of what secret behind the 12 swords.
Keep in touch for another anime review section.

Card of the day
Today I am going to review the most annoying cards in light deck.
Honest
Light/Lv.4/Fairy/Effect Monster/ATK1100/DEF1900
Effects::
During your main phase, you can return this card from the field to its owner's hand. During either player's damage step, when a face-up light monster you control battles, you can send this card from your hand to the graveyard to have that monster gain ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until end phase.
Rulings:
Honest's effect is treated as quick effect.
Honest's effect doesn't target.
Sending Honest to graveyard is a cost so, it cannot be omitted.
The ATK boost gained by Honest's effect would not change until endphase.
Light/Lv.4/Fairy/Effect Monster/ATK1100/DEF1900
Effects::

During either player's damage step, when a face-up light monster you control battles, you can send this card from your hand to the graveyard to have that monster gain ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until end phase.
Rulings:
Honest's effect is treated as quick effect.
Honest's effect doesn't target.
Sending Honest to graveyard is a cost so, it cannot be omitted.
The opponent's monster ATK boost using Honest's effect is the same as ATK when Honest's effect resolves.
The ATK boost gained by Honest's effect would not change until endphase.
If opponent activate card to increase/decrease ATK of a monster after Honest's effect is activated, by ruling of chain effect, the card which has effect to increase/decrease ATK of a monster would resolves first then
Honest would resolves last. Thus, Honest effect will gain the current ATK of opponent's monster(if a card that increase monster ATK such as Kalut, Honest would still gain the total ATK of monster+kalut's effect) even if the ATK of your own monster would be decreased(Card such as shrink would only effect the original
ATK of the monster applied by Honest)
ATK boost gained by Honest effect are cumulative.

Gundam UC OVA part 1 Day of The Unicorn
The Long waited and must-see anime for gundam mania, Gundam UC. Among all Bandai's release for this year, this might be their most successful release yet. I realized that this OVA has been released a while ago, but for those non-gundam mania, I will try to review this with non-bias point of view.
The end of Common Era which also serves as the beginning of Universal Centuries, marked with terrorism attack on Prime Minister Laplace's spaceships. Apparently, one of the terrorist is the founder of Vist family and Vist Organization. Vist Organization holds power in Anaheim Electronic, A Mecha-production factory(All of you non-gundam mania can assume it as a weapon factory) who had sells its products to Earth Federation and Zeon (both of them had been in war for quite long time). Apparently the reason why they have such power over both faction because of an item called Laplace's Box, believes to be able to end the never ending war between Earth Federation and Zeon.
The main character, Banagher Link is a student over Anaheim Factory who lives alone since his mother died and doesn't know his father, felt presence that a girl, Audrey Burns the pro-antagonist in this OVA, is in trouble.After he helped helped her escaped from life and death situation, Audrey told Banagher about a war which about to happen and she can stop this war by meeting the current head of Vist family thus, Banagher offer his help to get Audrey to Vist's Mansion. When both of them got to Vist Family's Mansion, Banagher got a feeling that he had been there before.
Why is Banagher knows the Vist Mansion before? Who is Audrey? What is inside of the Laplace Box? To answer them, you guys need to watch all the Gundam UC OVA.
Overall, this anime seems to have a promising complex story because the 1of 6 OVA started by a lot of mysteries which might be solved at the end of the long OVA. To be honest, in order to watch the Gundam UC all of you non-gundam fans might need to learn all the Universal Century gundam story because the main story of the Gundam UC is about how Anaheim Electronic fall. To learn this, just try to wiki gundam universal centuries and learn their time line. All of you, readers of this blog, need to pay attention why suddenly the manufacture of gundam and some of the mecha in Earth Federation shifted from Anaheim Electronic to SNRI(Strategic Naval Research Institute).
I hope all of you watch this mecha genre animation. I hope all of my blogs reader like my review.
See you all

Gundam 00 Specials
Today I will give review about this gundam 00 specials. For those who wonders what is this specials all about, I just need 1 word to explain it, RECAP!! I don't know what is in Bandai and Sunrise minds when they decided to create these 3 parts of specials. Lets cut to the chase shall we?
Specials Part I
Basically its a recap of all 25 episodes of Gundam 00 Season 1, they added some 30 seconds scene in some scene to makes thing clearer. The only things that added the specials is where the narrator, Reborn Almark, explain what in his thought at some scene(Ex. When Alejandro shoot Aeolia). I cannot gives you the recap about this specials because basically its already a recap.
Special part II
This is a recap of half of Gundam 00 Season 2, the specials ended with the destruction of the 1st Memento Mori. Like the 1st part of the 00 specials, there are added scene which helps to make things clearer and the thought of reborn almark over several scene, other than that specials it is just a recap. However, too bad they ended in just the destruction of the memento mori, it doesn't cover how celestial being ended up on earth.
Special part III
The last part of the 00 specials, also only a recap of the last half of 00 2nd season. To be honest with you all anime lovers, I am disappointed with the specials part III. Why?
First, we need to wait for it to be release which is 3 months after the 2 specials released.
Second, it's a recap.
Third, this is what made me upset the most, it look like made in a hustle and it is so bad!!! the way they put stephanie's songs, Friends, in a battle when setsuna+saji vs. Louis and when tieria ambush reborn. Then put songs which has effect to increase excitement and battle in a scene where sumeragi asking for forgiveness from billy. then put sad songs when all people in celestial being has a moral boost and louis recovers from being death.
Fourth, cutting battle scene between celestial being and innovado especially the battle scene between reborn gundam and 00 raiser, gundam vs gundam battles, which this series are lack of. The way they cut it off is worse than ever, suddenly 00 lose his legs or suddenly 00 lose its head.
This is the worst possible specials bandai ever made yet.
Overall, I would not recommend you, anime lovers, especially those who lives in a country with low bandwidth to download this specials specifically the part III. Since it is not worth the trouble and time!!! Sorry for being harsh and showing too much of emotion in my reviews, but watching this specials pissed me off.
I hope all anime lovers stick for another anime review from me.
