Another week, another QP to release even though we're also fighting the good fight in school. This time, the Strike Witches rule the skies again, two Marvel Anime series come back to haunt us, we run into someone else with a vampire for a boyfriend and we wield our own Keyblades for yet another adventure.
Quick Rundown
Bigheart's Thoughts
For manga, the Alice franchise still sounds interesting while Bizenghast is still intriguing to me after all these years. I hope to read it soon. As for anime, Baccano! and Strike Witches Season One are awesome as all hell to me. They were really fun to watch. I haven't gotten into the Sacred Blacksmith or Hatsukoi Unlimited, but I thought the Blade anime was good. I have a mixed feeling about KH:3D, but the gameplay looks pretty good. There was also an Hentai movie with a rather ridiculous name I had to discuss with Taka. XD
Takashichea's Thoughts
For the new manga releases, I'm interested in the Jack the Ripper, Angel Para Bellum, and Bizenghast due to their premises. Bizenghast is about a girl who is forced by a contract to free ghosts in order to get her freedom. If she fails, she will die and her corpse will remain in the mausoleum. Lately, I haven't read a lot of mystery, supernatural, and horror genre. I just ordered Alice in the Country of Clover: Cheshire Cat Waltz for my little sister, and today, I just bought the Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance for her as well. In the latest anime releases, I am disturbed by the Fifty Shades of Hentai, and I learned it was inspired by a book called Fifty Shades of Gray which is about the same topic, BDSM. I haven't tried any of them, but I'm interested in Baccano! when I read Superevil225's Beginner Guide.
