Woohoo recap! For a whole entire episode! I can’t believe the whole first episode was just recap. I knew there was gonna be reused footage, but still, where’s my director’s cut? I guess I should wait till next week to really see what happens. Looking on ANN, it seems every girl will have a first part of her story aired before moving onto the second part I guess. I better have my Sia ending. And the new OP song is terrible. The original one was a lot better. Looking back, I’m surprised at how ” off ” the animation in Shuffle was. That last episode was pretty bad, but it looks like the whole show had some weird animation. The fanservice was still hawt, though. I’m surprised in all the recap Rin didn’t mention his dating Asa, Kaede’s psychoness, etc. even though he seems to know what their stories are. I guess it’ll be interesting to see where this goes, and I’m such a big Shuffle fan all follow this anways, even if it is mostly the same. Simpler than watching all 24 episodes again. We’ll see where this is going by next episode.

Saigar Update: Group C Round 1

Seems simple.

And thus we continue:

Hiraga Saito has won against L and Maito Gai. Saito may be a harem lead, but you have to admit the man has SKILLZ. And I’m glad L didn’t win. All he did was eat sugar and *SPOILERZ* die! Not in a manly gar way, but by having a heart attack and falling out of a chair! That is not gar!

Tohno SHIKI defeated Matsushiro Ken and Bean Bandit. However, it wasn’t until afterwards that everyone, including me, realized that this was the real Tohno Shiki and not the gar one. Much anguish and rage ensued.

Saitou Hajime proves the flame of hope is still lit, by beating Papillon and the trap Miyanokouji Mizuho. This was a great day for gar.

Akagi Shigeru once again proves his garness by killing Manji and Kuhonbutsu Taishi, with an amazing 275 votes, the second highest next to Garcher.

Batou is victor against Kabuto Kouji and Killy. Nothing really to say here, having never seen Maizinger or read Blame, and watching only a smather of ghost in the shell. I’ve heard Killy is incredibly badass though.

Captain Harlock plunders and rapes his enemies, Roger Smith and Ohta ” Coach ” Kouichiro, with a hundred vote lead on both. Gives hope that old school gar still has a chance. I really need to watch something with him in it someday.

Looking ahead to group D, things don’t look so great for me, having seen only four of the shows listed. Lelouch and Dutch goes against eachother, but between a skinny guy with mind control and the black guy with a shotgun, I’m gonna have to go with the black guy. ShikiGARmaru makes an appearance, along with the joke entry Shinn Asuka. Speaking of joke entries, both Watarase Jun and Nagisa Kaworu face off. Hopefully Nicholas D. Wolfwood can put an end to both. Freddie also shows up. I’ll probably vote for him, because even if I’ve never seen Cromartie High School, I’m a huge Queen fan.

REMEMBER TO VOTE!
