Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon - Episodes 4 & 5 - An amazingly interesting story as this anime progresses and moves forward bringing many new things to the front and still not entirely focusing on any one thing or clearing up the main focus of the anime but definitely and enjoyable watch for both the seriousness of the combat and the wonderfully funny interactions between many of the main characters on a regular basis.

Mirai Nikki - Episodes 3 & 4 - Wonderful story as the personalities of the characters are brought even more to the forefront and the amazingly interesting actions driving them all towards their final goal lieing and cheating to bring themselves forward as things aren't entirely revealed bits of their true personalities slipping out one by one as the story progress and we wait on the edge of our seats thrilled by the behavior of those in this anime.

Chihayafuru - Episodes 4 & 5 - Chihaya move farther up as she works hard to play better and better at this game she fell in love with as a child after playing it with her friends.

Guilty Crown - Episodes 3 & 4 - One of the most amazing anime of the season thrilling those of us watching with every episode and showing the true face of humanity as the powers around the main character twist and turn forcing him this way and that and trying to controlled the weak willed young man as he fights to find strength in this world and fight for the girl he believes in.

Bleach - Episode 346 - Much of the reasoning behind this new group of people is revealed as we take a look at their powers and why their goals are what they are and what they seek from Ichigo as he goes and meets with this new group an amazing surprise greeting him as he speaks with them.

Lots of ecchi to be had once again as the creators put a lot of fan service into this anime. Definitely good for those enjoying both martial arts and those that like some ecchi fan service. I would recommend this anime to those who enjoy such things as I do.

Week 3

Kyoukai Senjou No Horizon - Episode 3 - Another good episode as we steadily learn more and more about the main characters of this story and the painful pasts belonging to some of them. As always though as we have seen so far in this anime there are quiet a few funny scenes and good times to be had. Definitely going to keep watching this as it moves forward and the story expands.

Mirai Nikki - Episode 2 - Once again a very good episode as the story develops and makes the story more and more interesting as the main character learns about himself and develops steadily from there. A lot more violence and carnage in this episode as people are twisted and used by the players in this murderous game of fate and survival.

Chihayafuru - Episode 3 - A fun and interesting episode once again as it continues to follow the flash back pattern set in the previous episodes detailing the ever growing interests of the main characters in the game they play together and then the troubles that come along that take them apart but still full of comedy and fun as they do their best at what they enjoy and love.

Bleach - New Arc - As the new arc of bleach starts with episodes 343 and 344 it seems like this will be another fun arc and I know some of us are very glad to see that last filler arc end although overall I think the previous arc was interesting I can't wait to see where this arc of Bleach goes and how they handle the loss of Kurosaki's powers.

World of Warcraft

I have been a long time player of World of Warcraft and I think that many of the players that have been playing a long time are looking elsewhere for games now as Blizzard tries to find a middle ground between their long time hardcore fanbase and their newer casual gamer base which isn't willing to put as much time in as the hardcore players but still want to get the same things as them. Still overall World of Warcraft is a fun and enjoyable game and definitely worth playing for those that enjoy working together to topple bosses and have a good time with their friends, whether they have fun doing raids or killing other players or even achievement hunting, WoW offers many ways to spend your time.



DIABLO 3

Diablo III the long awaited sequel for Diablo II is planned to be released next year in 2012 and I know I for one am gonna be standing in line at midnight waiting to buy my copy if I haven't already pre-ordered it. After seeing much of the information for this game it appears that some people might not be happy. It is definitely much more like other MMOs with your average hotkeys on your main keyboard versus the old style of binding them to your F# keys. But I think the new classes and game styles will bring in a lot more players and widen the player base but no matter what happens I know that I as well many others are dying to get our hands this game.

Diablo 2 LOD

Diablo II LoD even as an aging game is still a great play for many and has a nice player base even now. I personally find it to be one of the most fun game to play even to this day. One of the many things you can do with Dibalo II now if you are bored of it and find it to easy is to go look for one of the many mods offered that increase the difficulty of the game even more as well as changing many other things including how classes are played monsters in the game and much much more. If you have an old copy around and just don't play because it got to easy I definitely think looking into one of these mods is a good idea as it could bring back a spark of love for that game many of us spent so long playing and enjoying long past its prime.
