I wasn’t planning on blogging anything today because I have an exam to study for, but Touka Gettan deserves a mention. It’s a well-animated show that had some great music, but the plot made little to no sense. My friend wrote up some thoughts on his own site that close closely reflect how I feel about the show, so give it a look if you’re remotely interested.
El Cazador also aired today, and while the first episode wasn’t bad (Kajiura Yuki music and the FictionJunction Yuuka ED were great), I don’t think it’s something that I’d continue watching.
Tomorrow, however, is going to be a very busy day.
Omni, did you check out Heroic Age at all since there was no mention of it?
In other news, Touka Getten made my brain hurt, seriously. My current theories of whats happening so far:
1. Switches back and forth between past and present
2. Totally random dream sequences
3. Alternate/parallel universes
4. It’s all a stupid story written up by the crazy blond chick
5. Everyone’s a zombie (my personal favorite)
As to why I made a list of this, I have no idea -_-;;;; I just spent most of the episode yelling “WTH IS GOING ON??!” 30 minutes of my life gone forever T_T…oh well, at least the opening and ending songs were nice…
Oh, and good luck with your studies 😀
rawr!! Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Marathon… then Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A Marathon…
I checked out your friend’s site for Touka Gettan omni…
“everyone loves a penis surprise” LOL!!!
ITS A TRAP!!!!
anyways… glad i’m not the only one who had no idea what da hell was going on
just gonna watch a few more eps to see if its any good… ^^
I’m glad that I wasn’t the only one who Touka Gettan confused the hell out of. The only thing that really caught my attention was the hot dog eating scene at the end of the episode, then it got confusing again.
@GStike
omg i was just about to do the same thing. lol my only problem is that somehow i got stuck on zoids chaotic century and we all know how long that is. i have decided never to stop in the middle of a series again cause the chain reaction caused by it would be endless (150+ animes! actually i got more but shit i had to stop counting).
@GStrike and Genesis: GoGoGo! im currently rewatching Nanoha A’s 😀
I also read Omni’s friend’s entry… and I am a bit confused myself… o.O
Androgynous characters = win
lol, it must have been april’s fool from Japan. XD
They screwed up and really aired the last episode!
If you guys seen the hentai series, Moonlight Lady, this is nothing new! 😆
well..let just say that alot of anime that based on eroge ..is this kind of story …
with clueless plotline =.=;;
Yes I knew this quite a while. I have only seen the preview and the opeing so I do not really know much about it. I have also have not seen the Moonlight Lady too.
Haha I totally agree!
I watched it too and although it was pretty
NOTHING MADE SENSE!
I sat there goin “WTF IS GOIN ON HERE!@?”
Many great animes make no sense at first. *coughHaruhicough*
I rest my case.
😀
Omni, you should definetely check out Heroic Age, if you haven’t. I think it’s worth be atleast watched, if not blogged. 🙂
XD I like Touka Getten and i don’t know why o . o
Probably because i , myself make no sense as well X33 hahaha
But definitely with great musics
I am confused too, is Touka a guy? a girl? or controversial? If the purpose of this show was to get my full attention… It did!
Isn’t Touka the one with the long hair? That has to be a female.
Touka is a guy. However since he looks like a female, he dresses as a female in his house.
Then what’s the girl’s name?
are traps the new trend of this millenimum. how can ‘that’ be a guy? ‘she’ is too beautiful to be a guy… v_v
the guy in moonlight lady looks waaaay better (at least he doesn’t look like a pretty boy) …. its still hard to see the connection between the two.
I hated haruhi from beggining to end just because it didnt make any sense. Never saw what everyone else did in it lol. Anyway that guys blog on the first episode had me in tears “because even native Japanese who played the game haven’t a ****ing clue. ” Classic rofl.
Well I have just watch episode 1 and none of it made sense to me because I can hardly speak japanese. However the animations look really really good and we just may see omni blogging this.
are traps the new trend of this millenimum. how can ‘that’ be a guy? ’she’ is too beautiful to be a guy… v_v
Let’s put it another way: would you rather see an fugly male dressed in a white one piece clothing? 😛
Let’s all appreciate the pleasant traps that we have, people.
Then what’s the girl’s name?
I don’t know what ‘girl’ you are talking about, but Touka has blue, short hair. Touka’s pic shown above is with a wig, I think. The other blue haired girl is Momoka. For your reference, here’s the ‘guy’ pic of Touka from the game:

You know, thinking about it more I bet you this is a plot by the creators to generate fan interest. ‘Cause you know people will stand tune for a few episodes in the small hope the series will make sense.
Genius I tells ya 😛
Yeah, I was talking about the main girl protagonist. If it’s similar to Moonlight Lady, there is a main heterosexual sexual couple that will go through some REALLY trippy ceremony that’ll forge their relationship.
@moyism
Actually, I never thought about it that way. Kind of a double edged sword though. It can only make so much sense for it to be effective and can only make so little sense to actually generate any interest. I must remember this strategy though.
The light looks like a repeat from YamiBou though, although brighter and visible from outside the house.
This anime is nice and has good music….but it seems u have to play the h-game to understand what is happening…this anime is based on a h-game right?
woops my bad its kind of related to Kao no nai Tsuki OVA which is hentai
…John-sama you got it backwards…Kao no nai Tsuki…IS a h-game…there is just a hentai based on it…that distinction is actually important…by being a h-game first rather than a porn the writers can cut out the H-parts…they can’t do that if it is a porn first…
I havent seen this show yet
? is the sign going around my head when i watch this ? anime =X Get some life! Heroic Age Owns this!
dunno where else to post this but…
after watching the second episode, im thinking it’s pulling a haruhi and playing the whole series in reverse. the storyline itself probly has time shifts and the backwards storytelling makes it even more confusing. certain parts in the second eps seem to link to the first, such as the sword and the cellphone. its just a guess for now, further episodes should shed some light.
Many great animes make no sense at first. *coughHaruhicough*
I rest my case.
he have sex with his own mom so tell me if this anime is great…well its not
i rest my case
in the op wasn’t he like in love with momoka
they kissed at the train station
and went on a date
aren;t they a couple
but Touka’s like ewwww no when momoka wawnted to kiss him if they meet again
this is so confusing
omg i didnt know so many ppl watched this!
its not that famous, rlly
but i watched it anywayz
n i thot i was da only one who didnt get a single shit
but i liked da last scene when Touka n Momoka kissed
so i thot it was gonna b okay
but u should’ve seen da 3rd episode
Touka goes into his mama’s bedroom
and..er.. he does that thing with her!!
i got sick all over after watchin that-_-;
so i gave up watchin it now
n by da way Touka’s a guy
but he used 2 b a girl when he was little
n its weird tht he suddenly changed into a guy one day -_-;;
it is best to watch it backwards…and if ya wanna know more you can always go to wikipedia or something…they explain about Touka and everyone else there 🙂
in case noone has pointed this out the anime was aired chronologicaly backwards…the last episode being the first and the firs being the last in the show’s internal timeline
