Friday, 9 March 2007 - March Holidays!!! WoOoOoO!! JUST KIDDING -.-" :

the day went smoothly. in fact, VERY smooth, especially without CCA =D. hahahaha! today is the parent-teacher meet for the lower secondary, so the hall will be used. well, even if there is training, I think the new coach won't come again because he COULD NOT FIND OUR SCHOOL. oh well, who cares. I'm just glad CCA is cancelled =).

ok I've read the sendspace FAQ yesterday, and realised something. they will NOT keep files on their servers if they had not been even downloaded once in a week. therefore, most of my previous files have been deleted =(. I will not be uploading them again, so if you want any of them just state it in the tagbox and I will upload it again specially for you. since I'm on this topic, I would also like to take this time to remind you guys that if you want me to upload anything, please tell me by either the tagbox (easy and fast), or through comments. I will try my best to find it if it is not on my computer and upload it for you. there is a restriction though.. because sendspace only allows 300MB per upload and a total of 1GB (I think) per day. with that in mind, I think the most I can upload are anime episodes.

I don't think I will be reviewing all the animes today, because I have to get my sleep for tomorrow's Heart Walk. have to be in school by 7am... oh my god... thats like a normal school day lah. anyways, I'm waking up early again on Sunday because I will be going to James' and Peiqi's church =P. can't say for sure I'll enjoy it or anything, but I'm still looking forward to it =). oh well.. I'm gonna try and review and post as many things as I can today, then continue tomorrow.

============================================

[Bleach Ep 118]

Bleach ep 118 (torrent link)
(Dattebayo fansub)(XviD)

well my prediction was correct! today's episode will be mainly on the fight between Ikkaku and the Hollow-spectacled guy. although the episode is focused on this fight, there was a 'preview' with Ichigo's fight with Grimmjow, as the last episode showed Grimmjow confronting Ichigo and Rukia. a few other things were also shown in this episode, like Ikkaku's fighting style, the power of his Zanpakutou, and the names of the other Arrancars. there weren't any comedy in this episode, at least I could not remember any.

it started off from where the show left off in the last episode, which is the fight between Ikkaku and Edorad (Hollow-spectacled guy, and Arrancar no.13). there were a series of fights, and then Ikkaku managed to make Edorad release his Zanpakutou's powers.

ok, the Arrancar's Zanpakutou's powers were explained in this episode. unlike the Shinigamis, the Arrancar's Zanpakutou's power is a little different. the Zanpakutou of the Arrancar is the very core of their power, sealed into the form of a sword. they reach their full power and take on their true forms when they 'release' their swords. an obvious example is Edorad. his Zanpakutou, Volcanica (Beast of the Volcano), is his power, and he takes the form of a... weird thing... with big arms O.o. I will put a screenshot of this at the bottom later on.

in the middle of Ikkaku's fight, there was somewhat like an introduction to Ichigo's fight with Grimmjow. he asked which one of them (Ichigo or Rukia) is the strongest one, but they were too shocked by his level of reiatsu to reply his question. in the end, Grimmjow used the 'trial and error' method to decide who is stronger, and that is to attack. he attacked Rukia, punching her right in the stomach. Rukia was immediately knocked out. this little scene ended with Ichigo running towards Grimmjow, so I guess there will be a continuation to this in the next episode.

well for the rest of the fight, Ikkaku literally got smoked by Edorad with his fire attacks. it is a little uncertain, but Ikkaku may die in the next episode, where he will finish off his fight. this is because during the fight, Yumichika contacted some person in Soul Society to report on the matter regarding Arrancars, and mentioned something about preparing Ikkaku's military funeral. well, once again I can't say for sure that Ikkaku will die, but there is a high chance, so be either surprised or sad in the next episode! at the end of the episode, when Ikkaku's clothes were already burnt, he managed to perform Bankai.

Ikkaku's Bankai (Ryuumon Houzukimaru - Dragon's Crest, Demon Light) is rather bulky in my opinion. I cannot imagine carrying that big thing in a battle O.o. well anyways, I can't really describe it, but it looks like some Chinese weapon and the part of the weapon which is above his head, has a dragon shape carved onto it. this dragon is definitely not there for show. Ikkaku's powers will be generated through spinning the weapon, and then the dragon will slowly light up to show the level of power being generated. when the dragon is completely lit up (in red), Ikkaku will release his Zanpakutou's true powers. how Ikkaku will fight afterwards was not shown because it will be revealed in the next episode.

Ikkaku was initially using his left hand to attack and right hand to block...

My rating for this episode: 4/5
