I gave up believing in any chances of the random hired assassin of the week ever making it to town after noticing his hidden cluelessness as to where he was. Though the joke became midly apparent after the snake scene, it was still excellent and I had an enjoyable laugh over it. Vision guy/Washizu’s misintepretation of [...]

[ Episode 3: Amazing If You Take It Off! ] The samurai gets comfy and two more girls are already added to his harem. Jokes aside, it was a decent episode, but didn’t really hit the mark. Not like I’m expecting it to this early on… So finally the unknown characters in the OP are introduced. Firstly, [...]

Another very late episodic, but whatever. Doing one of these can be really draining. Anyway here is Asu no Yoichi! 05. Summary As Ibuki and Yoichi leave school one day, Yoichi is approached by a girl called Hinagata who hands him a letter that actually holds her confession. All the males are jealous over Yoichi’s good luck, [...]

[ Episode 2: Welcome to Yokko ] Sooner or later you’d expect Yoichi to be taken to school, despite of it being done reluctantly by Ayame and Ibuki. His first day at the dojo and he already broke a window thanks to Ibuki’s help. Gotta admit, the haiku was hilarious. I had a funny feeling that [...]

Yoichi is admired by a group of girls? What a surprise, he is even invited to a date. But that was later revealed to be a half-assed plot to assassinate him. Setting the assassination aside, the girl initially bought me over with her act. She appeared to be a shy girl who has taken a [...]

Asu no Yoichi's ED theme song is called Life and Proud by Aki Misato. You might remember Aki Misato from the Strawberry Panic! OP, the Mai-Hime ED or more recently the Blassreiter ED!The download links are posted in the "Anime Music Downloads" of my forums here. So please register here to download the full Asu no Yoichi ED Single if you haven't already joined the forums!Tracklist:1. Life and proud2. Nami no Kaidan3. Life and proud (off vocal)4. Nami no Kaidan (off vocal)5.5/10 Life and Proud(what the hell does that even mean??) is a cute ballad. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's good enough... Aki has a cute voice, and the melody of the song is ok. However, it's the kind of song that I get quickly tired of after a few listens...Listen to the whole song here:<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fbxCv9EP2FY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fbxCv9EP2FY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>

I’m still watching this anime weekly and I’m still liking it I know there’s like awful fanservice but there’s like way too much romance in this show for me to pass it by!! Also all those “vision” scenes are hillarious. How that budouka girl (who now makes ramen for a living) was [...]

Yes I know, this is a late episodic. In truth the past few days I have been uninspired to even bother doing anything productive, so yeah. I watched this a few days ago though, and yeah, most of the time I have been either playing Sacred or watching anime or sleeping. My sleeping habits this [...]

Asu no Yoichi is a new anime based on a manga by the same name. Here's a short plot summary: A boy swordsman, Yoichi and his father stays in mountain training for his descent from the mountain. Yoichi comes to the city to lodge and stay with 4 beautiful sisters. A new more severe "training" regiment awaits him. (source) The OP theme song is called Egao no Riyuu and is sung by meg rock. Meg rock already has done quite a few anime songs. Her songs have been included in Card Captor Sakura (as GUMI), UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, Stratos 4, Peach Girl, Solty Rei...The download links are posted in the "Anime Music Downloads" of my forums here. So please register here to download the full Asu no Yoichi OP Single if you haven't already joined the forums!Tracklist:1. Egao no Riyuu2. Kassouro3. Egao no Riyuu welcome-aboard-mix4. Kassouro welcome-aboard-mix5.5/10 I can't say I'm really impressed with meg rock's song. I'm glad to hear some J-Rock for a change, after all the J-Pop crap I've been reviewing lately. But I don't feel like her voice suits J-Rock. She totally sings like a J-Pop chick and lacks pure rocky energy... The melody in itself isn't that bad, and the electric guitars sound really nice!Check out the OP:<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nVwLqEHbnaw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D22"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nVwLqEHbnaw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D22" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object>

Yoichi gets beaten up again for being a pervert several times in the episode, first for ripping Ibuki’s clothes, second for raping Chihaya, third for touching Ibuki. What comes to mind would be what Yoichi thinks of the “punishment” he receives. Not too surprisingly, he takes it as repentance to the Ikaruga house. <!–more (Continue Reading…)–> His [...]

The Paradoxical Loli with Breasts! I wasn’t really completely sold on Asu no Yoichi! even thought it has some powerhouse seiyuu like Tamura Yukari, Satou Rina, Hanazawa Kana, and current favorite Tomatsu Haruka. But come episode 03 and Tsubame Tsubasa {pic above}, and I’m COMPLETELY sold on Asu no Yoichi! ^_^ Makino Yui is not really known [...]

Angela Takatsukasa makes it to the city with Tsubasa Tsubame, with the goal of defeating Yoichi for a cash reward. Tsubasa has a different plan, however. She enjoys leading a “normal girl’s life” and intends not to defeat Yoichi in order to stay in town indefinitely. It turns out everyone lived in their own world in [...]

So, in a surprising turn of events, Asu no Yoichi! won the vote count in my previous poll 0n what anime you would like to see episodics for, instead of Rideback, which initially had quite the upper hand. With that, I will now continue blogging on Asu no Yoichi, creating a new category for its [...]

So no picture, since I'm without my laptop at the moment - I know, itseems like I'm violating a cardinal rule of anime blogging to writeabout something without a screencap, but here goes anyway...Asu no Yoichi is one of those series that I check out each seasonwithout really having any expectations for it, and so far it's seemedkind of average, delivering what looks like a typical

Here’s the weekly roundup post–instead of blogging regularly about a single show or two, I’ve decided to follow this season’s shows in this way. This week, I talk about Akikan, Asu no Yoichi, Toradora, and a first look at Regios. Akikan 2 I think the best thing about this show is the government official who seems to [...]

Bringing you more tits and action, here is this week’s Tits & Ass no Yoichi! It’s really obvious by now that if there’s gonna be any shipping in the anime at least, it’s gonna be these 2. I mean the other characters serve their role of lolis, fanservice and tsundereness, but anything important is obviously [...]

Asu no Yoichi was on my list of shows to watch but I didn’t really have high hopes for it because it looked liked it was a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy show with a heaping helping of fan service thrown in. But after Akikan, I was just hoping to see something at least passable. So did [...]

I have to say that I didn’t know a lot going into this series, but it ended up much MUCH less stupid then I anticipated it. I thought it would be pure stupid ecchi comedy but it ended up having a lot of promise for more then that. There are charming characters, there aren’t actually [...]
