Naruto
======
"The Cursed Warrior"
- Why has my "switch" sense been tingling since hearing about the
lord becoming a recluse since his opposite-gender identical twin died?
- Maybe the armor is being controlled remotely, like a puppet. I
guess they never heard of anyone doing that! -_^ (However, I think
Kankuro uses chakra strings, which Neji could probably see, but that
doesn't preclude other puppetry techniques.)
"The Tactician's Intent"
- Ten-Ten had better hope that my switch theory given above is
wrong. (Or maybe not if we want to get a new set of fans....)
- Did the warrior ninja teleport out, or did s/he melt him/her-self
with the poison gas?
Blue Dragon ("No Good Deed Goes Unpunished")
===========
- Is Bouquet's uniform cleavage-bearing? Or are the American
adaptors trying to downplay her "talents" (the kind that Marumaro
likes!)?
- Bouquet's has naked-only invisibility. But it still makes
Marumaro's groping senses tingle.
- Unlike many other "people on a quest" shows, Bouquet's boss doesn't
give extra breaks during an employee's shift for misadventures. And
he has a zero-tolerance policy about it.
- Twice the good guys have escaped destruction because enemy leader/
team (the brothers, then Logi) had to go to a _really_ mandatory
meeting with their boss (Logi and Nene, respectively). Ironically,
said meeting included orders to destroy the good guys! Whoops.
Bleach (#62)
======
- cubes of doom!, kewl
- Aizen _really_ likes monologuing. And he mostly gets away with it!
- Doesn't Jidanbo work in one of the rebel captains' squads? And I
don't think he knew at that point that those captains were rebels.
- Squads 11 and 12 are no-shows for the big blow-out (except for
Squad 11's Aramaki).
- Byakuya does care about Rukia after all. And he's her would-have-
been brother-in-law.
- I thought there was a rule against commercials for a show's spin-
off material being shown during the corresponding show. Or does that
only apply during the kiddie hours? (This is referring to the
_Bleach_ TCG cards.)
Death Note ("Impatience")
==========
- Misa is beginning to suspect Light's narcissistic traits.
- Do people have secondary life spans? (referring to the pre-
commerical guideline)
- Are family registrations big in Japan? (referring to the post-
commercial guideline)
- Doesn't N have a photo of Mellow (that he showed it to the FBI)?
Maybe he doesn't want L #2 to connect him, Mellow, and the house
together.
Code Geass: LeLouch of the Rebellion (Stage 2: "The White Knight
Awakens")
====================================
- Is the graffiti behind LeLouch when the episode starts important?
- I should have suspected something when Suzaku's "death" in the
previous episode wasn't as graphic as the others. Also, Suzaku is in
both the royal/military and the student beauty shots in the OP.
- Viletta and Kallen: service service
