I finished watching Asia Circuit Hen (ACH) and thought it's about time to stop watching this series. ACH was practically nothing more than a 30+ episodes prologue, with the last under ten episodes dealing with the actual story. Ok, at least try watching the first episodes of Link Joker Hen (LJH). And I'm so glad I did it!

In LJH, a bunch of new characters gets introduced, like Ishida Naoki, wannabe delinquent and an incredibly cool guy, Shingo, some nerd looking guy and the evil student council. All these new characters breath new life into Cardfight. Persons like Kamui, Nagisa or the Team Handsome ... in general get less more airing time, what is, good since they really started to get boring.
Also noteworthy: Aichi is finally in high school, so the whole plot is actually more mature including some love troubles :D.
However, the real story starts to unfold after about 20 episodes. Bad? No way! The first episodes are really good and in my opinion even better than the rest of the series I've watched so far even although only the new characters get introduced.

So, for all those people who watched the second series and wonder whether or not the continue this, give it a try. You won't be disappointed by this!

Thanks for reading! ^-^

After completing the first series which I enjoyed pretty much I immediately started watching this second one. And it really began good. Great episodes like their stay in Rio or the adventure with Nessie in Loch Ness, Scotland, are what I now simply call "classic".
The problem with this series, though, is, that the episodes don't relate to each other. Ok, just watching one parter again and again can be fun, if you have to watch 155 episodes, though, it can be really annyoing (I'm a Lupin fan ever since I watched some of the 90's films, so dropping was no option for me). ... This was also the reason I put this series on hold after about 40 episodes.

Well, I continued watching it of course, moreover, I stumbled across some nice to great episodes. One of them I'd like to highlight is Jigen's escape from Russia with a prima balerina. Amazing!
However, after about 80 episodes the subtitles became horribly to read, why? Subtitles layed over other subtitles, really no fun. This continued until episode 130.

As for the art and sound - don't expect anything too great. This anime aired from '77 to '80, besides, the music is mostly annyoing (especially the "Super Hero" song)

In terms of characters...yaaay! Jigen Daisuke has become one of my most favourite ones while watching this series. Cool and calm, always ready to help Lupin, the womanizer out of his pinches. Lupin himself can be a pain in the ass, when he's trying to hit on women (and always fails xD). Goemon, who is cool, too and Fujiko complete the gang.
Always persuing them is the (sometimes) lunatic Inspector Zenigata, a man who devoted his life apprehending Lupin bringing about more damage than he stops lol.

All in all, if you watched the first series and you enjoyed it, this is a must watch, although there are so many horrible episodes. As a fan of the films I just had to watch this. And although I only give this a 6/10, I really don't feel as if I wasted my time watching it. The last episodes, by the way, where so good, that I'm looking forward to watching the third and last of the series.

Thanks for reading x> !!!

First of all, if you don't like this kind of manga and are more the "shounen-type", don' read it, don't try, don't even dare. It won't be fun or intersting in the slightest for you. However, if you like works like Aku no Hana or Boku wa Mari no naka, then this is the right thing for you.

The story is about a middle school student called Kurusaw Kakeru, a boy who faps at the girl's toilette after school, thinking about the girls in his class, calling this his "daily duty". One day his classmate, Kitahara, a girl who's being bullied, notices him and asks him ... to make a deal. Well, I won't tell more of it, but be sure to get something incredible, that I can promise you if you are into tis kind of manga.

Throughout the entire manga, I was just stunned. I would have read all 31 chapters at a single blow if I had the time. The characters are so interesting, we've got the mc who doesn't cares about his surroudings, the bullied Kitahara and Takagawa and Nagaoka. Well, I love allt characters of this manga!

Yokota Takuma and Ise Katsura created something big. What a shame there isn't an anime adaption for this masterpiece.

I only read this manga because I translated sexless as someone who has no genitals (lol) and because some people said the ending is said (note: I hardly ever read any descriptions). Well, after this I thought this would be a great manga, but I was wrong.
The story is about a university student who is scared of women and about a teacher who is afraid of men. They decide to become sexless friends meaning friend who don' t have sex (lol) and try to improve their behaviour towards the other sex.

The story is your typical clichéd rom-com, meaning the main characters are incredible clumsy (how ... many boobs did the male mc touch again?). There's also a nice amount of tragic in it to make the story more interesting.
As for the characters, they are your run-of-the-mill type, but I don't think it was meant be another way.

Anyways, to make this short: if you enjoy reading rather plain stories and like to see some boobs, you might read it. But if you think this is might worth reading because you got spoiled of the end, don't do it.
