Anime Relations: Major S2, Major S1, Major S3

I want to start off with the 4 famous words of Zetsubou-sensei:
"I am in despair!"
Few weeks ago i started watching one of the more popular Sports Anime called "Major". I thuought: "All right, it's pretty famous, it already got 6 Seasons, that's gotta be something. As a big Fan of Sports Anime (i enjoyed Dan Doh!!, Prince of Tennis, One outs, Hajime no Ippo, Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger and the most important Slam Dunk till there was no end in sight) i started watching this series with high expactations.
--Season 1--
Let's point out the HUGE positive point: The games were awesome, memorable, nice animated. I liked it. But this slice of life part. This HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE slice of life part. Don't get me wrong: I like Slice of life. The sol parts in Prince of Tennis and especially in Slam Dunk where entertaining and they fit perfectly into the series. But this slice of life part in Major Season 1 was just total BS, in my oppinion. And that's not enough, it even had romance. And romance is the 1 Genre i can't stand. Togehter with Yaoi and Mecha, but Romance in Shoujo Ai and Yuri is all right, i really like that. The sol/romance part may drag the story forward, but i just hated it. And what also got on my nerves was this silly wannabe Ryoma Echizen Honda, Goro. Especially in Season 1 he was so arrogant that sometimes i just wanted to slap my screen. And sometimes i wanted to turn it off, 'cause of the Romance =D
If Season 1 wouldn't have this unwatchable romance slice of life bs, then i would've given Major Season 1 10 out of 10 points, but, as i said, i was disappointed.
--Season 2--
To put it short and sweet: Again horrible slice of life part (at least similar no romance) but the games weren't as good as in Season 1. Disappointing. Just disappointing.
--Season 3--
I only watched the 1st episode so far. The slice of life part sucks again XD But i don't give up the hope. If the 3rd Season concentrades more on the actual sport instead of sol/romance, i may like it. I mean it already got 6 seasons, it just can get better.
But what i don't understand, is that in Season 3, as well as in Season 2, the story starts all over again. New School, New Team, New Player. Of course it brings in fresh wind, but why can't they stick with one team at least for 2 Seasons?
Anyways, i hope that Major Season 3 concentrades more on the sports and cuts out this sol stuff.
May it entertain me :D

Recently i watched NBA TV where they showed the last NBA Conference and overall Finals again. First up, it made me realize why i still can't stand Boston Celtic's bench player Glen Davis, but more important it made me more and more impatient for the next season.
The NBA Draft exited me sooo damn much. LeBron going to Miami, side-on-side with Dwayne Wade and Amar'e Stoudemire, who happens to be my favourite Player so far, is going to the New York Knicks... i would've found it great, if he stayed with the Phoenix Suns he was tearing up the stadium together with Steve Nash. Well, let's see how things are going for him. I'm also looking forward for December, 25th where the LA Lakers fight against Miami. It's like Kobe Bryant, Artest, Pau Gasol and Derek Fisher against LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. I'm looking forward for Kobe's play especially in this particullar game. Kobe all the way! ;)
I hope the Laker's will not only win this game, i hope they also win the upcoming season... even though i wouldn't mind, if the Knicks grab it in the next season. AMAR'E 4 EVERYTHING & EVERYBODY! :D

So it happened. I actually saw this one coming. The Lakers will meet the Boston Celtics... am i right? I actually didn't follow the game between the Celtics and the Magics, but i guess the Celtics won. Hopefully :D in the NBA Finals. Anyways, the Lakers beat the Suns 111:103. It was just a few minutes ago, i was cheering the hell outta myself, but it didn't help: The Lakers made it. In the middle of the 4th quarter i thought: Why don't they put the bench players on the court? The suns were about 17 points behind the Lakers and when the bench player were on the court, they were closing the gap. And as soon as the regulars were on the court, they were falling behind. It would be perfect if they would have Stoudemire (my all-time favourite who played an awesome game, especially in the 2nd and 4th quarter), Dragic (damn, this guy played so damn well), Frye, Lopez and Nash on the court (i guess Lopez didn't play at all) and they may have won. Argh. In my world they won, no doubt about it :D

Anyways, i'm still looking forward for the NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, i guess. Maybe i'll cheer for the Celtics or maybe also the Lakers, i'll see how much i dislike the Lakers until then ;D

Oh... my...
DAMN! SLAM DUNK; THANK YOU VEEEEEERY MUCH!
Damn, Slam Dunk inspired me to watch "rl Basketball" also formally known as "NBA". Perfect timing: The western and eastern conference Finals are currently the status quo. Orlando vs. Boston isn't so really interesting for me, but i watched all games between the LA Lakers and the Phoenix Suns (even though i missed the first game.)
But what in the hell? I'm so much in love with the Suns. When i saw the 2nd match between the Suns and the Lakers i kinda understood why so much people love the Lakers, they just got a very good and exciting way of playing, but the Suns. OH MY GOSH THE SUNS! Steven Nash and my all-time favourite NBA Player Amar'e Stoudemire and tonight the bench of the Suns in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. Damn! They kick so much butt!
In the 2nd game the Suns lost with 112-124, but they won the 3rd 109-118 and the 4th 115-106 (both at home, i guess.)
Damn Steven Nash, Amar'e Stoudemire and Lopez are one of my favourite Players and the Suns are now my favourite Team, without a doubt. Especially the pair Nash-Soudemire controls the court from front to back. Ah. I hope the suns win the western conference finals against the Lakers. I'm definitly looking forward for the 5th game from the best-of-7-series.
Who do you guys think will win? My personal oppinion would be... GO SUNS! =)

It is pretty hard to find words for the luck i had this week (depending on Anime), it is so awesome that i need to write it down, so if you like to laugh about someone who is a bit disappointed in specific things in daily Anime life, then enjoy ;D
Here's the first thing; actually this goes on for more than one week: I'm searching for some new Hentais to watch, but the ones i've found so far were censored, so i was thinking about watching Hatsu Inu, Café Junkie and Discode. I was pretty positive that those 3 won't be censored. I donwloaded the first episode of "Hatsu Inu" and all two or three episodes of "Café Junkie" and "Discode". I was looking forward to Hatsu Inu... Censored. Then i planned to watch Café Junkie... Censored as well. I wouldn't really mind about it, but since i plan to write a review about every Hentai i've watched, i want to watch Hentai uncensored, because the... let's called it "private stuff" could "rescue" or "ruin" a Hentai. As you can see in Xpress Train... or "Beet the Vandel buster". I was like: "Great. Think positive i got one more: "Discode"". Yay! It isn't censored... But... Eh? Oh my, Why!? What is this? OH NO! NO! NO! NO! "SETTAI" as the japanese would say. I won't go in detail but it has got a "Genre" i'm not really INTO, so that was a fail as well.
With some disappointment in my brain, 1-2 tears in my eyes and my "vain of anger" grownin' up a bit i wanted to continue with my daily routine: Watching some Gintama episodes. Licensed! Yay! No, i won't loose my positiveness yet:
I began to watch Eyeshield 21, today i wanted to get some new episodes. That won't be a problem, right? They won't Licensed it after i started watching it, won't they? Guess what? It's licensed.
That's so awesome, isn't it? XD
I guess i never had this much luck in one week. Let's see what else is coming up this week, there are 3 days remaining. If "Rurouni Kenshin" aka "Smaurai X" is going to get licensed as well, then i swear i'm going to cry, since i only need to watch some more episodes to complete it :D

Uuh i can hardly sit still wuhu :)
All right, tonight may not be the night when 2 become one (or let's say: not yet.) But it will come. For sure. And i mean it in both ways. Anyways i was talking about TNA Lockdown! Every Matches take place in the steel cage (yep, last year the "cage" had a tighter name: the "6 sides of steel".)
But i'm so damn looking forward to this PPV: The Band vs. Team 3D. SHIET! Scott Hall and 6-Pac against Team 3D! Or was it even a 3 vs. 3? Like: Scott Hall, 6-Pac and Kevin Nash against Team 3D&Jesse Neil? I guess that'll happen, oh my, this is going to be so damn great!
Just like the Lethal lockdown match, i mean seriously: In Team Hogan we've got Abyss, RVD&Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarret against Beer Money Inc., Sting and of course the allmighty DESMOND WOLFE!!!!! Abyss got hit by a car in the last episode of Impact!, Beer Money smashed a beer bottle over RVD's head and Beer Money blew a REAL FIREBALL(!) in Jeff Hardy's face and Sting was beating down Jeff Jarret with his baseball bat. There's more than one possibilty that Team Flair can win, and in that lethal lockdown match, the cage gets locked up and weapons are hanging on top of the cage. UUUH IT'S GOING TO GET UGLY!
Mr. Anderson against Kurt Angle and AJ Styles defends his Champion title against "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero. I REALLY cant't predict who's going to win in the Match between Kurt and Anderson, when it comes down to PPV's they've got a tie: 1:1 and D'Angelo vs. AJ. I hope AJ is going to win this, it may be too early for a title run for D'Angelo and after he got screwed by Flair (i guess this is what is going to happen) he can go to Desmond Wolfe, so Wolfe can teach the Pope some respect, you know? =D
Oh and Douglas Williams "The finest in the world" defends his X-Division Title against Kazarian and Shannon Moore. I hope Sir Douglas will leave Lockdown as the Champion and i hope we'll se a "Chaos Theory", which is, if you ask me, the best finisher ever :)

Anyways, tonight's the night and i'm all hyped up for this PPV! I'm so damn READY! =)
