Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season – Series Review

Maaaaaaany things have happened… Many jokes were cracked… many references were made… but like all good things, a season has to end.

But the end of a season never signifies the end of the world.

Welcome to Whatever Animeblog’s Deredere Hina’s Very Short Summary of the Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season anime!

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – Episode 13: Gambit

Chapter: III-II GAMBIT

Things get a little more complex, more characters are introduced, we see another side of Beatrice and get a nice plot twist. This chapter will follow Rosa’s story about killing the human Beatrice and conclude with the beginning of the first twilight.

Rosa recounts of the story of twenty years ago, when she was still a child. At that day her mother scolded her pretty bad and so she decided to run away from the mansion. Having no way to leave Rokkenjima, she wandered in the woods in search of Beatrice the Golden Witch, as the legend had her, in hope she could grant her a wish.

Getting deeper into the forest she finds an old mansion and decides to enter it. Drinking tea in its garden is no one else than human Beatrice, lacking her light blue eyes and instead having gray ones. Rosa apologises for entering her garden without permission. Beatrice asks her for her name, and she’s overjoyed to learn Rosa is a relative of Kinzo. She invites her to have tea with her. God, what’s with her? Beato is all moe-moe now…

As Rosa describes her, she’s somehow childish and ignorant of the outside world. That’s because she’s been lied that wolves live outside and it’s dangerous to approach them, thus, forcing her to stay disclosed behind the fences of the mansion.

Of course, Beatrice is surprised to be informed by Rosa that wolves don’t exist in this island. Rosa gets into explaining the concept of a zoo to her, which Beatrice finds similar to her position: being rised behind bars, in a cage.

Despite everyone calling her a witch, she rejects that, believing she’s just a simple human. While she questions about her existence, Rosa asks her if she wants to go beyond the fence with her and walk outside. Beatrice immideatly responds to this and since there aren’t any wolves she accepts. As she stands up and asks for Rosa to leave- tic toc, time freezes.

Witch Beatrice and Battler have moved into the old mansion now. The witch explains how this human side of her is nothing but a “cage” created to withstand her powers, made by Kinzo. He, who fell in love with her, bound her with such a strong barrier, so powerful the only way to break it was to discard her body. Battler refuses to believe it however, and she dissolves into butterflies.

Renove (yay), comes to the rescue to enlighten Battler some more. He adds to what Beatrice said that her soul was captured, and so, given a new life as a human again. And now? Renove talks in red, confirming the existence of a hidden mansion called Kuwadorian in the forest of Rokkenjima.

Battler questions the truth of the story about human Beatrice, which Renove decides to confirm in red: In the year 1967, in the hidden mansion, Beatrice existed as a human.

Rosa and human Beato are now staring at the sea from a distance. As they walk down the cliff, Beatrice missteps, resulting in her falling on the ground and more moemoe. Rosa helps her stand up and they continue. Beato looks forward to seeing the sea from close but that was never meant to happen. You see, she was being careless again. Careless to the point of missteping to close to the edge of the cliff and falling doooooown.

Not responding to her name when called out, Rosa rushes to where she fell. There lies her lifless body, covered in blood. As Rosa mourns, witch Beatrice is now free of her eternal boundry. Her soul is released of the body and her memories of being a witch return. However, her blue eyes don’t. What’s with that?

Time freeze again. All three of them (Battler, Beatrice and Ronove) were present to see Beatrice’s rebirth as a witch this time. Beatrice confirms the lifeless body before them is cetrainly dead, and, that there are no more than 18 people on the island of Rokkenjima, much to Battler’s shock. Right now, he either has to suspect one of his own or blame it all to Beatrice’s magic.

Moving forward to our time, Shannon is sitting outside after being proposed by George. Of course, she’s wearing the ring. Kanon and Genji come to pick her up, as Kinzo has called them all to his room. Upon arriving, they meet with Beatrice -who was playing chess with Kinzo- and Renove, who was also there. This isn’t the first time they meet, however. Renove turns out to be an old friend of Genji’s, and has seen Shannon in the past. That leaves us only with Kanon, which I assume joined Kinzo later than the others, since he was the only one not to know him.

Beatrice has brought good and bad news to Kinzo on this day. The good news is that he managed to be reunited with her before the completion of her ceremony. The bad news, though, is that he was chosen to be one of the first six sacrifises of the first twilight. He aknowledges his lost is unavoidable, and as Beatrice check mates him, he burns into flames.

Genji notices the ring on Shannon’s finger and assumes George gave it to her. He questions on whether she has any regrets to it, as they’re gonna get killed by Beatrice sooner or later. We see Shannon confident as usual, satisfied just by the fact she’s been treated as human for once.

Putting that aside for now, Beatrice wants to play a game with Kanon. If he accepts and manages to defeat Beatrice’s furniture, the Seven Stakes of Purgatory, he’ll have the previlage to choose two of the five people who will escape becoming one of the thirteen sacrifices. Shannon attempts to stop him from doing it but she’s turned down by an emotional Kanon. Now he and Lucifer (The first sister of the Seven Stakes of Purgatory which Beato summoned) step forward.

So full of herself, she puts up a fight but not for long; with that attitude of hers she couldn’t just beat Kanon. Beatrice congratulates Kanon on winning but Lucifer wouldn’t let it end like this. She transforms into one of these daggers and attempts to kill Kanon, who sacrifises his hand in order to block her and win once again. He asks Beatrice about his prize, but soon realises he had been mislead by her. The deal was about beating all of the sisters, not just one, as he believed.

The rest of the sisters get summoned and transform into daggers. In an attempt to save her brother, Shannon joins the ‘fight’ and sets a barrier around them to protect them for some longer. Having recieved the ring by George, lived as a woman and protected her brother, she says she can die without any regrets. Of course, Beatrice is pissed off again by her actions, naturally. That girl tends to do that a lot lately…

Jealous of Shannon having lived a fullfilled life, she oaths to crush them alive and torture them untill they finally die. That would never happen though. Genji walks into the barrier and gently takes both of the servants’ lives using his powers after command, so they could at least die peacefuly. He proceeds by asking Renove to do the same to him, ultimately turning himself into the fourth sacrifice.

With four dead people on the ground there are only two sacrifces left. The sisters take off to accompish them. First one to be taken of is Gohda, and second to be attacked is Kumasawa, who seems to possess a big amount of magic power -enough to deflect the sisters’ attacks and ask them to bring Beatrice to her. They get enraged by how casually she adresses her, but nevertheless, Beatrice herself (Who arrived to the scene) doesn’t seem to mind.

She introduces Kumasawa as her ex-teacher, the previous lady to hold the name of Beatrice. Golden butterflies surround Kumasawa as she shines brightly, transforming into her original appearance we’ve seen in the previous episode.

-

My thoughts:

OK, one, human Beatrice was really moe moe. I was kinda hoping we’d get to see more of her… Meh. Now I wonder what’s with her eyes. As a child, they were blue. When she was reborn as human they turned grey, and following that, after becoming a witch again, they were still grey. How come the Beatrice of now has blue ones? Thinking they might’ve changed back to blue after Shannon broke the magic mirror, I checked episode six only to find the witch having her natural blue eyes…

Not much Battler in this episode either. Meta Battler is kinda cornered again… I dont believe he can prove the murders were taken out without the use of magic. I don’t see any flaws…

Kanon proved to be somewhat stronger than what I had imagined. Shannon was being *cough*useless*cough* again. And Genji’s power seems like quite the killer.

With Kumasawa being the former Lady Beatrice, I’m wondering why has she joined Kinzo’s furniture and how did she die so easily on the first and second chapters… I also sense a 1 on 1 fight between her and the current Beatrice, as seen in the new opening.

That’s pretty much everything for now, I’m off~

Fullmetal Alchemist -Brotherhood- 24 – Inside the Belly

<       >

Wow… Episode 24 and it still making my adrenaline work overtime.

The battle continuous on (it’s been 3 episodes already when they have started) and it keeps getting better and better. Lots of fight, lots of revelation, and lots of plot twist. Recommended for ages 00 and above. Quick, if you guys haven’t started this show, start it now (except those who read the manga I guess…)

___________________________________________________________

<01>

The episode started with Envy, bringing food to Dr. Marco in a room with some chimeras guarding it. Dr. Marco and Envy discussed what they will do to those ‘human sacrifices’. Dr. Marco guessed if they are going to use them to create the philosopher stone. Envy replied that his guessed is closed to what they are going to do.

<02>

Envy also revealed that (s)he heard from Lust that Dr. Marco decided to help the homunculus to save his beloved village. Envy continued ranting about how humans are so invulnerable

<Episode Title: 03>

<04>

Wrath’s Turn. The Fuhrer was walking alone outside the house where Wrath and his family walked before (gah… I forgot the episode). A voice talked to him, which he revealed to be Pride. Wrath replied that he is having fun to the way things are going: Which is all according the father’s plan.

<05-06>

The protagonists turn. Gluttony berserks, releasing a powerful blast of wind that destroys everything that is on its path. Roy tried to kill Gluttony with his fire alchemy but Gluttony just absorbed it. Gluttony starts attacking again. Roy and the Elric brothers run for their lives.

<07-08>

The three went to separate ways. Gluttony chases Roy. Gluttony almost ate Roy but Riza came to the rescue and shoots Gluttony three times in the skull. Roy escaped for the moment. Roy began to feel the damage he took from Envy from the previous episodes.

<09>

Ling arrived with Ran Fan to the car, with the doctor in it. Ling felt a presence from somewhere but ignores it for the meantime. Ling persuades the doctor to wait for the others.

<10>

Gluttony found Roy and attacks him. Unfortunately for him it is just a doll made of alchemy

<11-13>

Everyone arrived at the car. Ling and the Elric Brothers (and the panda…) said that they will stay for the purpose of increasing their knowledge about the Homunculi. Roy wanted to join but it is objected by everyone. Ling asked to make Ran Fan safe. For safety, Riza gave her gun to Edward, which Edward accepted.

The three looks at Gluttony as he berserks. A black hound appeared to them, which revealed to be Envy. Envy ordered Gluttony to stop.

<Commercial!:14>

<15-17>

After hearing ‘chibi’ from Envy, Edward attacks Envy. Envy, however, is just fooling around. The three confronted the Homunculi. Envy scolded Gluttony that he can’t eat the Elric brothers, though it is okay to eat Ling instead. The Elric Brothers devised a plan; they separated Ling and Gluttony and confronted Gluttony. Envy confronted Ling

<18 >

< 21-22>

The Elric brothers tried to restrict Gluttony but they miserably failed. The walls blocking the two has been destroyed, letting the other team enter the other side. Ling is on the upper hand, but got stopped when Envy transformed into Ran Fan. Gluttony attacks from behind, but Edward interfered. Since Edward is an important sacrifice, Envy tried to save Edward. Unfortunately, all three of them (if you don’t count the half of Envy, that’s 2 1/2) disappeared.

< 23>

Alphonse confronted Gluttony, ordering him to spit out his brother. However, Gluttony replied that he cannot do that.

< 24>

The other group rests at the doctor’s house. Ran Fan said that she wanted to help in Ling’s battle but was denied by the Doctor. Roy and Riza however, cannot stay for awhile, they decided to go to and search who is their opponent and allies.

<25>

They visited another higher official named Raven. Roy apologizes for not coming for introductory due to duties. Raven replied that he doesn’t mind. He asked if Grumman is doing. Roy replied that he’s doing fine.

<26-28>

Roy and Raven continued their conversation as they walk to the meeting hall. Roy asked Raven if he knew about the rumors that the Fuhrer is a homunculus. Raven just laughed at him. Upon reaching the room, he saw many high ranking officials. He discovers that all of them knew about the Fuhrer’s secret.

<29>

Edward woke up in a deserted area with red water below. He recognizes that the water is actually blood. He shouted, asking where the hell is he!?

_______________________________________

Nice episode. The plot is accelerating fast without any hints of slowing down. Not to mention the plot is very well constructed. Maes Hughes is shown on the flashback numerous times; it is really good to hear that he actually decoded everything before he got cut off in the show.

Now that someone mentioned that Ran Fan is voiced by Nana MIzuki, her moe factor rose up from 82% to 87%! I hope she’ll get well soon.

That’s all for today’s episode. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And thank you for reading.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – Episode 12: Castling

This chapter is totally different from what we’ve already seen. Just by watching the new Opening scenes, I realised it will be mostly focusing on Beatrice and other witches. And yes, I couldn’t be more right, it seems…

The episode starts in the past, where the Beatrice we know is still a kid, having trouble at home because she broke one of her father’s vases. A golden butterfly flies around, and a witch she calls Beatrice magically appears before her. She adresses her as ‘Princess’ and is willing to help her fix the vase in a way the Master (Her father, most probably) won’t be angry at her, using magic, of course. She tells her that the source of magical power is no else than the power of belief, and so, he asks her to wish for it strongly. The vase is back to normal but not for long, as she explains that the fate of something breaking can’t be avoided easily. As she finishes her sentence, a cat runs wild into the house and breaks the vase -again- leaving the servants who run after it in a state of panic.

Further explanation about magic is given, concluding that it’s really hard to fix something that’s broken. However, it’s not impossible. The person who taught the witch (The Beatrice of that time, that is) about magic is told to be able to use Eternal Magic, a kind of magic which lasts forever, on the contrary of the temporary magic Beatrice used to fix the vase. That level of magic is a level all witches should reach, and the ones who achieve it are given the title of an “Endless Witch” –a kind of witch who knows no limits, who defies the concept of breaking. According to Beatrice, these witches are freed from the sadness of losing things and are promised eternal bliss. As she walks off, young Beatrice asks her if she’ll also be happy if ever she becomes one. The witch gently pats her head, and tells her that it’s possible with lots of training. Young Beatrice finally asks her to become her disciple and she agrees.

Someplace else, a younger Kinzo is arguing with Eva, who wants to have the same responsibilites as Krauss in the family. He strongly refuses to it, telling her her place should be to leave their family and marry a man who’s gonna be profitable to him. As he starts coughing due to his health issues, he orders her to get out and leave him alone with his son. Eva is later seen alone, sitting outside and talking to herself about her feelings of hate about Krauss and Kinzo. Ultimately she accepts her fate and wishes to become a good lady and find someone worth marrying -someone Krauss wouldn’t even be a match for.

A woman appears in front of her out of thin air, probably an even younger incarnation of herself. She claims to be the same being as Eva and strongly refuses to give in to Kinzo’s arrogant wishes. This meeting is not their first one, however. Sometime in the past they swore together they’d become the head of the Ushiromiya Family no matter what. The mysterious girl tells her to turn her anger into magical power and believe in her, so her magic can create a miracle. Eva agrees to believe in her, and as everything turns dark, she chants about the Golden Land.

The Eva of now finally wakes up from her dream (Which we were witnessing). Their boat has reached Rokkenjima. This time we get to see another one of the younger characters’ picnic, where the four cousins and Shannon attend. Battler learns about George’s relationship with Shannon through Jessica, and later they all make an oath they’ll always stay friends, putting their parents’ matters aside.

Back to the game room now… Beato and Battler have both taken their respective seats and the Witch declares the beginning of their new game. Winds, thunders and waves gather around the island, cutting it off from the rest of the world.

Remember the rose Maria was always searching for? Well, after the explanation about magic on the beginning of the episode, it’s now kinda clear what happened. The scene changes to the gardens, where Maria asks Beatrice to fix the rose they marked earlier (As seen in Chapter I). The little girl is amazed by the Witch’s powers and wishes to become a witch like her one day. Beatrice gives her a letter and concludes to telling Maria she also had the same wish when she was a child. The little girl takes it (along with Beatrice’s umbrella) and runs off.

As the rain keeps falling wild, Kinzo throws his ring into the air and a lightning strikes it, throwing it towards Beatrice’s position. She stretches her hand out to take it, only for a male witch dressed like a buttler to appear and catch it instead. The scene changes once more to the game room and Beatrice starts with the introductions. The new witch’s name is Renove, a great demon ranked as the 27th noble of Hell, another piece of Beatrice’s furniture.

Back to the mansion’s dining hall, Maria is reading the letter given to her by Beatrice. Natsuhi finds the letter as an insult to the Ushiromiya family and her husband, who’s officially the one to take over after Kinzo’s death. The other siblings agree and decide to go ask Kinzo for themselves, thus leaving the cousins behind along with Gohda, Genji and Kyrie -a new character introduced into this chapter. Kyrie asks Maria more about the person who gave her the letter. Maria’s responses are the same as ever though…

The cousins procceed into a sleeping room, where Maria falls asleep. Battler, who hasn’t had much screentime the whole time, theorizes that this all is a game by Kinzo, and Beatrice’s name is used to cause an uproar. Jessica has less trouble believeing in what Maria said, however, as she knows of an old rumor about someone they dont know about lived on the island.

The elder siblings gather again, having been rejected by their father. Out of all, Natsuhi suspects the servants who used the excuse of being too busy making beds to see Maria in the gardens. Much to her displeasment though, Rudolf brings up a rumor of over 30 years ago: The rumor about Kinzo’s mistress who lived in the forests of this island. From her words on the letter, Krauss assumes she has the gold, leaving the other siblings worried. After they think again however, they start doubting her being in possesion of the gold, mostly because there was no reason to reveal that. Kyrie turns the chessboard around for them, agreeing with their previous statements that Beatrice most likely has the gold. The Ushiromiyas wouldn’t just give the inheritance to a mistress who declared a game by herself, unless by the use of a compelling force, of course. A condition that would make them glad to give her the inheritance, in other words -According to Eva- ten tons of gold. The game is now seen as a good trade by everyone except Natsuhi, who thinks of it as an insult. Nobody cares about what she says anyway. Rudolf brings up the possibility of the gold costing as much as 20 billion yen in the market. That’s a lot more than the inheritance. Eva disagrees with giving her the inheritance but her reasons are stopped by her husband who reminds her she wouldn’t get anything of the inheritance in the first place. While Kyrie explains that by writting that letter Beatrice has created a risk with her, Eva is busy listening to the “Other Eva’s” thoughts about how this is their final chance to become the family head.

Tic, toc, the clock rings again and we’re moved back to the game room. Renove is now serving his master and Batter tea and cake. Battler has now come with another theory for himself, that Beatrice might exist on the island not as a witch, but as a normal mistress. This way, he cant suspect any of the 18. The witch tries to scare Battler by telling him she can prove only 18 people are on the island by saying it in red letters. This time Battler takes up the challenge and asks her to repeat that there are no more 18 people on the island. This brings her in a tough position. Ensuring there are no more than 18 persons on the island would mean the culprit is someone among them, and that the deaths weren’t carried out by a witch’s magic. Beatrice refuses to repeat that. Good job Battler, you have her cornered now… or maybe not?

That brings Battler into believing no one of the 18 is the murdere -that there is a 19th person on the island, the human Beatrice. This time he orders her to repeat that there are at least 19 people on the island. She refuses in confusion. With this, Battler can now use a 19th person for his theories, or maybe even a 20th, a 21st or even more theoritical characters. Beatrice decides to show why she refused to speak in red for Battler’s first move…

We’re back to the room where the siblings were discussing again. Rosa seems to be acting weird and Hideyoshi is the first to realise. He asks her if she’s okay, and as everybody’s listening to what she says, she reveals that Beatrice cant be alive because she killed her.

-

Thoughts:

Hmmm, the episode was really good. I liked to learn more about Beatrice’s past. It seemed like we knew nothing about her… As I said before, now that the concept of magic and witches is generally accepted by the series, what chance does poor Battler stands? Beatrice seems to be always a step ahead him.

I liked the addition of new characters. Now the game room is full of life! OK, maybe not… Battler brought Beatrice into a difficult position for the first time now, interesting. The reason she wouldn’t respond to his first request was shown, but what about the second? If the human Beatrice is dead, there are now supposedely 18 people on the island and we have actually someone to suspect. Hmm, maybe Eva? I doubt it though.

Kyrie seems to be a big influence toward’s Battler’s way of thinking. What could her role in this story be? I dont remember her talking the other two chapters… And what about Rosa? She killed Beatrice? That’s a new, wow. I guess we’ll have more than one adult staying alive for longer in this chapter. Then again, we might not, as Eva is the main adult to be featured. I wouldn’t mind some more Rosa though… She came to be my favourite of the adults.

Episode III-I Castling

This chapter is totally different from what we’ve already seen. Just by watching the new Opening scenes, I realised it will be mostly focusing on Beatrice and other witches. And yes, I couldn’t be more right, it seems…
