[Anime Review] Fate Zero

Fate Zero

"At last, a prequel of the Fate/Stay Night that I adored so much" -bezoe

The story of Fate/Zero takes place ten years prior to the events of Fate/stay night, detailing the events of the 4th Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.^[2] The War of the Holy Grail is a contest in which seven mages summon seven Heroic Spirits to compete to obtain the power of the "Holy Grail," which grants a miracle to each member of the winning duo. After three inconclusive wars for the elusive Holy Grail, the Fourth War commences.

Founded by the Einzbern, Makiri, and Tōsaka families centuries ago, the Einzbern family is determined to achieve success after three consecutive failures, no matter the cost. As a result, they have elected to bring the hated magus killer, Kiritsugu Emiya, into their ranks, despite his methods and reputation as a skilled mercenary and a hitman who employs whatever he can use to accomplish his goals. Though Kiritsugu had once wanted to become a hero who could save everyone, he has long since abandoned this ideal upon realizing that saving one person comes at the cost of another's life. For the sake of humanity, he will ruthlessly destroy anything and anyone who threatens the peace of others.

However, Kiritsugu finds himself deeply torn between the love he has found for his new family - his wife Irisviel and their daughter Illya - and what he must do to obtain the Holy Grail. Meanwhile, Kiritsugu's greatest opponent appears in the form of Kirei Kotomine, a priest who cannot find any sense of fulfillment in his life and sets his sights on Kiritsugu as the possible answer to the emptiness he feels. - wiki

As a prequel (and also newer anime) Fate Zero surpassed the Fate Stay/Night in the animation and effect department. A lot of 3D implementation for the whole course of the anime series, especially the Berserker that I'm sure it's full 3D, fortunately it is not a distraction at all.

In my opinion, beside focusing on the 2 main characters: Kiritsugu Emiya &  Kirei Kotomine. I like how they focus not to Saber (because it would become very predictable - even though we got all backstories of all Servants). But surprisingly it actually focus on one particular servant (which I would never thought it's going to be the focus in this series). Character design was splendid as well.

The level of action in the anime will makes the view holding their breath for every episode, and I don't think I got the patience to wait the episode to air each week, I'm glad I got the series when it's already done.

Both OP and ED are very enjoyable that I will look for it and make it as part of my playlist in my car :D

This is one of the best anime around, and It is total Blasphemy to miss it, especially if you already watch Fate Stay/Night. It's gonna be in my Favorite anime for sure.

Overall Rating : A

Favorite Characters:

#1. Rider

#2. Gilgamesh

[Anime Review] Bartender

BARTENDER


"An interesting anime about Bartender, if you love the manga, you will definately love the anime" -Bezoe



Bartender follows the nightlife of Ryū Sasakura, a bartending prodigy who is said to mix the best cocktails anyone has ever tasted. Sasakura bides his time in a bar named Eden Hall, hidden in a nook of the Ginza district in downtown Tokyo. It is said that normal people cannot simply find and enter Eden Hall, but they must be invited in by the host. Over the course of the anime, various figures of high and low stature, all of who share unusual troubles and heavy burdens, are "invited" into Eden Hall and are treated to Sasakura's fine drinks, which, with guidance from the young bartender, lead the customers to reflect on their lives and decide on a course of action to tackle with their problems. - Wiki

Woohoo! finally I watched anime again! So the anime that I watched this time was called Bartender. I love the manga a lot so I actually looking forward to watch the anime (but I didn't know that they released it quite a while ago).

Manga to anime comparison :
Manga version
+ Deeper storyline
+ Detailed background story of each characters
+ Longer story
Anime version
+ Better presentation
+ Every episodes have a very interesting topic and story (and also can feel the moral of the story)
+ Every ending got "how to" create a drink from the episode.

So which one is better? Manga or Anime? since both have a different approach I recommend to read the manga first, then watch the anime afterwards, because if you start with anime, you won't be able to get into each characters in Bartender.

Graphically and animation wise, Bartender have a very sloppy drawings. I am totally not amazed with it since a lot of angled view to the main character, the face and facial expression was inconsistent. Proportional wise also sometimes inconsistent. A lot of Recyclable drawings and also pan or zoom in into a still image.

Music, I love the ending music, somewhat I felt its appropriate, and also I love the music video in the end, plus they teach us how to make the drinks, which is awesome.

In conclusion, I really recommend this anime, IF you read the manga.

Overall Rating : B++

Placeholder for "My 25+ Years in Gaming"

So this is a placeholder for my self about Me and Game world for the past 25 years (I'm 27 years old btw). And beside gaming, I will also write something about me and movies, anime and others stuff. I still don't know what I'm going to type yet (as in structural and grammar), so if its looks like unfinished or jumping all over the place, that's because this personal project will takes probably a while to type it all out. I will probably start with the main point and work from there. Feel free to read and comment if you want, but just remember, it is a work in progress.

Living with Technology (Working Title)

Born into the world April 14th 1983, in Jakarta, Indonesia. My father was a 2nd generation Chinese descendant and my mom was 1st Chinese descendant. My father skin tone was light brown, and my mother was white. From the mixture above, my skin color actually pretty dark, it was probably because Jakarta is a pretty hot place to lived. Oh by the way, My name is Suharjo, yes, no last name in my birth certificate because it is pretty common for naming a baby just using a single name. Try to type in Indonesia past President (Suharto and Soekarno, they both have only one name). But I do have a Family name thought, which from my father side, my family name is Fang and my mother is Lee. The reason I don't use Fang as my last name probably because it will sound really weird to combine those two words. Why? because my name is 100% Javanese name, while my Family name is 100% Chinese, it is kind a like mixing Pentium processor with AMD motherboard (Yes, I love computer stuffs a lot, so probably I will use some joke using computer/game/movie related). Other things about me? I'm the only child, so yes, I'm most likely being spoiled a lot.

I. 0-3 years : uh... Can't remember too much

I remembered that I lived pretty close to anything that was electronic (CRT TV, Radio, and Atari). I have a bit of Short Term Memory (STM) so I can't remembered clearly how was my early childhood. I knew my father had a 14 & 21 inches CRT TV and also I remembered a bit that I played some space shooting games which mainly have a green background, and also play couple games with my close cousin. Beside that, I only remembered that I watch old Roger Moore James Bond, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies, because my father own a Betamax (I love Betamax).

II. 3-6 years: Nintendo, Cartoons and Indonesian Movie.

I was so fortunate that my father also interested in game. One day, my father showed me Nintendo out of no where, as a 3 or 4 years old kid, I was curious. My father showed me how to open the cartridge slot, put the cartridge in, plug the controllers, and turn on the machine. Obviously he didn't show me how to hook the RCA cables to the TV.

The first game was Mario Bros, I was so clueless that I don't know how to react and do with the controller, I just stared at the TV. My father then starts to play the game and show me through the first level, until the finish line (which is the "grab the flag"). Of course my father also new to the game so poor Mario died a lot before he managed to make to the end of the level. And then my father asked me to jump to the flag, of course at first I failed miserably. So for a while before I know how to play Mario, I become the flag grabber.

Next game on the list was The Legend of Zelda, my father actually managed to finished the game, while for me, I'm confused navigating the map, at this point I'm probably 4 years old, so I know how to kill enemies, get potions and stuff. But still my lack sense of direction actually starting at a very young age (until now, I still bad with remembering which way should I go). so I played Zelda for quite a while, I remembered even after couple years later I came back to this game and tried to finish it, which I never be able to till now. No not because I'm suck, it just because my father bought so many other NES games that I want to try.

Games like Contra, Solomon's Keys (which instantly become my dad's favorite), Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, and all others NES games that I have in my collection, so I juggling around to play the games. Bad habit of mine (that I have till now) I usually leave the game half way through and start a new one. That's why I have a lot of games, but I finished only like 20% of them.

Cartoons! I grew up with Tom & Jerry, Mickey Mouse of course. I have tons of cartoons in Betamax, including Thunder Cats, Silver Hawk, Tarzans, the original Johnny Quest, Mighty Mouse, Popeye and I also have Danger Mouse. I fall in love with cartoons since the first time I saw it, even thought the language is in English, which I have no idea what the hell they talking about (I understand only Indonesian and Hokkiannese when I'm under 6 years old). Other memorable cartoons such as Space Ghost, which I hope there will be a live action version sometimes in the future.

First time I went to a movie theater probably around 6 years old (when I was on 1st elementary). The movie theater was about 15 minutes walk from my home or 3 minutes using Bajaj (a three-wheeler transportation). Back in the days, Indonesia cinema produced a pretty good movie (not like now days which 80% of it are really BAD). I love to watch local comedy movie in theater. The best comedy movie was anything from "Warkop DKI", which is a very famous trio comedians who made a very silly but entertaining movie. Other movie genre that I watched was, Indonesian horror with the most famous "Queen of Horror" named Suzanna. Most of the movies played by Suzanna will be the equivalent of Meryl Streep in drama genre, that's how high I respect Suzanna. My first Suzanna movie was "Ratu Buaya Putih", which I still remembered really scares me ( I was 6 years old by the way).

III. 7-12 years : 386! , Sega, Super Nintendo, Tamiya, Comics, Hollywood and Chinese Cinemas. And the introduction of Ghibli.

My mother agreed to buy me a computer for a school works, because I need to learn about Lotus 123 and some other program during elementary school. So my mother ask my cousin to help me get one. If I remembered correctly I received my first computer when I was 4th grade (or was it 5th grade?). It was a intel 386 with 80MB HD, 1/2 MB Tseng VGA, Sound Commander, and 14" monitor. and a gray Genius mouse (3 buttons). It was windows 3.1.1 if I'm not mistaken, but later on it got upgrade to win 95. Oh the joy of having a computer was really nice. I remembered that I never be able to understand Lotus 123 or any other school program, because I'm a really lazy person to learn that kind of stuff. However I know that my knowledge of DOS and windows at a pretty decent level... for a 9 years old kid. King Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory. Are probably the most memorable game for me. I remember I almost scared to dead when I played Police quest, because the graphic was "too intense". Yes we can buy the game pretty easily because Indonesia don't have a rules about minimum age to purchase restricted games (I could get Larry and Elvira if I want to).

Sega Megadrive, I consider as one of the best video game console in early 1990, why? Because of Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm a super big fan of the first Sonic game, because I love the speed and the excitement of the game. Music and graphic are top notch as well. Thankfully, Sega pretty popular in Indonesia, so I can easily obtain the games. My father barely touch Sega because he said to me that Sega is "too advance", so basically my father just bough me almost all of the Sega new release games. I probably have like 120+ games of individuals Sega cartridges, I might miscounted because I haven't see my Sega storage for ages. Let just say I have tons, from Ghouls and Ghost, Kid Chameleon, GunStar Heroes, Mickey Mouse, all Golden Axes, Bare Knuckles, Hokuto No Ken (Fist of North Star), Techno Cop, Pit Fighter. Seriously, just name all of the Sega games I probably have it with the exception of: Sports game, Vectorman, Earth Worm Jim, and Comix Zone (I believed because I couldn't find one).

One day, I went to a mall and saw, oh wow! a new video game console (which is Super Nintendo Obviously), and I asked my father to get it for me. This is probably only me, but SNES somehow, feels less memorable in comparison to Sega Megadrive (probably because I'm a Sega fan - till now). The best SNES game for me is Mario Kart, Earth Bound, Chrono Trigger, and some Dragonballs game which I don't remember which version.

During that period of time, my father found another new hobby, and that was Tamiya. For those who never heard of it, Tamiya basically a car product for children or adult who hobby in tweaking their battery car for competition (or just for hobby). At first I hate Tamiya, because I don't know how to assemble it together, I always asked my father to do it for me. Of course he gladly assemble for me, and I can start play it on the track. After a year, I started to really hooked on Tamiya because of the anime :Dash Yonkuro, an anime about a kids that fight using Tamiya. That is also the first time I'm consider my self as a collector items. Because I bough almost every line of Dash Yonkuro cars (including Dancing Doll, which a girl character car). I even have a car that had 2 Dynamos or using 3 Battery (Shooting Star). That was a really interesting era, because every weekend me and my father always go to "Toy City" A mall where most of Jakarta Tamiya hobbyist, gather and play together. Every time we played Tamiya, we always bring a tool box, full of battery, screwdriver, tires, lights, and the barrier. It was like we consider Tamiya like a F-1 Racing, and we are the pit stop.

When I'm at 1st elementary grade, I started to get some allowance for buying snack or others stuff. that is the time that I realized that reading comics interest me. Good things that my school have a library that have a comic sections, and Donald Duck is the first comic I ever read. I'm enjoying Donald Duck a lot, then I start considering to buy the comic once every week. That is probably the only comics that I read till 3rd elementary grade, then I started to read thicker pocket sized comics, such as Tekken Chinmi, Doraemon, Dragon Ball, and some Shoujo Manga that I borrowed from my cousin. such as Candy Candy and Popcorn. When I getting older, I read some more Eechi manga such as City Hunter, or a bit gory one like Fist of the North Star.

My love for movies always keep growing. almost every week I go to movie theater with either aunt or cousin to watch some movie. I remember watching some National Lampoon, James Bond, and a lot of Chinese movie. Other good things is, my father always keeps the Betamax collection up to date.

The most memorable Betamax that I watched at elementary school must have be Laputa: Castle in the Sky. It was dub in Japanese with Chinese Subtitle. Even though I didn't understand at all I keep watching it over and over again, because I love the movie so much. If I have to count, probably I watched Laputa for more than 60 times on Betamax and thats for the period from when I was 6 - 12 years, because I stopped watch it again after I go to Junior Highschool. The funny thing about Laputa is, even though I watched it for plenty of times, I still don't understand what Pazu and Sheeta talked about, until I had the DVD back in 2004! And I start watch it again for another 12 times on dvd at least.


IV. 13-17 years: 3DO, Saturn, PlayStation, PSII, MMX, Athlon, DDR, Megamall, Counter Strike

My mom likes to go to Hong Kong and China. The total time I traveled to China was 2 times, with 1 travel consist of around 10 city ( Beijing, Shanghai, Guilin, Shenzhen, HangZhou,GuangZhou, FuZhou, TianJin and other areas that I couldn't remember where). As for Hong Kong trip, it is more than 4 times as far as I remembered, and we didn't use any tour agency as in Hong Kong, my uncle and aunt lived there.

One day in Hong Kong, one of my uncle suggested me to travel to Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok, where I found Panasonic 3DO FZ-10, back in that time, no one in Indonesia ever heard about it except for a few that subscribe some game magazine. So I "negotiate" with my father and mother to buy me the video game console, saying that SNES and Megadrive are already a last gen, and this one have a capacity of playing disc and it is at least twice as powerful as the other (which is true). After a long negotiation, my mother finally allow me to buy 3DO (yay!).

I don't remember what first game that I played on 3DO, but I do remember that I have plenty of "live action video games", if you guys know games such as : "Mad Dog", "Drug Wars", "Crime Patrol" that is the type that I'm talking about. Back in the 1990's games that could show the ability to play a real human was pretty hot thing. Games that I really loved in 3DO (I probably have like 60+ games) is Captain Quazar, which I consider it as the "unofficial mascot"
for 3DO. It was a really fun 3/4 camera angle shooting game, really comical and I believe the opening video was very good in terms of the animation, the graphic and the music, I still can remember the music actually until today. Other great games in 3DO that I have is "D" it was a horror adventure games which really makes me have a hard time playing it alone. plus I was playing on 32" CRT Toshiba that I sit 6 feet away while playing this game. The game that I really enjoy it a lot, must be Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger, Mark Hamill was awesome as the main character in that game. Why I love Wing Commander III? to put it simple, Wing Commander III = Mass Effect, the decision that we made might killed your comrade, and also we can decide who is our favorite wing man.

Myst, Virtuoso, Total Eclipse, Theme Park, Syndicate, Strahl, Star Control II, Space Pirates, Space Hulk, Space Ace, Shock Wave, Road Rash, Return Fire, Rise of the Robots (Bad games, very good graphic), Primal Rage, Sailor Moon, Panzer General, Need for Speed, Mega Race, Killing Time, Flashback, Brain Death 13, Ballz and Gex (which really reminds me of Geico nowdays) and some other games that I don't remember.

From the list above games that I enjoyed a lot such as:
- Strahl: the fact that you could get a lot of different endings, makes this game have an ultra replay value (back in 1990's), plus its an interactive anime game (if I may say that)
- Syndicate: I prefer the PC version compare to 3DO because it is easier to navigate using mouse, however, Syndicate is one of the best game by Bullfrog. (plus Syndicate wars ofcourse)
- Star Control II: This is a legendary game, it released on PC during the floppy disk era ( Yes I have the game in PC as well, and I got the galaxy map). However they improve it significantly without dropping any essential parts, it is more like they add it more in the 3DO version, such as the voice dialog, and also better music. If you consider your self a gamer, you might want to check out this game (available for PC, I'm pretty sure now it is become a Freeware)
- MegaRace: It might be an equivalent to "Blur" now days, it was a very fun racing car, and also the "virtual host" in the game was hilarious.
- Flashback: One of the greatest 2d platform (beside the retro prince of persia of course). I recommend anyone who reading it, check the game.
- Return Fire: The game music always stuck in my head. The main objective of this game is simple. Choose your vehicle (jeep, tank, chopper), and capture enemies flag on their base. but it become one of the best game if you play it versus your friend.

Suddenly I read in game magazine that 3DO going to bankrupt and developer are either closing the company, or developing for other console (Saturn & Playstation). I consider 3DO as my favorite console because it was my first 32-bit system, but seems like I need to move on to other consoles.

I read about Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation probably around year 1995, both consoles received a very good reviews from game magazine, but it looks like Saturn was big in Japan, while Playstation was big in USA. It was a really hard decision for me to make, which console should I get first. I like Japanese style game such as Magic Knight Rayearth, and I don't like games such as Crash Bandicoot back in the day. Finally I decide that I'm getting Sega Saturn (white version) after moving from 3DO era.

Game that I received with Saturn was Magic Knight Rayearth and Gotcha. The thing that I love about Sega Saturn console is, they have an internal storage, and also expandable slot on the back. Not only the slot can handle more storage, but actually we could use it to upgrade the RAM for the console (no joke), at the end I have like 3-4 expandable cartridges, it works well for most of the fighting games (which make the animation frame looks smoother, I dare you to try). All of my friends at that time think I'm weird because I choose Saturn over Playstation, because all of them have Playstation, and yes, I'm one of those few who have Saturn.

Games that makes Sega Saturn stands out are: Panzer Dragoon, Nights Into Dream, Dragon Force, Virtual Fighters, Fighting Vipers, Mr. Bones, Sega Rally, Sonic series, Shining Force, Shining of the Holy Ark, Legend of the Oasis, Virtual Cop, Daytona. There were a lot of other good games, but this are the games that I remember, since I have all of the games above (including a lot other games). At the ends I have probably 100+ Sega Saturn games.

[Restaurant] Maneki

Maneki
304 6th Avenue South
Seattle WA

"Once you visit the place, you will come back for the second time, and third.. and forth.. and so on"

Ah... Maneki, I regret that I found this place pretty late compare to my other friends. The first time I went there like 2008 (which I already lived around Seattle since 2001... -_-)

Now on to the restaurant, the restaurant is only open for dinner (5:30-10:30 PM) and I really suggest that you MUST make a reservation way ahead of time if you want to dine there. Why? cause the place will usually fully booked till 9:30 PM, even on weekdays *wow*.

The restaurant it self is not look that big from the outside and its located not on the heart of the International District like other well known restaurants (Jade Garden, Kaukau, Honey Court, Purple Dot, Hing Loon, Ocean City, Hongkong Bistro).... anyway, not saying that the location is hard to find, but it just a little bit up on the hillside, where there's not too many restaurant around Maneki.

On the the menu, for a Japanese cuisine, the price looks very reasonable. Appetizer around $3-$7. Main menu around $7-14.5 (let say its still under $20 if you don't want to get too detail). After looking on the menu, I decided I want to have some feast tonight, so I ordered a little more that what I usually order. The list that I ordered were:
- Sakana Dinner $14.5 (with Makarel on salt *Recommended*)
- Takoyaki (7 pcs) around $4 or less (I forgot the exact price, cause I can't find it in the menu - I might missed it)
- Yakitori Chicken with Teriyaki sauce $4.5

The Taste
Lets start with the Takoyaki and Yakitori. The Takoyaki is delicious, its soft and the filling inside was generous, plus for the price, 7 Takoyaki is alot! (or at least the same price as the rail-sushi one) *but remember, this is a restaurant*
The Yakitori on the other hand, I don't think I will order it again. I don't say it is bad, but its just not stand out, the meat was pretty tender however the teriyaki sauce.. I think I should stick with salt. (plus probably I prefer Takoyaki), so this might be a personal preference.
Sakana Dinner
This one is super worthed, why? First its a dinner set with miso soup, slice of sashimi (total 6 slices if memory served me right), tempura and also fruit (watermelon) all for $15. The sashimi was really fresh even though I went there like 9 30 PM, tuna sashimi is my favorite. Move to the main entree (Makarel with salt). Good things I researched a bit about Japanese cuisine, so I know that I will love salt better than teriyaki in this case, so even though the food looks simple, but the taste was super delicious, I guarantee you will love it. (I haven't tried the salmon version yet, but my friend tried salmon with teriyaki and he not recommended.) The tempura, its fresh and crunchy, nothing special but its good though. and after my stomach full, there's a slice of watermelon that's conclude my dinner.
Maneki is such a nice place to go for a late dinner , and it is one of my favorite Japanese Restaurant around Seattle.

So overall Rating

Food Taste : A (perfect, if you know what you ordering)
Food Price : A (pretty cheap, and worth it)
Restaurant Atmosphere : A- (nice, simple and looks traditional, I love it)

Conclusion : if you like Japanese food, then I recommend you to try and decide it your self.

Picture will be post later, I need to go :D

10 Stuffed Animal Dolls from Crane Machine XD

So last weekend (I believed it was Sunday night/early Monday morning) I went to Denny's after a long session of gaming and couple dvd movies with my gf and close friends. We were pretty hungry and also sleepy (it was like 2 AM after all).
So we decided to stop by at Denny's Lynnwood since its open 24/7
Its not the food that I'm going to blog here, but its about the crane machine *you know, the doll crane*. I'm pretty sure it was my first time played it in US (and I had been here for like 7+ years now haha)

So, while waiting for the food, I saw a crane machine full of stuffed dolls, usually I don't care at all, but at that time I had a urge feeling to play it - It most likely because a day before I played Yakuza 2 on PS2 and collecting stuffed animals :D (for the mini games haha). So anyway, I'm just heading to the crane machine, see is there any stuffed dolls that I like to get. Then I was just like.. oh well, I should give it a try to a random doll, just one try, don't care that I got it or not.
So I went back to my car to get 4 quarters (it was $1 machine), then I tried my luck on my one and only try (or that's what I though at first).

Viola! I picked up a blue teddy bear :D. Yeah sure it's not the best stuffed bear, but hey! I picked up on my first try! woohoo!

Anyway,before I went back to my booth and have my meal, I looked at the crane machine again, I saw a red lobster that looked at me. It was like "please pick me" kinda feeling :D
After I'm done with my food, I went to the toilet, and checked my wallet. There were 1 $5 bills left... hm... so I decided to just use it on the crane machine, just to think that after I get the lobster, I'm done with the game.

2 first try was a failure, and third try was a charm!, I picked the lobster with another doll that I don't remembered what . At that point it makes me addicted to pick more and more XD, plus somehow I found a glitch in the machine (like I'm allowed to play more than 5 times, even though I lost my count how many extra tries I've got, cause I don't really care).

And with that $5, I picked another 9 stuffed dolls! muahahaha, one of my tries actually picked up 3 dolls, I was like (damn, am I good or I'm freaking lucky!) :D

So here are all of the dolls that I collected :D and probably it will become my new hobby :P (probably..)























PS: Woohoo! my first post after more than 1/2 years!. And from now on, I probably blog more about other stuffs other than Animes, cause I barely have time to watch it right now (even tho I got tons of it). Things that I probably going to blog is about my self, foods, music, or maybe Manga :D

See you on the next post :)

[Anime Extra] Clannad : Kyou Chapter

Clannad Another World : Kyou Chapter

It's basically a parallel world where Nagisa not exist. The story only revolved between Tomoyo, Kyou and Ryou. Apparently Ryou had a crush on Tomoyo since beginning, but unfortunately so do Kyou. An act of sisterhood makes Kyou become the one who help her younger sister to pursuit her love one even though it hurts.

This Another world story pretty nice but its pretty much predictable, because even you haven't watch the episode yet, you already know the ending. But nevertheless it was really enjoyable. As usuall, the animation was great and also the illustration.

It was a good stand alone episode in my opinion.
