Catching up

I had fallen way behind the previous week because of headaches, the head and general sluggishness.
So, it was time to...
Catch up on all the anime I missed (What a difficulty goal -_-)

Utawareru Mono up to 8:

Kamyu's voice is slightly annoying, but I like Kamyu, so I can live with it.
Bishewi is now on the good side, yay.
Hakuoro hates paperwork.
Still rocking along at its own leisurely pace, but well, no tactics game can be a game without lots and lots of battles, so unfortunately nothing peaceful can last forever.

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi up to 9:
Kyoto Animation, continuing their rather silly ordering.
I find it rather easy to like every female more than Haruhi XD
The latest episode though was sort of quiet and muted; but it did do something to raise the my rating of Haruhi a little.
Still though when you see who she's competing with (Mikuru is a goddess, and Nagato...well you'll see), she still comes off as the most annoying of the three.
(Mumble mumble needs more Tsuruya also.)

Higurashi no naku koro ni up to 8:
Flat out craziness.
I'm left scrambling for theories to attempt to explain what is going on; evidentally arc three is where it all comes crashing down (as if it hasn't already).
Episode 7 is a horrible joke by Korean animators using animated gifs however, when Mion flips it's IMPOSSIBLE to take it seriously as it is so poorly animated as it made me bust out laughing.
Episode 8 is just screwed up shit.
Lol poor drm is emo over Shion still; granted I liked her too...Mion has to die.
Theory time:
1. Oyashiro is real. Highly likely. There is SOME sort of posession going on. Considering Rena from the first arc (prone to switching, bat shit evil) and Rena from the second arc (no switch inside her, a rather comforting presence for Keichi who has to face the new bitch queen, maybe clairvoyent though?), one has to say that something definitely happened to Rena in the first one.

2. Everyone is hopped up on drugs. I assume the syringe in the first arc is what made Keichi claw his own throat out, and the same with the photographer. The problem is if you start viewing everything as a hallucination, you're back to where you started (trust nothing, get nothing). For the sake of argument I'm going to assume that whenever Keichi sees a girl go crazy, it is happening. (One could argue that it's a hallucination, but who knows.)

So what are you left with? You are left with an entity called Oyashiro that seems to be able to posess the dead, posess a variety of people, and just generally protective of its secrets and evil or a demon or something.

You are also left with Mion, who is usually the main force behind a lot of the murders each arc and has the mafia on her side, who probably is half demon herself and has a demon side that is however still infused with Mion.
Meaning that yes, Mion can seem posessed without Oyashiro (When she gets very angry, but still it's just an evil Mion, still has feelings), and that yes, Oyashiro can posess Mion (Forgets everything even evil Mion cares about and is 10 times nuttier)

Fate Stay Night up to 21:
I agree with Allan here, episode 20 is pretty blah.
But when I look at how much I enjoyed 21, I can't say episode 20 didn't serve a purpose, and that was to set up 21.
I wonder if they(animators) will let Saber stay now, cause wow 21 was dramatic.
Shirou has theoretically died 4000000 times or something by now XD
Spoiler: Gilgamesh was pretty cool when he was young (Fate Hollow Atarxia)...wonder why he became such an asshole when he got older.

Ouran High School Host Club up to 8:
Wow, episode 8 was a real change of tone with the fight.
"You won't get any merits out of sleeping with me."
I have to really wonder about Kyouya-senpai in this episode...I still think he's awesome though.
Tamaki is the king of misunderstood dorks as always (lol this blindfold means you won't see it and earplugs mean you won't hear it!)
