Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider - Episode 6

Subete ga F ni naru: The Perfect Insider

Episode Six: Crimson Resolve

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/62/df/ee/62dfeead673342d7c2006d8aa6c69455.jpg  
This episode is basically a recap of the previous events in the series.
The episode starts with Moe apologising to Saikawa-sensei, and them both returning to their co-workers who were still camping on the island.
Saikawa-sensei wants to make the mature decision and leave the island ASAP; after all, the murderer is obviously still around somewhere. However, Moe is really curious about all these mysteries and is determined to stay and get to the bottom of it all.

When they return back to their camp, Saikawa-sensei goes off on his own to think.
Meanwhile, Moe talks with her co-workers, and demands some alcohol.
Although Moe is 20, in Japan the drinking age is 21, so they give her some 'non-alcoholic beer' instead. Despite the fact that this beer is supposedly non-alcoholic, for some reason she still gets tipsy.
I don't know how that works. The placebo effect?
Regardless, Moe gets a bit lightheaded and she explains the mystery to her co-workers.
Saikawa-sensei is contemplating the mystery by himself.
There are a few mysterious points that they dwell on:

- Why were Magata's legs cut off?
Her arms were probably cut off so that the killer could dress her in the wedding gown easier.
But why her legs?

- Did Magata and her split personalities really write the letters in the computer?
If she did write the letters, then it meant that she knew that she would die prior to these events.
If she didn't, then obviously the letters were fabricated by the killer.
But why??
 
And the biggest mystery of all--
The calendar day marked with "SUBETE GA F NI NARU".
(Everything becomes F)
What does this mean?
We just don't know.

On a less serious note, Saikawa-sensei is wearing a shirt with a pink whale on it.
It says 'whale' on it as well.
Why does he like self-explanatory shirts so much?
His previous shirt had a picture of bread with "bread" written on it too!
(And where can I buy these shirts!)

Also, half way through this episode Moe starts wearing what appears to be oven mitts.
Why is she wearing oven mitts?
To be honest these characters' fashion sense is just as mysterious as the actual murders!

The guy from the lab comes down and talks to Saikawa-sensei.
He wants the fact that Magata is dead to remain a secret until they finish the project they are working on, and in the meantime, Magata's little sister is going to take her place as manager.
He offers Saikawa-sensei some cash as compensation, but Saikawa-sensei wont' have it.
He doesn't want Magata's death to be a secret.
He makes it very clear that he's going to leave the island on the next boat tomorrow.

However, later on that night, Moe and Saikawa-sensei have a semi-heart to heart conversation,
And they both decide that they can't just leave things as they are.
So they're going to stick behind on the island to investigate the murders.
Despite the fact that they are a university student and lecturer.
And I'm pretty sure that doesn't bless you with the powers of Sherlock Holmes.
Or gives you the right to snoop around places you have no right to be.

Saikawa-sensei promises the lab guy that Magata's death will be kept quiet, if they are allowed to investigate the premises further.
When they take a look at the surveillance footage of when Magata's body exited the room, Moe notices that the elevator changes levels. This indicates that at the exact moment that Magata came out, someone had called the elevator onto the roof.

Lastly, we are given another flashback.
This one continues directly after the last one;
A young Magata gave her uncle a knife as a present.
And as expected in the previous episode- she expects him to kill her parents.
However, he hesitates a little, and Magata takes the initiative and kills her mother.
Together, they then kill her father.
And the creepy doll 'Michiru' is covered in blood.

I must say, despite the fact that she just murdered her parents,
the younger version of Magata is super adorable.

I can just tell that Moe and Saikawa-sensei are totally going to regret not leaving when they had the chance.
But alas, if they had left,
we wouldn't have an anime to watch!

I rate this episode 8.5/10

two broke girls ---season one episode four

                                   two broke girls ---season one episode four


reference:http://www.hitfix.com/the-fien-print/lindsay-lohan-lands-2-broke-girls-guest-spot



I watched episode 4 today and as always I will explain what happened in this story, try to analyse the story and give my own opinion

So the story starts from Caroline found out that her teeth got some problem(tooth abrasion) and she needs the bite guard. But the 8 dollar one she bought form drag shop doesn’t fit her. So they went to see the really cheap dentist, they run away when they find out the people there are nasty. Caroline realised that they can get in her own house by open the skylight. Max was so surprised to see Caroline’s house as its full of her luxury shoes, bags and clothes. End up with max staying to enjoy the bath and she begins to realize how different their backgrounds are and they have a lot in common as well. They want to take some cloth to get some money by reselling them, max touches the wire by accident so they leave in 10 minutes. They find 200 dollars in her bag and they go to enjoy the sushi. And that is max’s first taste of sushi

The episode is kind of meaningful for the whole story as it is the first time that takes the audience to see how rich Caroline is by showing the room she used to lived in. this would impresses audience that these two girls are actually from totally different background. The thing is that they can still become good friend which makes their friendship looks more special.


I gave this 8.5/10

This show revolves around the lives of three physicists named Leonard, Sheldon and Raj, the engineer, Howard and the waitress, Penny.




(Image retrieved from: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pGLmKYoNttI/maxresdefault.jpg)

Summary
In this episode, Sheldon tried to work out what age he would be when he dies through calculating his ancestor’s deaths. His estimated age of death was 60 year old. Sheldon wished to prolong his life long enough for technology to become more advanced where it would be capable to input his consciousness into a robot so he can live forever. He changed his diet into healthier choices and started running in the morning with Penny. Sheldon thought his life would end because he had appendicitis but instead he was flatulent due to the brussel sprouts. When working out with Penny, he fell down the stairs and farted again. Sheldon gave up on maintaining the healthy daily routines therefore he created a robot that would perform daily tasks for him while he remained in his bedroom. He placed a screen with webcam on the robot so he can view and monitor the robot’s surroundings. There was tension when the robot was driven to work by Leonard which almost resulted in a car accident. Lastly at the Cheesecake Factory, Sheldon spotted Steve Wozniak and wanted him to sign his Apple device. Steve Wozniak agreed to give him a signature if he had the device with him. Sheldon left the safety of his bedroom and rushed to the Cheesecake Factory. In his haste, Sheldon fell down the stairs and broke the device.

Humour
Howard jokingly said that Raj knew Penny jogged by watching her with binoculars from his car. Raj was unable to talk to women therefore had to communicate through Raj to convey his message to Penny. He whispered in Howard’s ear and Howard stated that Raj would continue to watch her morning workout.

Score
7/10

High School Musical

High School Musical: Get in the Picture 


(Reference: http://cdn.blogs.sheknows.com/realitytvmagazine.sheknows.com/2008/08/high-school-musical-group-photo.jpg)

I watched the film called High School Musical. After watching it, I felt very happy and it touched me very much.It is an American film.It tells American high school students'life.American students are very different from our Chinese students.They are in high spirits when facing their lives and their out-of-class games are quite colorful. Main actress is a very beautiful girl called Gabriella. She was unconfident to sing at first.But a boy told her that she sang very well.Then they sang together happily. I think as long as you try your best,whether you fail or not,you will never regret.We must believe in ourselves forever. There is singing and dancing throughout the High School Musical movies.

The reality TV show, High School Musical: Get in the Picture, is based on the movies and also recorded at a high school. It is a music program  where contestants with previous performance backgrounds have the opportunity to improve their talents in singing and dancing. It is also a competition with an elimination progress. The winner gets to sign a contract with Disney and have their own music video which will appear in the closing credits of High School Musical 3.

Score: 6/10
