For a show that was so far off my radar screen that I forgot it was even on the schedule until the first episode aired, Brave 10 turned out to be pretty good. There wasn’t too much unpredictable about this series, and that applies to the finale, which pretty much […] Read more
I’ve been screaming for Flame Haze deaths for weeks, but wouldn’t you know it – when they finally off one, it’s the one I actually wanted to live. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 23 The dogs of war are definitely barking on Gundam AGE now. It was an interesting choice […] Read more
I’m not one to say, but I would think the last few eps of AGE might have satisfied even a few hard-core Gundam fans. Shakugan no Shana III – 22 Not much new to report this week. Lots of explosions and combat between characters I barely know and don’t really […] Read more
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 21 The dynamic of AGE is definitely more interesting in this second round, with the added elements of the father-son relationship and the enemy now having names and faces – not to mention the hints that Romary (who should be Asemu’s future girl by the […] Read more
I guess it’s time to start a pool on which episode Arisa dies. Brave 10 – 08 At long last, Brave 10 can live up to its title. Too bad we only have four eps left to see it in action. With the addition of pirate Nezu Jinpachi (Nakai Kazuya) […] Read more
Shakugan no Shana III – 19 That was certainly an eventful episode – a bit too heavy in all the mind-numbing avalanche of “Shana” side characters and terminology, but action-packed nonetheless. I rather liked the fact that the trick to the Giralda wasn’t that it would consume the user’s power […] Read more
Brave 10 – 05 I’m kind of coasting along in a holding pattern with Brave 10. It’s easy to watch and competently produced, but really isn’t doing much to excite me. Somehow the writing feels very by-the-books to me – while the characters have a sort of iconic quality to […] Read more
Brave 10 – 04 Pretty much all blood and guts this time as Brave 10 shows off its action credentials. The trip to Izumo culminates when the trio of Isanami, Saizou and Kakei arrive to find the shrine devastated, with no survivors – which Isanami feels an immense amount of […] Read more
Brave 10 – 03 It’s always fun to see a good old-fashioned samurai/ninja period piece, even if this one is aimed more at Higashi-Ikebukuro than Akihabara or the middle school. As always, Brave 10 is fun in it’s slightly gender-bending and silly way, with this week mostly being taken up […] Read more
In Xanadu, a stately pleasure dome did Kublai Khan decree… Gundam AGE – 14 I guess part of the fun of being a GUNDAM fan is knowing exactly what’s coming, and waiting for it to happen. But that didn’t lessen the sadness for me one bit. Ah Yurin, sweet, Yurin […] Read more
