Comedy wins the day, though giant bugs are always welcome. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 02 I think we all know what to expect from Haiyore at this point, but the good part is that it seems intent on delivering it. So far, at least, this season has echoed the better […] Read more
If you were worried that the magic would be gone, I think you can relax – Haiyore! is just as agreeably nuts as ever. This is a wholly unsurprising sequel, and it’s a wholly unsurprising show as well. Haiyore delivers what we expect most of the time, and that’s usually […] Read more
The cliffhanger of episode 11 left me wondering – was Haiyore! going to stick to its insane guns for the season finale, or sell out and go the conventional route? The answer, I guess, is somewhere in between. There are definitely screwball comedies where warmth is a big part of […] Read more
As always it’s a mixed bag with AGE – there’s some head-on-desk stuff here for sure – but on balance, this is the first ep in a while that makes me really curious to see what happens next. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 36 Firs things first – I think […] Read more
The idea that Ishihara might not be human actually explains a lot. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 35 Things are definitely getting interesting on AGE, as the pieces for what look like the last extended arc are falling into place. I’m once again struck by how emotionally tone-deaf Flit is. […] Read more
Come on Girls, just admit it – you’d do the same thing, if given half a chance… Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 34 The moment we’ve all been waiting for is upon us – Asemu (Toriumi Kousuke) is indeed back, but you can call him “Captain Ash”. He’s leading a […] Read more
I know this will come as a shock, but Zaeheart lost a battle. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 33 At least we’re starting to get some excuses for why Zaeheart continues to be owned by the generally incompetent Federation – some sort of mysterious plan whereby Ezelcant deliberately gives the […] Read more
As a fellow man I started to worry about Shun a long time ago. Kimi to Boku 2 – 08 Another excellent and very funny episode of KtB this week, and something of a return to the slightly bent quality the series has displayed at times. It seems that this […] Read more
Denial is more than just a river in Africa. Heterosexuality has been under dire threat this week – and no, I’m not talking about that other news story. No, it was the arrival of the King in Yellow (not the Queen in Yellow, mind you) that seems to be causing […] Read more
Most unwise pinky swear ever… Tasogare Otome x Amnesia – 05 If there’s one series of the Spring that I’m almost exactly on the fence about, it’s this one. It pleases me, bores me and irritates me in just about equal amounts. I really do like Kirie as a character […] Read more
