It’s just so wrong, yet so right. And just like that, we’re squarely back in the realm of discomfort comedy that Osomatsu-san seems most comfortable inhabiting. The thing about this series is that it isn’t just a bunch of dick jokes and sight gags – though it does have plenty […] Read more
Furuya noticed something about another person? Did that really just happen? The next couple of weeks on Daiya no A figured to be pretty tough. The focus is going to be on two secondary teams while we’re forced to wait on what Seidou’s team is going to look like in […] Read more
Wait for it – it’s coming. If the ultimate test of whether a series is working or not is whether you feel anything for the characters (worry, for example) Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans is definitely working for me. I think it’s a testament to the experience and savvy […] Read more

There’s an awful lot of symbolism at play in this week’s episode of Ushio to Tora. It’s hard to believe we’re already staring down the barrel of Episode 24, because this series has flown by in what seems like the blink of an eye. I think that’s a particular advantage […] Read more
I never thought I’d see No.6 and Fractale back on NoitaminA… Ultimately, I suppose, any mystery series is going to come down to the mystery for better or for worse – and this episode was definitely all about the mystery. Fortunately this… Well – what was it? Not a denouement, […] Read more
