Here’s a very funny short video shot for Yoyogi Anime Academy, featuring the star of Thermae Romae. I wonder now if NoitaminA wishes they’d contracted for a full season, given how popular the franchise seems to have become, mostly thanks to the live-action. 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
“Valar Morghulis” It’s tough to face a season finale of Game of Thrones, no doubt about it. Ten episodes simply isn’t enough – as soon as I feel my appetite is whet, it’s time for another ten-month break. Brutal, I tells ya – and I already know what’s going to happen (apart […] Read more
Why do I get the feeling that every Hyou-ka planning meeting starts with “You know what would look really cool?” So help me, I’ve really come to like this show a lot, but it’s devilishly hard to blog about. It’s hard to even say why I like it, apart from […] Read more

There’s an ugly side to love that’s never far from the surface, especially in the full splendor of youth. What a dramatic change of pace this was from last week’s blockbuster, game-changer of an episode. Possessiveness is a theme that’s been touched on before in MGX, but not with the […] Read more
List of people not to piss off: 2. Gon Freecss It’s interesting to muse on just who the scarier character is, Gon or Killua. On the surface it’s easy to say Killua. He’s an assassin by training, with what can only be called an erratic moral compass. He’s a master […] Read more
“When Extremes Meet” MeeSami is born? Smooth Man, smooth – “You’re pretty, can I have some of your hair?” is surely the perfect pickup line. Will this beautiful lady be able to resist Meelo’s charms? Indeed, I thought all of the Tenzin children were quite humorous and charming this week […] Read more
