In this week’s edition of Kuroko, we learn that there are actually five players on a basketball team. I’ll be honest – I could have blogged KnB yesterday, but I really didn’t want to think about basketball after seeing Derrick Rose go down with an ACL tear during the meaningless […] Read more
I’m beginning to get a sense of just why this manga is among the most honored in recent memory. It would be so easy to overlook Space Brothers in the flood of equally great but flashier anime this Spring. This has nothing to recommend it apart from preternaturally incisive examination […] Read more
When you’re twelve years old and freakishly gifted, the line between courage and stupidity is a little blurry at times… It didn’t strike me when I was watching last week’s episode, or even immediately as I watched this week, but in a sly way I really think Hisoka was doing Gon and […] Read more
I guess the three eps leading up to this were the normal part of MGX, because this week things got really weird. I have another twist on my theory regarding the symbolism of the whole drool thing, but I’ll get to that in a minute as I think enough stuff […] Read more
Can’t say this was a hard one to see coming… Where’s Freddie Mercury when you need him? Two things mentioned here last week, a “death of the week” scenario and Tokiomi being the next Master to face the axe, are certainly looking good so far. I don’t know whether we’ll […] Read more

I believe NOAA has issued a shipping forecast calling for choppy seas ahead… This post is full of spoilers about this week’s Korra episode, so beware before reading. Well, the last three minutes of that episode were certainly the most interesting – especially this 10-second stretch – but the rest […] Read more
Wow – that sure got down to business pretty quick. I’m not at all sure what I make of the events of this episode of Accel World. We start off where we left off, with Haru exploring Chiyuri’s backdoor (stop that). His cable may not be as long as Taku’s, […] Read more
Trying to get a handle on this series is like trying to hit a moving target. Sankarea is another one of the weird but fascinating shows this season, quite unlike anything else I’ve seen. Sometimes I find myself wondering, “Can this possibly be DEEN?” as I watch the gorgeous landscapes and spectacular […] Read more
