A new GAINAX series is always a landmark for me. This series is definitely a case of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object for me. The force is my dislike for the writing style of Nisio Isin, whose other works range from unwatchable to very unwatchable to my taste. […] Read more
There’s no denying it – these two episodes of Hyouge Mono were pretty darn spectacular. As I’ve said before, it’s almost a shame that the death of Oda and the struggle that followed didn’t actually play out this way, because it’s an amazingly interesting take on Sengoku-era Japanese history. Dedicated to the […] Read more
It’s fair to say that the first two episodes of Accel World exceeded my expectations in every way. You may want to check out your window for flying pigs (appropriate with this show) because I’ve actually found a role where I don’t hate Kaji Yuki. In fact, it’s (shudder) possible […] Read more
So this is what Watsuki is up to. I’m not sure how I feel about this yet, but I don’t think I like it much. The May issue of Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine revealed on Wednesday that Nobuhiro Watsuki’s new Kenshin manga series, Rurouni Kenshin -Cinema-ban- (Rurouni Kenshin: Cinema Version), […] Read more

The more things change, the more they stay the same. OP: Zutto” (“Forever”) by Tomohisa Sakō Japan’s five most metrosexual teen boys are back, and that means more slumber parties, more random cat shots, more genki Irino Miyu, and quite a few laughs. This series does for male slice-of-life what […] Read more
Office pools are starting all over the world, as the brackets for the 2012 Aniblog Tourney are out. I hope you’ll support Lost in America – remember, the tournament starts 4/15. Read more
I’d have to check the archives carefully, but this may be the first ever case of an indirect kiss using an alien mask. Smart thinking, Nana! I’m enjoying Area no Kishi for the most part, but it feels as if the series has stagnated somewhat in dramatic terms. I’m still […] Read more
I think Symphogear may take the term “suspension of disbelief” to an all-time record level. In a good way. What do you get when you mix Gundam, Madoka Magica and TTGL and tell someone to make an anime out of it for $22.50 and a bag of chips? Probably something […] Read more
