Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 21 The dynamic of AGE is definitely more interesting in this second round, with the added elements of the father-son relationship and the enemy now having names and faces – not to mention the hints that Romary (who should be Asemu’s future girl by the […] Read more
Well, I guess those rumors that Madhouse would be toning down that side of Hisoka’s personality can be put to rest… It’s great to have H x H back after a hiatus week – it’s so unlike anything else in my blogging rotation that I really missed having it around. […] Read more
Genjuro, you naughty boy – not only do you have a secret girl on the side, but she has her own apartment… The angst level has been turned way down the last couple of weeks on Senshogear, but I can’t help but think it’s all just setting us up for […] Read more
“The Princess and the Pilot” It occurs to me that I may be guilty of selling Madhouse short as a studio – and I may not be the only one. I almost never think of them as one of the very top tier of animation studios, but they produce an […] Read more
Yes, this is an excellent idea – scare the crap out of the kid who had the heart transplant. I’m very much of two minds about this episode of Area no Kishi. On the one hand, it’s nice to see Nana in action on the pitch at last, and she […] Read more

It’s liberating in a way to know that whatever I say about this show is going to piss somebody off. For a series so many people love to hate, it sure engenders some strong opinions. My view on episode 19 – it was better than the last two (hell, less […] Read more
Why Rei, Why?? There’s a basic conflict with Inu X Boku for me. Soushi and Ririchiyo have to be exactly who they are to drive the premise – their relationship is the very essence of the show. Yet their nature and their relationship – at least for me – is […] Read more
Of all the shows I blog, this one might come closest to being strictly for myself, judging by the sparsity of views and comments. And that’s really too bad, because it’s a worthwhile series. In some ways I think you could argue that this is the best show BONES has […] Read more
