I don’t know about you, but when Miura said “But that would make me totally useless” I threw up in my mouth a little… Here’s my basic take on what’s happening here: The two smartest people in Bakuman are Hattori and Eiji. The Two most talented people in Bakuman and […] Read more
Speaking as a huge fan of the manga, I’m extremely pleased with what Asread did with the chapters that made up this week’s episode – some of the most important of Mirai Nikki, and among my favorites. I’ve said this before, but I think the breakneck pacing that the […] Read more
I guess it’s time to start a pool on which episode Arisa dies. Brave 10 – 08 At long last, Brave 10 can live up to its title. Too bad we only have four eps left to see it in action. With the addition of pirate Nezu Jinpachi (Nakai Kazuya) […] Read more
Mouretsu Pirates – 08 To be honest, I’m having a hard time coming up with anything new to say about Mouretsu Pirates. There isn’t a whole lot of change from week to week in terms of character or mood – it’s all classy, civilized and sanitized for your protection. Ideologically […] Read more
For as much consternation as it caused among the viewers, the rift between Hibiki and Miku was settled quickly – and in a rather straightforward and believable way. If you don’t believe me about the kerfuffle, check out places like MAL and AF – the fans have been raging about […] Read more

It would be hard to imagine a S;G fan not enjoying this bonus episode, because it managed to hit pretty much all the right buttons. It’s great to have Steins;Gate back, if you’ll allow me to state the obvious. This was one of the best series of 2011 (I had […] Read more
Same studio, same characters – but it’s amazing how much more innocent this anime-original season of Amagami SS is. I’ll stand by my contention that Junichi and Kaoru are one of the more pleasant couples in this series to watch, if not the most exciting. They have a nice chemistry […] Read more
I think I’ve been pretty patient with Guilty Crown, and I thought I was all-in on the silliness of it. But I might finally have reached my limit. This episode makes me think of a chef working at a restaurant late at night, when he looks around and sees all […] Read more
Low-key? This show is so relaxed it should put you into a coma to match the one it sometimes seems to be in – but somehow, it just zips by and keeps me entertained. In addition to the Petopeto-san vibe, one thing I definitely enjoy about Inu X Boku is […] Read more
