While it’s no secret that any episode that looks closely at Killua’s soul is going to go to a very dark place, I was surprised by the way the remainder of the hunter exam’s final phase played out. For me, Killua has always been the saddest character of all the […] Read more
The title of this episode was “Towards the Fate That Never Stops Assailing Us”, and it would be hard to do a better job of summing up the overall feel of this series than that. What a fascinating contrast we have in our two Saturday Sci-fi series, Senshogear and Mouretsu […] Read more
I don’t want to make too much of unintentional symbolism, but you’d be hard pressed to find a line that sums up this show better than “Let’s finish this – I have school tomorrow.” Mouretsu Pirates has a lot in common with it’s main character. Both are likable, attractive, and very […] Read more
It’s pretty clear that neither the mangaka or the director of this adaptation was too worried about unrealistically building up Araki Ryuuichi, but the shaft of light from the heavens as he walked (floated?) onto the pitch may just have been a bit much… I suppose I’m just going to […] Read more
As “Arrietty” has just begun a theatrical release, I thought it would be a good idea to top this review. Remember, this is for the subtitled version – I’ve also seen the Disney dub and I can tell you it’s decent, though nowhere near as good (shocking, I know). David […] Read more
Kaoru was strictly middle of the pack for me in the first season of Amagami SS, but I’m finding my preferences when it comes to heroines aren’t necessarily carrying over. There’s been a notable lack of imperative for much of this season. None of the episodes have been bad or […] Read more
It’s pretty hard to write seriously about Guilty Crown at this stage, so I guess the thing to do is not even bother trying. I suppose that ep has to go down as one of the most bizarre, over-the-top FUBARs of the last year in anime, and probably set the […] Read more
So why in the world would I start writing about a series right in the middle? It’s not easy to answer why I’d start covering Inu X Boku SS – at least intermittently – halfway through its run. There are lots of reasons, starting with the fact that almost all […] Read more
We have a cast list and PV below the fold… Cast List: Fukai Ao: Yuutaro Motoshiro Arata Naru: Kanako Miyamoto Flair Blanc: Ayaka Ohashi Elena Peoples: Chiaki Omigawa Truth: Kazuhiko Inoue OP – “Escape” from Hemenway ED – “stand by me” from Stereopony This series is already being massively dismissed […] Read more
So I’m thinking if you didn’t love this episode of Chihayafuru, this is definitely not the series for you… Whatever genre you want to lump this series in with – and I’m past worrying about it – my personal view is that it does an amazing number of things well. […] Read more
