Brave 10 – 04 Pretty much all blood and guts this time as Brave 10 shows off its action credentials. The trip to Izumo culminates when the trio of Isanami, Saizou and Kakei arrive to find the shrine devastated, with no survivors – which Isanami feels an immense amount of […] Read more
Taichi Tuesdays might just be my favorite day of the week. If you stop by the Twitterverse from time to time, you may have noticed the term “Taichi Tuesdays” has gone a little viral. About time, I say, because I’d really like to see Chihayafuru get a little more love […] Read more
Episode four of “Daily Lives of High School Boys” is a perfect argument for why single-gender high schools are a bad idea. This show is really proving itself to be adept at pretty much any form of comedy it tries, as witness the fact that this week’s episode was […] Read more
Memo to self: take the stairs. It’s all about aerobic exercise, though – that’s definitely the only reason. It’s becoming obvious to me that I really can’t cover Another like I could a normal series. I want to gush again about how great this show is at creating a mood, […] Read more

Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam – 14 Believe it or not, I take no pleasure in the heaps of abuse Fam (the character, not the show) has been receiving lately. I really hoped she’d come around and vindicate her presence in the series. The fully duality of Last Exile: Fam […] Read more
Pretty much everything in Bakuman is going to hell in a handbasket at the moment. I’m pissed off at pretty much everyone and everything in it – but in the end, I guess that’s much better than not caring at all. At the moment, maybe the one I feel most […] Read more
It seems pretty fitting that the “Hunter Vocabulary” this week was “too bad”, because that seems to be the mantra of anyone who crosses Killua’s path. There was really no way this episode was going to live up to the colossal blockbuster that was episode 16, and it didn’t really […] Read more
