Ping Pong – 10
Who knew that Peco was Saint George all along? I can’t say this turn of events has been anything but predictable – the true course of Ping Pong has been laid in for much of the series, and it was only a question of how we were going to get […] Read more
Hitsugi no Chaika – 10
Whatever else you might say about Hitsugi no Chaika, it does seem to be heading in the right direction. I can’t shake the feeling that I’m in the middle of a D & D module when I’m watching an episode of Hitsugi no Chaika – one of the good eps, […] Read more
Non-binding H x H Manga Poll
The verdict is clear. Though honestly, there are so many spoilers in the comments section and Twitter that I’m not sure it makes a lot of difference whether I read the manga or not… How Should Guardian Enzo cover the Hunter X Hunter Manga? Read more
Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 133

That’s nice to hear, especially as we’re certainly not going to get another season – I’ve […] Read more

Against all odds, Gokukoku no Brynhildr got even more awesome. OP2: Virtue and Vice” by Fear, and loathing in Las Vegas I must confess I did a bit of a double-take when the new OP for Gokukoku no Brynhildr kicked in – I thought it was some kind of in-episode […] Read more
Game of Thrones – 39
“Helm’s Deep” “The Watchers on the Wall” Not much for me to do here, really – you saw it. And if you didn’t, you certainly shouldn’t be reading this post. The 9th episode of any Game of Thrones season can pretty much be assumed to mean one thing – epic. […] Read more
Ishhuukan Friends – 10
I’m starting to re-think a few of my assumptions about Isshuukan Friends. I know I said last week that this isn’t the sort of series that has villains, but Kujoe Hajime is starting to make me doubt myself a bit. At the very least, he’s doing a fine job of […] Read more
