Nagi no Asukara – 25

March 28, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Nagi no Asukara, reviews
Comments (25)

Oh, dear… My experience with anime has been that it’s usually far easier to drop shows earlier than later, at least from a blogging perspective.  Once shows have an established fanbase and viewers feel pot-committed, they often get very hostile towards anyone who criticizes that series – we certainly saw […] Read more

Spring 2014 Season Preview

March 27, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Season Previews
Comments (142)

The Winter of our discontent is drawing to a close, and it looks as if Spring is going to be a considerably better season for anime fans. Even by Winter’s normally low standards, 2014 was a rough one for anime.  A few strong carryovers and a few very good shows […] Read more

Witch Craft Works – 12 (End) and Series Review

March 27, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Series Reviews
Comments (8)

It might seem to be damning with faint praise to see that the best thing about a series was its ending theme, but this was a damn fine ED… I just can’t muster the motivation to write a long series review post on Witch Craft Works, and judging by the […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 122

March 26, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (22)

Time is definitely an elastic concept with Hunter X Hunter. Among the many things I must credit Togashi and Koujina-sensei with, it seems one is temporal manipulation, because there’s no way in hell that was 22 minutes.  In terms of real-time it seems as if this might have been one […] Read more

Yowamushi Pedal – 24

March 25, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Yowamushi Pedal
Comments (11)

This just in: both of Izumida’s pecs have been suspended for blood doping. Abs!  Abs!  Abs!  Abs! This was definitely the week Yowamushi Pedal got its freak on.  It was certainly entertaining, but I confess this isn’t the side of the series I like best – with guys talking to […] Read more

Tonari no Seki-kun – 12

March 25, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Tonari no Seki-kun
Comments (0)

I guess some things really are the same in Japan as they are in America. This week finds the master of killing time engaged in an activity teens everywhere are familiar with – studying the rules of the road and preparing for his road test.  Except several years too early, […] Read more

Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta – 12

March 25, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta, Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku
Comments (4)

It’s not every anime that reaches the end before it reaches the end. I confess I thought going in that this was the final episode of Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta, so it was rather a surprise to discover it was coming back next week.  That certainly helps, given that […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Hikawa Jinja

March 24, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (4)

In the name of Mars, I will chastise you! Today’s outing took me to Hikawa Jinja.  It’s one of the seemingly endless atmospheric and beautiful Shrines hidden all over Tokyo, but might be best known as the inspiration for the Shrine in the anime version of Sailor Moon – the […] Read more

Space Dandy – 12

March 24, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Space Dandy
Comments (6)

The comedy is back in a big way this week, but… I’m having a hard time looking at Space Dandy as the same straightforward free-association comedy I once thought it was.  There’s no question that themes have started to emerge over the last several episodes, coming together under the general […] Read more

Noragami – 12 (End) and Series Review

March 24, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Noragami, reviews, Series Reviews
Comments (43)

It’s shows like Noragami that give predictability a good name. Noragami was many things, but among the most prominent was consistent.  All season long it duked it out for best new series  – albeit of a weak season – with Space Dandy and Hoozuki no Reitetsu.  And while the anime-original […] Read more
