Samurai Flamenco – 04

November 1, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Samurai Flamenco
Comments (12)

That was a pretty good example of how a series can turn on a dime. If you want a dramatic shift, Samurai Flamenco could be just the show you’re looking for.  We went from last week’s unequalled (this season) explosion of pure fun to a sometimes pretty ugly and even […] Read more

Nagi no Asukara – 05

November 1, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Nagi no Asukara, reviews
Comments (21)

Classic Okada, that one – for better and for worse. Here’s what I said in my spirited defense of Nagi no Asukara after the third episode: I am aware that there’s a certain manipulative quality to the writing here, as there is in much of Okada’s work.  I’m not blind, […] Read more

Kyousougiga – 04

October 31, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Kyousougiga, reviews
Comments (20)

Yep, still great. I’m seriously starting to worry about Kyousogiga.  It’s not so much the show itself – although approaching the halfway point of a series that has a chance to be a masterpiece, there’s definitely a “Please, for the love of God don’t screw this up!” thing going on […] Read more

Fall 2013 Straw Poll

October 31, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Polls, Season Reviews
Comments (6)

The people’s choice was clear this time around. Thanks for participating in the straw poll, which gave a clear win to Kyoukai no Kanata.  Happily, that’s the one on the list that looks like it’s going to make the cut – the last two eps have been much better.  Yozakura […] Read more

Weekly Digest 10/31/13 – Kyoukai no Kanata, Tokyo Ravens

October 31, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Digests, reviews
Comments (10)

One stays, one goes. Kyoukai no Kanata – 05 It’s funny, but somewhere along the line KyouKan has leveled up a little and it’s hard to say exactly why.  The last two eps have certainly been the best – it’s a bit more self-apparent with #4, which was simply the […] Read more

Tokyo Diaries – Kameido Tenjinja

October 31, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedJapan, Japanese Culture, Tokyo Diaries
Comments (15)

There’s nothing like a Shrine visit to break up the routine. It’s strictly a coincidence and nothing to do with Gingitsune, but I paid a visit to Kameido Tenjinja in Eastern Tokyo today.  The weather was perfect and I was in dire need of a mental health day, and the […] Read more

Chihayafuru 2 – Waga Mi You ni Furu Nagame Seshi Ma ni (OVA)

October 31, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorized
Comments (11)

It wasn’t what I hoped it’d be, but there’s never a bad time for more Chihayafuru. So – all that stuff I said about watching the Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun OVA with a heavy heart?  Ditto here – but with the one caveat being that there’s at least a chance we’ll […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 102

October 30, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (7)

If I were to slap an idiom on that episode, it would be “Still Waters Run Deep”. Lest anyone think I’m unnecessarily bashing, let me re-state for the nth time – I like Shingeki no Kyoujin, and rather a lot too.  Not only that but I think it’s rather good […] Read more

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun: Tonari no Gokudou-kun (OAD)

October 29, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, reviews, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Comments (10)

I can never watch one of these without big-time mixed-emotions. Ah, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun – another great anime that tanked commercially.  My endorsement (I ranked it #6 in a quite strong 2012) is surely the kiss of death for any series, but no matter how many times it happens it […] Read more

Yowamushi Pedal – 04

October 29, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Yowamushi Pedal
Comments (27)

We had Hunter X Hunter 101 last week, and this week it’s Cycling 101. This was a pretty simple episode of Yowamushi Pedal structurally, but it was pretty effective (as usual) in getting the job done.  And it fits, because as clever and sneaky-subtle as this show is it really […] Read more
