Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge is a series that was always true to itself, and the finale is no exception. The best series of Spring 2013 comes to an end, and it really shouldn’t be any surprise that it did so in brilliant fashion. We see so many misfires in […] Read more
Kingdom has so many big personalities I’m surprised they can all fit on the screen. This episode continues the theme of the last – that not all wars are fought on the battlefield, and that when soldiers die, the reach of the arm that wields the killing weapon can be […] Read more
One to go? Hard to believe. I still can’t quite complete the mental connection confirming that Arata Kangatari is down to the final episode. It seems so utterly absurd on the face of it when watching the anime, and the most incredible thing is that I still don’t really have […] Read more
Han Megumi is all mixed up with giant bugs everywhere you look these days… Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 11 All in all I think this was one of the livelier and funnier eps of the second season of Haiyore!, with Nyaruko at probably the least annoying she’s been at any […] Read more
Surprised? No. Pleased? Pretty much yes. There’s a certain “what might have been” quality to Suisei no Gargantia, even more so than the natural one that goes along with any series that started out looking like it could be great and ended up being very good. What might have happened […] Read more
With a week to go before Google Reader joins the choir invisible, I thought I should talk about it briefly. I use Google Reader though, truth be told, losing it won’t be a big deal for me. RSS aggregators are still a major component of the blogging world, though, even […] Read more
Togashi isn’t making my job any easier. God damn – how many gears does this man have? How is it possible to reach into the well time after time and not only never come up dry, but with sweeter and sweeter water at every turn? Every time I think Hunter […] Read more
Predictable, but so far at least, effective. As I theorized in this space last week, Dr. Sharon’s illness does indeed turn out to be the same one that claimed Serika’s father. Given that we were told (and reminded) that this illness was a “very rare disease that’s difficult to diagnose” […] Read more
At this point, it seems as if you can pretty much fill in the blanks of an episode of Attack on Titan before it starts. I’ve been trying to remember another action shounen that moves as slowly as Shingeki no Kyoujin does, and it’s not easy. It is a tale. […] Read more
“Meeting the Batan” Normally the most adorable couple in the universe arm-wrestling would be the headline, but that’s not the case here. For my money, Otoyomegatari is the best manga running (though with hundreds of them out there, that’s obviously narrowed down to the ones I read). In terms of […] Read more
