Chihayafuru 2 – 24

June 22, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Chihayafuru, reviews
Comments (24)

Enter the dragon.  Or should I say, dragons. Without any question, this has been the Karuta season on Chihayafuru – as a percentage of screen time, competitive matches are about 4-5X more prominent this season than they were in the first.   So it’s hardly surprising that the season should close […] Read more

Summer 2013 Season Preview

June 21, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Season Previews
Comments (64)

Summer is already here in Tokyo, even if anime still thinks it’s Spring. It’s pretty much a given that Summer is going to be a step-down from Spring for anime.  In fact, in any given year it’s most likely to be the weakest season, with a relatively smaller number of […] Read more

Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince – 12

June 21, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince, reviews
Comments (13)

If you were thinking of taking a week off from GKMP, this would probably be the one to do it. To say that not much was accomplished on this week’s Majestic Prince would be a pretty kind assessment.  Really, I consider this one step above a recap episode – maybe […] Read more

Kakumeiki Valvrave – 11

June 21, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Kakumeiki Valvrave, reviews
Comments (41)

I guess your take on this ep probably depends on the standard you use to measure. To say this is a tough episode to “grade” is putting it mildly.  On the one hand, I think it was the most conventionally successful Valvrave episode in the entire series, apart from the […] Read more

Hataraku Maou-sama – 12

June 21, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hataraku Maou-sama, reviews
Comments (15)

In terms of consistency, Hataraku Maou-sama is right up there with the best of them. The appeal of this series is both simple and complex.  It lies in the straightforward way it goes about things and the effortlessness that’s imbued in every frame, but the real trick is in making […] Read more

Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge – 12

June 20, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge, reviews
Comments (8)

Be careful what you wish for. indeed… It’s been clear pretty much since day one that Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge was a dark ride, but in many ways I think the episode took it farther down that road than any previously (and that’s saying something).  The normal rules don’t […] Read more

Kingdom 2 – 02

June 19, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Kingdom, reviews
Comments (11)

Sometimes the fiercest battles come without the raising of a single fist. There’s no question that Kingdom sports some of the finest writing of any series in the past year.  It stands out like a sore thumb for a multitude of reasons, that being only one: as a sweeping military/political […] Read more

Arata Kangatari – 10

June 18, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Arata Kangatari, reviews
Comments (3)

It’s all fun and games till someone loses an eye… The great Arata mash-up of 2013 is underway, and scheduled to run for the next two weeks.  Something, as they say, had to give – there was no way the adaptation was simply going to present about 20% of the […] Read more

Weekly Digest 06/17/13 – Haiyore! Nyaruko-chan, Mushibugyou

June 17, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Digests, Haiyore Nyaruko-san, Mushibugyou, reviews
Comments (6)

Sengoku warlords just keep turning up in the strangest places. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san – 10 I’ll say this much for Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, it’s definitely embraced the stupid unreservedly again.  I think the humor is about the same as it was in the first season, but a little bit of the novelty […] Read more

Suisei no Gargantia – 11

June 17, 2013Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Suisei no Gargantia
Comments (13)

More than ever, the split personality of this series is asserting its presence with authority. The ship has already sailed on Suisei no Gargantia being a masterpiece, or even the best series of the season – both of which certainly seemed like strong possibilities after the brilliant fourth episode.  But […] Read more
