Meanwhile, somewhere South of Amarillo… Our long international nightmare is over – over three endless weeks of recaps, Space Brothers finally comes back with a new episode. I only hope they didn’t piss off a lot of fans so much that they lost interest in the series – bringing new […] Read more
There’s more than a little JoJo in Attack on Titan, now that I think about it. Kakumeiki Valvrave gets a lot of flak (not entirely without reason) for being a bit of a scattershot affair, but I’m not sure why Shingeki no Kyojin seems largely immune from it. While certainly […] Read more
It feels like summer, but the calendar says April. I’m truly frightened about what’s to come. Next week is a Golden Week here in Japan, and a precious week off from school (and for most of the country, work). Sadly, financial issues make a trip impossible and anyway, Golden Week […] Read more
Last week, I described Chihayafuru as “exquisite torture”. If I were to say that again today, I’d be half right. I’d almost allowed myself to believe that this day wouldn’t come for S2, but sadly we have a recap episode. As brutal as this season has been to follow with […] Read more
Things are changing quite a bit with Hataraku Maou-sama. I don’t think it’s a surprise, but we’re at the point now where we’re going to find out if this series can be as effective a drama as it was a straight-up comedy. Mind you, there’s still some humor there, but […] Read more
Yeah, still Sunrise all right. If you’re expecting me to defend the inexplicable occurrences and general outlandishness of Kakumeiki Valvrave, you’ll be disappointed because I have no intention of doing so. In spite of that, though, I still find the show a very fun watch. Check your credulity at the […] Read more
Four episodes in, I’ve reached a conclusion about Majestic Prince – I kind of like it. Ginga Kikotai Majestic Prince – 04 I said in the Spring Check-in that the fourth episode was going to be very telling as to whether this series had the chops to pull off what […] Read more
Surprisingly enough, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge got even weirder this week. And nothing could please me more. I often run across anime that prompt me to wonder just what the money people were thinking when they agreed to produce it. Dansai Bunri certainly fits the bill there – this […] Read more
Slowly but surely, RDG is staking its claim to be one of the top shows of the Spring, just as I expected. What an odd show this is, in so many ways. I don’t know how many people are watching it, and when they are if they are (pageviews for […] Read more
Arata Kangatari is certainly showing no signs of panic, considering the realities of the calendar. While things are zipping along nicely, I’m still quite unsure where Satelight is headed with this adaptation. They continue to adapt the manga at a pace of a little more than three chapters per episode […] Read more
