It seems as if the best course of action at this point is to accept Psycho-Pass for what it is rather than worry about what it isn’t, especially as what it is is a pretty solid show all things considered. I think the gloves are pretty much off now as […] Read more
“Snow Drop” I read this chapter a couple of days ago but to be honest, I had to give myself a little time to cool down before I blogged it. I was really, really pissed off at Jyougasaki-san (as silly as it is to be pissed at a fictional character) […] Read more
In a way, this ep of Robotics;Notes has the feeling of a sort of “Take that!” to the show’s countless critics. I haven’t watched this week’s Psycho-Pass yet, but it’s undeniably interesting that after it offered us a reflective and character-driven ep last week, R;N chimes in with a supremely […] Read more
I’m not sure which is sexier, a girl in a loincloth with a rocket launcher on her shoulder or a schoolgirl in uniform with a really big sword. But either way, it’s fun having to think about it. As you may have noticed Zetsuen no Tempest is the series from […] Read more

Has that long-awaited moment family come? It’s always been pretty obvious that Bakuman is as much as anything a love story, but an unconventional one – a chronicle of the authors’ undying love for the art of manga, and the people who dedicate their lives to it. That’s a noble […] Read more
There’s something to be said for finishing a season with your best material ever. I’m very much divided about Kingdom. On the one hand, I can’t help but think with regret about what might have been. If this series had been animated in grand style by Production I.G. or BONES, […] Read more
“Measuring Up” I really can’t take many more chapters like this one. It’s getting to the point now where Karluk and Amira are getting dangerously close to becoming one of my favorite manga or anime couples of all time. I don’t know how it’s possible for Mori-sensei to make a […] Read more
