Sankarea – 06

May 11, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Sankarea
Comments (15)

Excellence all-around on Sankarea this week. This show never stopped being really good, and I think I should say that up front.  I’ve commented often on it’s weirdly discordant nature, which is one of the best things about it.  But what Sankarea did this week was recapture something of the […] Read more

Poll: “Korra X…”

May 11, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAvatar: The Legend of Korra, Polls, Television
Comments (1)

Poll: "Korra x…" This one was close all the way, as expected, with Bolin just holding off his brother in the end. It’ll be interesting to see how everyone feels in a year or so. Read more

Lupin III: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna – 06

May 11, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Lupin III, reviews
Comments (31)

OK – who the heck thought that was a good idea? I’m going to say my piece and get out of the way pretty quickly here, because nothing good can come of analyzing this ep too deeply.  I suspect this is the ep that’s going to divide those who’ve drunk the Okada […] Read more

Sakamichi no Apollon – 05

May 11, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Sakamichi no Apollon
Comments (6)

“Realism” is a term that gets thrown around almost as much as “slice-of-life”, and likewise incorrectly most of the time – but Sakamichi no Apollon is that rare series that earns the descriptor. I can see where this episode might not be to everyone’s tastes, because it was certainly the […] Read more

Tsuritama – 05

May 10, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Tsuritama
Comments (8)

How is it possible for an anime to make me smile so much in 22 minutes? It occurs to me in watching Tsuritama that if the four main characters were girls, this series would likely be hugely popular.  It’s superb on so many levels and quite unique, and deserving of […] Read more

Shirokuma Café – 06

May 10, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Shirokuma Cafe
Comments (7)

Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side… Once you surrender yourself to the central conceit of Shirokuma Café, stuff like what happened in this week’s episode in almost at the level of genius.  This might have been my favorite ep so far, because it had a cohesiveness through […] Read more

Shouwa Monogatari – 06

May 10, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Shouwa Monogatari
Comments (3)

“Tilting at Windmills Wednesday” continues with another show with an, er, exclusive following… When you stop and think about it, there are very, very few anime that focus on what Shouwa Monogatari focuses on – the hard struggles of lower-middle class people to make ends meet.  Not everyone in anime […] Read more

Ginga e Kickoff – 04

May 9, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Ginga e Kickoff, reviews
Comments (8)

Today’s Afterschool Special: “Let’s Make Friends With the Drunk Guy in the Park!” The best show you’re almost certainly not watching continues to be great fun, and I’ll continue to talk to the four people who are watching.  As I’ve said already, everything about Ginga e Kickoff is just better than you […] Read more

Jormungand – 05

May 9, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Jormungand, reviews
Comments (6)

With this episode, clearly, Jormungand has stepped up to claim its place as one of the best shows of the season. This has been an extraordinarily faithful adaptation of Takahashi Keitarou’s manga so far – more so than I expected in fact, given how unconventional the first volume of the […] Read more

Zetman – 06

May 8, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Zetman
Comments (6)

I think the greatest compliment I can pay to Zetman is that I’m still wrapped up in it, despite suffering from whiplash  trying to keep up and keep it all straight. One of the fundamental tenets of superhero mythology is that being a superhero is a burden.  Superpowers carry a […] Read more
