Most unwise pinky swear ever… Tasogare Otome x Amnesia – 05 If there’s one series of the Spring that I’m almost exactly on the fence about, it’s this one. It pleases me, bores me and irritates me in just about equal amounts. I really do like Kirie as a character […] Read more
“The Old Gods and the New” Well, Dear Readers, you and I are finally in the same boat this season – because I had no effing idea what was going to happen most of the time. This was the first time more things were changed that faithful to the book, […] Read more
I confess I’m quite baffled as to where Gundam AGE is headed with this final arc. Gundam has, over the years, mostly earned a reputation as an anti-war franchise. In my personal view that’s a bit of an oversimplification, but it’s more or less correct most of the time (how’s […] Read more
Wait a minute – a grouchy, self-involved layabout who solves mysteries with his team, usually based on the principle “everybody lies”? Hmm… While there’s still not all that much “there” there with Hyou-ka, it’s kind of fun being nowhere with it. The formula could hardly be simpler, but it’s undeniably […] Read more
Sometimes when it comes to sports shounen, weird is good. While I’m still not 100% sold on the character side of Kuroko no Basuke yet, what’s becoming clearer as we progress is that this is a series with a decidedly weird sense of humor. In a genre where one of […] Read more
I don’t want to complain, but all this superbly written anime is getting a bit monotonous. I may need to do a re-watch of Guilty Crown to break up the weekends. Hirata Hiroaki really is a marvel. I had a hard time believing he could top his performance as Kotetsu […] Read more
Guardian Enzo, LIA, 4/14/12: If you’re going with Mako, why not KoKo? Much catchier – might win the war right there… Bryan Konietzko, tumblr, 5/5/12: You guys have the shipping names all wrong: it’s Koko and Kolin. Love, Brychael. Just sayin’… Read more
Why do I get the feeling that this series just started? Every time anime blogging begins to feel a little too much like work (and I know I’m blogging too many shows this season) it’s Hunter X Hunter I crave, because it’s like a vacation. This show is just too […] Read more
Great anime romance comes in many different flavors, but none stranger than MGX. I thought Nazo no Kanojo X was just slightly off its game last week. It was still a very good episode, but the first one that didn’t quite “wow” me. Well, not so this week as things […] Read more
Korra is certainly fundamentally different than the original Avatar on every level when it comes to the romantic side of the equation. Bryke just aren’t messing about here, are they? “The only guy she had eyes for” – right in the recap? LOL – talk about getting to the point! […] Read more
