Area no Kishi – 13
I’d have to check the archives carefully, but this may be the first ever case of an indirect kiss using an alien mask. Smart thinking, Nana! I’m enjoying Area no Kishi for the most part, but it feels as if the series has stagnated somewhat in dramatic terms. I’m still […] Read more
Senki Zesshou Symphogear – 13 (End) and Series Review
I think Symphogear may take the term “suspension of disbelief” to an all-time record level. In a good way. What do you get when you mix Gundam, Madoka Magica and TTGL and tell someone to make an anime out of it for $22.50 and a bag of chips? Probably something […] Read more
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 25
Oh, good – it’s Kaji Yuki! Why do you insist on torturing me, Japan? On the other hand, at least the good people at Sunrise had the courtesy to kill Leo quickly, so it wasn’t a total loss. I think this was something of a regression episode after the series […] Read more
Game of Thrones – 11
“The North Remembers” In a way, it’s too bad I’ve read the five extant novels in George R.R. Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” series in the last nine months, because it’s impossible for me to view the TV series in the same light as I did when I watched […] Read more
Mirai Nikki – 24
It would have been a lot of fun to watch this episode without knowing beforehand what was going to happen. I wonder if that’s possible, somehow. Perhaps traveling back in time… Gonna have to be careful with the front page caps this week, that’s for sure. Mirai Nikki is one […] Read more
First Impressions – Natsuiro Kiseki, Furusato Saisei: Nihon no Mukashi Banashi, Saint Seiya Omega
Have you ever felt your cosmo? Natsuiro Kiseki – 01 I certainly realize I’m not the target audience for this one, but there were enough unusual aspects to this 4 Girls@School premise to at least give me hope that it might catch my interest. The gimmick is that the girls […] Read more
First Impressions – Uchuu Kyoudai
If I had to pick one word to describe the premiere of Space Brothers, I think it would be “flawless”. OP: “Feel so Moon” by UNICORN Have you ever dreamed of going into space? I don’t know if it’s the same for girls, but as a boy, I don’t think […] Read more
Girls @ School, Nisio Isin and Tsundere KugiRie – An Appreciation
A new weekly feature on Lost in America where I celebrate the best of these genres, which I’ve neglected for far too long. Come on – you didn’t really think so, did you? Happy April 1st! Read more
Oreimo S2 Announced
Anime Contents Expo is happening this weekend, and all sorts of stuff is filtering out – including the entirely unsurprising news that Oreimo has been given a second season. This was inevitable given the popularity of the franchise, and while the first season was deeply flawed I enjoyed it a […] Read more
