Kaoru was strictly middle of the pack for me in the first season of Amagami SS, but I’m finding my preferences when it comes to heroines aren’t necessarily carrying over. There’s been a notable lack of imperative for much of this season. None of the episodes have been bad or […] Read more
It’s pretty hard to write seriously about Guilty Crown at this stage, so I guess the thing to do is not even bother trying. I suppose that ep has to go down as one of the most bizarre, over-the-top FUBARs of the last year in anime, and probably set the […] Read more
So why in the world would I start writing about a series right in the middle? It’s not easy to answer why I’d start covering Inu X Boku SS – at least intermittently – halfway through its run. There are lots of reasons, starting with the fact that almost all […] Read more
We have a cast list and PV below the fold… Cast List: Fukai Ao: Yuutaro Motoshiro Arata Naru: Kanako Miyamoto Flair Blanc: Ayaka Ohashi Elena Peoples: Chiaki Omigawa Truth: Kazuhiko Inoue OP – “Escape” from Hemenway ED – “stand by me” from Stereopony This series is already being massively dismissed […] Read more
So I’m thinking if you didn’t love this episode of Chihayafuru, this is definitely not the series for you… Whatever genre you want to lump this series in with – and I’m past worrying about it – my personal view is that it does an amazing number of things well. […] Read more

You know an anime is a good one when it can insert Kaji Yuuki into the cast and still not suck. I would describe this episode as extremely low-key compared to the first five, though there were certainly some examples of violence (it’s always the girls who perpetrate the violence […] Read more
I’m not sure I’ve laughed harder this year than I did when Mio reached back to pull down her skirt… Seriously, does that girl have no shame? We’ve pretty much confirmed that she’s always nude at home, and she wasn’t shy about sleeping that way in the same room as […] Read more
The first of this arc’s two episodes might have been the funniest Natsume Yuujinchou yet, but the tone shifted sharply in the conclusion, delivering one of the series’ darkest and most somber efforts. Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that as a matter of personal preference, I’m not as […] Read more
So if Steins;Gate can win fan polls for “Best Romance” of 2011, can Another with them for 2012? Yeah, I’ll get to all the X-Files stuff in a minute, and there’s certainly plenty of it this week. But really, Another would never rise above the level of interesting intellectual exercise […] Read more
