“It turned out just like a manga sketch…” The first skit was definitely the winner this week, delivering some huge laughs as it revealed another of Ika Musume’s seemingly endless talents. The subject this week was art, as Takeru’s homework assignment to draw a picture gets derailed by an approaching […] Read more
Well, we’ve finally reached the point of no return – the twincest moment this series has been building up to since the first episode. Whether the first 9 eps were just a “dream” or not, the Sora story is clearly the main attraction here no matter what one may feel […] Read more
What should be have this week but a new character, 10 episodes into a 12-episode run. And she’s a live wire, this Kanakana-chan – possibly a bigger brat than Kirino with enough attitude for 10 animes. The premise of the episode – Ayase wants to buy a hobby-related gift for […] Read more
Last week was romance, so this week must be manga. While Takagi and Miyoshi have a few moments in the sun this week, most of the episode is given over to the mechanics of trying to produce a successful manga. While there’s no question Hattori has the boys’ best interests […] Read more
Lots of revelations in a very cute and funny 10th episode of Reverse: – Lag looks adorable (and convincing) in drag – Connor has a libido as well as an appetite – There are giant lizards in Amberground, they’re called “Miss Mascara” and they pull carts. I can see right […] Read more
That was a pretty major change of course for Soredemo this week. By far the most serious ep so far, it featured Shizuka (the antiques shop lady) as the major character, time travel, and the craziest ping-pong match since Mayoi Neko Overrun‘s onsen episode. For starters, we had a pretty […] Read more
More or less continuing the trend of the first eight episodes, we get an action-packed episode this week to follow up a mostly humorous one. Not that there weren’t comedic moments, but the focus was on Touma’s ability and the advancement of the plot. Oriana Thompson turns out to be […] Read more
This was, in some ways, the most balanced episode of SnO yet. The plot and character development was actually integrated with the comedy for a change, instead of being totally separate entities. The comedy this time surrounds the “Tomoki Peeping Tom System” – and ingenious mix if pipes and mirrors […] Read more
In many ways this might have been the most “conventional” episode of Kuragehime so far. It was certainly the most plot-driven, with each of the major lines being advanced significantly (probably necessary in an 11-episode series). It does mark a change from the previous narrative style, where plot and character […] Read more
Like Yosuga no Sora, Amagami is wrapping up it’s omnibus with the tsundere. And while this one may not be a twin, Ayatsuji takes a back seat to no one in the tsundere department. While for better or worse (I would say worse in most cases) the tsundere has taken […] Read more
