Bakuman – 4

October 25, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, bakuman, reviews
Comments (1)

I can already hear the chorus of criticism for this episode – “too slow”. And I admit – things are developing at a pretty deliberate pace. But that’s just fine by me – it suits the mood of the piece. The fourth episode was pretty much a “how-to” series on […] Read more

Tegami Bachi Reverse – 4

October 25, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Tegami Bachi Reverse
Comments (0)

Tegami Bachi is a definitely a series that thrives on formula, but it threw a real curveball this week. The episode was full of time jumps and began in the middle, with Lag mysteriously working at an “imagery lighthouse” under the name Lugh with his grandfather. Lag seems perfectly at […] Read more

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru – 3

This one is really growing on me. Sometimes oddball shows – especially comedies – kind of chip at your resistance until you let yourself enter their universe completely. The somewhat demented sense of humor here is working better for me every week. It’s SHAFT – and Shinbo – so you […] Read more

Amagami SS – 16

October 24, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAmagami SS, Anime, reviews
Comments (0)

The Nanasaki Ai arc ended pleasantly enough this week, though it was a bit of an anti-climax (pun intended). The first half of the episode was taken entirely with Ai and Junichi manning the swim team’s oden booth at the Culture Festival, complete with visits from discerning senpai and drunken […] Read more

Yozakura Quartet – Hoshi no Umi (OVA)

October 23, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, reviews, Yozakura Quartet
Comments (0)

I don’t know the manga all that well, but I know that it’s much beloved. And I know that the TV adaptation left me just barely interested enough to slog through to the end. The character design and animation felt flat, and there serious pacing issues and flaws in the […] Read more

To Aru Majutsu no Index II – 3

October 23, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, To Aru Majutsu no Index II
Comments (0)

Touma – his is the first that will pierce the heavens. It’s refreshing to see an anime hero who basically fights magic with his bare hand, and science and brawn with his bare hands. His only weakness is Index’s jaws on his head. One thing about JC Staff, they don’t […] Read more

Sora no Otoshimono Forte – 4

October 23, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Sora no Otoshimono Forte
Comments (0)

This isn’t the easiest series in the world to blog, really. It’s mostly just outright silliness that you have to watch to appreciate. Seems to me that Tomoki is spending more time in chibi form this season, and this episode was no exception. This week’s excuse for lunacy is a […] Read more

Steelhead Zinfandel – 2007

October 22, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedTrader Joe's, Wine
Comments (0)

Trader Joe’s bypasses the usual subterfuge on this one – you don’t even have to read the fine print on the back of the bottle to know this is actually a product of well-respected Sonoma bio-dynamic winery Quivira Vineyards. TJ’s is selling this second label offering for $6.99. A couple […] Read more

Shinryaku Ika Musume – 3

October 22, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Shinryaku Ika Musume
Comments (0)

No drop in quality – this is officially the best comedy of the fall season. Every sketch has been a winner so far and I’m impressed by the lack of repetitive jokes and the actual development happening with the characters and the way they relate to each other. Squid Girl […] Read more

Nurarihyon no Mago – 16

October 21, 2010Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Nurarihyon no Mago, reviews
Comments (0)

This was definitely a serious plot advancement episode for Nurarihyon. Although Grandpa was once again absent – bar one brief cut-in – Both Rikuos saw plenty of action and the Nura Clan started to fight back with a little more vigor against the Shikoku Seven. Hitotsume turned out to be […] Read more
