This sort of thing is especially important in an all-boys school, you know… I was worried about Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love! having “legs” comedically speaking, but if anything the series seems to actually be getting better. Last week’s episode was great, and for me this was the best so […] Read more
Man – how can you serve up a sundae that good and still have the cherry be the highlight? I have no doubt that this episode of Akatsuki no Yona will prove to be among the audience’s favorites, and it’s certainly with good reason – it has a lot of […] Read more
This series really shows its teeth sometimes, and this arc definitely has bite. I really like this arc, and not just because it does a nice job of expanding the breadth of this season’s story.

Well now, this is getting rather interesting. I must confess things took rather a different turn in this episode than I expected, though it was certainly a fascinating and tense one. Rather than a full-on focus on Eijun and Chris, they were merely the sideshow – the real story was […] Read more
This is starting to smell quite strongly of a tragic ending, at least for the principal characters. I’m sure the Sl-apologists will find a way to write off his actions this week just as they have all the others, but it’s hard to see much good left in Slaine at […] Read more
