This series stubbornly refuses to be predictable, that’s for certain. I’m noticing a trend with Subete ga F ni Naru, one that’s recurrent enough to suggest that it goes beyond coincidence. The second half of almost every recent episode has been considerably more compelling than the first, and this week […] Read more
Any day with Kamisama Hajmemashita in it is a good day. It’s been a few months since the first “Kako-hen” OVA was released, but my schedule has been so crazy that I just haven’t found the time to dedicate to it that I feel this series deserves. It matters not […] Read more
Holy mackerel! I think it’s inevitable that a series that goes for volume laughs the way Osomatsu-san does is going to have some ups and downs, and for me this episode was a bit of a valley. There have been mostly peaks so far so the occasional letdown isn’t remotely […] Read more
Huh?? Well, I’m baffled. First off, it must be said that was a rather good episode of Ace of Diamond on the whole. At the very least it was a marked improvement over the last couple of weeks, which is hardly surprising given that it was Eijun pitching. Things were […] Read more
He’s not exactly Craster, but that doesn’t mean Naze Turbine is a swell guy. Once again Tekketsu no Orphans turned on a dime, ditching last week’s action-driven style for a dialogue-heavy episode full of emotion. Once you get past the whiplash I rather like that this series has the ability […] Read more
I know most of you aren’t paying attention, but you should be. If Concrete Revolutio were a song, I think it would be The Monkees “Shades of Grey”… When the world and I were young, Just yesterday. Life was such a simple game, A child could play. It was easy […] Read more
Oh yes, One Punch Man has ascended to full-blown awesome now. As is my usual preference when I’m writing a generally positive post (and this one is going to be extremely positive) with one negative element, I’ll get the negative out of the way. I didn’t especially like the way […] Read more
Retro, throwback – whatever adjectives you got, I don’t think they do the experience justice. What’s this – a First Impressions post in November? And for Digimon, yet? Yes, it’s odd, but here we are. This Digimon revival has been in development since forever, and the announcement that it would […] Read more
I’d say that eggshell is pretty well cracked now. It’s Tsukki time on Haikyuu at long last, and it seems as if the lanky lad is poised to play a major role in the story going forward. The role of rival for Hinata has pretty much been vacant since day […] Read more
Even Gods, it seems, aren’t immune from daddy issues. Noragami continues to be a dark ride. Even when it’s in comedy mode, despair always seems to be lurking in the background, as if these are characters that fate simply won’t allow to have a free pass. There’s a strange kind […] Read more
