Note: Sorry about the lack of caps, but Blogger is having issues yet again. I’m tired of waiting – I’ll post them as soon as the glitch is fixed. Money makes the underworld go round, apparently. At this point I think it would take less time to list the things […] Read more
Note: Sorry about the lack of caps, but Blogger is having issues yet again. I’m tired of waiting – I’ll post them as soon as the glitch is fixed. The relationship between Suna’s screen-time and Ore Monogatari’s effectiveness is not coincidental. This was one of the best episodes of […] Read more
A few hits, a few swings and misses – that’s Diamond no Ace in a nutshell. I’m of mixed mind about the current direction of Ace of Diamond, and this episode pretty clearly illustrates why. On the one hand we’re finally seeing Eijun get a handle on his psychological trauma […] Read more
And thus, the fellowship was made complete… Sunday suppertime is definitely the epicentre of the anime week in Japan for a change, at least if you’re looking for consistent quality. Kekkai Sensen airs at three in the morning Sundays, but if you have only one hour to have the TV […] Read more

The world building just never seems to end. The more I watch Blood Blockade Battlefront the more I appreciate just how accomplished a show it is. And the more I become convinced that it represents kind of a perfect storm for Nightow Yasuhiro’s material, because in BONES and Matsumoto Rie’s […] Read more
Shokugeki no Souma is like a classic rock station where every song is covered by a band you’ve never heard before. The hits just keep on coming, as Food Wars continues its quest to check off every shounen cliche in the book. You can add the fated rival and the […] Read more
One step forward, one step back, I’d say. Things took quite a predictable turn on Punchline this week, as the show seems to be following the script I more or less expected it might be – but on the bright side, it did so in about the most entertaining fashion […] Read more
Perhaps no anime episode of recent vintage has less required a blog post to be written about it. I enjoyed this episode of Ore Monogatari!! of course – I’m not a cold-blooded terrorist or anything. But if I’m honest, I think it was the very definition of “one-note”. It’s a […] Read more
