Anime comedy doesn’t get a whole lot better than that. It’s a shame there’s not enough material for a second season of Hoozuki no Reitetsu yet, because from the looks of things it would be very likely to get one if there were. As of now Stalker predicts this will […] Read more
Well, that’s 22 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. What do you say about an episode where 21:47 minutes is wholly purposeless and often drudgery, all to get to the 13 seconds that actually matter? All I can do is ask more questions – like, why is it […] Read more
This show remains the very definition of a mixed bag for me. Here’s where things stand with Inari Konkon at the moment, as far as I’m concerned. For me it’s like sitting down at a restaurant and being served a meal where the side dishes are excellent (or at leasInari […] Read more
This series is doing an admirable job with the final lines of episodes. Witch Craft Works lost its usual digest partner this week thanks to the Olympics pre-empting Seki-kun (which explains its double episode last week). So forgive me if this post is a bit short – I quite enjoy […] Read more
I just about ran out of space on my notepad following that episode. The news that Kingdom’s second season is ending after 39 episodes became official this week. That was wholly expected, but there’d been some hope that we might see an S3 announcement at the same time. The fact […] Read more
The torture continues… At this moment it’s utterly pointless to compare Hunter X Hunter with anything else currently airing. It’s a combination of the fact that H x H is at a ridiculous level and the fact that we’re in the midst of a historically weak season, but I […] Read more
Raise your hand if you didn’t see that coming. I’m not going to sprain my shoulder patting myself on the back for getting the events of this episode exactly right last week – though I did, right down to the timing and the identity of the deceased. Fact is your […] Read more
Don’t lie – I know most of you were singing it in the shower the last time you heard it in an episode… Yowapeda is back in a much more mischievous and balanced mode, with the non-stop intensity of the training camp behind us. Plotquakes aside that was a very […] Read more
My God – it’s full of stars… Space Dandy is managing to do something pretty rare in anime, and that’s not repeat itself. Part of that comes from the HEIII/reset button format (though Meow actually snuck a little continuity into the mix this week just for a nano) but it […] Read more
Another week, another rock-solid episode of Noragami. You know the drill – every week Noragami just delivers the goods. More than any new show this season this is the one that’s managed to evade the usual peaks and valleys – in fact, I’d go so far as to say the […] Read more
