It might not be the best, but I think Blood Lad may be the most consistent show of the season so far – and it’s pretty darn good, too. This is going to be one of those seasons where the blogging choices are brutal. It’s turning out to be a […] Read more
Uchouten Kazoku remains one of the most inscrutable shows of the year, but I find myself slowly falling for it. Because of my obsessive personality finding one-word summations of anime is something I do, well – obsessively. If I apply that formula to Uchouten Kazoku the one that spring immediately […] Read more
Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi offers up the first strong final episode of the season. Wait… What? Talk about a split decision… That’s certainly how I feel about Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi right now. All things considered that was a very good – not great – episode, with more of the […] Read more
It’s fitting that this is a series with “Titan” in the name, because it seems to approach everything it attacks with the mantra of “bigger is better”. For once, I agree with pretty much everything Eren said – I was thinking “this is a haven for freaks” just at the […] Read more
Now those were the last two people I expected to see in this arc… They call this arc “Chimera Ant” but there was nary a mention of the buggers in this episode. Rather, it focused completely on Gon’s fight with Knuckle – and in the process re-examined some old themes […] Read more
No question about it – Space Brothers is all the way back. There are times when my engagement in this series drops quite a bit. I suppose it’s only natural with a show that runs this long, though it certainly hasn’t happened with Hunter X Hunter – and I think […] Read more
Thankfully, the answer to last week’s headline seems to be “no” – at least so far, one character can’t ruin this extremely enjoyable series. I wonder if Servant x Service is going to be one of those shows where if you could make a greatest hits album out of the […] Read more
That really wasn’t the most difficult murder case ever… I don’t honestly know at this point if Danganronpa is a show I’ll continue to blog. I don’t usually feel this way, but I think this is an instance where familiarity with the source material would actually be helpful because the […] Read more
Gatchaman Crowds is still a mixed bag for this viewer, but trending up. If there was one show that was hard to peg coming into the season, it was probably this one. Partly that’s due to the fact that there were no previews of the show itself whatsoever (which was […] Read more
Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince just keep rolling along, stealthily under the radar. But maybe that’s changing. I’ve compared this show to the Tortoise (the one who raced the Hare) on more than one occasion, and it’s definitely meant as a compliment. While those other mecha series from Spring have disappeared […] Read more
