In case you missed it, NoitaminA revealed their plans for the rest of the year yesterday. Original series from NoitaminA are always welcome (any NoitaminA series are welcome at this stage), as is the news that Gin no Saji will be getting a second cour. Still, there are so many […] Read more
It’s a good day for Silver Spoon. The results are in, and it’s Gin no Saji (which was just announced as a split-cour series, with a second cour coming in Janurary) coming out on top. Not a huge surprise given the readership here. If anything did surprise me it’s how […] Read more
Ah, Kishi-san, Uezu-san – somehow it feels as if we’ve met here before. Well, that had some of the best WTF factor of any series I’ve seen for a while. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve tried to get into a game adaptation by this director/writer team – […] Read more
Anime’s fanfiction all grown-up is back for another season. Senki Zesshou Symphogear is another of those series that was pretty close to my cutoff point for blogging more than once, which makes the decision on the sequel a little iffy. I liked it a fair amount, but never really loved […] Read more
The one the Wulgaru set wasn’t the only trap in this episode of Majestic Prince. OP2: “Watashi wa Souzousuru (私は想像する)” by Natsumi Kon After what was effectively two weeks off, GKMP hits the ground running in its second cour. We got a new OP and ED, tons of action, and […] Read more

In the immortal words of Jerry Seinfeld, “It’s so nice when it happens good.” OP: “May I Help You? (めいあいへるぷゆー?)” by Lucy Yamagami (Ai Kayano), Saya Miyoshi (Mai Nakahara), Megumi Chihaya (Aki Toyosaki) Yesterday I found a premiere I actually hated, so it was especially rewarding to find one today […] Read more
Tamayura really ought to come with either a warning label or an insulin shot. Brother’s Conflict – 01 I confess I didn’t make it through the premiere of Brother’s Conflict. It only took me about three minutes to figure out that this was not working for me in any way, […] Read more
Let the insanity begin – Free! at last. OP: “Rage on” by OLDCODEX I can’t imagine the content of the first episode of Free! would surprise too many viewers, but there’s still an awful lot to talk about. I think a few things were pretty much a given: this is […] Read more
Gifuu Dodou should be manly enough to satisfy even the most manly of tastes. Pretty much everything you need to know about this series you can guess from the writer/director and the time slot. It’s based on a manga by Hara Tetsuo, famous for Fist of the North Star, who’s […] Read more
