Surprisingly enough, Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge got even weirder this week. And nothing could please me more. I often run across anime that prompt me to wonder just what the money people were thinking when they agreed to produce it. Dansai Bunri certainly fits the bill there – this […] Read more
Slowly but surely, RDG is staking its claim to be one of the top shows of the Spring, just as I expected. What an odd show this is, in so many ways. I don’t know how many people are watching it, and when they are if they are (pageviews for […] Read more
Arata Kangatari is certainly showing no signs of panic, considering the realities of the calendar. While things are zipping along nicely, I’m still quite unsure where Satelight is headed with this adaptation. They continue to adapt the manga at a pace of a little more than three chapters per episode […] Read more
The folks behind Kamisama no Memochou must be thrilled, because the series hasn’t gotten this much free pub since the anime went off the air. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 03 It struck me this week that Haiyore! is really sort of cheating – in a way, they’ve found a loophole […] Read more

I still can’t quite figure out where this season of Oreimo is headed. I don’t really know what to make of this episode as it relates to the rest of the series – it felt very much like a side story or extra. I’ve also never been much of a […] Read more
An enjoyable episode on the whole, but there’s some pretty freaky stuff going on with Shingeki no Kyojin. Some folks questioned why I once referred to Shingeki as science-fiction, but after this episode I’ll stand my ground. How else besides time travel do you explain Mikasa suddenly being a 35 […] Read more
The Three-episode rule isn’t cutting it. Ginga Kikotai Majestic Prince – 03 To be brutally honest, part of me was hoping Majestic Prince would completely lose me this week and I’d be able to drop it – at least from blogging – with no reservations. My weekends are looking crazy […] Read more
Watching this season of Chihayafuru has become a sort of exquisite torture. What would happen if an anime did an entire Karuta tournament in real-time? That’s what this team competition is starting to feel like. No one is a bigger fan of the buildup episode in sports anime than I […] Read more
