I sense there’s a love triangle forming here, but I’m, not quite sure who the third member is. I didn’t love this episode of Hataraku Maou-sama quite as much as the first two, for the simple reason that it didn’t make me laugh quite so much. But it was still […] Read more
The term “over the top” was invented for shows like Valvrave the Liberator, but to be honest I don’t think it’s entirely sufficient. Valvrave was one of the most divisive shows of the season after its first episode, with some fans proclaiming it the best show on the schedule and […] Read more

I’m ready to say that the greatness we’ve seen from Dansai Bunri is no fluke – this show knows exactly what it’s doing, and it’s doing it brilliantly. I’ve really loved all three episodes of Crime Edge, each in a slightly different way. There’s so much about this series that’s […] Read more

Hoo boy – only two weeks into the new season, and we already get an Ayase episode? I suppose there’s a rose-colored glasses effect, but I think I’ve tended to remember the things I loved about the first season of Oreimo more than the things I hated about it. Unfortunately […] Read more
The feel-good hit of the season this ain’t, but Shingeki no Kyojin is still pretty darn good. At this point Attack on Titan is looking like a strong contender for the top tier of new shows this season. I’d slide it a notch or two below Gargantia for sure, and […] Read more
