Fall 2012 Check-in

November 8, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Season Reviews
Comments (28)

Somewhat tardy, here’s the Fall 2012 check-in – and a pretty solid season it is, on the whole. My read on Fall 2012 going in was that it was deep in potentially good shows, while lacking candidates for real greatness.  On balance I’d say that expectation has largely been met […] Read more

Weekly Digest: 11/8/12 – Magi, Kamisama Hajimemashita

November 8, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Digests, Kamisama Hajimemashita, reviews
Comments (7)

Kamisama Hajimemashita might not be the best series of the Fall, but it just might be the most consistent. Magi – 05 Another very solid episode for Magi this week, as Aladdin’s storyline continues to be the most interesting element in the series.  As expected, Baba-sama case off her Earthly […] Read more

Jormungand: Perfect Order – 05

November 7, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Jormungand, reviews
Comments (9)

Make no mistake about it – the “other” HCLI squad takes a back-seat to no one when  it comes to kicking serious tail. Kasper Hekmatyar was much more of an off-screen presence than on in the first season of Jormungand (though his urinal confrontation with Jonah was certainly a memorable […] Read more

Sakurasou no Pet no Kanoujou – 05

November 7, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Sakurasou
Comments (13)

The inevitable triangle seems finally to be upon us, and so far I’m not in love with where it seems to be taking Sakurasou. I’ve had the nagging feeling for a while that Sakurasou was a series torn between two impulses – one, to be a somewhat radical and certainly unusual […] Read more

Ginga e Kickoff – 26

November 6, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Ginga e Kickoff, reviews
Comments (9)

At long last it’s the unveiling of Reika Mark II. This reveal certainly has to go down as one of the worst-kept secrets in Ginga e Kickoff – along with Aoto and Tagi joining the Predators – as it’s been teased in the OP since the very first episode.  Still, […] Read more

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun – 06

November 6, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun
Comments (17)

It seems fitting considering the theme of this episode that this was the week my affection for Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun turned into love. There was so much happening this week that I could start almost anywhere with this ep, and why it was such a good one – it’s an […] Read more

Sukitte Iia na yo – 05

November 5, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Sukitte Iia na yo
Comments (4)

Episode 5 – shameless, but effective. I liked this episode of Sukitte just as much as the first four, though it felt quite different to me.  Those four eps were appealingly realistic and just a bit raw – not especially polished in terms of presentation but emotionally honest and free […] Read more

Little Busters – 05

November 5, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Little Busters, reviews
Comments (14)

Well, whaddaya know – Little Busters is a Key adaptation after all. While the events in this episode were certainly foreshadowed last week, the change in tone was still pretty stark – especially in the second half of the episode.  This was really the first time that the Key/Maeda Jun […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 54

November 4, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (20)

As many epic fights as this series has shown us so far, I get the sense that the big dogs haven’t even started to hunt yet. This episode was certainly a bit of an emotional roller-coaster, though that was to be expected under the circumstances.  It started out feeling like […] Read more

Uchuu Kyoudai – 31

November 4, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Uchuu Kyoudai
Comments (8)

There are a couple of currently airing series where the gap between how brilliant they are and how much discussion they get is particularly large, and Space Brothers is definitely one of them.  And I confess, I’m guilty myself. An interesting bit of trivia about this week’s episode: astronaut Hoshide […] Read more
