Weekly Digest: 10/22/12 – Btooom!, Zetsuen no Tempest, K

October 22, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Btooom, Digests, reviews, Zetsuen no Tempest
Comments (13)

Too many shows, too little time… Btooom! – 03 Btooom! is preposterous, but in an entertaining way.  It’s one of those shows where a lot of suspension of disbelief is necessary, because the plot is effectively an elaborate 2 AM bar conversation between a bunch of smart geeks with too […] Read more

Uchuu Kyoudai – 29

October 21, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Uchuu Kyoudai
Comments (3)

The tension level jumped quite a number of notches this week, that’s for sure. If anything, this week’s episode was about confronting the elephants in the room that Space Brothers has been avoiding to some extent up to now. In the first instance, the nerves of the family members as […] Read more

Little Busters! – 03

Three episodes in Little Busters! seems incapable of being less than likeable, but this week’s episode had something of the feel of a placeholder. I suppose it’s unavoidable to compare LB to its predecessors in adaptation from Key, especially Kanon (which I loved) and Clannad (which I liked).  I’ve mentioned […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 52

Finally, someone comes along who can give the Phantom Troupe as good as they get. There was an awful lot happening in this ep of H x H – as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago there are several different threads in the story at the moment any one […] Read more

Shin Sekai Yori – 04

I’m running out of ways to say how great this show is, so back to the basics – this show is really, really great. There’s no denying that watching a good anime is an enjoyable experience, but it’s the occasional great ones that really make the experience of being a […] Read more

Psycho-Pass – 02

I’m not sure that Urubochi-san and I.G. could have made a second episode that was more different in every way from the first, for better and for worse.  Only time will tell whether that was a good strategy for the first two eps of the series. Make no mistake, I […] Read more

Robotics;Notes – 02

October 19, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, reviews, Robotics;Notes
Comments (14)

I think Robotics;Notes is going to be an interesting test for its audience. I like this series a lot so far, but even I would be the first to admit that it’s extremely laid-back in terms of pacing and mood.  In a funny way this episode put me in mind […] Read more

First major purchase since arrival: I passed through Ochanomizu on my way to Akiba last night, and had a moment I’m rather proud of.  I thought to myself, hmmm – “Ocha” is tea, and “Mizu” is water.  “No” is the possessive of course – so I wondered if the name […] Read more

Chuunibyou – 03

October 19, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Chuunibyou, reviews
Comments (9)

Uh-oh – KyoAni and a school club, eh?  I guess it was inevitable, for better or worse. I definitely enjoyed this episode of Chuunibyou more than the first two, for the simple reason that it made me laugh when it was trying to a good percentage of the time.  I […] Read more

Shirokuma Café – 29

Comments (4)

He’s cute and all, but… This was one of those eps of Shirokuma Café that had me helpless with laughter from start to finish, but especially the first sketch. It probably came closer to epitomizing what makes Panda a great comedic character than any other – I would say it’s […] Read more
