In the name of all that’s holy, Gil, please blow it up. Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki – 09 This has been kind of an odd season for Sidonia no Kishi. Compared to the first the story really hasn’t progressed all that much – partly because of an increased […] Read more
Sidonia no Kishi is starting to resemble one of the strangest reality shows you’ll ever see. Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki – 08 On the face of it, not a whole lot of ink need be spilled over this episode of Sidonia no Kishi. It was a sitcom ep […] Read more
I’ve heard of self-loathing, but this is ridiculous. Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki – 07 For a Sidonia episode with this much comedy in it, this week’s effort was surprisingly good. In fact I’d wager to say it was about the best yet in terms of humor, though parts […] Read more
Sidonia is developing one of the weirdest love triangles in recent anime history. Owari no Seraph – 07 If Owari no Seraph were a one-cour show I obviously would have committed one way or the other by now, but because it’s a split-cour I’ve let this drag out longer […] Read more

Almost caught up now… Kyoukai no Rinne – 05 Happy Boys’ Day, the close of Japan’s Golden Week and (hopefully) of my gastrointestinally-induced posting delays (no promises). We jump in here with two of the last bubble series of the season, firstly Kyoukai no Rinne. This one fell into the […] Read more
Look out – it’s got a gun! Owari no Seraph – 05 There are some strikes against this series that would normally be large enough to be insurmountable, but I’m going to give it yet one more episode. Why? Two reasons, the first being that it looks as if it’s […] Read more
Kyoukai no Rinne is emerging as one of the sleepers of the season. Sort of. I don’t know if Kyoukai no Rinne is just growing on me, of if the anime is better than the manga. Either way I find myself not just enjoying this series more week upon week, […] Read more
And sometimes the three-episode rule is plenty. Plastic Memories – 03 I’m afraid this is the end of the line for me with Plastic Memories, at least in terms of blogging it – I’ll watch another ep or two to see if it surprises me, but I’m increasingly convinced that […] Read more
This pair isn’t exactly your one-stop shopping for pulse-quickening excitement. Mikagura Gakuen Kumiyoku – 02 I think it would be fair to say that the problems with the second episode of Mikagura were easy to predict. Namely, that once you got past he veneer of insanity and things calmed down […] Read more
