Yokoi wins! Kanojo ga Flag o Oraretara – 04 Well now – thinks got pretty serious there for a bit. This is a bit of a funny show, Gaworare is (funny-unusual, though it is pretty funny-“ha ha” as well). It’s uncommon to see a series where the canon plot and […] Read more
Hunter X Hunter is back! No, it has nothing to do with either show, Just felt like repeating it. Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara – 03 I officially like this show. Yeah, it’s pretty lowbrow in most respects, but it ain’t brainless, believe me. This is a very clever show […] Read more
Ok, I have to ask – what the hell is the deal with the bear? Sidonia no Kishi – 02 I certainly want to like this show, but there are some major flies in the ointment. Between the really ugly character CGI and the fact that a big story is […] Read more
Doskoi! Tonari no Seki-kun – 15 I guess it’s pretty much official now that the reports of TV Seki-kun’s demise were incorrect, as it’s now aired two weeks in a row as scheduled this season. I won’t be foolish enough to try and predict what’s going to happen with the […] Read more
Some shows have the merit of at least making mediocrity look good. Escha & Logy no Atelier – 01 Escha & Logy has an interesting history – it’s the 15th game in an RPG series called “Atelier”, though the first to get an anime adaptation. I already had some interest […] Read more
As Yin and Yang shows go, these two are pretty Yin-Yang-y. Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin – 01 I’m at the point now where I pretty much look at NoitaminA as just another hour on the schedule. Why? Because there’s clearly no longer a broad mandate to air a certain type […] Read more
Two LN adaptations, and it’s the original series that’s by far the worst show here. Go figure. No Game No Life – 01 This is the premiere that seems to have generated the most buzz this week, and in a sense I can understand why – it’s executed with a […] Read more
I don’t deny the real title is factually accurate, but I really think this should have been called Soul Eater Why?? Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to – 01 Mangaka-san to Assistant-san is about as straightforward as it gets. This is ecchi and silly and makes no pretense at being anything else, […] Read more
Oh – never mind, then. Tonari no Seki-kun – 14 Here’s a little tip for the folks at Tonari no Seki-kun – if you want to make people miss you, you have to stay away at least a little while. Seriously – I guess I take back my series review […] Read more
This is not the post for winning protagonists. Abarenbou Kishi!! Matstarou – 01 I’ll give this to Abarenbou Kishi!! Matstarou – the title character may be the single most unlikeable character I’ve seen in a non-Oreimo anime for at least a year. I mean, he literally takes candy from a […] Read more
