Given the choice between Sanada and the Queen Dowager, I think I’d rather negotiate with him. Mushibugyou – 19 I confess I’ve grown so fond of Kuroageha now that when she’s absent, something seems missing. But there’s plenty to fuel the engine that drives this episode, even as she’s separated […] Read more
Sorry, Bunnies – better late than never. Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince – 18 Certain things have been very consistent with Majestic Prince, among them superb battle choreography and a tendency to lapse into annoying cliche. And this episode certainly had both. Was it really necessary to have Suzukaze scold Team […] Read more
That was certainly a Space Brothers episode unlike any other. Gatchaman Crowds – 05 I suppose it’s official that I’m blogging Gatchaman at this point, as it’s almost half-over already. And it’s still about where it’s been for the last month: pretty good, full of imagination, cheaply made, occasionally brilliant […] Read more
Another briefer than usual dispatch from the road. Servant X Service – 06 They moved Servant X Service again? I can’t remember another recent show that seemed to hop around the schedule like this one does, but better today than Saturday night/Sunday, I suppose. I confess I’m still not sure […] Read more
Like Sankarea, Kaminai is proving itself to be the one zombie series to watch this year if you watch only one. Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi – 05 I’m not inclined to blog either of these series in digest form going forward, but for this week I’ll need to make a […] Read more
At last the true mystery of Danganronpa is revealed – why does Naegi-kun sleep with his shoes on? Danganronpa: The Animation – 02 I’m still undecided about whether to blog this series, but for now at least I’m going to continue watching it just for the enjoyable silliness. I’m not […] Read more
Tamayura really ought to come with either a warning label or an insulin shot. Brother’s Conflict – 01 I confess I didn’t make it through the premiere of Brother’s Conflict. It only took me about three minutes to figure out that this was not working for me in any way, […] Read more
Han Megumi is all mixed up with giant bugs everywhere you look these days… Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 11 All in all I think this was one of the livelier and funnier eps of the second season of Haiyore!, with Nyaruko at probably the least annoying she’s been at any […] Read more
Sengoku warlords just keep turning up in the strangest places. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san – 10 I’ll say this much for Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, it’s definitely embraced the stupid unreservedly again. I think the humor is about the same as it was in the first season, but a little bit of the novelty […] Read more
It’s nice to be right from time to time. Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W – 09 Another fairly forgettable episode of Haiyore this week, though it was just about saved with some more fireworks between Kuuko and Mahiro there at the end. I think one issue with this series is that among […] Read more
