Anime crying, boy… If you’re going there, you better have earned it. Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate – 03 It would be hard to get any closer to the edge for me with Koichoco in terms of blogging. It’s just barely interesting enough to keep going for the moment, and […] Read more
I’m surprised to hear myself say this, but by the end of this episode of Koichoco I found I was rather enjoying it. Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate – 02 Let’s have no illusions, this is pretty formulaic stuff – though by their very nature VNs are formulaic, so that’s […] Read more
Whatever happens from here and whatever flaws in execution it has, Gundam AGE has certainly never been a more interesting series than it is right now. This was an altogether eventful Gundam episode on many fronts, but I think the most significant is that it was the moment that Lord […] Read more
It’s been a mighty impressive week for action scenes in anime. Kingdom – 03 Kingdom continues to benefit from a very good storyline, and the animation is slowly improving as the over-reliance on CGI eases off (or else I’m just getting used to it. First, a few notes – apparently […] Read more

The idea that Ishihara might not be human actually explains a lot. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 35 Things are definitely getting interesting on AGE, as the pieces for what look like the last extended arc are falling into place. I’m once again struck by how emotionally tone-deaf Flit is. […] Read more
Come on Girls, just admit it – you’d do the same thing, if given half a chance… Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 34 The moment we’ve all been waiting for is upon us – Asemu (Toriumi Kousuke) is indeed back, but you can call him “Captain Ash”. He’s leading a […] Read more
I know this will come as a shock, but Zaeheart lost a battle. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 33 At least we’re starting to get some excuses for why Zaeheart continues to be owned by the generally incompetent Federation – some sort of mysterious plan whereby Ezelcant deliberately gives the […] Read more
