Mary, Mary, where you goin’ to? Mary, Mary, can I go too? The one thing I will vow ya I’d rather die than live without ya, Mary, Mary, where ya goin’ to? Mobile Suit Gundame AGE – 31 A whole slew of new characters made their first meaningful appearances this […] Read more
Most unwise pinky swear ever… Tasogare Otome x Amnesia – 05 If there’s one series of the Spring that I’m almost exactly on the fence about, it’s this one. It pleases me, bores me and irritates me in just about equal amounts. I really do like Kirie as a character […] Read more
Another episode, another personality for Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia – 04 After a slapstick beginning and a fairly scary diversion, this week represents what my gut is telling me is the closest thing to a “true” face of this series – a kind of slice-of-death story […] Read more
Possession: Barcelona 72% Chelsea 28% Shots: Barcelona 25 Chelsea 7 Aggregate: Barcelona 2, Chelsea 3 Football is a funny game. Area no Kishi – 16 I’m still not quite sold on this whole Kakeru-Suguru possession side of the story. This time Kakeru hits his head (we saw that last week) […] Read more
Wow, they’re still letting Vargas drive? Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 28 The Asemu arc wraps up in what I would say is mostly unsurprising fashion. Asemu marries the blander than milquetoast Romary (possibly the most lifeless performance KanaHana has ever given), Flit uncovers the huge conspiracy in the Earth […] Read more
Comedy comes in many flavors. Kimi to Boku 2 – 02 This wasn’t an especially good episode of KtB, at least by the standard the show has displayed lately. I’m sure to manga readers who have more context with them Azuma and Akira are interesting characters, but to me they’re […] Read more
If you didn’t believe what’s old-school is new again, who would have suspected that in 2012 we’d have an anime introduced with “Oh, Shounen, burn the cosmo of your hearts!”? Ozma – 05 Well, the great Dick mystery is solved – it is him, and it isn’t. Gido took Dick’s […] Read more
Ancient Chinese secret, huh? Lupin III: Mine Fujiko Iu Onna – 02 One thing I’ll say for this new incarnation of Lupin III – it absolutely drips style from every pore. It’s swimming in cool, this one – from the music to the wardrobes to the dialogue, the show just […] Read more
Will the Woolf survive? Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 26 Um – no. I’m of two minds about this week’s Gundam ep, because it was very entertaining and Woolf’s death both surprised me and impacted me (frankly, I was sure that Ruth had signed Lt. Obright’s death warrant by accepting […] Read more
Ozma – 02 All in all, I enjoyed that second episode of Ozma very much. The animation is very obviously done on the cheap here, and that’s not a strength of the series, but I could just sit and stare at Matsumoto Leiji’s character designs and ship interiors all day […] Read more
