Right in the Golden Carp I can’t even begin to list all the ways that this third episode was completely, dangerously insane. And wrong. And insane. Honestly, you just have to watch it – no attempt to recount it could do it justice. But seriously, if there was any doubt […] Read more
Sometimes, good series are easy to blog. Sometimes, mediocre series are easy to blog. And sometimes, good series are really hard to blog. Dororon is a good series, but damn, it’s hard to blog. Why are Yuki-onnas so damn cute? I love this show. For my money and with apologies […] Read more
You had to know things weren’t really going to get serious with this show, even in the finale. This is still Dororon, after all. And it didn’t let me down. Unless you consider penile light-sabers, boob-job in a can, icicles shooting from nipples and a worldwide orgasm serious, that is. […] Read more
You blew it up! Damn you. God damn you all to hell! Amazingly, this episode of Dororon may just have been the most random and bizarre yet. Really, it’s as if they’re trying to top themselves every week – I can’t believe even Go Nagai could have imagined this. We […] Read more
Go Nagai definitely had access to the good stuff in the 70’s – of that there can be no doubt. It’s not every anime that gives you the line “Did you really have to fist me?!!” Nor is is every anime that has a yuri scene where a demon gives […] Read more
The last 7 minutes or so of this episode of Dororon may have made me laugh harder than anything this season. This show has a way of building the hilarity and finishing with absolutely insane third acts – and the third act is usually the weakest part of an episode. […] Read more
You know, there are times when I’m watching Dororon when I catch myself thinking that I couldn’t possibly be seeing what I know I’m seeing. In their own terms, the writers and animators ripped the circlet off about four episodes ago and now Hell is raging all across our screens. […] Read more
Go Nagai is a very, very strange man. He must be – I can fathom no other explanation. Occam’s Razor and all that… Do you watch this for the plot? If so, there was one of sorts. The world is being plagued by a “Slip ‘n Fall” epidemic. No one […] Read more
Any show that can combine a Chekhov (The Seagull) and Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey) reference in the same frame is OK in my book. The lunacy continues this week with another lunatic ep of Dororon. While the sexual content may have been toned down a bit, apart from “Keep […] Read more
Why are Yuki Onnas always so damn cute? I confess to a bit of puzzlement over the fact that this series doesn’t get more attention. It’s a tremendous updating of Go Nagai’s manga and anime. It looks great, packs tremendous energy, it’s relentlessly and shockingly ecchi and most of all, […] Read more
