Gin no Saji Second Season – 11 (End) and Series Review

That was a stellar ending – but surely, we had no reason to expect anything less. Final episodes of really good anime can inspire a wade range of emotions in me.  But I know I’ve experienced a truly special series when the dominant feeling is gratitude – only the very […] Read more

It’s just ridiculous how good this series is right now. I’m running out of superlatives to lavish on Gin no Saji after the latest episode.  This three-episode run is, quite simply, about as good as any series telling this sort of story could possibly be – effectively note-perfect.  I confess […] Read more

Once again Gin no Saji brings us a beautiful, terrible sadness. I really think you’d be hard-pressed to find two consecutive episodes of any anime series that aspired to realism better than the last two of Gin no Saji, no matter how far back you look.  They’ve been perfection, really […] Read more

Nothing in fiction is quite so heartbreaking as that which is completely believable and realistic. There are definitely times where I feel as if I’m doing a series a disservice by writing about it, because an episode does such a perfect job of speaking for itself.  And that’s something of […] Read more

Sports is a great character-builder and all, but then there’s that whole “scarred for life” thing too… Gin no Saji really shouldn’t be allowed to take hiatuses (I say delay the Olympics next time) because a week without its soul-restoring unpretentious honesty is too cruel when the show is only […] Read more

There are all sorts of lessons in this episode – for characters, writers and producers alike. This was a big episode for Gin no Saji in many ways, and it came with a lot of expectations as a result.  I would argue that they were largely met, mainly because the […] Read more

How can a kid with such great language skills have no much trouble with one two letter word? Boy, was that episode ever a tale of two halves.  The A-part was very much a continuation of the mostly slice-of-life mode that the series has been in for the second season, […] Read more

I may have been under laboring a false impression of who the main character in this series is… Gin no Saji is living proof of the old show biz adage, “Never work with kids or animals”.  The series has a pretty good track record of having its four-legged cast members […] Read more

Gin no Saji, now 100% cow rectum free. Volume 10 of Gin no Saji the manga is at 610K sales and counting, and the anime continues to hum along quietly, minding its own business and doing what it does so well without calling much attention to itself.  I’ve come to […] Read more

Well, you have to admit he’s a lot cuter than Dick Cheney. It’s quite remarkable how little attention this series gets in English-language forums.  I get very few comments at either place I cover it, and it seems to have a relatively tiny following in places like ASF and MAL.  […] Read more
