Don’t worry, Izuru – you’re definitely the hero. I think it’s fair to say last week was a bit of an off one for Majestic Prince.  The episode had too much of the air of a placeholder to it, as if nothing really big were going to be allowed to […] Read more

To sum up episode 22 of GKMP in two words: “Never mind.”  Or perhaps, “Lutier who?” I don’t have all that much to say about this week’s Majestic Prince, honestly.  It was pretty good, which this show has rarely failed to achieve at the very least, but certainly didn’t feel […] Read more

I just can’t shake the feeling Majestic Prince is going to break my heart before it’s all over. All of the talk from the Production Committee about a potential second season of GKMP is interesting, because if any show over seemed right on track for a fully-realized finale in two […] Read more

Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince just keep rolling along, stealthily under the radar.  But maybe that’s changing. I’ve compared this show to the Tortoise (the one who raced the Hare) on more than one occasion, and it’s definitely meant as a compliment.  While those other mecha series from Spring have disappeared […] Read more
