If this is it for me and Hitsugi no Chaika, there are certainly no hard feelings. Gundam Build Fighters Try – 02 I’m starting to remember why I didn’t blog Gundam Build Fighters, even though I did end up liking it an awful lot. I like Try, too – probably […] Read more
The jury is very much out on whether this season will have quality, but it certainly has quantity. Gugure! Kokkuri-san – 01 This is a show about which I had almost no expectations, given that I haven’t read any of the manga (which is by a first-time mangaka) and the […] Read more
Yup, still 1977. I’m still extremely pressed for time and the interesting premieres are starting to come hot and heavy now, so I can’t spare a lot of time on Reconguista in G for the moment. I did want to mention that I watched the second ep and found it […] Read more
I know I’ve been running a fever and all, but I didn’t expect to hallucinate that it was 1977. While my cold seems to be in retreat, it’s Midnight and I’m utterly exhausted from tour-guiding my sisters, with more posts to go, so just a brief first impression sampling today. […] Read more
Gundam may just have topped everyone in the race to be retro. Non Non Biyori – 01 Of all the sleepers on my Fall list, this might have been the deepest. At least, it’s the show that seemed to dovetail least with my tastes in anime. It was strictly a […] Read more

Sadly, today isn’t one of those times. Here’s the thing: I don’t hate Gundam AGE. There are shows I hate […] Read more
That was a pretty impressive display of character deaths, both in terms of volume and importance. I’m certainly no closer to knowing how next week’s episode is going to end all this, though whether that’s a good or a bad thing I’m not sure. This week seemed for a while […] Read more
Even though I knew it was coming, that was still a hard blow. Seric Abis had more death flags than the Zombie United Nations, so his demise in this episode was certainly no surprise – nor will Fram’s, when it inevitably arrives. But it sucks, because characters whose heads are […] Read more
Not only have I not found a subbed release of AGE this week, there doesn’t seem to be a RAW of less than 2.5 GB. So screencaps later, hopefully – in the meantime please enjoy these pictures of cute kittens. Is it possible – Zaeheart did something not stupid in […] Read more
You know, Gundam AGE is a lot like (bear with me, here) playing golf. If you play the occasional round of golf like I do, and you aren’t very good like I’m not, chances are you’ll have experienced the feeling of playing so badly you feel like you’re ready to […] Read more
