As always it’s a mixed bag with AGE – there’s some head-on-desk stuff here for sure – but on balance, this is the first ep in a while that makes me really curious to see what happens next. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 36 Firs things first – I think […] Read more
The idea that Ishihara might not be human actually explains a lot. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 35 Things are definitely getting interesting on AGE, as the pieces for what look like the last extended arc are falling into place. I’m once again struck by how emotionally tone-deaf Flit is. […] Read more
Come on Girls, just admit it – you’d do the same thing, if given half a chance… Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 34 The moment we’ve all been waiting for is upon us – Asemu (Toriumi Kousuke) is indeed back, but you can call him “Captain Ash”. He’s leading a […] Read more
I know this will come as a shock, but Zaeheart lost a battle. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 33 At least we’re starting to get some excuses for why Zaeheart continues to be owned by the generally incompetent Federation – some sort of mysterious plan whereby Ezelcant deliberately gives the […] Read more
As a fellow man I started to worry about Shun a long time ago. Kimi to Boku 2 – 08 Another excellent and very funny episode of KtB this week, and something of a return to the slightly bent quality the series has displayed at times. It seems that this […] Read more

Nothing makes a Grandfather more proud that teaching his grandson how to kill before his 14th birthday… OP3: “Real” by ViVid The final arc begins with a rousing, action-packed episode that introduces the third-generation hero and his surrounding cast. I’m pretty much working under the assumption that the series is […] 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
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
