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
Mary, Mary, where you goin’ to? Mary, Mary, can I go too? The one thing I will vow ya I’d rather die than live without ya, Mary, Mary, where ya goin’ to? Mobile Suit Gundame AGE – 31 A whole slew of new characters made their first meaningful appearances this […] Read more
I confess I’m quite baffled as to where Gundam AGE is headed with this final arc. Gundam has, over the years, mostly earned a reputation as an anti-war franchise. In my personal view that’s a bit of an oversimplification, but it’s more or less correct most of the time (how’s […] 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
Will the Woolf survive? Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 26 Um – no. I’m of two minds about this week’s Gundam ep, because it was very entertaining and Woolf’s death both surprised me and impacted me (frankly, I was sure that Ruth had signed Lt. Obright’s death warrant by accepting […] Read more
Oh, good – it’s Kaji Yuki! Why do you insist on torturing me, Japan? On the other hand, at least the good people at Sunrise had the courtesy to kill Leo quickly, so it wasn’t a total loss. I think this was something of a regression episode after the series […] Read more
