Ozma – 02 All in all, I enjoyed that second episode of Ozma very much. The animation is very obviously done on the cheap here, and that’s not a strength of the series, but I could just sit and stare at Matsumoto Leiji’s character designs and ship interiors all day […] Read more
I’ve been screaming for Flame Haze deaths for weeks, but wouldn’t you know it – when they finally off one, it’s the one I actually wanted to live. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 23 The dogs of war are definitely barking on Gundam AGE now. It was an interesting choice […] Read more
I’m not one to say, but I would think the last few eps of AGE might have satisfied even a few hard-core Gundam fans. Shakugan no Shana III – 22 Not much new to report this week. Lots of explosions and combat between characters I barely know and don’t really […] Read more
Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 21 The dynamic of AGE is definitely more interesting in this second round, with the added elements of the father-son relationship and the enemy now having names and faces – not to mention the hints that Romary (who should be Asemu’s future girl by the […] Read more
I guess it’s time to start a pool on which episode Arisa dies. Brave 10 – 08 At long last, Brave 10 can live up to its title. Too bad we only have four eps left to see it in action. With the addition of pirate Nezu Jinpachi (Nakai Kazuya) […] Read more
Shakugan no Shana III – 19 That was certainly an eventful episode – a bit too heavy in all the mind-numbing avalanche of “Shana” side characters and terminology, but action-packed nonetheless. I rather liked the fact that the trick to the Giralda wasn’t that it would consume the user’s power […] Read more
I sense an explosion of Gundam yaoi doujins on the horizon… Mobile Suit Gundam AGE – 18 While last week’s episode was a fairly weak effort all told, I thought this was a nice rebound. What’s interesting about this arc is seeing how a difference in upbringing can result in […] Read more
Ewww – you got Kaji Yuuki in my Shana… Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam – 15 Try to imagine the “Star Wars” prequels if Jar Jar Binks had been the main character, and you have a pretty good notion of why Last Exile’s sequel is simply unable to take flight. […] Read more
Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam – 14 Believe it or not, I take no pleasure in the heaps of abuse Fam (the character, not the show) has been receiving lately. I really hoped she’d come around and vindicate her presence in the series. The fully duality of Last Exile: Fam […] Read more
Brave 10 – 03 It’s always fun to see a good old-fashioned samurai/ninja period piece, even if this one is aimed more at Higashi-Ikebukuro than Akihabara or the middle school. As always, Brave 10 is fun in it’s slightly gender-bending and silly way, with this week mostly being taken up […] Read more
