Here’s an article I did for MAL, riffing on an idea I introduced during a long-ago Random C podcast. Read more

Kyousougiga – 10.5 (End)

Thanks for the memories, Kyousougiga. There hasn’t been much that’s orthodox about the way Kyousougiga has been structured.  It started with an ONA, then added five short web episodes, and then more than a year later finally came the TV series.  Putting a travelogue episode in the middle and a […] Read more

The worst thing about any great series is obvious – that it ends. Kyousougiga hasn’t been a conventional anime series in any way, shape or form since the very beginning – not in terms of medium, narrative structure, themes or sheer quality – so it’s no surprise that the ending […] Read more

When Kyousougiga speaks I hear it, and if nothing else, I know at least that I’m not the only one who does. It’s finals week, my brain is fried, and I’ve already spent way too much time writing about anime and not nearly enough studying.  I haven’t got a whole […] Read more

Kyousougiga is many things, but I’ve come to think of it as a sort of symphony in anime form. I’ve referred in the past to something Salieri famously said of Mozart (supposedly) – that he wrote all of his pieces completely in his head, as if he were “taking dictation […] Read more

It seems almost unfair to have two anime episodes this good airing on back-to-back days. For sheer brilliance, there are really only two anime series on the schedule right now, this one and Hunter X Hunter.  There are other shows I like an awful lot, maybe even love, but as […] Read more

Or 08 – or 09, or 14, depending on how you’re counting. Among the many takeaways with Kyousogiga is that it’s a constant reminder of how perspective changes everything.  Some of what we’ve seen throughout these first six episodes is little changed from its form in the net episodes – […] Read more

This episode only increases my affection both for Kyoisogiga, and the places and people that inspired it. You can make a case that the mid-point of a series isn’t the best place for an episode like this, but I found it absolutely captivating.  It had nothing to do with the […] Read more

Another magnificent flight of the soul – but then, we’re used to that from Kyousogiga by now. This was the last stage of the journey the TV anime of Kyousogiga is making in the footsteps of the ONA, and it was a memorable one indeed.  This may very well have […] Read more

Yep, still great. I’m seriously starting to worry about Kyousogiga.  It’s not so much the show itself – although approaching the halfway point of a series that has a chance to be a masterpiece, there’s definitely a “Please, for the love of God don’t screw this up!” thing going on […] Read more
