Nazo no Kanojo X – OVA

August 29, 2012Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Movie/OVA, Nazo no Kanojo X, reviews
Comments (12)

An OVA from a series you loved is always a little bittersweet. For me, Nazo no Kanojo X was a series that got pretty much everything right.  It took an extremely smart and interesting manga by Ueshiba Richi and made it even better.  Director Watanabe Ayumu and writer Akao Deko […] Read more

Nazo no Kanojo X – 13 (End) and Series Review

I’m resigned to the fact that this series will never be recognized as the classic it was, but that doesn’t diminish its greatness one bit. Please don’t mistake the fact that I’m not doing a separate series finale and series review post for Nazo no Kanojo X as any indication […] Read more

Two words for that episode: “absolutely fantastic”. I feel as if I’ve said just about all there is to be said about MGX, which by its nature lends itself to some pretty high-level (if not high-quality) analysis.  It continues to surprise and delight me just about every week, with very few exceptions.  […] Read more

MGX manages to surprise me yet again. I’m pretty sure there’s never been a relationship anime quite like this one.  I confess that while I was totally wrapped up in the this arc’s story after last week, I was looking forward to this ep with a hint of trepidation.  After […] Read more

Does anyone else smell sulphur? MGX has been a pretty thorough compendium of the first serious teenaged relationship, exploring the topic with its unerring realism hidden beneath a veneer of absurdity.  So I suppose it was only a matter of time before we got to the first serious conflict, which […] Read more

There’s an ugly side to love that’s never far from the surface, especially in the full splendor of youth. What a dramatic change of pace this was from last week’s blockbuster, game-changer of an episode. Possessiveness is a theme that’s been touched on before in MGX, but not with the […] Read more

Those were the biggest meat buns I’ve ever seen. The hours are slipping away and I have to be up early for a bone-crushingly full day tomorrow, at Fanime and otherwise, and I’d really planned to make this a fairly short post on MGX.  But dammit, now I just want […] Read more

I’m beginning to have my doubts as to just who the title of this series refers to… MGX continues to be strange and wonderful, quite difficult to pin down (what genre is this, for example?) but with quite a feeling of universality despite that.  Ueshiba-san has clearly figured out – […] Read more
