Comprehensive?  Nope.  Objective? As if.  But it is a batch of great romances in one writer’s opinion. Read more

R-15 – OAD

The little ecchi that could is back for one last hurrah, something for 97% of the anime-viewing world to ignore and the rest of us to savor. I’ve always been a little hesitant to call R-15 an “ecchi series”, because I really think that doesn’t come close to doing it justice.  […] Read more

R-15 – Series Review

I pretty much knew when I started blogging R-15 that I was writing mostly for myself, and that most discerning anime fans would never give the series a serious look.  But that hasn’t stopped me from enjoying the hell out of both the show itself and writing about it, no […] Read more

R-15 – 12 (End)

The lyrics are basically porn, but…  Why is it so… R-15 is the little series that could.  Could what?  All sorts of wonderful things, but mostly achieve the impossible.  It’s a show that’s straddled the line between ecchi and serious romance in a way no other show I’ve seen has […] Read more

There’s so much that I find refreshing about R-15, a series about romance and the quest to be seen for what you really are rather than what the world thinks you are, that it would take pages for me to list it all.  But I’m certainly glad that as it […] Read more

I really feel badly that more people aren’t watching this series, especially when it delivers gems like this week’s ep.  The balance of elements was just right, and it captured all the charm that endeared me to R-15 from the beginning, when it was being torched in nearly all quarters. […] Read more

R-15 – 09

This was an odd but entertaining episode of R-15.  In many ways it felt like a side-story, but it connected back directly to the main plot and left its own internal mystery curiously unresolved. While we had our share of Taketo fantasies and a Ritsu ero-freakout (the trigger word was […] Read more

There’s no question that if R-15 rises above the height of a mindless sexploitation comedy – and I think it does – irony is at the heart of everything that makes it happen.  And this episode was full of the irony that, for me at least, makes this such an […] Read more

Things are back on track with a preposterous and funny episode of R-15 that goes back to the roots of the series. As a bonus, it seemed as if the censor bars were quite a bit less obtrusive than usual. There was a lot to like about this episode, though […] Read more
