Does it still count as being NTR’d when the guy deserves it this much? Actually, if you want to really parse it there are a lot of reasons why what happened in this week’s Aldnoah.Zero isn’t netorare at all (not least that Inaho is at least as much the protagonist […] Read more
Tachikawa-sensei is just making it look easy now… Has there ever been a gap this wide between the best series of a season and the second-best? It’s an interesting question to which I don’t know the answer, but intuitively it seems to me as if great series are more likely […] Read more
I’m left wondering if the things I thought and felt about that episode were what its creators intended. That certainly lived up to its billing, on the whole. There were elements of this week’s episode-encompassing fight scene that were animated unevenly, but on the whole it was visually excellent – […] Read more
Pretty tough to fight on without your right-hand man. It’s been a bit left behind as the scope of the story has broadened in recent weeks, but the center of Parasyte has always been the relationship between Shinichi and Migi. If this is a show about the relationship between humans […] Read more
This sort of thing is especially important in an all-boys school, you know… I was worried about Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love! having “legs” comedically speaking, but if anything the series seems to actually be getting better.

This series really shows its teeth sometimes, and this arc definitely has bite. I really like this arc, and not just because it does a nice job of expanding the breadth of this season’s story. As we’re seeing, it’s offering a(nother) nice opportunity for Nanami to demonstrate her growing strength […] Read more
Not with a bang, but a whimper. It’s tempting to dwell on the memorable way this episode ended – with the plaintive “Himeeee!” and the best end card ever (I love how TMS has been having ever-more fun with these – the sponsor messages are even better, but CR cuts […] Read more
Suetsugu-sensei, just what in the world do you have planned for our put-upon male lead? There’s never a dull moment in Chhayafuru these days, as pretty much every chapter is packed with drama fit to bursting. The only thing that seems certain is that things can never be the same […] Read more
Durarara! certainly is an interesting puzzle, in more ways than one. The thing is, DRRR is definitely starting to click for me, but the funny thing is I can’t say exactly why. It’s almost impossible for me to look at my positive reactions after an episode and my indifferent ones […] Read more
