At last the true mystery of Danganronpa is revealed – why does Naegi-kun sleep with his shoes on? Danganronpa: The Animation – 02 I’m still undecided about whether to blog this series, but for now at least I’m going to continue watching it just for the enjoyable silliness. I’m not […] Read more
Anime’s fanfiction all grown-up is back for another season. Senki Zesshou Symphogear is another of those series that was pretty close to my cutoff point for blogging more than once, which makes the decision on the sequel a little iffy. I liked it a fair amount, but never really loved […] Read more
I think Symphogear may take the term “suspension of disbelief” to an all-time record level. In a good way. What do you get when you mix Gundam, Madoka Magica and TTGL and tell someone to make an anime out of it for $22.50 and a bag of chips? Probably something […] Read more
Never a dull moment with this show, that’s for sure. You know there are definitely times when Senshogear lays the cheese on pretty think, even for a fan of the show like me. That whole business with Yumi prattling on about what would happen if there were an anime, and […] Read more

Genjuro, you naughty boy – not only do you have a secret girl on the side, but she has her own apartment… The angst level has been turned way down the last couple of weeks on Senshogear, but I can’t help but think it’s all just setting us up for […] Read more
For as much consternation as it caused among the viewers, the rift between Hibiki and Miku was settled quickly – and in a rather straightforward and believable way. If you don’t believe me about the kerfuffle, check out places like MAL and AF – the fans have been raging about […] Read more
The title of this episode was “Towards the Fate That Never Stops Assailing Us”, and it would be hard to do a better job of summing up the overall feel of this series than that. What a fascinating contrast we have in our two Saturday Sci-fi series, Senshogear and Mouretsu […] Read more
Subtle as a sledgehammer to the face and slick as sandpaper, Symphogear somehow still manages to keep me totally engaged every week. And have I mentioned that Yuuki Aoi is a genius? Seriously, I could listen to this woman all day. That scene in the hospital with Tsubasa – how […] Read more
