BrianAndrew's Feed Releases for May 2010

A few episodes ago, I’d wondered to myself what Yui would be like after graduation. I wondered what she might be like all grown up, as an adult. I wondered why it was so hard to picture Yui and her future. And then I realized: this is Yui we’re talki...

So the opening monologues aren’t always philosophical; sometimes they reveal character and character background. This week we took another glimpse into Recruit’s relationship with his father. This tense relationship is one of the foundational buildin...

Yay! Poro is BACH! Do to relatively small natural disasters, My electrical supply lines were severed as the forces of natured pitted me in a two front war.  I was forced to fight them both off with my black gloves of justice and guard skills, more co...

It’s about time we had a Mio-centric episode. With her long dark hair, mature composure, and fear of all things haunted, Mio is probably the most popular (if not, one of the more popular) characters of K-On!! I’ve always found it fascinating – though...

The starting changes up a bit (and no, Maria’s special opening sequence isn’t back) with Nino opening the episode with a monologue of her own. Which makes me wonder if Recruit isn’t the only one being challenged with deep ponderings Under the Bridge....

Homosexuals. Well, Misa even looks smarter wearing glasses as the start of the episode shows with her remembering when Usui kissed her, causing her to screw up her work habbits.  Of course, when she finished with work she runs into Usui, which makes...

You really can have the straightest hair every day of the year except when it’s super humid, and then it’s all poof and curls. Along with being bad for hair, humidity and rain are bad for instruments; especially instruments made predominantly of wood...

Damn it, that was surprising. So the whole episode focuses on Kazama being in the hospital with Haruto at his side, until Yuzuki Eba finally decides to show up.  It turns out that she was Kazama’s girlfriend, and Haruto has to pretend that they’ve ne...

It’s over 9000! Well, the episode wasn’t that great nor was it bad either.  It takes place at Tsuna’s house, where he wakes up to the surprise of the Shimon family eating breakfast at his house while his mother happily looks on.  First of all, what t...

Balls.  Lots of balls. On the more serious note, the tone of the episode changes from after the draw against Tokyo Victory to the season pre-conference, where all the teams get together with the captains and the managers with each team releasing a st...

This anime disappointed me in the beginning.  I did not like the fact that these peeps are super natural espers.  No me gusta mucho.  Pero, I gave it another chance.  It hasn’t gotten any better.  The first episode was good.  The second was better.  ...

They finally killed the best part. Korone was surprisingly trying to be more seductive after a brief scene in the beginning where she is talking to a hierarchy that wants to get rid of Sai Akuto.  This, of course, completely ruins her character since...

We seem to have more… action these days. Angel Beats! The dark essence of Yuri watches over you as she gives you a direct order.  Note the eyes as she looks at you, knowing that you’ll obey every one of her orders. B Gata H Kei It’s not what’s in the...

It’s hard to believe that they’re all over twenty years old. When Misa introduced the episode with the Ayuzawa Cram School group, I thought that we were in for a crap episode.  Not only did all the characters look alike (possibly to indicate their le...

In the latest Newtype magazine issue, it seems that Yuri has beaten Nagato’s top spot for female characters. Kanade (Angel/Tenshi) takes 10th place. Otonashi takes 6th place in the male character category. It may come as a surprise to many of us, but...

Last week we followed our seniors (Mio, Ritsu, Mugi, and Yui) to Kyoto for their senior trip while this week, we stay home with the girls left behind: Azusa, Ui, and the new girl: Jun. While our dynamic trio of juniors don’t have quite the same chari...
