Review: Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls 1
Yagyuu Muneakira, Sanada Yukimura and Gotou Matabee.
At first glance, Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls has a lot going against it. It's based on a figure series which depicts various historical samurai as busty girls. It's being animated by ARMS, who are...
Final Thoughts on Occult Academy
Do you see that look on Maya's face? That expression of disappointment and contempt, mixed with just a hint of anger? Yeah, that's how I feel right now.
Look, I wanted to like Occult Academy, I really did. Back in the early days of the summer season,...
What You Should Know About Iron Man
With the first episode of Madhouse's Iron Man on the horizon, some of you might be wondering, "What's the big deal?" And I understand. Comics--with their high issue counts, many crossovers, and daunting pool of titles--can be tough to get into. I was...
Otaku Debate: Finding an Anime Girlfriend
Last week's debate indicated a fairly split opinion on the quality of the summer anime season. 59% of you said it was either average or horrible, whereas 31% liked it. 12% didn't even bother watching any shows from this season at all. Based on these...

Otaku Debate: Did the Summer Anime Season Suck?
Surprisingly, last week's debate didn't generate the knee-jerk negative reaction towards obesity that I expected. Most of the poll respondents said they preferred their girls anywhere from "meaty" to "slightly chubby," which could be considered avera...

Manga Review: .hack//XXXX
No, it's not hentai!
.hack is complex franchise that has appeared in anime, manga, and video game formats. The best way to describe the franchise might be to say it's similar to Legend of Zelda. Each incarnation takes place in the same setting, but...
Yen Plus adds K-ON! and Yotsuba&!
Yotsuba doesn't like being upstaged.
The launch of Yen Press' online magazine Yen Plus went unnoticed by most otaku, mainly because the titles it included were exclusively Korean manhwa instead of manga. However, this month's issue remedies that by a...
Music Review: “That’s Why Girls Fall in Love” from Hayate
I realize it’s been a few days since I last posted some music for you guys, but school decided to intervene with its dreaded classes, assignments, club meetings and the like. I will admit I spent quite some time trying to figure out which song I was...

This week's page is from The Leg...
Which Hairstyle is Sexiest?

Series Review: Working!!
Here we are at the tail end of the Summer 2010 season, with hardly anything worthwhile to watch. As Bakacast listeners know, we at Project Haruhi are having a hard time finding things to like in the anime we review each week. It’s getting pretty desp...
Anime Music Review: “Golden Day” from Working!!
This is a guest post written by Jake W. Check out his blog here!

Review: Highschool of the Dead 9
This is a guest post written by The Austin Critic. Check out his blog here!
I don't get Highschool of the Dead. There are times when it's trying to be a gritty zombie show, and other times when it's a completely over-the-top, fanservice filled action...
Review: K-ON!! 21
ò_ó
Last week's episode of K-ON!! had a rather solemn tone, making viewers teary-eyed as the HTT girls finished their final festival together. With this in mind, the next episode could have had any tone imaginable. It could have kept the serious, dra...
