Shukufuku no Campanella episode four
Ahhh speak of the devil when the good anime’s latest episode turns bad, I hope that the bad anime’s latest one turns good. From last week’s preview, it looked like we were heading off to the hot springs and with this kind of anime that seems to just...
HIGHSCHOOL OF THE DEAD episode four
I was disappointed in not only what Takashi wouldn’t do when he was alone with the love of his life but how Madhouse used to episode to basically take a break and fill 80% of it with just recaps. Since they basically that, so will I with my thoughts...
BLACK ROCK SHOOTER OVA
This damn show was supposed to air last season but was pushed back due to some difficulties and I gave up my hopes on it being aired this year. But thankfully, it’s here and I’m going to bring you a lot of damn full coverage of this OVA. I won’t gi...
writer update: blindability
Hello Everyone: I’m not too sure how many people have been following Katanagatari and reading my reviews, but if you’re one of the few, than you might have noticed that Episodes Six and Seven have NOT been posted. Unfortunately, due to a really hecti...
k-on!! episode sixteen
Another Azu-nyan episode and probably the best of all we’ve seen so far. I would account it to the balanced mix of screen time between her senpai and her classmates. Plus we had the opportunity to see Azusa interact with a couple of the senior girls...
Shukufuku no Campanella episode two
After reading several mixed reviews of Shukufuku no Campanella, I have come to realize that not a lot of people really enjoyed. Well, if you’re reading this post, I think it’s fair for you to know that although I do enjoy the moments of it, it’s not...
Kimi no Iru Machi chapter 74 + 75
Let’s start off with a news flash – despite having to blog nearly half the summer 2010 anime season by myself as the other members of Team Zero are on holiday, I will continue to blog this manga. Some of you doubted that I would continue this series...
k-on!! episode twelve
No. School. Uniforms. At. All! No music either though… And here I thought we might get some music (though I hadn’t been foolish enough to anticipate hearing from our After School Tea Time girls in particular) this episode considering the setting was...
arakawa under the bridge episode twelve
Wishing on a shooting star (or two for that matter) has never been more entertaining. I admit I have no idea what the opening shared monologue narrated by Nino and Recruit means. I didn’t know what it meant last week and I don’t know what it means th...
arakawa under the bridge episode eleven
It was kind of funny to see Recruit getting nervous about Shiro-san looking over his business proposal to counter his father’s development plans because, despite being a former white collared worker, Shiro-san was probably the one person Recruit had...
Anime for the Sake of Anime: Love Hina
Love Hina – “The story is a shōnen comedy that takes place in the Kanagawa Prefecture, and centers on Keitaro Urashima and his attempts to fulfill a childhood promise that he made with a girl to enter Tokyo University together. However, he has forgot...
k-on!! episode eleven
Episode Eleven of K-On!! is titled “Hot” which is timely since it’s summer where I am. I’ll admit that a summer in my city probably isn’t as hot as a summer in their city but it makes you sleepy and lazy nonetheless – which means less work gets done...
Anime for the Sake of Anime: Amaenaideyo!!
Amaenaideyo!!/Amaenaideyo!! Katsu!! – “Hatanaka Ikko, a 16 year old boy, is a first year trainee at the Saienji Buddhist Temple. He was sent there by his parents to be trained by his grandmother, the Saienji Priestess. At the temple he finds himself...
Anime for the Sake of Anime: Introduction
For the summer of 2010, I’m not going to be blogging a lot of different shows but since this season is looking pretty dull, I’m going to use this time to do reviews of older series that many sites have not done. There are over 1000000+ anime in the...
Sekirei ~pure engagement~ first impressions [episode one]
And the first of the summer 2010 season airs! It even comes with the OP sequence! First of all, pardon the screencaps since I had to watch this aired with the stupid headers. Secondly, let’s start off with the musical OP and the ED – truthfully, I h...
k-on!! episode ten
Best episode EVER. And not just because there was more Mugi this episode which was awesome too since I heart Mugi. Everything we look for in K-On!! we got – and it’s about bloody time! With the focus more on Sawa-sensei this episode I was originally...
bokutachi no summer chart
Also known as the “Who’s Watching What” chart.
b gata h kei episode ten
Spiral’s asked me to cover him for B Gata H Kei this week which is funny because I said I wouldn’t be following this show at the beginning of the season. …But I am. At first I didn’t because the plot synopsis sounded so dumb, but after reading a few...
arakawa under the bridge episodes nine & ten
And here I thought I would have time to write Episode Nine before Episode Ten came out, but thanks to the wonky timing of releases, I’m doing two in one. Episode Nine didn’t advance the storyline much, focusing more on Stella’s affections for Sister...
Summer Anime 2010 Preview
Another season has gone and another season is about to arrive. With many students and adults enjoying the possibilities of vacation and freedom, Japan has brought up an arsenal of anime series that some of these people will take their precious time...
Why We Shouldn’t Have been Null-ified
This get really annoying after the fact that we’ve been kicked out. For that, this post will dedicate itself to explaining why we are the grand masters of this match-up and why the Null Set should’ve not made it through to the next round. This post...
k-on!! episode nine
Try harder, Yui. Try harder. I know we always give Yui a hard time what with her senselessness and being a Space Cadet, but she proves this week that she can handle school and music simultaneously, reaping good results with each respectively. Of cour...
Aniblog Tourney Update
For those of you who are following the Aniblog Tourney, you might have already seen this: As a result, our match with The Null Set has been declared a draw, and we both advance to the next round, facing off with Unmei Kaihen in round three. Thanks to...
k-on!! episode eight
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...
arakawa under the bridge episode eight
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...
Durarara 17 and 18: Wounds
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...
k-on!! episode seven
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...
arakawa under the bridge episode seven
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....
Kaichou wa Maid-sama! episode seven
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...
k-on!! episode six
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...
Kimi no Iru Machi 89 – Greetings
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...
arakawa under the bridge episode six
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Star Head versus Recruit in musical talent, so I wasn’t the least bit disappointed with the performance that we got. Star Head is like Phoebe from Friends: their songs aren’t great, but they’re a hit with the people...
Katekyo Hitman Reborn 288 – Bodyguard
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...
Giant Killing! episode 6
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...
Senkou no Night Raid 2,3,4: 4.5/10
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. ...
