So after all the filehosting dilema’s & SOPA/PIPA nonsense I’ve finally found some time to sit and write about my favorite anime of the season. 4 episodes have passed so I’ve got quite a bit to talk about, not exactly what I expected but I’m not comp...

Three Resident Evil games in one year? As a huge fan of the series, I’m ecstatic about it, however, I’ve had this nagging feeling in the back of my mind ever since RE6 was announced. I felt that maybe the series was spreading itself a bit thin, and t...

This season, I’ve decided I won’t be reviewing any one show. This is mainly due to the fact that there isn’t really any show I want to review this season. So, instead, I’m going to review whatever OVAs and movies air and I can get my hands on. I know...

Something here seems a bit out of place in this anime. What could it be… hint: it’s the sniper rifle. Juubei Kakei – One more of the Ten Braves, a samurai serving under Sanada. His strict moral code doesn’t go very well with Isanami’s pursuit of Saiz...

Well, I have finished cramming Sousei no Aquarion. So, I hopefully won’t sound like a total ignorant. After finishing that show completely, I thought that Shouji Kawamori was on weed or on any drugs. However, after the 4th episode of Evol, I think so...

I’ve been putting off writing this for a few days now, because I think this episode was even slower than the last. The only thing that seemed to be of huge note plot-wise was Kouichi learning about the dead girl who just so happens to be called Misak...

The Japanese Boa Constrictor grows to approximately 10 tons and 100 meters long, and can also self-destruct shortly after death. Introducing Ana, another Sanada ninja who wields ice powers. In addition, she’s Saizou’s childhood friend somehow from so...

I know, what an odd time this is to do an impression on Aquarion Evol. There were some issues here and there, but, hey, better late than never. Aquarion Evol is the continuation of Sousei no Aquarion, 12000 years later into the story. We’re introduce...

The last time I wrote about Chihayafuru, it had a slight confrontation with some people who really, really didn’t like Chihayafuru. Well I’m just going to put it out there that those who do not enjoy Chihayafuru are probably better off not reading th...

Prior to watching this episode, I’d heard incredibly mixed things about it. Some declared it to be far too slow and dull for its own good; others said that the pace worked greatly in its favour and that it was one of the better shows of the season. I...

The Warring States Era, one year prior to the Battle of Sekigahara. The young and directionless Iga Ninja, Kirigakure Saizou, comes across Isanami, a Miko who escaped from Izumo and was being attacked by assassins. Isanami was on her way to Shinshu t...

Finally the sporting anime I’ve been begging waiting for has arrived… at least I hope so. Its been such long time since the last decent sport anime (Giant Killing) which was so good that I’d be more than happy if Knight in the Area was as little as h...

Writing this post seems a tad pointless doesn’t it? If you enjoyed Bakemonogatari then you already know you’ll be watching Nisemonogatari, and despite this episode making an attempt to recap some plot details from the previous season (I say that, it...

Kill Me Baby is the most surprising anime of the season, what at first appears to be nothing more than a light-hearted gag comedy is in fact an intelligent and thought provoking look at the pleasures that make us human. In the case of Kill Me Baby’s...

According to the most recent Season’s Preview done by the Bokutachi no Blog team, it seems that at least half of my writers have never watched Natsume Yuujinchou. I know, now that the series is into its fourth season, it seems daunting to start at th...

I did not know that Recorder to Randoseru had the same anime production studio and the same scripter as Morita-san wa Mukuchi. That was until Mayu and Hana appeared on the very first segment of the show… Mayu was so traumatized that her show had to e...

Happy new year everyone! May the year be filled with happiness and prosperity! So let’s get to what we’re really here for. With every year comes four more anime seasons, and if the Mayan calendar is to be believed (pro tip: it isn’t) it’s the 4th las...

I will not remember December 24th, 2011 as the date of Christmas Eve, but rather as the moment when Fate/Zero Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon ended. Oh well, at least Horizon is getting a second season in Summer 2012. It was to be expected since the number...

By definition anime is all about animation, moving pictures if you get down to the very basics and there certainly was plenty of visual stimulation this year. The magical thing about anime or animation for that mater is that it has the ability to pro...

If you thought Poro was outdated with Honey & Clover for this year’s 12 Days of Anime, think again as I visit an anime that first appeared in 1986. Today, in the spirit of Christmas and Santa Claus, I went to a video store, during shopping, to buy mo...

Kamisama Dolls was my favorite show of the year, allow me to elloborate why and blab on about its awesomeness. So I’ve just watched the first special for Kamisama Dolls and frankly I was very disappointed, it was just a POV clip of Utao trying on var...

I have to be honest: When I first started watching anime, I was drawn to the shows that were fantastical, that involved magic, different dimensions, futuristic worlds, or mecha. Whether it was the ability to manipulate natural elements, mold chakra,...

If I were to materialize sex into a anime, that anime’s name would be Honey and Clover.  But no sex before you are married, right? You can watch Honey and Clover as a substitute before then.  Running Honey and Clover was the best decision Noitamina e...

My favourite anime this year is so far, without a doubt, Mirai Nikki. In a year with Madoka Magica looming over everyone’s heads as the show that’s going to be pointed at for years to come as a high point in anime’s history, that’s an odd thing to sa...
