Area no Kishi: 2nd Impression/Re-cap/Catch-up/blah blah
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...
A look at gaming – Review: Resident Evil: Revelations
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...
Kyousogiga
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...
Brave10 Episode 3
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...
Aquarion Evol Episode 4: More reincarnation hypothesis!!
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...
Another – episode 02
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...
Brave10 Episode 2
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...
First Impressions – Aquarion Evol Ep 1-3: The Return of a big sex joke
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...
First Impressions – Ano Natsu de Matteru
To my surprise, after watching the first episode, I can safely conclude that Ano Natsu de Matteru (Waiting in the Summer) is the spiritual remake of Please Teacher!. You’ll find similar plot, setting, characters and opening. I was expecting some nost...
It’s All About the Queen
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...
First Impressions – Another
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...
Brave10 Episode 1 and First Impressions
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...
First Impressions: Area no Kinshi
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...
First Impressions: Nisemonogatari
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...
First Impressions – Kill Me Baby
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...
First Impressions: Natsume Yuujinchou Shi
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...
First impressions: Recorder to Randoseru
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...
First Impressions: Rinne no Lagrange
The first show I watch of the season & year just happens to be one of the shows I’m most excited for so yay for me. It was a pre-air episode so the quality wasn’t great but I won’t hold that against it. (Also why the screencaps aren’t that great, sor...
Team Zero’s Winter 2012 Season Preview
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...
Review: Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon
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...
12 Days of Anime – Final: Year in Pictures
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...
12 Days of anime #3: M.D. Geist for Christmas
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...
12 Days of Anime #4: Kamisama, Dolls for all ages
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...
12 Days of Anime #5: How ‘Slice of Life’ Made a Home in My Heart
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,...
12 days of anime #6: BEST FUCKING SHOW EVER!!!!
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...
12 days of anime #7: asread shatters my expectations, laughing all the while
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...
12 Days of Anime #8: TiTs
So we all know that sex sells and the anime industry is no different nor a stranger to sexiness. However when I intially thought up the concept for this post I was evidently thinking of last year becasue as I found out there were considerably less (e...
12 Days of Anime #9: Samurai Champloo and my rediscovery of Nujabes
[a brief explanation on the dates of the 12 days posts, me and jGLZa both live in South Africa, and while these posts have come out once each day for us, the site displays them differently, anyway...] Samurai Champloo is one of my favourite series of...
12 Days of Anime #10: 10 Days of Moshidora
Day 10 and today I’m taking you all back to a rather trying time in Japan. If you recall Japan was struck by some truely awful earthquakes which lead to destructive tsunami’s as well. This affect the whole of Japan and obviously the anime industry, m...
12 Days of Anime #11: noitaminA; a Good Return
As today is the 1st Thursday of our 12 Days of Anime series I thought it be appropiate to cover the one thing that we all look forward on a Thursday. Yep, I’m talking about noitaminA. Supposedly the slot reserved for the top rated anime of the season...
This is not only a Fate/Zero post…
Hey, I’m finally back from final exams! Let’s see; I’m 3 episodes late on Fate/Zero… Well, I could start covering them all, but that would take too much time since I’m totally out of shape, writing-wise (and physically). Instead, for this week only (...
12 Days of Anime #12: Rio: Rainbow Gate is the best worst show of the last few y...
Can you believe it’s nearly Christmas already!? I haven’t been with the blog very long but it feels like I joined just yesterday. I know everyone says it but it’s incredible just how quickly the year flies by. Anyway, as is something of an anime blog...
Persona 4 the Animation – Episode 09 and Gooney’s brief apology
I’m going to get this out of the way first so that I can talk about this episode of Persona 4 uninterrupted. I’ve barely had any time this week (I wanted to write this post a few nights ago, but I went to a Deadmau5 concert and was completely drained...
Oh AniplexUSA: I’m drooling, but I’m too poor
Aniplex will finally release Fate/Zero Season 1 on Blu-ray, with awesome extras,…as an IMPORT. Yup, AniplexUSA will pull another Kara no Kyoukai-esque release, just as many predicted. The first 13 episodes of Fate/Zero will be released by Rightstuf o...
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai – Episode 08
So about this week’s coverage of Persona 4, I really did plan on writing a post today and it’s not that I haven’t had enough time as me posting this shows. No, it’s that while I really, really enjoyed this week’s episode (It was utterly hilarious at...
Fate/Zero Episode 8: Weak Females are Weak…Blame Type-Moon
Another Fate/Zero episode is out. Uryuu Ryuunosuke and his fans are sad to announce that no children were killed. And no, I didn’t sing any Tentacle Rape or Caster songs (referencing to my previous post) here. 10 persons out of OVER 200 liked the so...
