Demotivator of the week
So many captions could’ve gone with that photo. However, I ended up choosing the above Infinite Stratos is so generic it’s painful to watch >_<” Anyway enjoy your weekend everyone! Ippius
Dragon Crisis – hiding lost treasure, or should this go up in flames?
“I love, love, love…………………….[repeat multiple times]…………………….. love you!” The thing I find with Dragon Crisis is that it’s pretty unremarkable bar the fact that it has a some noteable names in the seiyuu industry. It’s not that I find it bad. I just...
Fractale – a shattered illusion of an ultimate paradise?
“Nessa hates Hate, and Nessa loves Love!” The world of Fractale is definitely the most interesting universe that has appeared this season. The setting is unique and the background art is beautiful to say the least. Plot summary from AniDB: “With the...
Kore wa zombie desuka? – is it brain-dead or will it make you die laughing?
“That’s not a kick!!!!” Let me put it straight to you first: I’m not really a fan of moe fanservice rom-coms. I feel this genre receives too much of an audience and too much interest in the anime scene. As a result, what I’m saying about Zombie is f...
Gosick – elementary, my dear Kujo
“Ho ho ho…” Imagine Aisaka Taiga and Sherlock Holmes. That’s essentially what Victorique de Blois is, the gothic-costumed loli detective star of this show. Gosick is showing itself to be relatively solid entertainment, but I would hardly classify thi...
Level E – Close encounters of the extraterrestial kind
“A fluid-like organism from the planet Jacqueline S. It’s name is Clive… Don’t you also think it’s hideous?” Out of all the series shown so far, I have found Level E the funniest and most interesting. It’s got a great concept and has a really engagin...
Demotivator of the week
Been a bit busy, so I haven’t posted up my Level E impressions up yet. They will come soon though, so hang in there! Hope everyone had a good week, and has an even better weekend. Ippius
Yumekui Merry – sweet nightmares~
“I offer my respect to a pioneer of the Real World. There is only one way for us, who have no real bodies, to go there. You too have found a vessel, have you not…” I found Yumekui Merry to be one of the more interesting show aired in the past week. T...
Puella Magi Madoka Magica – Shaft weaves its magic Maho Shoujo style
“It’s over when you give up. But you can change your destiny…” Shaft proves that it can still rock even with its often unorthodox visual take on the mahou shoujo genre. Puella Magi Madoka Magica has good potential and definitely shouldn’t be judged b...
IS: Infinite Stratos – Infinite Stereotypes
“With a first day like this, I can already see my future cast over my unlucky stars…” Well here’s one to watch for the visuals. Infinite Stratos looks pretty good from the outset, with hints of some rather flashy fight scenes, but will definitely be...
And guess who’s back….
After a long hiatus due to a combination of work and lack of motivation, guess I’m opening the blog up for the new year~! Here’s to an interesting year of anime and video games and thanks to all the loyal readers out there! Sorry I was quiet for so l...
Demotivator of the week #42
First of all I must sincerely apologise to the regular readers out there. I will probably be on hiatus till the 15th, as I have some pretty important exams until then, and clearly anime isn’t in my mind at the moment. However I will continue to post...
Demotivator of the week #41
Just making enough time to do some sparse updates whenever I can during the next 2 very busy weeks >_<” thanks for hanging in there and reading~! For all those in ozzy uni readers, good luck for ur upcoming exams~ Cheers, Ippius
Killzone 3 – multiplayer impressions
My first videogame impressions in quite a long time! Sorry guys I’ve been really busy with uni exams heading right towards me >.<” If you’ve owned a PS3 and love the fps genre, Killzone 2 should have definitely been in your library. With its engaging...
Demotivator of the week #40
Inspired by the frequent calls I get from random people from the opposite side of the world. No, I do NOT want to go on a holiday to Honalulu right now, thankyou very much. Cheers and peace out~ Ippius
Yozakura Quartet – Hoshi no Umi OVA: impressions
“It’s because of you that my cute toy came here you know. That’s why, I’ve come to retrieve it, you freaking thief.” Fans of the Yozakura Quartet manga enjoy it for its humour, great art style and interesting concept. This is why the proper anime ser...
Psychic Detective Yakumo – initial impressions
“There is no coincidence in Buddha’s design, only inevitability…” If there’s a genre that never ceases to entertain me, it’s definitely the crime and detective-story type. On the outset, Psychic Detective Yakumo appears to involve both with a dash of...
Previous demotivator
Some of you current readers may have noticed that last week’s demotivator was swiftly put down by the sharp eyes of Photobucket. After some thinking, I’ve decided to reuploaded a cleaner version of the picture for your enjoyment. Cheers, and thanx fo...
Demotivator of the week #39
Okay let’s hope photobucket doesn’t remove my image for being offensive This week I’m playing it safe, so pardon its lack of inspiration. Idea is from the Yozakura Quartet OVA, which to my utter dismay, hasn’t been subbed yet. This makes me a sadpand...
Star Driver – initial impressions
“Dazzling the stage… Galactic Prettyboy!” I’m pretty damn sure Star Driver made a big impression on the show’s viewers with its outrageously fabulous and extravagant mecha designs. Casting that aside, Star Driver has got a semi-intriguing story t...
The World God Only Knows – initial impressions
“When I say I’m interested in girls, I don’t mean that kind!” Yay, another harem series… but it’s not all doom and gloom, as World (as henceforth I shall abbreviate the title) shows great promise and bodes some decent fun for the future! If only the...
Demotivator of the week #38
Geh exams and a rather huge week for me coming up. Anyway this week’s demotivator is based on the anime Star Driver which recently started airing. Don’t get me wrong, I actually really enjoyed this first ep. It’s wonderfully over-the-top in some plac...
To Aru Majutsu no Index II – initial impressions
“Such misfortune…” Aaaaand the ‘biggest’ show of the season has landed, not with a bang, but more like a whimper. Well, at least the season shows a whole lot of promise I guess. I was really intrigued by what they showed us in season I, so season...
Iron Man – initial impressions
“So much for retirement…” Let me get this straight: Iron Man has always been by far my favourite Marvel comic character. In the comics he comes often across as an arrogant prick and genius, generally used to doing things his way (refer to the events...
Bakuman – initial impressions
“Manga is the national pride of Japan! We’re going to leave our mark on history with manga!” It goes without saying that often how well an anime series turns out is directly dependent on how good the original manga is. I’ve mentioned this before, and...
Demotivator of the week #37
Wow half an hour left to go before the end of the week (well where I am anyway)! Lucky~ Bakuman update tomorrow~ busy busy busy Ippius
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt – initial impressions
“Chuck I just realised something. I don’t need a man with stamina or speed. I want elasticity!” Black jokes, toilet jokes, sex jokes, all in the first episode in this deliberately shameless, tasteless, and yet freaking entertaining series. Gainax is...
Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin – review
“History changes, starting from now!” Pardon my recent laziness. I’ve been rather busy/unmotivated lately. Anyway onto the review: in short Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin was a fantastic watch that showed a wide range of comedy and drama. Perhaps the bigge...
Seitokai Yakuindomo – review
“It’s like they say: no scoop, no life.” Seitokai Yakuindomo was definitely one of the most entertaining and fun series to watch this season. Now some of you may disagree, and so be it, but I personally found SYD a great watch that ended way too prem...
Demotivator of the week #36
Mmmmm I really can’t wait for the next season to arrive~ Watching Cross Game at the moment and it’s pretty good actually! Also started watching School Days coz a couple of friends recommended it to me for its ending… Anyhoo today’s demotivator is so...
K-On!! – review
“I’ll be waiting for you to get your asses back here!” About time these moeblobs got out of the spotlight. Yeah yeah I know there’s gonna be 2 more *special* episodes, but they’re more likely going to be filler material, so it ain’t gonna make a damn...
Kuroshitsuji II – review
“From now on, you shall give me only one response. You know it don’t you.” Well THAT was an interesting end to the rather unorthodox second season of Kuroshitsuji. While Kuroshitsuji’s earlier eps reeked of poor filler, what was unravelled later defi...
Demotivator of the week #35
Sorry I’m a bit late again. I’ll try to be more punctual next time! Lots of shows to do reviews of and TGS news too, so stay tuned for a busy week~! Ippius
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi – review
“And they lived happily ever after.” With the 12th episode, Ookami-san’s run has finally ended and I can gladly say that I’m relieved that that’s that. Though it did have some pretty good moments, Ookami-san was riddled with faults that just let my i...
Katanagatari – 09
“The first match between the Shinou Issouh school and the blade-yielding Kyotouryuu was incredibly quiet and anti-climatic. Even so, the match was decided.” Pretty much that sums up the main fight, but that was surely made up for by the rest of the e...
Demotivator of the week #34
Sorry bout the lack of posts. I’ve been pretty occupied lately with work, SCII and anime >_<” When the new season arrives, rest assured there will be more updates!!! Seriously cannot wait for Index S2 and Bakuman. I also recently got hooked on the Y...
