Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 9: 0 x 1

Posted by  On 
It's been a month since Shizuku told Yoshida that she would think about their relationship and in that span of time, Shizuku's dad's store went under but aside from that, nothing much really happened, mainly because Shizuku totally forgot about it and Yoshida never said anything to remind her. Until...

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 8: The Obligatory School Festival Episode

It's the obligatory school festival episode and Shizuku's class has decided to set up a horror booth.

Space Brothers 33: The Moon Rabbit

Posted by  On 
It's been a while since I blogged about this series. I still watch it intermittently. So anyway, in this episode, it's the long-awaited and much-anticipated moon landing. Hibito does what Hibito does best. He's got the exuberance of a child this one, something he never managed to shake off from when...

Jormungand: PERFECT ORDER 6-8 Welcome Home, Tojo

Posted by  On 
Kaspar and his team get into a bit of trouble in Southeast Asia, prompting him to work with Koko in flushing out their Japanese rival. Still smarting from the recent loss of R, Koko decides to help her brother through Tojo, who is a former member of Japan's Special Research (SR) Unit. Meanwhile,...

Zetsuen no Tempest 6-7: She of the Beautiful Smile

Posted by  On 
It's official. I like this series. Why? Because it's so convoluted when it comes to the relationships with its characters. Apparently, Mahiro isn't even blood-related to Aika, which puts the more uncomfortable tension I get between the two in somewhat better light. That doesn't make it any less dark...

2012-2013 Winter Anime Short List

Posted by  On 
The line-up is bad. I mean, I already said that Chihaya Furu will have a season 2, airing this January 2013, so that's one definitely on my short list. And the other one is probably Minami-ke S4. Both series, if you notice, are sequels. It's an abysmal line-up to be sure. For OVAs, only one...

FIRST LOOK: Zetsuen no Tempest 1-5

Posted by  On 
Here's another show that's taken me awhile to hop on to. Zetsuen no Tempest is about two boys, Mahiro and Yoshino, who over a year ago lost someone very important to both of them: Aika, who is Mahiro's sister and Yoshino's secret girlfriend. A few months after Aika's murder, Mahiro disappears,...

NEWS: Chihaya Furu Season Two Confirmed

Posted by  On 
This is probably old news but I am so happy to hear about this. Yay! And it's coming out in January 13 for the Winter 2012\2013 season. Perfect! Especially after looking at the dismal line-up of titles, Chihaya Furu S2 means I have one series I'll definitely look forward to. SOURCE...

FIRST LOOK: Psycho-Pass 1-5

Posted by  On 
So this is the noitaminA show of the season. Psycho-Pass is a science fiction anime set some time in the future. The titular sci-fi technology here is a device that is installed in each person, connecting them to a nifty system, called Sybil, which analyzes a person's "crime coefficient" index...

FIRST LOOK: BTOOOM! 1-5

Posted by  On 
It took me some time to finally pick up this series. I'm really not too fond of videogame-turns-into-real-life anime. I did not like CHAOS;HEAD and even now STEINS;GATE is gathering dust in my hard drive. I also dropped Persona Trinity Soul after only a few episodes and I'm ashamed...

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 4-6: The Green-Eyed Monster

Posted by  On 
This show still entertains. It has its fault. There's little to no character development for example but it's early yet in the series so that might change. And there's a little side-plot hinted at by the introduction of Haru's big brother, Yuzan, but it's not central at the moment as the show...

MANGA: BOTI 217, Claymore 125.5

Posted by  On 
Blade of the Immortal 217 So I got my hands on the raws of the latest chapters of Blade of the Immortal and it's pretty sad. A couple of chapters ago, we said goodbye to one of my favorite female characters in like ever, Otono-tachibana Makie. Her passing was heart-breaking. Samura pretty much...

FIRST LOOK: Sukitte Ii na Yo 1-4

Posted by  On 
This show pissed me off. Honestly. People really find this romantic? I can't believe I wasted some two hours watching this series. Kimi ni Todoke was a drag but at least it had some funny moments which masked the extremely damaging image it created about girls (and women by extension). Both...

FIRST LOOK: Shin Sekai Yori 1-4

Posted by  On 
I thought this show was going to be something along the lines of Another, but no. It's a convoluted little series about a group of kids with psychokinetic powers who discover something mysterious and sinister about the society they're living in. Except that it's not that sinister and the mystery...
