My reaction after watching the Promotional clips of Ghost Hound.

Seeing that the director and the script writer of Lain is involved, I was naturally thinking that it’ll be like a philosophical exercise more than anything. My feeling is that, the music sounded more like some of the government conspiracy music from GitS, but with the theme and the overall suggested mood, it’ll probably be [...]

Seto no Hanayome 1-9: The First Third is Free…

[Editor's note: check out our "School Days Demotivational Contest" by clicking the icon on the side bar and also this http://animediet.net/archives/1662] Well, for the longest time including a big chuck of my younger days I was a mecha fan.

Clannad Preview and Some Thoughts on Key Projects (and Harem Shows in General)

I have a conflicted relationship with the harem genre. Love Hina and Oh My Goddess were some of the earliest anime I watched as a fan, and I liked them both (a lot, in fact). They were amusing and nice wish fulfillment, though only because I hadn’t yet become inured to the genre. But aside [...]
