Kaiba 2 – Sex for Gnostics?

Kaiba 2 – Sex for Gnostics?

That was one of the strangest explorations of sexuality that I’ve ever seen in anime. Or, at least, it beats maid robots and right-hand girlfriends.

Review–Rebuild of Evangelion 01: You Are Not Alone (Or Are You, Mr. Anno?)

In which Michael fails to talk objectively and fairly about this refreshed version of the anime which started his fandom, and which gave him his first anime crush hero: Hideaki Anno, who is still the writer and director.

Code Geass R2, Episode 4: Tying the Gordian Knot

Lelouch is a complete dick and no one knows about it but him.

Kamen no Maid Guy – how much sadistic pleasure can an Otaku enjoy?

Kamen no Maid Guy – how much sadistic pleasure can an Otaku enjoy?

Plenty, since it’s about a big breasted teenage girl getting her life messed up by some warrior guy who’s acting as a servant/maid…”My service has nothing to do with your condition (needs)!” In this episodes, she loses all her dignity as her secret longing for love becomes public as maid guy reveals all her magazines [...]

First Look Fair: Kure-nai

First Look Fair: Kure-nai

Ray couldn’t quite put his finger on it. I confess that I still can’t quite, either–though here’s an attempt to try to figure out what makes this odd comic drama stand out not just this season, but in anime in general.

First Look Fair: Kaiba

First Look Fair: Kaiba

Our bodies, and not ourselves? This most unusual anime–if it can even be called that in the usual sense–is certainly intriguing, but it’s also far too early to tell what to make of it.

Golgo 13 – oh! I think that’s the reference.

Golgo 13 – oh! I think that’s the reference.

The place where Jesus Christ was crucified was called “Golgotha” in Aramaic (Hebrew). The symbol for Golgo 13 is a skeleton with a strange, thorn-like crown on its head. This probably means nothing, just like Eva’s imageries. In this episode, once again, we get to learn how much god-like DUKE is. (Has anyone noticed that [...]

Nijou-Mensou no Musume ep02 – grow up faster!

Nijou-Mensou no Musume ep02 – grow up faster!

I can see why Aya-chan wants to challenge this show. She has to act in a young, and yet pretty intelligent voice (which she kind of does) and then she’d have to act smart, sexy and grown up. That, I can’t wait. In this episode, Chizuko learns to be part of the gang, wards off [...]

A minor editorial concerning Ikari “Mike” Gendo’s Death Note

From the Editor’s Desk at The Diet 3 Daily – As the competition for the Anime Blogging Awards heats up, we here took a peak at some of the “Death Notes” that our staff members own (because we all got the Eye of Death, silly). In order not to spook anyone (yeah like for real), [...]
