Anime Diet

Wow we finally got a OP song! By Minorin! It felt like they didn’t have time to record a song and had to present it on episode 4! The first 3 episode went by like a dream. More like an OVA to be exact. The animation was clearly more detailed and there was more tension. [...]

In engineering, a black box is a representation of a device where you know the input and the output, but not necessarily what’s in between. How fitting that a mysterious “hospital” looks like a giant black cube in the middle of a forest…and a fitting metaphor for the show. We know the outcome–heads in boxes, [...]

…is also a song of death. And goth anthems sung by Rei Ayanami clones.

It’s only episode 4 and I’m already in love with the characters. Isn’t it awesome when the cast is just right and they interact so well?

Note: Look for Mike’s review later. You know my style so do not expect any deep analysis! All right, ending number 1: Taku is the demon god. The girls are here to take the demon god out. Ending number 2: the demon has not yet “Descended” on him, but that will happen soon. Ending number [...]

…is a song of death. And is that really all Kuze’s story is–another terminal illness melodrama?

I think I understand what’s going on…

You know I’ve got one thing to say: Can you say, Fight club? If I’m right, all I’m gonna say is that, the more bizarre something is, the more likely people will predict it. Please, I hope I’m wrong.

Anyone else noticed that the person who made Kuromitsu a vampire had blond hair? Is that a tribute or a nod to the origin of vampire stories? What Kuromitsu and Kuro (yeah, some kind of Japanese pun/connection, no doubt) talks and does in the show simulates much of the western vampire tales, except the setting [...]

Uh… Um… Wow… GROTESQUE! GROTESQUE! SUPERFREAKING MOTHERFUCKING GROTESQUE!!!!!!! Damn, part 2 definitely blew part 1 away! Part 2 could very well be the nightmare of many moe fans out there! Having someone using a little girl voices singing: “Your pussy (cat) is enough and that pig slut…” Uh…or Ugh…Wow… KRAUSER-TAN! SAIGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEWWWWWW…. You just gotta [...]

OK, I was wrong. The arc is as much about Mei as it is about Youhei, and about what it means to be a responsible brother. Curse you, moe cosplaying hot Sanae for being such a red herring!
