Review: End of Summer 2011 Season and Still Standing

Review: End of Summer 2011 Season and Still Standing

As we’re closing in to the end of 2011, we are entering the end game. The game to end it all. The time to both looking forward to how the prophecy would turn out as well as dreading any of the possible outcomes that have been secretly laid beneath the waves of time since the [...]

Kami-sama no Memo-chō 10 is why

Kami-sama no Memo-chō 10 is why

That I wanted to watch this anime and like the light novel very much. This is where everything begin. This is why the show, the light novel, and whatever else means so much. Ayaka‘s story. This is where it all begins. This is when Narumi really met Alice and the Scooby-Do gang for the first [...]

Blood C – kill ‘em all Tomino hiding among the staff?

Blood C – kill ‘em all Tomino hiding among the staff?

  Good God, man! Stop the overflowing of blood! It’s massive and tiresome. And stop the kill them all plot line! I mean, sure, for the drama, THIS IS BLOOOOOOOOOD C! Right? But sheesh, this type of nearly complete overturning of character list by killing nearly 98 % of them is just way too fucking [...]

Sacred Seven Fell by a Stone Cold Stunner

Sacred Seven Fell by a Stone Cold Stunner

And that’s what I hated to see. But it has happened. Yes, the show is nearly stone cold. And not in a good way… All right, a little confusion (not to mention cheesiness) on my part. However, I’ll list the things I like and not like about it. Then I’ll explain why I feel it’s [...]

Kamisama Dolls – the issues of being a B+ Anime

Kamisama Dolls – the issues of being a B+ Anime

Let me get this out of way. Yes, I like this show. And no, I’m NOT biased toward it, even with Hibino and her big (and yes, holy and wonderful ) bosom going around mesmerizing me. Or the moe little sister Utaou doing a little tsundere and totally stuck on Kyohei, our nearly totally flat [...]

Yuruyuri 8 spins me right round baby right round

Yuruyuri 8 spins me right round baby right round

  Chitose and Chizuru – what a sister combo! It’s just f’ing awesome that Chitose and Chizuru both fantasizes like crazy. And I feel like Ayano, spinning round and round trying to wipe their bodily fluids off their faces! Wow! That imagery was so wrong! But that’s part of what I like about this show, [...]

Blade – a good action anime for a Japanese Sunday morning

Blade – a good action anime for a Japanese Sunday morning

I’m not a comic book guy and never read the comic, nor did I watch the movie, so I can only comment from an anime watcher’s point of view: First of all, this is a good anime. It’s good not because of powerful emotions or particularly smart plots. As for the drama, it’s competently done [...]

R-15, No. 6, Kamisama Dolls, Nekogami, Mayo Chiki, Blade and Kamisama no Memocho

Yuruyuri – getting it right like no one else’s business

Yuruyuri – getting it right like no one else’s business

Excuse me while I take my glasses off… (fantasizing and nose bleeding and making a river of nose blood…) Wow, OK. I almost died there! (Tissue, tissue…) But yes, watching such a upbeat show with awesome chemistry, not to mention having cute girls falling for each other will do that to ya. If you love [...]

Penguin Drum 1 to 5 – F^&king dysfunctional

Penguin Drum 1 to 5 – F^&king dysfunctional

All right, managed to watch all five episodes that are out…and I feel sick and tired because of it. And today is actually Sunday! Totally sickening and never tries to even remotely please the real Otaku audience that would actually buy something that actually cater to them (hey, studios need to make money). EPIC FAIL. [...]
