| 5:51pm | Avatar(xADV) on Gurren-Lagann |  | | | Andy’s take is positive and agreeable, albeit short and thus unable to look at the whole picture in detail Gurren Lagann deserves, but that’s blogging for you. But the most interesting character in that respect is Rossiu. He’s there to comment that, no, you can’t run a society... | | |
| 4:22pm | Aroduc on Fight Ippatsu 01 | | | | Why bother torrenting when you can read everything about Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan 01 and Sea Story 01 at Tenka Seiha? I even suspect that it may be more fun to read Aroduc than to watch actual episodes. Also, observe the editorial position: Outside from that though, there really wasn’t any more... | | |
| 8:55pm | Gokusen begins | | | | My rampage through Netflix is winding down as my family is slated to return next week, and it looks like finishing with a bang. Yes, a major character is a dog. When I watch Gokusen, I have to set aside my principles. I do not abide by romantization of crime. It’s destructive. In Russia, it wiped... |
| 7:53pm | Asagiri no Miko ends | | | | For some, it’s an anime about miko magic, but for me it will be about the two little deities. Their substory was that moving. Liked: Yes Rewatch: No Notes: There are not two, but three tracks from Megumi Hayashibara’s center color in the anime, including the insert in the ep.26. Ayatachi... |
| 7:15pm | Bloggers on K-ON 12 | | | | I proclaimed previously that I will watch K-ON if the ending does not suck. After all, it’s the only anime to make an appearance at Lawson’s winter garden, so that counts for something, right? Do bloggers help me to decide? Let’s go down the feedlist. Omo: So many words, so little... |
| 6:14am | Manabi Straight, a visual retrospective | | | | I finally rewatched Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight, years down the road. A small concern appeared recently that Manabi’s magic was not there anymore, but it turned out to be unfounded. “POWERFUL x HAPPY”, “JUST AN SCHOOL GIRLS WITH HAPPY DAYS COME UP SMILING IN EVERYDAY LIFE”:... | | |
| 8:26am | PSgels on Arashi 11 | | | | He’s such a tsundere for Shinbo in this post: I’m really glad that I ended up picking this show back up, because boy, was this episode awesome! For this episode, I feared a bit for Kanako and Yayoi’s lack of airtime, but this episode worked out really well. This episode was full of nice and... |
| 11:07pm | Asagiri no Miko midway | | | | It’s astonishing how blatantly, intentionally unsophisticated this show is. I mean it in a good way, of course. Take, for instance, the way they introduced Kukuri. Although, there are some nice touches, too. For example, watch how Uranami gets Kukuri the bear and stops to watch the play. But it’s... |
| 6:00am | Sunrider Chapter 1 | | | | After Sixten’s announcement about the change of format from VN to a light novel, the Chapter 1 of Sunrider is made available at Samu-kun’s place in PDF format. It’s a good thing, because their flash refuses to work with my Flash 10 plug-in. The effort has moved away from anime, but... |
| 2:06am | Eve no Jikan is paused quickly | | | | The Eve no Jikan was a title that I approached with anticipation and trepidation, and possibly it didn’t help. I suspended it weeks ago on 8 minute 45 seconds mark in ep.1, after learning the word “区別 / kubetsu” (”difference; discrimination”). Yesterdays Penny-Arcade... | | |
| 8:01pm | UFO Valkyrie fails | | | | I continue to burn through shows at an alarming rate. This time it’s UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie (aka UFO Princess Valkyrie) that gets tossed into the reject pile after 4 episodes. Two principal things peeved me the most about it: First, damage to others: The comic property damage is an enshrined... | | |
| 1:18am | Jedko on Azumanga | | | | When young people fail to appreciate Azumanga Daioh, I usually tell them “wait until you’re 35″. Another truism I’m fond of repeating is how there are two kinds of Azumanga watchers: those who laugh when Osaka loses her soap and those who cry (sadly, I never saw Attack No.1,... |
| 12:10am | Magical Play 3D | | | | Due to the way they were presented at Crunchyroll, I watched Magical Play 3D before the proper series, and what a surprise it was. It’s dark and violent, at the level of Naruto. The difference is, Naruto may be naive, but he is not oblivious to the wrongs of his world, whereas the lead of Magical... | | |
| 11:41pm | Ikki Tousen fails badly | | | | When selecting Ikki Tousen I fell a victim of my unfortunate tropism for shapely fighting women, triggered by Chizumatic’s top rotation. Unfortunately, while some frames are pretty, the series itself turned out to be a species of violent porn with pornographic voilence. I used to go around and... | | |
| 11:02pm | Ah My Goddess begins, possibly | | | | In AMG S1, I was looking forward to eye candy, and it does not disappoint. The visual implementation is breathtaking. However, I seem to be unable to abstract the story away. I hate the lead shackling Belldandy in the way he’s done. In my mythology this kind of tricky wish is reserved for villain’s... |
