| 10:54pm | A tribute to Soul Eater 18 | | | | It’s been a long time since my last foray into Soul Eater. Too long, really. And it’s easy to forget just how fun it is, how exciting, how damn awesome.I mean, there are certain things that will always stick out, launch it above other series, and these two episodes were no different. Consider... | | |
| 8:31pm | Cherry picking in autumn | | | | Hello, my name is bateszi. I’m a generic anime blogger and this is my generic autumn preview. Please enjoy these poorly researched comments on anime that I know nothing about, talking about new series with the same pictures, synopsis and links that you can see in dozens of other autumn previews... | | |
| 6:45pm | Actually, Blassreiter is quite good | | | | When Blassreiter started airing in April, I suppose I wasn’t the only one to ignore it, but why is that? Wait, isn’t it obvious? Just two damn words are all it takes.Studio Gonzo.In recent years, despite the odd exception, their name has become synonymous with bland, conventional, boring... | | |
| 6:49pm | A romantic interpretation of Kaiba | | | | I was always going to like Kaiba. Even before it started airing, I had, somewhat dangerously, convinced myself that it would be good. After all, with someone like Masaaki Yuasa directing, I had to expect it would special and well, some five months later, here we are again, I just finished Kaiba this... | | |
| 9:06pm | About an anime fan | | | | I’ve been an anime fan for no more than 5 years and already I’m starting to feel like I’ve been around forever, yet the truth is that my mere half-decade of devotion barely even scratches the surface, after all, some hardy souls have been following this foreign Japanese stuff for more... | | |
| 4:31pm | Bitter sweet school days; All About Lily Chou-Chou | | | | Back in June, I reviewed a Japanese live action film called Linda Linda Linda. It was a great movie, so great, in fact, that it encouraged me to dig deeply into the depths of Japanese cinema. Since then, I’ve been working my way through the recommendations in the comments of that post. It has been... | | |
| 10:45pm | You call yourself human? | | | | I’m not dead, just low on inspiration. That’s all I wanted to say, really, and while I’m trying to come up with some more legitimate ideas for anime blogging, I figured I may as well link a Supercar music video, by far and away my favourite Japanese rock band. Having been procrastinating... |
| 9:02pm | One Piece and why a man is only as good as his word | | | | Brook: “He may think that we’ve betrayed him, but if he’s waiting even now, how miserable must he be? I can’t help but think that he’s believed in us all this time.“Luffy: “Your nakama may be dead, but from now on I’m your rival!“ I love One Piece.... |
| 10:46pm | Soul Eater 11 | | | | If you mess with Tsubaki’s stageI saw your trembling soulIt has a nice scent.Her brother fades.This was the best episode of Soul Eater yet. An episode that’s sweeping, burning with feeling, with animation and character as a synthesis of the soul. Such anime is poetic, exciting and inspiring,... | | |

| 7:05pm | Batman: Gotham Knight isn’t as good as The Animatrix | | | | Designed to replicate the success of 2003’s The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight is another anime anthology riding on the crest of a trendy movie franchise that seems destined, by virtue of Hollywood’s dollar, to be seen by many more people than your average Planetes or Gungrave. Like it... |
| 9:39pm | Bokurano: … I really wish I could’ve died on the Earth I grew up on. | | | | I finished Bokurano this weekend, just as planned. 24 episodes in 5 days isn’t bad at all, as I’ve never been one to enjoy marathoning through anime. After all, I ended up needing nearly 2 whole years to catch up with 300+ episodes of One Piece, so, starting and finishing Bokurano in a matter... | | |
| 5:02pm | On the context of dropping anime | | | | One of the most difficult decisions an anime fan has to make is whether or not to ‘drop’ a series. For me, it’s often a snap decision; not really based on any objective criteria, rather, it depends on how I’m feeling at that specific moment. As a result, I’ll often make... | | |
| 3:16pm | Linda Linda Linda; slice of life done good | | | | While I’m fairly confident that I’ve built up some decent knowledge of anime over the past few years, I can’t say the same for Japanese live action. Sure, I’ve watched many of the cult classics; Audition, Azumi, Battle Royale, Ringu, to name but a few, and there’s no denying... | | |
