| 3:32am | ef ~ A Tale of Melodies |  | | | It’s completely not weird that one of the main relationships the show focuses on is between a high school freshman girl and a guy who is at least 25 with a room full of school girl outfits. Thank god for those beautiful sunsets; they can make anything good in the right light. | | |
| 1:51am | Megazone 23 Part III | | | | Actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be from what everyone says about it. It’s not as wonderfully eighties as Part I but it tells a pretty good self-contained story that still connects to the earlier works. In many ways it’s similar to the other OVA’s that came out in that... |
| 2:43am | Tytania Exceeded My Expectations | | | | The direction, the plot, the music, the tea fetishism, everything about his show is awesome. It is very much like Legend of the Galactic Heroes - what with having the same author, direction, studio, etc. after all - but there are still unique touches that mark this as a different work. The power play... |
| 7:35pm | I Actually Finished ef ~ A Tale of Memories | | | | Let me clarify that statement by saying that when I first watched ef as it aired I thought that the “love stories” it contained were trite, superficial, and above all boring. Lo and behold my finishing the series didn’t change my opinions, though I will admit that ef does climaxes... | | |
| 12:26am | After Watching Chaos;Head | | | | I still like the original game OP better. I’m also wondering how Chaos;Head, a game that came out not even a year ago, got an anime adaption before Jingai Makyou, Gekkou no Carvevale, Saya no Uta, Gore Screaming Show, etc. (well, the reason why Gore Screaming Show isn’t an anime is probably... | | |
| 2:14am | Megazone 23 Part 1 | | | | Is the most eighties thing I have seen yet, even more so than Do You Remember Love? and Zeta Gundam. The show itself basically says that the eighties were the most perfect time in human history for piece and love. Apparently no one remembers the Reagan presidency, but for a bubble-boom Japan I guess... |
| 3:00am | Notes on Gundam 00 Second Season | | | | 1. Needs a snappier title than Gundam 00 Second Season. G00SS is not a viable alternative. 2. I’m not completely sure if I’m watching a new gundam or just rewatching Zeta. A-Laws (it’s a pun, get it?) as fascist military? Check. Louis as an artificial newtype? Check. Can’t wait... | | |
| 6:11pm | Finally Watched the Macross Frontier Finale | | | | From entertainment value alone I loved it. Everything a good space opera finale, and more importantly a Macross finale should be: Planes, lasers, music, and tons of hot-blooded yelling all thrown into one big pot of awesome. SMS’s Captains little manly speech was cool enough, but add with everything... | | |
| 12:12am | Final Thoughts on Code Geass R2 | | | | Is it wrong that I actually want Lelouch to be dead? I agree that there’s stuff pointing to both interpretations, but that was too good of a death scene to waste on him just being alive. Lelouch’s bloody body sliding down to a chained and downright tortured looking Nunally was particularly... | | |
| 6:48pm | The Legend Ends, History Begins | | | | Legend of the Galactic Heroes is everything its name claims it to be, and no legend about heroes is complete without the tragic hero. Even before Shakespeare stories about Hercules and Oedipus Rex showed the fascination people have with great men falling from great heights. It is only fitting that the... | | |
| 1:56am | Thoughts on Code Geass R2 23 | | | | Now Schneizel’s just a noraml megalomaniac villain who wants to nuke the whole world. Very original there. And I have to love that his big evil plan is basically an orbital nuke platform that probably took trillians of dollars to make. Apparently no one in the Geass world has invented ICBM’s... | | |
| 1:20am | Space Pirates Macross Quarter | | | | Now this is the show I wish I had been watching for 22 episodes, where the the battleship of quirky badasses fended off vengeful aliens and autocratic conspiracies alike, and where the misguided romance of the newest recruit was nothing more than a comedic side-story. Instead the side-story is the... |
| 9:27pm | Sometimes Tokusatsu is Weird | | | | And sometimes it’s just fabulously weird. Even the reason the show gives makes no sense at all. This weird Kamen Rider moment has been brought to you because commenting on Lelouch’s gay hat is only so funny after twenty times. |
| 7:44pm | Impressions: Kamen Rider Ryuki | | | | The bone crunching sound here is great for the kids. TV-Nihon released the first four episodes of Kamen Rider Ryuki, and me being me I had to check them out, even if there is no guarantee this isn’t just a fluke and there are no more episodes on the way. Now, I’ve seen the first episodes... |
