| 10:14pm | Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ouki 2 Review - 77,5/100 | | | | Well, so here’s my review of the second OVA of the series that has the dubious honour of having been ripped off the most amount of times by lazy writers. It also includes the special Bangaihen episode that aired in between the first two OVAs for convenience’s sake. Overall, you can see... |
| 12:28pm | Konnichiwa Anne - 34 | | | | Okay, so this was a mixed bag. It would have been a great episode actually, but some of the faces in this episode were drawn really weird. When Anne got back to Tessa, the look on their faces was just rushed and overly cheesy. That ruined what could have been a powerful moment. Nevertheless though,... |
| 4:24pm | Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood - 33 | | | | Haha! I knew it! Even though the creators may have been trying to not show Marcoh’s new face for a while, they still were trying too hard in the way that absolutely nothing of his face was shown. Not even hints. Besides, the total absence of Mai Chang also showed that the hooded guy that travelled... |
| 3:07pm | Aoi Bungaku - 07 & 08 | | | | Holy crap, a double feature of one of my favourite currently airing series. Can things get any better? Episodes 7 and 8 animate the story of Kokoro. I’m not going to bother making separate entries for these two episodes, because they were bundled together as one. And really, Kokoro is just as... |
| 1:49pm | Cross Game - 34 | | | | Japan: the only country in which elementary schoolers can become masters of aikido. After watching anime for quite a while, I still haven’t figured out how they manage to pull off their notorious work ethic. In any case, another very nice episode for this show. There’s lots of slice of... |
| 9:57am | Kemono no Souja Erin - 45 | | | | whoa. Just when I thought that this show couldn’t pull any more plot twists. This episode yet again pushes the story into a completely different direction. Obviously, if you haven’t seen this episode yet: beware for spoilers because this episode ties up a lot of the mysteries in this series.... |
| 10:02pm | Letter Bee - 08 | | | | While still formulaic, this show has just gotten an a bit more interesting. We’re still in the formula of “Lag meets someone related to the plot, Lag cries, lag tries to save”, but the plot in question has gotten quite a bit more interesting now, and this episode did well in exploring... |
| 7:17pm | White Album - 21 | | | | Oh god, guess who’s back? The one guy who could only turn this into an even bigger drama than it already was. He’s changed a lot, though. He was this confident asshole, but now he’s more like a wimpy moron. However, the impression he left on Misaki remains. In any case, this episode... |
| 4:17pm | Armed Librarians - The Book of Bantorra - 08 | | | | This show just continues to blow my mind with every episode. This episode again did such a wonderful job of tying the whole arc together in one heck of a climax. This show doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, does it? Okay, so the big secret? The white-haired guy can absorb books. Therefore... |
| 3:20pm | Kuchuu Buranko - 06 | | | | Whoa, this series has really gotten significantly better in the past couple of episode. It’s hard to imagine that the first few episodes were a bunch of depthless guys, because this episode had a really good main character to play with. There’s something with teenagers making an appearance... |
| 1:05pm | Star Crossed Four Year Anniversary~New IRC Channel | | | | I think that at the time that I started this blog, I never would have guessed that I’d still have it four years later; it really was created on a whim, and eventually I just never had any intention or reason to quit it. Anyway, today marks Star Crossed’s fourth anniversary. Like I also did... |
| 2:42pm | Darker than Black - Ryuusei no Gemini - 07 | | | | An interesting choice for an episode this time. In a lot of other series, this episode was surprisingly formulaic, and yet I only noticed this when the end-credits rolled. There are only two real plot twists in this episode. The rest can all be reduced back to character-building. But I have to say... |
| 7:29pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 21 | | | | Well, the third arc was awesome: it had a new twist in just about every new episode and kept holding the balls in the air with increasingly astonishing plot twists. In comparison, the past two episodes have really been a let-down. Especially considering how the creators have the arduous task of filling... |
| 4:14pm | Gungrave Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Wow, what a ride. The underworld is a popular setting for anime, and this genre has already produced quite a few wonderful gems, such as Kaze no Youjimbo, Michiko e Hatchin, Baccano and many more. Gungrave, without a doubt, also belongs in this list. This series tells about the lives of two thugs... |
| 6:05pm | Kimi ni Todoke - 07 | | | | Now this is more like it. This episode was a major step in the right direction for me: simple slice of life with a bit of subtle drama here and there, instead of the forced and dragged-out cheese around a simple misunderstanding. It just showed the characters hanging out, while fleshing them out at... |
