| 1:52pm | Grave of the Fireflies Review - 85/100 | | | | I actually watched this movie once before. It was about five years ago, I think. I just had discovered the wonders of the online anime community, and therefore was also keen on trying out the supposed “best anime ever”. It’s a movie that always gets listed among the most famous pieces... |
| 10:22am | Konnichiwa Anne - 32 | | | | Ah, thankfully this episode did a great job in portraying the orphanage that Anne ended up in. The owner was very down to earth, and the other orphans weren’t just evil for the sake of evil, but just a bunch of bratty kids, put off by how Anne made a complete enemy out of the entire orphanage... |
| 9:24pm | Aoi Bungaku - 05 | | | | Oh, I love this. The various adaptations are really all going to be completely different: different graphics, different soundtrack, different OP. The only thing that’s the same is the ED. This episode was awesome, but for totally different reasons as No Longer Human was. What he hell have I... |
| 8:27pm | Ushiro no Shoumen Dare Review - 80/100 | | | | Before I start, I’d like to note that this is actually my 500th anime review I’ve written for this site. Gosh, time sure goes fast. Anyway, for this review I wanted to do something special, and therefore decided to pick out a very unknown movie, watch it and hopefully give a bit of attention... |
| 4:06pm | Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood - 31 | | | | The animation in this episode felt a bit off fro usual. Especially in the first half, the charactr’s expressions lacked sould and detail, it seems. This is especially strange considering we just had a recap a few weeks ago. My guess is that something went wrong with the outsourcing this time,... |
| 3:22pm | Cross Game - 32 | | | | Ah, it’s just as I hoped: the arrival of Akane brought the spark back to this series. It’s once again a delight to watch the slice of life in this series. This episode was stuffed with tons and tons of subtle jabs towards all of the different characters. Now this is what Cross Game is... |
| 9:05am | Kemono no Souja Erin - 43 | | | | For everyone who has yet to watch this episode: close this window, don’t look at spoilers, wait for the subs to release and watch this episode. It’s one of those episodes you don’t want to get spoiled about. This line of text is there to prevent these spoilers from showing up at... |
| 10:01pm | wHITE aLBUM - 19 | | | | Um what? What?! I should have known. I should have bloody known. Don’t get me wrong, this episode wasn’t exactly bad. The creators just did it again: as if the current storyline wasn’t already screwed up enough: the long-haired singer girl starts flirting with Touya. Technically... |
| 9:14pm | Armed Librarians - The Book of Bantorra - 06 | | | | This sereis just continues to defy my expectations. It’s so incredibly fresh and imaginative; it takes nothing for granted and really goes with its own direction, rather than relying on a bunch of clichés. Of ocurse, I’m not sure how the rest of this sereis will turn out, but out of all... |

| 10:57am | Kuchuu Buranko - 04 | | | | This time: a baseball player. It’s interesting how every episode of Kuchuu Buranko deals with the media of some sort. This formulaic format limits creativity: unlike Aoi Bungaku the variety isn’t really this series’ strong point. Instead, what it needs to do is make the whole series... |
| 10:22pm | Darker than Black - Ryuusei no Gemini - 05 | | | | Ah, so after the initial blast and fast pace, these few episodes take a step back in order to build up for the second half of this series. It’s a tried and true formula, and these episodes despire their quiet nature are still well written and make use of their time to develop and flesh out the... |
| 12:47pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 19 | | | | This episode takes a bit of a step back as it explains more about “Gretel”’s past. Her classmates were stereotypical to say the least, but at least it’s good to see a bit more attention for her, and a bit of a more detailed report of what happened to Eva after the massacre... |
| 9:37pm | Gasaraki Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Right now, I’m going to be saying something that I never would have thought to claim a year and a half ago: Sunrise Mecha-series rock! Of course, I’m not talking about their cheesy Gundam or Code Geass series, but their lesser known works: I’ve seen quite a few of them by now, and... |
| 10:46am | Kimi ni Todoke - 05 | | | | Every time I watch this show I get reminded of how utterly bland Kazehaya is/ He doesn’t feel like a character, and much more like a bunch of plot devices to get to Sawako’s development and the author’s view on morals and values. Fortunately, he only appeared in the first quarter... |
