| 9:07pm | Konnichiwa Anne - 29 | | | | Well, I actually forgot to publish this post after I wrote it. That’s a headdesk-moment right there. Obviously I’m not in the mood of writing everything all over again, but I do want to say that this episode confirmed my fears of the return of the cheese in this series. It wasn’t... |
| 6:29pm | Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood - 28 | | | | Any attention-paying viewer will probably have caught this episode’s major plot twist unsubtly foreshadowed in the OP. I did not. Seriously, I thought that that pony-tailed guy was that bomb dude, the one who kept blowing up his comrades in the first season. Don’t as me why, but I never... |
| 2:45pm | Cross Game - 29 | | | | Well, for a moment it might have seemed that the excessive hinting from the creators would ruin the surprise. I’ve said this many times before, but the baseball matches of Cross Game just don’t match up to those of Touch, in which you hardly ever knew how a match was going to end. Cross-Game... |
| 7:39am | Aoi Bungaku - 02 | | | | Yes, with this episode I’m sure of my Top 3 of the autumn season: 1) Aoi Bungaku, 2) Armed Librarians and 3) Darker than Black. Kuchuu Buranko is indeed awesome, but it’s only awesome for its style, not its substance. Aoi Bunagku is awesome for both its style AND substance. This episode... |
| 6:42pm | Letter Bee - 03 | | | | As your typical shounen-series, we’ve now gotten to the point in which Lag is going to have to take the examinations of the Letter Bees. This isn’t bad at all. Although overused, even the best shounens as Hunter x Hunter used it, with a number of great results. As long as Lag grows beyond... |
| 5:35pm | White Album - 16 | | | | Surprisingly I found very little to rage about in this episode Instead of that, I should congratulate Touya for finally getting himself an answering machine. Damn, if he had that thing, how different would the first season have looked? However, the cast of characters still are a miserable bunch. The... |
| 7:25pm | Some Quick First Impressions: Kuchuu Buranko and Kiddy Girl-And | | | | Kuchuu Buranko Short Synopsis: Our lead character is stressed out. What is up with the raw providers this season? First Aoi Bungaku and now this. Are they allergic to shows that don’t focus on cute teen-aged girls or something? Anyway, Kuchuu Buranko yeah. What is there really to say? It’s... |
| 6:45pm | Armed Librarians - The Book of Bantorra - 03 | | | | The more I watch this series, the more I’m convinced that it’s one of the big powerhouses this season. Even taking Darker than Black and Aoi Bungaku into account, I still keep edging to this series as my current favourite of the Autumn season, and this episode only made this show even... |
| 2:24pm | Summer Wars Review - 80/100 | | | | Summer Wars is the latest highly anticipated movie from Mamoru Hosoda, the director of Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo. As expected, the movie comes with a lot of ideas, attention to detail and really attempts to innovate. It’s a very nice movie, however I didn’t like it as much as The Girl Who... |
| 8:53am | Darker than Black - Ryusei no Gemini - 02 | | | | As for the shows I’m not going to blog: - Sasameki Koto has some interesting points, but after two episodes it looks too much like it’s going to turn into an endless “will they won’t they” storyline. Anyway, the reason why I didn’t blog the first season was simply... |
| 9:50pm | Some Quick First Impressions: Kiddy Girl-And | | | | Kuchuu Buranko Short Synopsis: Our lead character is stressed out. What is up with the raw providers this season? First Aoi Bungaku and now this. Are they allergic to shows that don’t focus on cute teen-aged girls or something? Anyway, Kuchuu Buranko yeah. What is there really to say? It’s... |
| 8:28pm | Yobi - The Five-Tailed Fox Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Well, so I finally managed to find this Korean animated movie: Yobi - The Five-Tailed Fox, otherwise known as the impossibly named “Chonnyonyeouu Yeouub”. At first sight, it’s yet another children’s adventure: mystical girl (in this case, a fox spirit) meets regular boy, the... |
| 2:15pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 16 | | | | A very solid episode this time, and instead of the chaos of the past few episodes, it was surprisingly slow-paced as it showed the aftermath of what happened in the previous episode, as well as develop the current storyline even further. The past few episodes also completely changed how you should... |
| 8:58am | Kimi ni Todoke - 02 | | | | As for the series I’m not going to blog: - I have no idea what to write about Sunred on a weekly basis. Nevertheless, that Tempura-monster was hilarious. - I have to give Yumeiro Patissiere credit: against all my expectations, the fairies did not give the lead character any powers whatsoever,... |
