| 8:20am | Some Quick First Impressions: Kimi ni Todoke, 11Eyes and Kobato | | | | Kimi ni Todoke Short Synopsis: Our lead character is that scary girl from Hyakko. No seriously, the two are introduced with exactly the same examples! Ah, finally we have a series that goes with its own art style, instead of one that has been copied from a thousand other series already. That’s... |
| 5:31pm | Some Quick First Impressions: Kobato | | | | 11Eyes Short Synopsis: Our lead character gets woken up every morning by his childhood friend. I swear, I’m getting dejá vus from all of these moe shows this season. This feels like the umpth time I’ve seen fanservice, childhood friends becoming lovers, obnoxious classmates and generic... |
| 4:53pm | Some Quick First Impressions: Shin Koihime Musou | | | | Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 2 - Puzerra Short Synopsis: Our lead character gets to date the most popular, perfect and rich girl in school. And yere we have yet another moe show: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu’s continuation. I’m not really interested in all of the otaku-ish hobbies, but I figured... |
| 2:32pm | Gosenzosama Banbanzai Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Mamoru Oshii really is one of the most unique anime directors out there, his sense of dialogue is really unrivalled. Gosenzosama Banbanzai came from the period in which he was still in his experimental phase. As a result, this has been one of the most unique OVAs I’ve seen, there truly is nothing... |
| 11:27am | First Squad Review - 82,5/100 | | | | I remember how I watched the original First Squad Music Video, and thought to myself “this is awesome, they should make more about this”. Well, someone at Studio 4C must have heard this, because here it is: a full one-hour-length movie about Russia during the second World War. And really,... |
| 9:31am | Konnichiwa Anne - 27 | | | | Another dark and haunting episode for this series. At this point, I’m really doubting how to exactly rate this series in the end: the Marysville arc was very annoying to sit through and contained lots and lots of stereotypes, and yet the Thomas Family was very well developed, and the Hammond-family... |
| 7:18pm | Some Quick First Impressions: Natsu no Arashi! Akinai-Chuu | | | | Miracle Train Short Synopsis: Our lead character tries to help troubled ladies along with his team of bishies. Aha, Iyashi-kei! It’s been a while since we had one of those. This episode really had that typical calming atmosphere of the Iyashi-kei series, but at the same time it also has a lot... |
| 5:40pm | Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood - 26 | | | | Oh my god. Talk about an amazing episode, seriously. This episode contained so many plot twists and amazingly directed action-scenes. It really ranks among the best episodes of this series so far. I’m really beginning to understand why the story of the manga is so highly regarded. To start... |
| 9:17am | Cross Game - 27 | | | | And so, the time has finally come for Kou and Azuma to take on the most challenging team of the preliminaries, including the player whose name Azuma could remember. The question is of course going to be whether the next episode, which is going to focus on the real meat of the match, is going to be... |
| 7:24pm | Some Quick First Impressions: Tentai Senshi Sunred 2 | | | | Yumeiro Patissiere Short Synopsis: Our lead character wants to become a Patissiére. Oh dammit. With a title as “Yumeiro Patissiere”, I was instantly reminded of series as Ristorante Paradiso, Antique Bakery and Bartender: mature series that for once focus on people with actual jobs, rather... |
| 8:06am | Some Quick First Impressions: Shugo Chara! Party! | | | | Letter Bee Short Synopsis: Our lead character delivers packages and fights monsters. Usually, series have a tendency to start out with a bang. Letter Bee however, is different, and instead very much takes its time. The scope of this episode is very limited: we just see three characters: a postal worker... |
| 1:04pm | Basquash! Review - 80/100 | | | | In today’s age, there are few things that could still be considered truly original and never done before. Especially in anime, in which about 90% of all the series are based off of something else, true originality is even harder to come by. Nevertheless, out of all the series for the past... |
