Anime and Manga Difficult to Write About
  This is less about the nature of the shows but rather my own inability to comment on them in such a way that adds value to those who have seen the show, and/or those who would want to. I noticed that I found myself writing about new shows more often, and finding much to say. This isn’t simply...

Conflicting Emotions on Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 10)
  It became difficult to be ‘really present’ emotionally for the truly powerful scene when Mirai and her mother are reunited The scene itself depicted a strong conflict within Mirai: between the joy, sorrow, and relief of reuniting with her mother; her mother’s cascade of emotions...

Macross Frontier 08 PISSES ME OFF: We Remonstrate Love
  I really wanted to remember love here. I really did. This is going to get ugly. Episode 08: ‘High School Queen’ is the ugliest work of animation in the Macross franchise. While I can’t prove this with scietific and statistical certainty, I will present images to exemplefy and demonstrate....

Gaming Humanity in Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji
  After many recommendations and reading lots of hype, I watched Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji. The unsurprising part: it’s rather very good. I’ll get to that in a moment. The surprising part: I didn’t enjoy it as much as I intended. For such a thoroughly human work, I didn’t form...

Araragi Doesn’t Deserve Your Thanks: Bakemonogatari 10
  Araragi says (to himself, but intended for Nadeko), I don’t have the right to be thanked. I tried to save the person who put the curse on you. This just bugs me. It bugs me a lot. Where does this self-loathing come from? At the resolution of the Nadeko Snake arc, Araragi makes a number of mistakes....

Where the Dead Lie: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 10
  I respectfully ask for your indulgence for writing this piece in a way that it’s thinking aloud.’ The last three episodes of this show calls for (at least at me) to write as ‘raw’ as I possibly could. I find myself changing my mind along the way as I wrote this post. The difference...

Gundam Villains And Sexual Deviancy (Do They Go Hand In Hand?)
  The top right corner features the image in question that has sparked some pretty interesting discussionA lot of people have expressed surprise and even shock at this picture of Alejandro and Ribbons hugging that has been inserted into the special edition volumes of Gundam 00 and with it a new layer...

An Introduction to Warfare in Macross: First Fight (Macross Frontier 07)
  A moment of silence as we remember love for the fallen, and the heroes during 9/11/2001. The episode itself is a showcase of the martial capabilities of the SMS. By this I mean the tactics, the personnel, and the ordnance; and how they all come together against what pretty much counts as an unkown...

As Cruel Gods Go, Haruhi Shows Her Age
  That is to say, she behaves like a teenager. Without mentioning names or sources, indulge me in accepting that many viewers have been declaring their ’sudden’ discovery that Haruhi is a bitch, and that they hate her now. The ‘Sighs’ arc, which occurs prior to her fanboy-making-turn...

The Disappearance of Senjougahara (Bakemonogatari 09)
  Something bothers me a bit when a piece gets too clever for its own good. Where the hell is Senjougahara? Why is Araragi spending so much time with other girls? So much so that Hanekawa can admonish him for it — in a manner of delicious baiting. So yes, this show evokes a harem dynamic and is...

TAKE A RUSTY SPOON AND CARVE MY LIVER OUT; NOW SEASON MY HEARTBURGER WITH IT (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 09)
  I’m sorry to disappoint anyone who reads this blog for fanboying or analysis. It’s not going to happen for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 this week. Not only did it refuse to ultimately clarify the situation regarding a certain robot otaku’s welfare, it remained well within its adopted narrative...

The False Farewell: Macross Frontier 06 (Bye Bye Sheryl)
  She doesn’t get to leave this episode, but delivers a farewell concert. I’ve mentioned in my post on episode two (Hard Chase) that what the Macross Franchise does very well is to stage musical set-pieces. By this I mean there is an actual live performance while events of consequence unfold...

I don’t mind mindscrews, I really don’t; so just tighten it, deeper!
  [SPOILERS WARNING: For Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (up to episode 08), and Bakemonogatari (up to episode 05)] Yeah I enjoyed The End of Evangelion, I even enjoyed the end of the TV series. I enjoyed Perfect Blue and Paprika. I enjoyed Akira, and enjoyed reading Bokurano. I don’t mind being messed with,...

The Inauthenticity of Senjougahararagi: Bakemonogatari 08 (Suruga Monke Arc Ends, Senjougahara Steals Show Again)
  Bakemonogatari is the kind of show that makes me liveblog. Instead of spamming melative and twitter, I went directly to my draft of this post. I went to this method because there’s so much going on — an illusion of subtlety ensues. What I mean is that I don’t think this show is subtle....

Either Way the Death God Turns, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Totally Pwnd Me
  We’re not even sure the ambulance scene is real. The light reflected on the hospital windows triggered the dream sequence. The hospital being over capacity, as depicted in Mirai’s dream sequence now makes sense as something consistent to how hospitals have been described in the narrative....
