Tokyo Magnitude is one of those series. It’s based on a “what-if” scenario: what if modern-day Tokyo were to be hit by a massive earthquake? This actually...

Just kidding. The ABA’s did represent a certain gathering in the aniblogosphere but in some ways it represented the belief of many at the time that money and prestige can be gained from thin air.The motives behind doing...

But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But...

Oh boy, I never saw that one coming. While at first sight cheap, I believe that this was the best choice that they could have made. Imagine what would have happened if they did animate those...

Anime News Network reports that the second airing of Haruhi is only going to take up 28 episodes. Since there now have been fourteen episodes of the second season aired, a quick bit of math shows that the final episodes are going to be the ones that were left...

So sue me.Impressions:First off, they completely ruined the OP for this episode, and that makes me very very sad. It was the same OP as usual, but they added sound effects, like cheering when protagonists appeared, or bounces for the breast wobbles. They’re all obtrusively... Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:58:20 GMT http://nyannyan.animeblogger.net/?p=978 http://nyannyan.animeblogger.net/?p=978 This episode of 07 Ghost starts off with Bishop Lance deciding weather or not bishop candidate’s pass or fail the bishop exam/test. I thought it was interesting that this episode focused on Liam and Ouida passing the bishops exam/test, because these brothers were originally featured in episode nineteen,...

There were unfortunately a few series that disappointed this month, but at the same time there were also a lot of shows that exceeded my expectations about them. I think that the most notable of this season is that it’s the very first season in...

Man, those movies really are damn long, clocking at 2 hours plus each. So well. How were they? Pretty good actually considering the amount of source material they had to work with. I’ve already finished reading the whole manga...

The different approaches to animated filmmaking learned at each respective studio consequently provide the foundation for these directors. Some started out at Toei Doga but migrated...

I’ve been waiting for this for more than four months, but Birdy the Mighty Decode’s OVA is finally here. While it’s not exactly what I expected it to be, I don’t care. It’s always awesome to see more of your favourite series of the year.So yeah, basically this...
