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...

But that wasn’t that hard now was it. Congrats to Minorin and Nagisa for making it this far. From what I understand, all the main cast of Lucky Star are now officially out of the contest. What a difference from last year. Next match-ups, love and support...

I know this was a relatively serious episode but I couldn’t resist the sexual innuendos. Oh god, maybe I’m starting to turn in to Shin. God help us all. Anyways, this is possibly the most serious arc of the show so far, since a poor helpless girl almost got cursed to death...

So just when you think K-ON was having a bad Saimoe year, two characters from the series advance on the same day. Unfortunately Index had to lose in the first round. Maybe if all those votes for Kaori went to her instead nevermind. Azunyan is just as nice. And Taiga...

Azunyan versus Index next! An extremely hard choice to make for me personally, but in the end I decided to go and support Index. Yui is my real representative for K-ON anyway. And also, go Taiga!

First, visit Yoiko’s MAL page and read the description. Then, take a look at the OP:While this is also a good opportunity for me to test whether or not embedded Youtube videos work on this site, I now want you to imagine what kind of series this is...

Mitsuko Kase really proves that she knows how to make a good series. She’s probably one of the very few female anime directors out there, most of her series are very under-appreciated, but you can really call me a fan of her. Especially when it comes to the endings,...

This summer, there are 36, without even counting movies.And that doesn't include strong continuing shows, such as Requiem for the Phantom, Pandora Hearts, Cross Game, Before Green Gables, Mazinger Z, Guin Saga, Hanasakeru Shounen, Saki -- and new episodes...

It will be produced by Production I.G. The novel, illustrated by Takeoka Miho, has eight volumes released to date. There are also two manga adaptations...

As for the summary: I’ll try to be accurate, but there is a lot of dialogue in this series, so there might be a few mistakes here and there. The episode starts as Anne is hanging...

My final impression is included. Summary:In an ironic turn of events, Mayama Azusa turns out to be Yuzuki’s first target. This brings her to meet Akie’s father, who had desperately searched for his missing daughter until learning about the Jigoku Tsushin. In other places,...

The third season basically continues with the same formula, of having 26 episodes, nearly all of them about someone taking a revenge against someone else. The show is evolving, though:...

Summary:After seeing the skeleton remains in the run down apartment complex, Yuzuki starts to believe that Ai is simply playing another trick on her. She leaves with this in mind, but before she can escape, Ai begins to show her familiar visions of the past. This brings Yuzuki back to...

It featured a lot of very awesome finales, but also quite a few disappointing or lacking endings, unfortunately. What surprised me is that most of the shows whose endings went right are the ones who still have some sort of second season or OVA waiting, or at least whose...

First with the exception of FMA, Hayate and Polyphonica, all other series are new. Another noteworthy fact is that all series are adaptions from manga, novels or games with Eden and Basquash as the only exceptions! As for my expectations ...

Forty-eight titles come out this spring -- series and OVAs -- about the same number as last spring.But quantity doesn't necessarily imply quality. Nothing here seems like an instant classic....
