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...

Nah, I enjoy it.New Season Disclaimer:I try to watch at least the first episode of every new show in a season. However, do not expect anything I say to be fair or balanced.

The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this...

At first glance, nothing, but the answer lies in their DNA- all of them are ‘children of Enka’, beings containing the DNA of a powerful being that once tried to...

Casshern gets buried under a giant rock in the opening segment, so Friender goes off and finds some humans and robots living together, ebony and ivory in perfect harmony, led by the rather unfortunately voiced...

Whine more.Impressions:Yes. This is how you recapture the interesting bits of Yomi slicing people up. You have an episode where Kagura is sad that Yomi and Noriyuki don’t get along and concocts a terrible plan to make Yomi jealous over Noriyuki and therefore fall in...
