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 any...

Sure, there aren’t many series, but a significant majority of the new series succeed at what they intend to do. There may not be a lot of shows with awesome and ambitious story-lines, but in terms of slice of life and characterization,...

I can’t say I’m a big fan though, as much as I can enjoy these shows when I...

Even five minutes after that doll went down I was still snickering like an idiot. It’s been a while since I laughed so much at one single joke. I still keep seeing Frau running around like crazy with that very weird laugh of his. I’m... Tue, 16 Jun 2009 09:48:14 GMT http://wakaranai.animeblogger.net/?p=1662 http://wakaranai.animeblogger.net/?p=1662 Although it has, in its last leg, been somewhat marred by slow fansubbing, One Outs has proven to be a consistent source of entertainment throughout its 24 episode run, and it saddens me to say a poignant farewell to it. While I’m still in that fallout state you feel after finishing a satisfying series,... Sun, 14 Jun 2009 02:25:28 GMT http://bateszi.animeuknews.net/2009/06/11/slice-of-life/ http://bateszi.animeuknews.net/2009/06/11/slice-of-life/ I know it has been a long time since I published anything, but I hope you haven’t given up on me just yet. There is warmth in these embers still, I can feel it. I just need stoke them up is all, with a bit of hard work and guts.The stupid thing is, it’s not as though I’ve stopped watching... Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:21:39 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/05/13/major-review-725100/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/05/13/major-review-725100/ I’ve been looking forward to watch the Major series for a while now, and with this I finally managed to check out the first season. The baseball series form a truly underrated genre in anime, with most people getting turned off because they don’t know anything about the games. Well, let me... Wed, 13 May 2009 11:45:45 GMT http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2009/04/24/cokematic-on-hockey-anime/ http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2009/04/24/cokematic-on-hockey-anime/ I laughed. One note though, the sport’s lack of popularity is no impediment. Sure, popularity won’t hurt. Witness the endless progression of baseball anime: Big Windup, One Outs and so on. But it’s not like Mahjong is the national sport of Japan.

Both of these shows are by GONZO. So if people hate GONZO, they should hate Saki right? Apparently not. I fail to understand what these people who like Saki (and who presumably are the people who adore...

Major.This scene reminds me of a certain someoneOne Outs has been a really enjoyable 25 weeks. I’m haven’t watched too many sports anime, and with the exception of Eyeshield 21, of all that I’ve watched has been Baseball,With...

It comes from the creators of Akagi and Kaiji, meaning that we get lots of mind games surrounding a god-like character,... Wed, 01 Apr 2009 09:17:49 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/03/31/march-summary-4/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/03/31/march-summary-4/ An interesting month this time. 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... Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:35:55 GMT http://www.riuva.com/?p=1395 http://www.riuva.com/?p=1395 Anime that tries and fails is still infinitely more interesting than anime that just sticks to the same old formulas, be it moe-mongering, robo-shouting or power levels. I just completed a marathon of Flag, which is by far the most visually creative and detailed anime I’ve ever seen. As I know... Sun, 29 Mar 2009 11:38:11 GMT http://ogiuemaniax.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/hey-ladies-check-me-out-im-the-pitcher/ http://ogiuemaniax.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/hey-ladies-check-me-out-im-the-pitcher/ So ladies who read Ogiue Maniax, I have a question for you: Has the One Outs opening worked on any of you or any girls you know?So we have this show whose full title is One Outs - Nobody wins, but I! It is, to sum it up, “Akagi + Baseball.” And it’s a rad show full of tests of will... Wed, 04 Mar 2009 23:06:18 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/02/28/february-summary-3/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/02/28/february-summary-3/ A bit of a boring list this time perhaps, since it looks mostly the same as last month’s with perhaps a few small differences. Nevertheless, this was a very good month. The winter season has proven to be an excellent one, and quite a few series spent this month getting even better than they already... Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:06:56 GMT http://www.riuva.com/?p=1369 http://www.riuva.com/?p=1369 In response to a recent blog post I chanced across on animenano, I’ve felt compelled to respond with a post of my own. Saturnine says all the good blogs link to each other in posts, so I shall do some linking because that makes me a good blogger right? The post I shall address is by some small...

Even though they only actually started playing baseball at the end, the episode threw lots of new elements into the mix to up the ante yet again. The previous game felt a bit...

I know that I’ve ranted pretty often about the lack of new concepts this series, but when you look at the big picture, then this is promising to become an excellent season. There are many quality sequels airing right now, and especially...

I especially like to see the results of what anime fans think. Especially since it’s selective to just recent anime. Well, you can head over to anime-source.com and look at the newspage to see how to vote. Or you...

The taste for harem shows that I developed early in my anime-viewing career, starting with Key’s crying shows and fluff-drama pieces like Shuffle and Da Capo,... Sat, 24 Jan 2009 21:26:35 GMT
