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

Incoming Dekkai Huge Post of Long.Yes, that’s right, I’ve decided to satisfy my penchant for attaching meaningless numbers to things by putting together yet another Anime Season Ranking Post.

Staff has a very scattered record of late, they often do a good job with school-centered series that don’t involve fighting. (Toradora, Potemayo, Honey and Clover being examples of shows without fighting and Shana, Zero’s Familiar, and To Aru Majutsu no Index...

If you’ve read my blog post more than a month ago...

We had been experiencing high temperatures well below freezing and that’s not conducive to getting in the spring mindset. Yesterday we got into the 50’s and today our high was 65˚F (18˚C);...

The original OVA, from 2003 and 2005, is the only show of KyoAni that I haven’t seen and it is also KyoAni’s only original work. When I realized that...

I would not say that Sixten gloats, but let’s just say — he quotes his own prediction:[] it might be Index or it might be Toradora, but I have a feeling that a new J.C.Staff classic will emerge this fall. It’s not as much of a sure thing as when I predicted...

Given J.C.Staff’s inconsistent track record, it is a very rare, valuable, and precious source material indeed that is impossible for...

Staff? I’m aware that you love ruining absolutely everything in recent times. Why do you have to mess A Certain Magical Index up to this extent ? Why do you hate this planet and all of its denizens? Why couldn’t they have, uh, adapted the material, as opposed...

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei came in second with 19%, followed by Potemayo with 14% and, Banner of the Stars III with 10%. The other shows, in order of decreasing votes,...

In any case, a great fight yesterday; I often found myself checking the interim standings for how close the Haruka vs. Fuuko results were, and if you look at the graph of the votes you find that over the first...
