My own experience with it wasn’t good, but I can see a few people liking it and Crunchy is probably the perfect dumping ground for low-rating anime these days.UPDATE: Damien...

That’s what my impression of GA Geijutsuka Art Design has been like. It’s pretty much the best show,...

In many ways we have no influence over what happens in Japan, of course. Other than perhaps buying so much Yuri that we actually become a blip on their market...

This is, of course, impossible. That said, I’m in denial and keep an official list that is far beyond my ability to consume.Charger Girl alias Juuden-chan: This is a deeply conflicted show that uses the formula...

He proclaimed:If you were expecting this to be some kind of slice of life show similar to Sketchbook or Hidamari, you’re out of luck. It’s sort of like the hyperactive and ADD child of Pani...

Looks like ripoffs, ripoffs and more ripoffs this season, with only a few potential gems among the usual shmuck.
