Whilst Lina’s destructive ways finally draw the attention of the authorities, she also...

But it seems fanboy hope springs eternal as I was disappointed with the first episode, especially the lack lustre OP song.While I’m in agreement with Aroduc and Star Crossed...

They left clues hidden around their website for us to decipher, and promised a new show announcement every day for 10 days up until New Year’s Eve (starting on 12/22).Turned...

That doesn’t mean that the series that came out this year are bad. It’s just I find that there...

But actually the show was very nice if one can get over the characters and story that welcome fecal comparisons, so I cannot say that. Especially Lina is sure controversial.Fig 1.

It’s yet not clear whether other stations will carry the series.It looks as if Slayers enjoys...

Last week he couldn’t even be within a meter of Tear and this week he’s visiting her at the infirmary? Wtf? In addition, he has no problem walking or running near her but the moment Anise jumps on him by...

With Hidamari being the sole exception, I would not recommend anything anything else, unless you begin to run out of choices.Recommended: Hidamari Sketch x 365Good: Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, MISSION-E, Wagaya no Oinari-samaWatchable:...

Instead, the past season stood out with its large amount of series that at first sight don’t seem to stand a chance, and yet turn out to be surprisingly solid and enjoyable. My top 10...

Before the summer season started, I hadn’t seen anything of the franchise so far, so this series seemed like a good opportunity to check out what the hype was all about. As it turns out, Slayers Revolution definitely wasn’t the... Thu, 25 Sep 2008 07:28:29 GMT
