I’ll definitely keep watching it and give it a proper review, but as a guilty pleasure that has been done many times before, I’d...

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

There is good cheese and bad cheese, while most of it falls into the bad category: overblown and overly sappy drama that you just can’t take seriously. There are cases in which the cheese is meant to be overly emphasized and becomes awesome to watch because... Tue, 02 Jun 2009 20:39:02 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/02/02/tactics-review-775100/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2009/02/02/tactics-review-775100/ Well, I guess it’s time for me to check out another one of Hiroshi Watanabe’s works. Tactics can easily be viewed along with Suteki Tantei Labyrinth and Matantei Loki Ragnarok as his “supernatural detectives”-trilogy, featuring Shinto, Post-Apocalypse and Norse Mythology respectively.... Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:40:55 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/12/30/2008-summary-part-i/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/12/30/2008-summary-part-i/ Well, it’s the time of the year again for the obligatory posts that look back at the highlights (and some of the lowlights) of the past year. This time, I decided to split this entry in two halves, otherwise the list would simply become too huge. I’ll post the second half tomorrow, after Porfy no...

This episode basically shows the lead characters as they play a baseball-match... Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:11:48 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/07/26/king-of-bandits-jing-review-775100/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/07/26/king-of-bandits-jing-review-775100/ Hiroshi Watanabe intrigues me. No matter what kind of utter crap he produces, he intrigues me like no other. The guy is a brilliant writer, he has a bizarre sense of humour, and at the same time he can come up with the most terrible and cheesy storylines ever. The guy has also been around for a decade... Sat, 26 Jul 2008 20:11:55 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/07/01/vampire-knight-review-70100/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/07/01/vampire-knight-review-70100/ Vampire Knight is probably the closest you can get to a gothic anime. It’s dark-themed, lots of black, there are vampires, et cetera, et cetera. If you like your main dish to consist of angst and bishies, then look no further, because Vampire Knight has lots of it. Unfortunately, that’s also... Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:45:31 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/06/28/telepathy-shoujo-ran-02/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/06/28/telepathy-shoujo-ran-02/ Ah, it’s good to see another good series about middle-schoolers. I’m not sure why, but in average, I tend to like these series much more than the series that focus on high-schools. Perhaps it’s the impulsive way that they try to solve their conflicts, or their innocence. Or how your... Sat, 28 Jun 2008 17:33:28 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/22/crystal-blaze-07/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/05/22/crystal-blaze-07/ Ah, the standard episode in which a character is angsting and his or her friends spend the episode trying to talk him or her out of it. I now realize how often such an episode can go wrong: it’s obviously predictable, and often it comes across rather lazy. I now realize that series as Suteki Tantei... Thu, 22 May 2008 08:49:26 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/04/22/dnangel-review-82100/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/04/22/dnangel-review-82100/ Series that promise to be better in their second half are always tricky. You never know whether they can actually live up to their claims or not; it went well for series as El Cazador, Chevalier, NHK ni Youkoso and Full Moon wo Sagashite, but on the other hand, things went disastrously wrong for series... Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:11:40 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/04/10/gambling-apocalypse-kaiji-25/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/04/10/gambling-apocalypse-kaiji-25/ Yup, like expected: the entire success of this arc will depend on whether the final episode will deliver or not. Unfortunately, I’ve also been spoiled about it, so it’ll all depend on the execution. What I’m most curious about is the chairman himself. We know Kaiji by now and his fear... Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:46:42 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/31/march-summary-3/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/31/march-summary-3/ And with this, the season is nearly over. There are still a few series left to finish, but they should close off in a few days from now. Overall, I must say that it’s been an interesting half year, and nothing like the spring-season that preceded it. It feels like there were less ground-breaking... Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:18:04 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/28/ghost-hound-21/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/28/ghost-hound-21/ This episode was a rather strange one for a Ghost Hound-episode. It’s probably one of the quietest ones of the entire series, which is very strange with just one episode to go, and it ended with plans to dress Tarou as a girl. I’m seriously wondering what the creators have in store for us... Fri, 28 Mar 2008 15:37:01 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/27/dragonaut-the-resonance-review-62100/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/27/dragonaut-the-resonance-review-62100/ There are basically two kinds of Gonzo. The first is Good Gonzo, which searches the borders of anime with new and engaging concepts, and which delivered us series as Bokura no, Master of Epic, Red Garden, Gankutsuou, NHK ni Youkoso and Last Exile. Then there is Bad Gonzo, which consists out of a bunch... Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:17:02 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/26/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-review-82100/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/26/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-review-82100/ Suteki Tantei Labyrinth is one of these series where there’s one thing you absolutely mustn’t do: take it seriously. Once in a while, a series appears that doesn’t really care about making sense. Still, even though Suteki Tantei Labyrinth may not have the most exciting plot, it does... Tue, 25 Mar 2008 22:22:29 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/25/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-25/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/25/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-25/ Whaa! I could have sworn that this series had 26 episodes! To think that this was the final episodes, this series sure features a lot of series that end sooner than I expect.And the cheese! The overwhelming cheese. This episode may not have been my idea of top-notch writing, but it sure as hell was entertaining!... Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:55:01 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/19/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-24/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/19/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-24/ And another series where its finale has begun. So far, it hasn’t been anything amazing yet, but I never expected this series to deliver an awesome climax. For now, it was entertaining and without flaws; it was built up well, so I’m happy. The fights were entertaining, and the themes on friendship... Wed, 19 Mar 2008 21:05:52 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/05/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-22/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/03/05/suteki-tantei-labyrinth-22/ Oh my god you’ve got to be kidding me! This really was an awesome episode, even though this was for the wrong kind of reasons. For those who’d still like to remain in the dark about this series: a major spoiler is coming up ahead. This is really one of these plots that can be absolutely bad... Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:57:15 GMT http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/02/29/february-summary-2/ http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/02/29/february-summary-2/ I must say that this has been the best winter-season we’ve had in years. usually, they just features one or two great series, but this season juast has a whole bunch of worthwhile watches, albeit you do have to look a bit harder than usual. #28 (28) - Dragonaut The Resonance - (6,6/10) - This is...
