| 2:05am | My Weekend at Anime North 2013! | | | | Wellit seems my blogging absence is turning more and more into a semi-hiatus, but it’s nothing official or anything and I’m just taking it all one day at a time. On account of that, I guess a lot of really late posts will be popping up here and there, so thank you for still wanting to read... | | |
| 2:13am | Shingeki no Kyojin 11 — Talk is Cheap | | | | An episode of talking, talking and more talking by people we barely know or care about. I guess Pixis’ speech was supposed to be inspirational. Like last week’s speech by Armin, the creators did their best to make it as epic as possible. Shouting from the top of a giant wall, facial closeups,... | | |
| 12:43am | Episode Review: Photo Kano Episodes 6 to 8 | | | | As I suspected, Photo Kano leaves the realm of the “single story” anime series with this group of episodes and turns into something akin to Amagami SS, which I understand was done by the same company in game form, with each heroine getting her own arc, all of which take place in a separate... | | |
| 4:30pm | Smile PreCure! The Movie: Take a Look, It’s in a Book! | | | | When I recently reviewed the Kamen Rider Fourze movie, I noticed that one of its biggest appeals is that it let me revisit a series I really enjoyed with minimal baggage and maximum enjoyment. In that way, the Smile PreCure! movie has much of the same appeal. Smile PreCure! The Movie: Big Mismatch... | | |
| 2:53pm | Manga Olympics for Bloggers Poll: Round 1/Part 1 | | | | ROUND 1/PART 1 POLLS ARE NOW UP. In this post, you’ll find two polls for the Shounen/Seinen category and the Shoujo/Josei category. How exciting! There are amazing posts here, with participants really putting a lot of effort and I only say this after having read them all! I apologise for the delay... | | |
| 6:22am | Special: Adapt Something | | | | Sea Slugs: The Movie: The Game: The Animation It can be a lot of fun when a favorite story of yours gets adapted into anime form. Sometimes that adaptation is pulled off well; sometimes it isn’t–but it’s something many of us look forward to either way. Anime is often adapted from... | | |
| 1:49am | Suisei no Gargantia - 11 | | | | More than ever, the split personality of this series is asserting its presence with authority.The ship has already sailed on Suisei no Gargantia being a masterpiece, or even the best series of the season - both of which certainly seemed like strong possibilities after the brilliant fourth episode. ... | | |
| 9:58pm | Kara no Kyoukai revisited, part 4: “The Hollow” | | | | It’s interesting that, considering the numerous minor criticisms of the individual parts, I still cite Kara no Kyoukai as something special. There’s not the action and gore of earlier chapters, but I eventually came to think of the fourth as a high point, and a segment that heightens my... | | |
| 5:25am | Spring 2013 – Week 9 Anime Review | | | | A long, long time ago, back when you actually probably cared about these episodes: why Yeti is the best character in Namiuchigiwa no Muromi-san (and why the series should be about her instead), changing the perspectives of how we view the characters in Shingeki no Kyojin, how the evolution of Hataraku... | | |

| 7:57pm | Welcome to the NHK – A More Serious and Sombre Shut-In Story | | | | Unlike some other shows which use someone being shut-in as a comic relief or to show how weird they are (mostly with secondary characters), or as a setup for an uplifting story where the main character learns to overcome their problems and joins the productive life in society without a lot of trouble... | | |
| 3:32am | Chihayafuru 2 - 23 | | | | Let the tears flow - they've been building for a long time.“Frustration won’t last forever. Nobody can keep on going without some measure of reward.”Harada-sensei (I remain puzzled by his absence at this event) thought those words in episode 20 of the first season - possibly the most memorable... | | |
