| 10:41pm | Kurenai end: to hell with realism, this ruled | | | | Hands up who hated the ending? Thought as much. If the series as a whole wasn’t of such high quality I’m not sure whether I would have looked up the way it played out as kindly either, but on reflection it was fitting, clever and was probably the nearest the writers could get to a happy... | | |
| 3:16pm | Kurenai Complete | | | | A few months back, after sampling the first episode of kurenai, I immediately KIV-ed it till the series finishes knowing the plot will be moving pretty slow, even for a 12 episode series and I was right. The series slowly built up the characters without going into the main plot and eases into the main... | | |
| 11:57pm | Kurenai - Top 3 Moments | | | | Call Kurenai the little show that did. While it may not have been the most popular show this season, it definitely was one of the best. And along with Toshokan Sensou it’s probably the sleeper hit of the season. Now that the series has wrapped up we thought we’d take a look back and pick... | | |
| 8:46pm | Crystal Blaze Review - 90/100 | | | | Some great anime have a very detailed art-style with absolutely gorgeous animation. Others have a smashing soundtrack, performed by a famous composer. Others hired a cast of well-known voice-actors to perform on their characters. Again others put a lot of attention to their dialogue to make this... | | |
| 8:09pm | Crystal Blaze - 12 | | | | Oh god, the creators actually did it! They actually pulled off a great ending as well. This episode was really good, and amongst the best of the entire series. One thing I’ve noticed with endings that they often feel rather lukewarm. I think that my opinion of this seems to change with every... | | |
| 6:40pm | Druaga no To ~Aegis of Uruk~ Final Impressions | | | | Oh GONZO, why am I not surprised. (Warning: Spoilers etc) Summary: Needless to say I was pretty much expecting an ending like this. Le’see what happened in these final few episodes? So, Kally died, and then Ahmey dies trying to kill Druaga. The remaining climbers (minus, Pazuz and Neeba the... | | |
| 2:23pm | [Round Robin #3] Hedonistic Hegemony | | | | Ah, rape - what a topic, and what coincidence? - as we saw the theme subtly tucked in the blankets of Kure-nai. Hinano was recently she-roaring about how rape sucks. Well, yeah, ok, we’ve established that much, and also how rape goes unreported for fear of loss of face, and so forth and so on.... | | |
| 10:44am | Kurenai 12, the end of a journey. |  | | | Kure-nai has hitherto been an easygoing anime, full of lighthearted fun. These last episodes, we have seen things thicken, problems of great proportions arising. In this 12th episode, we see the final resolution. (Note that I will not use pictures for this final review so bear with me, I’ll give... | | |
| 4:00am | Kurenai Review |  | | | At Ender’s urging, I picked up this series near the end of its run. It actually ended up being perfect, because I was able to basically marathon the entire series over a week’s time. I was really glad I watched it, and the show made a definite impression on me. Story Kurenai features Kurenai... | | |
| 1:15am | Someday’s Dreamers Season 1 - Series Review | | | | The ending to Kure-nai gave me a lot to think about and thus I didn’t feel like writing anything till I figured out if I liked the ending or not. I think I’m ready so to warm up, I’m going to do a couple of other series review first. Both were older series I watched for the first time recently.... | | |

| 7:00am | Kure-nai Episode 12 END - The Things We Fight For. |  | | | IT’S OVER! And what a finale it was. The conclusion was a bit unexpected for me, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense for them to have such an ending. I’m wondering how other people feel about the series now that it’s over. I for one have enjoyed it since the very... | | |
