| 4:00am | Spring 2012 Anime Preview |  | | | Written by: Kabitzin at Sea Slugs! Anime Blog Spring Anime Preview 2012Oh BTW, we’re holding a little contest (ends April 1) where 2 randomly selected winners can grab a free 6-month premium membership to Crunchyroll. To enter, just hop on Twitter and tweet: Can’t wait to watch [name of... | | |
| 9:12am | Another Ep. 1-3: Quoth the bird | | | | “What a bore.” It’s such a pity, then, that I chose to watch this anime first after such a long hiatus1. But why doesn’t Another work? Where does it falter? Maybe, as Vuc suggests, the anime’s atmosphere is just plain lacking. But Inushinde argues instead that the show... | | |
| 7:27pm | Blood-C: one long descent into chaos | | | | Series like Blood-C catch my eye. At some point during its airing, I got the impression it was bad: the weekly reviews at Sea Slugs and Moe Sucks say as much and more, but since finishing, I’ve also read takes at chaostangent and S01E01 that say the opposite. Having now seen it for myself over... | | |
| 10:52am | Kami-Sama no Memo-Chou - 10 | | | | Oh heck. It may not be the Alice arc, but once again this was really good. Ayaka’s brother’s introduction gave a completely different light on her character and I have no doubt that the creators can make something nice out of it. Especially that ending: at first I thought it was some sort... | | |
| 8:33pm | No.6 - 09 | | | | Oh, that’s very cruel. That cliff-hanger I mean. They were about to dive into the core of the correctional facility, and Nezumi said to Shion that he’s very likely going to change after what he sees there. So yeah, we only have two episodes left for that. Don’t promise awesome character... | | |
| 3:26pm | Summer 2011 Kaleidoscope - Week 31 | | | | Sacred Seven - 05 You know what? I liked this episode a lot. It’s not that the characters suddenly gained a ton of depth, but rather what impressed me was the vast array of stuff that the creators throw at the main characters. That giant living pyramid: I love it, and it also was really well... | | |

| 11:30am | Deadman Wonderland - 12 | | | | Well, this episode did stretch the suspense of disbelief again, but I liked it. There is of course a problem with Owl mowing down a small army in an instant, only to take a minute to punch Ganta, but heck: if it’s established that the Deadmen have superhuman healing powers I guess it could have... | | |
| 1:25pm | [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control - 11 | | | | And with this, Kenji Nakamura shows that he can direct a climax. heck, I’ll go out on a limb here and claim that this was his best episode since Bake Neko. This episode. I have seen too many unbalanced series up till now, so I really didn’t think that this show would be able to do it.... | | |
| 5:23am | Summer 2011 Anime -- Full Previews of All the New Series | | | | We have 26 new series this summer, up from 21 last summer and 22 the summer before. Trends? Four shows involving vampires, and lots of moe.I'm not sure we'll get shows as good as Shiki (summer 2010) or Bakemonogatari, Aoi Hana, and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (summer 2009). But there are some good possibilities:●... | | |
| 9:34am | X-Men - 09 | | | | Now this is what I call great action. The X-Men set out to create an exciting series, and really: they delivered on that. Wolverine’s strength was that it had solid action that despite the bad animation kept changing and was dynamic. The X-Men may have less action, but it’s all better... | | |
| 6:36am | Season Preview – Summer 2011 | | | | After the hit series known as Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica in the previous Winter season, I’m curious as to if there will be any anime that could beat it this year. While I do see some potentially strong contenders in Fall 2011, we have to get through the Summer season first :P Anyways, believe... | | |
| 6:31pm | Summer Season Preview | | | | To give an impression of this season: it’s got 25 TV-series in total that are airing. In the history of anime, there was only one summer season that premiered as many TV-series as here, and that was 2007. On top of that though, I’ve marked a whopping six series with a potential of 85% or... | | |
| 4:44pm | Spring 2011 Anime Season Preview | | | | Ok, spring preview. This is typically my soapbox to bitch about how it’s incredibly late, how putting it together is a pain in the ass, and how the new season is going to suck. But hey, baseball has begun so might as well kick back and enjoy. Plus, the new season doesn’t look that bad.... | | |
