Anime wa Bakuhatsu da!

On the Nature of Enjoyment (feat. Ange Ushiromiya)
  One thing that I’ve noticed as I read a lot of Western fiction and watch a lot of Japanese animation is that occasionally I have to pause and think about the nature of how I enjoy something. This frequently leads to bewilderment and confusion in both myself and others as I try to figure out whether...

Beyond Entertainment and the Spiral Towards Nonsense
  It is stereotypical fan behavior to fawn over one title at one moment, and then to another title on the next. I do that at times. In fact, it happens so often that over the years I thought there was a seasonal correlation to how and when it happened to me. But there are some shows that get enthroned...

Charting Simoun’s Adult-Child Divide
  So a bunch of us were just talking about the children in Simoun, and as they age and fight wars, they have to make some tough choices. This post will echoing some of my own thoughts on the matter. Here is a heads up: there will be some spoilers–not that this post would make a lot of sense without...

Simoun: A Connecting Braid
  I remember this being roughly my facial expression around episode 19 the first time through the series. Rotoraemon and Mamiina were, upon my first (and rather visceral, my analytical powers being nascent at best) viewing of Simoun something of an odd anomaly; I remember that I hadn’t been too...

The Best Anime Season Since Spring 2006
 Spring 2006 was the best anime season I can remember, with three anime masterpieces starting their runs: NANA, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, and my all-time favorite, Simoun.Now we have another season to rival it. At least through a half-dozen episodes, there are three summer 2009 shows that I could end...

The Animanachronism

Those Uppity Mycenæans
  The Mycenæans' successors thought that only cyclopes could have built with such large stones. The Mazinkaiser movie (which might more accurately be called a one-hour special) reworks an earlier title, Mazinger Z vs. The Great General of Darkness. I’ve seen Mazinger Z vs.: it was made back...

Yuri to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito

A Yuri Storyline classification System – Part 4
  1. Chase/Getting together storylinesD. Storylines where two girls meet and fall in love Ah, the romantic category. The least dramatic, but perhaps the most realistic and most touching. In my humble opinion, the best way this is approached is when the mangaka completely ignores the fact that they are...

Simoun: Purity and War
  I figured it would be best to get the Obligatory Image of Neviril and Aer Kissing in a Simoun Post out of the way as soon as possible. Considering its name, it should be hardly be surprising that yuri series tend to deal heavily with purity; yuri means “lily” and, let’s face it, when...

2009 Summer
Ani-Nouto (アニ・ノート)
  This is an unbelievably full season where I feel like watching a whole bunch of shows. This is, of course, impossible. That said, I’m in denial and keep an official list that is far beyond my ability to consume. Charger Girl alias Juuden-chan: This is a deeply conflicted show that uses the formula...

Canaan - 02
  Okay, so this season I’m going to be blogging Canaan. It’s supposed to be a short series, and I’m not going to be expecting the most amazing things from it, but instead what I want from this series is the things it did well in its first episode: fun and well directed action scenes....

Tokyo Travelog 2009 Part 4 - Tanabata of Legendary Proportions
  Okay, I was going to write up a Kanno Yoko concert report but that will probably take a whole lot of time, so read up on Mai’s comment spam if you’re into those precious, fresh-baked joe-hoes. Just some random last minute things: I picked up Asako Nishida’s art book. It came out 7/2...

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