| 2:53am | Impressions: Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, They are My Noble Masters |  | | | You know any show that starts out with an eight minute parody of Kamen Rider has to be awesome, which Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is. If this episode is any indication than the second season will be even better than the first. The animation quality was excellent throughout and the episode was just... | | |
| 2:34am | Fly on Sky Girls, fly on… | | | | How beautiful you are in the skyWith the defeat of the W.O.R.MS, there is peace on Earth once again. Countries from around the globe are now repairing the damage caused by the W.O.R.MS on their last attack. The Sky Girls go back to their normal lives with the knowledge that they have saved | | |
| 1:10pm | Sky Girls 26 - Various Future |  | | | Last episode! I’m sad it’s over. =( Here’s hoping for more OVA episodes. I mean, the writers can always fill in other missions that were left out of the main plot. :3 And there will still be the Fishing Eika DVD specials when the discs are released, so we’re not totally out of... | | |
| 12:20pm | Sky Girls: Episode 26 (END) | | | | Rating: 7.2/10 Overall Series Rating: 7.5/10 Impressions: Sky Girls concludes with episode 26, and IMO, it’s a show that completely wastes its initial potential to become a great action/mecha series. Instead, it becomes more of a slice-of-life/feel-good show, but that’s not entirely bad... | | |
| 7:27am | Closing a Chapter - Sky Girls |  | | | Goodbye Sky Girls! One OVA and 26 episodes later,it is time to finally say good bye to Sky Girls. I enjoyed the show overall as it had an interesting story (the world is a huuuuge organism and we are the cancerous cells ^^) with alot of depth and plenty of thought provoking scenes.Okay... | | |
| 5:57am | Sky Girls 26 Final, a fond farewell and a new beginning. | | | | This episode begins with Eika doing some dogfighting training against the Viper unit back at the old base, even though Eika is piloting a older jet she easily beats Hizaki’s Viper pilots, and then she turns down a offer to join the Viper unit. Then we get to see Karen back at her old school... | | |
| 7:26pm | Sky Girls - 26 [Final] |  | | | Otoha and the other Sky Girls receive notice to meet at the base for a reunion half a year after they have defeated the WORMS. Impressions:Although overall this series wasn’t the best in my opinion I did absolutely love this last episode. I’ve said this on nearly every final episode post I’ve... | | |
| 2:20pm | Sky Girls Review - 82/100 | | | | The original Sky Girls OVA was just a tasteless fanservice-fest. Needless to say that I wasn’t that keen on checking out the full-length-series for the concept. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the creators had no intention to make this end up as the failure that was the OVA. Sky Girls... | | |
| 12:43am | Slice of mecha | | | | Wack machines be stepping to our crew Conspiracy side plot: underwhelming. Last battle: underwhelming. Sky Girls just seems too bright for shadows and danger. As far as final bosses go, the series had a - what else? - underwhelming one in the form of an island with large cave flies, organic torpedoes,... | | |
| 9:10pm | What Figure? |  | | | UPDATE: Sorry folks about the comment form bug - just fixed. I was on a plane back from Shanghai and was cursing myself because I was thinking "darn, I bet I left that '?' on the end of the post title." Land at Haneda airport to find that I did indeed leave the '?' on the end. ToT orz ugh. Anyway,... | | |
| 4:00am | zomg Raptor rush | | | | I always thought that Raptors on the Rush was a bit like a nerfed Command and Conquer 2 Orca assault: expensive, a bad idea, and subsequently embarrassing. But it turns out J. C. Staff didn’t try too hard when writing and drawing this flashback. Well, who knows how bad the war was at that stage.... | | |
| 11:42am | Sky Girls: Episode 25 | | | | Rating: 7.5/10 Impressions: Technically, this is the concluding episode. The final episode will be an aftermath that takes place six months after the destruction of the worm nest. I’m afraid I have to say that this series has been quite a big letdown. It fails to overcome its episodic nature,... | | |
| 8:50pm | End of Autumn Season '07 | | | | Some pretty good series ended a few days ago. HiguKai was amazing, as well as Genshiken. Minami-ke, Night Wizard and Ninomiya were very funny and enjoyable. ef and Kodomo offered a good load of drama and the latter a lot of controversy. Finally, Sky Girls and Blue Drop can remind you the downhill that... | | |
| 6:53pm | The best anime of 2007 | | | | Now that 2007 is over and 2008 is just beginning I think that I’ll add my two cents into the mix. Overall, I felt that 2007 was a pretty good year for anime, the trend of Moe centered anime continues, and the popularity of Maho Shojo anime in Japan seems to be slightly increasing. While I try... | | |
| 11:48am | Sky Girls: Episode 24 | | | | Rating: 8/10 Impressions: So much for conspiracies. Heck, we didn’t even get any suspense of build up in the last few episodes, and again, everything happens far too easily and smoothly. No twists, no ‘real’ drama, and no emphasis on the Sonic Diver piloting aspect until now (which... | | |
