| 5:32am | Which Autumn Series do you want me to blog? | | | | Now that it’s September again, I’d like to return to a yearly tradition for this blog in the form of a little contest I hold every year. It basically consists out of a poll of the series that are going to be airing in the upcoming fall season, and me blogging whatever series that received... | | |
| 8:31pm | Guin Saga - 21 | | | | Haha! This series is getting closer and closer to the big climax. Or at least the big climax that’s going to close off the first of hopefully many Guin Saga seasons. To be honest, out of all the shows I’m watching right now that are about to end, this is the series that I’m rooting... | | |
| 12:42pm | Guin Saga - 18 | | | | And here we have the big climax for the Naris Amnelis Marriage. Again, there’s no Guin, Remus, Linda or Istvan whatsoever and instead we’ve got an entire episode of political intrigue. I must say that after watching this arc in Guin Saga, Tytania is looking less and less impressive right... | | |
| 11:13am | Guin Saga - 16 | | | | the more this series progresses, the more of a shame it becomes that there are only going to be 26 episodes. Sure, there can always be plans for a second season, but the chance for a second season to just be cancelled is just as big. That at the moment is sortof my problem with the trend that anime... | | |
| 12:17am | Yahagi Sayuri -- Indispensable | | | | When Yahagi Sayuri 矢作紗友里 debuted at 19 as Karin, she knocked me out with her liquid, well-inflected voice.Now she has been a professional seiyuu for four years. She still has the strong, supple, quite high voice she started with, but the burbling liquidness has been toned down. She has developed... | | |
| 10:34pm | Hakushaku to Yousei - Episode Five |  | | | This episode starts off with Lydia’s father recapping what has occurred, with Lydia becoming the Earl’s family fairy doctor. After this small little recap, the viewer gets a little flashback of Lydia’s past experience with men, and it revolves around a boy giving her a love letter because it was... | | |
| 3:12pm | Tytania — Space Opera Lite | | | | Tytania is a show that gives high expectations and fails to live up to them. It has so much potential for greatness but ends up squandering them faster than a glue-sniffing MIT grad. If Yoshiki Tanaka, the author of the original novels, were dead, he’d be spinning in his grave right now. But he... | | |
| 8:38am | K-ON 05: Wilder and WILDER |  | | | Ritsu wants to hug terrified Mio too. Well it seems that the time has come for K-on to be a real club instead of an informal tea time clique. Sadly while Nodoka is willing to sign a few PRESIDENTIAL ORDERS to help out they lacked an advisor…until Yui unmasked Sawako as the former Death Metal Queen... | | |
| 6:21pm | Winter Season Goes Bye-Bye | | | | The best thing that came out of the past season. I apologize for the recent lack of activity here, especially considering last week’s surge of posts. I simply ran out of juice due to long evening shifts at work followed by a 4-day LAN-party. Also for the future record in case any more people from... | | |
| 9:53pm | Senjou no Valkyria - The Chronicles of Awesome | | | | Valkyria Chronicles looks and feels pretty damn nice. That’s pretty much all I feel like saying and thus ending the post here, but at least for the time being I try to avoid turning this blog into a one man’s /a/. But let’s see here: Cute girls - check. Soldiers - check. Cute soldier... | | |
| 2:35pm | March Summary | | | | An interesting month this time. It featured a lot of very awesome finales, but also quite a few disappointing or lacking endings, unfortunately. What surprised me is that most of the shows whose endings went right are the ones who still have some sort of second season or OVA waiting, or at least whose... | | |
| 11:38am | This Season Has been One Big Letdown. | | | | Anime that tries and fails is still infinitely more interesting than anime that just sticks to the same old formulas, be it moe-mongering, robo-shouting or power levels. I just completed a marathon of Flag, which is by far the most visually creative and detailed anime I’ve ever seen. As I know... | | |
| 3:30pm | Tytania Review - 82,5/100 | | | | Tytania had some massive expectations working against it when it first aired. It’s supposed to be the spiritual successor to the Legend of Galactic Heroes, one of the rumoured best anime ever made (yeah, yeah, I’m going to watch that one some day). These are expectations it obviously couldn’t... | | |
