Mmmmm… the smell of the impending fall season has me so excited I almost forgot to watch the summer shows! Not that they’re all worthless, but if I can be brutally honest for a minute, aside from Someday’s Dreamers and Antique Bakery, the summer season has brought us little more than moe heroines tripping over [...]

Preview: anime fall season 2008
Posted in Anime, First impressions on August 26, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Before you start grilling me about my sources, don’t get too excited, Otou-san from SOS pointed me in the direction of this excellent post over at THAT Anime blog that previews new TV series to air this fall. After combing through the list twice I’ve got a better grasp of what awaits us in fall; [...]

Whew! I’m feeling a lot better today. Well enough, as a matter of fact, to make up for yesterday and spend some time discussing this week’s happenings, the blistering heat be damned. I’m also cooking up a preview post for the fall season, which is only a couple of weeks away. It’s a great time [...]

You’ll have to forgive me, but I’m under the weather and I had to work on a Saturday. If I’d known a cold was creeping up on me I never would have agreed to sacrifice half my weekend for a slightly less meager paycheck… Ah well. I wonder, what can this week’s anime do to [...]
Koihime Musou (episode 07): Here, lemme make it easy for you.

Studio Dogakobo and its writing staff can’t seem to grasp what made Koihime Musou such a wickedly campy and fun show in the first place. After setting out on a promising note (01-03), the show dipped into yuri fanservice hell (04) followed by a forgettable mess (05), but regained some of its initial vigor (06) [...]

We’ve officially reached the halfway mark (mid-August) of the anime summer season. Long-running shows like Code Geass are entering the home stretch while newer offerings have by now revealed their true colors. I’ll post a comprehensive “midterm evaluation” for all the shows I watched either tomorrow or Monday; for the moment, however, let’s revel in [...]

Step 1: Start watching anime.
Done and done, officially six months in the making, though by now I realize I’ve been watching anime informally ever since I was a wee lad. I do wonder if I’ll ever become another jaded, sneering anime fanboy always declaring, “Been there, done that.”
Feel free to pull a Kamina and punch [...]
Review: Kaiba

Faster than a speeding bullet, here I come, bearing a Kaiba review hot on the heels of its last episode! I won’t mince words: this was my favorite TV series so far this year, an emotional rollercoaster set in a dystopian animated future. Want to know more? You know what to do!
