Makurosu Furonfieru (episode 25): Space pirates save the day!

My first Macross odyssey has come to an end! I’m glad I decided to make that trip, and I’m sure the show will garner a majority of positive reviews, though I wouldn’t go so far as to consider it the year’s best. Maybe this year’s best Macross show? Ha.
Do mind the spoilers if you’ve yet [...]

Summer season finales

Just a quick note: I won’t be making a This Week In Anime post since I’ll be tackling the season finales over the course of the next few days. Macross Frontier should be up first, followed by Code Geass, Antique Bakery, and whatever else I can find subs for these days… Which excludes Real Drive [...]

Koihime Musou (episode 12): Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

And so it had to end, dear readers, this wonderful, quirky, and ultimately pointless series that we somehow all cared for, Koihime Musou. As you may have intuited from the post’s title the finale was underwhelming. It’s almost as if Koihime Musou wanted to flee to the security of the most peddled anime tropes after [...]

Introducing… just a blogroll.

To quote Bug-Eyed Earl, no man is an island, but if you duct-tape a bunch of dead guys together they make a decent raft. And so it is with bloggers!
How to get on the blog roll:

I’m not a blog hunter scouring the vast expanses of the open Internet looking for acquaintances; I’m mostly content to [...]

Forgiveness please.

For me, setting up a new computer is a happier occasion than Christmas and my birthday rolled together in one, simply because of the potential I can smell in the air, crackling lightning that delights me as I plug in the parts and reinstall all the programs to bring this new beast up to speed.
And [...]

Sekirei (episode 12) and the season as a whole.

(Note: the Koihime Musou post is incoming but will have to wait for tomorrow night. Because tonight is…)
O, woe is me! How shall I ever survive in the barren wastelands that is the fall anime season without Sekirei’s plump and nutritious, uhm, morsels to sustain me from now on?
Somehow, I think I’ll manage.

This Week In Anime (September 13th, 2008)

Think I’ll start off by ranting and raving about Code Geass for the umpteenth week in a row? Ha! Let’s shake things up a bit!
Bonus points if you can identify the anime without glancing at the tags. Clicky clicky for more.

Koihime Musou (episode 10): Southern belles.

A whole lotta talking. That’s what this week’s episode felt like. In fact, the climax of the episode revolves around Zhuge Loliang mounting a spirited defense of Guan Yu against false accusations…
… But how, pray tell, did our precious heroines get into such a predicament in the first place? Clicky below if you’re intrigued!

This Week In Anime (September 6th, 2008)

Sekirei (episode 10)
As if I’m going to miss another episode after last week.
I was indeed expecting another nipple cavalcade but apparently Sekirei is going to play the tease card. Which is fine by me because, for once in its lifetime, I actually felt the plot shrugging awake and stumbling along, thanks to Seo who spends [...]
