I lied. I totally frickin' lied. · 13 April 2009
Yes, yes I did. I am addicted to this shit and I know it. There’s no getting away from it. If I were a crack addict, there’d be no hope for me. None, zero. Just when you think you’ve pulled away, estranged yourself from your anime addicted self, they remake Fullmetal Alchemist. They REMAKE it. […]
The Beginning – Strike Witches, Natsume Yunjinchou, Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo first impressions… · 13 July 2008
Strike Witches: Little girls without pants are terrifying… Alright, I didn’t want to watch Strike Witches. The trailer made me cringe and poke my eyes out with toothpicks. I can’t handle the little girls without pants! I can’t! I can’t! Give me blood, death, gore, anything but the cute, prepubescent lolis without pants! I mean, […]
Springs impressions! You're all probably sick of them by now… · 27 April 2008
Alright, so, I think I’ve watched almost everything I wanted to watch this season. I have to say that I’m watching more shows this season than any other season since I’ve started blogging, which is not saying much, but just means I bit off way too much than I can chew. So, in a very […]
Baseball, Greek goddesses and Valentine's, among other things… · 17 February 2008
I’ve been sitting around trying to figure out a good way to talk about Ookiku Furikabutte for a while, but I can’t. Nothing I say seems to be right and the more I write the more dissatisfied I become with my words. So, going to back to my second grade English class, keepin’ it simple: […]
The arrogance of yours truly: Why I'm late to the ef – a tale of memories party · 24 November 2007
I watched ef. Shocker, ain’t it? It was one the series I wrote off immediately. I can’t stress how quickly I dismissed ef upon initial examination, really, it was a faster than light decision, I broke the laws of physics on that one. And, here I am. I watched the first seven episodes about half […]
Moyashimon – Reasons to love cute, dancing microbes! Squee! · 6 November 2007
After what seemed like the longest time (and quite possibly the worst, the flat out worst, test-taking experience of my life) I finally crawled back to my cave of a room, clicked on those orange stripped traffic cone and went through the entirety of my backlog. I’ve been most depressingly busy, trying to balance NaNoWriMo, […]
Gundam 00 – The Beginning · 7 October 2007
Simply put, I’m impressed, very impressed. The animation is solid, the mecha designs look even better than the in the promos and I’m loving the cast. Every word Tieria speaks reminds me of Itoshiki, even the character design, with those glasses and that strange, purple sweater they put him in during the ending reminds me […]
Dragonaut – The Beginning · 7 October 2007
The first episode I watched of the fall season was, fortunately, rather good. I’m sure screen shots and summaries are not in short supply, so I’ll save myself the trouble. In short, Dragonaut – The Resonance is looking like the spawn of Code Geass and RahXephon armed with the tragic, orphaned hero, sunny, blue skies, […]
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho: Tou 2nd Act – Episode 1 · 5 September 2007
This title has got to be the longest name for anything I’ve seen in the while, save for maybe Harry Potter. Even the acronym would be pretty long, TMGK:T2A. I watched the first season on a whim late one night earlier in the summer, the character designs, namely Hii-chan, caught my attention. It was also […]
Baccano! – Episode 1 · 6 August 2007
Baccano! is probably the only series I truly looked forward to this summer, though I did step into a couple of unexpected series, Sayonaray Zetsubou Sensei and possibly Zombie Loan. It just so happens it was the show airing last. If feels like I’ve waited ages to watch Baccano! Baccano! apparently means ‘stupid noise’. There […]
