Titles: Space☆Dandy Genre: Comedy, science fiction, action, comedy again! Episodes: 13 + 13 Studio: bones Space Dandy is a Dandy guy…in Space. That joke made me laugh every single time so you can imagine what type of review you are in for. Or can you??? Space Dandy is a “fearless” “intrepid” alien hunter who tracks…
Titles: Yozakura Shijuusou, Quartet of Cherry Blossoms in the Night Genre: Action, supernatural, urban fantasy, yokai Episodes: 12 Studio: Nomad There will come a time when we put aside our differences and humans will co-exist peacefully with demons. Or a least, that’s the dream. And to make that dream come true, Hime, an ancient dragon…
know it’s only August but I started looking into what my blog’s Halloween lineup should be like this year. It does take a while to watch a bunch of spooky anime and unlike last year, I don’t have anything at all lined up. Shadows House would have been a perfect Halloween review don’t you think?…
This might be the toughest post to put together yet. I’m really not sure how I’m going to go about it… Tell me, does this count as a beach episode? It seems more like the beginning of a beach arc. In the same way, I’m always a little cautious when production suddenly adds an adorable…
As I write this It’s festival time again in Montreal. For me, that means my yearly pilgrimage to Fantasia for films and friends. The festival may have traded the intoxicating (and likely intoxicated) crowds and atmosphere for a more professional event where movies don’t start n hour late… I’m not sure which I like best……
Titles: Maoujou de Oyasumi, MaouYasu Genre: Comedy, Slice of…Sleep?, Fantasy Episodes: 12 Studio: Doga Kobo A long time ago, the kingdom of men struck a deal with the realm of demons and a blissful peace spread upon the land. A peace that remained undisturbed until one particularly spiteful demon lord decided that the time of…
This week we had Shadows in shadows. And you might think that’s a bit of a shortsighted visual choice. It’s bound to make things very hard to see. But I thought it really worked. You’ll see it in my screencaps. Sure it did make it though to see the details of the scene but that’s…
I’ve decided to take my weekly The Devil is a Part-Timer! 2 posts as a bit of a challenge. Basically, I’m going to try very hard to write entire posts about each episode. Not necessarily long ones but I want to talk about a least one thing per post. I figure actual writers have to…
Titles: LOVE STAGE!! Genre: Comedy, romance Episodes: 10 Studio: J.C. Staff Izumi Sena is going to create the next masterpiece manga. He will be the biggest thing to hit the manga industry since… g pens. Why wouldn’t he? After all, success is in his blood. His mother is a renowned actress who can still turn…
I still don’t know if I should be ashamed or not of that pun. It’s very bad, don’t get me wrong. But it made me very happy. Especially as I unintentionally wrote it down. This is probably the first time that my maiden tongue being typo was actually useful for something. Depending on your definition…
Every week, I like the Shadows House OP more and more. The song is called Shall We Dance and it’s by this lovely young artist named ReoNa. She has a great voice. I have discovered a lot of Japanese artists I love to this day through anime OPs and EDs. I like that there’s some…
This post is what it says on the tin. Here we are three episodes into the second season of The Devil is a Part-Timer and I find myself almost completely neutral. I don’t hate it, I don’t love it, it’s just a show that’s there. And now I realize that it’s going to be very…
Titles: Odd Taxi Genre: Drama, crime, mystery Episodes: 13 Studio: OLM, P.I.C.S. Who killed Yuki Mitsuya? Wait, don’t jump to conclusions, I’m doing a Twin Peaks analogy. We don’t even know for sure if Yuki Mitsuya is dead. There’s this idol group you see, Mystery Kiss, and the singers always wear masks but one of…
Titles: Otome Yokai Zakuro, Girl Demon Zakuro Genre: Action, historical, supernatural, yokai, romance, magical girl Episodes: 13 Studio: J.C. Staff Kei Agemaki is the perfect guy. He’s kind and generous and ever so handsome. Despite his resplendent golden hair, he’s a humble Japanese boy who respects his ancestors and loves his country. And he likes…
I feel like this is going to need a disclaimer. Because I know people can get touchy when I use terms like “Grown Up”. I remember watching a Jenna Marbles and hearing her explain that to her, being a grown-up means buying stuff you hate. And I love that definition. You can probably find the…
