Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment I’m back again following Joe (JD) and Yuri’s adventures as they struggle to find their way back to one another.
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 15 – Revolution
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I usually skip the OP for this show. I watched it at the beginning but it wasn’t inspiring enough for me to sit through every time. I’m pretty sure it got updated after the mid-season mark. In any case I was hugging the dog when it…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep2 – Kindred Spirit
Last week I told you guys I didn’t know if I would be posting weekly on Steins;Gate and I meant it entirely. But then CactusMatt told me that I would keep doing it in my comments and who am I to argue. I’ve never met Matt be we get along well. It’s one of those…
In Anime and In Blogging, There is Nothing New Under the Sun
You know that thing: the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? It’s basically when you’ve never even thought of something but suddenly it occurs to you then you start seeing it everywhere? I think it might be my superpower… With blog posts at least… As some of you know, I schedule everything and on average will write a post 2…
Top 5 Anime I Want To Play as Otome
Visual Novels and Otomes getting adapted to anime is a pretty common occurrence. It’s a good way to get some publicity for your game while putting out an anime with a guaranteed audience from the fans of the game. I’m gonna call it cross-media advertising. I’m pretty sure that’s not what it means…. Let’s face…
Berseria and Vesperia, Letting go of the Past Without Betraying Your Memories.
So here’s a little scenario that has been happening embarrassingly frequently lately. Irina’s inner monologue: It’s almost 10 pm, I’ll just play a little round of the Berseria card minigame, it takes like 2 minutes, then I’ll finish my presentation for tomorrow and be in bed by 11. I need to get up at 5, I…
I Love This Tag – The One Liner Challenge!
You know I try to answer tags in a reasonable time frame. I don’t always succeed but I do try. It always means a lot to me to get tagged by one of you, so when both super cool Nairne (I’m a bit intimidated, I admit) and super sweet Ryuji were kind enough to think…
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby! Episode 4 – Anime QandA Review (With Irina)
I actually liked this episode. I’m still super snarky about it but Matt put up with me like a champ!
The Not Quite Recovery of an MMO Junkie
Genre: Romance, comedy, drama, low fantasy Episodes: 10 + OVA Studio: SIGNAL.MD,Inc. If you’re going to be a NEET you should really be an Elite NEET. Not just someone who couldn’t cut it in society, someone who actively chose to take a step back. Elite NEETs are smart, capable people who decided the daily grind…
The Torment of Being Nameless in Time of Eve
I guess some of you may have noticed but I have a weakness for tragic characters that can accept their fate gracefully or fight against it until the last second. Once in a very long while, you can find those that do both. One of the most frequent searches on my blog is for the…
MEGALOBOX Ep 2 Two Guys, One Ring
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment I’m still struggling to find my footing on this one (as an aside, some great footwork animation during the fight….just a really great bout for those who actually mb enjoy boxing but prefer no one really get brain damage). I’m going to do my best to…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 14 – Not The Horse!
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I have to admit it, I did not see this one coming. I have been watching anime for many years now and this particular show for 15 episodes (there was a 11.5, remember!) and this is pretty much the last thing I expected. Brace yourself, guys:…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep1 – In Memory of Things That Never Were
This post shouldn’t exist. On so many levels it should not have been possible. I think it’s fair to say that I quite like Stein’s;Gate as a franchise. For reasons explained in my VN post, I identify with Okabe more strongly than possibly any other protagonist. When he gets into high stress situations I can…
Anime is Turning Me Into A Chubby Chaser
OK not really but it definitely is making me crave some variety…. I mentioned it in my Monster Girls review but I’ve come to realize how similar anime character body types are. It’s getting a little boring…. I remember when I first watched Miss Kobayashi, I was struck by the fact that the girls had…
Twist! Top 5 Androgynous Anime Boys
It’s Friday! You know what that means! Yeah a whole bunch of really fun stuff but ALSO a Friday Five! I kicked things off last week with a pretty silly list of androgynous girls that have captured my..let’s say heart.. That proved to be popular. Pretty girls are popular, who would’ve thunk it? So popular…
