Hi everyone… Let me just say I promise this isn’t an ad. No one has ever been crazy enough to sponsor me but if you want to… In any case, a little while ago I got a hankering to play a nice little old school iOS (in my case Android) Otome of the Voltage type….
Blackout – Uma Musume Pretty Derby Ep 9 (with Cactus Matt)
Cactus Matt and I are continuing our joint watch of Uma Musume Pretty Derby and increasingly misnamed reviews. It’s a good thing he’s there cause even with his help I can barely keep on point. As usual Matt is in Bold!
Kiitaro’s Yokai Picture Diary – Cute Yokai Doing Silly Things
Genre : Comedy, Harem, Slice of Life; Supernatural Episodes: 12 Studio: Creators in Pack Kiitaro is a handsome boy who has been seeing strange things since he was a child. It seems he was born with the ability to see Yokai (spirits that live all around us but are normally not visible to humans) and this…
Yuuki – Dead Man Walking
Have you guys seen Shiki? It’s the kind of show that sticks with you. It gets under your skin and seeps into your brain. I’m not saying it’s perfect (it’s not) and it most certainly won’t be for everyone, but it’s definitely memorable. If you happen to be interested, I reviewed it last year. I…
MEGALOBOX Ep 7 – Sibling Rivalry
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Well this is unexpected. I’m not quite sure where to begin. I haven’t ever really found myself in this type of position before. To be frank, I never thought I would ever have to write anything like this. Since the beginning of this show I’ve been…
A Record of Grancrest War Ep 19 – Doucet The Terrible
Genre : Fantasy, Adventure, action, political Studio: A-1 Pictures I’ve been accusing Theo lately of being a shady…crest holder. It’s not the first time either, when he first got together will Siluca there was a questionable battlefield kiss that got me a little suspicious. He must have gotten fed up of it because we did…
Steins;Gate 0 Ep 6 – The Best of Times and The Worst of Time
I have never been a big fan of New Year’s episodes. They all tend to be the same. With very few exceptions they are usually not very funny (Gabriel DropOut was hilarious) and surprisingly not all that touching (Gugure-San ended on a truly heartwarming holiday ep). They’re generally just an excuse to draw characters in…
In Defense of the Unreliable Narrator
There are few plot devices more divisive and difficult to pull off than the unreliable narrator. Unless your work somehow manages to distinguish itself as a classic, the audience often feels cheated and is quick to turn on a story that can’t be trusted.
Top 5…um…anime playboys(?)
Last month, I had the great pleasure to read this post on MagaKast and for some reason, it made me want to talk about those lovely flirty anime boys that get our hearts racing. I know I used the term playboy here, because I don’t have the swagger to pull off the much better term…
Maji LOVE Revolutions – Sociopaths and Secret Robots!
Genre : Reverse harem, music, happiness Episodes: 13 Studio: A-1 Pictures My hero and STARISH are all back at school? Camp? The Japan’s next pop superstar mansion? And this time they are doing stuff! Adorable stuff like entertaining kids and acting in what I suspect is the greatest play ever written. Move over Shakespeare! You can’t…
Stray Dogs, Dead Apples and Mel pt.2
Yesterday I told you I went to see Dead Apples with Mel and told you all about the movie. “All” being somewhat subjective at this point. “About” as well… I wrote a post that mentioned some Bungou Stray Dogs characters… But the movie you see, was only half of the experience! Side note: does your…
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby! Episode 8 – Anime QandA Review (With Irina)
I really loved this weeks conversation with Matt and I hope you guys do as well!
Stray Dogs, Dead Apples and Mel pt1
Genre : Supernatural, action, crime, ensemble, yummy, Episodes: 1 movie Studio: Bones For most of us being gifted sounds like a good thing, a dream come true even. I mean it’s called a gift after all. But for those special few, it’s often more of a curse. Destroying childhoods, alienating them from society and dooming…
Of Tiny Gods and Boundless Grace
This may come as a bit of a surprise to some of you, but I’m actually a pretty big fan of Natsume’s Book Friends. It’s a long story, maybe I’ll tell you about it someday…. But I wasn’t exactly hooked on it from the very first episode. It was a fine first episode as far…
MEGALOBOX Ep 6 – Tomorrow Starts Today
Genre : Cyberpunk, Sports!, action, cool Studio: TMS Entertainment Watching the hype and fandom that is forming around this show is a form of entertainment all of it’s own. It’s very different form the big sports anime titles we’ve had in the past few seasons. Maybe one day I will try to put together a…
