I was going through my MAL and Anilist the other day, trying to find material for a post, and I was genuinely surprised by some of the ratings. Who is this odd person I thought to myself. Wait, I liked this show way more than that show, why do they have the same score? Why…
I am well aware that I have terrible terrible TERRIBLE tastes in anime um…friends…Wait no I don’t mean you guys. I mean the anime characters I like are just not that great. Sure, I love a good hero but my head always turns for a great villain. Or a troll. I can’t seem to resist…
Genre : Comedy, Slice of life, school Episodes: 12 Studio: Sunrise High school boys are fascinating creatures. From the outside, their behaviour can be difficult to understand. But their complex colonies display a wealth of intricate social conventions and rituals that make up their daily lives. Join Tadakuni, Tanaka and Tabata, three perfectly ordinary high school…
I’ve already spoken about a character from Natsume’s Book of Friends for this series of character sudies. In fact Karandi and I have discussed many of Natsume’s supporting characters. The series is densely populated by absolutely wonderful people who wonder in and out of Natsume’s life, leaving behind precious little drops of wisdom and meaning….
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff This is frustrating. Here we are, episode 11 and I still can’t tell you whether this show is good or bad. My original post title was going to be, “Down to the Wire” since I assumed this was a 12 or 13 episode season but I…
If we were to seriously think about it, most anime characters are more or less insane. Even the most basic, plain harem protagonist vanilla character has some delusions going on. If nothing else, they seem perfectly fine with being surrounded by crazy people. That’s a bit odd…. However, once in a while we come across…
Friends, colleagues, fellow anime lovers – do you find yourself frequently surrounded by fine people who seem unable to grasp the true brilliance of anime? Have you ever wished there was a way to make them see the light, without having to waste too much time or effort on it? (or risking going to jail)…
Genre: Action, supernatural, drama, comedy Episodes: 12 Studio: Bones People think that being a God is all fun and games. You know, just because you happen to be an all powerful mystical being, loved and admired by countless people, doesn’t mean you don’t have your own problems. For instance, you could have loved ones…
I’ve always been a dweeb but I haven’t always been a weeb. That wasn’t even on purpose… I need a second, guys… Let’s try to pretend this never happened and start over. What I consider one of the first definitive steps on my long journey to hopeless otakudom was learning the word “shonen”. At that…
I should warn you, this week’s Harukana Recieve might be a bit more picture intensive than word intensive. I hope this will be ok with all the fans of the show. I promise I’ll make Matt writer more next week. I’m in bold this week, because I AM bold!
Genre : Josei, Horror, Mystery, Psychological Thriller Studio: J.C.Staff I’ve been on a business trip for most of the week. This means no Buddy, no anime and very little sleep. For those of you who aren’t forced to go on those and think they sound like fun, let me tell you right now, they are…
Do you guys remember what I said two weeks ago? Do you? I asked if the time leap machine could leap forward? I really did!!??!! Are you starting to get a little freaked out?
Dear friends, tell me, are you aware of the perils of the metaphor? Do you know of all the traps simple examples can put in your way? You may think to yourself that these are simply useful tools to get a point across when writing a thesis but beware! If it gets the chance –…
I don’t often do response posts on purpose. Usually a scheduling quirk just happens to make it so that something I wrote a month ago gets published on the same day as a similar post. It’s bound to happen with so many great minds in such a confined space. This time however, I am shamelessly…
Genre : good intentioned, idol, comedy, Episodes: 17 (or is it i7?) Studio: Troyca Being an idol isn’t just a job, it’s a calling. A dream. A need to make people happy and bring a smile to your fans’ faces. The full weight of people’s joy rests on your shoulders. With such grand responsibilities you cannot…
