I wonder how many people are still watching The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window. I had put it on my maybe list because I did find the description very intriguing but I bumped it up because a lot of people had very positive things to say about the first episode. There was a clear exception…
The real title for this week’s episode of Visual Prison is Shangri-la of Cruelty. I don’t think I could ever top that. I think it’s also the title of the OP song. In any case, it’s the best most ridiculous title ever and we should take a moment to appreciate the emo word salad that…
Last week might have been my favourite episode of The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window and I said as much. I figured it could be a good sign that the second half of the series would be a bit more to my taste. The tone and writing are pretty inconsistent which gets on my nerves…
Guys, we need to talk. I know I joke around a lot about anime trying to brainwash me into being attracted to mullet. And Visual Prison is certainly guilty of that as well. 50% of the main band have mullets. But seriously, please stop getting Mullets. On and wolf cuts, are just mullets. They’re the…
The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window is slowly settling as one of those shows I watch despite of itself. Like I know all the flaws in this series. There are quite a few. And I wouldn’t say anything in it makes up for those flaws. It just hasn’t annoyed me enough to break through the…
Well, this was quite the little ride. Another horror manga too. Maybe I should post about Versailles of the dead during my countdown to Halloween. I already have all my posts written up for October but I could squeeze one more. This is going to be quite the countdown! Maybe it’s just me but I…
There’s a random naked guy in the opening tag of this week’s Visual Prison. He’s one of the Eclipse guys and there is no clue in the scene to explain why he’s naked. It’s quite surreal. No one mentions it or reacts to it at all. And after the opening credits, the show doesn’t even…
Yup, I’m still watching The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window. I’m not sure if anyone else is as well. I know a lot of my readers have tapped out and I can’t blame them. However, this is your chance to see what happened through screencaps. It’s just like watching anime without all that annoying story…
I really like Q Hayashida. Admittedly I’ve only really seen/read two of her works but I clicked with both of them. I guess this is sort of a spoiler about what my first impression of Dai Dark was. I’m sorry, I’m probably going to make a whole bunch of comparisons to Dorohedoro. I can’t help…
Visual Prison is getting more ridiculous with each passing episode. I mean that as the loving compliment it is. Although I figure it will be very detrimental to the overall rating the show receives. It works for me though. And if you have a healthy sense of humour and appreciation for kitsch, it may work…
In my last post about The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window, my readers called me out a little bit. In a good way. In fact, called out isn’t the right expression. Basically, they questioned why I was still watching this show. And that is an excellent question!
Titles: BURN THE WITCH Genre: Action, fantasy, comedy Episodes: 3 ONA Studio: Studio Colorido, Team Yamahitsuji Ninny doesn’t understand why girls want to be princesses. What’s the point? You go through all the trouble of being prim and proper, you get a beautiful gown and maybe a mouse butler or something. As if by magic…
Obviously, Visual Prison is not a show that will appeal to the masses. It’s a rather self-indulgent parody that’s a bit too soft to really be bitting. You know.., ’cause vampires… Unsurprisingly though, I like it. I haven’t been having much luck with my seasonal picks and this one is exactly what I was hoping…
I have to admit that so far, I’m not having the best luck with my seasonal picks. AMAIM is probably the top contender right now and I’m relatively neutral on it. I had things to complain about in the first episode. My hopes for The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window are slowly dwindling. But that…
Titles: Kai Byoui Ramune Genre: Comedy, Slice of Fantasy, Yokai Episodes: 12 Studio: Platinum Vision Dr. Ramune is a very unusual doctor. His specialty is treating the mysterious. More specifically, our mood, stress and energy can affect our bodies in so many ways. That’s been clear for years. But how and why exactly that happens…
