Karandi and I don’t often agree on anime, so when we do, you know it’s special! Heck we even disagree on this week’s episode of Given. Not the big picture but the details vary. Want to see what I’m talking about, you can check out our review on 100 Word Anime. Given has solid but…

Most shows falter at some point. When you think back on the series as a whole, you remember it as one big story that you love or hate or are indifferent to. But when you review it episode by episode you can see the ups and downs. Find those weak spots.Did Karandi and I finally…
Given Episode 7 – Diminuendo – Gallery
This season’s Given has allowed me to create some of my favourite gifs. It’s actually a lot more than a nifty gif source. In fact, Karandi and I are really getting into it.Who are we kidding? We’ve been into it for a while! And we talk about episode 7 over on 100 Word Anime. Maybe…

Given Episode 6 – Tritone – Gallery
For me, Given is well and truly on a roll. I have been living in fear of it getting painful or overly dramatic and it manages to be undeniably painful but in a pleasant way. That doesn’t make much sense, does it. I might explain it a little better in my episode review with Karandi….
Given Episode 5 – Drum & Bass – Gallery
That gif took my a while to get just right but I absolutely love it. I’m getting better at making gifs I think. It’s not what I would call a marketable skill or any type of skill, and yet it makes me happy! I don’t know about getting better at reviewing but thankfully Karandi is…

Given Episode 3 – Playing Hard to Get – Gallery

You know I can’t resist a screen cap gallery, especially one full of pretty characters. I’m only human guys! I must admit, I had very few expectations for the first episode of Given (or the show in general for that matter) but I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I talked it all over with with…

The Wonders of Classic Anime OPs
Just this morning I was listening to Hey Kids by Oral Cigarettes. It’s a great song. It also made me think about music in anime OPs. Hey Kids has a poppy bouncy rhythm, fairly fast pace and a great heavy bass line that energizes and makes the listeners want to dance and move. A good…
