The Sacrificial Lambs of the New World
….Shin Sekai Yori… I’m not sure I was prepared. I don’t know if my review for the series will be published by the time this post goes up. In any case, let me just say, Shin Sekai Yori is one dense show. It’s heavy with meaning, dripping with allegory, ruthless in its judgment and harsh…

Now that’s an expression I…
Angels of Death ep 11 – Stay of Execution
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…
