Normally I’m not a fan of clip episodes. It’s one thing if you’re doing one in the middle of a long season as a recap or reminder and it doesn’t count as an official episode but when shows dedicate their finale to reusing scenes. Well, it’s just not very beautiful, now is it? Or that’s…
Titles: Lovely★Complex, Love Com Genre: Romance, school, comedy slice of life Episodes: 24 Studio: Toei Animation Risa is a very tall high school girl. And tall girls always want you to think that it’s a bad thing. That tall’s not cute or something. Cause guys don,t want to date tall girls. Well, let me tell…
Titles: Star-Crossing Skies, Hoshiai no Sora Genre: Sports!, school, drama Episodes: 12 Studio: 8-bit The soft tennis team is in real danger. If they don’t win a match soon, the club might get shut down. I guess it’s not that big a deal. After all the members don’t seem to care all that much. But…
This was one of these episodes that inspired a myriad of post titles. “A smart looking guy”, “An un-individualistic face”… in the end I had to go with Probatio Diabolica because it was just too cool. Ok, I thought it was cool which might not be the best reference. Probation Diabolica is what Dojima said…
Titles: Runway de Waratte, Smile Down the Runway Genre: Drama, slice of life, school, fashion Episodes: 12 Studio: Ezo’la Chiyuki is going to be a fashion model. And not just any fashion model. She’s going to be a top fashion model and she’s going to walk the runway during Paris Fashion week. After all, this…
Cards on the table, this was kind of a weird episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club. Saying that an episode of Pretty Boy Detective Club is weird seems like a waste of time. But it was. Potentially because in many ways, this might be the most down-to-earth episode so far. I liked it! I say…
Titles: Love Bullet: Yuri Kuma Arashi Genre: Surreal, psychological, yuri, school, drama, romance Episodes: 12 Studio: SILVER LINK. Kureha Tsubaki will never give up on love. No matter what. And she will never forgive the Bears. Humans have been in conflict with the Bears for generations. Wild, vicious creatures that will not hesitate to gobble…
Once again I’m doing a full series review instead of just a first impression. I read the sample chapter of That Blue Sky Feeling on Viz’s site and I liked it enough to get two volumes. Then I found out the entire series is 3 volumes so I thought: Why Not! That’s not true, I…
Well I’m stumped. I thought I liked this episode of Pretty Boy Detective club less than previous ones. I’m pretty sure I did. Yet I finished it a few minutes ago and now feel great. Like happy and in a good mood. And I know the two are related. I just don’t know how to…
Titles: Nazo no Kanojo X, Mysterious Girlfriend X, MGX Genre: Slice of Life, School, Weird, Ecchi?, Romance (I almost forgot romance!) Episodes: 13 Studio: Hoods Entertainment Akira Tsubaki is a healthy teenage boy. And just like most healthy teenage boys, he is interested in girls. Very interested! But girls can be kind of mysterious and…
So lately I’ve been ordering a lot of manga. I’m in the mood to discover my next big manga love story. I’ve also not been reading as many webcomics. At least not family-friendly ones. As such, I figured I would switch my webtoon recommendations for manga first impressions until I build up a nice stock…
I really like zashiki-warashi. For one, I have an interest in yokai in general but I’m also a coward so a cute little Yokai that will play a few pranks then bring me good luck is going to rank really high in my book. I have also noticed that I tend to really like all…
Titles: Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch 2nd Season, Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch Second Season Genre: Psychological thriller, action, drama, mecha Episodes: 25 Studio: Sunrise Lelouch may have lost the battle, but he has not yet lost the war. Even though he seems to have lost everything: the black knights, his connections, the element of…
In retrospect, this was probably my favourite arc of Pretty Boy Detective Club. At least so far. I’m having the inverse reaction that most people are having, as the show gets increasingly more abstract and really more like a piece of performative art rather than an actual story, I’m liking it more and more. I…
Titles: Battle Doll Angelic Layer; Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer Genre: Drama, action, sports(?), school Episodes: 26 Studio: BONES Misaki Suzuhara is discovering a lot of new things. She’s in Tokyo for the first time for one. Ever since her mother left for work 6 years ago, she’s had to rely on others and now, her…
