| 7:06pm | Darker than Black - OVA | | | | Seriously, this has to be one of the fastest OVA releases I have ever encountered: only a month after the original series ended. In any case this OVA was nothing like I expected. I loved it to bits, but it never really resolved any of the plot-holes that it seemed to have promised to answer. Instead,... |
| 3:21pm | Seikai no Monshou - 04 | | | | I love how this series plays around with morals. In the first episode, it really seemed like the Abh were your stereotypical evil empire full of evil emotionless Nazis that like to conquer people. And yet now that we’ve gotten to see a bit of their side of the story, then we suddenly see that... |
| 11:07am | Armed Librarians - The Book of Bantorra - 18 | | | | I’m sorry for the delay of this entry. I’ve got a bit of a cold at this moment, so I’m not at my fastest. But what a hell of an episode we had this week! Even though it was just a build-up, it was in no way inferior tot he other Armed Librarian episodes. The way in which this episode... |
| 3:53pm | Durarara - 04 | | | | One of the big complaints against this series seems to be that the characters are too one-sided, but I disagree. A show like Ookami Kakushi has shallow characters who can just be described with one line. The characters of Durarara however have gotten subtly fleshed out quite a bit already. Simon might... |
| 2:57pm | Ookami Kakushi - 04 | | | | I pretty much like this show so far, but I’m worried. I just discovered that Amazon.co.jp only lists six DVDs, which total at around 47 minutes each, or twelve episodes combined. The pacing of this episode also very much hinted at that there are only going to be 12 episodes. I’m very,... |
| 10:23pm | Full Metal Panic! - The Second Raid Review - 80/100 | | | | Okay, so for those who missed it: I am not going to review Fumoffu because I don’t want to sit through a comedy I don’t enjoy. I do want to say a bit about why I didn’t like it, because the comedic moments of The Second Raid also turned me off for the same reason. For me, the creators... |
| 4:31pm | Kobato - 15 | | | | With this episode, I’m glad to have stuck with this series. It was a fairly simple episode, but so many emotions were put into it. This episode showed that the creators know how to build up and use it to create heart-warming drama. And with well fleshed out characters like in this series, even... |
| 3:59pm | Katanagatari - 01 | | | | Whoa! I didn’t expect Katanagatari to have episodes of 50 minutes. That seals the deal for me: I’m going to blog it. I very much approve of this longer pause between episodes. Series like Votoms’ Pailsen Files, Figure 17, Blade of the Immortal and Marie & Gali also had this,... |
| 9:09am | Sora no Oto - 04 | | | | Great to see that it’s indeed the creators’ intentions to flesh out and develop the characters in the first half of this series. Sora no Oto just has one less annoying character. Noel got a lot of depth in this episode, without making it too predictable of an episode. In this episode she... |
| 7:53am | Hanamaru Yochien - 03 | | | | So overall this show turned out enjoyable enough, though not anything special. There’s one thing I don’t like, though: Yamamoto. Seriously, I’m surprised that she hasn’t sprouted wings and flown to heavens yet. I know that there’s purity and all, but that woman really... |
| 10:00pm | Macross Plus Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Yeah, this is it. Macross Plus has without a doubt turned into my favourite installment of the Macross Franchise. Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, it turned into an amazing character-study of its three lead characters. It’s much less chaotic and whimsical than your average Macross series, and... |
| 8:37pm | Macross Zero Review - 77,5/100 | | | | The Macross Franchise has always been one of eye candy, and Macross Zero does not disappoint in the slightest. As the first Macross of the new Millennium, the graphics are utterly gorgeous. The CG is a bit unrefined at times, but the way it’s animated and contrasts with the background; the huge... |
| 3:33pm | Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood - 41 | | | | Whoa, that was intense. It’s one thing to show gore and decapitate random goons in the most gruesome manners, but when it’s done 1) to a well loved character 2) very detailed and 3) doesn’t make the gore too extreme and actually tries to make it believable it makes so much more impact.... |
| 2:36pm | Cross Game - 42 | | | | I think this was the calm before the storm. After this episode, it’s just going to be gasshuku and tournament. I’ve said this many times before, but I think that it’s after this that this series is going to get less interesting again, simply because the baseball in this series has... |
| 11:28am | Cobra the Animation - 04 | | | | Oh gawd. This show is so ridiculously masculine that I can’t help but enjoy it. Remember last episode, at the end of which Cobra was about to die from poison? My prediction was that Cobra would find some cheap way to escape his certain death. Well, as it turns out he sort-of didn’t. The... |
