| 1:18pm | Too Good for Its Own Good: Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven (Anime) | | | | With the Eureka Seven movie out, I figured it was high time for me to start talking more about Eureka Seven. I already reviewed Gravity boys & Lifting girl, but now I’ll be reviewing the original for this post, and then working my way towards the new movie. Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven... | | |
| 8:14am | Batch Watching Or An Episode A Week | | | | I dropped Eden of the East at the hospital episode as I had a gut feeling to do so. The Johnnies were calling out to me, sending me a message. JOHNNY! Actually, it was because I missed an episode and decided that I might as well wait till the series ends at 11 episodes. So, I waited for weeks, and now... | | |
| 12:00am | I Love Gundam, I don’t Love Gundam Wing | | | | [No spoilers here] I’m pretty much a Gundam fan. I totally buy into the whole thing: the toys, the significance in otaku culture, the inside jokes, and whole tradition. I haven’t seen all of the franchise (nor have read the manga and novels, nor have played all the video games), but I... | | |
| 12:45am | The Recency Bias and How it Affects Anime Appreciation | | | | [Pic somehow related] I just finished watching a lot of shows in the past 2 months, as well as read a lot of manga. I look at my recent archives and see how much samurai anime and manga I’ve bee consuming. Sometimes I catch myself thinking, ‘oh wow, this is just the best thing ever.’... | | |
| 11:18pm | Summer '09 Previews | | | | With several shows that I enjoy carrying on from spring; add 14 new ones, plus Haruhi new episodes, Zetsubou Sensei 3rd and Ookami 2nd season; this summer looks very promising! The highlights are of course Canaan from the Type-Moon team, Umineko from Higurashi creators and SHAFT's second TV show this... | | |
| 10:28pm | Somerset Somersault: AnimeNEXT 2009 | | | | This past weekend I attended AnimeNEXT in New Jersey. While held this year in Somerset at the Garden State Exhibit Center and conjoined Somerset Doubletree Hotel, in years prior the convention was held at the Meadowlands Arena in Secaucus. However, seeing as this was my first ever AnimeNEXT this did... | | |
| 3:00pm | The Zen of Eureka Seven |  | | | Take one gangly kid, one cooldere, and a bunch of heroic rebels who just want to live free. Put them in a dystopian future where an almost-magical element, trapar, generates lift forces and enables them to defy gravity. Mix in mecha, a threat to the world, and an uneasy peace. Serves seven: Eureka... | | |
| 1:49pm | T.H.A.T. Summer 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Are you ready for your swine flu vaccination? Welcome to the 2009 Summer Anime Preview. I hope everyone is enjoying the time off, because I have none -_- (damn Bar review). Regardless, enjoy our seasonal preview, the format is the same as last time. Much of this info is pulled from Fansub Wiki,... | | |
| 12:00am | A Meditation on Robots, not mecha, ROBOTS! | | | | [This post will have many references, and no spoilers]. I’ve taken time to pause from my obsession with mecha anime typology (super robot vs. real robot) to consider robots in anime the non-galactic-busting, turn you into a God or a Demon kind; neither did I think of the mobile suit kind. I’m... | | |
| 1:05am | Them Bones | | | | Bones is the best studio of all time. Yeah, that is some big hyperbole, but I do think Bones is a great studio. I recently purchased Eureka Seven and remembered why it was my favorite show. It starts off as a vanilla anime with surfing robots but turns serious in a heartbeat. Most shows do not actually... | | |
| 12:00am | Holland Novak Shows Bits of Characters: Remembering Love for Awesomeness | | | | [Some spoilers up to episode 33 of Eureka SeveN, and a whole bunch of spoilers from Gundam's Universal Century timeline (Mobile Suit Gundam & Mobile Suite Zeta Gundam)]. As of this writing I find myself impressed to a ridiculous degree with Eureka SeveN. I feel that it is a show that expresses... | | |
| 12:00am | Eureka SeveN Gives Me a Big Moment to Remember Love By | | | | [Spoiler Alert! Eureka SeveN episode 26, Xam'd ep 19, the Macross ones are negligible] I’ve been warned, and people can say they told me so. Well yeah, you told me so. Eureka SeveN is awesome. Every so often it will blow me away with a big moment. Episode 20 gave me a big one, but it’s... | | |
