Thanks to you, Moekana was an overnight success which sold out during the pre-order period leading to a second production run.

Traffic on the expressways were unbelievable, the weather, which should have been of a pleasant, Spring like nature, was instead belching out a dampening mix of torrential rain on some days, scorching desert sun on others, topping off with a climatic tornado. I was down with a bad cold and then fever for the last 3…

By TheBigN So this first year of medicine residency has been tough in many ways, especially in terms of time available to do other things, such as being faithful to this blog (but for the most part, I’ve been able to watch some anime throughout, so it’s a matter of priorities more than anything else ). But when things have gotten tough in matters such as finding a place to continue my training, or when I’ve felt the need to vent because the work stresses me the hell out, I’ve had the ability to rely on colleagues regardless of experience who’ve been there before.

Not the bimbo I mistook her for — reconsidering Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere

by dm00 It's not just the busts of (only half, please notice) the female cast that are exaggerated. There are a handful of series that I think make the mistake of hiding their light under a bushel of breasts. Horizon on (in?) the middle of nowhere may be one of them. If you’re like me, and find character designs with exaggerated breasts repellant, all I can tell you is that (1) only half the female cast are doomed to a life of back problems (though maybe they have microgravity control along with all the other magical tech?); and (2) you’ll probably stop noticing halfway through…

The fourth song was the old song "friend". The episode starts off with a little bit of backstage preparation. I really liked the full Yarakai Heart dance, having now seen the other choreography from the PV. Too bad they have to hold their mikes to sing, so the moves from the PV are halved to just one hand. Queen Bee was very sexy K-Pop style dance. Normally Yurippe was in the Queen Bee group too,…

Sasuke made a late appearance with Kakashi at the Chuunin exam. He had missed Naruto's fight with Orochimaru and other opponents. Naruto must have gotten much stronger, or adopted a new jutsu to win these fights. Sasuke is not doing too great himself. He looses against Gaara and Itachi. Bummer!

Chuunin exam is under way and Naruto is getting surprissingly strong. Sasuke advised Naruto that if he never wants to owe anything to Sasuke, he better catch up to him. Naruto promised to surpass Sasuke in strength and skill. It's Chuunin exam time and Sasuke is surprised just how powerful Naruto got in such a short time.

Home video collectors are a particular breed who feel a personal connection to particular movies and cinema, urging us to want to own particular favorite films. We want the films we like to be nearby, like a domestic pet, to gratify and validate us. Ordinary people purchase the movies or TV shows they enjoy in order to re-watch them periodically, thus a watchable copy is perfectly sufficient. But collectors are more deeply engaged with their favorite films. Since we feel personally invested in those films and associate those films with our own self-identity, we want the versions of those…

While his origin allows to ‘cut’ off his feelings, but ‘tying’ them back together to the man himself is where he can’t seem to resolve it properly. Every time he chooses these drastic measures, apparently for the sake of the most effective, efficient way of doing it, it just feels to me he’s totally given up on the world and doing it out of spite.

That Author guy pointed out that I didn’t blog the end of this series. I guess I am getting really bad at that. I did, however, manage to watch the whole thing, along with Amagami SS++. Ano Natsu was interesting in that it felt like an anime that should’ve (and had) been made years ago. It’s basically a re-make of Onegai Sensei, with the same character types (but different characters). The thing that made Ano Natsu enjoyable was that it was executed damn near perfectly. The pacing, animation, humor, etc were all great. I think the one thing it lacked was a bit of…
Sakamichi no Apollon – 3: Someday My Prince Will Come

Hung

1 May 2012 | 8:54 am

Sakamichi no Apollon continues with a double date featuring new hotness Yurika. Unfortunately, the couples do not match up neatly, and we are faced with a love square. Ritsuko likes Sentarou, but Sentarou likes Yurika, and Kaoru likes Ritsuko. It’s not clear if Yurika likes anyone at this point. The boys get in an argument because Sentarou is hurting Ritsuko by being flirty with the new girl. This sorta backfires on Kaoru since Ritsuko thinks he’s jealous. But in a surprising move, Kaoru confesses his like for Ritsuko, so it’s up to her to accept or reject him. In other…

I heard this anime was about jazz, so I couldn’t really pass it up. As a music (and especially jazz) nerd, I was very interested in seeing what this show is about. Turns out it’s a period piece (probably late 50s, early 60s?). This makes sense, as most kids in Japan today are probably not going to be into jazz. The story follows a high school kid (Nishimi) who migrates from school to school and never really develops any lasting friendships. He develops a crush on the class president (Ritsuko) and finds a friend in the class trouble-maker (Sentarou). There’s a weird love…

She puts Ichika in the role of crash-landed alien who needs a place to stay… Meanwhile, the love polygon is in full swing as Tetsuro encourages Kanna to go for Kaito while he simultaneously wishes he was with her. And the useless girl (Mio) is still sort of just useless for the most part. All in all, an enjoyable episode. One thing I’ve been wondering is what time period this anime is set in. I sort of assumed it was some time in the 70s or…

Junichi (Juiichi?) finally manned the fuck up and told Rihoko how he felt (though it was after he overheard her confession, so I guess that kind of nullifies any manliness). My main issue with the way he did it (and my main gripe about the series in general) is that he told her that he’s always loved her, and just realized it now. And he’s gonna be with her forever, blah blah blah. Assuming the…

Review: Domu – A Child's Dream – Otomo's Psychic Showdown

14 May 2012 | 8:30 am

Domu: A Child's Dream is a single volume manga whose original run in Young Magazine finished only months before the beginning of its author (Katsuhiro Otomo)'s more famous contribution to the same magazine: Akira. It's a very interesting read that uses many of the themes and visual stylings that would be dramatically expanded upon in Akira. On its own, Domu is a highly enjoyable speculative romp focusing on dark atmosphere and action sequences of cinematic execution. In what is assumed to be contemporary Tokyo, the Tsutsumi Housing Complex has experienced a series of unexplained deaths…

Despite being one of the admins for the aniblog tourney I’ve been pretty hands off. Most of the credit for the work goes to Scamp, Mefloraine and Renn. But as someone who also helped kick off the first aniblog tourney, I’ll give you a little insight into the thinking behind the tourney.The goals of the aniblog tourney:It’s intended to be fun. I think most people are pretty level-headed about this. Winning the tourney doesn’t get you anything. And “best” is subjective anyway. There’s “winners” and “losers” because you need some level of competition…

True in most cases.To be honest, out of all the shows that are airing this season, I had the highest hopes for Hyouka, because it was one of the few that I didn’t know what the plot would be about. In addition, the trailer poster for Hyouka was simple gorgeous and on top of that, it would be produced by KyoAni. Thus, it seemed to be worthwhile to place all my hopes on this show.However, that’s all out of the window as of today. Yes, I salute those who have the…

Between Fate/Zero’s continuation, Tsuritama, Acchi Kocci, Sankarea and probably Hyouka (once I get around to it) I’ve been pretty pleased by the quality of the summer season. Traditionally not a very strong season. spring season (Thanks Kim. I apparently have no idea what month we’re in >_<). With that said, it’s looking increasingly like I’m probably not going to pick up a show on a weekly basis, and will probably swoop in and write about different shows randomly. Figured it’d be good for a change of pace. Not a fishing fan? No problem.What am I doing watching…

That is, if you were to describe “nostalgia” as the year 2007 and the show, Lucky Star.It’s hard for me to explain exactly why Acchi Kocchi gives me Lucky Star vibes. It’s certainly not the first 4-koma mimicking the laid-back, Seinfeldian observations of life humor that Lucky Star seemed to do so well. And it’s not just because nekomimi Tsumiki looks like a bizarro version of Konata, nor because Hime is basically Tsukasa’s spiritual twin sister (with Tsukasa’s seiyuu Kaori Fukuhara reprising her role to boot). I mean if you just look at the casting of the show – the fact that…

Oh man, Fate/Zero is back and the first episode just reinforced everything I love about the show – it’s big, it’s beautiful and off the charts charismatic.

I’m looking forward to seeing his Noble Phantasm of COOL.

An organizer’s thoughts on the aniblog tourney

RP

4 May 2012 | 4:15 pm

Despite being one of the admins for the aniblog tourney I’ve been pretty hands off. Most of the credit for the work goes to Scamp, Mefloraine and Renn. But as someone who also helped kick off the first aniblog tourney, I’ll give you a little insight into the thinking behind the tourney.The goals of the aniblog tourney:It’s intended to be fun. I think most people are pretty level-headed about this. Winning the tourney doesn’t get you anything. And “best” is subjective anyway. There’s “winners” and “losers” because you need some level of competition…

Sakamichi no Apollon: Kids on the Slope Episode 4

9 May 2012 | 1:58 am

Would a death metal song have the same edge to it if it were performed by octogenarians? Would a country-western tune have the same appeal if an Arabic man sang it? That’s the thing about music. People will happily eat gourmet French food cooked by a British master chef. A beautiful portrait of Italy by an Argentinean painter is no inherently inferior to one done by a Florentine. Music, though, is as much a product of who is playing it as what’s being played. The who behind music irreversibly colors the what. A samba sung by a rap artist instantly loses its authenticity, as does a Bach…
The Music For Spring 2012′s Anime Season – Thoughts Thus Far

zzeroparticle

7 May 2012 | 4:02 am

Intro by zzeroparticle: Normally, I write these things prior to the start of a new anime season. What could be more fun than mindlessly speculating over what such and such composer would deliver upon given the content of an anime? Well, the timing was bad and I never actually got around to completing it, so you’ll have to content yourself with my thoughts of the music from actually watching the anime in question. This might be for the best since the opinions given are informed (slanted though they be, given my musical tastes). Anyway, as far as TV shows are actually concerned,…
Monday Melodic Musings: Contrasting Gunslinger Girl’s Main Themes

zzeroparticle

1 May 2012 | 4:25 am

In most instances, when you have a second season to an anime, chances are they’ll use the same voice actors, the same animation studio, and, of course, the same composer. That’s not quite what happened with Gunslinger Girl. Whereas the first season was animated by Madhouse Studios and scored by maestro Toshihiko Sahashi, Artland animated Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino-. Its soundtrack was composed by Kou Otani. Now, before we go any further, let me preface this discussion by saying that Gunslinger Girl and I have quite the history. Back in the halcyon days of my anime fandom, I…

As long as the quality of anime music continues to stay its course, we’ll be here for a long time to come. After all, the quality of anime may go through cycles, but we’ve yet to encounter any similar sorts of trends in anime music, which has remained remarkably consistent.

Review: C – The Money of Soul and Possibility – Control

ranpha

6 May 2012 | 7:43 am

The main male protagonist, holding the fort for Milton Friedman on behalf of International Monetary Fund. IMF in this anime sure is different than the one in real-life. Tiger and Bunny has just managed to win the ‘Anime of the Year 2011’ title in the last post, and today it has to defend the title against yet another 2011 anime series that I have decided to watch, titled C – The Money of Soul and Possibility – Control. This anime features a never-seen-before concept as the core of its plot, and this results in this anime failure to unseat Tiger and Bunny’s reign…
Review: Tiger and Bunny (タイガー＆バニー)

1 May 2012 | 6:30 am

This anime’s main protagonists, Wild Tiger and Barnaby Brooks Jr. Bunny! Surprisingly, you don’t have to wait for a month for this review, unlike the last one for Sacred Seven. The main reason why this happens is because the anime I’m going to write about in this post is just so awesome, I can’t help myself from watching the second half of the series in less than 24 hours. It has been quite some time since I do such a thing. Years maybe? If you somehow managed to skip the headline above, the anime I’m talking about is titled Tiger and…
Review: Sacred Seven (セイクリッドセブン)

The main male protagonist with his awesome ride. The second review of this year is for the first challenger of last year’s Anime of the Year title holder, the unconventional beach episode Highschool of the Dead OVA, for Sacred Seven. This anime has its own beach episode on its own too (a given considering that this anime is a shounen title) but this anime is more (in)famous because of its main male protagonist’s similarity with a certain video game’s main protagonist. After watching this series, I do see why comparisons are made, but not in the way you think it is. Story:-…

The main male protagonist who have access to many pervy superpowers, and is one of the best characters in the series. After about 6-month break from watching a single episode of Japanese animation titles, I grabbed a random title from my 2TB+ queue storage, in the form of the two seasons of Sora no Otoshimono series, for my first blog post in 2012. For clarification, I only watched the TV series, mainly because I missed the existence of the OVA between the two seasons and I don’t feel like watching the movie for now, for some reasons that I will explain below. The first season is a 2009…
Review: Seitokai Yakuindomo (生徒会役員共) TV + OVA

ranpha

9 Sep 2011 | 2:01 am

The one-winged fallen angel a.k.a. the main male protagonist and one of the best characters in this anime. The second review for this month is yet another of last year’s series titled Seitokai Yakuindomo. Unlike the previous anime reviewed here that also comes out last year, this anime sure has much saner (and blander) given title. Both of them has the same distinction of not being able to dethrone the current ‘Anime of the Year 2010’ holder Katanagatari though. This anime is surprisingly decent for reasons that can be counterintuitive for a title in the genre. Read on to…

Hunter X Hunter – Episode 31

Rednights

13 May 2012 | 10:47 pm

Wait minute this episode of Hunter X Hunter actually has new material, uh-oh looks like I have to pay attention for once instead of going through the motions every week. I hope this is the start of a trend of seeing manga material never covered in the 1999 run. This Kastro versus Hisoka fight was nothing but a quick blurb in the original and since I do like me some Hisoka action I was more than happy to watch for once.Before that though I did appreciate the feeling of Gon’s devotion and humbleness came through in this episode. This version’s Gon has had very little opportunities…

Well this championship match was really disappointing. While it was great to see some unique combinations for once from the Wolfbats, I wasn’t too happy it was considered cheating. This was exactly what I was looking for from my earlier criticism of repetitive pro-bending matches. I was more irked not that they were cheating, but rather seeing it shunned for the sake of safety. Really? I hear throwing fire at one another is completely safe. It’s a letdown because some of the combinations the Fire Ferrets had the misfortune of receiving was creating some excitement for the…
Eureka Seven AO – Episode 5

This episode could have gone sour quickly if not for the Goldilocks team calling for extra help. With poor Ao receiving the cold shoulder from his new teammates I expected him and Astral Ocean to follow in the overused storyline of Ao just ditching the girls and getting mindlessly lost in the city questioning what he’s doing with his life right there and then. This of course would be proceeded with hell breaking loose and everyone searching for Ao to come save the day in the Nirvash. Come on, it happens a million times. Luckily for us that didn’t happen with Ao instead sticking it…

8 May 2012 | 8:59 pm

It took six episodes and a lot of Kouga whining, but Alphas finally made his debut. However, Kouga’s “I am Justice” line was a bit over the top though and ruined the moment. At the end of the day Kouga is still just a kid living the childhood dream looking really cheesy while doing it. I was impressed he didn’t just keel over to those shrimp spawns with that gun of his packing quite the heat. It’s still unknown the full extent of his abilities and mobility of his Alphas suit, but let’s hope Kouga can take a punch or two or even stand toe to toe against a…

Gon’s eagerness to test his new abilities land him in some deep trouble, with his arm taking a hurting for his excitement to jump into battle without much Nen training. Defense or offense, can’t do both? Not a chance.Thrill of the FightI was rather impressed with Gon’s first match. Of course I’ve seen this before, but the animation quality was really drawing me in this time…

Convention Report: Anime Boston 2012

30 Apr 2012 | 11:11 am

The numbers are in and I’m shocked. Even with PAX East 2012 across down, a much more mainstream convention, Anime Boston’s attendance grew yet again. A fitting bullet point for the convention’s tenth year. I was glad they acknowledged how big a deal the tenth anniversary was and yet they didn’t go overboard in reminding the attendees of the milestone. They had a few retrospectives panels run by staff and a small “museum” in the Sheraton hotel dedicated to the convention’s history. They had shirts from all ten conventions; even if they were just staff…

It's a solid season this spring but, unfortunately, one only has time to try out a few shows.

I hope you enjoy my previews of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, Mysterious Girlfriend X, Japanese Folktale, Polar Bear Cafe, Kids on the Slope, and Space Brothers. Hopefully I help you decide if you want to check something good out… or help you desperately avoid something. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia The show is built around ghost stories told at a high school.
His and Her Circumstances: Building on top of Evangelion

Scott Spaziani

14 Mar 2012 | 5:45 pm

His and Her Circumstances, or Kare Kano for short, is famous among Otaku for being the final piece of animation directed by Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno, who left the project before it had finished due to disputes with advertisers and the author of the original Manga, Masami Tsuda. Which is strange because she, supposedly, claims she was unhappy with Gainax’s focus on the humor and not the romance. After watching the show I doubt that was the only thing she was uncomfortable with in the adaptation. Kare Kano is an odd show, not odd in the sense that it’s a weird or hyper active…

With so many Anime drama’s being built around horrible cliches and stock character designs it’s refreshing to see a show that thrives for realism above recycling tired old anime tropes. P.A. Works celebrates their tenth anniversary by crafting a show that is closer to a live action drama then traditional anime drama. Does their attempt to bring a realistic drama to modern anime work or does the show falter?
