Suisei no Gargantia 07 – Time to Get Kraken
Summary: In spite of Bellows’ protests, Red goes nuts on the whalesquid and starts beamspamming like some kind of mecha show character (oh wait…). Bellows is smart enough to avoid tentacles and ejects, but even the lack of beamspam efficacy in seawater can deter Red as he gives the whalesquid a hug and crushes it [...]
Discuss the Manga! Alien Nine
Did you all enjoy Alien Nine? (You remember my post saying to give it a try, right?) I’ll start this off with a spoiler-free review of the manga before bringing up points for discussion. Review Alien Nine came to my attention when I learned that my favorite video game, Yume Nikki, was going to get [...]

Devil Survivor 2 – 07: Wednesday of transformations – Part 1
Summary: This episode begins right where the last episode left off. Alcor uses a demon, Bifrons, to keep Ronaldo and his underlings at bay while trying to get Hibiki to decide between staying where he is now or joining Hotsuin.

Suisei no Gargantia 06 – Breasturant Time
Summary: The episode starts promisingly with plenty of fish trapped in a galaxy loop. When sea galaxies full of lightbug nano-machines merge due to currents (which apparently do exist, except when it would be inconvenient to animate them), you get a galaxy loop combined with an all you can eat seafood buffet. Red is eager to fish [...]
Red Data Girl 08-09 – Who Are You People
YYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH Himegami’s in Her Vessel; All’s Right With the World Didn’t realize I hadn’t blogged episode eight until episode nine showed up, so I might as well do both together. I’m probably okay with this though; I’ve found it difficult to pick out things to delve into for this series. It’s really all over the [...]
Suisei no Gargantia 05 – Mechaniku
Summary: Red is bummed out that he can’t get a job with his current skill set and he is now being crushed under the weight of his student loans debts from not having insurance on Chamber.

Read the Manga! Alien Nine
I’ve been meaning to start having some manga reviews on Sea Slugs, but I thought I’d add a little twist to the formula. In this post I’ll announce what manga I’m going to read, and then I’ll have the actual review in a week or two. That way other people who want to read the [...]

Valvrave the Liberator 03

Meanwhile JIOR is a neutral alliance made up [...]
Red Data Girl 07 – If Wishes Were Horses
Everything Happens So Much This episode was about as comprehensible as a Horse Ebook! Okay, I exaggerate, but this episode certainly was a bit odd (and unfortunately felt extra-slow for some reason). Perhaps my main problem with the episode was just how little Izumiko and Miyuki actually accomplished, and how I just couldn’t care as [...]

Red Data Girl 04-06 – Occult Academy?
So I Heard You Liked Convoluted Plots I decided to give in and start watching these pre-airs–I mean, why not, right? At any rate, things have gotten pretty crazy in this series. It’s difficult to figure out where in the world this story is going, and every five to ten minutes it feels like we’re [...]
