FLOWERS OF EVIL #1 - - Special Review
When I finally got around to watching cult flick AUDITION a while back and
found myself more often bored and unintentionally amused than ever actually, y’know,
scared, a friend rather succinctly described most J-horror to me
as being something like a carny in a monster costume at a beat-up haunted
house. Show More Summary

An Anime Novice Takes on... Spring 2013 Anime
Straight up, a pilot can make or break a series. There are exceptions, of course: some shows only find their footing after a bit of wiggling and a little feedback. Still, I say the audience needs to be drawn in immediately if there's be any hope of follow up. Show More Summary
AV MOD MATERIAL: BLEACH Ch. 534 Review
Every drama needs a scene of someone running away while another calls after them to stop. Masaki has been infected by the Hollow that bit her, and it seems her life is in danger. The Good Doesn't this look like a poster for a rom-com? I know that most of the audience of shonen read it for the combat, but I've always liked when it gets into the drama. Show More Summary
MAGI #13 - - Watch & Learn
That’s a nice turnaround for a super-move, right? Alibaba was only just
learning that Sword of Amon trick last episode - - now he’s wielding the thing like a real magi, himself. Actually, kudos to the show on
its plotting, because it...Show More Summary

AV MOD MATERIAL: Quick Picks -- 4/22/13
Takashichea's Pick "Beautiful yet manipulative women" My Quick Pick is Missions of Love since my little sister checked out the first volume from the library. The way she talked about the book remind me of Oreshura, Velvet Kiss, and Nozoki Ana who have beautiful yet manipulative women. Show More Summary
GARGENTIA ON THE VERDUROUS PLANET #1 - - Special Review
Continuing the little naming scheme of the more attractive shows this
season, GARGANTIA honestly grabbed my attention by finding another cool synonym
for big in its title. Yeah, I'll fess up to that. The
stark neon on display in the promo image was certainly eye-catching, as well. Show More Summary
AV MOD MATERIAL: ONE PIECE Ch. 706 Review
If Kelly Funk doesn't sound like a wrestler name, then I don't know what does. The tournament for Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit is just getting started, and a former villain is already wise to Luffy's disguise. The Good At least he didn't ask Luffy if he even lifts. Show More Summary
First Impressions: Dragonaut the Resonance 01 and Moyashimon 01
Dragonaut This is actually so typically GONZO, at least in reference to Witchblade. It’s got the chicks with huge breasts spilling out of their costumes, at least one female scientist and what looks a lot of fighting with no semblance of logic or reality (basically some kind of power that comes from resonating with dragons?). [...]
Shion no Ou 02: It’s All About Style
Summary: Continuing off from the cliffhanger last time, Ayumi punches the creepy stalker in the face. Mr. Stalker quickly leaves the scene, leaving Shion alone to cry over the traumatic experience. Ayumi offers Shion a handkerchief but looks away when Shion looks him in the eye. The police are alerted of this and decide to send [...]
First Impressions: Suteki Tantei Labyrinth 01
This is one of those episodes where the action starts right away and they back track in order to explain what happens before it, but from all view points of the characters so the audience is omniscient. Although, this is by no means original - it shows at least they tried doing something different. [...]
First Impressions: Night Wizard - The Animation 01
sigh Intro: I’m doing this as I watch it so I won’t forget any details. As soon as I saw the girl sitting in her high chair drinking tea, the legions of people and the guy in a school outfit I wasn’t impressed. I was thinking “this HAS to be a parody…right?”, and then [...]
First Impressions: Rental Magica 01
Between studying for midterms (reason for the lack of pictures but next time, I promise) and stuffing my face with cake, I decided to watch this one first out of the few I plan to watch for this fall 2007 season. The elements of this show bring to mind: Ghost Hunt, Chrno Crusade and [...]
Shion no Ou 01: Shougi with a Murder Mystery
Okay. I admit I’m biased. I read the manga for Shion no Ou shortly after doing the preview and I fell in love with it. From then on, Shion no Ou became my most anticipated series of the fall that kept me through the onslaught of bland series. Okay I’m being melodramatic but I love [...]
Terra e - It only gets better (full series review)
I’ve seen plenty of anime series that play around at the outset and don’t get serious about the plot until partway through, just in time to build for a glorious conclusion. Since Terra e (Toward the Terra) was fairly serious with its plot and character development from the start, I figured it couldn’t get much better. I was so wonderfully wrong.
Claymore Intimate Persona~Character Song Shuu~
In this CD, there are 10 tracks and the characters featured Clare, Priscilla, Galatea, Deneve, Opheilia, Irene, Sophia, Teresa, Helen, and Miria (in that order). For people who don’t know what the hell is a “character song” it’s basically a song where the seiyuu for an anime sings a song that’s supposed to reflect the [...]
