Looks like the Spring Anime season is all about crazy characters, crazy plot, and having characters called Haru. So this week, I have Eureka Seven AO, Jormungand, Ozma, Accel World, Fate/Zero, and Tsuritama. Out of these Fate/Zero, Ozma and Accel World have the most normal characters. Eureka Seven A(stral) O(cean), Episode 1 I don’t really [...]

Written by: Zyl at Sea Slugs! Anime Blog Summary: Risei and Tokiomi gnash their teeth in despair as their brilliant plan falls apart; Caster’s Invader Comes From The Bottom of the Sea and is attracting too many viewers from along the river bank and the Japan Air Self-Defence Force while Archer refuses to use his most powerful treasure tool, Ea, because he knows [...]
The second half of Fate/Zero is closing in, ladies and gentlemen. As the man who covered it in 2011 and then purchased the hilariously expensive BD box set, I think it's pretty clear that I'm excited for the conclusion. Looks like Ufotable...Show More Summary
Fate fans can resume their extended period of rejoicing, for more Fate is incoming. You already got Fate/Zero (which is a boon even for non-Fate fans in my opinion), then the fantastically infuriating Fate/Prototype anime teaser (it's...Show More Summary

Or will she drive you...loony? Either way, right after the hyper-dramatic sizzle reel (check it below) promoting the first Blu-ray box set for Fate/Zero is a decidedly undramatic set of Q&A segments run by Ms. Iris and Student #0. The...Show More Summary
Guys, I have something I have to confess. Not having a new Fate/Zero episode to look forward to every week has been killing me. The first season ended on such a painful cliffhanger that I pretty much had to forget the series existedShow More Summary
Ok, this is really interesting. I'm a big fan of Gen Urobochi's work (Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero, etc) and the way he tends to subvert genre standards. The man's also not one to shy away from a darker kind of ending, something that I really respect. Show More Summary

Cue the porny music! The time has come for the Fate license to get its own, unlicensed live-action porn adaptation, courtesy of the perverted purveyors at TMA, the people behind such genius products as porn parodies of, well, pretty much any anime you can name. Show More Summary
It looks like I’m left with only two shows to follow: Chihayafuru and Last Exile. Fate/Zero is on a break and the second half won’t be broadcast until this summer, which I totally forgot. In this case, I decided to try new shows that start in the winter season. I will have to look at [...]
Last week, there was no weekly anime review, so these are one week late. We get the final for UN-GO and the mid-series episodes for Chihayafuru, Fate/Zero and Last Exile: Fam The Silverwing. Technically, this review is one week late, but since Japan doesn’t broadcast new anime the week of New Years, it all balances out. Chihayafuru, [...]

For some reason, the last four shows I still watch seem to follow the same trend of being a bit “what the hell is going on” in some episodes. This week, Last Exile and Chihayafuru kind of avoid it, but Fate/Zero and UN-GO embrace it. Chihayafuru, Episode 10 Tournament time has come. Chihaya’s team all … Continue reading ?
