The fueled by the completion of my R2 collection rewatch is over, and I am starting to suspect that I'm overdosing with only a 6th pass. This time aroud, all sorts of imperfections get into my eyes and I began to place it among the weaker J.C.Staff's productions …
read moreWhence do entrail animals come in Kampfer?
Or does Sakura simply give birth to them offscreen while she is in Alien Queen mode?
I suspect she's making them like any girl would, from old pillowcases, stuffing, and such. Then she or Moderators animate them. They become self-aware, but complain that they aren't "living things" ("ikimono …
read moreLawson on 2009 Autumn
Making good on his revival promise, Jeff posts a vintage Hop Step Jump review of the season. Two notes:
1. Just as Windy Tales lays foundation for my perceptions of Kimi ni Todoke, so does Bokura ga Ita for him.
2. Where is Kampfer?! read more
Midnite Tease on K-ON
By way of some random link-following (via), I ran across a review of K-ON, which mostly contained retelling. Such a style of review is usually incredibly dull, but I was grinning as every paragraph prompted me to recall the fun.
Yui, who has no musical talent, but was praised by …
read moreGuns of Kampfer
One of gentlemen who joined me to watch Kampfer, Hikago, asked: why didn't Akane use a revolver, since it's so popular in anime? He marked Trigun, Grenadier and Nanoha specifically, and could've added Sakura Taizen.
I swear I'm switching to Hatsuyuki from ep.06 onward.The question actually goes down …
read moreHung on Kimi ni Todoke
KnT managed to raise BakuGasuBakuhatsu from the dead, as Hung shared his impressions. Long story short, he didn't like it much. Check out this speculation, however:
Hopefully something will come up that will make the series more interesting. Like Sawako falling into a coma (probably not) or a super bitch …

Visuals at Moe.ro look interesting (for a 2001 vintage movie). Wakamoto voices the dude. The histogram at ANN is not promising, tops low.
read moreRyan on Kampfer
Apropos the previous post, Ryan remarks:
I would have joined this little session, except I lost interest in Kampfer when Sakura became very pushy and potentially dangerous.
Actually Sakura always was dangerous, since she presented everyone with their plushies. It should be clear from the ep.1 that she's the …

Looks like I'm one of those "influencer" people now. What a responsibility!
It’s eerie to see how Mio easily changes her mindset. First, she had no interest in joining the light music club, since she wanted to join the literature club (was it?). Next week, she is so into …
