1. Aroduc on Bakemonogatari 01

    I glanced across his report, and Bakemonogatari appears exactly as expected: a hotly anticipated Shinbo's production after the stop-gap show of Arashi. It seems a bit too violent for my taste though, I'm not sure I'm going to follow.

    This blog is in a danger of turning into "Aro-note" for …

  2. Suguru on Taishou Yakyuu Musume 01

    The write-up at Dame-Dame didn't say much for me despite its considerable length and detail. The biggest question is, are J.C.Staff going to put their second-string team on Taishou Yakyuu Musume, like they did with Index (Toradora ran together with it and claimed the top talent)? This season …

  3. Punie-chan fails

    Take Dokuro-chan, replace the sex with more violence, add jokes from the kind Sunred made: that is the recipy for Punie-chan (Dai Mahou Touge). Jokes, actually, were ok to great — in particular I remember the suiciding potato man — but I started skipping the rest before the first episode ran out …

  4. Natsu no Arashi season 2

  5. Arashi ends

    Thanks to the wonders of broadcast order, today's episode (13) was actually the first episode. But in reality it was a pale imitation of the first broadcast episode (01), which it ostensibly precedes. The distance from great to mediocore is only one wrong step.

    In my judgement, despite all the …

  6. Bluemist on Hatsukoi

    We knew that with Hatsukoi Limited J.C.Staff basically produced a better Kimikiss (which itself received all sorts of accolades back in the day), but there's more:

    [J.C.Staff] have modified an otherwise normal manga into a highly coherent piece, mixing up multiple storylines to make it less …

  7. Album covers in Arashi

    It wasn't only the movies, or anime, far from it. Today Astronerdboy posted a reference chart for the album covers.

    As we can see, not all covers are known, and the chart is sure to expand soon. Next time, please refer the 2ch.net thread, thanks.

    P.S. All of …

  8. Avatar(xADV) on Gurren-Lagann

    Andy's take is positive and agreeable, albeit short and thus unable to look at the whole picture in detail Gurren Lagann deserves, but that's blogging for you.

    But the most interesting character in that respect is Rossiu. He's there to comment that, no, you can't run a society off of …
