1. Asagiri no Miko begins

    Snatched by Sixten, I had to give it a try. It's almost like going to a virtual club meeting with Steven, if only for the first 5 (10) episodes: he has access to the whole stack of DVDs and I'm at the mercy of Netflix's DVD dispatch algorithm.

    I think …

  2. Ikki Tousen fails badly

    When selecting Ikki Tousen I fell a victim of my unfortunate tropism for shapely fighting women, triggered by Chizumatic's top rotation. Unfortunately, while some frames are pretty, the series itself turned out to be a species of violent porn with pornographic voilence. I used to go around and say how …

  3. Jedko on Azumanga

    When young people fail to appreciate Azumanga Daioh, I usually tell them "wait until you're 35". Another truism I'm fond of repeating is how there are two kinds of Azumanga watchers: those who laugh when Osaka loses her soap and those who cry (sadly, I never saw Attack No.1 …

  4. Magical Play 3D

    Due to the way they were presented at Crunchyroll, I watched Magical Play 3D before the proper series, and what a surprise it was. It's dark and violent, at the level of Naruto. The difference is, Naruto may be naive, but he is not oblivious to the wrongs of his …

  5. Yumeria (Dreamworld)

    I hoped to see another Magikano and somewhat surprisingly, the art was similar. I even rushed to check the production studio... For Yumeria it's DEEN, but for Magikano it's impossible to determine. However, "similar" does not mean "same". I don't even have a single tasty screencap. And obviously, the story …

  6. Scrapping the bottom of the barrel

    It looks like I watched everything worth watching among titles available on Netflix. I'm not even kidding, the only series in the queue that I would actually like to see is Moribito.

    Piracy is the only recourse.

  7. Arashi 04, Jun's tank

    A post at Animesuki gave me the hook with which to find what the other of Jun's images of war was: "Bokura no Nanokan Sensou" (ぼくらの七日間戦争), or Seven Days War.

  8. Disliked Greats

    Michael trolls me in a simple yet effective way:

    I've quickly marathoned through sub-par shows in the past. However, good series such as Stand Alone Complex, Tweeny Witches, and Legend of Galactic Heroes can't seem to hook me in like that. All three of these anime are top notch quality …

  9. Zyl on Manabi's fat head

    Due to some circumstances, I have set on rewatching Manabi Straight at last, this time from the comfort of a couch. And coincidentially, Zyl remarked today:

    Manabi Straight: It sounds like so much fun but I’m just defeated by the whole fat loli thing.

    I'm happy to report that …
