1. Nova on Hyakko

    I saw it in the ep.02:

    Ep.02 is about Hyakko antagonizing Tatsuki and not receiving any comeuppance (while they hop school clubs). I guess creators extracted wrong lessons from Tomo/Yomi and Konata/Kagami.

    Then, I dropped the show. Nova carried it further, but the result is exactly …

  2. Sunred fails

    I'm ready to love the formula, but Sunred does not deliver. The Ruffians in Jubei-chan were more entertaining to watch.

    Obviously I was wrong to expect something as great as Oh Edo Rocket.

    By the way, why half-length episodes? It's the same size as Dokuro-chan.

  3. Ani-toire

    This is what the restroom of our master bathroom looks like:

    01 People of Aqua are not big …

  6. DearS failure

    It's a familiar story: I watched [3 episodes of] DearS because someone said that it was "like Sekirei", but as usual the two are nothing alike (even less alike than EVA and RahXephon). The ugly animation in DearS reminded me of Pretear very much, and the story (or at least …

  7. Jonathan Tappan debunks SDS

    While the animeblogging world is busy ignoring the two drama queens, a far more interesting discussion happens elsewhere:

    "I wouldn’t say that writing is more important than art in animation..." says Ogiue Maniax.

    Personally I WOULD say that. In fact, I’ll say it right now. Writing IS more …
