In general I'm not big on live action (it weirds me out), but the picture that Ryan included does not look as scary as some of the others.
I wonder how long the show is.
Coincidentially, I checked it yesterday, and it is not available on Netflix. In case anyone …
read moreOwen bestowed upon us a post entitled "The Raw Delusion: Stick to Subtitles, You Poseurs". For an inexplicable reason he posits that the badass raw watchers (BRW) claim, verbatim: "1. You can learn Japanese from watching anime". I don't know where he got a basis for the assumption he ascribes …

I'm going to follow through. It's not actively objectionable, but rather bland like Sketchbook ep.4, only a full season. Matthew sagematt@#animeblogger mentioned that the first …
Another series on my "never to watch" list this season is Mōryō no Hako (via Tokidoki (Swedish)). It's followed a little wider than the hapless Macademy, although mostly at team blogs which can afford ultrawideband coverage, such as Scrumptious and THAT. In case anyone wonders what is so bad about …

He shoots, he scores (prompted by AzureEclipse's review @MAL, no permalink).
