I sure burn through them quickly. On the heels of the Shuffle disaster come Kirameki Project and Mokke. I really don't want to say anything bad about Mokke, it's just unsophisticated, primitive a bit. Kirameki though... It's one of those shows where creators think that anime watchers are dumb, I …
read moreAllison and Will
I was intrigued by the promise of airplanes in Allison and Lillia, and so kept the series on the list. But before plunging head first into a 13-ep batch download, decided for a quick peek at one of the numerous flash sites.
There were some issues, to be sure. The …

The series appears to be embarrasingly stupid. I could not even find a decent screenshot to show.
Steven went a little deeper into it, and wrote more about it.
I heard that Kaede was a canonical yandere, which would be curious to watch perhaps. But I cannot make myself to …

It does not have …

I swore to ignore the topic when I saw Hinano's announcement, but who can ignore this endorsement:
In all seriousness, in a small and tidy package Hinano and her crew has put together a very solid and thoughtful story that both paints a new look to the various things she …

Zyl opens Blassreiter thus:

Art of Gurren-Lagann
UPDATE: Steven pointed out that this entry contains major spoilers. One would think it's inconceivable for anyone not to know that Darth Vader is Luke's father, but nonetheless it's true. I mean, it's true that spoilers follow.
Back at the first pass, I observed that Gurren-Lagann used economical art style …
