1. AD2225 on (early) Mahoraba

    Seen at AD2225:

    At the beginning of every episode we meet a new personality, the main character, Shiratori, does a children’s book sort of telling of meeting another princess, that all live in this castle. I think the castle is like Kozue’s body. (The landlady.)

    The word "every …

  2. Figure 17 starts

    When I rented this show from Blockbuster years ago, it looked very pretty, but animation has advanced a lot since then. Now it seems so hand-painted, it hurts. Nonetheless, the art has a certain charm to it.

    A few more issues are present. The background story takes a toll on …

  3. TJ on Naruto

    One of the guilty pleasures of a Naruto fan is to watch elitist pseudo-intellectuals flopping around in the tsunami. Instead of simply observing that Naruto does not appeal to them and moving on, they feel compelled to fight the dreadful possibility that Naruto may in fact have redeeming qualities and …

  5. J2

    Well, this certainly was energetic.

    The most memorable part was probably the magic exploit. If you lose your sword, take the patch off, then put it back on. The transformation sequence brings you the sword back.

    The story was badly deformed to retrofit the first series. Notably, I still cannot …

  6. TNK on Lucky☆Star ep.12

    Mark of That's Not Kanon writes about ep.12 and it sure is some crazy talk.

    Lucky Star’s a good example of exploring relationships in microcosm. Only an episode ago it discussed ideas of being a single woman in Japan, now it goes for another dynamic: A daughter-father relationship …

  7. Impz and Owen on Elitism

    IMHO, the much-promoted double feature turned out to be less than I expected.

    Owen obviously wants to be a liberal scholar in heart, so his item is well structured, but fails to connect to readers (that is to say, to me). I am just not all that interested in made-up …

  8. Power of Perception

    On February 1, 1991, a Boeing 737 landed on top of a Metroliner holding on runway 24L, killing 34. A part of the accident was a perception issue. Experiments were done which proved that if a pilot expected to see an airplane where it was that night, he saw it …
