1. Celeste on Mac Plus

    Frankly, I thought that Plus was garbage, but it takes all kinds:

    The first scenes are nothing short of enchanting, but what ultimately stays with you is the entirely human story: the characters have all given up childhood dreams of some sort – only to realize, in their hollow adult lives …

  2. Emperor J's memorable anime

    Here comes yet another list, with a small twist: what is best remembered even if not most appreciated. Note how Ranma, Tenchi, et.al. did not make it. Martian Successor Nadesico is missing too, but there's one random Gundam. You can see how his mind reaches for dimply remembered classics …

  3. Sacred Blacksmith 12

    The most important thing you must know about Sacred Blacksmith is that it's unfinished. Imagine if Druaga was cancelled after the 1st half (spoilers available). That is what we have here exactly. The big difference is, there was a good chance that Druaga were to continue, while here were apparently …

  4. Nichijou 22

    The pattern stays the same sea of meh with an island of awesome, as always. This time it's Tachibana's little sister, who apparently cannot quite pull Rock Lee [1].

    In the original Japanese, Mihoshi thought: "この人を見てると食らいつきそう …

  5. Sacred Blacksmith and competitors

    While waiting for another Idolm@ster episode, I was binging on B-list anime, easily available on legal streaming. Unlike Omisyth's retard roommate, I know that files are superior, but streaming is so easy. There is no committment.

    I don't think that a download would've helped Ninomiya-kun though. It survived all …

  6. Infinite Stratos retrospective

    With the passage of time, I still see IS as an anime of missing opportunities, but it acquired more of a warm and fuzzy feeling to it. Charlotte, yes, but hey... It is what it is and let's make beautiful memories, as "they" say.

    This is a slightly spoiling entry …

  7. Dog Days ends

    It's a fun romp.

    Liked: Yes
    Rewatch: Naah

    Notes:

    • 01 I cannot stop laughing at the earnestness of it all. And boobies await.
    • 06 Easy to recognize Norio Wakamoto as Godwin; harder Daisuke Ono as Bernard; never heard about Takehito Koyasu.
    • 06 Awww guys, a cut away from a fight …

  8. Idolm@ster TV 09

    There were a few problems. I just do not like mystery shows, for one. Also, they clearly try too hard (pictured)... and fail to match the previous episode's frolics.

  9. Idolm@ster TV 08

    It was a robust comedy episode that did not tell us much of anything new about the characters, but it will do. Better the humorous filler than dull one.

    Sorry for the massive spoilers, but it's the only decent screencap that I took. There weren't any notes either!

    P.S …

  10. Dog Days begins

    The pad entry for Dog Days fingers the final post at Chizumatic as the reason to watch, but on re-read it's unclear what I found in it. Really what I expected is a relative of Otogi Juushi Akazukin - a magical transport into alternate world series. I should have known better …
