1. Idolm@ster TV 04

    So, a Chihaya's episode this is. In it, Namco makes her to do a job that involves no singing (some TV game show). With a low key encouragement from P-san, she carries through with it. The End. Only they did not show us the most important thing: how this experience …

  2. Idolm@ster TV 03

    This was a Yukiho episode, in even greater degree than the previous one belonged to Iori. There was essentially nothing else.

    Honestly, some of it was painful to watch. In the games, Yukiho passes for a nice girl with a harmless quirk. But here she is a real psychopath. Granted …

  3. Nia

    The most kick-ass damsel in distress since... I meant to say since Luthien, but IIRC she rescued Beren, so it was backwards, or she was not in distress, depending how you look at it. Therefore, the most kick-ass damsel in distress, ever.

    I also meant to yak a bit about …

  4. Otou on Mawaru Penguin Drum

    Nova prompted Otou (founder of SOS) to send me an e-mail, where — between attempts to reduce me to rubble and paragraphs of personal abuse — he described his view of MawaPengu thus:

    Penguindrum's buzz on the blogs is a result of two things:

    • Pedigree. this is Kunihiko Ikuhara we're talking about …

  5. Nova on Mawaru Penguin Drum

    Unlike myself, who rejects e.g. Madoka without watching, Nova gave penguins a try:

    Where a shitty shoujo show pretends to be a humorous, thoughtful and dramatic noitaminA show. The bipolar on-off-drama is complemented with the incestuous dynamic duo of a girl with a dick and the Shoujo Male Crush …

  6. Crunchyroll drops SW2

    Yesterday, July 16, the series was there. Today, it is not. No announcement of any kind, the page just reverted to a placeholder.

    UPDATE: Thomas tweeted that it was announced, I just did not find it.

    Another funny thing: once CR drops the show, it disappears from the watchlist. Go …

  7. Favourite Gurren-Lagann quote

    LORD GENOME: I know that I have no right to act as your father, but you've done well.

    NIA: Thank you, father.

    This angle made Campanella a lot more watcheable.

    In the original Japanese:

    ロージェノム「ニア、今更父親面できる …

  8. Suguru on early IM@S

    First this:

    I miss Yui Horie as Yukiho.

    I would be facepalming if I cared much about Seiyuu... He misses Yui Horie, but not Yurika Ochiai? How does that even work?

    That aside though, here's a serious issue:

    Still, I know A-1 can do better, I've seen Kannagi and Sora …

  9. Evirus' anime auto-biography

    A post went up at Karmaburn that addresses the evergreen topic: how did you get into anime? The point he is making, in my biased view, is that there was no gateway drug. I don't know who came up with this idea, but really. It just does not work that …
