The write-up at Dame-Dame didn't say much for me despite its considerable length and detail. The biggest question is, are J.C.Staff going to put their second-string team on Taishou Yakyuu Musume, like they did with Index (Toradora ran together with it and claimed the top talent)? This season …
read morePunie-chan fails
Take Dokuro-chan, replace the sex with more violence, add jokes from the kind Sunred made: that is the recipy for Punie-chan (Dai Mahou Touge). Jokes, actually, were ok to great — in particular I remember the suiciding potato man — but I started skipping the rest before the first episode ran out …

Arashi ends
Thanks to the wonders of broadcast order, today's episode (13) was actually the first episode. But in reality it was a pale imitation of the first broadcast episode (01), which it ostensibly precedes. The distance from great to mediocore is only one wrong step.

Also, observe the editorial position:
Outside from that though, there really wasn’t …

Andy's take is positive and agreeable, albeit short and thus unable to look at the whole picture in detail Gurren Lagann deserves, but that's blogging for you.
But the most interesting character in that respect is Rossiu. He's there to comment that, no, you can't run a society off of …

My rampage through Netflix is winding down as my family is slated to return next week, and it looks like finishing with a bang.
Yes, a major character is a dog.When I watch Gokusen, I have to set aside my principles. I do not abide by romantization of crime …

For some, it's an anime about miko magic, but for me it will be about the two little deities. Their substory was that moving.
Liked: Yes
Rewatch: NoNotes:
There are not two, but three tracks from Megumi Hayashibara's center color in the anime, including the insert in the ep …
