1. Steelbound on Arashi 01

    The post at The Null Set provides for a hilarious contradiction with my own impression:

    I thought the animation quality was just abysmal compared to what Shaft is capable of doing, the animation style was very generic, and the characters were drawn really sloppily – there must have been at least …

  2. Tayutama 01

    It was surprisingly decent.

    Animation is a bit sketchy, its line style reminding me of Sekirei. Not many shadows though.

    One bothersome thing was how confusing the rules for seeing deities were. Yuuri can see the ones surrounding the bossy Absurdly Powerful Council President from Other School. However, the escaped …

  3. SDS on advertising

    Ogiue Maniax:

    Is it all right to, in some sense, trick people into reading your book or watching your show? Is it simply a case that if you told most people that Saiunkoku was like, political shoujo, that it would turn most people away?

    Apropos that, a few bloggers I …

  4. Saiunkoku Monogatari 01

    Beatiful art and animation, solid story.

    Amusingly, the only seyuu I recognize is Eri Sendai, plaing the little tea-bussing girl: I know her for the main role in Rocket Girls.

    I wanted something like 12k, only not cut into pieces. Moribito would be ideal, it if were available. So far …

  5. Names of K-ON

    Since Manabi had a special scheme for names, I went to check if names in K-ON had some cute gaglet attached. But according to ANN, it turned out to be a bit of pandering to fans of rock, or an inside joke at best:

    The family names of the four …

  6. Gia asks Naruto fans

    In an inversion of John's answer schtick, Gia asks, "If you're one of the online Naruto watchers, where do you tune in?"

    I watch Shippuuden on Crunchyroll. Sure, Crunchy is evil, but then is Hulu not evil? Gia wrote herself that Hulu was built by incumbents.

    But overall I resent …

  7. Hashi-hime on Spring 2009

    Published: Mon 27 April 2009

    In anime.

    Translations: en

    While Jason Miao tried to return with the thin slicing last week, it just wasn't the same anymore. But Hashi-hime still goes strong. The article is easy to scroll and digest, is well sourced, and I find its capsule comments dangerously persuasive. For example, for Arashi: "Too shounen for me …

  8. John on remakes

    Under the guise of an answer, he collates known remakes. Surprisingly, there aren't that many, although the only item that I see bypassed is Tenchi (where TV series borrowed heavily from the OVA).

    By the way, I'm pretty sure that the questions he uses as an excuse are real. A …

  9. DiGiKerot lampoons Saki

    But he does it visually. Outstanding! I think the funniest part is how he applied the vaunted "trauma" to the opposite member. Everyone loves the freaking trauma so much. What's so good about it?

    BTW, Nanoha GamerS 35 came out yesterday. It seems to struggle in its rut a bit …
