1. Druaga:Sword 07

    I won't spoil the details, but we learn that Ahmey is very definitely dead, so GONZO is not going to pull Gascogne on us. But we knew that, right? Just didn't want to believe.

    We still don't know what the heck the kerchief meant.

  2. Figure 17 getto

    Not that I want rewatch it, but Figure 17 was a great show. I had some money left on a gift card with which I paid for Ani-nouto's server, mitsuki, so I used it.

    Also, I noticed just now that it's a Media Blasters release. Surprising. I came to think …

  3. Haruhi Official Parodies

    Youtube continues to deliver the "holy crap" experience. Back when Haruhi was overhyped, I only decided to watch it because of those adorable "Nyoron~" comics and Chiruya; needless to say, the anime was a big disappointment in that regard!

    Now Kadokawa decided to fix that little problem postfactum, by animating …

  4. Evirus' winter rejects

    Since I'm not watching anything [1], I cannot criticize the critique, but the list at Karmaburn seems pretty sensible to me. I don't deny a glee at the failure of Maria+holic. Too bad for Sorakake, I had hopes for that.

    [1] It's an official lie. I continue to see …

Apparently the appeal was that all characters were sympathetic, including Minato. We had a vigorous discussion in MacDonald's about various harem leads. Where SDB places the line at "gets the …

  6. I've seen the future

    It's positively impossible to stay dead when things like this video are happening (I was just browsing lolcats videos and it was suggested...).

    With a long history of giving it a chance, I came to detest the 3D anime and 3D in anime indiscriminately. If 3D is inserted, it invariably …

  7. Don on Moribito

    Don contrasts the anime and the book.

    When you make a movie from a novel, the challenge is to see how much you can jettison and still have a story that makes sense. Making a teevee series from a novel presents the opposite problem: how do you fill thirteen or …

  8. SDS on Dennou Coil

    The post at OGIUE MAXIAX is an old news, but I meant to mark it as a perfect example of what a trained critic sees in Dennou Coil. Look at the big paragraph in the middle with "the storytelling is subtle without being excessively obtuse" and such.

    Myself, I suddenly …
