1. Sixten opens Haibane

    Oh now he's done it:

    As fascinating as it is, I wouldn’t rank Haibane-Renmei higher than Kamichu because the cuteness levels aren’t high enough (Haibane-Renmei seems to be an old series from before the enlightened times of the loli-moe revolution, I mean, Geneon was still around, and still …

  2. Toradora 01

    Spurned on by the enthusiastic endorsement by Jeff Lawson, I gave a quick look to Toradora.

    But before we go any further: I hate when they dispose of noses.

    With that out of the way, it looks like a competent series.

    Unfortunately, I feel like I'm getting jaded and disinterested …

  3. Aria the Animation begins

    It was a fairly inauspicous start. A thought even crossed my mind that it was SDB exacting his revenge on me for Azumanga.

In case anyone wonders what is so bad about …

  6. Hanners on Hyakko

    My echo chamber is quite comfortable, thanks. How about yours?

    Hanners:

    After watching the last episode [03] of Hyakko, I commented on how far short this series falls of the true classics of its genre, despite being easy enough to watch in its own right. To be fair, episode four …

  7. Rocket Girls on DVD

    As soon as I received my DVDs, I set out to rewatch Rocket Girls. As always, it's all about the frame of mind. I remember saying, "writing is excellent, but the animation ticks me off livid. I just can't stand how computerized it looks." I still see the art as …
