Grrl Power left me confused somewhat. It's supposed to be crap, but I liked many elements (especially backgrounds were fabulous), and 70% of the story. The ending was a bit of a letdown. I wanted to compare it to ef, which suffered a lapse of storytelling at the end too …

read moreHinano on escapism
Hinano comes very close to declaring a burnout, and adds a few general points which caught my attention:
Perhaps once you get older and there are bigger things to worry about (like your apartment rent and the economy instead of what someone wrote on your myspace page), you start to …

I think I like this show more than it deserves, but there's no accounting for love.
Dai-Guard's animation varies a lot, and so produces some pretty stunning examples. I am just scared to think how many blue and pink lines were drawn for the above. And it's not a still …

Omo reports from Kotono Mitsuishi's panel. This is life.
When I started going to anime conventions, I found panels deadly boring and spent all my time in video rooms, making extensive notes. But over time I turned around and came to realize that the key is to hit the 10 …

Episode 08 of Tower of Druaga had all marks of a filler, except it wasn't. Also, Kaaya shows that she can carry a hidden agenda.
Does this look familiar?
I've seen this ritual in Nadeshiko:
There, it was revealed that they drank a fruit-flavoured milk drink. Here, Coopa reveals the …

While I rub tresholds of government offices, Giapet visits Gainax panel only 50 km to the south-south-east.

Sasa looks forward to summer (and this time it's her) and Hidamari reimplementation "x365":
The main achievement of Hidamari Sketch is, in my opinion, the most endearing facial expressions that anime has ever brough. Of course only die-hard fans like me would appreciate it, so Hidamari Sketch will hopefully fill …
