1. Aziz on Escaflowne series

    For some reason, this struck me as hilarious:

    My only beef so far is the weird noses. It’s way worse than in the film. Is Garry Trudeau one of the lead animators or something? And I just don’t understand the hairshine thing either. I was, however, pleased to …

  2. Rocket Girls rework for DVD

    According to a post @AoD forums, Rocket Girls will receive a significant rework for the DVD (unfortunately, I was unable to find a more direct source).


    The contrast looks pretty drastic. I heard about reworks before, but never saw anything of this magnitude.

    There is no word on the horrors …

  3. Kanokon off free streaming

    As reported by Canned Dogs:

    Online streaming site Gyao has announced that they’ll no longer have online streaming for Kanokon from ep 7 onwards because it’s getting too extreme. Another streaming site Biglobe has also announced that they will no longer be offering free streaming of Kanokon and …

  4. Evirus on Sky Girls

    Since the Wonderducks's hilarious "Dear Dad..." account is lost forever [*], I suppose the post at Karmaburn is my new canonical description from now on. Evirus is quite tame in it though:

    Sky Girls TV is mostly harmless. It takes no risks and offers little to offend or titillate. The series …

  5. Shiro on... Utena?

    Talk about unexpected. But the initial impression is quite positive.

    Utena was sitting in my queue for quite a while, hampered by the poor availability. The database entry says, verbatim: "Apparently not game? jpmeyer's 10; V.long (10 disc 1ser)". Yes, the length is a problem. If Netflix had it …

  6. Lucky Star in R1

    First impression of the DVD is the quality dub. I remember how Azumanga's quality varied, with Nancy Novotny doing a stellar job as Yomi and Tiffany Grant rather unexpectedly deciding to screech for Kaorin. So far Wendy Lee, Karen Strassman et. al. gave a good account of themselves.


    A.F …

  7. Dai-Guard again

    For no good reason, I am ignoring the unwatched pile and rewatching Dai-Guard. It's a 2000 vintage character show, with a grotescue mecha playing the role of unifying thematic element. This would be the 6th or 7th pass, if I counted, and I begin to appreciate Ooyama quite a bit …

  8. Druaga 07

    Just as I started falling prey to the episodic blogging, Druaga throws an exceptionally ordinary episode at me. There was next to nothing to talk about. So, instead, an accidentially topical screencap.

    And you thought I'd screencap Ethana grabbing her own butt?

  9. TJ on Speed Racer

    TJ says that Speed Racer rules and it's just the bitter moviegoers who cling to their guns and their religion... well, something like that anyway (RIUVA is a team blog as well, but yes, TJ penned the post). I think he may have a point, but in any case everyone …

  10. CJ on Strike Witches

    {UPDATE: Team blog strikes again (but this time I don't have the excuse of theme making the post's author less obvious, so fail indeed; they even have a correct Creator tag in the feed).}

    CJ watched [actually, Crisu did; see above — Author] the little OVA and apparently misses the whole …
