1. Trigger discipline

    On topic of trigger discipline, this was at Cinderella Girls today:

    Tsk, tsk.

    Steven also explains why he didn't actually watch Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka thus:

    "Cute girls doing cute things" isn't a genre I really get into. Strawberry Marshmallow and Yuru Yuri kind of overdosed me. I couldn't …

  2. SAO vs Log Horizon

    At a meeting of my fabulous anime club, I had a chance to watch SAO and Log Horizon back to back, and frankly Log Hor wins hands down. SAO has better production values, it looks like an anime asking for HD experience. But its characters are not anyone I would …

  3. Gundam Build Fighters ends

    GBF is one of those anime that wear their soul on their sleeve. Its robust, open, fun nature makes it a great entertainment for the weary. Remember how the "chemo for pseudo-intelligenzia shows"? That wasn't one, but this sure is.

    It certainly is not without its flaws. The premise of …

  4. Avatar on Zvezda

    Andy sent a comment:

    Honestly, the real problem for me is that they never really built the world they were busy trying to conquer. Warring prefectures? Governor of Tokyo has legions of minions borrowed from Jin-Roh? Is it Udo that put the Udo in Udogawa? Who the heck knows.

    It's …

  5. Nova on Zvezda

    To be entirely honest, I felt somewhat unfulfilled by Zvezda's ending. The finale seemed fake and empty, but if someone else challenged my impression, I would not be able to back it up (except perhaps that the creators betrayed the build-up for the main duo). Nova, however, pulls no …

  6. Zvezda ends

    The ending would be very confusing if I were still trying to figure out what the heck was even happeing, but fortunately I gave up. Unfortunately though, this leaves me with little material for reflection. So... things happened... there was some fighting and conquesting... but nobody [of consequence] died... while …

  7. Is this the best season or the worst?

    Brickmuppet prompted me to consider the score and remarkably this season is one of the busiest at Ani-nouto in years. After the Nanoha disaster, we would typically follow 1 (one) simulcast or fansub, and dillute it with a batch, possibly adding a rewatch. Not so in 2014 Winter. When the …

  8. Kotoura-san begins

    The most interesting feature of the way Kotoura-san begins is how compressed the intro is, in a sense that a fairly rich pre-history of the setup is unrolled in 2 episodes. It reminded me much about KimiNozo very much, where all the coma was over in the same space, and …

  9. Otou-san on the design of iM@S TV

    The editorial at A&V felt a little cold and its approach algebraic, but it was not counterfactual, as far as attempts to focus on the trees of a forest go.

    The reason the anime focuses on Miki, Chihaya, and Haruka is that they are designated leader of each "color …
