1. Stella C3 ends

    Stella C3-bu spent the last 2 episodes unconvincingly unwinding the Yura spring that they wound up so tightly. She did not remember her desire to grow even once, instead longing for a place to belong. And the animation took a major nosedive at the end. Not quite EVA stick figures …

  2. The Blogger Water Torture

    Usually known as Chinese Water Torture, but actually Russians applied it too, as early as 400 A.D. at least, so let's get more specific:

    By the way, that's the reason why an anime with a really silly or strange concept can turn out to be a masterpiece. Girls driving …

  3. Casshern Sins

    Once again my fabulous anime club is giving me ideas, although most showings were duds. The Galaxy Express 999 was off to a rocky start as the main character plays Golgo and kills, well, just about everyone in first two episodes. Yeah. Who knew. Tsk, tsk, Leiji Matsumoto. Of course …

  4. Brickmuppet on Stella 09

    How's this for analysis:

    Yura hates her personal weaknesses which led her to such misery in the past by preventing her from having any fun. Now that she has begun to overcome her weakness she will allow nothing to hold her back from strengthening herself... least of all fun.

  5. Bateszi on Silver Spoon 06

  6. Gendomike on Watamote 06

    Anime Diet:

    It also threatens, as some viewers have already concluded, to become a bit monochromatic and static. There appears to be no narrative arc or much change to Tomoko.

    Apparently he didn't notice that she talked at length to the two shotas, on her own volition, and with much …

  7. Silver Spoon begins

    I wanted a decent Moyashimon, and I got one. But it's not a masterpiece. We get a story of a guy who runs away from being a model student and proceeds thinking with his penis, if at all. Frankly, it's not terribly entertaining, but it's harmless enough and fills up …

  8. Hanners of WataMote 04

    The Last Leaf is left for Hanners in WataMote:

    Even if it hasn't frequently been the height of amusement for me, I've given WATAMOTE something of a free pass as it seemed to at least have its heart in the right place - however, this week's episode has me wondering whether …
