In case you didn't know, "tari-tari" is the name of a syntax in Japanese language, which stands for "we did this and that". To my mind it clearly messages the slice-of-life nature of the series, but nobody seems to pick on that. Well, I'm sure people like Moogy and WAH …
read moreNazo no Kanojo X OVA on 8/23
Just noticed that ANN claims an upcoming release, to be bundled with a limited edition manga v.9 in late August. Tempting, if it's real. But most likely they are out of preorder slots already, it's July.
read moreEmperorJ on Asa Made Jugyou Chu!
He says it was not even "terribad":
For something that I thought might qualify as terribad anime, I was expecting much more than implied sex scene after implied sex scene. At least terribad anime typically has gratuitous amounts of violence thrown in for fun, but this was just entirely about …

He says, "Not really an ending, but a good place to stop for now." Sounds like a decent show for a queue.
UPDATE: Chris Beveridge has more:
In the end, nothing is really resolved, which makes sense, as the manga’s been running for several years past the point where …
read moreJohn Sato on Nazo no Kanojo X
This is interesting, and although I only watched a couple of episodes, I think he may be on to something:
read moreMGX has no conflict or confusion about its fanservice. Instead, it actually embraces it, making it a major plot device. What I find interesting is that MGX manages to make …
Schneider on Fate/Zero
Basically, he didn't like anyone among Masters, because they are jerkfaces. I can sympathize, it would be a thing that ruined the anime for me. Tappan was able to juice himself on the tragedy (see the the tag), but without seeing for myself, I find Schneider's point persuasive.
UPDATE: CKS …
read moreDD2 TV spots
The official page refuses to show videos for me (presumably a bad iteraction of dumb Javascript code and Flashblock), but they are at YouTube. Just make sure to search for some simple terms. The 30s spot of Pastishche side features the chipmunk girl, who sits comfortably in an armchair, without …
read moreEmperor J on ending of Mouretsu Pirates
read moreAs for my thoughts on the series as a whole, it began as a promising story of a high school girl’s entry into a dangerous world that appeared to be wonderfully constructed. As the layers came off, it became much easier to see that there really …
Evirus on Tasogare something Amnesia
He finished it, and:
read moreAs you might expect, the anime's ending stumbled because the original manga is still ongoing. This gave the Tasogare Otome x Amnesia anime basically three choices: (1) A non-ending ending, which seems to be the most common cop-out, (2) an original ending after diverging from the …
Fencedude on Accel World 12
Writing for Sea Slugs, he mostly spends bytes on retelling, but there's also this:
I wonder if Sword Art Online is one of those Online VR Games that Haruyuki has in his collection.
I saw some crazy cross-overs happen. Of course, Mave-chan was one giant ad for Stratos 4. Then …
