1. Peter S. on Idolm@ster 09

    Someone is back from China, evidently:

    The iDOLM@ASTER 9 features the annoying twins in an episode that doesn’t really try too hard to make the mystery of the missing puddings interesting, which is just as well. It’s more of a character study of the two girls and …

  2. Ana and SDB on Dog Days (massive spoilers)

    So, here's a question:

    The only point I still don't understand is from episode 10-ish. Millhi is wearing both her country's Holy Swords when she goes to face Leo, but then Shinku is still able to use Palladion when he's chasing after the demon. I'm pretty sure that's Palladion, since …

  3. Idolm@ster TV 10

    And so... we have a hybrid of school athletic festival with the Japanese game TV. Not the worst setting for an idol anime, really. But don't you think that 756PRO team has a big advantage over typical 3-person teams? Thanks to its large headcount, they can rotate fresh players in …

  4. Celeste on Mac Plus

    Frankly, I thought that Plus was garbage, but it takes all kinds:

    The first scenes are nothing short of enchanting, but what ultimately stays with you is the entirely human story: the characters have all given up childhood dreams of some sort – only to realize, in their hollow adult lives …

  5. Emperor J's memorable anime

    Here comes yet another list, with a small twist: what is best remembered even if not most appreciated. Note how Ranma, Tenchi, et.al. did not make it. Martian Successor Nadesico is missing too, but there's one random Gundam. You can see how his mind reaches for dimply remembered classics …

  6. Sacred Blacksmith 12

    The most important thing you must know about Sacred Blacksmith is that it's unfinished. Imagine if Druaga was cancelled after the 1st half (spoilers available). That is what we have here exactly. The big difference is, there was a good chance that Druaga were to continue, while here were apparently …

  7. Nichijou 22

    The pattern stays the same sea of meh with an island of awesome, as always. This time it's Tachibana's little sister, who apparently cannot quite pull Rock Lee [1].

    In the original Japanese, Mihoshi thought: "この人を見てると食らいつきそう …

  8. Sacred Blacksmith and competitors

    While waiting for another Idolm@ster episode, I was binging on B-list anime, easily available on legal streaming. Unlike Omisyth's retard roommate, I know that files are superior, but streaming is so easy. There is no committment.

    I don't think that a download would've helped Ninomiya-kun though. It survived all …

  9. Infinite Stratos retrospective

    With the passage of time, I still see IS as an anime of missing opportunities, but it acquired more of a warm and fuzzy feeling to it. Charlotte, yes, but hey... It is what it is and let's make beautiful memories, as "they" say.

    This is a slightly spoiling entry …

  10. Dog Days ends

    It's a fun romp.

    Liked: Yes
    Rewatch: Naah

    Notes:

    • 01 I cannot stop laughing at the earnestness of it all. And boobies await.
    • 06 Easy to recognize Norio Wakamoto as Godwin; harder Daisuke Ono as Bernard; never heard about Takehito Koyasu.
    • 06 Awww guys, a cut away from a fight …
