1. Nova on PSG

    He seems not enthralled:

    Thus the most experimental show in the season grinds to an end. It was about time too as it was steadily losing steam over its run.

    ... however...

    PSG was a nice change to the usual anime routine and the various tricks Gainax was playing around with …

  2. Rewatching Lucky Star

    Published: Sun 26 December 2010
    By Author

    In anime.

    Translations: en

    This turned out to be the greatest linguistic challenge yet. I maybe get 5% of what's being said. The problem is mostly in the casual. Vocabulary, certainly, but the turns of phrase are odd and the sentences are so long that I cannot keep up. There is very little action …

  3. Choux's screen

    In before an avalanche of spoiling screencaps, one observation:

    Today, I have come across an epiphany: one of the reasons that I read a lot of VNs is because my computer can’t play HD anime. Now, I have a new computer which allows me to watch 1080p videos on …

  4. It takes all kinds

    Samu-kun writes:

    For over a year we waited for the anime adaptation of the great visual novel, Yosuga no Sora. And now, after its passing, we can now all sigh in relief – our wait was not in vain.

  5. Kyon and ambiguity

    I heard that the recently pirated Haruhi movie, in which I have no interest otherwise, made it clear fairly explicitly that Kyon actually likes all the bullshit (and apparently wants it back when it stops or something like that). He's still a battered husband, but a voluntary one, like the …

  6. DM on Ishihara ordinance

    I have already twittered the article, but the matter may be consequential, ergo reblog. I tuned out people who were worked up, so DM's theatrise is timely. Executive summary:

    Contrary to what certain easily-excitable individuals [link: Sankaku] may proclaim, this is not a ban and this is not the end …

  7. SDB on TWGOK

    IMHO the biggest issue with Steven's approach to TWGOK is the way it's being lumped together with Yosuga no Sora. He finds a custom excuse to dismiss it later ("insults intelligence"), but the structure of the post makes me suspect that its destiny was sealed beforehand. Note that at no …

  8. Kurage-hime 01-02

    I meet the ghastly pall casted by Railgun by binging quickly on a variety of anime that were marked in the queue. Kurage-hime is one, selected because someone mentioned derisively how it was about "ugly nerd women" (I think it might have been Nobar, or maybe Sage).

    Regrettably, the show …

  9. How history repeats

    We all heard how history repeats itself twice: first as a tragedy and then as a farce. Nothing illustrates the marxim better than the way Onii-chan no Koto nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne!! follows upon Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai (or so it seems before …
