It does not seem like much of interest happened while Ani-nouto was down. Nanoha movie? Meh. Another IM@S V2 preview came out, was kinda cute, but same old, and not enough Makoto... And don't get me started on Yurina Hase's retirement (Credible murder threats? Seriously, some fucking scum …
read moreThe late Sunred
Instigated in part by WAH's twittering, I looked at the Sunred 35 ~ 46 (basically from the place I dropped the S2 to about where ANBU is now). The picture is a bit bleak.
Animation went back to the bad old times of ep.1. Kayoko goes off model especially often …
read moreCampanella begins
Right away it must be (dis)claimed that Shukufuku no Campanella begins very conditionally at Ani-nouto, owing to how cretinous it is. My notepad says "Evirus was a fan", although the only mention at Karmaburn is not entirely complimentary. He must've twittered something vaguely positive. IIRC, it was "the best-dressed …
read moreSYD ends, retrospective
There is not much to say about Seitokai Yakuindomo (S.Y.D.) in general except to confirm earlier predictions that it would succeed where Seitokai Ichizon failed. Perhaps it was not side-splittingly funny all the time, but equally it was not nasty like its rival. I even marathoned it in …
read moreSeitokai Yakuindomo begins
This was sudden. Before I took a stock of the situation, I already watched six episodes. And just recently I thought I might quit anime altogether.
I blame the circumstances. I had a training flight cancelled, ostensibly due to thunderstorms, but actually I wasn't feeling well anyway, and so I …

Writing for Kabitzin, Zyl reads signs:
The Shibuya outing has pushed me towards the interpretation that Kirino has brother complex (brocon) – wanting him to buy her that gauche heart-shaped ring and then making him take her to a love hotel (where nothing much happened) makes it extremely difficult to see …
read morePeter S on Zakuro 5 and more
Today's funny tidbit:
As for the trio, they’re supposed to be keeping an eye out for the black widow using flower petals, but they seem to be spending more time goofing off. It gets more frustrating when we know Hanadata has already been led away. And when they get …
read moreApropos the magical phalanx
Seeing a picture in the previous top rotation on Chizumatic got me wondering if we ever see a crew-fired magical weapon. We saw a magical analog of just about every other arrangement, even carrier ops. Group tactics are not uncommon too, and this clearly is a magical formation. Now, Gurren-Lagann …

Robert (The 'R' in RACS) is acting butthurt:

Zakuro foreshadowing
I don't have much time for anime[blogging] these days, but here's just one quick thought: looks like nobody blogging Zakuro is picking up on this:
Instead, we get blogging how Zakuro is a day-to-day romantic comedy yada yada. I may be wrong as usual, but I expect the opposing …
