Sagematt (last heard coblogging for Nova), asked me the question. The clever dude noticed that I was very much into the manga as well as the anime, and that the proper way to enjoy the ReLIFE is to enjoy the time with the characters, which leads to the assumption of …
read moreSaiki Flash
I watched an episode of Saiki at Crunchy and thought I'd have a look a little ahead... Went to YouTube, and.... Why was I not informed?!
Apparently, Saiki was animated in "flash anime" before. It's basically like the original manga of One Punch Man. Upload dates are somewhere in 2013 …
read moreReLIFE manga
My attention was drawn to ReLIFE by a post at Blue Blue Wave, of all places. However, Papa Pixy warned that the anime has no ending and just stops midway, like Sacred Blacksmith. So, if you want to know how it went, you have to read the manga. So I …
read moreCeleste on Tamako Love Story
Ani-nouto was critical of Tamako Love Story despite its high recommendations, but have a look at the analysis by Bateszi's co-blogger. Despite its personalistic lead-in, it focused on the movie itself rather than impression left by the movie (insomuch these can be separated).

Arrietty
Oops, I did it again. Thought I would never buy and watch another DVD without downloading a rip first, but I wanted a memento from my quintiennial visit to Fry's. They still have an anime section!
I don't know if this is what a Ghibli film not directed by Miyazaki …
read moreYuuna Yuuki Yuusha ends
Rarely we find an anime series that elicits such uniform and congenial response from bloggers... or former bloggers (Twitter killed animeblogging). Kuro: "#yuyuyu finale particularly bad. 7 mins of fighting solved with WILLPOWER then the rest shameless attempt at last min drama." And: "The drama was literally pointless too. They …
read moreEvirus on something-on
Although I think Evirus should be commended on attempting an analysis, I don't feel the fire to agree or disagree and to quote at length. I watched 3 episodes of Bakuon and didn't care for the series. Omo found it worth the trouble to debate the point, so more power …
read moreInitial D Fourth 06
I once showed the ep.6 of Initial D Fourth Stage to a friend, who is a semi-professional racer. I knew already that the depiction of hashirya culture was realistic. But this time we were considering the racing element. I chose that specific episode because it contained a whole battle …
read moreSpace Patrol Luluco
Luluco is an amusing in its mad dash anime, but why are they ripping so much from Gurren-Lagann? Although Studio Trigger is founded, and largely populated, by GAINAX escapees, with InuBattle they have proven that they can do better than copy their parent. So, why regress to this? I mean …
read moreRabujoy on Kuma Miko
At the end of the day, Kuma Miko’s biggest fault is a lack of warmth between the characters (or enough warmth to counter balance the abuse, akward personalities and mental illness) [...]
I'm not sure I share his enthusiasm for Flying Witch, which seems to stutter every now and then …
