1. Omo on iM@S Movie

    Question:

    why are you complaining about that Million Live is being advertised in the Idolm@ster Movie ..?

    I suspect there's a certain disappointment about the opportunity costs. ML is not popular, so every screen second Namco is using to cram its characters down our throats is a second lost to …

  2. Nozaki-kun ends

    A beneficiary of quick off-season watch on legal streaming, Nozaki-kun was an honest comedy that used the meta premise as an excuse for a character study. And it made me laugh uproarously quite a few times.

    Liked: Yes
    Rewatch: Yes, like SYD

  3. Reverse Thieves on Barakamon

    Here we get a proper review, the kind that gets somewhat rare nowadays (certainly Jonathan didn't indulge readers with one). Here's just one graf:

    The most fascinating part of the series is probably the more realistic approach to the creative process. While there are certainly dramatic liberties taken with the …

  4. Tappan on Barakamon

    Published: Wed 01 October 2014

    In 2014.

    And so:

    The ending is sort of heartwarming, but not too heartwarming. [...]

    That would leave room for a sequel if they get the money for one.

    I'm sort of conflicted about the sequel business. The track record of such sequels is mixed. For example, I think Honey and Clover received …

  5. Evirus on Aldnoah.Zero

    Karmaburn:

    Aldnoah.Zero was far and away the best show from Summer 2014. I know a lot of viewers disagree with this opinion, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of its episodes.

    I didn't watch it myself, but going by other reflections, the above very much reminds me about a scene …

  6. Joshiraku rewatch

    For some reason I keep rewatching it raw. Of course, I use pirated raws for convenience's sake, although I have the R2 DVDs. Anyhow, I understand perhaps 10%, so I would be hard pressed to point out the reason.

    Oh, wait. It was predicted in the end-bracket post.

    UPDATE: Don …

  7. Nozaki-kun begins

    This post comes a day after Tappan posts the ender, but of course I actually started a few days back. Already finished 7 episodes, even.

    In general, I'm not enthusiastic about "meta" genre, where the setting is the making of anime or manga. Creators of such work seem lazy, like …

  8. iM@S Cinderella Girls PV(2)

    The new PV is on YouTube (h/t Beveridge) and includes new footage (with spoilers). It is not officially numbered, but I consider it 2nd after the first one that was suddenly named a PV a month after its release.

    Shiburin, apparently, wears a certain necklace at all times, even …

  9. Locodol ends

    Here ends the low-pressure watch of the season. It was not amazing in any way, but it was reasonaly well made and entertaining. This makes me think, should anime aspire to greatness and fall on its face, like Fractale, or should it aim for competent mediocrity and succeed?

    Liked: Okay …
