read moreAnimax pretty much work on the opposite business model to Crunchyroll, in so much as new episodes of “simulcast” shows are available for around two weeks to everyone, and what the subscribing user is paying for access to is catalogue content. I do have to give them props for …
Gundam Build Fighters ends
GBF is one of those anime that wear their soul on their sleeve. Its robust, open, fun nature makes it a great entertainment for the weary. Remember how the "chemo for pseudo-intelligenzia shows"? That wasn't one, but this sure is.
It certainly is not without its flaws. The premise of …

iM@S Cinderella Girls anime announced
Remember the "preview of nothing"? It was actually a preview of new anime series, as revealed today. Which means Rin and Anya are in.
When I came back from putting 6 hours on Hobbs and checked how my pokegirl cards are doing, and the announcement came up, I reacted with …
read moreNova on Zvezda
To be entirely honest, I felt somewhat unfulfilled by Zvezda's ending. The finale seemed fake and empty, but if someone else challenged my impression, I would not be able to back it up (except perhaps that the creators betrayed the build-up for the main duo). Nova, however, pulls no …

The ending would be very confusing if I were still trying to figure out what the heck was even happeing, but fortunately I gave up. Unfortunately though, this leaves me with little material for reflection. So... things happened... there was some fighting and conquesting... but nobody [of consequence] died... while …

Brickmuppet prompted me to consider the score and remarkably this season is one of the busiest at Ani-nouto in years. After the Nanoha disaster, we would typically follow 1 (one) simulcast or fansub, and dillute it with a batch, possibly adding a rewatch. Not so in 2014 Winter. When the …

Bloggers on Kotoura-san
http://re-jinx.me/2012/12/27/first-look-at-13-winter-season/ Kotoura-san – The art looks ugly as butt. Depends on how funny it is. http://karmaburn.com/?p=5243 I dropped Kotoura-san at episode nine. This is unusual for two reasons: First, Kotoura-san is a really good show sometimes. Or at least it really … read moreKotoura-san begins
The most interesting feature of the way Kotoura-san begins is how compressed the intro is, in a sense that a fairly rich pre-history of the setup is unrolled in 2 episodes. It reminded me much about KimiNozo very much, where all the coma was over in the same space, and …
