    In meta.

    This topic did not reoccur since 2009, guess we're not into navel-gazing much. I remembered to check the breakdown because of Omo's tweet about iM@S having a "deep and multifaceted fandom". So:

  2. Gargantia

    The best thing to be said about Suisei no Gargantia is that PIG's animation is top-notch, even if they tent to flaunt hair motion. Visuals are absolutely fabulous.

    Other than the visuals, however, content is fairly light... Not light as in "fluff", but light as in "diet". The scope of …

  3. Attack on Titan

    As twittered, I bought the Kindle manga at Amazon, just to support the format, and was disappointed. So, when my Fabulous Anime Club started showing Attack on Titan, I did not pay it much attention. The first few episodes clearly animated the manga to the letter, so there wasn't much …

  4. Damn you, Gree

    According to the PV at Youtube (h/t Mr.Kerot), the upcoming iDOLM@STER movie is going to include girls of Million Live. If I cared a little more, I would've raged badly, because so far I found no way to access said Million Live. Gree is adamant about the …

  5. Non-Non-Biyori begins and it is not very good

    I'm going to reserve the judgement on the anime as a whole, primarily because I'm a victim of "poisoned by manga" syndrome. But to pick on one most unpleasant lapse, my favourite segment of visiting the candy store was butchered. In the manga, the pacing and fidelity were excellent. It …

  6. Evirus on Silver Spoon

    In season's review:

    Gin no Saji (Silver Spoon) was easily the best summer 2013 series that I watched. It was consistently entertaining and I was impressed with how Hachiken's character developed over the show's 11 episodes. Even the quandary with "Pork Bowl" ended up much better than I expected. That …

  7. WataMote ends

    In the end, the protagonist is a bad person, and that is a problem that needs to be fixed before the communication and social adjustment.

    The few final episodes tried to ground the charge of the nasty after 08 (with Kii-chan, lies about boyfriends and cheating against little kids). The …

  8. The authenticity of non-Japanese manga, by Sixten

    [Reader's mail delivered an op-ed by none other than Sixten himself — Author]

    This is a response to your post where you quote someone who doesn't think the term "manga" should be used to refer to comics that don't come from Japan.

    Who made that decision anyway?

    Not the Japanese, I …

  9. Silver Spoon season ends

    Anime of the season, easily. Back when Moyashimon aired, I wanted it to be this. Instead, we've got leather-clad lesbians. Not that there's anything wrong with leather-clad lesbians, but there was nothing particularly interesting or moving about them. This, however, is real.

    To be sure, the story of character growth …
