1. Raymond Herera on AsoIku

    I was tempted to title this "Meanwhile Deep In The Mainstream", because look at this:

    This Tuesday, May 15th, FUNimation Entertainment will release the sci-fi comedy harem series “Cat Planet Cuties” and in anticipation of its release the publisher has given us the opportunity to check the series out a …

  2. Sunred on R2 DVD

    This Saturday morning, a mailman made me sign off a parcel from CDjapan.

    It's a long way from 2008, when I misjudged the series so badly. Despite ANBU having done a stellar job, Sunred is not very accessible even to high-level weaboos. You think you get it, but you don't …

  3. The Tourney That Psgels Won

    With the 2nd round, better-known and plainly better blogs started to roll in, and they lose big time, with the exception of SOS and Metanorn that utterly steamrolled their opponents (Metanorn won with 242 to 25, possibly a record, against a crazy homophobic racist). The Queen Of Pr0n, Choux, lost …

  4. Ano Natsu de Matteru ends

    Oh goodie, marathoned another one suddenly. Could not put it down!

    Overall, I think the anime was expertly executed. I am struggling to identify a romantic comedy equally good. I can name a few outstanding, epic love stories with a greater impact (Simon and Nia for one), but they seem …

  5. Bloggers on Ano Natsu

    There is a lot written and even though I only read pre-selected posts, I had to cut mercilessly [trying to say "RTWT" — Ed.]. For starters, I skipped all reminiscences, everything about 1990s. I have no common ground with Suguru and Omo on that, really cannot evaluate anything. All midseries things …

  6. Accel World begins

    Unlike the case of Upotte, the 'sphere basically got Accel World right: it's a run of the mill shonen title. I could've blogged it right after the opener, the anime is very honest about itself. But since Evirus forewarned about "wall-to-wall exposition and unnecessarily long, tedious fight scenes" from ep …

  7. Upotte begins

    Upotte was supposed to be this filthy innuendo vehicle for dirty perverts... but it really is not. It turned out to be a comedy, and honestly I liked its comedic payload more than that of Naruto SD. Funco dealing with puberty gave the haters the excuse to lash out, but …

  8. Carnival Phantasm ends

    Instead of going to bed last night, I stayed and marathoned the rest of Carnival Phantasm, EX and Prototype. To the end, it was a robust comedy anime that striked just the right balance between the in- and out-jokes — in my biased opinion, of course; not being a Type-Moon fan …

  9. DiGiKerot on iM@S

    Leaving the horse armour aside, this caught my attention:

    [...] it wouldn’t be that difficult to design an iM@S-beating idol game that played on the same compulsions (both gameplay and content-wise) as iM@S, but it’d likely be, if not incredibly difficult, certainly extraordinarily expensive to line up …
