1. Asobi ni Ikuyo begins

    Or at least tentatively begins. Everything seems to go for AsoIku, but I dunno, it does not seem very exciting. At first I hoped for a romp like Sorakake, but the setup is more ordinary.

    The production values were excellent, except that all girls seem to have the same face …

  2. Asobi ni Ikuyo at Crunchy

    Crunchyroll announced that they will simulcast Asobi ni Ikuyo (right, short "yo"). It sounded kinda interesting, but I dunno... This season is full as it is, and Crunchy is a pain. Also, I am nursing a DTO grudge. Beveridge will jump on it, I'm sure.

  3. Moofang on Mitsudomoe

    For a lesson in warped perceptions:

    [..] the first half of the show bored me. It’s becoming steadily more difficult to hold an audience’s attention with nothing but weird characters in this day and age – we’ve seen so much of em, so seeing yet another three grade school …

  4. Idolm@ster OVA

    So, the Live for You! OVA. The deal here is very simple: if you are a fan of Idolm@ster, you must watch it. Otherwise, stay away.

    As an anime, it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Production values are low, characters go off-model all the time (faces deform), Miki is …

  5. Mitsudomoe 02

    There is nothing to say about this episode but to agree with Aroduc. It's not as strong an episode as the opener.

    On second thought, the build-out of Mitsuba's character was curious. She was caught red-handed in moments of compassion twice.

  6. Names and numbers of Marui sisters

    It does not take a genius to observe that Marui sisters are named sequentially. But what's puzzling, they are also given numbers, and the numbers run in the opposite direction to names. For example Hitoha is #3 (see the screencap).

    What gives?

    UPDATE: Just saw this in the preview for …

  7. Nico-nico sponsors SW2 broadcast

    I did not see this mentioned on blogs:

    Not sure what it means and how great is the amount of money involved, but nonetheless, it's curious. Nico-nico is no Crunchyroll, it's more like Youtube (or even Youtube before it was bought by Google).

  8. Just ripe for anime

    Seen a few minutes ago what "Too Old For Anime" has for HSoTD and Mitsudomoe. It opens with a mature movieblogger's prose, the kind you'd expect from Kaedrin:

    [..] When Takashi does the sensible thing and bludgeons Hisashi, she turns on him with hate. Takashi, who is in love with her …
