Arakawa Under the Bridge episode 13 (finale)

In a move that should surprise nobody, the last episode stayed removed from the plot and was basically a ‘special’. Which is a good thing because the plot worked perfectly as it was and I would have been pretty devastated if they changed it at all, what with all my blubbering in the last episode……

Hetalia World Series episode 13

Waiting for subs. It’s like when your history teacher is sick for a week. Except when your history teacher wasn’t subbed, you actually enjoyed not having to listen to him. When Hetalia is ill it takes you a while to realise…err, I think I mixed something up there. In a move that comes as a……

The difference in love between Chobits and Time of Eve

Both Chobits and Time of Eve deal with humans’ relationships with robots. In fact, they both go further than that. They focus, in some or another, on love. In both instances they say that a human can love a robot. Hideki is, completely and utterly, without any sign or hint of creepiness, in love with……

Durarara!! episode 24 (finale)

And so we come to the end of what could have been one of anime’s all time classic series. What we got instead was still one of the best things you’ll see all year, but lacked the consistency. It didn’t lack oomph or the special factor, strangely enough. It had the ingredients to be a……

Arakawa Under the Bridge episode 12

Don’t hide inside that cloud. Come down and strike me. I’m perfectly happy if you’re loud about it. I want a bolt of lightning to open my eyes, to pierce my heart. I’m the one who’s afraid. On this plain without a single tree, I have nowhere to hide. Best opening sequence of Arakawa since……

No anime is dropped forever: Ouran High School Host Club

There’s no point in doing these ‘no anime is dropped forever’ posts if I don’t actu­ally watch any of the anime fea­tured. This time it’s into the dreaded shoujo realm with Ouran High School Host Club (which, btw, will possibly be followed by the overwhelming manliness of Princess Tutu). Picked up on: Episode 1 Why I……

Durarara!! episode 23

The second last episode of Durarara. You would hope that it was going to end on a high but good endings to anime are few and far between. A good ending is enough to raise your opinion of a series by several degrees and, as the very name of this blog should tell you, I……

Studio Rikka in Noitamina + Artfaggory ruining the timeslot

Studio Rikka, the creators of Pale Cocoon and Time of Eve, are on show in the Noitamina timeslot this season. Many people may be surprised at this fact. I mean, aren’t House of Five Leaves and Tatami Galaxy the two shows this season in Noitamina? Isn’t Five Leaves done by Manglobe, and Tatami Galxy done……

Hetalia World Series episode 12

After his appearance in Hetalia being hyped up more than the Spanish football team at the world cup, it’s finally time for Prussia to take centre stage. Been compared in the comments as the Chuck Norris of Hetalia (although I think he has more in common with Hosaka with Minami-ke. Both rarely appear but are……

Arakawa Under the Bridge episode 11

The opening monologue this week was bordering on pretentious so I’m going to ignore it and instead focus on a picture with Nino standing on a comet. Or maybe she’s standing on a paint stroke that the artist accidentally put onto his beautiful picture of the earth. Both are just as likely as each other.……
