Returning to: Kaiba

If you want real massive anime boob action, you don’t go to Eiken. You go to Kaiba. As I outlined in my last anniversary post, I’m planning to return to a bunch of my old favourite anime, although it feels weird to call something from the spring 2008 season ‘old’. That was the first season……

The readers have spoken part 3

Final batch of responding to reader questions. If you want to ask me something more, then I’ll answer them in formspring itself. Noitamina has only been around since 2005, so it’s not like it’s a massive stretch to include them all. The only Noitamina anime I haven’t seen are Antique Bakery, Tale of Genji, Hataraki……

[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control episode 10

MICROMEZZOMACMEZZOMACROMEZZOMICMEMICROMEZZICROMECRO CANNIBALISM The last post set a few people off into various disagreements and theories as to what allegory [C] is trying to draw. I sided with the idea that it’s a criticism of deficit spending, but in real terms the only thing it will really make sense in is the world of [C] itself.……

Fractale episode 5

Anime needs more dancing, so thank you Yamakan and your insistence on putting dance scenes into almost every anime you work on. Black Rock Shooter would have been much better if there was dancing. The dancing in Fractale is a bit on the blobby side, with the animation hardly being top tier. It certainly pales……

My 80’s and early 90’s OVA splurge part 2

Part 2 of my journey through the land of the 80’s and early 90’s OVA’s. The land in question usually being a smoggy mega city with lots of construction work going on where cyborgs are chased by a special police force. With boobs. Silent Mobius 1991-2 – 2 movies Set in a mega city where……

Favourite Anime Characters

This is the 500th post I’ve written since starting blogging, so I figured I should celebrate the occasion with something a bit more substantial than a boring Bakuman episodic. So I settled on a simple list. The second most ‘important’ one after the top anime list. My favourite anime characters of all time. Griffith Berserk……

Perhaps a dropped anime should stay that way

The end of an era except nowhere near as dramatic

Watch the abridged version of Black Rock Shooter

Black Rock Shooter can be described as Casshern Sins X K-ON. The two parts of the show don’t intermingle though. The other-worldly, Casshern Sins esque place doesn’t crossover with the s’life parts. You’ll have a long scene involving two girls doing what they always do in anime followed by a scene of a girl in……

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……

No anime is dropped forever: Kobato

There’s no point in run­ning these ‘no anime is dropped forever’ posts if I never actu­ally watch any of the anime in ques­tion. Kobato ran away with the poll in the post it was in so I had to pick it up again. Clannad After Story was a relative success while Excel Saga wasn’t, apart from……
