After a handful of episodes, a show has pretty much established what it is. If you jump to watch it the moment it’s released, it’s probably a 9-10. If you don’t mind waiting a day or two, it’s probably an 8. If you don’t mind waiting a few days to a week, it’s probably a [...]

A double feature of Haruhi-chan, while Churuya-san is still MIA. Haruhi-chan #5

If the writers decided to take the few characters they’ve pretty much ignored for the past 2-and-a-half seasons and turn them into completely irresistible moeblobs for one episode, what would you say? YES! Okawari! Part 1: Atsuko and Yoshino’s Weakness Appeal

chronotrigger

I hope I don’t invite the wrath of Chrono Trigger fanboys, but having heard so many great things about Chrono Trigger and missing out on it during its Super Nintendo glory days, I thought I’d give the DS version a shot (I was a Sega Genesis fanboy in those days, building my chops on games [...]

Kurokami is schizophrenic. It’s all over the place. feel like the writers are trying very hard, but failing miserably at keeping the story cohesive and sensible.

It’s been a tough few months for Gonzo. First they announced that they were reducing their anime output from 8 to 4 shows a year. Then they were rumored to be cutting up to 50 jobs – and ended up announcing that they were cutting a 100. Then they announced that they were dissolving Gonzo… [...]

Note to self. Don’t invite God to play Clue. She solves all mysteries.

I have no idea what the scheduled release dates are for these webcasts, but I guess they’re not weekly. Actually, I’m not even sure how many webisodes there are supposed to be. I’ve been assuming 12-13. But since it’s Haruhi, who knows. Kadokawa might run a handful of episodes. And then they might air a [...]
