Apologies to ghostlightning for ripping off the title, but it felt like the most appropriate choice of words. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Hopefully my post does the name some justice.

Having selectively read bits and pieces of the Hayate manga in anticipation for the 2nd season, I would say for Hina fans, there’s been one scene that we’ve wanted to see animated. And thankfully, it did not disappoint.
So the first episode sure lived up to its description – to a T. A ring falls into the sea, two mermaids find it, return it and then certain events lead to one of the mermaids accidentally releasing a demon seal (although it was actually not on the sea floor). That’s what they said the [...]
I wonder how much Nagato really cares that time is repeating? Or is her boredom in the eye of the beholder?
There’s only a handful of games that have gripped me completely. Knights of the Old Republic is the first that comes to mind, for its tremendous story and gameplay. Ocarina of Time is up there, simply because it was the first game in which I felt completely immersed in a 3D world. Half-Life 2 is [...]

Happy Father’s Day! This is a continuation from my previous Best and worst anime moms post, we now turn to the dads in honor of Father’s Day. Like I mentioned before, anime dads tend to be a more diverse bunch than anime moms. So generally, they tend to be a more interesting bunch (although arguably [...]
If Haruhi Suzumiya were just a regular ole’ slice of life, would you watch it? If Haruhi Suzumiya were just a regular ole’ slice of life, would you watch it?
Billing this episode as the finale is sort of misleading. More of a marketing ploy than anything. So the next episode (the real finale) is disconnected to the main storyline. Big whoop. It’s not like K-ON! is a real tightly wound, serial show where you have to see the previous episode to figure out what’s [...]
