I’m still enjoying the series, but the charm of the first two episodes appears to be gone. Instead, Hanasaku Iroha seems to going down the path of a typical slice-of-life/drama series, although one with gorgeous art. On the plus side, the story also continues to move forward at a decent rate, helping to keep the whole thing interesting.
Hanasaku Iroha 03
About two fairly heavy episodes, the third installment of Hanasaku Iroha gives us a more light-hearted and typical for the slice of life genre episode. As I really didn’t want to see anything bad of a sexual nature happen to Ohana, and that would have been the other way for things to go, I didn’t mind the way the episode went, even if it was a rather cliched type of episode.

But wait, you may be saying, School Days was a deconstruction?
Perhaps not intentionally, good reader, but I definitely think that one can interpret School Days as a deconstruction of harem anime, and here in this blog post, I will explain why.
Maria Holic Alive! First Impression
If there was a time to believe in the Virgin Mary, this would be it.
Persona 4 jumping to the top of “must see” lists
I know I’m late to the bus here, as far as P4 anime news is concerned, but I can’t wait to see this animated. Beyond the fact that it was a fantastic game with a great involving story (which I wrote about before), it’s looking like a solid cast and crew is forming for it.

Toriko – First Impressions

What would I give to live in a world where everything is about food? Maybe, everything I have. On second thought, no. I don’t want Kyubey appearing and offering to grant me that wish. But you get the point. I would love to live in the world of Toriko.
