Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. I really enjoyed the first 20 minutes of this episode. And being with Nizuma, Nakai and Fukuda has been a tremendous great influence on Mashiro. But just when things were lining up well, and Mashiro was getting back in my good graces, the shit went completely off the rails again. This is [...]
To some degree, I feel like JC Staff is still holding back Yumekui Merry in some ways (maybe the shittastic animation quality of this episode), but I give director Shigeyasu Yamauchi a lot of credit for successfully transitioning the show from typical JC Staff fantasy/monster-of-the-week fare to a much more darker show that explores the [...]
Well, it took until a season and a half, but Bakuman finally gives a for real, I shit you not episode that’s almost completely romance-free and thus funny and interesting the whole way through. For those that have hung on for the ride, this is your reward.

It’s been a while since I’ve written about a show I liked. I feel rejuvenated. Although ironically, I could totally use a good night’s sleep.
I really liked the first 8 minutes of the episode, then Miho showed up and… I’m just going to forget about the last half of the episode. Ok, she wasn’t awful, but soooo boring. I feel like the Starbust zombie. Boring. Miho is boring me to death, and I’m already dead. She’s boring me back [...]
After debating on whether to pick up a show or not in the Winter season, I decided to go ahead and blog Yumekui Merry after seeing it build on a pretty solid first episode. It laid the groundwork with an interesting setting and done a surprisingly good job of creating depth and auras of mystery [...]
