BlueEx (5)

Besides my normal season review this week. I’ll be offering some added mid season reflection as an added bonus. Praise Sata–err… the lord… er, whatever. We’ve finally reached the Mid-season mark for Blue Exorcist! Hurray! Anyway, Let’s see how our young Exwires fared for this week’s episode.

SacredSeven201

It’s pretty well established that Sacred Seven is on the fence as far as taking itself too seriously goes. On one hand, you have heartfelt drama and a dark past that makes Alma thinking he’s the equivalent of the Hulk more believable. On the other, you have a maid combat force and a girl jumping [...]

More than the bundle of cute that is Rin, Usagi Drop is really about Daikichi and the changes he makes to his life after unexpectedly picking up a child.

Oh Doki. I love you, but your fansubbing for this show has been sporadic. This time two episodes were release within days of each other, with a promise of subs being released on Monday. This in the end is good news. It took me a bit to get to them as for Fourth of July [...]

What? Is this the right anime?

Note to self, look at how long the episode is before deciding to watch it.

After watching KamiMemo – which was equivalent to watching Charlie Sheen just puke nonsense after nonsense non-stop just desperately grasping to find some snappy and clever lines along the way – Usagi Drop was like watching a simple, understated silent movie. The dialogue was sparse. The score was perfectly whimsical and non-obstrusive. And when characters [...]

SacredSeven04

Hello, here be Lemmi writing his first initial impressions post for Rabbit Poets, and here’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for; the spiritual successor to Code Geass. Oh sure, they play it off as an entirely different series, but it has all the Code Geass trademarks: Dichromatic eyes, ninja maids, roller skating mechs, and [...]

ano-hana-01

Anohana has ended up as a superbly sparkling success, as it is both commercially soaring, and critically acclaimed. And yet, as good as Anohana was, I have to admit a slight degree of surprise over this. Which is why I spent some time puzzling over just what made Anohana become received so well by domestic [...]

In episode of Blue Exorcist, Rin, Renzo and Izumo are witnessing all the spoils of summer. Though, as we soon find out, it’s no fun in the sun for these young esquires in training.   And we find them at the beach…selling fried squid.  Tell me, how is this suppose to be a mission? This [...]
