K-ON!, episode 1 – Obviously KyoAnese for insanely moe

by RP April 4, 2009

I’m not going to bother writing a summary, since so many others have already done a mighty fine job of doing so (subculture, randomc, fukazenna!, Tenka Seiha et al.), so I’m just focusing on my general thoughts. But in case you’re really lazy, here’s what happened. Girl enters high school. Girl needs to join a [...]

Hinagiku no Gotoku for real!

by RP April 3, 2009

Just saw this on Tenka Seiha, but it’s Hinagiku no Gotoku for real! I had to watch this a couple times to believe my eyes. Did JC Staff see my previous Hinagiku post and decide to call my bet and raise me infinity? I’m overusing the word, but this is even more brilliant than the [...]

Maria+Holic, episode 12 (END) – Oh, the brilliance!

by RP April 3, 2009

So what’s the best way to end a show starring a nosebleeding, perverted yuri who enters an all-girl school to find the yuri love of her life (and ogle a school full of delicious Betties while she’s at it), and ends up rooming with the most beautiful girl on campus – except that she’s actually [...]

Just when I think I’m out…

by RP April 3, 2009

They pull me back in! From SC: TV stations have now not only confirmed that the “new” season of Haruhi will start with a rerun, but also that it will amount to 28 episodes, finally confirming the “new episodes mixed in with or ont the end of the old episodes” theory. What’s the saying? Fool [...]

Minami-ke Okaeri – Final Impressions

After the unfunny disaster that Okawari was (no thanks to that useless shota Fuyuki), I wasn’t sure what to expect from Okaeri. But after seeing the OP (freaking YouTube, always deleting videos and rendering old video links useless. Damn you! *ahem*), my high hopes were rekindled. And for the most part, I give Asread credit [...]

Minami-ke Okaeri, episode 13 (END) – Goodbye Minami sisters!

by RP April 1, 2009

The last episode of the season for Minami-ke Okaeri was an alternatively amusing and heartwarming affair. If it felt like one long, drawn-out goodbye, it’s probably because it was – in a good way though – because OVAs notwithstanding, I’d be very surprised if we saw another season of MK in the future.

Kurokami: Black God, episode 11 – Development, whoa

by RP March 30, 2009
kurokami1

This was the first solid episode of Kurokami in a very long time. Coincidentally, there was no action here, and the writers simply used the time to flesh out the relationship between Keita and the konbini voyeur. You’d think it’d be a recipe for boredom, but the story was surprisingly engaging, not overly outlandish, and [...]

Kurokami: Black God, episode 10 – Goodbye evil characters

by RP March 28, 2009
kurokami1

I’ve been admittedly lax in my posting about Kurokami. I figure there’s only so much interest in me writing about how crappy the show is week to week. Fortunately, episode 11 was actually a pretty good episode, so my post might be better than my recent Kurokami posts have been. Unfortunately, this post is about [...]

Another week, another handful of webisodes of Haruhi-chan and Nyoron Churuy-san. Wait- have I said this before? Regardless, I’m glad they seem to have found a schedule to stick to. Nyoron Churuya-san #7
