Minami-ke Okaeri, episode 12 – What we’ve been missing out on

by RP March 26, 2009

Others have already written much on the drastic difference in animation quality from the first half of the episode, compared to the second half. But I had to see it for myself to believe it. And yeah, it’s quite stunning actually. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like the animation in the first half is [...]

Maria+Holic, episode 11 – Oh Mariya, how I love thee

by RP March 24, 2009

Woohoo for ggcaust continuing to sub the show. I think I read that it’s most of the gg TL team continuing, so you got the same style and quality. Slightly later release date, but that’s a tradeoff I can live with. On the plus side, there was a lot more Mariya in this ep. I’m [...]

To Aru Majutsu no Index – Finally done!

by RP March 23, 2009

It was a long grinding slog, but finally, mercifully, thankfully TAMNI is done! At least season 1 that is. The final episode wasn’t bad, but was pretty much a microcosm of everything good and bad with the show.

The HQ versions are back if anyone’s interested. Otherwise, it was your Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san antics as usual. Nyoron Churuya-san #6

Because you all care so much… (I’m not really drunk, my typing would be much worse, although this is proofreading free so forgive any grammatical/spelling errors )

Minami-ke Okaeri, episode 11 – A lot of Kana love

by RP March 20, 2009

I wish… asread could have spent the time and money to make the design and animation even merely average. I’ve gotten used to the terrible quality of the animation. But every now and then I can’t help but cringe at an elongated chin, or a malformed head or a criminally thin body limb. Even Mako-chan [...]

Kurokami: Black God, episode 9 – The best is yet to come…

by RP March 18, 2009

Because they’re either tipping off the “final battle” way too early, or this show isn’t really 24 episodes (hooray!). If that were really the case, it would be the best thing to happen to the show since the promising first episode.

Minami-ke Okaeri, episode 10 – Someone’s got a crush

by RP March 16, 2009

If you were to do a mental examination of all the characters on this show, I think it’d be hard to figure out who’s most messed up in the head. In season 1, Kana was out there, but now you could probably consider her to be one of the most sanest characters on the show. [...]

Maria+Holic, episode 10 – The Matsurika flag has been triggered

by RP March 15, 2009

GG is apparently taking a break for a while. As a thank you gift, they’ve left us with two versions of the latest episode of Maria+Holic. One in which Mariya plays a reverse trap 50-year old genius doctor with a vicodin addiction, and another in which Mariya is the moe, fanservice-friendly trap that we can’t [...]

Melancholy of Haruhi-chan #9 and 10 and Nyoron Churuya-san #5

Kadokawa, pumping out the Haruhi-chan and Churuya-san webcasts again. I know they’re not putting a lot of effort into the production values, and I am very grateful that they release subbed versions with the original Japanese language versions, but I do wish they’d take just a little bit of effort to make sure everything’s up [...]
