Character profiles, the Wild Wild West of MAL

by RP March 13, 2009
wildwildwest

I’m a huge fan of MyAnimeList (a.k.a. MAL). I find it to be a tremendous resource in ways ANN isn’t (although an unholy alliance between the two would be perfection). Before I start watching a series, I’ll check out the fansub list to see which groups to check out and which ones to avoid. Sometimes [...]

Hinagiku no Gotoku!

by RP March 11, 2009

Hayate no Gotoku episodes are too hit or miss for me to think about writing about regularly. Plus, assuming it’s 52 episodes again, a good 80% of them will probably be filler. I remember when season 1 started off, I gave it an 8. Then I dropped it down to a 5 during one long [...]

Higurashi’s back, bitches!

by RP March 9, 2009

Higurashi’s famed for its lighthearted, slice of life starts and quick descents into madness and bloodshed. But this was admittedly a throwaway ep. There was no hint of danger to come. It was just a fun, fan-service filled episode, reintroducing the whole cast within a normal universe.

…and in the water, and on the walls, and on the ground, and ALL OVER the Virgin Mary Statue. Good God, what have we done?

Melancholy of Haruhi-chan #7 and 8 and Nyoron Churuya-san #4

Churuya-san is back in action after a long respite, and we get two doses of Haruhi-chan. Kadokawa sure likes to pump these episodes out all at once. Links here, here and here. Churuya-san #4

The Spring 2009 Season – A selfish look ahead

by RP March 6, 2009

Sea Slugs! has a really nice summary of the major Spring 2009 shows debuting. So does Bokutachi. And if you do a google search, you’ll find a handful of other blogs that have done really nice write ups as well. And if you’re really interested about everything that’s playing, Metanorn has an image with all [...]

Minami-ke Okaeri, episode 9 – Bakayaro

by RP March 4, 2009
okaeri1

Chiaki’s shrew-like tongue is sharp as ever with Bakayaro’s flying left and right. After a good stretch of hilarious episodes, this ep was pretty average. The odd timing for a Christmas episode didn’t help either, although I still got a chuckle out of the Hosaka hallucination. Part 1: Brought to you by the orange growers [...]

Maria+holic, episode 8 – It’s a cosplay party!

by RP March 1, 2009
mariaholic1

Remember what was supposed to happen from last week? I don’t either, and neither does Maria+Holic (something about Kanako’s birthday gift to Yuzuru?). But we’re moving onto bigger and better things. It’s the Virgin Mary Festival time, which to Kanako means all the hot young nubile girls get dressed up in angel gear and go [...]

Kurokami: Black God, episodes 7 and 8 – A glimmer of hope

by RP February 28, 2009

After a handful of episodes, a show has pretty much established what it is. If you jump to watch it the moment it’s released, it’s probably a 9-10. If you don’t mind waiting a day or two, it’s probably an 8. If you don’t mind waiting a few days to a week, it’s probably a [...]
