Minami-ke Okaeri, episode 8 – Ode to the forgotten

by RP February 27, 2009

If the writers decided to take the few characters they’ve pretty much ignored for the past 2-and-a-half seasons and turn them into completely irresistible moeblobs for one episode, what would you say? YES! Okawari! Part 1: Atsuko and Yoshino’s Weakness Appeal

What’s the deal with Chrono Trigger?

by RP February 26, 2009

I hope I don’t invite the wrath of Chrono Trigger fanboys, but having heard so many great things about Chrono Trigger and missing out on it during its Super Nintendo glory days, I thought I’d give the DS version a shot (I was a Sega Genesis fanboy in those days, building my chops on games [...]

I’m an unabashed noob, so my list is short, but what the hell. I’ll keep the party going with my terrible, terrible haikus. From Martin: (I don’t know Martin, but since everyone’s calling him Martin, I assume that’s his name ) Here’s my attempt at irony: a recently-established blog that somehow tries to draw attention [...]

No Churuya-san this time around. It can’t possibly be over yet, can it? Also, no Haruhi season 2 announcement either, so I guess that means my words are not omnipotent.

Kurokami is schizophrenic. It’s all over the place. feel like the writers are trying very hard, but failing miserably at keeping the story cohesive and sensible.

It’s been a tough few months for Gonzo. First they announced that they were reducing their anime output from 8 to 4 shows a year. Then they were rumored to be cutting up to 50 jobs – and ended up announcing that they were cutting a 100. Then they announced that they were dissolving Gonzo… [...]

Melancholy of Haruhi-chan and Nyoron Churuya-san #3

I have no idea what the scheduled release dates are for these webcasts, but I guess they’re not weekly. Actually, I’m not even sure how many webisodes there are supposed to be. I’ve been assuming 12-13. But since it’s Haruhi, who knows. Kadokawa might run a handful of episodes. And then they might air a [...]

Friends don’t let friends watch Rosario + Vampire

by RP February 20, 2009

I’ve mentioned this before. I don’t know why decided to pick up R+V 2, considering how bad the first one was. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment. And not surprisingly, the second was just as terrible. I’m pretty sure I lost several IQ points over the last couple days trying to finish it and [...]
