The latest episode of Kurokami gets off to a pretty amusing start, with Kuro munching on uncooked ramen and giving Keita a peep show, as Akane walks in. Kuro realizing what’s up, gives Akane a little something something to stoke her flame with a peep show of her own.

Kurokami: Black God, episode 2

I know Sunrise is producing this, but I swear I’m watching a JC Staff show. Anyway, this episode picks up where the last one left off. As Keita mourns Mayu’s death, the eerie similarity to his mom’s death causes him to get more obsessed about doppeliners. Which causes everyone to worry about him, from his [...]

Maria+Holic, episode 3 – Alaria what?

by RP January 24, 2009

Sadly, this ep was low on Mariya and Matsurika time, but it was still pretty good. Mariya’s double-edge kindness. A new bag for Kanako… with monsters.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou – A dance game I’d get

by RP January 22, 2009

I’ve never played a dance rhythm game, nor do I have any desire to do so…. BUT… if they ever released the new Haruhi dance game, I’d totally get it. Just for the hell of it. And when no one was looking, I might even play it. Although it’d be cooler if they made use [...]

Kurokami: Black God, episode 1

by RP January 20, 2009

I know nothing about the manga, except that it was written and drawn by a couple Korean guys. Judging by the reactions on the MAL forums, it seemed like the manga fans were pissed, because Sunrise took some liberties in straying from the manga storyline. It’s not surprising. Rarely does the adaption live up to [...]

New Gundam 00 ED – Trust You

by RP January 19, 2009

This is bound to make it back in a favorites post at some point in the future, but I really like the new ED. It’s called Trust You by Yuna Ito. The song’s got a simultaneously somber, yet hopeful sound, which fits the show really well (plus no engrish!). And the producers do another great [...]

Haruhi Suzumiya: Anime’s Duke Nukem Forever?

by RP January 18, 2009

When the Haruhi spinoff is still nonexistent and in doubt for 2009, what does that mean for the real Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya season 2? I mean, some sources say season 2 is due, whatever that’s supposed to mean. But heck, I can make stuff up too. I have some legit sources that tell me [...]

Hyakko – It’s pretty good

by RP January 18, 2009

I know the “It’s pretty good” line isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by it. Hyakko was one of the fall shows that I put on hold, because I had too much on my plate and it seemed like your pretty standard, high-school slice of life centered around a few girls.

Maria+Holic, episode 2 – Kanako’s insanity

by RP January 16, 2009

Matsurika. Speaks nothing but the truth. Hoo, the insanity continues, as most of this episode focuses on Kanako’s internal monologue, with Mariya and a narrator making a couple uninvited, but hilarious appearances.
