Wow, I actually really liked this episode....

I am always welcome for a -monogatari fix. I can never get enough of SHAFT’s most famous work (or at least, second to Madoka), and any announcement of a new adaptation of Nisio Isin’s light novels makes me jump for joy. Come to think of it, season two of Bakemonogatari (my personal favorite from all the anime adaptations...

Yippy//  Welcome back folks, to Chihayafuru Season 2! This week, we have the sensational conclusion to the Tokyo Regional Karuta High School Tournament! With thrills and spills along with *passion*, this is definitely one of the best episodes in Chihayafuru I’ve seen yet! With Chihaya’s stunning move in the last episode, Team Misuzawa mounts a...

Right After the Credits This episode was a fun if not inane...

Well, it was an improvement over last week. I’ll give it that. Considering that we encountered her father a couple of episodes ago, it was only a matter of time until the female half of the parental unit appeared.Sasami-san@Ganbaranai shows that despite its eccentric (and inconsistent nature), it is unafraid to conform to standard anime tropes....

Fresh Romance within Little Seedlings Usually, you’d have the ‘cute-girl-falling-in-love-with-the-cool-guy’ trope in Japanese Animation. We see it in Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Lovely Complex, Kimi ni Todoke, Sukitte Ii na yo, Kami-sama Hajimemashita and many other series revolving around romance. Although not limited to Tamako Market, the romance between Anko and Yuzuki. We all totally thought...

As I’ve watched the show so far, there has been this little imp on my shoulder nudging me here and there asking me a question. Doesn’t it seem like the main conflict of the series has very little to do with Makishima himself? I’m not going to bother loafing on the subject of just what...
