In an industry filled with super-powered ordinary high school students saving the world, talking polar bears running cafes, and gigantic robots beating the crap out of each other, it’s nice to take a break and get lost in the gentle mood of A Bride’s Story: mongolian-influenced slice-of-life at its beautifully drawn best. A BRIDE’S STORY,...

A while back ago, I stumbled across Kai’s Anime Time Management project and thought “Hey, this looks like fun” so I decided to join the many who’ve participated in this project to tell you just how we (or I really since everyone is different) manage our time between the world outside and our lives on the...

With my understanding of mainstream. I perceive it as a show that has the potential (or already has) in becoming well-known and popular not just in Japan but around the world. Shows like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Soul Eater, D.Gray Man, Gintama, Fullmetal Alchemist (including Brotherhood), Sailor Moon, Ghost In the Shell, The Gundam series,...

The only thing that will get me to study for finals is divine intervention!! But how does divine intervention work anyway, assuming that God is real? Why doesn’t He come down and help us when we’re in need? I probably shouldn’t be asking these questions since this is an aniblog and not a theological/anti-religious site...

There are some series that take a while for you to used to; they grow on you gradually, they have rough starts, or maybe a certain character appears later on and grabs your interest. Then there are series like Pandora Hearts, where from the first few pages everything clicks. It’s hard to describe, but just...

I feel a little bad posting this consider now most of the posts on the front page seem to be me advertising stuff :p so time to rectify that with something a little more on topic. Doubt by Tonogai Toshiki is a manga I finished earlier this year and it was such a good one...

I think the two week jump break has mellowed me a little. Unlike Kabitzin and Divine, I actually thought Naruto this week was pretty decent and this is coming from the guy who is always so negative about Kishi recycling old sequences. Hell, I even thought Bleach was tolerable and that hasn’t happened in years....

To avoid confusion, I normally refer to soccer as fútbol to distinguish from American football, so I will do the same here. After all, Ultras is a manga with a passionate focus on fútbol and a beautiful Spanish flair ♥ It features five different stories: a pair of star-crossed lovers, a thief and an ex-con,...

For some insane reason, last week I ended up choosing to talk about Bleach’s lame-as excuse of a chapter instead of picking up on Naruto. Seriously, I have no clue why I continue to do this, but I’ll try my best to do both this time. The only reason I can think of for missing...

A sword stabbed Orihime, through the heart. Yet she doesn’t die. Story of Bleach so far, no one ever really dies in this supposed dog-eat-dog world. You could argue that for the story to get anywhere at this point, its main characters need to stay alive to show some semblance of development. But hasn’t this...
