Going into the last episode of Death Note, i knew it was going to be something i’ll never forget, especially after how Madhouse handled last weeks episode. They’ve also added new material into the series when needed, improvement so to say — with that in mind, i knew Madhouse could play around with the last [...]

Bokurano Alternative
Posted in Bokurano, Light Novel, News on June 24, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Don’t you just love when one of your favourite mangas becomes a light novel, and you then find out its a alternate telling of the story? Well, its happened with a personal favourite of mine, Bokurano.
The novel is written by Renji Ohki, and Kitoh Mohiro (creator of the original manga) doing the character designs. At [...]
Rose of Versailles: Series Review
Posted in Reviews, Rose of Versailles on June 22, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I decided, against my better judgement, at the start of this season to marathon Rose of Versailles, which I had always wanted to watch, but had never managed to get past episode ten of due to time constraints. Well, I picked it back up from episode one, and almost immediately got hooked, and ended up [...]
Death Note – 36, Madhouse style
Posted in Death Note on June 20, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Madhouse don’t know how to fail, especially when it comes to that pen with action series, Death Note.
Episode 36 was out of control with colors flying around the place. We’ve seen this style from Madhouse since the first episode, though they went full-force this time around. With it being the last episode of the series [...]
Tsubasa Chronicle: Tokyo Revelations
Posted in CLAMP, News, Tsubasa Chronicle on June 15, 2007 | 7 Comments »
When CLAMP canceled Bee Train from working on the third and final season of Tsbuasa Chronicle, it was hard to judge that as a bad decision. Its true that the second season went down in quality after the first (Clamp were around for the making of first, though left Bee Train alone for the second), [...]
Darker Than BLACK-Kuro no Keiyakusha: Episode 1-8 Review
Posted in Darker Than BLACK, Reviews on June 13, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Darker Than BLACK is the next series in the late night MBS/TBS block, following Code Geass: Lelouch of The Rebellion, and done by the famous Studio BONES, known for such works as Fullmetal Alchemist, Eureka Seven, and Rahxephon. Despite the fact that they are two completely different series, I wasn’t exactly sure how well it [...]
Pillow talk
Posted in Ikkitousen, Merchandise, NHK ni Youkoso! on June 13, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Okay, so i’m about to preorder two hug pillows — probably the only two this year (depending on who else goes on sale).
First we have the eye-patching wearing Ryoumou, from the awesome fighting/half naked female battle series, Ikkitousen.
If you know me, then you’d know i’d rather have Kanu on that pillow, though she is [...]
A winning Taco theme

El Cazador de la Bruja is apart of my Spring Season watch, and i’ve been enjoying it in its own little way. When i first heard about the show, i wasn’t that amazed, though i knew i’d end up watching it, mainly for being apart of Bee Train’s “girls-with-guns” trilogy. 10 episodes in, and i’d [...]
Thoughts on the Modern Anime Character Aesthetic
Posted in Uncategorized on June 8, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Pick any anime that’s come out this year and take a good look at its characters. Now compare them to the character designs in, say, the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross. Do they look significantly different? There is little doubt that, unless it was intentionally meant to harken back to the 80’s, [...]
UNINSTALL those wavering feelings about Bokurano
Posted in Bokurano on June 5, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Okay. So pretty much everyone I’ve talked to who hasn’t seen Bokurano yet, and a few who have, all seem to have similar complaints about it: “it seems too sad for me” or “it just looks depressing.” Well, okay, I say, that’s fair and reasonable.
But.
See, I had the same hangups going on. When Shadow [...]
