Canaan, Episode 4- I’d Rather Watch Taxi Driver

By Calawain | Published: July 31, 2009

I’m covering for Crusader again, and I was supposed to do this much earlier in the week, but it ran into my preparations for the Bar Exam. My apologies. Well anyways, this show is getting a triple set of movies, which is hilarious for a 13 episode show. 13 episodes is somewhere [...]

Sora no Manimani Episode 03 – My God, It’s Full of (Projected) Stars.

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: July 29, 2009

(Whew, after rushing through making posts for 1-3, I’m finally caught up to current, just in time for the next raw to come out.) As other students are just becoming noticed, Saku plans to ride out the rush of introductions avoiding attention and burying his nose in books. Instead we get some big time double [...]

Sora no Manimani Episode 02 – Red Dwarfs and Other Celestial Objects

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: July 29, 2009

(Posts are coming in kind of rapid succession, but once I’m caught up to the current episode I promise to stop monopolizing the front page. Ep 03 post sometime late today or tomorrow.) We find the members of the Astronomy Club in despair as their prospects of finding the fifth member necessary to be officially [...]

Sora no Manimani Episode 01 – For it is written in the stars.

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: July 28, 2009

Sora no Manimani: a series combining some real astronomy with a romantic comedy story that reminds me a bit of Nodame Cantabile. Being enamored of space and astronomy for as long as I can remember (a Golden Book about the planets was one of my favorite books when I was 3 or 4 years [...]

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 3- Pantsu Patrol

By Calawain | Published: July 26, 2009

What’s unfortunate about watching this on Crunchyroll is that I can’t really do screenshots to do a blog post. However, that’s not to say that I don’t really enjoy being able to watch it simulcast along with several other shows for rather cheap (and the encoding on the version I found to download this [...]

Umi Monogatari – 03: The Most Diligent Loli

By Crusader | Published: July 23, 2009

Go right ahead ladies… While it seems that Umi Monogatari has been consigned to the dust bin by many I still find the yurilicious subtext to be very enjoyable. Even if it is slow, it does lend itself wonderfully as an alternate universe of Canaan where Canaan (born here as Kanon) was born to a boring [...]
