Canaan – 03: The Color of Rejection…

By Crusader | Published: July 21, 2009

That’s a new excuse… What a silly episode it was this week, though I suppose that Cosplay Santana will have a special place in the collective memories of those who saw and were overawed… Surely such an odd establishment is a rarity in this season. I suppose Hakko really is a lost little kitten, and I [...]

Shin Mazinger Z – 14-15: The Treachery of Tsubasa

By Crusader | Published: July 21, 2009

And they got along so well together… Poor Stroheim was quite a character (and quite heavily armed…), and certainly he seems to have once counted the most lovingly designed mecha with in Mazinger Z with their elegant lines. Even if this show is HOT BLOODED as the series of old, I like how even the good [...]

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 2- Continuity

By Calawain | Published: July 20, 2009

A rather unexciting episode compared to all of the action we saw last week. Still, it continues to look promising as long as we don’t have many long introduction episodes where not much happens like this one. Here’s to hoping there’s more Yumiko next week.

How Kawamori Trolled Me in IRL – Round 01: Morning Musume

By Crusader | Published: July 19, 2009

Sometimes life can imitate art retroactively….this is the sea story of one such incident. Well seeing as at the time of writing I have been in ordered into a short exile by my employer I might as well rant about all the bullshit I had to endure at AX from asinine panels to the underwhelming Masquerade [...]

Saki- Gonzo’s Redemption

By Calawain | Published: July 18, 2009

Gonzo may be going completely bankrupt in addition (and likely because of) to recently making mostly crappy shows, but they’ve scored one hit at least. Superficially, Saki is about mahjong, but it’s actually more about yuri, power levels, and not wearing panties…and is a surprisingly solid entertainment experience.

Canaan, Episode 2- The Canaan Identity

By Calawain | Published: July 13, 2009

With Crusader out doing his soldier’s duties for a week, I will be stepping in to comment on this week’s episode of Canaan. I hope this entry’s title reference isn’t lost on our otaku readers, but I was pleasantly surprised by the multiple action scenes this week. You’d think it was a Hollywood [...]

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 1- Loli Nopan

By Calawain | Published: July 12, 2009

This week is the first “real” episode of Yoku Wakaru, with some strange time travel shenanigans and the like. Although, the most amusing part is probably the early gratuitous bare loli ass shot that came out of nowhere. Thankfully it wasn’t censored to death like Princess Lover.
