Sora no Manimani Episode 10 – Death Letter

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: September 20, 2009

After a little slowdown in the subs we have episode 10, a very character and drama centric episode. The students are busy with exams after a field trip (which I’m guessing was in the manga but left out of the anime), and once back in school Mihoshi and Souma-sensei are arranging what Hime and Edogawa [...]

HOLY FUCK that shit does grow on trees…so to speak. We finally get to the long awaited and highly anticipated BIG FIGHT and so far things look pretty bad for Mazinger Z as Kouji is unable to keep up with the best team that Dr. Hell has put together. Still while Kouji struggles it seems that [...]

Editorial: Empires in Anime

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: September 18, 2009

Empires in anime are a fairly common phenomenon, especially in science fiction series. Looking at Japan’s history with being an empire and encountering others, here’s a rather too long post about how I see history perhaps influencing anime in the portrayal of different kinds of empires.

The Sighs of Haruhi Suzumiya V (END?)- And We All Fall Down (In Despair)

By Calawain | Published: September 12, 2009

Let’s all pray for Disappearance, for Yuki’s sake. Surprisingly enough, the fifth episode of Sighs was actually pretty good, and got us back to the actual story and intrigue that makes this show fun to watch. Too bad we couldn’t have seen this a couple of months ago, but alas that’s a rant for another [...]

Shin Mazinger Z – 23: Pushed it to the Limit…past the point of no return

By Crusader | Published: September 12, 2009

What is wrong has nothing to do with glorious violence and unfettered BIG BANG PUNCHING… While there was a fight in this episode it wasn’t the BIG FIGHT, still it was one of the funniest episodes.
