Shin Mazinger Z – 26(Plus Final Thoughts): In the Name of Shining Zeus FUCK YEAH SEQUEL

By Crusader | Published: October 21, 2009

Even the nameless detectives cannot die. It’s been too long since my last Mazinger Z post and while the summary was easy enough I am still at a loss for words to properly gush over just how EPIC it was and how much it moved me as a mecha fan. In any case it seems that [...]

Inuyasha Kanketsuhen Episodes 01-02 – Hello Old Friends

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: October 20, 2009

Knowing that Inuyasha would finally be finished after so many episodes and filler had really gotten me excited. It was one of the first anime that I watched, during the time of Midnight Run/early Adult Swim back in late middle school and high school. And the nostalgic satisfaction is definitely there. While some annoying fans [...]

Kimi ni Todoke 01-02: A Most Misunderstood Lady

By Crusader | Published: October 19, 2009

This is the story of a girl… Despite the lack of my kind of mecha it seems that I get a very promising shoujo series this season. Sawako is just darling as a little generator of fear forcing cowards to flee for the hills at a mere glance. Unfortunately she’d rather make friends with these cowardly [...]

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun – 03: Magical Seductress Saten

By Crusader | Published: October 18, 2009

Wait what was you name again? I forget if you are even worth remembering. This week it was mostly about Saten and Uiharu after last week’s intense focus on Kuroko and Mikoto. To be sure there was some hint of plot with the data manipulation but I still look forward to having good times with Kuroko [...]

Kampfer – 03: Natsuru-chan’s First Day

By Crusader | Published: October 17, 2009

And such a wonderfully funny tale this is. Although I am still stuck in the Socialist Worker’s Paradise, Kampfer is continuing to deliver my regular dose of yuri goodness. So far this was one of the funniest episodes thus far for those of us who watch yuri shows with monastic devotion. They just crammed in the [...]

SDF Macross Episodes 17 and 18 – It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times.

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: October 15, 2009

Forgive the delay, I had to spend the last day and a half immersed in an ethnic conflict paper before I could move on to intergalactic conflict. But this week’s episodes were worth the wait. First up we have another recap, but this time done more interestingly and with an actual impact on the larger [...]

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun – 02: Love Will Never Die

By Crusader | Published: October 14, 2009

I could get use to a monthly anniversary like this… So Railgun is chugging along nicely though I must confess I do not watch this show to find the meaning of life or some other such nonsense. It will be sometime before I can finish assessing and admiring Alphard onee-sama’s handiwork, so a dose of yuri [...]
