To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 12-16: Of Big Fights and Beaches

By Crusader | Published: January 24, 2010

Bring it down Biribiri. It’s been a while since my last Railgun post, most of it was because I was trying to over come my disappointment with Kuroko over her un-lady like behavior in 13 and dismay that Mii was in love with a dude… The BIG FIGHT with the hyper ugly baby thing was satisfying [...]

Durarara!! Episode 3 – Showdown in Ikebukuro

By Shokkeru | Published: January 23, 2010

An episode where a lot of things happen but nothing really happens at all. I’m feeling quite torn with my impressions of this episode. I was bored with the first half of it with all the minor things that happen that do not seem to have much relevance to anything. But, the second half was a [...]

2009 Honor Roll Part I: The Strategists, The Ruthless, and The Heroes

By Crusader | Published: January 19, 2010

Unlike that honor these do not require a beheading… With the passing of 2009 we thought that it was time to recognize those who showed individual competence during the course of the year.

Sora no Woto 03: Quinine is a Helluva Drug

By Crusader | Published: January 18, 2010
