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.

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.

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Maho, Episode 00- Hot Blooded Washbins

By Calawain | Published: July 5, 2009

This episode is technically episode 00, a prequel of sorts one supposes. Unfortunately the only raws available were from a weak online streaming, so the video quality was a bit lacking. However, it is slated to be broadcast next week so there should be some decent quality then.

Suzumiya Haruhi 2, Episode 14- And Various Things Happened

By Calawain | Published: July 3, 2009

We got some new swimsuits and summer outfits, and then same stuff happened as before. I think this was the first time I’ve ever been bored watching an episode of Haruhi. Not even joking, I’m completely out of interesting things to say about the same events we’ve experienced multiple times already…

Hayate no Gotoku 2, Episode 13- The Heady Feeling of Freedom

By Calawain | Published: June 29, 2009

I’ve been waiting quite a long time for them to animate the scenes shown in this episode, and I will say I was quite pleased with the results. I still don’t plan on blogging this regularly, but as I said in the last season preview, I did mention the possibility of making some noise [...]
