Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 4- Service Break

By Calawain | Published: August 2, 2009

A bit light on plot this week (i.e. close to none at all), but hey, it only took 4 episodes to get to the swimsuit episode. I like my light hearted fanservice comedies, so this all felt very familiar, and was a fun episode to watch. Reminded me a lot of episode 00, [...]

Canaan, Episode 4- I’d Rather Watch Taxi Driver

By Calawain | Published: July 31, 2009

I’m covering for Crusader again, and I was supposed to do this much earlier in the week, but it ran into my preparations for the Bar Exam. My apologies. Well anyways, this show is getting a triple set of movies, which is hilarious for a 13 episode show. 13 episodes is somewhere [...]

Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou, Episode 3- Pantsu Patrol

By Calawain | Published: July 26, 2009

What’s unfortunate about watching this on Crunchyroll is that I can’t really do screenshots to do a blog post. However, that’s not to say that I don’t really enjoy being able to watch it simulcast along with several other shows for rather cheap (and the encoding on the version I found to download this [...]

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.
