First Impressions: Miracle Train and Nyan Koi

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: October 4, 2009

Two more first episodes down, but unfortunately I’m not much more excited for the new shows this season than I was before. Miracle Train isn’t quite the comedy I had figured it would be, but it’ll probably sell to fangirls like pocky to con-goers. Nyan Koi on the other hand could have some potential if [...]

First Impressions: Seitokai no Ichizon

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: October 4, 2009

No plot, lots of references. That’s the short of it. But who needs plot when you have, at my count, 7 references, 8 meta-jokes, and 3 self-depreciations before the OP?

MS IGLOO 2 – 3: The only good Zeke is a dead Zeke and the only thing better than that is a dead Zeke you use to grease the treads of RTX-440

By Crusader | Published: August 30, 2009

Not so fun now is it Zeke? Now the Feddies got GMs you are so FUCKED. So I was stuck in Virginia until Saturday for another C-School in the same ratty old barracks. At least though I finally got a hold of episode 3 of IGLOO 2 after multiple tries on a slow connection. While IGLOO [...]

Heavy Recon: Aoi Hana – 01, Mazinger Z – 13, Sora no Manimani – 01, and Umi Monogatari – 02
