I’ll come out in say it–the second season of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu isn’t that great. Well, half of it is great. The other half isn’t so much. The good half is the part that plays on the strengths of season 1–that being the romance between Yuuto and Haruka....

The second season of that Natsu no Arashi cartoon concluded a little while ago, and it had a pretty awesome last episode! In retrospect, the whole show was pretty good, but what held it back was a smattering of okay to downright dumb episodes in the middle. Something that...

These are more “impressions” as opposed to a formal “review”. Why? Reviews have plot summaries, and since I have to go on Wikipedia to remember all of the different factions in DTB, I’m not going to do one! In the far off year of 2007 Darker Than Black struck...

Even though I was working on compiling some impressions about Darker Than Black 2, I felt a better way to launch this blog into the new decade was to review something a bit more classy. And of course, there is no series that embodies that adjective more than Sora...

No, really, they do. That’s part of the reason I could in some ways relate to the main guy in Nyan Koi!. The similarities end there, however. But yes, aside from making an attempt to get back on the blogging horse, why am I writing about Nyan Koi!? Well,...

To Aru Majutsu no Index was a show that inspired great feelings of disappointment in me. It did not set a new high for the amount of disappointment derived from a show, but it hit pretty annoying levels of This Could Be Way Better. Despite having a cast of...

Some weird things have happened to the sequels for both Natsu no Arashi and Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. It’s almost as if they’re… not as good. Which is strange, since I’d say they both started off one-upping their originals. What happened!? I hate writing negatively about things so often,...

Would have preferred Yebisu beer but couldn’t find any. It’s a cheesecake because Misato promises service at the end of each episode....
