March 2009 Anime
Casshern Sins: I’m actually starting to enjoy it as it nears the end. Kind of feels pointless, though. Clannad ~After Story~: It’s kind of gotten to the point where I really don’t care, but it’s not that bad. Still very pretty. Jigoku Shoujo Mistuganae: Episodes alternate between being very...
Comic Site Rant: BREAK+YOUR+DESTINY
Original Post What you were going to see here was a comic about Haruhi getting a second season, but we all know how that turned out. After that, I was going to do some angry comic about how Newtype played us all for fools once again, then I realized...
February Anime
Casshern Sins: After thirteen episodes of philosophical musings on what it means to live and die, the show has finally moved on to its plot-centric portion, and as such has become slightly better. I am however still mostly watching this for the background artwork, and the short but sweet...
The Fierce War of 2008: Future War 2009
With both the years 2007 and 2008 behind us, it’s time to look ahead to the glorious year of 2009! Well, not really, but there are a number of shows that have come out of 2008 incomplete, so here’s a rundown of the ones I’m watching....
The Fierce War of 2008: Dark Shadows Of The Past! The Dangerous Year That Was… 2007!!
2007 sure feels like a long time ago, but not long enough for me to have forgotten about some of the great shows that came out of it. The battle of 2007 has already been covered on this blog, so why am I writing about it again? As per...
January 09 Anime
Hey hey hey sup 09 what’s happenin bro Current Casshern Sins: Sins carries itself on art direction more than anything else, but the light musings on what it means to live are interesting. Casshern has also stopped being a pussy, kind of. Clannad ~After Story~: I have no idea...
Sometimes I fail to understand certain otaku
Before I get underway, I’d like to note that I have very little idea as to what I’m talking about. My contact with Real Japanese Otaku is limited only to this one guy I talked to when I was 13, and this random girl on Mixi who is more...
The annoying inconsistency of Clannad: MOVIE II, SOLDIERS OF SORROW
Two things: The only way the Clannad game can be better than the anime is if half of the arcs are completely different. For example, in the game Yukine would be suffering from bone cancer, and the only way to cure her would be by taking out her skeleton,...
The annoying inconsistency of Clannad
Clannad is one of the most frustrating shows in existence. I’m just going to put that out there to begin with. Across the vast spectrum of visual novel fans, I imagine two distinct factions of people. Type-Moon fans and Key fans. Two sides, hungry for blood. The blood of...
December 2008 anime and manga
Current Casshern Sins: Great art direction but the writing is so boring. I’m pretty sure Casshern says JUST WHAT AM I in every fucking episode. ChäoS;HEAd: It’s always super special! I like this one a lot. Clannad ~After Story~: Hit and miss. Needs more Mei and/or baseball episodes. ef...
