Remember how I praised the show for being efficient in displaying violence, at the same time playing safe to its intended demographic? The show didn’t have much offered violence in that level until now. The fight between Castro and Hisoka may had been one of the closest moment of violence in the series. In the [...]

Rekindling SKET Dan: Greatest Strength is Gintama’s Weakness
15/05/2012 – 15:02
Long ago if you have followed through our blogs, I was doing the episode blogging for SKET dan. That was almost a year ago since it aired. I stopped around at episode 14 and never went from there, due to the fansub I was going for discontinued the project. Roughly short a year later, I [...]
Showa Monogatari 6: Worst Children Day Ever
09/05/2012 – 18:24
Although the show didn’t show much what’s Children’s day is. But it rather goes in the lines of “trusting” someone and facing responsibility of sorts. Fathers can be jerks. Kohei’s father can be considered immature or inconsistent, simplistic can be another point. Somehow too trusting but at the same time can be insensitive to other [...]
Hunter x Hunter 30: Fierce and Ferocious
06/05/2012 – 19:57
Gon gets a slap in the face. Its like saying “its a sunny today” in a bright sunny day if I told you that we are building up to Hisoka. That’s the point we have here anyway. Most of the stuff that happened is just the result of what I said in the previous episode. Gon [...]
Hunter X Hunter 29 – Awakening and Potential
02/05/2012 – 11:30
Well it could be counted as one of those “training arc” episodes of Hunter, but for shounen standards, it’s a bit quicker than normal. It’s nice that they didn’t fuzz further on the terminologies and just get on to learning Ten just to get pass Hisoka. Plus we get to see Gon being stubborn as usual with [...]
Hunter X Hunter 28: Nen and Nen
23/04/2012 – 12:48
Your landlord will have a word with you. Among all the shows I watch that deals with super powers, nen is one of those powers that doesn’t just there for the sake of “levelling up”. The complexities and the technical behind it is fascinating that you could probably write a text-book detailing it. It’s not as simple as [...]
Hunter X Hunter 27: Arrival at the Arena
16/04/2012 – 12:57
I just felt that the Anime became 10 times more awesome. We’re finally starting the Heavens arc and oh boy I feel pumped out here. I like that they push pacing quicker and made the necessary character introductions. Despite that, I don’t really see anything that diminishes its quality on it. I like Killua being [...]
Showa Monogatari 5: Catch and Allowance
09/04/2012 – 12:13
Finally, we get to see another episode of this series that most of the people had forgotten. I don’t blame you. This isn’t something people would be interested on. But just in case, read my 2 episode blog of it from last year on the right hand site of this page to loosen your amnesia. [...]
Hunter X Hunter 25: Life’s is not Fair
03/04/2012 – 9:56
This is one of those riveting scene that is permanently infuse in my mind. I like the tension in part, where Gotho test Killuas friends for his personal reasons, masking the whole “we can’t feel for our masters” creed they were bound to obey. The old series made was more subtle on it, but having [...]
Chihayafuru Review: Making Karuta Fashionable
29/03/2012 – 12:57
How could an Anime be this good if it themes around a bunch of cards that is only played in new years? Well, we did have some fair share of themed series, like Hikaru no Go and Saiki, which I think it is famous (I stopped watching it). But comparing it to these is like [...]
