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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Hunter X Hunter 24: The Bag Still has some fashion
26/03/2012 – 12:42
So we got a Canary episode and Killua’s father being devious in the most devious way. I was thinking that this is the episode where Gotoh comes in. But no. We get to see Canary and Killua’s first meeting. To which, adding the past of the thin guard at the gate is a welcome treat. [...]
Guilty Crown Overall Review
25/03/2012 – 21:30
Guilty Crown is hard to beat in having me describe my overall impressions of it. It had been one roller-coaster ride, but this ride would make you end up with a long face. It’s also anime’s equivalent of Mac OS X Lion or Windows Vista; too much hype, “eye-candy”, BIG Your Mileage May Vary user [...]
Chihayafuru 24: Taking You To my Room
25/03/2012 – 12:50
With the theme release, let’s take a look in the Animes that I had neglected of writing. Not that their bad, I just happen to have little to say to it. I had didn’t write anything about Chihayafuru in a while, despite that the ending just around the corner. It begs to question that with [...]
