Mixing mystery and paranormal is like mixing oil and water. Mystery relies on the on-set of systematic delivery of plot-points that eventually builds the tension and the answer all together, which makes the entire impact more effective; but in cases where paranormal comes into play. The logic gets thrown out of the picture, making short [...]

Yup. That’s the spot Yuki. You got it right there. Aw, it feels good.

Oh that cute grin smiling at me, intimately inviting me into an endless hours of fantasising on silly thoughts that I don’t want to elaborate in this post. It took me almost forever to get the first episode of this obscure series. Looking at this screenshot, he does look cute.
In Review: Kamisama Memo-chou

From the get-go this series never had a good first impression. Taken as the one of the two summer’s Gosick themed mystery series, the expectations are already set in before the show even has the chance to lay its foundation. What’s bad, the characters started dry and uninteresting that is also comes as a cheap [...]

The first episode of Kamisama memo-chou didn’t brought a striking impression. But the latest case just made me realize, that despite it flaws there is something that makes this well enough to give a short impression review. I decided not to do an episode blog about this, but I can’t also just mum on my [...]

Since I only do three Summer review, it leaves me a lot of room to check out old Animes that I missed. Well, this one isn’t something that is new to me. If you are listening to my podcast, I always mentioned Yakitate as one of the best dubbed anime in recent times. At least [...]
In Review: Law of Ueki Part 2
26/06/2011 – 11:23
I’m almost half of the series away. I think I can finish this over the weekend. This series is slow, but it goes along fine after the initial episodes. I can see that the quality in the art is improving, or rather, I’m getting used to it. They also don’t have the habit of using [...]
In Review: Law of Ueki
25/06/2011 – 21:46
With the Spring Season coming to a close. I figured this gives me more leeway to get to another retro series. One blog mentioned this series is passing, as a very simple-minded Shounen that is done right. Law of Ueki is not something new to me. It has been shown in TV and I didn’t [...]
In-Review: Hourou Musuko Anime Vol 1
21/05/2011 – 10:18
Back in Winter, I was ecstatic about Hourou Musuko. Being then, it was an interesting character study about a gender identity and the complexity involving the social perception of such. My first impression was overly positive, despite not having read the manga in general. The entire premise was intriguing and close to home, that it [...]

So I finaly got myself to watching another anime this spring season. I believe our EIC just did a first impressions, which he branded along the lines of “not for everyone or your mileage may vary” kind of anime. Yes, this anime doesn’t stand toe-to-toe to the big series that’s ruling the air waves right [...]
