I’ve grown respect of Wowow with its showcase in delivering quality anime, like Full Metal Panic to Ergo Proxy. I do think that they’re the first Noitamina even before Noitamina exist. So when I found out that Ozuma is airing in a channel that gave me great anime, I am curious to what surprise has [...]

Kimi to Boku 3 4: In the Steam
An episode without Chizuru gets an instant down raiting for me. You see, what is good about Chizuru is how he stirs the gang to something interesting. Always gets them in some form of situation or mess, while we enjoy the reaps of each character’s charms. But nevertheless, this week’s episode did had a decent [...]
First Impressions: Ginga e Kickoff
You would had killed yourself if you lose to a dog in football. Ginga e Kickoff. Finally, someone did a fansub of it. I’m starting to lose hope in the fansub industry for neglecting interesting kid shows. This one has those right strings that makes an interesting kids show. Actually, it is much better with [...]
First Impressions: Shining Hearts – The BREAD of happines
It’s about people and Bread. Well, it’s not that BAD as that Kakera. There’s a fare share of cute girls and bishounen. I am fine with the male lead, but he’s Yuuji everlead, so that’s not helping. The women are your stereotype bitches that has an fathomable admiration to the male lead’s bread. There’s isn’t [...]
First Impressions: Tsuritama
Tsuritama is an original anime project with a very unique and weird premise and prospect. It also sends STAR DRIVER-esque vibes due to it’s psychedelic visuals and cheery-toned characters. It’s really a pity that this is a love-it or hate-it affair, as this would have been an instant hit. I liked how the small part [...]
First Impressions: Sakamichi no Apollon
It’s the third nuke of this season! Those nukes did nothing but leveling my watchlist more and focusing it to just the interesting ones. With Jormungand airing now, Upotte! can now be safely put on-hold. And with Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope, for those lovers of EN-translated titles), I can now enjoy better [...]
First Impressions: Jormungand
The second of the two nukes that aired and bombed on this week, during the time of this writing, is Jormungand. And boy, how did it helps to slowly trim down my thick watchlist. Just as how I expected it to be, the action is as badass any scene in the Bourne series with a [...]
First Impressions: Tasogare Otome X Amnesia
This week airs two big guns of this season. One of them is Tasogare Otome X Amnesia. It’s also an unexpected nuke that entertained me even if it’s dripping with romance as its heart. It’s also a potpourri of genres, which include mystery and comedy. Themes like Horror, Ecchi, and Seinen is also sprinkled around. [...]
First Impressions: Kuroko Basketball
Gyaa~ I immediately fell in love with this. There’s even a Yaoi fanbait. Anyway, shounen sports aren’t really my liking, despite picking Area no Kishi. But that’s because of the drama not much on the sport. Kuroko Basketball is more in your traditional shounen troupe than the former. But it does so in an impressive [...]
First Impressions: Saki Achiga-hen
“Lolis playing mahjong” was the most prominent thought I would get if I were to make an informal survey regarding what would Saki: Achiga-hen be. Watching it would yield different results. You wouldn’t call busty bishoujo as “loli,” would you? Aside from that, it’s a game-themed anime that focuses on Mahjong. On the downside, it’s [...]
