I love ABe
Posted in Anime, tagged Serial Experiments Lain on January 28, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I finished Lain last week but found it hard to think of anything to say. I loved the character design and practically every other visual aspect of the show. The way the story played out was extremely captivating, though the viewer probably shares Lain’s frustration at the constant bombardment of new and confusing ideas and [...]

Akagi and the Hidamari Sketch specials: Two kinds of incredible
Posted in Anime, tagged Hidamari Sketch on January 23, 2008 | 8 Comments »
Let me begin by saying that Akagi, the show, wasn’t anything special. Maybe if I knew the game a little better, I’d appreciate the technicalities a little more. On the other hand, Akagi, the man, was more than I had hoped for. He’s a guy with absolutely no regard for his own life, and he [...]
Your First Anime
Posted in Anime, Personal on January 21, 2008 | 10 Comments »
I was thinking back on the first shows I ever watched, and was curious what everybody else’s were. I guess I should wait until I have more readers to do this, but what the hell. Here are mine:
First series I watched on TV: Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon. Cartoon Network was my introduction to anime, [...]
Crusher Joe: Lessons learned from old sf action anime

(Image shamelessly stolen from wildarms)
Lesson 1: Having a gun hidden in your arm is the ultimate, secret weapon. Nobody sees that shit coming. It’s not like when they capture you, they’re going to cuff you, check your pockets, and then see if your hand comes off or not.
Lesson 2: Cocky guys with heavy weaponry make [...]
Winter Season Again. Also, Moyashimon
Posted in Anime, Personal, tagged Moyashimon, Shigofumi on January 19, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I covered nearly everything I plan on watching in the last post, leaving out only 3 series. Those are They Are My Noble Masters, Mnemosyne, and Minami-ke: Okawari.
Noble Masters is an amusing butler series that is very much along the lines of Hayate, with a Klaus-clone and a full cast of characters who have feelings [...]
Winter Season: First Impressions

I’m a little late to the party on this one, but no matter. I’ve still got a few more shows I need to look at, so I imagine there will be a follow up post to this one in the days to come.
Alphabetized for your pleasure.
Aria the Origination – A show where we see that [...]
G-Gundam: A special news bulletin
Posted in Anime, tagged Gundam on January 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Even when the show got serious at the end, we still got to see a horse pilot a Gundam. In fact, I’d say that’s the essence of G-Gundam. A horse…piloting a Gundam. Jesus.
Just a little redecorating.

I never use the Categories, so I’m narrowing that list down and using a tag cloud over to the right instead. Nothing wrong with a little organization. In other news, Shakugan no Shana started up again with a decent episode, so maybe they’ll keep that up.
And an edit: Apparently only so many tags can fit [...]
