One more series finished, though I guess I should say two, as I also recently completed My-Hime. I don’t have much to say about My-Hime beyond asking the question, what the hell was that ending about? I don’t mind a happy ending, but it should at least be reasonable.
Hatenkou Yugi was, to put it quite [...]

Code Geass R2 Ep. 16
Posted in Anime, Code Geass on July 27, 2008 | 5 Comments »
As most people should realize, episode 16 showcased the best 6 seconds of anime this year.
I’ve never liked Suzaku, and I’ve been pretty on and off about my judgment of his character, but the fact that he had this coming seems to me rather undeniable. I knew he’d take a few hits to the face [...]
Code Geass R2 Ep. 15

(Short, no image post. As is customary when I’m a day late.)
This was season 1 quality stuff right here. It’s still not the best thing on television, but it’s quite fun nonetheless. The episode revealed everything we needed to know about C.C.’s background (though the origin of Geass itself hasn’t been shown) and the nature [...]
More First Impressions of the Summer Season

I was waiting until I had seen 3 more series until I posted, only to remember that I had seen 3 more series. Awhile ago. Gotta love my short term memory.
Tetsuwan Birdy Decode was certainly a forgettable experience for me, evidenced by the fact that I, well, forgot I watched it. I can’t decide whether [...]
Gotham Knight – The Batmanime

A quick statement of my thoughts before heading off to work. I’ll just talk about each of the 6 parts in the order they played.
Have I got a Story for You (Studio 4C)- This one’s about some kids who are glorifying Batman as they see him: a shadow, an actual bat-creature, and a robot. It’s [...]
Code Geass R2 Ep. 14 – I hate everyone
Posted in Anime, Code Geass, tagged Code Geass on July 13, 2008 | 22 Comments »
There’s something wrong with a series when a single episode makes me hate nearly all of its main characters. Let’s take a look:
Lelouch: “If Geass is the power of the King, there need only be one, and that’s me.”
I’ve always been behind Lelouch and while I don’t mind if he wins or loses everything in [...]
Catching up: Everything I should have posted about earlier

I’m just going to do a rundown of all the new shows I’ve started, and some of the old shows I’ve finished and my first/final impressions on each. I’ll start the old ones and move on to the new.
Kanokon
As fanservice shows go, Kanokon really blew me away. The plot or semblance of such was no [...]
Code Geass R2 Ep 13

No images in this week’s post as I’m already late and I’m feeling lazy. So since the season is halfway over, I’ll just talk some more about what I want to see.
The writers have made it painfully obvious that nothing is easy in the Geass Universe. Every episode must end in DORAMA, every truth must [...]
The Revenge of Widefaces x365

Much like Yuno-chan, I forgot something important:
It’s time for Hidamari Sketch x365!
Please make sure your nutbladder is securely fastened because the girls are back for another season, and it is awesome. I nearly died from an overload of cuteness and wonderful artistic direction. I watched the subs that popped up already, but I’m hoping that [...]
