Metal Gear Solid 4 – Meh

It’s got guys nicknamed Otacon and Akiba, so I can review it in an anime blog. No? Well I’ll just insert random images to make it seem legit.
Metal Gear Solid 4 was a good game and I really enjoyed it, just to get that out there. I’ve only played MGS 1 and 3 and I [...]

Casshern Sins Ep. 8

Pardon the delay, but it’s Thanksgiving Break and I’ve finally gotten around to picking up Metal Gear Solid 4, which I’ll make a post on tomorrow after I play around with it a bit more. Maybe I’d have liked the game better if the Gekko were constantly shouting that they wanted to eat Snake.
Probably not.
Episode [...]

Faust Volume 1

Faust is a compilation of “Fiction and Manga from the Cutting Edge of Japanese Pop Culture” as it describes itself on the cover, right below an image of two girls brandishing swords. The illustration is by “take” who also does a short one-shot manga in the collection at the back of the book, and I [...]

Casshern Sins Ep. 7

Woah woah woah. My judgment of this episode from last week’s preview was way off. Not nearly the lighthearted episode I expected it to be, though the last few minutes were far more bright and hopeful than this series has been in the past.
First off, just because Ringo appears once in the preview, I should [...]

Casshern Sins Ep.6

Dio’s grand entrance is over, and now he’s ready to kill Casshern. Too bad for him Casshern’s got a posse, and as far as I can tell, if he hadn’t already let himself take such a beating, he could’ve easily overpowered Dio. I thought the fights in Kurozuka were cool, but when Dio and Casshern [...]

Golgo 13 ep 17 – Losing respect for Golgo, or “why would you do that?”

So Golgo 13 is finally getting subbed again and I couldn’t be happier. Now, the title here could be confusing and is somewhat of an inside joke. Respecting Golgo for his talents is easy to do, but respecting him for what he does is entirely different. Unlike hitmen in films like The Boondocks Saints, Golgo [...]

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki – A failure to realize potential

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki should have been one of the greatest shows of its season, but it took a formula for success and misbalanced the ingredients. Let’s take a quick look at what those are. You have a story about a man who has been called to act as the head of a family of potentially [...]

Casshern Sins – Episode 5

Yeah, I’m going to start blogging this one episodically. Hopefully it will be a more enjoyable experience for me than blogging Code Geass, since this series is actually good.
Episode 5 gives us a closer look at the events that transpired after the death of Luna, as well as showing us that Casshern was probably killing [...]

Kurozuka, One Outs, and Goku SZS – Neverending fall impressions

I can’t stop finding series to watch this season. It’s starting to get out of hand. These three are all very good in their own right.
Kurozuka is beautiful Madhouse material. It’s got a heavy metal OP featuring one of the guys from Maximum the Hormone so you know it’s good.  This is basically a vampire [...]

Shugo Chara – Magical Girl Anime is affecting my mind.

Help me, Amu. Help me save my blog from dying.
When I think “magical girl”, I think of two series first and foremost. Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura. Amusingly, other than Shugo Chara, these are really the only magical girl series I’ve bothered to watch. Normally if someone asked me to watch a 50+ episode monster [...]
