In this episode: Big secrets are revealed! We still don’t know about what really happened between Casshern and Luna when he was sent to kill her, but a lot of other interesting facts were brought to the table.
1. The guy following Casshern around in the early episodes was Braiking Boss, though I’d already figured this. [...]

As we approach yet another new year, I want to wish you all a merry Christmas, or whatever the hell you celebrate. It doesn’t matter, as we all know that this time of year is about getting free stuff, and that’s a universal ideal. Except for the poor people, but they don’t have internet so [...]

Nothing much happened in this week’s episode of Casshern Sins (kekeke), but let’s take a look at what did. Margo the painter lives in a city that is constantly repainted in the color of its king. While the city is brown now from being weathered by sandstorms, it was previously black to represent Braking Boss [...]

I’ve always (read: since last year) had it in my head that I could either watch the Ichigo Mashimaro anime, or read the manga. One or the other. I could not do both. This is probably the result of an idea instilled in me in elementary school that I should never write about a book [...]

Episode 11 puts the humans back into the mix, showing us a group of people coexisting with cyborgs, which I imagine is the only way they can survive anymore. We’ve seen it a million times: humans build robots only to become subservient/dependant upon them.
This episode was pretty much a 22 minute display of Friender’s loyalty. [...]

So I’m sitting here listening to Don’t Fear the Reaper and I figure it’s about time to do my winter season post. If you catch the link, then good for you. You win nothing. This is the list of everything I plan to watch, though I’ll probably pick more up and drop some of these [...]

Needing something to watch in my spare time, and desiring to see all of Gundam that’s worth seeing, I picked up Victory Gundam about a week ago and I’ve burned my way through the first half. Following my normal routine of watching two completely different genres at once, I also picked up Zettai Shonen, but [...]

A Casshern Sins episode that doesn’t star Casshern, Friender, Ringo and company is, not surprisingly, still solid material. The episode focused on Dio and his scheming lady friend, Leda. What we see of Dio is what you’d expect; a man much like Casshern, only replace the sadness with rage. He complains about the state of [...]

I pay no attention to anime-related news at all, so for all I know this is really old news, but I saw this article on ANN and nearly had a heartattack. It’s a doujin DVD of Maikaze’s Touhou Anime project to be released at Comiket 75, which I wouldn’t have considered news if it weren’t [...]

Genderswapping (as most people are well aware of at this point) is an interesting business. A character is taken, redrawn to resemble a member of the opposite sex, and if they’re popular enough, the new character design will stick, and the genderswap will be born. If not, then you may end up with a slew [...]
