Winter ’10 CR Simulcasts
Over the past few months I was too busy to watch anything new. Now I have the time to actually get some use out of the Crunchyroll subscription I’ve been paying for. Though I’ve not used it in six months, I kept on with the subscription. I knew I’d want to use it later on, [...]
Paprika
In some ways, Paprika is a standard thriller with an unconventional bomb. Something has gotten into the wrong hands and if the protagonists don’t wrest it back to safety, then something catastrophic will damage the world.

Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino: Pinocchio Stinks
Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino is an ugly show. Maybe Artland isn’t the worst studio on earth, but compared to what Madhouse built in the first season of Gunslinger Girl, Artland might as well be. But, whatever, the first season supposedly had an insane budget that Artland probably didn’t have, but still, Il Teatrino has some [...]
Ponyo
Lucky for me, Ponyo was playing at a multiplex nearby. Ghibli animation looks great on a theater screen, so I’m happy Disney still sees it fit to put some promotion behind showing Ghibli in US theaters in spite of some pretty weak box office numbers for their previous efforts. Ponyo is different than the more [...]
