I Had No Idea Kanon Was this Funny
I avoided reading anything on Kanon when it was airing. Pretty much, I thought Kanon would be a solid tear-jerker like Air, something that had a light hearted bit thrown in here and there to provide contrast, but really just wanted to make your eyes water. So far after eight episodes, Kanon has [...]
Le Chevalier D’Eon, Series Review
Le Chevalier D’Eon scored well with me on a lot of notes in the beginning. The story borrows the setting of pre French Revolution Europe, uses the history and historical figures, twists them up, throws in zombies and wizards called poets in an intrigue filled plot. Sounds like it could be interesting, but [...]
My-Otome, The Beach, Denied
I’ve been so busy lately that I actually have a backlog of everything, not just anime, but my other loser activities as well. Times like these I go for funny and junky stuff like My-Otome, that admittedly, is not quite as good as taco rice (an Epic Win), which is actually healthy while still [...]
Air TV vol 3

A script like this in live action [...]
Mushi-Shi, Inside the Cage
The episode that stuck with me the most on Mushi-Shi volume 3 is episode 14, Inside the Cage. While traveling through a bamboo forest, Ginko meets a man who can’t seem to leave the forest no matter how far he walks and what direction he goes. The man longs to return to his [...]
Air TV vol.2
Something like Air TV would probably crumble if watched with other people, but I found the stories touching. I think these stories in Air are for sentimental people or people who understand loneliness — maybe it even panders to loneliness a little bit and sharing it. There’s certainly a feeling of late night [...]
Begin Air
Air is an anime that I’ve been anticipating without actually knowing anything about it other than a picture of a girl by the sea with her hair caught in the wind. A deep blue sky, a sublime wind, and the feeling of loneliness. Is it enough?
