Nerima Daikon Brothers
For about a week now I’ve been torturing everyone I know with my awful singing. I can’t help it. I got the Nerima Daikon Brothers set and watched the whole thing in a couple of days. That kind of concentrated exposure has some serious effects, causing me to involuntarily sing about a fluffy panda for [...]
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 had me [...]
Saya Kind of Sucks in the First Half of Blood+
I burned through the first half of Blood+. Normally, it takes me forever and a day to get around to watching a box set. If I go the collected box set route, it usually means I didn’t find it worthy enough to spend the extra money to get the initial single volume releases. So box [...]

The series changes tempo for the rest, slowing down into something more blue that’s worth it if you can take slower riffs [...]

Cheap-shot mentioning RBHS, I know. I guess either way, Red Garden promises to be horrific, though obviously I pray for the [...]
Comic Party Revolution
Picked up the Comic Party Revolution thinpak collection. I originally watched Revolution through Netflix. It’s not great anime and probably not even mediocre anime, but it’s the kind of show I can easily put in the DVD player and watch again while doing other things like alphabetizing my CDs and breaking down those Hobby Search [...]
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 add in [...]
