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 [...]
Venus Versus Virus, Yeah I Know
I’d been making fun of Venus Versus Virus for a little bit, so I felt compelled to put it in my Netflix queue. VVV is the story of Sumire and Lucia who fight viruses (demon type things), but Sumire has an uncontrollable power that could cause her to turn on her mentor, Lucia.
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 [...]
Ending Haruhi in the Rain
Hype is a giant killer. The more furious the proclamations of greatness the more likely the legend will be dead on arrival. A few days ago I finished The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, its battered and bloody, but it survived hype’s special attack and was a fun show for me to watch.
Air TV vol 3

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 village after [...]
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 conversations with [...]
