Fairy Tail first impressions

Aoi Bungaku first impressions
I’ve read two out of the six novels that Aoi Bungaku will adapt into anime episodes; No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai and Kokoro by Natsume Souseki. The series starts with No Longer Human so I thought I’d offer my initial impressions after watching the first episode…

My fall season ‘08 picks
As I count down the last few weeks of my summer break, I’m also counting the anime I’m planning to watch this fall season. I think I might be watching more anime this coming season than I ever did before, mostly because of all the sequels that are coming out. Since I’ll be back at university soon and will not have time to post much about these shows, I figured I’d give a quick rundown now of what I’m planning to watch…

There’s a handful of Slayers episodes that I think are some of the funniest anime episodes of all, and the series also has a great cast of characters and an interesting fantasy setting. It’s been years since I’ve watched Slayers (though I’ve watched all three seasons many times in the past), and after watching the first two episodes of Slayers Revolution, waves of nostalgia quickly came over me…
