Mainichi Anime Yume
I wasn’t planning on making an Evangelion 2.22 post since everyone has already written reviews/impressions of it and I can’t imagine what more can be said. But…I had a lot to say about it anyway and I just couldn’t keep it to myself XD This post is sort of a review, but it’s mostly my thoughts and impressions after finally watching the movie last night…
This past Friday I took a relatively short trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco, CA, to attend the U.S. premiere of “The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.”
The first part of this post is my description of the actual premiere event itself, and the second part is my review of the movie. Since it’s basically two posts in one, I apologize in advance for the length…
After reading nothing but good reviews of Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (The Idiot, the Tests, and the Summoned Beings), I decided to see what all the fuss was about…
Kimi ni Todoke is sweet, pretty, and romantic like a shojo series should be. I wouldn’t say its unique by any stretch, just a good series for its genre…
Probably the cutest show to come out so far this year, Hanamaru Kindergarten attests to GAINAX’s flexibility with different genres of anime besides mecha. Twelve episodes wasn’t enough to get me extremely attached, but the show will definitely be missed…
An anime series based on CLAMP’s relatively new manga, Kobato comprises many themes common in CLAMP works, even a number of crossover characters. However, while not one of their best, it is a cute and pleasant show if you can overlook its flaws…
So ends the initially dubbed “Military K-ON!” anime which, though not a spectacular series, was fairly enjoyable…
Railgun wasn’t originally on my list of shows to watch for the fall ’09 season, but after hearing nothing but good things about it, I decided to check it out. I’ve been marathoning it over the past month and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it…
After producing many action/mecha/horror series like Gurren Lagann and Shikabane Hime, I was surprised that GAINAX was releasing a cute, light, slice-of-life series like Hanamaru Kindergarten. Two episodes into Hanamaru, and it got me thinking that this is a show with a wide range of appeal despite any initial impressions…
One of the best and most underrated anime of the year, perhaps of the decade, has recently come to an end…
