Mainichi Anime Yume
So ends the anticipated second season of Darker than Black, at 12 episodes. The series was really good, though it wasn’t what I had initially thought it would be (early promotional art/summaries made it seem like Hei and Yin would be the main protagonists). And like the first season, I’m having some trouble figuring out the ending…
I’m pretty tolerant, but I have to admit that this is one anime I was rather ashamed to have continued watching to the end…
The 12-episode romance/comedy series Nyan Koi!…I originally checked it out because I like cats (and the character designs were a little appealing). In the end, it’s not the greatest show, but it’s definitely enjoyable…
Episode 2 of the Denpa teki na Kanojo horror/psychological thriller OVA series recently came out. Episode 1 was pretty good, but I was particularly impressed with episode 2…
Compared to the many action-packed and drama-filled shonen anime I’ve seen, newcomers Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee) and Fairy Tail seem to be “lighter” shonen series…
Kokoro is one of the most famous Japanese novels by arguably the most influential Japanese author, Natsume Souseki. But with only two episodes with which to adapt a roughly 190 page book, the anime version of Kokoro left out a majority of the novel’s content, and instead offered a new twist on the story’s conflict…
Unlike the previous No Longer Human and the upcoming Kokoro, I have not read the original novel of Ango Sakaguchi’s In the Forest, Under the Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita). After the dramatic, psychological-intense No Longer Human, Aoi Bungaku switches to this more horrifying though slightly comedic story…
Yen Press and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers released the official English version of the first Haruhi Suzumiya light novel, “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,” in April of this year. Volume 2, “The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya,” recently came out earlier this month. I’ve purchased and read both of them, so I figured it’s time for a review…
Two episodes into Fairy Tail and I definitely feel it has potential, but like other shonen series, it’s going to take time to really tell…
