May 10, 2006 on 10:55 pm | In Digimon Savers | 1 Comment

“Break into the Digital World! Dorimogemon’s trap!”

As I predicted, adversity breeds friendship between a rich boy and a boy with a burning spirit. The world smiles down upon this world of Digimon.

Ouran High School Host Club – episode 4

May 10, 2006 on 10:54 pm | In Ouran High School Host Club | Comments Off on Ouran High School Host Club – episode 4

“The invasion of the female manager”

I am a master of silent laughter. When you watch anime on trains or in the library, you don’t want to draw attention to your mirth. This episode of Ouran High School Host Club had me in danger of exposing my jollity to the world at large. At the last second I held it down, but this was a near riotous episode, packed as it was with inappropriate material.

Time Travellin’ Space Potato – episode 5

May 9, 2006 on 11:51 pm | In Suzumiya Haruhi | Comments Off on Time Travellin’ Space Potato – episode 5

“The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi 3”

I’ve laid low on writing about this episode of this top secret show because I needed time for my non-existent evil plans to come to fruition.

Actually, this is really good stuff right here that even justifies the existence of Mikuru and her godawful voice, and for that I am grateful. It’s just a pity that the real world so significantly dampened my enthusiasm for this adventure.

Remember, folks: she’s not the messiah, she’s a very naughty girl.

The concept of Suzumiya Haruhi revealed at last!

Honey and Clover – Special Chapter F

May 7, 2006 on 10:15 am | In Honey and Clover | 3 Comments

Hurrah for Honey & Clover! The F stands for Fashion, and this episode is set in a no man’s land of a time before Mayama joined Fujiwara design, and then soon after he began. It’s a parade of hilarity and just the slightest bit of profundity. Just the slightest.

Kiba – episode 5

May 3, 2006 on 8:23 pm | In Kiba | Comments Off on Kiba – episode 5

“Land of the Commandment”

The focus is taken away from Zed and shifts to Noa. I’m not sure what to think of this story; it has an interesting take on dictatorships masquerading as utopias (although More’s original Utopia could be considered a dictatorship anyway), but it chooses to frame this story with inexplicable “Noa in the desert” scenes.

Black Lagoon – episode 3

May 3, 2006 on 8:21 pm | In Black Lagoon | Comments Off on Black Lagoon – episode 3

“Ring-Ding Ship Chase”

This episode displays many kinds of sadism, and it berates itself for doing so. The world of pirates is a world that is far dirtier outside of the context of the Black Lagoon crew.

Rose of Versailles – episodes 14-19

May 2, 2006 on 11:52 pm | In Rose of Versailles | 5 Comments

I was going to make fun of all of the lesbian subtexts that are, in this day and age, supertexts. Then episode 19 came along and punched me in the kidneys. Rose of Versailles proves itself a great source of sympathetic villains: complex characters from history, that bring into sharp relief the fact that the fictional characters are little more than decoration.
The interest largely springs from characters such as Madame Polignac and Marie Antoinette, relegating Oscar at this point in the story to more of a reactionary role: a prism through which the series can take turns in tone.

Here we cross into spoiler territory

Yakitate!! Japan – The Special of Love and Friendship (episodes 59 and 60)

May 2, 2006 on 9:50 pm | In Yakitate!! Japan | 3 Comments

“Nin nin nin!! My way of the ninja, dattebayo!” and “I hate all things twisted!! Kai and Monica’s two-person tripod!”

The bread ninja come to town. Will Pantasia never lose? Because at 4/9 they really only need one more match to come out on top and next episode’s stakes are too high for Pantasia to afford a loss.

A fairly good episode with nothing to complain about. Colour me impressed.
