Howdy, folks! You might have seen my name floating around here and there in some of the comments to Shingo's posts in the past. While these comments will still make their sporadic appearances, it's instead with much gusto that I am here to announce my incipient journalistic endeavors in a brand spanking new column for HD.

Today I received a package containing a DVD I’m set to screen for the next five Wednesdays from Operation Anime, Funimation’s anime club program. I had to bike to the former club president’s apartment to pick it up because there was some error after I changed the shipping address to mine and it apparently didn’t [...]

[Episode 10: Uena Falls] [Episode 11: The Troupe Again at a Provisional Stage] [Enjoyment Value: 8/10 & 8/10] [Thoughts] So it seems that Juubei didn’t die at all in the past few episodes and is alive according to the new scripts that Soutetsu gave the Troupe. Thank goodness it happened because I was feeling a bit sad that they [...]

The 2003 series Bakuretsu Tenshi, or Burst Angel, was a futuristic Charlie’s Angels clone with the added element of mecha. But unlike the Charlie’s Angels who are over-the-hill old women who think they are really hot, we have four girls who are! The original series lived off a single formula - Meg gets kidnapped and [...]

Broadcast times and cast have been firmed up and now Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku wo is slated to begin Tuesday night April 3 at 26:15. I'll add it to my original season summary, but in brief, it appears to be the second harem-show-on-an-island of the new season, along with Nagasarete Airandou.The island's largest employer is pulling up stakes and the school dorm is almost empty, just our hero and some girls. Then suddenly a transfer student appears: one of the girls arrives back in her room to find a beautiful girl in her underwear resting on the bed. From a popular ero-game, with the PS2 version coming out in May. The hero is apparently a much more interesting character than the average harem lead.The director, Yabuki Tsutomu, did Keitai Shoujo and Happy Seven. Lead writer Nishizono Satoru does the same job on Happiness and Naruto Shippuden. Animation director Hanai Hirokazu animated the good-looking Kamisama Kazoku. The cast is an interesting mixture, with Koorogi Satomi (Himawari in Crayon Shin-chan), Orikasa Ai, Shinji Kawada (Mine in Nodame), and Nazuka Kaori (in a minor role), among others. The fact that Artland is involved also gives me hope.To get ready for the new season, which starts tonight (Wednesday night) with the promising Hitohira, take a look at my full season preview, and at the wonderful full preview done by Random Curiosity.

Oshi…I may have jumped the gun with that one I guess my own little contribution to the ever popular fad of previewing coming anime is in order. With Kanon a fading memory and Kyousora a traumatizing scar we move into the spring anime season, the season with a reputation of being slightly superior to the rest. I [...]

Believe it or not, I just recently finished watching Kamichu for the very first time. When the show first aired nearly two years ago, I was out of the country and too busy with work to watch anime. I did, however, have the opportunity to catch the first two episodes, and liked what [...]

“Red Ribbon Army Saga” Thus we reach the point where Dragon Ball becomes less easy to categorise into arcs. I think that the DVDs are more arbitrarily divided at this point, considering that this particular quest for the Dragon Balls doesn’t end until episode 75. I’m still having a good time, but the times aren’t as good [...]

Some amazing people over at Beast’s Lair have translated part of Kagetsu Tohya into english. For those not in the know, Kagetsu Tohya is the fun disk sequel to Tsukihime, like what Fate/hollow Ataraxia is to Fate/stay Night. Kagetsu Tohya is made up of a main story where Shiki continues to live the same day [...]

Yay, Krory finally come out to see the world… but as soon as he did, he was duped. He is so innocent until I can’t even believe he was that blood sucking Krory. He is cheated by the local merchant and even a kid. Later, he also lost his coat to some [...]
