Minami-ke Okaeri - Episode 1 >>

After a generally highly regarded first season of Minami-ke, the second season of this slice of life show, Okawari, somehow managed to ruin much of what the franchise brought to the table with lower quality animation coupled with looser, less humorous scripts and plots. Overall, it was a disappointment of a series, that started out at a mediocre pace before getting stuck in a rut and really

Hyakko - Episode 12 >>

After the last episode of Hyakko surprised a little by turning on the humour where it had previously been lacking, the latest instalment of this slice of life series turned things entirely on their head, eschewing comedy almost entirely in favour of a far more dramatic storyline. For starters, we're finally introduced properly to Torako's older sister, Oniyuri, in an episode that fills in all of

White Album - Episode 1 >>

It's new anime season in Japan once again to kick-start the new year, and the first series for my cogitation and digestion is White Album - No, nothing to do with The Beatles before you ask, but it does have something of a musical bent I suppose. The protagonist of this series is Touya Fuji, a University student who doesn't particularly seem to have much going for him - He's not exactly the most

Hyakko - Episode 11 >>

Well, whaddya know? After having quite the moan about how dull and unfunny episode ten of Hyakko had proved to be, so it goes and manages to improve itself in the very next episode. Not to the heights of absolute hilarity admittedly, but it made for a far more entertaining prospect nonetheless. The episode got itself off to a good start, with the class teacher Amagasa playing with his new

Telepathy Shoujo Ran - Episode 26 (Completed) >>

Had this been a thirteen episode series I would probably have been more forgiving, but as it is I have to say that I'm both glad and relieved that Telepathy Shoujo Ran has come to an end. I hate to steal the thunder of a fellow 'Blogger who mentioned this series in passing recently as the dullest anime of the year, but I'm more than a little inclined to agree. Anyhow, this final episode takes

Shikabane Hime: Aka - Episode 11 >>

Last episode we were introduced to Shichisei, an organised group of Corpses looking to team up with the betrayer priest we saw earlier in the series with a view to destroying the Shikabane Hime (and, of course, the Kougon cult with it). Circular as these things are, we also come to the realisation that Shichisei were responsible for the death of Makina's family, and the reason for her becoming a

Telepathy Shoujo Ran - Episode 25 >>

At last, we move fully into Telepathy Shoujo Ran's final story arc, inevitably bringing back Momoko (who frankly has been the only half-decent "baddie" in the series anyway) to cause some chaos, the beginnings of which we saw last episode. After building up the tension last time around, the immediate danger is diffused surprisingly quickly, as a visit to the school grounds finds Ran and Midori's

The Hanners' Anime 'Blog Air Pie With No Pastry Awards 2008 >>

I've donned my tuxedo, rolled out the red carpet, and just written two blatant lies in a desperate attempt to make this 'Blog entry sound more important than it is. Yes, this can only mean one thing - The first, some say inaugural, some say premier, Hanners' Anime 'Blog Air Pie With No Pastry Awards, an annual opportunity for me to throw all pretences of non-bias out the window, rave like a

Hyakko - Episode 10 >>

Another episode of Hyakko introduces us to yet another "new" (new, as in we've seen her before but didn't really know anything about her) character, but yet again it appears to have left its sense of humour at the dry cleaners or something. This time around, the emphasis of the episode is upon Touma Kazamatsuri - A quiet girl who wants to keep herself to herself, not wanting anyone to intrude on

Shikabane Hime: Aka - Episode 10 >>

It may have happened a couple of episodes ago now, but Minai's "death" (I'm not sure if you can say that someone who is already dead has died, but never mind) still reverberates around this episode. In particular, Keisei seems Hell-bent on finding out how she was disposed of despite Ouri putting her into hiding, a line of enquiry that exposes the exact nature of the people Ouri has been working

Kannagi - Episode 13 (Completed) >>

It's fair to say that Nagi's disappearance in recent episodes hasn't really done much for Jin's normally shy yet friendly demeanour, and lo and behold not too far into this episode he flips at poor old Tsugumi, complete with a shoe-based incident which would doubtless have had George W. Bush flinching. Self-destructive though this may seem, if nothing else it at least spurs Tsugumi into action
