At last. Summary: Black Star leaves Maka to deal with Chrona while he pursues Death the Kid, and all the while Stein and Medusa’s battle continues. Stein finds himself unable to lay a finger on the witch, but he eventually becomes provoked by the Kishin’s insanity as his “other” side takes over. Maka allows insanity to consume her in order to match her wavelength with Chrona. When she finds Chrona’s soul and sees how Chrona feels deep inside, she opens up to Chrona and in the ...

In my opinion, its one of the best things about the show. The series I most looked forward to has finally aired and I have to say that though it hasn’t begun the way I thought it would, I’m still pleasantly surprised. Rather than delve straight into the gruesome and dark side of the show straight off, we get a mixture of a typical harem comedy (ironically, the personality of the main protagonist allows for many statements about the improbable nature of events that happen to him later in the episode) ...

A fruit will always stay a fruit. Do you remember the last time you had a dish that was so good you could barely describe the taste? Well, Eve no Jikan is just that: indescribable. I think I might just begin with how brilliantly woven the second episode is when it comes to letting the audience feel. And it’s not just any feeling, like infatuation or self-pity, but it’s almost as if this entire series plans on taking us to a whole new level of ...

Shana’s clone o.0? I’m getting mixed responses from lots of people with obviously very conflicting opinions about the anime so far.Especially the handling of episode 2.It is claimed that the light novel was “better” in that it included more material particularly those which build on Taiga and Ryuji’s relationship or friendship at this point.I would assume that this is the “romance” aspect in this romance comedy.Yea,plenty of comedy but not enough romance? For me I do appreciate the aesthetics of romantic relationship between characters, however lets not forget that this is potentially ...

Girls talk too much … right? I honestly don’t know why I held high expectations—-or any at all—-for CLAMP’s new anime entitled Mouryou no Hako. I was quite sure of myself when I told hazy that it couldn’t get any worse than long legs, but the first episode definitely proved me wrong. In fact, it was so urgh that I don’t think I care what happens next. And I’ll just quickly apologize beforehand if I’m starting to sound really harsh, but let’s face it, this ...

Tales of the Abyss has 10 groups subbing it, Shikabanehime:Aka has 1. Let’s hope that the number of groups subbing is not highly correlated with how good of a show it is. Summary: Ouri Kagami, an orphan who grew up on the grounds of a Buddhist Temple and one night wanders around looking for his ‘brother’. He stumbles into a room where a young girl lies, dead. After secretly witnessing his brother revive the girl (and having a conversation with a cat) we get thrown into ...

Oooh, a first episodic post. Summary: We see a scene from Jin’s (protagonist) past that involved Nagi.[1] Jin carves a statue out of a tree that was chopped down at a shrine. It absorbs earth and out pops Nagi like an exploding matryoshka doll. Jin learns about her. Nagi tells Jin that trees are sacred and that “as its name goes, [are trees] of God.” Nagi declares herself to be a deity of the land - “a mother of this land.” Jin’s simplistic bewilderment is ...

Turns out it doesn’t suck! This is my first ever current Anime season post. So you can imagine I’m a little excited about it. Well, I’m a little excited about a few other things happening in my life right now, namely the otaku girl returning my phone call and my internet returning to working state, so let’s have a looksie at Hyakko. So basically the episode opens with a girl jumping out the window, and this blonde girlie here is obviously surprised. We find out more about this later in the episode. ...

This is like … only the best Fall has to offer so far. And spoilers ahead. Besides CLAMP’s new anime, Mouryou no Hako, I was also fairly anxious about GA-REI -zero- because of the character designs and the promise of the sweet supernatural action I witnessed during the promo. At first glance, the characters seemed rather shallow—-if not, imagine your typical soldier boy with little knowledge of the “real” world. However, at the beginning of the first episode, we see a glimpse of Tooru’s (main ...

Salt de vanilla? Tigers are my second favourite animal,my favourite is the cat girl. Its another manga adaption and nope I didn’t read this one yet…Why?Thats a tough one.I just skipped over this since the summary didn’t get my attention lol.But the anime did however.It seems that many liken this to Zero no Tsukaima and such but I don’t give a damn frankly.”Toradora” or “Tiger Doll” is,for me,a real fun ride.I was impressed with what I saw from the first 5 minutes.Strange characters everywhere.Well queer as in less stereotypical than your usual ...

Medusa is hideously beautiful. Summary: All the students are still locked in the tower and Shinigami-sama comes clean and tells everything that there is indeed a Kishin (Death God) underneath Shibusen; the only problem is that they have no real idea as to what a Kishin is. This is when he tells the story about the first Kishin, Asura. My initial thought was “Omg, isn’t that the name of the demon stance that Zoro uses and/or isn’t that the name of the one hit kill move ...
