Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi
Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi is the 100 poems we learned so much about in Chihayafuru brought to animated life, with the good and the bad that that brings with it. It looks like we’ll get one or two of the hundred poems each week, so I figured 50 episodes, but the narrator and supposed [...]

Another set of first impressions and this time I’ve grouped these two anime together for being considerably different from the rest of the Summer 2012 line-up. One approaches humanity’s decline in a cutesy yet still satirical manner while the other re-tells the romantic stories behind the 100 [...]

Binbou-Gami ga! Short Synopsis: Our lead character is very popular and has big boobs. So this is the big comedy of the season, made by the Sunrise Comedy team, and I must say: I’m very impressed by this episode. This episode had a very good combination between jokes and sad drama, and the jokes themselves [...]

This is doubly amusing when every girl seems to go gaga over the guys dressed in these silly hats. Maybe that’s what I’ve been doing wrong all along. Maybe I need to [...]

Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi not only takes the audience back to the days of old, but also takes them back to the days of high-school English class when using SparkNotes and Wikipedia was the solution to everything.

Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu – Uta Koi Short Synopsis: Our lead character compiled a bunch of poems together for a children’s card game. And no, he’s not Pegasus. Okay. This wasn’t what I expected this series to be. I mean, the concept is about the poems of the Karuta game all-right; but before now, all of [...]
