Yakushiji Ryoko is a police officer with a difference; she’s vain, driven and completely selfish- a veritable nightmare to work with. Unfortunately, that’s just what her long-suffering aide Izumida Jun’ichirou has to do- and it’s as thankless a task as you’d expect. Nonetheless, against all odds, they make a pretty good team when it comes [...]

I’m always on the lookout for anime shows that are different; partly because I like shows that are different and partly because it becomes harder to get bored of shows that aren’t different since they only make up part of what I watch. This anime was an example of being slightly different, not really different [...]

I'm so moe. Impressions: This had all the elements a classic X-Files episode. An expedition finds a human-like organism.  A research team uses the cell from the organism to fuse with a human cell, creating some alien looking creature who happens to feed on human innards.  It was an interesting episode, [...]

Also known as Yakushiji Ryoko No Kaiki Jikenbo. I picked this one up because Jason at Derailed by Derry ranked it high on his thin-slicing post and I like it a lot and hope it fills in for more Ghost Hunt that we’ll probably never see. Rating: 10/12 A Ryoko is a police inspector and Izumida is [...]

 Now this is real rock-climbing.   Impressions: A solid second episode that concludes the human mummification/combustion case.  The real culprit turned out to be Tsutsumi-sensei, who was being supported by the Tsukuyomi party to create the Ochimizu in order to achieve eternal life.  Ryoko showcased her deductive skills by essentially figuring everything out since early on.

Strike Witches: Little girls without pants are terrifying… Alright, I didn’t want to watch Strike Witches. The trailer made me cringe and poke my eyes out with toothpicks. I can’t handle the little girls without pants! I can’t! I can’t! Give me blood, death, gore, anything but the cute, prepubescent lolis without pants! I mean, the [...]

  You brought the stuff?  Excellent….  Impressions: Solid first ep.  I was impressed with the story premise as well as the overall ambiance of the show.  And with Iwasaki Tarou at the helm, I'm fairly certain  this will be a more than competent suspense thriller.  The only negative is that it's a short [...]

Why in the world am I always blogging about anime where the name of the series is impossibly difficult to remember? I always have to resort to the silly ctrl-C button in order to remember the name. Silly rants aside, Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo -Ryoko’s Case File- (a long mouthful) is one of the [...]

Strike Witches Short Synopsis: Our lead character becomes a witch that fights against alien forces. Highlights: Lacks the style of the OVA. Overall Enjoyment Value: 6,5/10 It’s a shame that the style of the OVA was abandoned for the tv-series. Still, overall Strike Witches did its job, I guess. Ironically, at the moment this seems to be the perfect [...]

  Seriously, my brain is fried. Impressions: I have really mixed feelings about this show. I didn’t think I’d be too much of a fan, but I really like how it started. Nice confusing prophetic dream, then Izumida immediately gets thrown in with a relatively eccentric boss who chases some guy, beats up some more, and [...]
