Get out your eyepatches, yarrrr As you may have heard, a sequel to the popular visual-novel-turned-anime ef: a tale of memories is coming in the next few weeks, hopefully to power us through the fall season angstily. ef seems to be a touchy topic: some people find it a perfect case for attempting to give an [...]

Jeff is through with ef and his opinion has improved considerably: All in all, the story (or stories, I suppose) isn’t all that original as far as visual novel adaptations go. There are some unique elements - Chihiro’s illness, for example - and those elements are treated more thoughtfully and carefully than one would expect, but [...]

Being a year behind the curve and all, I’m not sure there’s much I can say about ef - a tale of memories that hasn’t already been said. But I’ll say it anyway. Previously, I described the series as “fascinating, but absolutely boring”. I got part of it right, at least. The show [...]

Jeff updates and drops this line: Just last night, I started my second attempt at watching ef - a tale of memories. If you’ve been visiting for awhile, you know that my first attempt ended in failure. I’m still guarded, of course, but I can honestly say that I find the show far more engrossing now [...]

I’ve not seen anything so thoroughly, all-around amazing in years. As I think back in time and try to remember when I could not put series away, ef was touching, and F/SN had a strong story, but… they are just not in the same league. I think even Manabi is not secure at the top, after [...]

While browsing the early list of fall shows, nothing pops out at me besides Clannad: After Story, Toradora!, and maybe ef - a tale of melodies. Anticipation for Clannad is very high. Toradora is yet another light novel with the tired ‘guy meets girl/s premise’ (Haruhi, Shana, Zero no Tsukaima, Haruka Nogizaka) but hey, I’m [...]
