Okay, I’ve been really lenient on this anime for the past two episodes, but now I have to wonder, what was the point of introducing the tournament if they’re not planning to build on it? The first episode was so different from how this anime apparently is. Felicita at first seemed like an independent tough … Continue reading →

If you read my episode 2 rant about how SAO wasn’t taking the darker side of its concept very seriously, you probably watched Sachi talk to Kirito about how scared she was in this episode and thought something like, “Finally, this’ll get that goth to stfu!” I gotta say, I am pretty happy that after … Continue reading →

Yup, I officially cried during this episode. The first tears of many. I’m not longer so sure that a relationship with Hazuki would be healthy for Rokka, nor fair to Hazuki. Rokka is nowhere near over Atsushi, and she keeps thinking about him even when she’s with Hazuki, so I don’t think she’s ready for … Continue reading →

I’m not watching every single anime airing this season, so I can’t actually say that Natsuyuki Rendezvous is the best anime of the season, but I’ll bet my opinion wouldn’t change even if I did watch everything, because this episode was even better than the last one, and I thought the last one was a … Continue reading →

I know I’m very late with this, but I finally got around to watching this anime, and like Sakamichi no Apollon from last season, I can’t forgive myself for not starting it sooner! What I expected: A bland shoujo anime with flowers blooming unnecessarily all over the screen to attract interest. What I got: A … Continue reading →

It’s kind of weird that all the characters look so badass, but the storyline is… relatively normal. I mean, the first episode got me all pumped up to see some Arcana power action in the big tournament, but then episodes 2 and 3 switch genres into Slice of Life! The mood, plot, and gags are … Continue reading →

Oh my gosh, I didn’t expect to be so interested in every episode of this anime when I started watching! This episode, the guys play badminton against the girls in a game to determine which of their clubs will get 5 members to officially form – losers have to join the winner’s club. It didn’t … Continue reading →

Call me an anime hater, a emo gothic… darkness lover or whatever, but I was really fricking disappointed to see that SAO isn’t even close to handling its concept to full potential. Yes, it is because there weren’t enough dark aspects shown, which there should have been more of. Hear me out. In other action … Continue reading →

Woah. What just happened? Episode 1 ended with the 5 main characters meeting up together, in a collision-of-fate way, and I was sure that those 5 would make up the choir club. I mean, come on – there’s 5 characters, and a club needs 5 members to form? I was just thinking that this was … Continue reading →

After getting some info on a huge tournament involving everyone with Arcana powers in the last episode, I thought we’d jump right into it. Turns out, we don’t really see any action in this episode, not unless you count the bit of action they do jumping to grab a kitten. Yeah, a kitten. That’s the … Continue reading →
