Well, there was a dive in the quality of the animation this episode. I think the only scene were the animation was superb was that one scene with Tear and Luke (and Mieu). I thought the character development all in all is going in a natural pace, even though the game still had [...]

As usual, another episode that had a good balance of comedy and drama. I totally laughed out when Ami ‘tricked’ Taiga into rehearsing with her, and even more when Taiga wrestled Ami into a lock and everyone was just… crowding around them, like it was nothing. Pretty interesting scene at the end, too, [...]

Well, I’m starting to appreciate this series again, which is a real relief. For one thing, they actually dedicated one whole episode to Jade’s past, which was (I think) a lot more than the game gave. Of course, there were any cool flashback scenes in the game, as far as I recall. It [...]

This episode seemed like an awesome start to the new arc. I think I’m going to enjoy this arc the most, because there are more ‘new’ characters and it’s always amusing to watch Mikoto’s silliness. It was also hilarious to watch Touma’s reaction to shorts and panty shots. This episode had some of [...]

Great episode, in terms of action! I thought it was going to be another ‘those are only illusions, which are not real’ kind of corny episode right in the middle of the running time, then I found out about the real issue. I thought it was a pretty cool fight, and smart of [...]

Good episode, even though it’s still awkward to see the transition between the scenes (which I can’t blame the animation crew for - you really can’t waste five minutes on them just running around a place). What I loved about this is episode is Luke’s apparent transformation. The way he battled that guard [...]

What I liked about this episode is that they actually showed more back story to Ash’s whole ‘he took my life’ story. In the game, I remember just thinking about how much of a brat he was because he could’ve just come back and told everyone the truth. I had no idea he [...]

Kim’s pretty cool, and I think I liked watching her, Ox and Kilik’s group more now. They seem to have some awesome teamwork, and their abilities are a bit strange but still entertaining to watch. Of course, Maka’s team is also entertaining, especially since we’ve been watching them since… forever. Anyway, Soul has [...]

This was a pretty nice episode. I thought what was really cool about it was they made a better effort in showing off the abilities of the characters - finally, the side characters (students) are doing more than just looking like statues. They also have more personality no, yey. Oh, and Justin was [...]
