It’s completely not weird that one of the main relationships the show focuses on is between a high school freshman girl and a guy who is at least 25 with a room full of school girl outfits. Thank god for those beautiful sunsets; they can make anything good in the right light.

Actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be from what everyone says about it. It’s not as wonderfully eighties as Part I but it tells a pretty good self-contained story that still connects to the earlier works. In many ways it’s similar to the other OVA’s that came out in that [...]

The direction, the plot, the music, the tea fetishism, everything about his show is awesome. It is very much like Legend of the Galactic Heroes - what with having the same author, direction, studio, etc. after all - but there are still unique touches that mark this as a different work. The power play among [...]

Let me clarify that statement by saying that when I first watched ef as it aired I thought that the “love stories” it contained were trite, superficial, and above all boring. Lo and behold my finishing the series didn’t change my opinions, though I will admit that ef does climaxes so well I almost forget [...]

I still like the original game OP better. I’m also wondering how Chaos;Head, a game that came out not even a year ago, got an anime adaption before Jingai Makyou, Gekkou no Carvevale, Saya no Uta, Gore Screaming Show, etc. (well, the reason why Gore Screaming Show isn’t an anime is probably clear, but I [...]

Is the most eighties thing I have seen yet, even more so than Do You Remember Love? and Zeta Gundam. The show itself basically says that the eighties were the most perfect time in human history for piece and love. Apparently no one remembers the Reagan presidency, but for a bubble-boom Japan I guess things [...]

1. Needs a snappier title than Gundam 00 Second Season. G00SS is not a viable alternative. 2. I’m not completely sure if I’m watching a new gundam or just rewatching Zeta. A-Laws (it’s a pun, get it?) as fascist military? Check. Louis as an artificial newtype? Check. Can’t wait to see her Rosamia impression. 3. G00 apparently [...]

From entertainment value alone I loved it. Everything a good space opera finale, and more importantly a Macross finale should be: Planes, lasers, music, and tons of hot-blooded yelling all thrown into one big pot of awesome. SMS’s Captains little manly speech was cool enough, but add with everything else it was just a footnote. [...]

Is it wrong that I actually want Lelouch to be dead? I agree that there’s stuff pointing to both interpretations, but that was too good of a death scene to waste on him just being alive. Lelouch’s bloody body sliding down to a chained and downright tortured looking Nunally was particularly gruesome yet beautiful in [...]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is everything its name claims it to be, and no legend about heroes is complete without the tragic hero. Even before Shakespeare stories about Hercules and Oedipus Rex showed the fascination people have with great men falling from great heights. It is only fitting that the final season of LOGH [...]
