All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His [...]

I predict that everyone will die in Katanagatari, including its fanbase, me included. Why ? Albeit episode 7 being by far the most epic episode in Katanagatari, everything is slated to die and decay. The first thing I see is that the quality is dying. The animation style seems to be hit heavily by a [...]

Yeah I’m skipping ep6 – was in too much pain to write anything at the time, and now I don’t really feel like writing about it; twas a fairly dull episode and I hate loli’s as a knee jerk reaction….so yeah, straight onto ep7 we go! This month’s sword is Akutou Bita, but the main [...]

Well, the graphics really were all over the place in this episode. It’s a shame to see that the budget for this series is starting to run out, because this episode was full off models, the characters were suddenly drawn with incredibly thick lines, and a lot of the fights boiled down to people moving [...]

Episode 07 -「悪刀 鐚」(Akutō Bita) It’s episode seven of Katanagatari now! So, what does that mean? Well, if you pay close attention to the name of the two siblings, Shichika(鑢七花) and Nanami Yasuri(鑢七実), they both contained the Kanji representing the number seven. However, even though it may look like a lucky number, if you watched the [...]
