Nice ep, I say. Aside from the basic, farfetched-but-true tidbits coming from random points, the show mainly focused on how Katagiri Yuuhi tries to blend into the Nagase household. Yukata Yuuhi is fine, too. The usual fight ensues between Junichi and Yuuhi, with Minanoha-neesama (YES! IT’S A NANOHA CLONE!) being always at the neutral corner, though sometimes [...]

Okay…as you know this anime is basically called Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka. Some background info, its opening song is “Hatsukoi Parachute (初恋パラシュート)” by Miyuki Hashimoto and ending song is “Sweet Gift” by Rie Kugimiya. This anime basically follows the Romance genre, and the setting of school life romance is basically the basics. One weird thing though…in the first opening scene [...]

Speaking Rie Kugimiya, here’s another show that features her along with another of my favorite voice actresses, Aya Hirano. This would normally get me excited for the show but this time they’re appearing in a eroge game adaption. This type of show really isn’t my cup of tea but I figured that I’d give it [...]

2 seconds in: Why am I watching this? At the opening:  I will say 1 thing about anime: the studios should NEVER try to use feather coloring on the characters, solid cell coloring works much better. If feathering didn’t look good on Code Geass promotional images and Sheryl’s hair, then there’s no way that it’d look [...]

Wai!!! Aya-chan is imouto chara (Minato)! Kawaii! Or rather, she’s now gentler and cuter Konata. But…I was utterly confused at the beginning, I mean, what the hell? And that seems to actually play a role (I’m sure those of you who played the game already know why). Kugimi’s voices seems kind of bland to me - now she sounds [...]

Toradora! The series didn’t really hit me as anything amazing, but I did enjoy the episode while it lasted. It’s a pretty ridiculous concept that the main character is thought of as really mean only because of his looks, my only impression I got of him when I first saw him was that he looked kind [...]

First Impressions All I can say is “Huh?” and “What the…?”. Anyways, I was a bit confused at the beginning of this episode. All that Agent 007 stuff threw me off. At first I wondered if I was watching the right anime, but then the OP rolled in which made it clear that I was in [...]

I saw it coming…but I still felt it!! So we get yet another Visual Novel to anime, um, anime. And first episode is pretty much what you’ll expect from that type of anime. But despite it’s generic-ness, I thought it was pretty good and funny! Didn’t expect to actually laugh while watching this harem anime so [...]

New season, new anime shows! Let’s see what we’ve got so far: Shikabane Hime Aka: The first episode was really entertaining, albeit a bit bloody. The action scenes were of outstanding quality, and I must say I was at the edge of my seat when Makina, the Shikabane Hime, was fighting that huge vampire. Also, I find [...]

「あかね色のファーストキッス」 (Akane Iro no Faasuto Kisu) "Madder-Red First Kiss" First Glance: It's a little bit concerning when I can go through the cast list for a show and instantly recognize every single name on it (in Japanese) off the top of my head, but that's what we have here with Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka---quite possibly the romance comedy of the season.

Long story short, boy meets girl, does something stupid to said girl making her angry, and now boy has to live [...]
