Proving just how much they love filling my email, Crunchyroll has sent out multiple press releases for multiple series that have been added to their simulcasts. Today's victims include Natsu no Arashi and Asura Cryin'. Both are the season seasons of shows Crunchyroll already releases, so it shouldn't surprise anyone to see the dice fall as they may. Though, while neither of these shows rocked my world from what I saw, I still enjoy waving my hands in the air and clapping for more simulcasts.

Oh of course Crunchyroll is going to add another new simulcast mere SECONDS after I’m done posting an update about their latest additions. >.< Anyways, another new simulcast has been added to the fall lineup over at Crunchyroll with Asura Cryin 2 premiering on the site starting tomorrow (September 30th) at 7pm Pacific. Unlike the previous [...]

The battle over the Igniter involved hostages and some real sacrifice. Kagakagari returned with another plan that of course ended up dragging Tomoharu and Misao into danger. Impressions: Well the series managed to end on a fairly tragic note. Considering the tone of some of the series I didn’t expect a sacrifice like that to be made. [...]

Get it? “Asura Cryin’?” For cryin’ out lo- okay forget it. Asura Cryin’ Another good title for this anime could have been, Asura Cryin’: A Tale of Two Anime, because my thoughts and opinions on the first several episodes differed a LOT when compared to the final few episodes. I wish J.C. Staff did this anime, they [...]

It’s old news by now, but school action fantasy anime Asura Cryin’ is getting another season. As far as shows go, it was completely unremarkable, at points even downright inane.  But I (and more than enough other people, it seems) just kept on watching.  I blame the pretty females. But one aspect that I’ve been especially [...]

I know it’s lame, but when I see scenes like this I can only think, “The children…!”.  Subtle penis jokes can be funny, but this one was a pretty blatant robotic boobjob in a show that’s been otherwise softcore with only minor boob closeups or fogged up naked shots. [...]

Gakuto Mikumo and Nao Watanuki’s 『Asura Cryin’ / アスラクライン』 will have its 2nd Season which was announced right after the last episode of the anime. It is adapted from the light-novels Asura Cryin’ by Gakuto Mikumo and Nao Watanuki. Synopsis (1st Season): Tomoharu is a normal high school student… except for he’s not alone. Haunted by the ghost [...]

   Feh. Whatever. Impressions: Well, as a finale, this blew. About half the episode was spent on landing the plane and they raised more new questions while answering absolutely none. However, it did end with an announcement of season 2 (in October if the official site is to be believed) and basically a next episode preview so, uh… well… [...]

At the close of this week’s episode, it was announced that Asura Cryin will be the third series from this year’s spring anime premieres to be renewed for a second season (the others being Queen’s Blade and Sengoku Basara). As has become standard with these announcements, a fall premiere date was announced but no other [...]

I’ve always told I watch Asura Cryin’ for the laughing, without expecting too much, but even I was surprised by the 11th episode. Particularly, by the following scene. That kind of reminds me of a certain gif animation… By the way, there was one more great moment. Truly. Related posts:Most disturbing part of Asura Cryin’The 100th Post.

This arc was pretty good since it brought forward the meaning of the show’s name and hinted at some future troubles. All of the akuma in the city would have been killed if Kagakagari wasn’t stopped. It also showed just how far people are willing to go for those they care about. In the end [...]

  "Hey baby, want a taste of my Ignitor?" Impressions: Let’s see if I have the opening sequence right. Tomo is entwined with Nia, both grunting and straining, the golden sausage king actually holds an Asura machine plug-in which appears to be a giant dildo inside its bulging protrusion, and the dildo is magnetically attracted to Takatsuki’s [...]

  I knew it. I bloody knew it. Blame a particularly vexing Sudoku for why I’m actually awake and amped up enough at this hour to feel up to watching this episode. Impressions: I already declared victory at the suppository episode, but this just cements it. Keizou Kusakawa cannot direct a show without inserting either Nanoha or half-naked burly [...]

Asura Cryin’ can be praised for very original character design. Indeed, no other character ever had such a crappy hair cut. That’s what I want to do everytime I watch Asura: No related posts. No related posts.

The animation is steadily getting worse and worse as we progress through the season.     Now, separately, these may appear to be good in terms of animation, but If you look at Kanade in the back, the door literally goes through her, or it should. Look how far back she is. This si just horrible. I used [...]
