Boys and girls, it’s finally here. Bee Train presents Blade of the Immortal, in style. A suiting image, for a badass series. Slice ‘n Dice I will not lie.

Highlights: Overglorifies its own setting Overall Enjoyment Value: 6/10 This sort-of reminds me of Prism Ark, and although I admit that the writing is more solid, it does have the same weaknesses. At least there’s no country named “The Untied Kingdom” [...]

  Goddammit, I needed my ears. Impressions: For maximum enjoyment of the show, I highly suggest you navigate to the mute button and press it as hard as possible. Hell, you may want to just sever your ears to make sure that you’re safe from this one. The musical direction is simply horrendously terrible. They’re trying [...]

With the new anime adaptation starting in just under a week, Bee Train has posted the character designs for the show, perhaps so that those who worry about whether they’ll be able to capture Hiroaki Samura’s breathtaking art can get an idea. Honestly, I think that based on the character designs, it’s safe to have high [...]

I’m writing this first to get it out of the way, and because I don’t want “OMG Blade of the Immortal!” in the comment section of every preview post this summer. Get it out of your system…NOW! The [...]

Save for Yoshimura Akemi-sensei's Noraneko no Hanashi manga testing positive for XX chromosomes, it looks like another seinen/shōnen-dominated week next week, with the latest Indonesian release of Akamatsu Ken-sensei's Negima!

Well well, I honestly didn't see this coming. Not only the drawing style of the manga will be ruined when animated but such hardcore content usually gets watered down upon TV airing. It will air this summer at AT-X apparently. Director: Mashimo Kouichi..글 전체보기
