Hah…sword that steals divinity and a tablet that steals a god’s weapon. Three guesses where that’s going. So apparently our main character Kusanagi Godou is going to become a God Slayer. The guy basically has the power of a God…sounds great, right? I imagine this show will go into how much that sucks. Based on [...]

My future family portrait, I’m sure. To be honest the Summer season’s start caught me at a very bad time as for the past week I’ve been working 10 hour shifts, and will be spending the weekend doing overtime as well. All thanks to our brilliant sales division taking new orders in despite there being [...]

Summer is officially here with a slew of new series that aired last night but first it’s time to take a look at the pre-aired episode of Campione! and the first episode of La storia della Arcana Famiglia, two anime which hold many similarities two each other in terms of settings, genre and my [...]

Initial impression – it has my attention…now it has to hold it Summer 2012 (?? episodes) (title literal translation from Italian – Champion) (more info) Campione is the story of Godou Kusanagi, an ordinary boy who gets thrown into a crazy, supernatural situation because of some ancient artifact he’s obtained and is expected to perform his role [...]

Ah, yes. Another one of these bad light novel adaptations. Honestly, I expected worse. I started watching this hoping to derive some twisted pleasure from making bad jokes about every single thing that would go wrong in this show (hey, … Continue reading →

It’s not quite a harem yet, but we all know where this is going. Campione follows the usual anime fare: Ordinary Japanese male encounters mysterious beauty, is whisked away to a world of magic and intrigue while collecting girls to … Continue reading →

Tari Tari Short Synopsis: Our lead character is an average high school student. Okay, since this undoubtedly is going to be compared to Hana-Saku Iroha, let me list the biggest difference between these two series right away: Tari Tari has no Ohana; the kind of character who foces herself on everyone’s problems and who keeps [...]

Campione starts off in Sardinia, an island off the coast of Italy, which I went on holiday last summer to. Hence I was all excited to see how their depiction of Sardinian life and architecture was like compared with my own experiences. Early impressions left me a bit high and dry through. Apart from one [...]

Shakugan no Shana part 18. People pull out swords and fight gods. But they’re invisible unless you have magic powers. Apparently the gods like to fight each other and our lead characters need to stop them from breaking things. I’ll … Continue reading →

  What’s with this year and magic horses? Pre-air special. Actual broadcast doesn’t begin until July 6th (Fridays). Impressions: Let’s start with what this show did great. It has some really nice CG cars. They didn’t look bad at all. Sure, they’re still CG cars, but compared to the blocky abysmal affairs usually found in anime, [...]

Well we’ve finished translating 1st volume and it’s a summer anime, so here’s the review! Sikorsky really isn’t the best illustrator, but he gets better. I wasn’t particularly impressed by Campione! when my friend first dragged me onto the project, its first chapter opening up like a typical harem romance-comedy and the second featuring a [...]

Available now is the first preview clip of "Campione!", a series which based on the PV, looks to be no different than any other generic fantasy anime about a busty heroine and sword wielding male protagonist.
