…is also a song of death. And goth anthems sung by Rei Ayanami clones. This episode spends some time pulling things back and explaining what’s going on. Takumi is confirmed to have some kind of precognitive ability, more or less; what’s still not clear is whether he is literally self-fulfilling his own prophecies or not, and [...]

My final first impressions post comes late because I’m not watching anime. Fancy that. I’ve been really busy. I’m thinking I’ll pick something up that’s getting subbed on a timely basis to blog episodically again. It keeps me regulated at least. I’m also thinking about branching out into anime news and other related subjects as [...]

You thought you could get away, Taku? First and foremost, sorry for not updating on this quickly. This post is alreay like, almost a week off schedule. I’ve been preoccupied with damn projects. But not is not the time to complain. Now, for the preview!!! 1st development: Takumi meets the pink-haired girl, but still terrified with the [...]

I wouldn’t wish illness on anyone but several days off work has allowed me to recharge my batteries a bit (despite living off canned soup and green tea for four days straight) and has done wonders for tackling my backlog. My two-episode rule still stands, which is a bit of a limitation: the subbers pull [...]

Thoughts This series is looking to be a 12 episode elongation of Higurashi’s first arc.  Except, we know that some of Takumi’s visions are actually delusions.  I find it interesting that Takumi, himself, understands that he has delusions, yet does nothing about it. The episode was rather tense and covered a lot.  A lot of big questions [...]

Those eyes, whose eyes are they? I finally watched Chaos;Head after hearing from some friends of mine that Chaos;Head was interesting. Caught it today, and I’m impressed with the anime, would be watching this on my watchlist(Damn, so many are on my watchlist at the moment! O_O) Nishijo Takumi is an otaku fanboy. He has an [...]

I’m starting to wonder whether I’m watching too many series this season! Vampire Knight Guilty Vampire Knight is already back for another round! There is absolutely no change since the first season, all we get is a whole bunch of vampire angst! We have a new opening and ending, but they are both by the same artists [...]

Ok, so I am very confused here about the OP animation to this show. I had heard this was kind of like Higurashi from a friend but the OP features girls with swords flying around and an a emo looking main character. Lol what? - So, wow, what a strong first episode that just pulled me into [...]

I finished the Chaos;Head game earlier tonight. I’m not really in a proper state of mind to write a review of it at the moment, but I will later. Anyway, I then watched the first episode of the anime adaptation. It does some rather silly things, which I will discuss in this post. By the way, this [...]

Welcome to the NHK! meets Higurashi meets Perfect Blue–does it work? I think I’ll have to say yes, for now. What we have so far is a little bit like Satoshi Kon territory: a story about the blurring between reality and fantasy (delusional fantasy, in this case), and like in Higurashi the most innocent looking things [...]

The horror genre isn’t one of my more favorite genres. I like the occasional psychological suspense title but anything that’s considered a gore-fest I steer clear of. This show was billed as a psychological suspense so I had to give it a go. Rating: 11/12 A+ Takki, our obsessed anime otaku, lives by himself in a shipping [...]

Yes, at last. The first episode of Chaos;Head has aired… hmm, a few days ago. That’s right, I’m slow with getting materials. But anyhow, moving on with the preview. Preview! But before that, some impressions about the series. I’ll still put it here, even though some of you will browse down anyway. At first, I thought this [...]

EMO RAEG and hikikomori hallucinations aside, two things stood out in Chaos;Head - 1. High quality backgrounds (click for enlargement): 2. Coke! and lots of it : Anyways, C;H is pretty interesting if you can stand the wimpy-emo-loser-hallucinating male lead.

I still like the original game OP better. I’m also wondering how Chaos;Head, a game that came out not even a year ago, got an anime adaption before Jingai Makyou, Gekkou no Carvevale, Saya no Uta, Gore Screaming Show, etc. (well, the reason why Gore Screaming Show isn’t an anime is probably clear, but I [...]

This show is mine, betch. Well, where to start? I have so many good things to say about this episode and I am so excited to follow this series that I haven’t a clue where to begin. I watched it in several five minute snippets while rushing back and forth from the kitchen to cook my [...]

One of the final shows to premiere this season. Only Michiko to Hachin’s left to complete my “Impressions” series. Chaos;Head is probably the show I have the highest hopes for to succeed and considering the impressions I’ve heard about the source material, also likely the one to have a higher chance of falling flat if they [...]
