First Impressions Another guy, another genius detective girl, and more mysteries. It doesn’t sound that interesting, does it? In fact, on paper it just sounds like Gosick without the loveable Victorique to make things better. And yet…this episode went completely beyond my expectations. First of all, I like Huey. He doesn’t freak out and ask [...] Related posts:Kami-sama no Memo-chou 01 [First Impressions] Nekogami Yaoyorozu 01 [First Impressions] Ikoku Meiro no Croisee 01 & Sacred Seven 01 [First Impressions]

My second show for this season is out and surprisingly I started working on the review very fast! Dantalian No Shoka caught my eye for its art and its plot concept so as soon as I saw this on the Summer catalogue I knew I had to cover this! Hopefully, GAINAX won’t fail to meet  [ Read More ]

I generally tend to play it pretty safe lately as far as what anime I pick up to watch. In other words, going with the anime that isn’t likely to be spectacular, just something that is good, funny, and a clichéd story. Now, I still very much enjoy those anime, the typical school/romance/comedy can be [...]

Rambling about the first episode of the anime series Dantalian no Shoka featuring wallpapers from our lovely Dalian!

Well that was fairly interesting, despite the reading-books battle part. Miyukichi looks set to really shine in here, with her haughty voicing of Dalian that I’ve not heard since her Shinku in Rozen Maiden. But surprisingly, Ono Daisuke is the show-stealer here with his cool portrayal of Huey. A male protagonist that doesn’t complain or [...]

「仕掛け絵本」 (Shikake Ehon) "Rigged Picture Book" Whenever a new GAINAX series hits the airwaves, that's still an event for me - though not as much as it used to be. And I suspect the number of us who feel that way is no longer as large as it was. Whatever it means now, this is still the studio that gave us Evangelion, FLCL and Tengen-Toppa Gurren-Lagann, and even if I'm chasing ghosts, I still get a little thrill of excitement at the prospect of something new from them.

I have tremendous hopes for Dantalian no Shoka. (Officially titled Bibleothecha mystica de Dantalian.) It has a large mix of genres, a cute purply goth-girl and something the creators have [...]

Episode 01- Hoho, and it looks like last of my first impressions posts for this Summer Season will be a positive one. Right off the bat, I’ll say that Dantalian no Shoka is similar in setup to Gosick, with a smart detective-like girl working together with the main protagonist. However, let’s just say a good [...]
