Oh Kaiba… how people will lavish over you. How you will stroke people’s brains and make them think about things. How you will bring together people. Okay, so enough of that. When I read one of the first reviews of Kaiba, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical. Call it Curmudgeon’s Law. Call it “Cameron is [...]

Warning-detailed plot summary follows, to avoid spoiler please scroll down to the episode review portion.       This episode picks up with the large ship now docked at a planet with the Sheriff (Vanilla) searching for the stowaways who have fled the ship in the escape pod. Just as the Hippo/Kaiba and helicopter creature are about to [...]

The philosophy of Kaiba can be roughly summarized as such: 1. The intellectual smart bloggers find Kaiba OMFGAWESOME and post horribly insightful comments on it. 2. I find Kaiba awesome and will post some horribly pretentious comment on it. 3. Therefore I am an intellectual smart blogger. Actually Kaiba is able to produce a cute character! On a more serious [...]

      Very seldom does an anime series just reach out and grab a hold of me these days, but for some reason Kaiba has just done that to me. After watching the first episode I had an inkling that this series just might be something special, but after watching the second episode of Kaiba I knew that this series just [...]

Okay, so while the introduction of weird accents didn’t exactly help my ability to understand this episode, I still loved every bit about this episode. Really, I’m trying to think of one part of this series that doesn’t stand out, but so far this series couldn’t have progressed better. I absolutely LOVE the pair of [...]

The fact that the next three in line, Kaiba, Kamen no Maid Guy and Kanokon, all begin with the same letter is pure coincidence by the way - I’m not trying to be clever or anything here. It’s the ‘Experimental Edition’ of my Spring 2008 first impressions: the first is itself experimental while the other [...]

Hige looks at the first two episodes of Kaiba and is somewhat enamored (mouse-over images for additional observations).

That was one of the strangest explorations of sexuality that I’ve ever seen in anime. Or, at least, it beats maid robots and right-hand girlfriends. Kaiba is, of course, all about the idea that memories and identities can be exchanged between bodies willy-nilly (well, if you have the money that is). The opening explanation makes that [...]

Hi, I’m the new THAT blogger. My anime blog, which only has 1 post on it before Impz recruited me, is here. I like anime. A lot. Now I am going to write about it. Originally, I was scared that the series wasn’t going to get subbed because it was so radically different from mainstream anime. [...]

Oh for Christ’s sake! This episode took freaking ages to show up on Share, and even longer to download. I really wonder: how popular is Kaiba in Japan anyways? I remember how even Kaze no Shoujo Emily didn’t run into these problems, and that series probably was one of the least viewed anime around at [...]

Our bodies, and not ourselves? This most unusual anime–if it can even be called that in the usual sense–is certainly intriguing, but it’s also far too early to tell what to make of it. Kaiba is brought to us by Madhouse, a studio known for both traditional works as well as the artsier fare of Satoshi [...]

Yes, that’s Kaiba in a nutshell for you! I just finished watching the first episode and all I have to say is “wow”. You’ll definitely never find anything like this again. When I first heard about this series being released for this season, I didn’t have much to say about it, but this is really [...]

     This new anime series is produced by Madhouse and it starts out with an unnamed boy/young man (on name yet) awaking in a chamber/room, he seems to have no memory of himself or how he got there. He soon notices that he has a hole going through the the center of his chest, and that he [...]

Having sold his body into prostitution (well, it apparently did have a massive schlong. I can’t believe I actually just typed that.), “Warp”’s memories have been transferred to a giant stuffed hippo named Kaba. Alongside the flying squid-thing that stowed away alongside him, Kaba meets another stowaway named Kochu. She dreams of [...]

Make no mistake: the drawings of Kaiba may be very simple but it’s also the show with the most mature themes of the spring-season. It’s only been two episodes, and we’ve already been treated to nudity, sex, adultery, murder, privacy violations, you name it. At the same time, it has also turned into my favourite [...]

Apologies, I know things have been quiet around here of late. While everyone gets so excited about all this new anime airing in Japan, I just get tired of it. There’s too much to watch, too much to read and too much to say. It tires me out just thinking about it, so, despite having [...]

OP - Never (Seira) - metamorphosing arms ahoy! The music is beautiful even if the slightly Engrishy singing is a little strange. ED - Carry Me Away (Seira) - another beautiful, strangely Engrishy song, and I think I prefer the animation to the OP; there’s a beautiful shot at the end with a plant flowering [...]
