What is going on?  First Majestic Prince, now this show?  Is episode eight the designated episode for bland shows to show out?  I’m not saying this is a great show, and the episode wasn’t spectacular either. But at least it had an interesting ending. The episode starts with Yogi, Tsukomo, Gareki and Nai going on […]

There’s a time for mourning in all things.  My buddy who loves the Office just had to cope with the fact that the show will only live on in syndication now (though I personally thought it should’ve ended years ago).  No longer will he be able to do his little guitar strumming bunny-hop to the […]

Sunshine Wings How they could even call this episode sunshine wings, I have no clue. It was rather, quite the opposite of a ray of sunshine.

So this is where the Gareki’s story and the Circus’s story meets (and definitely Nai’s as well. See that old man there, Erisyuka’s grandfather?). When we looked into Gareki’s past a couple of episodes back, it was pretty clear where … Continue reading →

Clown’s Prescription Everything seems to be fitting into place, bit by bit like a puzzle piece… And actually, I think Karneval is turning out to be quite different than I imagined it to be. With Varuga found in Gareki’s home village, yet even more blood and tears are shed… What can I say? My predictions [...]
