Unfortunately for this one I’ve gotta make it quick. A very busy week in which I’ve pretty much only got 1 day of rest. So, I’ll cut to the chase and present to you Night Wizard’s opening theme. Kurenai by Ui Miyazaki. Not a brilliant reason for doing this particular song, but it’s because this [...]

Oh right, it’ll be Comiket season in a couple months. Time to start paying attention to doujin game sites again for anything that pops my interest. Apparently here, they announced a whole crapload of characters for the expansion when I wasn’t paying attention. Oh well, I’m mostly interested in the game for the OST at this point. I [...]

Sentai Filmworks announced today that it has licensed the anime series Kurenai. He’s only a teenager, but Kurenai Shinkurou is already both a master of an arcane martial art and an experienced professional mediator with a long track record of resolving disputes.  Not bad for someone who’s just sixteen and still in school, but everyone has [...]

        As usual, I’ve been slacking when it comes to Comiket stuff. The two promos above are Hitsuji Shitsuji Meat Sheep from Top Arts Plan, which formerly brought you that crazy-ass River City Ransom-esque Kunio-esque Touhou party brawler. Now it is making Meatboy clones with anthropomorphic baaing sheepgirls. It’s certainly a step sideways. The [...]

Warning: This is chock full of spoilers and walls of text. Apparently, I ranted to Rho enough to go beyond her threshold, and then she cunningly convinced me to blog about this so she would no longer have to listen. Devious. Here, I'll be offering my thoughts (supposedly, I have many of them) about series (that I just finished watching) that are a little too old to get proper reviews, but

Watching the first episode of this Kurenai OVA back in July was a bit of a tough one in many ways, with a hugely different art style from the anime I fondly remember while the story's manga form has clearly moved on a long, long way from where the anime left off.  Nonetheless, I kind of enjoyed the experience, so here I am again for the second of these two OVA episodes. As per the first half of

Why was this made? I mean, apart from completely raping the Kurenai TV-Series, perhaps? If I were someone who reads manga, this would totally take away any motivation I would have had to buy and check out the manga. Please, someone. Tell me that the manga is more than just this endless string of silly [...]

Has it really been too years since the rather wonderful Kurenai anime came to an end? To answer my own question, yes it has, but July and the fifth volume of the franchise's manga has brought us a one-shot OVA (there will be a second in December, incidentally) to allow us to revisit the series.This episode splits itself into three short stories, the first of which fills any kind of required

Well… yeah. As it turns out, this is aimed entirely at the fans of the manga. None of the things that made the anime so memorable return, and instead we’re stuck with an episode of random hi-jinks and fanservice. Blegh. In the end, this OVA turned out to consist out of three random, unrelated stories. [...]

Word over on Moon Phase is that a new OVA for the light novel series Kurenai, written by Kentarou Katayama and illustrated by Yamato Yamamoto, is in the works. Kurenai, which already got a TV anime adaptation in the spring of 2008, revolves around a young man named Shinkurou, a high school martial artist who works as a dispute mediator for the mysterious Benika, who winds up taking care of a 7-year-old heiress to an unusually traditional family. The anime, produced primarily by Brains Base (with names like Tatsunoko and Bee Train working key animation), was quite attractive and well-received, if not a mega-hit, so I'm betting a few of you will be excited to see this show. Unfortunately, Kurenai is something of a victim of backlash against the license-everything techniques some anime companies used in the early to mid-'00s, so it has yet to be licensed. Booooo.

Kurenai Shinkuro is a "dispute mediator" who is assigned the task of protecting Murasaki, a seven year old girl who was taken from her family, the Kuhoins. The Kuhoins are a very traditional family who operates a system where the women, after giving birth (to their siblings), are forced to stay in an inner sanctuary, and other women are brought in to raise the children and appear as their mother. This description might give an incorrect impression of what the series is .....

Fun Fact: This is actually my fourth attempt at watching Kurenai. Every time I’ve tried watching this show I would stop and forget about it just because I would soon get busy with other things. Least I was able to finish it this time. Yeah, Kurenai is an awesome watch all until the end. Love the [...]
