After the first episode, I was pretty sure that I’d end up blogging this series. The second episode of Kurenai is less impressive then the first one, but that’s only natural. If you’re going to start with a bang, you obviously need to take things easy in the second episode so that the characters can [...]

Since the second episode just popped up on tosho, I thought I would tell you what I thought of the first episode of Kurenai. In this episode, we basically set up the fact that the protagonist, Shintaro, has some sort of power (which can cause him problems at times) which allows him him to take on [...]

The spring anime season is well under way, my blogging, however, is not, haha. I guess this is the downside of heading into new seasons blindly, on one hand there are no expectations when viewing newly released series, but on the other, it leaves me with little idea of what to write about. But I [...]

1) Murasaki is sassy and haughty. Yes, that’s it. And I like it that way. kure-nai is an adaptation of a light novel series by Katayama Kentarou (interest piqued part the first), with animation production being done by Brains Base (interest piqued part the second) and directed by Matsuo Kou, who directed Rozen Maiden and Red Garden [...]

The face of rejection Continuing with watching anything with a “01″, I picked up Itazura na Kiss, ToLoveRu, and Kurenai. All which piqued my interest a bit. Itazura na Kiss is a romantic comedy anime, one of my favorite genres, so this one has a high chance of me continuing to watch. Also, it has that Mizuki [...]

Title: Kurenai Studio: Brains Base Genre: …Not really sure yet. Drama, I guess? Ratings (out of 5): Story: ♥♥♥

The rather unique OP sequence suggested that it would be a slice of life series set in a lodging house not unlike that of Love Hina. But the moment Kurenai began, it was quite apparent that the show would be extremely similar to Speed Grapher. Almost the same plot actually. Ultra-rich young girl locked up deprived [...]

Is it “kid messing up a young man’s life”? Is it “secret organization and assassination”? What is it? I don’t know. But I do know that the OP looked like South Park X Zetsubo Sensei. X CG (in whatever order you think is appropriate). The story involves some [...]

Allison to Lillia Ah, the first good series of the season. This episode was pretty solid; it started out as not anything special, but as it went on, it became more interesting by the minute, and this is just the first episode. You can really see the influences of both Mokke and Kino no Tabi, and [...]

In English, the title means “In a Distance Time 3: Crimson Moon”. A pretty title, somewhat poetic, as fitting for an anime that is adapted from a game very popular among females. This OVA is an hour long animation that has no beginning, no ending, and a lot of pretty men. Not a very attractive [...]

I love the tagline of this series, "People become stronger when they find someone they ought to protect". rawr, so GAR xD Not too long ago, I pointed out Kurenai as one of the animes I'm looking forward to in the Spring Lineup. Yes, I'm looking that far ahead. Although I don't have the actual novel in my hands, I managed to find it *cough* somewhere else *cough* It took me weeks of perseverance, to keep me from buying the novels on impulse. I thought hard, wondering if it'll be worth my time and money, considering the pile of unread mangas and novels (*cough* Saiunkoku *cough*) I have. I browsed through the novels again, supposedly for dispelling my excitement (the want-to-buy-it kind of excitement) for it, only to end up failing to resist it more orz.

This Haruka Naru Toki no Naka 3 de special is similar to the Haruka Naru Toki no Naka TV series, as it’s about a ordinary high school high that gets transported and transcends space and time, to a land that is foreign to her. The bishounen harem that surrounds Nozomi Kasuga seems to have different [...]

The official site for the upcoming anime TV series kure-nai has been put online. It's only pre-opened for the moment so there's not a whole lot to be seen there other than some samples of the character designs. Will they look like that in the show? Most assuredly! They always do, after all. No idea [...]
