I hope you’re not lactose intolerant, because this is apparently going to be one legendary show. Obligatory How I Met Your Mother reference aside, I decided to give reviewing this show a shot after watching its surprisingly decent trailer that raised my expectations. Despite its pretty stupid name that still may grow on me, I [...]

Another couple of new shows today - High School of the Dead and Legend of the Legendary Heroes. High School of the Dead (Gakuen Mokushiroku) Glad that High School of the Dead seems to know what it is and where its going. Basically this show is all about tits & ass with lots of gratuitous [...]

So flat, it’s good. Summer is upon us. As usual, I will try to cover as many shows as possible for your reading pleasure! Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-tachi Summary in a paragraph Ookami is a deliciously flat chested bishoujo that is wild, strong and powerful and we saw it through fighting off a delinquent who was stalking her [...]

  I kind of wish they ripped Slayers off more though… Impressions: This is apparently going to be going a mostly slapstick route, complete with the occasional breaking of the fourth wall for gags. It’s almost like it’s trying to be the gender-swapped version of Slayers, with the ‘evil’ snarky mage a male, the blonde swordsman a female… and just cheeky [...]

The plot summary sounded a bit cliché, and the preview still hasn't convinced me unlike Highschool of the Dead's preview. Still, this anime is on my list and I'll probably blog it... of course, when I have time. Even a kid like me is busy.

The new trailer focuses mostly on action and animation presentation (a change from the longer trailers which focused on story and character introduction). I’ve [...]

Word from Moon Phase this morning is that a new anime adaptation of a light novel series is in the works. This time around it's fantasy novels Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu, which translates to something like the Legend of Legendary Heroes, written by Takaya and illustrated by Saori Toyota. The novel series is published in the seinen light novel mag Dragon, which also publishes Slayers, Full Metal Panic!, and the newly-animated Omamori Himari (review pending).As for the story, it takes place in the royal empire of Roland, where a unique student named Raina Ryuuto (that's a direct transliteration; I'm not sure if there's an official romanization yet) lazes away, uncaring about his studies...until he gets mixed up in a war between Roland and a rival nation, Estabule.No word on a "when" for the show, but it sure sounds...legendary.
