Did I enjoy Tadayasu & co. in Paris? Well, yes! Misato and Kawahama really nailed it when they said they’re not here for Hasegawa, but Tadayasu wants to get her back to Japan. Learned a thing or two about foie gras (aside from what some people say that it is from the liver of a force-fed duck — that it’s very expensive) and microbes who are living in the stratosphere and underground. Quite a normal episode, it seems. I was able to learn a thing or two about Microbes again. Creators, keep adding those bits of information about them so I won’t get bored and cut this one off my /watchlist/ — that is the only thing I enjoy in this series. Not Kei, not Tadayasu, but the microbes.

Only three monthsago I was a weekend in Paris for a holiday, so it was kindof nice to see it in animated form. And some parts of this episode definitely rang home to me, like how on one hand it profiles itself as this hip charming city, yet still is full of merchandizing stuff, how [...]

After all of their hard work and efforts, the harvest festival comes to an end with some stalls scrabbling to get rid of the rest of their stock to end its final night as per tradition, while those behind "Aoi's Bar" have a chance to enjoy the feeling of superiority that comes from winning the contest to be the most profitable stall as they plan on who will be involved in rescuing Haruka, and how

As with any massive social gathering where its members share some similar attributes, a herd mentality develops.  Such a phenomenon develops because certain actions, behaviors, and ideas cause other, more impressionable members, to be influenced into acting, behaving, or thinking in a certain way.  Provided that Sawaki, Yuuki, and Oikawa are freshmen entering into this [...]

「チームワーク」 (Chiimuwaaku) "Teamwork" A lively episode, a fanservice high episode, but why do I end up covering shows that involve saliva in some way?

I have nothing concrete to say about Natsuyuki Rendezvous 6, instead all I have are questions. It’s not fair play for Shimao to inhabit Ryuusuke’s body and make moves on her in the first place, but is it really fair to present to Rokka a combination of the two? Rokka’s falling faster for this dual [...]

So, that last episode where I ranted badly was a CLIFFHANGER. Also, that moment with KyokoTan — I understand that it was a move to get lots of $$$ to bring back Hasegawa… but that thing where Haruka and Kei went Cosplaying for funds, it’s understood. Not to mention, Kei in a secret organization. They call one of their devices “Wiretap-kun”. So badass. Let me rant more - go and make a comment in the post.

You can see the rage in my eyes. This is awful. I can count the guards using my fingers. They are no match for 525600 housewives who want free stuff. It’s like 1 guard is to 26280 housewives. SNAP. On the other hand, the two dickheads are planning to sell saliva. What’s my reaction? SHIT. Well, I’m looking forward to watch the next episode.

As we return to the harvest festival for this sixth episode of Moyashimon Returns, we find the first day of said festival coming to a close, with "Aoi's bar" having proved to be a roaring success thanks to the intervention of Aya to keep things running smoothly. This is, however, only the beginning of the event, as once the doors are closed to the public there's a whole other show in town - in

Hmm, this school festival arc in the end didn’t really work. It had a purpose: raising enough money to get to France, but the way in which it did it was uninspired and stereotypical. The thing is that in the first episodes of this season, I praised this series for nailing college life. This episode… [...]

Returning home after a lengthy vacation always means a pile of responsibilities waiting for you, in addition to the even larger pile of anime that needs to be watched.  Because of this, among other oddities and obligations, let’s revisit the episodes from the previous week and see what significant or interesting events ensued. Moyashimon Returns [...]

It might be pointless to include these title screenshots since I can’t capture the translation along with it, but I’m going to keep doing it anyways because I feel like it. In other news, I was thinking of participating in the blog carnival, but I probably won’t. I’m kind of a loner in the aniblogosphere, [...]

Holy shit, I’m actually writing a new post? And it’s a Readers’ Pick one? Clearly, the end is nigh. In all seriousness, I actually am sorry that I’m so behind on these. I didn’t want to make the same mistake I did with the Saki ones, but I did anyways. Damn I suck. My plan [...]

Ah, another school festival arc. The second series this season that has a school festival that takes up multiple arcs. Unfortunately, this is such an overused backdrop that every series that uses it needs to have something that makes it stand out. Moyashimon comes with mexican liquor and housewives. To be honest, this was probably [...]

Hasegawa is missing, and the college's harvest festival looms large over the horizon - it looks like a stressful time ahead for our bacteria-loving students, especially given that Kawahama and Misato seem to be up to something as per usual. Now, I remember a fair few harvest festivals from my childhood, but nothing quite prepared me for the horrific visions delivered by a harvest festival,

….. never underestimate the horror of housewives on their way to get free fresh produce. This reminds me of that “Boar” back in Ben-To… only on a massed, zergling-rush scale. ©2012 Kurogane's Anime Blog. All Rights Reserved..
