[Impressions] Moving ahead, Tsuwabuki and Akihime feels awkward in school, this episode focuses mainly on the relationship between the both of them, the awkward moments between the both of them were amusing but yet sweet. Towards the 2nd part of the episode, we get to see Sumomo with another new skill as she battles it [...]

This girl is half his age. Don’t stand. Don’t stand. Don’t stand so close to me. So after that rather quaint little camping trip the kids are back in school. Sumomo and Tsuwabuki are awkward as ever, but now Tsuwabuki is getting idea in his head. Dangerous ideas…

Whoa calm down it’s not like you guys cause a nuclear melt down. I like how even when gripped by tension Nako-chan is bolting towards Sumomo. I am at a loss for words. This is a girly show right? The kind that guys don’t normally watch right? So I know that this is based off [...]

Adorable things calm my nerves. You know Sumomo looks like she has a mace…and is about to bludgeon Asperas-san. Maybe it’s the general hatred that I feel regarding School Days, but for some reason in the absence of some more Moetan this series seems to be a bit more lovable than before. At any rate my [...]

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but the opening animation for Nanatsuiro Drops (”Shining stars bless” performed by Kaori Utatsuki) makes me feel all hanyaa~n and quite incapable of using the vast majority of my vocabulary in describing it, other than “cute” and “sparkly”. The overall feel is that of a Typical [...]

Hold still puny sheep creature, the anal probing has not been completed. Well while waiting for School Days 2, curiosity got the better of me yet again, despite the fact that Moe-tan is thus far the superior mahou shoujo series. At any rate last we say Yuki-chan was getting awfully comfy in Akihime’s bed.

One thing which I’ve noticed since I started actually being a part of fandom, identifying myself as an anime fan, is that I appear to have a higher than usual tolerance of the more saccharine parts of anime. Reading reviews which slam a series for being “too cutesy” or “too sweet”, I have to stare [...]

Yuki-chan can go to the 2nd level of hell. As for excitement, Jedi do not crave such things. So I am still waiting for the first sub of School Days curiosity struck me and I took a look at Nanatsuiro Drops. Suffice to say I was underwhelmed though I haven’t passed full judgment yet. In other [...]

The Good: Itou Noiji designs, fairly good production values The Bad: Another reason to throw me in the slammer This show is pretty moe. All the girls have real big Itou Noiji eyes and everything is all colourful and stuff. The animation is fairly good, and does justice to the designs. Given production quality of this episode, [...]

…but I will anyway. Because the new season’s started, it’s the first show I’ve seen in English to download, and I liked it more than I thought I would! At least so far, and given its genre combination (harem/dating sim + mahou shoujo). They found a way to combine both male AND female [...]

Nanatsuiro Drops I wasn’t hugely impressed with this one, although it did make me laugh a few times, but I wasn’t expecting much anyway. If anything, the art is cute. It might be decent and I do like mahou shoujo anime, so I’ll see if it gets any better. The plot is rather absurd, as it [...]

Opening Sequence: OP: “Shining Star Bless☆” by Utatsuki Kaori
Read the rest of this entry Entry meta

As various spring series come to a close or reach their halfway point, so signals the start of the summer season! The first series that I checked out was Nanatsuiro Drops. When I first heard about Nanatsuiro Drops -and the tens of times after that- the phrase “Character designs by Noizi Ito” seemed to be a [...]

Shigurui The first season I checked out for the summer-season, and I think I’ve already found my favourite OP of the season. I love artsy OPs like this one, that do something else than just “oh, let’s display the different characters in a cool or sad way and add some random music to it”, not to [...]

OP: “Shining stars bless☆” by Kaori Utatsuki - I find this song pretty catchy. I like it, in the generic mahou shoujo/h-game adaption pop song type way anyways. KOTOKO wrote it though, so that’s a plus. The animation is also pretty standard, showing all of the characters in the series.
