Four years have passed since the last episode. Due to his aiding Nezumi, he was kicked out of Chronis, the area of No. 6 where the highly qualified individuals live in luxury, and moved to the “Lost Town” part of … Continue reading →

If that title didn’t stop you from reading this post, then I really don’t know what will. Our opening scene is basically gunshots and armed men chasing a blue haired kid who’s obviously injured. Soon it becomes obvious that they’re running in the sewers (or a large drain, for that matter), and that is left  [ Read More ]

Girls in the future are quite straightforward. So this will be the second show I’m picking up this season, after Usagi Drop, mainly because I love the dystopian sci-fi setting in No. 6. Hopefully No. 6 will make better use … Continue reading →

I’ve never been much of a thrillseeker, but I find thrillseekers to be kind of interesting. The feeling of toying with danger right on the edge of no return is fascinating to me; it goes against every instinct we have, but the rush from escaping a dangerous situation with one’s life intact is enough to [...]

No. 6 is one of the more ambitious projects of the season, second only to Mawaru Penguindrum. Garnering attention for the conspicuous BL undertones as well, it’s become one of the heavy hitters of the summer season for a myriad of reasons. It also has a well presented story, showing just a few things off [...]

Sorry for the post delay; I wasn't really paying attention during my first watch, so here it is. For me, it's pretty much obligatory to try any anime that's in the Noitamina timeslot. Though I honestly wasn't very interested in this title prior to its airing, the first episode left me wanting to know more. As far as the technical aspects of the show goes, the animation is pretty high quality,

Shion has a seemingly perfect life, but something’s off. Although No.6, the city Shion resides in, seems to have everything a person could possibly want, it doesn’t quite come across as bliss. Supposedly, a great war from long ago destroyed … Continue reading →

And arrives the second noitaminA show of the season, No. 6.  This is show is kind of a change of pace for me.  I typically steer away from shows like this, but the premise of this one sounded interesting enough to check out (especially given the other choices available). I’m rather wide open on my [...]

I don’t really care who made this show or what time slot this premiers in. I’m more interested in who the show (adapted from a novel) is made for and [...]

Alright, Thursday has passed. You know what that means? Noitamina. No, not both shows, at least not in this post. Usagi Drop is safely in the hands of Bass, but I’m again covering the new anime in the Noitamina high-concept, adventure slot, No. 6. Can it do better than its last two lackluster predecessors? Additionally, [...] Related posts:Sofuteni [First Impressions] Ro Kyu Bu! 01 [First Impressions] Sket Dance [First Impressions]

Berserk is a series that impressed me more as it went along. The first episode is just OK; however, when it gets into the flashback that comprises 99 percent of the series, that’s when the show really gets rolling and never stops getting better, right up until the very end. Unlike a lot of people, [...]
