And if I hear “onii-chan president” one more time, I may be forced to punch a kitten.

Between studying for midterms (reason for the lack of pictures but next time, I promise) and stuffing my face with cake, I decided to watch this one first out of the few I plan to watch for this fall 2007 season. The elements of this show bring to mind: Ghost Hunt, Chrno Crusade and [...]

Prism Ark 02 Hyaweh is such an awesome playa. Man, the way he subdued Priecia definitely deserves respect, playing her around like that. He’s like Simon with +50 charisma points towards girls lol. Well, he definitely needs that level of skill to handle the Utawarerumono-grade harem he’s gonna collect. Still, the whole show just kinda stinks [...]

Rental Magica’s premise is, like, my cup of tea: shounen actions with lots of cute girls, and the girls do have massive firepower. Now, add sorcery, familiar beasts, and rocket broomstick, and it should be just plain win. However, the first episode didn’t impress me that much.

…something that looks like a combination of Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist. This looks like the shounen action show with more style than substance, much like Black Cat. At least it’s easy on the eyes with some of the better character design in all the new season’s offerings.

The show opens with the Astral team of magicians trying to set up a barrier to hold in an abandoned dog demon. The President, Iba Itsuki, is the weak-point as he isn’t a trained magician like the others and consequently, serves as more of a hindrance, which is used by a rival magician who dispatches [...]

It seems like Rental Magica had no/little love from the few raw viewers who have watched it already. Nevertheless, I will reserve my judgment of the show until I reviewed it, also because I love for you to read my thoughts as well (even though they generally do not make that much sense compared to [...]

Minami-Ke Maybe it’s just because I fully expected to be bored out of my mind by this, but it’s actually pretty decent. The characters have some interesting quirks without being flat-out sterotypes and there were a couple of funny moments. I don’t know if I’m going ot continue with this, but I wouldn’t rule it out [...]

Rental Magica Okay, so this one turned into the shounen-version of Ghost Hunt, with slightly less-impressive production-values. Unfortunately, this one screwed up in a lot of areas, and the characters are nowhere as interesting as with Ghost Hunt. For starters, the director likes action way too much, and the action-scenes themselves aren’t impressive at all: it’s [...]
