This week we finally see things come to a head between Muginami and Lan. I had suspected that Muginami was not a ditzy person but I had no idea she was just toying with Madoka and Lan. It kind of makes me question why she saved Lan but I guess that it is possible that [...]

Episode 05 - Rinne no Lagrange has been rather unique in some ways. While it has a lot of the makings of your stereotypical mecha anime, at the same time the show has some strong dialogue and engaging characters. The execution is surprisingly good, resulting in a solid anime that embraces the stereotypes for what [...]

This fifth episode of Rinne no Lagrange begins with a flashback/dream provided to us by Lan - an intriguing blend of happier times and sadness, made all the more confusing by Lan's irritation with herself on account of her dreaming about "the enemy".  But just who does she mean? Such matters aside, this instalment sees the unease and rivalry between Lan and Muginami continue - they might be

Holy crap. I mean it’s easy to just dismiss this show based on first looks. A bunch of girls piloting mechas to save aliens? That sounds completely generic. And yet the execution and direction are just so damn good here. I mean, this is the Fafner team of Xebec, working together with Tatsuo Sato, written [...]

  So side-splitting that we had to see it thrice. Impressions: My patience with this show is beginning to run a bit thin. The lack of a plot would be forgivable if I liked these characters, but both Lan and Madoka have been reduced nothing more than caricatures designed to act like idiots and spout [...]

Now, they’re milking the hell out of this transfer student trope aren’t they? Muginami is super suspicious, but right now all I can tell is that she’s playing dumb and knows way more than she’s letting on. I suspect that she’s another one of the aliens, because she’s quite familiar with Lan’s lineage and title. [...]

Lan-”Time to start my epic quest…as soon as I learn how to swim…” Hi Fosh! A swimsuit episode already?! You know, normally, swimsuits = fanservice, but maybe for Lagrange, it will be different. Plus this isn’t a harem anime. …Or is it. After watching this episode, I’m not so sure anymore. Ku ku ku! More [...]

「鴨川スイマーズ」 (Kamogawa Suimaazu) "Kamogawa Swimmers" It feels like I'm just repeating myself every week when it comes to Rinne no Lagrange, as the unassuming and unpretentious robot anime doesn't miss a beat when it comes to delivering twenty solid minutes of entertainment.

Episode 04 - Well, this show certainly isn’t being subtle with it’s character relationships, especially between the trio of girls. That being said, it seems that Lagrange is also going to be a more character-driven anime, similar to some other series airing this season. The character interactions are given emphasis this time around, and the [...]

From saving the world (or at least the town), it's back down to earth for Madoka with this fourth episode of Rinne no Lagrange - but what's this, a new and mysterious transfer student at her school? The new "student" in question is Muginami, the odd girl which Madoka previously met on-base during her previous adventures in robot piloting - intriguingly, it turns out that Muginami wasn't supposed
