Come for the boob armor, stay for the Mugi Elf. Two episode impression Umm, I wanted to write something about Seiken no Blacksmith (The Sacred Blacksmith), but Cecily’s boob armor distracted me and made me lose my train of thought. Boob armor. Boob armor. Boob armor… SnB is actually a pretty decent fantasy show and has impressed me [...]

The Sacred Blacksmith As an heir to a long line of blacksmiths, the hero must overcome challenges and bond with those around him in order to forge the ultimate weapon to defeat the ultimate evil. A pretty standard synopsis, I'm sure you'd agree, though I was in fact describing a videogame, hence why I feel as [...]

Apparently, my last post was too long.  And by too long, I mean “wow, this post took me like two hours to type up, and I was planning on taking twenty minutes.” Kobato. Thank God I don’t read summaries before I watch shows (though I probably should have before plunging into the shithole that was Miracle Train). [...]

「悪魔契約 -Valbanill-」 (Akuma Keiyaku -Valbanill-) "The Devil's Contract -Valbanill-" So it turns out Cecily was actually fighting while we were mesmerized with Luke's on-the-fly katana forging. At least that's what they'll have us believe by showing us her shattered sword and armor afterward.

The Sacred Blacksmith is good. Like other BONES productions. And it contains many elements and details which other BONES productions contained. For example, not only the blacksmith himself looks similar to Yango from Xam’d of the Lost Memories, but the monsters as well look incredibly similar to humanforms. The same goes for Cecily — she [...]

Today, we are going to play a little game.  I am going to describe the plot of this episode, and I want you to think about what it sounds like.  Let’s see if we reach the same conclusion. All right, after the opening song, we have Cecily, the heir to a line of knights.  She gets [...]

  This show needs one, Impressions: Just a quick note to pop in and say that this episode was awful and I’m out. If you thought the monster standing around while Luke cast his spell was bad, it took another 90 seconds of Luke and the monster staring at each other before they attacked each other, [...]

Ah the good old first impressions posts. So often they turn out hopelessly wrong. In fact, I’ve found that my predictions during the season preview is actually a better indicator of the quality of the anime than the first episode. With that in mind, if you would like to make an argument for an anime [...]

Fall has started and because of that, there will be new shows for us to keep in tune too.. YAY!  I must say, Fall `09 (for me) started with quite an amusement because I actually liked the first 3 shows that I watched for Fall. The plot of those 3 didn’t attract me at first [...]

I went on a tour of a famous author’s house recently and our guide named Cecily was terrible. It’s now like a joke for us mention the name Cecily, and now here’s an anime with a big-boobed sword-wielding girl named… Cecily. lol This girl is the usual energetic, not-very-skilled but full of dedication, [...]

I knew about the generic background surrounding this anime and read lots of first impressions about it, but I still had to go ahead and give it a try. After one shot I was kind of right about comparing it to Kaze no Stigma (ya I have no idea how I finished it). Seriously, how [...] No related posts.

Once upon a time in the Middle Ages... the new anime by studio Manglobe starts off mostly by introducing us to it's three main characters. Let's see what these three kids are all about.

Like most fantasy series, a strong start… Impressions But one thing I’ve noticed, shows in that genre have a linear plot. I’m not sure if it’s because characters have to “level up” and viewers wind up watching them grind. Either way, after a few episodes, I lose interest. However, I’m a bit more optimistic about this one [...]
