I wish this post title was only for the sake of getting your attention, but no, that’s actually what they call it. Saint October is the kind of show that, by and large, flies by unnoticed to all but its target audience. Some may remember it from its run in 2007, but outside of that, [...]

Let the angst-less nekomimi good times roll.

Ok, other than the really queer mahou shoujo transformation, the highlight of this episode is of course the cute Kotono plushies. I want one. Now. By the way, does anyone have any clue how long Saint October is going to last? Episode summary Natsumi woke up from a dream where Kotono abandoned her for Yohan as she woke [...]

Genres: Mahou-shoujo(?), mystery Studio: Konami OP: “Wheel of fortune” by Azusa Kataoka, Yukari Fukui & Yu Kobayashi ED: “Michi naru Basho e” by Yukari Fukui Official Site: http://www.konami.jp/visual/saintoctober/ Rating: 7/10 Impressions: Wow, what can I say? Well for one, this show really fails hard. Actually no, it WOULD fail hard if it wasn’t for Kotono, who is one of the cutest [...]

I repeat. There is under no circumstances that a green haired neko mimi Kotono deserved to be slapped by anyone. This is the same case even if you have been taking care of her for the past few years after she is abandoned. Might you be cursed, hexed and hurt gratuitously for conducting such a [...]

Kotono = everything to love about this episode, (I want the non-existant gothloli figurine already!) The problem remains that she is perhaps the only thing to love about this show. The animation quality is so poor that all the figures in even medium distance no longer look good. Fortunately, there are enough close ups of [...]

Serious, that show sucks soooo bad, I’d take power rangers anyday. Wads with the uber weak version of pactio anyway? Its just sad. In anycase, concerning my dear local anime watchers, its pretty clear by now that Odex is up to something, and that something would be to clamp down on fansub downloading. Which of course [...]

Saint October is "that one anime with the gothlolis and amnesiacs" that I thought I wouldn't watch. Well, fast forward today and I watched it. It was the best anime I've seen so far this year. It was also the first anime I've seen so far this year...

I want to be in Yohan’s position now. Kotono is way too cute and I am so in adoration of Saint October right now. It is totally great because of the green haired loli greatness Kotono! I have not decided whether to blog this permanently. For now, it’s as short a summary for it is 3.20 [...]

The summer started with light-hearted shows, the autumn started with garbage, and the winter starts with quite an elegant and stylish batch. The next week is probably going to be very busy again, seeing as there’s going to be so much anime coming out. ^_^ Afro Samurai Ah, so this is the long-awaited arrival of Afro-Samurai. It’s [...]

      Watch on DivX Stage6 OP: "Wheel of Fortune" by Gothloli Detectives (Azuka Kataoka, Yukari Fukui, Yuu Kobayashi) - Song itself is okay, vocals not exactly the best, but good enough for me... but first of all, what's with the flying CG lyrics and lyrics in the background and so on? There's been plenty of shows that have done that with the staff credits, but but this is something new. Pretty interesting, though I'm not sure if it fits this show that well ;)    ED: "Michi naru basho e" by Yukari Fukui - A slower song for the ending, of course.         Just screencaps for now since I've got to leave in a bit. Feel free to comment ;) 準備中
