「強い…思い…」 (Tsuyoi... Omoi...) “Strong... Feelings...” The long awaited explanation for Rea's distant and alcoholic mother... and it's a much better background story than last week's.

Episode 09 - Well, erm, it looks like we got ourselves another completely out of place filler, once again obviously meant to prolong the main conflict with the father. With that being said, I didn’t really mind seeing an episode focused on Mero, a side character whom up until now didn’t really get much screentime. [...]

Episode 08 - Looks like its back to the main plot in Sankarea, with the unwelcomed return of Rea’s father as the antagonist. It’s already well known how much of a disturbing overprotective person Rea’s father is, and this episode continues to prove such via his obsessive rants and rapier antics. He adds a somewhat [...]

Finally it’s the continuation for episode 08 after we were served with a filler ‘imouto’ episode last week (episode 09 wasn’t that bad either but I wished the storytelling and the execution was more straight forward and put more focus on the main plot instead of side stories). As we can see Furuya is now confined in [...]

Episode 07 - Well, while I don’t particularly mind an episode devoted to Wanko’s backstory, this was quite the sudden side-step from the main story. The previous episode ended with a rather ominous-looking scene where Rea was sucking away at Chihiro’s blood, and somehow the story transitioned to a completely unrelated trip down memory lane. [...]

Sankarea's sixth text volume is paired with an OVA highlighting just a regular day of Sanka Rea with her father - in other words, she's posing whilst fully exposed, and entirely uncensored in thanks to optical media.

Unlike its previous spectacle, this showing of Sankarea actually relates to the main story - giving quite an in-depth insight on how the "Sanka" family came to be as dysfunctional as it is, tragedy as expected.

  After the slightly infuriating cliffhanger of last week’s episode, it seems only fit that Sankarea would decide to promptly follow up on Chihiro’s kidnapping and Rea’s pursuit of him, in order to remind us why Rea’s father is leading in the running for Most Despicable Person in the Universe and further characterize Rea’s hostile [...]

*insert lame Inception joke*  Sankarea’s first double episode post! I am soooo not slacking off (so sowwy Hawth >.<) No problem anaaga! I’ve been slacking off a bit this week too, last week of school and all. ´▽｀ Sankarea will be going on a one week hiatus along with Acchi Kocchi and Accel World, so expect an [...]

Last episode’s cliffhanger made me look forward for to this one however it ended up being a filler! I can’t help but feel annoyed whenever I watch fillers. That’s probably because most of them are rubbish and have nothing to do with the story. Same goes for this one. The first half of the episode [...]

Sankarea is a fascinating series that explores ideas surrounding what it means to be happy, along with notions of family life and living a ‘normal’ life. The characters all have their own problems and ways that they cope with changing surroundings. However, there is still a central problem with this series, and that is the [...]

Natsuiro Kiseki 9 continues the story on the island in a rather sweet episode where, surprisingly, Yuka says the most important thing: some things you can’t do anything about. This is contrasted by the behavior of Ko, the rude boy from last week who’s actually a girl, who misses the doctor who practiced on the [...]

…. I have a nagging suspicion that’s not really your mother in your flashbacks, Mero. Well, DEEN had to slip up somehow and it comes in the form of this week’s badly timed filler episode. We just had a pretty big cliffhanger last week and suddenly we’re watching three schoolgirls telling retarded stories about ramen [...]
