Yakumo, Yakumo, are you a dazzler or a pansy ass, Yakumo? Kyokai: Ooooh, I have been waiting and waiting for this one! Even after airing, the raws took time and subs too. I tried my best to have a full-blown collab too as this along with Bakuman and Kuragehime got the highest [...]

Haruka turns to Yakumo for help after her friend is possessed by spirits. Impressions: I think this was a really good first episode. They managed to put Haruka’s case into one episode which will let them move forward from this starting point. We got to see the case from start right to the very end. I like [...]

Last two reviews from me tonight, and this time its shows that I was actually looking forward to!  So onward to Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge and Shinrei Tantei Yakumo.

Just gonna sit there and watch it burn? When I was abroad, I only heard non-American songs twice. Twice! It was crazy. And I heard that Eminem/Rihanna song incessantly.

Episode 01 – Unbridgeable Gap – 開かずの間 (Akazu no aida) If you were expecting some sort of exceptional murder mystery anime from this series, expect to be sorely disappointed. The mysteries in this show, as of now, don’t seem to be very complex, and are rather predictable. However, that could prove to change as the [...]

  Bee Train!!!! Impressions: At least Yakumo now has competition for the worst produced show of the season. I’m not sure that they could have made this more visually dull if they tried.
