What an awesome first episode! I was a little creeped out by the singing in the beginning, but it was cute, so I went along with it. The song was cute enough, but luckily the show proved to have a little more depth then that. There seem to be two conflicts, one being the conflict of [...]

Seiyuu Alert!! Taishou Yakyuu Musume op Taishou Yakyuu Musume ed The opening was sung by Itou Kanae, Nakahara Mai, Ueda Kana, and Noto Mamiko.  The ending is sung only by Itou Kanae.

So, after reading that Taishou Yakyuu Musume (which, by the way, I had not heard about prior to this point) is getting an anime adaptation, I became instantly overwhelmed with completely, utterly baseless and unjustified hype for it. Let me break it down for you: Taishou (大正): Historical fiction! My history major blood is a-boil with [...]

Apparently the new fullmetal alchemist series is what’s got the anime community up in arms, whether they’d be raving, speculating, hating or just plain pfft-ing. And here I thought it all ended with Conqueror of Shambala. So, firstly, FullMetal Alchemist has been confirmed to be have a new series in the works. It will start next April, with [...]
