Chuosha has announced that a manga version of Gonzo’s Tower of DRUAGA ~the Aegis of URUK~ is being developed. It was originally going to run in Kadokawa’s Ace Assault shounen mangabon, but it’s apparently been moved to Comptiq (home of Lucky Star). The manga will begin in the July issue of the magazine (on sale June [...]

So I’m taking iknight’s advice and actually looking at who is directing these shows because all my snarky comments aside, I probably should be. Tower of Druaga: I’ll be fair about this one. Right now, I could go either way. If they decide to make the entire fantasy world some sort of online game and make [...]

Episode of the Week: Druaga no To - The Aegis of Uruk - 01 This was a bit of a hard choice this week since for the most part it was a competition between which new show had the best first episode. Now, I’ll remind you that this isn’t an award for what show I’m looking [...]

So the second episode of The Tower of Druaga is out and it’s basically what many people feared: the series dropped the humor from the first episode and it basically became a standard, pretty boring based-on-a-game anime show. Yeah, there were some attempts at humor, but none of it really made me laugh. [...]

Opening Sequence: OP: “Swinging” by Muramasa☆ Well this was definitely an unexpected OP sequence given the small intro just before this. It makes me wonder if the series is going down the track like the .hack series by differentiating between the real world and the virtual world. Still, the Fatina (the blonde) is pretty cute.

Without saying anything about why the downtime happened, Crunchyroll has announced that Tower of Druaga episode 1 is back on their site, both the streaming and downloadable versions. Once again, you can see details on Druaga and BLASSREITER’s availability online at the bottom of my first date with Druaga.

ANN Encyclopedia | AniDB | AnimeNfo OP: “Swinging” by Muramasa☆ ED: “Tōchōsha-tachi (塔頂者たち)” by KENN Production: Gonzo [ Episode 1: The Great Tower of Druaga ] Hot damn. GONZO has outdone themselves with this shining gem of promise and hilarity! I fell for this series instantly and I’m loving it so much! When I first saw the promo images and synopsis [...]

I feel like this should be a Scooby Doo mystery: The Case of the Disappearing Anime Series! Crunchyroll has announced that for the time being, they’re taking down Tower of Druaga. Why? I have no idea; all they say is tha it’s not GONZO’s fault. BLASSREITER is still available on CR, though, and other sites (YouTube, [...]

I recently watched the premiere episodes of The Tower of DRUAGA -the aegis of URUK- and BLASSREITER on BOST TV, Crunchyroll, and YouTube to compare the visual quality and the placement of subtitles and also to see if they were shows worth following after the first two episodes. I decided to formulate two separate posts [...]

lol wow, like this has been blogged so much, I don't really even have the motivation to do so. But I'll do it anyway, for the record. (You can already tell this entry was spat out rather carelessly.) Things to note: There are two versions of the first episode. This is the [...]

The key to getting people to like your anime in the first episode is to have an awesome OP sequence that pumps people up for viewing. This is where stuff like Vandread, Gatekeepers and Code Geass succeed well, and Honey and Clover doesn’t. But of course, once the viewer decides in the first 1.15 minutes [...]

GONZO has thrown down the gauntlets and has enlisted the help of real live fansubber(s) to distribute its anime to the English-literate world with near-synchronized-with-Japanese-television releases of its new show, Tower of Druaga. As such, there are two important things to talk about: the possible benefits and consequences of this new distribution method, and the [...]

Gonzo decided to broadcast two of its new shows, Blassreiter and Tower of Druaga, simultaneously in Japan and America, a highly unprecedented move I applaud them greatly for. Blassreiter, as I’ve mentioned before, is one of my most-anticipated shows for this season. Watching it in low quality on youtube did not hurt my enjoyment at [...]

What the hell did I just watch? I know Gonzo has a habit of pulling some really stupid stuff, especially when it comes to their endings, case and point, I couldn’t stand to watch more than two episodes of Dragonaut. But this time I’m just confused, it’s sorta like the feeling you get just after you’ve [...]

Thanks to heads up from a few people, I discovered that there’s a ura version of it as well. It’s basically set in the same time, only from a different point of view, and more of the characters are introduced, including Minorin’s Kooba, where she seems to be playing the cute but sharp “tsukkomi” character [...]
