A girl gets neko'd hard in a new artwork from Tokyo Ravens shared within Megami's December issue - a violet haired bishoujo seems to have been knocked to the floor and subsequently assaulted by kittens.

Dat tail. So Tokyo Ravens turns into a generic high school romcom in every sense of the genre. But you know what? I’m perfectly fine with that.   Raven School Move over, class A bitch coming through. Objectively speaking, this episode of Tokyo Ravens used some very standard tropes and developments. Bakatora plays the dumb lead […]

  Why does everybody at this school look like their head was caught in a wheat thresher? Impressions: Very dull character introduction episode. Having a plot isn’t a bad thing, guys. And I’m not talking about some kind of "save the world/girlfriend/fight the darkness within" major plot here, just the most absolute basic of structure […]

Natsume: Wait, you mean it’s not as long as this sword?!        Bakatora: It’s only about this long… Tokyo Ravens is as frenetic as ever. But now that we’ve gotten the opening act out of the way, perhaps things will slow down a bit when we get bogged down in Onmyoji School. No […]

  Squeeze with your hands, not with your fingertips. Impressions: The first half of this episode could have been cool if the CGI didn’t all look so silly. I can enjoy flashy affairs like Clone Wars or Dead Fantasy just as well as anybody else, but those don’t have blobby characters clearly stretching the budget to […]

Tokyo Ravens Episode 1 – First Impressions / Review First Impressions: Lovely animation, great magic and potential for some amazing fight sequences! OK storyline and some nice characters. Story: Tsuchimikado Harutora was born into the prestigious Onmyoji family, but can’t or maybe doesn’t want to see “spirit energy”. Therefore, he’s been enjoying a peaceful daily life […]The post Tokyo Ravens Episode 1 – First Impressions / Review appeared first on AnimeMage.com, Anime Mage.

It’s totally not what it looks like! She’s just drawing a blood seal on his face with her tongue! Apologies for the delay. Exams came up. Let’s cut to the chase.   Forbidden Magic The man. The legend. Well, we should have seen this coming. Any time there’s forbidden magic, odds are it involves meddling […]

Yeap, I’m still disappointed.  This show SUCKS more cock than lygophile.  That’s REALLY hard to do.  25% of my audience will understand my joke.  Only one of you four. If this picture makes you think this anime might be good.  Really it’s not.  I just took the best shot from the entire episode.  Don’t be […]

Alright, for the second time, I’m gonna try this little experiment where I test out anime I have less of an interest in, and give my thoughts.  So far, this feels good.  If this continues until the fifth or sixth week of Fall airings, then I may be able to pare down some anime while […]

  Sterilize that knife before you cut up your lips! Non-Impressions: To be written later. Had a spare 15 minutes waiting for a cab to the airport. I did manage to grab the actual new YQ OVA too, but I won’t have a connection between basically now and getting ‘home’ again in about… uh… 9 hours? So post […]

Okay final stretch is approaching people. With most of the season out of the way, it’s just the quirky shows like Pupa and the noitaminA block. As always, you can still vote for what shows you want me to cover here. You can find my full preview of the season here. And if you want […] Related posts: Zabi Vs Fall: Kyoukai no Kanata, Copellion, and Kyousogiga Impressions Zabi vs Fall: Meganebu, Machine Dolls, Gundam Build Fighters, and Yozuara Quarter Impressions Zabi Vs Fall: Walkure Romanze, Sekai de Ichiban, and Diaya no A Impressions

So another show where I’ve read the manga. Though, this manga hasn’t gotten too far. Basically, this story follows Tsuchimikado Harutora, who is a member of a branch of a powerful onmyoji family, but only desires a normal life because he can’t see spirits. But he’s a member of a powerful clan, so life’s not […]

Despite what you might think given the title, this whole first episode was set in the countryside and did not feature any ravens… From what I understood of the plot, Tokyo Ravens is going to be mainly about a boy and a girl named Harutora and Natsume. These two people are descendants of Abe no […]The post First Impressions: Tokyo Ravens appeared first on Organization Anti-Social Geniuses.
