Tytania is that 2008 anime that you watched a few episodes of but dropped because it was mostly boring. But …Continue reading »

Soundtrack music’s goal, first and foremost, is to evoke the emotions running through any given scene and help immerse the viewer in the going-ons. Good soundtrack music will do that so well that one can simply let the power of the music convey the scene in its totality. And for those who are fortunate enough [...]

A new press release was waiting for me when I woke up this morning from Sentai Filmworks announcing their new August lineup. It starts in a pretty standard fashion with a re-release and continuing melodrama: Princess Resurrection Complete Collection – 8/3 La Corda O’Oro ~ Primo Passo Collection 2 – 8/10 Rounding out the rest of the month [...]

Tytania is a show that gives high expectations and fails to live up to them. It has so much potential for greatness but ends up squandering them faster than a glue-sniffing MIT grad. If Yoshiki Tanaka, the author of the original novels, were dead, he’d be spinning in his grave right now. But he isn’t, [...]

The epic space opera, Tytania. A tale of the intergalactic power struggle between the mighty Tytania clan and the unassuming yet charismatic rebel, Fan Hyulick, the universe’s sole beacon of hope against the oppressive Tytania regime. There were space battles aplenty, but the real focus was on character motivations and lots of political maneuvering. The [...]

While I thought of something more interesting to say, I’d thought I’d share some thoughts on what I’ve been watching. Really I’m sad Fall and Winter seasons are over. Now I’ve got to find more new stuff to watch. It’s depressing. Anyways… Toradora!: Okay everyone else is on this bandwagon, so I ought to hook my leg [...]

Here is another end-of-season review, and this time it's for the space opera Tytania. It's the first time I've watched a slow-paced space opera anime, and Tytania didn't turn out too badly.Tytania is a space opera anime series based on novels from Yoshiki Tanaka (Legend of Galactic Heroes) and animated by Artland. The story takes place humans have spread themselves among the stars where the

Tytania had some massive expectations working against it when it first aired. It’s supposed to be the spiritual successor to the Legend of Galactic Heroes, one of the rumoured best anime ever made (yeah, yeah, I’m going to watch that one some day). These are expectations it obviously couldn’t live up to, but if you [...]

Short Synopsis: We all know what’s going to happen: the end of Zalish. Episode Rating: 8,5/10 (Awesome) Call me crazy, but this was actually the best ending I’ve seen this season. Okay, sure it cheated a bit with a second season still somewhere unannounced, but it did exactly what it has been building up to. It’s an [...]

Short Synopsis: Zalish gets into trouble. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Zalish = GAR) Ah, who am I kidding? This show rocks. Just ignore my whining for the past few episodes: if it’s indeed true that we’ve only reached the halfway point of the original novels, then there’s plenty of chance that the creators are willing to animate the [...]

It is for scenes like the segment at the end of episode 21 that I watch TeaTytania for, not to mention their tactics, both in and out of the battlefield. I have to agree with Yamcha on this one - Tytania needs a second season. Oh, and the best touch during this segment was the [...]

Short Synopsis: Zalish moves in to destroy Fan and his allies. Episode Rating: 7/10 (Enjoyable) While I want to call this series a flop, I just have to admit that I was touched by the ship crashing down. That mechanic has been a very strange character, but seeing all of his work and pride destroyed like that [...]

Short Synopsis: Fan is nearly captured by Tytania again, and is helped by a few new allies. Episode Rating: 7/10 (Enjoyable) I’m not too sure about this series right now. Here it is about to hit it major climax, and it first wastes an episode on character background that could have been done ages ago, and right [...]

Short Synopsis: Idris’ past Episode Rating: 7,5/10 (Good) Well, that’s a very strange place to start talking about people’s past. This episode really should have been shown much earlier in the series, and I can see really no reason to postpone it so long. This is supposed to be the start of the finale, the background should [...]

Short Synopsis: Now it’s Jouslain’s turn to go after Fan Hyulick (or however he wants us to spell his name). Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) While at first I thought that this was a relatively uneventful episode, but near the end, this series got a totally new dimension because of it. Tytania really has been a cat and [...]

Short Synopsis: The plan to bust Fan out of prison begins. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) Ah, so no Uranibolg this time, but instead this episode focuses on the Fan vs Zalish storyline. The plan wasn’t the most flawless one, but it definitely had enough interesting points. I personally didn’t like how the long-haired guy whose name I [...]

Short Synopsis: As it turns out: Idris also has a very annoying brother. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) Wha, this episode took me by surprise. This definitely was one of the hardest to understand episodes of this series yet, so I hope that I understood everything correctly. Zalish and Fan were completely absent in this episode, and it [...]

Short Synopsis: Fan gets captured for real this time, and meets two punks with really weird haircuts. Episode Rating: 8/10 (Excellent) Okay, so next week there’s going to be another hiatus, and after that it’s finally time for this series to get fired off: double episodes until the end of its run! This episode built things up [...]

This is my Tytania-face. Because of Fan. Well, not only because of Fan, but mostly yes, because of Fan. Fan Hyulick is a worthless excuse of a main character whose existence makes the show look bad…well, worse than what it already looks like. I signed up for fleet battles where cunning strategists and tacticians clash, where [...]
