Clear skies with a 50% chance of flying espers This has been an especially stressful week for me. It’s still not so great. I’m only halfway through getting these monkeys off my back. I don’t know what kinds of things you turn to when you’re feeling down, but I’m always pacified by watching extreme violence. [...]

Strike Psych Witches Here we are for part 2 of the flashback! Hyoubu is wrapping up his story by now as Andy is probably about to pass out from boredom. That’s not to say that I found this episode boring. In fact, this is my favourite episode of the series aside from the amusement park [...]

A bit surprising, Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited – Hyoubu Kyousuke just went straight into a flashback with no warning. I was really hoping to see what happened next with Andy Hinomiya and Hyoubu Kyouseke but I guess they are delaying things until towards the end of the season and explaining why Hyoubu does what he … Continue reading »The post Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited – Hyoubu Kyousuke – 7 appeared first on Anime Aura.

Episode 06 -Darkness, Run 闇、走る (Yami, hashiru) Ignoring the mediocre animation quality that is becoming increasingly noticeable in this series, the one big issue I’m having with this show is how it goes about building it’s conflict. Mainly, this show has been upping the tensions by obscuring information from the viewer, and making the situation [...]

Icing covered in Hyoubu? But I’d much rather Hyoubu covered in icing~ So far, things continue to be rather fun. There are a lot of surprises for newcomers to the series such as myself, and this episode isn’t just another throwaway. The reasons for BABEL’s sudden attack last week become more apparent as we discover [...]
