This definately goes in the wtf did I just watch category. Odd little web-twitter thing that has a dog with an annoying voice chat at you about being a dog.  The only thing that was interesting was the 2 dogs at the vending machines with owners right out of an Airline exit manual.  Not sure the reason for creating this. nor why I blazed through the three episodes listed, But I did.  Would I recommend it? Only if you have a challenge to watch an entire series in 5 minutes flat. 

 Amending a review for a show you originally thought was a mediocre mess only to be surprised by a solid second act, is very rare. In fact, I am not sure it has happened to me yet. Ah Macross... You big beautiful mix of warfare and dancy pop numbers. Shredded mecha roar by with explosions everywhere all the while a songstress (or plural) belt out love ballads. meanwhile a love triangle (mostly 2 girls and 1 guy, with a couple exceptions) forms and causes for great soapy drama.  Originally I noted the fact that in the first 10-12 episodes it felt like the creators threw in everything but the...

Give me a Mecha with a giant ass spear, and make it a battered Gundam in the hands of slightly older children soldiers.  Oh, and give the title some sort of kick ass name with metal and some body fluid as the subtex. I must admit, I have been jonsing for a mecha title in the vein of more realistic mecha titles of yore, like Gundam 08th, Votoms, or maybe even Fang of the Sun Dougram. In fact, in the case of the last title mentioned, a desert wasteland is a perfect backdrop. Let's face it; Gundam has been stumbling about a bit lately.  Gundam Age was too glossy and cumbersome, Gundam G... See full review

How do you easily grab my interest away from cookie cutter titles? Well, it is not hard. Any title that puts a lumbering, big lipped, buzz cut guy slapped right on the front title promo picture tells me that this title might be worth a look. Quantifying this anime leaves me hard pressed to find a title that is similar to it. The awkward height proportions of Lovely Complex? The main character who downright scares everyone like Kimi ni Todoke? Or possibly the character who does not know about romance very well like Say, I love you?  All of these would make solid recommendations, yet do not... See full review

Are you on drugs? Would you like to be? Well, why not try out Maeshiba. This is one of those odd titles that remind me that Japan is a lot different than the rest of the world. When 59 second shorts about small beans or food that talk to you with random facts you know you are in for Oddity city.   There is no real narrative. Just understand that somehow a single coffee bean will sift away from other beans. Then that bean will look up to a character, introduce itself, and then tell the main character of this short a random fact. The fact like "hippos sweat is pink" will normally cause the...

Food! It is good!  It is life! You eat Yoke? What!!! Add a lot of exclamation points filled with excitement and over dramatics. So, this is a short subject about a man who takes his food way too seriously. The interesting way it goes about this is following our protagonist as he overreacts to how food is prepared and or eatten. If you want to know how to mix rice and greens and the all important egg, this is a title for you. If you wonder why your life is pointless, also watch this title! It will make you feel like your life is less pointless than this man.  The animation in this is actually... See full review
