The Sacred Blacksmith

Sep 14, 2011

Sacred Blacksmith, why couldn't you have been built like a toaster instead of a blender? Why couldn't you start off with something raw and wonderful, and then sat for awhile, before finally popping out at us, and being a delicious treat? Instead you carried on like a blender, haphazardly tossing in ingrediants that didn't always mesh, and creating a jumbled mess, hardly recognizable from your intriguing beginning.

Story: 7 out of 10.
The story of Sacred Blacksmith is fairly unique as far as animes tend to go. Set in a fantasy world with... See full review

Tales of the Abyss

Aug 1, 2011

Before I go into this, if you are the type of person who judges a movie or show based on the book or game it was based off of, you are a fool in my eyes. If a "movie will never be as good as the book it's written off of", then you should give up your petty argument, and try judging it as a work of cinema, not as a work of literature. The thought of taking a 50 hour gameplay game, and squishing it into a 10 hour series will of course leave out very important aspects. That being said, the Video game is a GREAT video game, much as the anime is a GREAT anime, even if there was alot of important... See full review

Tears to Tiara

Mar 21, 2011

An introductory analogy. Tears to Tiara is the child of a beautiful artist, and a brilliant writer, but as a child, it only smacks brushes on a canvas, and scribbles with a pencil. Tears to Tiara is an interesting plot-line, based on Arthurian legend, that falls short due to the horrible "melodramatic" moments that infest the series like a crack-riddled prostitute on the bad side of town.

Story: 7 out of 10 Tears to Tiara is your standard popular anime title. It is full of violence, follows European culture, and has harem-esque females with oversized breasts. The actual storyline... See full review

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Apr 9, 2010

Gurren Lagann is quite a different experience for a fan such as myself. When I started the series, I had 2 things in mind; "If the plot sucks, at least the redhead is attractive" and "Well... maybe it's cheesy for comedies sake!". I was right on both ends I suppose. Up until episode 17, Gurenn Lagann is a pretty funny neurotic comedy, full of cheesy one liners "When you screw it in, give it a hard manly twist!" and awkward sexual innuendos. After episode 17, the series takes a sort of turn towards a more serious side, and I quickly started to lose faith... See full review
