Black Rock Shooter OVA

Jul 25, 2010

Warning. This review contains spoilers for the first episode. You have been warned.Review has been edited now that I know it was only one episode thus changing my opinion entirely. Being a vocaloid fan, I was quite stoked when I heard of the stirrings of an OAV based on Black Rock Shooter. BRS was already visibly a fan favourite and I did somewhat wonder why there was going to be an OAV of BRS rather than the Vocaloid crew themselves but hey. It sounded like a good idea so... why not? Might turn out to be pretty awesome. Let's give it a shot. Runthrough: Right from the start, we're given a heavy fight... See full review

Black Butler 2

Jul 19, 2010

THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS FOR EPISODE ONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.     So! Kuroshitsuji II. Where do I begin? The original Kuroshitsuji wasn't something usually up my alley. I'm not a big fan of gothic victorian clothes or things like that but... I DO like demons so I picked it up. To my surprise, Ciel and Sebastian grew on me and I was sad it ended. News fluttered by that there would be a second season to it and I wondered how they would manage to pull it off. Would it be a prequel? A true sequel? Then there was news about new characters, specifically a new kid with an awesome butler. Ok... See full review

xxxHOLiC

Apr 2, 2010

Oh hey. An xxxHolic review.. a positive one at that... coming from a (le gasp) CLAMP hater. I don't hold back when I tell people how much I think CLAMP is greatly overrated and how most of their present productions (TRC, I'm pointing my finger at you) is just... ridiculous and not all that noteworthy. Earlier, I had lopped in xxxHolic along with the anime deserving of my CLAMP hate. Not so.I'm sure everyone knows Holic by now. Watanuki, a poor boy who can see ghosts stumbles upon the shop of a mysterious lady named Yuuko who grants wishes. Along with his love interest Hiwatari and his eternal... See full review

Ouran High School Host Club

Mar 4, 2010

This. Now THIS surprised me. Usually, I'm not a fan of anime with a bazillion and one fangirls because they tend to overlook the story due to the number of bishonen present. Anime like that irk the hell out of me and I never touch them. Vampire Knight made me want to kill something due to its lack of plot and lackluster characters. Needless to say I was bored at episode one.As for Ouran... not so.Ouran High School Host Club is the story of poor Haruhi who ends up joining the host club because of a monstrous debt. In time, Haruhi learns to enjoy the host club and the other hosts in it. Usually, when... See full review

K-On!

Mar 4, 2010

In search of a good slice of life anime, I'd chanced upon K!On due to the recommendations of a few close friends. At first, I was wondering if it would be a typical moe anime but thankfully, I was mistaken.K!On is the story of a bunch of students trying to set up and maintain a Light Music Club in hopes of making it as successful as the Light Music Clubs of the past. The characters were memorable and were all quite distinctive. My only qualm was that it was short and seemed rather rushed. sometime in the middle of the series, a new character was introduced and didn't seem to have time to develop much which...

Kannagi

Mar 4, 2010

I'd heard about Kannagi thanks to Sankaku Complex. It piqued my interest since it had something to do with Japanese myth and being a big fan of any sort of mythology, I went to go take a look and see.What I found was a fanservice anime that wins my award for OVERHYPED SERIES OF THE YEAR.Kannagi is supposedly about a goddess who appears in the human world because a human carved a statue out of the sacred tree. Now she has to live with said human. Think a far shallower version of Aa Megami-sama. None of the characters are memorable and neither is the plot. As I write this review, I'm scrambling for any...
