I’ve been totally floored by Attack on Titan, the new series this season about GIANTS. Although our own Goldy wrote about the series’ potential, I wasn’t prepared for how riveting, exciting, and frightening this show would be. Among other things I missed? The connection to religion in the first two episodes (what do I do… Read More Attack on Titan: Straight from the Old Testament
Maybe you’re like me – a sensitive (some would say oversensitive) soul. Most of my teenage angst revolved around this one central conceit – I cared more about others than they did about me. I spent more time thinking about my friends (and certainly girls) and put more time and effort into relationships than they… Read More A Lesson in Longing from Blast of Tempest’s Princess
After last week’s episode of Oreimo, where I continued to emphasize my disappointment with the show, I was advised that I should quit “torturing” myself – that I should drop it. But despite all my issues with the series, there’s one particular thing that keeps bringing me back – I really like most of the… Read More Oreimo, Season 2, Episode 02: Love Plus…Nothing

Where else would you see a series featuring magical trees, involving the end of the world, and frequently referencing Shakespeare? Zetsuen no Tempest was a real surprise to me. As I have a… Read More Zetsuen no Tempest’s Blast From a Considered Past
I’ve enjoyed a number of the opening episodes to this season’s new series, but perhaps none more so than Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin). The opening episode, and particularly the attack by the titans, was exciting, unsettling, and frightening. It’s every bit as compelling as Goldy mentioned it might be. Episode one was filled… Read More Attack on Titan, Episode 01: Breaking Down Walls
Little Busters: one of the most controversial anime recently in terms of quality, potential, and execution. Key, infamous for their ability to make stories that drown their readers/viewers in tears, produced Little Busters in 2007, showcasing Jun Maeda’s mastery of tearjerkers. Hailed as one of the greatest VNs of all time, Little Busters is indeed… Read More Little Busters: Refrain and The Power of Experience
