Episode 8 of Celestial Method (Sora no Method) is, perhaps, the first in the series I’ve enjoyed from beginning to end. We finally get a nice, emotional breakthrough for Shione and, just to mix things up a bit, the resolution isn’t a resolution at all, complicated by advancement of Noel’s storyline. Nice. Shione’s development in… Read More Celestial Method, Episode 8: You Go First
Lately I’ve been following Mark’s Anime and Video Game blog, and particularly this young man’s journey through Toradora, which is my all-time favorite anime series. I’ve had a lot of social media friends and followers watch the show (or my recommendation or otherwise), and it’s brought me a lot of joy to see them enjoying… Read More Messy Anime Girls, Clean Anime Boys, and Godly Order
Of the last few episodes, I liked this one the most, but I’m not sure if that’s really just because I quite enjoyed Sachi’s route over the previous two. The anime honestly did an okay job (again, given the constraint of doing an entire route in 1 episode which makes my statement fairly meaningless).

Meanwhile, we learn more about Emi and especially Takeshi, two talented pianists who have longed to defeat Arima… Read More Your Lie in April Episode 7: Slave to the Score
Isn’t it strange how the holiday season becomes all about us? Christmas has turned into an occasion to spent lots of money (and oftentimes on ourselves). Our writers want to flip the focus this year and turn toward those who are in need. We are eager to help heal and care for individuals who are… Read More Anime Fans Give Back!

I’ve watched just three minutes and 15 seconds of When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace (Inō-Batoru wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de) this season, but those three minutes and 15 seconds, from episode seven, were awfully good. Found via a Tumblr post, it was of Hatoko absolutely going off on Jurai. I don’t have much context for… Read More When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace Episode 7: Making Light of Faith
