Death Parade The Good, the Bad, and the Morally Ambiguous In so much of media, a distinct line has been draw between what is objectively good and objectively bad. In most cases this rather simple view served as a way
Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso - Review Like many music anime, they tend to focus on the character's involvement with the craft and how music helps each character -- whether that is personally or within a relationship. Probably the most interesting thing about Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is one of the main characters, Arima Kousei...
Grisaia No Kajitsu Grisaia no Kajitsu - First Impressions I honestly didn't know what to expect going into Grisaia no Kajitsu, but the most prominent thing that drew me in was it is a psychological romance. With that in my mind, I was hoping for something that was more than likely a mature in nature anime. So when the first scene with the listing of...
Log Horizon Log Horizon 2 - First Impressions Log Horizon was my favorite anime of the season when it originally aired. So, I was waiting with excitement for the next season to start. It is, without question, the one anime I've been looking forward to the most this season.
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 26: Crisis Averted I always find it odd that many long running anime, like Mahouka, tend to assume it will have a second season; however, seeing as how popular it is, I think
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 24-25: Disturbance Arrives This arc has the oddest switching of overall moods I've seen in quite a while. A few episodes back I complemented Mahouka for the lighthearted nature that character interaction took,
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 22-23: Shadow Over No One's Eyes As the Thesis Competition slowly claws closer and closer to happening, it feels like I'm losing interests in this series overall. Several people have said that this arc will be
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 20-21: Revenge Severed Sour With the new arc in full swing, it seems like Mahouka has been taking itself less seriously. The last the two arcs never had this playful nature with the characters;
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 18-19: Unquenchable Thirst for Power After the eleven episodes of the drawn out Nine School Competition, this arc has finally come to an end. Admittedly, toward the end, these episodes have been getting more interesting,
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 16-17: Shattering Expectations So the match that has been hype up for about as long as the Crimson Prince appeared has finally come in this episode. And in the previous post, I hoped
Majokko Shimai No Yoyo To Nene Majokko Shimai no Yoyo to Nene - Review A sister duo of cursers named Yoyo and Nene help people by either removing or putting curses on people. Suddenly, a large tree entangled with building -- and other thing
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 14-15: Roped in Once Again Not even going to lie, with the new season upon us it is getting a bit more difficult to continue to watch Mahouka simply because of this arc. I've said
Tokyo Esp Tokyo ESP - First Impressions The combination of science fiction and fantasy has always been a rather odd mix for me. On one hand we have something that tries to grounded in as much reality as possible, and this includes the "fiction" part of science fiction
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - First Impressions Going into Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, I didn't know what to expect but I did have Bakuman on the brain only because they both revolve about mangaka. With the just first episode, it feels like this anime will be more focused on the comedy aspects rather than the actual struggle of mangaka...
Sword Art Online Sword Art Online II - First Impressions Back with a new season of Sword Art Online, or rather Gun Gale Online this time around. And as one of the many people extremely critical of the previous season, specifically the ALfheim Online arc, I'm going into this pretty sceptical on whether this season will be any good.
Harmonie Stepping into Your World Transitioning from middle to high school can be somewhat of a fresh start, where people get to reinvent themselves in order to better fit their new surrounding. There are also
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 12-13: Accidents and Praises Before actually getting into the episode, I'm still having this weird love hate relationship with school competitions. The thing that irks me the most about this whole ordeal is the
Nozoki Ana More Than Skin Deep One the most difficult things that anime, or any medium aimed at the teenager age range, has a hard time handling in a mature way is sex -- and any
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 10-11: The Games Begin A nice change of pace coming from this tenth episode where Miyuki has finally gotten scenes without Tatsuya around. I find it pretty strange that it took this long for
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 08-09: Improbable Made Possible There is this pattern that anime set in a school setting have, and sadly Mahouka seems to be following that pattern I have a distaste for. For me, the most
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 06-07: Dispelling the Illusion With these two episodes being the wrap up of the first arc of Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, I can't help but feel like it was both an extended one --
Kimi No Iru Machi The Unkindled Flame There have already been two OVAs of Kimi no Iru Machi after the original anime finished airing back in the summer of 2013. I didn't want to write about the
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 04-05: Terrors of the Disenfranchised After a handful of pretty much introductory episodes to Mahouka, we finally begin to see the direction that this series is taking. Fortunately, the focus is in fact on societal
Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 02-03: Respect Through Power On my first impressions, I posed a few question that came to mind which never got answered in that first episode. Right on the subsequent episode we, quite explicit, got
Date A Live Date A Live II - First Impressions Following the pattern that Date A Live has set for itself, at least to me, the first episode in to the season isn't that entertaining and tilted more towards the annoying realm. The easiest way to describe this episode is that it was Shidou's bad fur day...
