School Days

School Days, surely has characters who are cute to the moon, but why am I so worked up by this typical love-triangle. Who knows… (more…)

Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei :: Top Slot

Hiki vs Sensei

Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei. This series vibes like an alternate form Satou and Misaki, with a tender blend of the recent Negima!? series. Everything is relative at times. (more…)

Lucky Star :: Subtle Stuff

Remember this shot?

Beyond the midpoint lies other characters. The beef of LS to episode 12/13 was Konata vs Kagami, with a mix of Tsukasa and Miyuki. Incoming characters…. this is brief. (more…)

Touka Gettan :: Carnival

すてき です ね?

Last bout of episodes seems very sparatic, but trying to be relevant.

We get to see an outrageous festival, with many kinds of yes and no explicit interfaces. Jeez, I really felt for Touka, like he’s the only one half-normal and surrounded by wackos, even though he’s quite brattish. The relationship phases of Touka and Momoka are interesting to see, but its been more implied indirectly. Episodes before the ceremony of the first episode [wtf] Touka and Momoka felt distant. Also, the sexual content/connotations of Touka Gettan are reaching great heights. Overly sexual? Its possible, but everything is so lush and taboo to truly complain.

I wasn’t over joyous after the last few episodes, some of the material seemed to be filler written up by the penmanship of one Yumiko; there’s a ton to say about this firecracker, I won’t say a thing. O_O

Anyway, it’s decent, but I’m looking for slightly stronger material to set off the reverse plotline. Keep it coming.

Lagann wasn’t part of my top array of priorities, nor was it even a “choice pick”, but I snatched it on buzz and its well worth the experience. (more…)
