Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Episode 8?- How to Fail at Marketing (And How Yuki Partially Saves It)

By Calawain | Published: May 21, 2009

So I know I’m supposed to be orgasming here about the new Haruhi season, considering the title of this blog. Well unfortunately, the unbridled enthusiasm I had for this show has significantly waned in the 3 years since it last aired. Much of that has to do with the dipshit way in which Kadokawa has [...]

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 5- Talk to the Hand

By Calawain | Published: May 3, 2009

Well this week’s FMA was certainly less exciting then I thought it was going to be. I was expecting more of a fight and less chatting and feeling sorry for yourself. At least next week we get to see Winry all grown-up. Mmmmmm, blondes.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 4- Soul-Crushing Despair

By Calawain | Published: April 26, 2009

Well we all knew it was coming, but it seemed to creep up on us pretty fast. The first truly fucked up part of FMA. Regardless, they did a pretty good job presenting it, and it sets the stage for a lot of later development.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Episode 3- Gag Failure

By Calawain | Published: April 20, 2009

I apologize for skipping over episode 2, but with the traveling and illness I suffered last week it couldn’t be helped. It was mostly material from the first series anyways, although I thought they did a really good job of explaining what happened in the past in a quick, yet quite clear manner.

Quick Impressions- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

By Calawain | Published: April 6, 2009

The highly anticipated FMA redux so far delivers, giving us a healthy dose of action and character reintroduction. Pretty much required watching for anyone who enjoyed the first series. And if you haven’t seen the first series, what are you doing reading this post? Go watch it!

Quick Impressions- Hayate no Gotoku

By Calawain | Published: April 3, 2009

One of the shows this season I’m guaranteed to be watching, I have been looking forward to more HnG for a long while. In addition to being spit-milk-out-your-nose hilarious, HnG is home to one of my top waifu, Hinagiku. The first episode did not dissappoint, ladies and gentlemen, there’s plenty of Hina to go around.

Maria+Holic, Episode 12 (END)- I Think I've Had Dreams Like This

By Calawain | Published: April 2, 2009

And so unfortunately we must draw this chapter of Maria+Holic to an end. But what a splendid end it was, complete with school swimsuits, loincloths, exposed breasts, and perverted dreams. What more could you ask for?

Maria+Holic, Episode 11- God Defeats Priest

By Calawain | Published: March 24, 2009

Unfortunately this brings us to the penultimate episode of Maria+Holic. On the other hand it was blessedly hilarious and somewhat insulting to Catholic priests (something I don’t really have a problem with~). Of course it shouldn’t be too unusual that a Catholic priest would go for an underage male right?! Hohohoho.
