Ao no Exorcist 07: Shiemi Learns To Make Friends.

One step for girl, one giant leap for human kind: the way friendship works for Shiemi. I apologize for the crappy title for this week’s review. I couldn’t think of anything for the title but my brother used to listen to a band strangely named ‘Michael Learns To Rock’. He doesn’t listen to the band [...]

Ao No Exorcist 06: Some food for thought to ya.

Damn that !@#$%^&* Mephisto Pheles! That’s it, I’m setting up my own restaurant! It’s filler material this week; so not much plot-moving going on until the next episode and I’m going to make this short and straightforward. One thing that I wish it will come true is that the anime would avoid making too many [...]

Ao no Exorcist 05: Hey, that’s my line!

Bon: If you two didn’t stop me from registering my ambition for copyright protection years ago, that punk wouldn’t have stole my ‘idea’ too! Konekomaru (Bald kid with glasses): Erm…Bon. I don’t think that kid’s listening. Besides, about the copyright thing, we meant the ‘expression’ of an idea, not the idea itself. And number two, [...]

Ao no Exorcist 04: When all you have is a bunch of flowers…

Isn’t she cute? Who would like to squish Shiemi’s face? (Raise your hands.) I apologize for the lateness for this week’s episode review, being caught up and overwhelmed with the 2011 Singapore General Elections and all. Screwed up subs aside, everything’s fine on my side. After all, it’s one of the hallmark events in Singapore [...]

Name: Yukio Okumura Age: 15 Birthday: 27 December Occupation: Teacher, Student Representative, Middle-First Class Exorcist, Brother. It’s tough being both a brother and student in anyone’s ordinary life, let alone an exorcist and a responsible teacher guiding future exorcists to success as you never know if you’re going to live for another day if you [...]

Ao no Exorcist 02: I’m Rin Okamura. You killed my stepfather. Prepare to die.

…but before you can do that, Rin, you must attend school and be an exorcist. Sorry, kiddo, but everything will have to wait, even kicking your (real) daddy’s arse. That’s how the plot goes. Who couldn’t resist the urge of a Princess Bride reference? Along with this show, the other shows I’m following as well [...]

Shiki Full Review: Mysteries left hanging…

YAY! Down with Sotoba! So long, stinkin’ village putting everyone’s lives on the miserable line! So, it’s the end of Shiki, isn’t it? I’m gonna miss writing this weekly, despite my lazy side trying to pull me away from writing an episodic review whenever an episode is available. But seriously, this series needs more love. [...]
