Kokoro Connect episode 05-06 – A Troll Who Cares, and, OH DESIRE!

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: August 12, 2012

Two episodes in this post, and coincidentally it’s the end of one chapter/arc/whatever and the start of another one. Episode 05 brought out some big drama with Yui being the victim of a randomly-timed Heartseed intervention, which brought things to almost AnoHana-level drama. It was a high point of emotions that ended up serving as a nice [...]

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon episode 05 – Horizon On Three Minutes of Past Viewing (Part of the Horizon On Tits Project)

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: August 10, 2012

My reaction too. When 8dayswithout me started recruiting people to blog an episode each of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon on her blog, Gar Gar Stegosaurus, I signed up to see what fun I could have with it. I’ve previously only watched approximately the first three minutes of the first season of the show before I dropped [...]

Tari Tari 05-06: Life After Death

By Crusader | Published: August 8, 2012

Well between the weekend outage, two lost credit cards, a failed bid to buy a house, and a job rotation change I am certain that I am not dead though I do feel like a bit of a zombie. My woes however were nothing compared to the heartache Wakana had to go through. I wanted [...]

Kokoro Connect episode 04 – So, This Happened…

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: July 31, 2012

So, another episode of ‘fixing’ people, but at least there was something waaaay out of left field that turned the episode into something else entirely. It’s an odd strategy for producing/writing a show, but hey, I guess it works! Start telling a pretty cliche story and then BAM! throw something incredibly strange out there that [...]

Natsuyuki Rendezvous episode 04: My Young Part-Timer Can’t Be This Horny

By Hana | Published: July 31, 2012

Rokka was clearly facepalming already. Well… Hazuki certainly doesn’t beat about the bush, does he?! And, thankfully, neither does this show. Four episodes in, and great to see such significant character and plot development, plus some very fangasmic moments courtesy of young Mr. Carpe Diem. And when I’m referring to a 22 years old man [...]

Tari Tari – 04: Setting Aside Childish Things

By Crusader | Published: July 26, 2012

So the Legend of Mahiru continues to grow as three singers from the West come to see Mahiru’s child. Not only does Mahiru have celebrity friends she also was responsible for a one hit wonder. Sadly it seems that Wakana is not too keen about trying to live up to her mother’s legacy. Certainly the [...]

Kokoro Connect episodes 01-03 (but mostly 03) – Initial Thoughts, and A Swift Kick

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: July 23, 2012

Hans Moleman Productions Presents: Man getting kicked by classmate. Plenty of shows to choose from this season, but finally I’ve settled on Kokoro Connect to blog for summer. Uta Koi was a very close second, but I feel like I’ll have more to say about this one. First, some initial thoughts on the show in general and [...]

Rinne no Lagrange S2 – 02: Making Up by Making Out

By Crusader | Published: July 22, 2012

This post is late but the KISSING was everything I hoped it to be. The war between Digigurio and Dizelmine now boils down to a war for survival, and to be fair there is no easy out since doing nothing would simply result in the destruction of both planets in one if not two super [...]

Natsuyuki Rendezvous episodes 01-03: Mai Dead Husbando Can’t Be This Cute…

By Hana | Published: July 22, 2012

…and by ‘Cute’, I mean ‘Annoying’. While the angsty, serial-plant-buying bishie and the slow start were negatives, once you get past the first ten minutes, this new josei show from the noitaminA time-slot with its pretty art and gentle humour really grows on you. Plus, it gets bonus points for an early confession and its [...]

Muv Luv Alternative – Total Eclipse – 03: TSF 0083 Plus

By Crusader | Published: July 17, 2012

So now that Kyoto has been reduced to rubble and ruin it only seems proper that the UN get its shit together now that almost all of Eurasia has been lost. I am doing my best to avoid spoilers and the like and as a green horn I cannot understand how having a Top Gun [...]
