Wandering Son: The Ballad of Chi and Sasa

By Crusader | Published: February 1, 2011

One of the things that bothered me about Wandering Son was my inability to comprehend Nitori and Takataski’s desire to physically convert to the other gender. I understand that there is at least one confirmed gender reassigned character I didn’t quite understand their desire or insistence that their gender identity be manifested physically. It was [...]

Shiki Full Review: Mysteries left hanging…

By Reverse Vampire | Published: January 7, 2011

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. [...]

Interstellar Flight: Watching Anime with Fellow Fans over the Internet

By ghostlightning | Published: January 2, 2011

My anime and manga hobby is too, a social activity. It isn’t quite enough for me to watch a show by myself and be content to enjoy it by myself then move to the next one. I derive a lot of gratification sharing the experience with others. It is why blogging is so enjoyable for [...]

2010 Honor Roll

By ExecutiveOtaku, Hana and Crusader | Published: December 31, 2010

Unlike that honor these do not require a beheading… With the passing of 2010 we thought that it was time to recognize those who showed individual competence during the course of the year. While it is the habit of many to judge series here we prefer to recognize the characters that made their shows a [...]

Animehouse-Five: A Duty-Dance with Remembrance

By Chronolynx | Published: December 28, 2010

This is a post somewhat in the nostalgic schizophrenic manner of a Twelve Days of Anime post, which while not quite where the flying saucers are from is alien enough to me. Due to (my) laziness it is compacted into one post. (Also there aren’t twelve. Whatever.) Herein I list my favorite moments in anime [...]

On Protracted Conflict: Lessons Learned for the Osananajimi

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: November 25, 2010

With grand performances in Amagami SS and Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai, this has been quite the strong season for the osananajimi/childhood friend. Given the previous work done in strategic and operational doctrine for both shoujo/josei and the aspiring suitor here at THAT, I’m here attempting to contribute to this body [...]

My Genshiken

By ghostlightning | Published: October 20, 2010

My Genshiken is real. It exists. It can’t replicate it in meatspace, thought it can come pretty close. But my Genshiken is indeed real. You might even be part of it.

Sengoku Basara 2 – Where’s the TRUE GAR?

By Mystlord | Published: October 19, 2010

What I expected. Sorry for being absent lately, I’ve been busy with various things (like university! Oh boy. Buying time management skills plz.), but I’m still here. I’m pretty far behind on a lot of animes, but one that I caught up on and finished recently (read: one two three four weeks ago and I [...]

Regular Battleship Yamato: The only thing as noticeable as Strike Witches Lack of Pants

By Crusader | Published: September 26, 2010

I started watching Strike Witches on the recommendation of a few adherents to the cult of Yuri, and while it was quite striking in many ways the omission of pants and skirts was not the only thing I noticed. I never saw the first season and while the lack of pants is distinctive, I am [...]
