Review: Nodame Cantabile Finale (のだめカンタービレ フィナーレ)
|
|
Classical music orchestra is Serious Business! As mentioned in the last review, Nodame Cantabile Finale is the fourth 2010 anime title reviewed here for the ongoing ‘Anime of the Year 2010’ audition. This anime is chosen specifically because I’m tired of seeing an application of a certain animation technique. Does this 2010 title utilized it

Review: Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (バカとテストと召喚獣)
|
|
The main protagonist and his SLR-toting sidekick. Both of them are perverted and are the best characters in this anime. The third review in the audition to choose the first winner of the ‘Anime of the Year 2010’ title will be for Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, which on the surface is very similar to

Review: Mayoi Neko Overrun! (迷い猫オーバーラン!)
|
|
The indecisive main male protagonist, dragging down this anime with his indecision. The audition to select the first winner of ‘Anime of the Year 2010’ title continues with my review of Mayoi Neko Overrun!, an anime where cat-girls doesn’t exist. There are lots of real cats though, which are not relevant to the storyline in

Review: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (鋼の錬金術師)
|

The main title protagonist. As mentioned in the last post, my review today is for the recently concluded Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood anime (simulcast in Animax Asia just like Tears to Tiara – actually quite a lot of recent anime titles does nowadays). Also in the same post, I mentioned that this anime, and Winter Sonata,

Review: Black Jack TV (ブラック・ジャック)
|
|
The bad-ass main title protagonist… …and this is an apt description for him. A few hours after Brazil was dumped out of World Cup by the Netherlands (definitely the best match to date), I finished watching yet another humongous 63-episode anime series, titled Black Jack TV. It includes 61 regular aired episodes and two extra

Review: Ergo Proxy (エルゴプラクシー)

The main male protagonist, who is about to be eaten. While hundreds of million of people around the world watched Spain slipped on a slick Swiss cheese, I’m watching a 2006 anime titled Ergo Proxy instead. Therefore after a long absence, Chocotto Sister will finally have its first challenger for the ‘Anime of the Year

Just like Pizza Hut sponsorship of Darker than Black and Code Geass, this anime is brought to you by Hagen-Dazs. If not for the World Cup, my review for the psychological thriller anime series Kara no Kyoukai – The Garden of Sinners would have come earlier. Even more so if the power supply of this

Review: Mrchen Awakens Romance (メルヘヴン)

The main male protagonist… Mrchen Awakens Romance is just the third anime series I reviewed here that contained 100 or more episodes, and that’s why it took me a little bit more than a month to watch the whole goddamn thing. This review would have come much earlier though if I don’t waste a week

Review: Cross Game (クロスゲーム)

Is this guy the main male protagonist of this anime? I’ve chosen Cross Game as the next anime to be reviewed in this blog over the final season of Nodame Cantabile, mainly because I want to wait until its 12th episode was aired and released. A 2009 anime, naturally this anime will compete with ‘Anime

Review: Minami-ke (みなみけ) S1

The main characters of this anime. So, between Minami-ke and Toaru Majutsu no Index, I picked the former. And oh boy, I do regret my choice. Actually I see that this title is a joint project between Anime Empire (that subs Capeta) and Saizen fansub groups, therefore I think this is a sport anime, and

The spirited main male protagonist and one of the best characters in this series. This review of Umineko no Naku Koro ni marks the beginning of an avalanche of, well, more anime reviews that will come in quick succession. It has been quite some time since I last done this,and this should be a good

Two most notable changes are the theme switch and the change of URL to a shorter one. All your bookmarks etc will still work because of the magic of mod_rewrite. To commemorate this occasion,

Our main protagonist, now biting puppy ears. Today when I want to write the review for this anime, only then I realized that my previous review for Needless is missing because of the server migration that happened nearly two weeks ago. Therefore it may seem that there are two reviews for today but actually there

Paradise Kiss is yet another of those anime that was screened on Animax Asia but I do not watch (even if my house

The paranoid main protagonist. In the midst of heavy work-load that is customary near the end of the year, I can still slip in a new short review of yet another sport anime, titled Ookiku Furikabutte. A 2007 anime, it will challenge Bokurano that was crowned as ‘Anime of the Year 2007’ holder just recently.

Review: Akagi (闘牌伝説アカギ 闇に舞い降りた天才)

The title protagonist. From the creator of the excellent Kaiji series, come another proper thriller anime titled Akagi (he actually wrote this one first before Kaiji). Unlike Kaiji which is basically a darker and deadly version of Wipeout Australia, Akagi is a mahjong anime (kind of like Saki). Therefore, this anime will be subjected to

This anime is much better than the previously reviewed 2009 anime Princess Lover!, but not good enough to

The main protagonist may have a harem filled with beautiful girls, but deep inside his heart he actually swings the other way. My review of Princess Lover! today would be my 10th review for this month alone, and I should be able to squeeze another couple of titles before this month is over. Princess Lover!

Review: Starship Operators (スターシップ・オペレーターズ)

If the disappointing Monochrome Factor should be used as a poster boy as an exhibit about how filler episodes can ruin a series, the shorter anime titled Starship Operators shows why a filler-free title makes it much more pleasant to watch. This is a 2005 anime, therefore none of the ‘Anime of the Year’ title
