Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of Dusk Sky I know jackpoo about Koei’s Atelier franchise other than its been running for a good two decades now and has accumulated a whopping 16 games in that time span. This show adapts the most recent one and for a simple straightforward game adaptation, its actually pretty decent. Then again the show does not really set that high of a standard for itself in the first place so… The plot is this: in…
Baby Steps The shounen sports genre, which was seemingly near dead in the previous decade, has seen a resurgence in previous years with a plethora of popular titles. Unfortunately, with that resurgence comes a ton of formulaic drivel that doesn’t really do anything to distinguish itself in any meaningful way. And, while it’s probably unfair to judge these sorts of series on just a single episode, being that they are slow-paced by nature, we have to hold them to the…
In a rather interesting development, Sunrise decided to get a leg up on the season by airing their new series “Keroro” two weeks early. Keroro Once upon a time, there was a little show called Sgt. Frog. Everybody said it was going to be the next big thing, that it was going to take America by storm, that you wouldn’t be able to escape seeing that little green bastard no matter how hard you tried…yeah that didn’t happen. ADV tried…
Buddy Complex Wow, a Sunrise robot show! Just seems like yesterday that the one last ended… (OH WAIT). So our typical Sunrise Robot Show Hero this time is Aoba Watase, whose main defining characteristic is… he doesn’t have one. Yeah this guy is about as white bread as a bag of Wonder. Nothing about him is distinctive so it comes off as a bit of a shock when a giant robot from the future arrives to kill him… wait what?…
Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova 20 years in the future, humanity has fallen into utter disarray due to ecological disasters and the appearance of the Fleet of Fog, mysterious boats that have cut off all communication and sea transport in most of the Pacific. Enter Gunzo Chihaya, captain of a stolen Fog submarine and his crew of Gecko State and Final Fantasy X-2 rejects. Also on-board (literally) is Iona, a strange cold aloof girl, who just happens to be…
And so begins the first real part of this season’s Clusterfuck. There will probably only be one more unless an anime gets delayed or something. Beyond The Boundary So a guy saves a girl from falling down a school, and then he gets attacked for his efforts. Also, he has a not-love interest who hangs out with him out of some sort of pity. But the guy can regenerate his wounds due to being a fusion between a human and…
This show aired early for some reason. And that means I have to write about it early. I’ve invented a new drink. One part lemon juice, two parts Budweiser, and one part Robitussin (the kids’ cough syrup shit), topped off with some bleach for a little extra kick; Clorox, usually. I call it the White Devil. I mostly ingest White Devils only before heading down to the corner of 6th and Stetson to work the dirty midnight streets — a…
Aaaaaand we’re late again. As usual. But you don’t read us for our timeliness, right? Hell, who am I kidding… you don’t read us at all. Blood Lad ON THE FIRST DAY… GOD CREATED SOUL EATER! AND THE PEOPLE DEEMED IT GOOD! ON THE SECOND DAY… GOD CREATED BLUE EXORCIST! AND THE PEOPLE DEEMED IT… not so good. AND ON THE THIRD DAY… GOD CREATED BLOOD LAD! AND THE PEOPLE SAID: “…the fuck is this?”. Yup, its another goofy monster…
