Summer 2015 Anime Clusterfuck Opening Salvo: The Urobutcher’s Super Chaos Dragonball

Actually, I Am… Ok, first things first. What the hell is with the title of this show? I know this is supposed to be a literal translation of the Japanese title but I thought this was supposed to be called “My Monster Secret” not “Actually, I Am…” . That’s the name of the original manga right? Goddammit Sentai, next time chose the title that DOESN’T SOUND STUPID outside of the original nihongo. Well now that that rant is out of…

I haven’t stopped I’m still doing these! I’m really sorry that I didn’t put out issue reviews these last three weeks, especially since I only just started doing them. I’m afraid that the combination of extremely long issues, more important priorities and responsibilities to my work and my family, and being overseas with no access to my Vizmanga account or decent enough internet to load a single page of manga in less than ten minutes kind of made my ability…

In this week’s Jump, the Uchiha have an awkward family reunion, Chitoge and Onodera have an embarrassingly friendly chat about how each of their relationships with their crush (who happens to be the same person) is going, and a shit ton of secondary characters who we haven’t seen in a long, long, long, looooooonnnggg time come back in…pretty much every series in this issue, actually. All this and more, After the Jump! Weekly Shonen Jump: 2015, Issue No. 27 World…

So remember when I wrote that review of a bunch of currently-running manga chapters back in January? Remember how I said that I was going to do those every month and how I never followed up on that? Yeah…my bad. I got caught up in real-world shenanigans and the backlog of material I wanted to cover grew so big that I the task of going back to it seemed daunting. So, I’ve decided to skip writing about the manga chapters…

Spring Anime 2015 Clusterfuck Epilogue

Spring Anime 2015 Clusterfuck Epilogue

Knights of Sidonia: Battle for Planet Nine People say I am prone to hyperbole. That I tend to get more angry or enthusiastic about certain things more than others. And you know what? They’re probably right. I do to get a little carried with myself, not so much occasionally but frequently, but let me tell you something. What I’m about to say, I stand by completely, and you can take it to the bank with you… Knights of Sidonia is,…

Spring Anime 2015 Clusterfuck: Is It SNAFU to Try to Pick Up Vampire Nurses in the Food War?

Spring Anime 2015 Clusterfuck: Is It SNAFU to Try to Pick Up Vampire Nurses in the Food War?

Blood Blockade Battlefront I really didn’t know what to expect going into BBB. I’m a huge fan of original creator Yasuhiro Nightow’s previous work, Trigun, both the manga and it’s anime adaption, so although I wasn’t aware he made another manga after it until I looked it up after this anime was announced, I was hoping it would be a similarly entertaining series. Bones is a studio that tends to make well-produced, well-animated series, and I consider a lot of…

This thesis is the product of more than a year’s hard…

The Bizarre Adventures of Eggy Azalea and Mr. Freeze – Slainedrops Keep Falling On My Head

The Bizarre Adventures of Eggy Azalea and Mr. Freeze – Slainedrops Keep Falling On My Head

After a slightly disappointing episode last week, Aldnoah.Zero 2nd Season this week follows the previous episode in terms of pacing and tone, leaving the promise of more hilarious antics to be shown next week. In this week’s episode, however, we have a lack of Slaine once again, Inaho and Rayet bonding over angst and superpowers, and Lemrina being a little shit. Fun times. The Vers Count taken hostage last week, Count Mazuurek, is interrogated by Inaho and Rayet this week…

The Bizarre Adventures of Eggy Azalea & Mr. Freeze – Slaine Slaine Go Away, Come Again Some Other Day

Unfortunately (or fortunately, if you’re me), Aldnoah.Zero decided to take this week easy on its viewers, so this review will be quite short, as not much happened. Luckily enough, Aldnoah did not hit a new low today, as the show took time to reintroduce Yuki, Inaho’s sister, and Marito, the best girl of Aldnoah‘s 1st season. Marito now suffers from a new form of post-traumatic stress disorder, in which the brain deliberately triggers distressing imagery when facing danger, even though…

Winter 2015 Clusterfuck Eppologie: ISUCA [Lord Dalek + ShadowGentleman]

Winter 2015 Clusterfuck Eppologie: ISUCA [Lord Dalek + ShadowGentleman]

This season has been about as bypolar as they come, fluctuating from dizzying highs (Rolling Girls, Yatterman Night, and Death Parade) to soul crushing lows (World Break, Fafnir, Absolute Duo, Testament of Sister New Devil, ETC ETC ETC) with very little in between.  Happily though we’re all done with this season and won’t have to do another Clusterfuck article for another three months right? WRONG! Debuting three weeks late is ISUCA, a show based off a manga nobody cares about…
