Cruel Angel Theses

So I’ve noticed that the anime blogosphere is as incestuous as a chapter in COMIC LO. Everyone links to the same old same old, and I’m guessing you guys haven’t updated your blogrolls in ages, or can’t be arsed to get out there and look for new things to read. Which is fine and dandy [...]

I read 19 volumes of it yesterday. It’s nice to revisit what I’ve been proclaiming (to anyone who’ll listen) as the “best shounen series ever”, and by “shounen series” I mean of the fighting type. I went off on a tangent on BATESZI’s poll in his blog about it until I realised he was talking [...]

If rational, level-headed opinions (and sarcasm) offend your conservative, illogical sensibilities, you can still turn back. You don’t have to read beyond this. No one’s forcing you to do anything, no sirree. Exit’s that way.
It’s easy to spin anything. Bet you didn’t know that. The witch-hunting, pitchfork-waving mob gets their kicks from taking things out [...]

I don’t have any real issues with Hayao Miyazaki’s work for the record, they’re pieces of art blah blah critically acclaimed blah blah but it just doesn’t resonate with the average anime viewer. How many of you reading this actually like his work enough to put it at your #1 spot(s)? It’s give or take [...]

The trainwreck that I thought was sola apparently isn’t. If it manages to keep up its pace there’s even the chance it might escape with a few medium-to-deep cuts and severe bruising, but it made me wait for nine episodes. Made me wait for 9 episodes. That’s as long as 216 minutes. And that’s terrible.
My [...]

…wait. There isn’t any “fun” in “Touhou” to begin with. Which is soberingly true, but besides the point. I put my brand-new, 120GB Seagate 2.5″ external to good use today by bringing it over to the house of J, a close friend of mine, and passing him two seasons of Honey & Clover, Code Geass, [...]

Been ages since my last StrikerS post, but that’s got nothing to do with how I found the Teana-emo arc immensely entertaining. Yeah, if it isn’t apparent already, I’m not one of those whiners who constantly rag on StrikerS for being “boring”, because it’s been gaining considerable momentum, and what better way to get things [...]

This is about how Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! was pretty much like Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. By “pretty much” I mean “a lot”, and if you’ve seen both like I have you should be able to see the connection. It’s damn obvious if you ask me. Pity not many saw the glory that was Ray [...]

As some of you might now know (if you didn’t already), I’m a Darker than Black fanboy. It’s all about Hei and the extent of adoration that heterosexual males like myself can profess without veering into dangerous territory, which means that I think that posts like these are lame. I prefer rational discussions rather than [...]
