Dream (Level 20)

A decent action-comedy title for me to watch. Slayers more or less parodies medieval/ fantasy style plots found in stuff like the Dungeons and Dragons games. Major characters like Lina and Zelgadis tend to be aware of their status within the title at points and remarking on the enemies and ...

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex was a title I never had a chance at seeing in its entirety during its run on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block and being on a Netflix subscription, I decided to rent the series throughout this month. And for a sci-fi action title, ...

This second season to Genshiken had quite a bit that made it a bit different for me from the first season (much of it good, some bad) which has led me to think of this season as perhaps the best offered by Genshiken and which impressed me quite a bit. ...

As a parody comedy, Abenobashi excels. As a drama, it's a mixed bag. The series tries to pass itself off as a comedy-drama focused on Sasshi's escape from reality with Arumi in the various silly worlds of Abenobashi that are thought up from his otaku interests. The big problem with ...

Watching Lucky Star must have been the biggest test of tolerance for me since I was going through Texhnolyze from three years ago. I was warned that the series wasn't for everyone and in my case, I felt like I wanted to go nuts after going through each episode of ...

Compared to the first series, there are some big differences you will notice as you start watching the series, clearly shown through the visuals as they were animated through a different studio this time around. The artwork for Il Teatrino is much simpler, lacking the detail and polish that the ...

This anthology of Japanese short stories did enough at grabbing my interest with both its intense storylines on both the emotional and suspenseful side, as well as the visual presentations conveyed for the themes of each title. Considering the separate stories for this series, I'll post my thoughts on each ...

Watching Mnemosyne was kind of like watching softcore porn on Cinemax with blood, gore and torture tossed into the mix. However, the plot to Mnemosyne wasn't entirely an excuse for gore and sex as there was a decently put together plot to pay attention to throughout what some have mistakenly ...

Eve no Jikan was a title I overlooked between 2008 and 2009 as I was more fixated on watching older titles and recent TV titles from Japan as I hardly even knew of anime that were exclusively released in ONA format at the time except for either storybook game promotions ...

Whatever you think of Occult Academy when you get through its entire run will depend on what your expectations were when you first seen the series. If you think of it as a parody of various occult phenomena the show has fun poking fun of, then this is where you ...

I remember watching episodes of several Gundam titles on and off back when Toonami was still airing on Cartoon Network yet the one that I did watch a majority of was G Gundam. Back then, I was glued on seeing what I could of the series while I was in ...

Man, this was a fun movie. Summer Wars mixes around social commentary on the potential negatives of modern technology with a coming-of-age focus on the developments faced by Kenji and Natsuki as they deal with Natsuki's family and the Love Machine virus affecting Oz, as well as some laughs to ...

This season of Darker than Black was quite a mess compared to the first season and OAV that I seen which makes my viewing of it before the second season somewhat pointless. I know why Hei's a drunkard and more merciless in battle, as well as the changes in Yin ...

If you want a gritty, yet intriguing, title dabbling into the supernatural, gang wars and Internet anonymity while exploring coming-of-age dilemmas involving three teens, then look no further than Durarara. The series as a whole is about accepting one self and others despite one's insecurities over parts of yourself you ...

As promised from my Devil's Advocate poll, I went to rewatch Nadesico after my prior dropping of the series after the show's first two episodes and here to offer up my thoughts of the series. However as much as it pains for me to say this, the classic hype surrounding ...
