EDIT: shit.. title should read “random one-line reviews …” I blame my lack of sleep.

I spent 2 hours on Walfas.org’s Create a Touhou Character flash. Hes got some interesting things on his blog (including daily flash!)
[+Cokematic] is panther moe?

First of all, some quick thoughts on some many Fall shows – Read the rest of this entry »

This was supposed to be a Code Geass review, but since everyone and their mothers have already talked about it, I think my post can wait. Instead..

This is not just a graph of AIG’s stock price.

Along with Macross F, Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu was a show I did not plan on picking up until a a few weeks after it aired. To be honest, it started with quite a bang, but lost its charm quickly as there was nothing that really stood out in this show (except for maybe Haruka and possibly Mikan). Did Haruka carry the show through its 12 episode run?? Ratings after the jump!

Meido (MDO) shares have outperformed loli (LOL) shares so far in 2008

After 25 episodes, Macross Frontier comes to an end. It started strong, but I felt that midway through, the show kinda lost direction with its attmepts at character development and inconsistent animation quality. That being said, the last episode was so totally awesome that I just might be willing to forgive them. You see, the last episode had exactly what I wanted when I first decided to watch Macross, music, Alto hime and mecha!!

Overall: (8/10)
Story: (6/10)
Art:  (7/10)
Character: (8/10)
Enjoyment:(8/10)

It’s almost time for the Spring 2008 season! Historically, the spring season is one of my favorites, although it’s looking a bit weak this year. Nevertheless, the past month, I’ve finished off most of what I have been watching so its time for a quick review!

So one day, like most, I was on Jason’s blog and happened to stumble across something called Hidamari Sketch. Although I’ve heard of it, I never really knew, nor did I bother finding out what it was about. But things look so different when you only other alternative is studying. So needing a break from studying, I glanced over a few brief summaries I though to myself “Hrmmm.. seems like my kinds of anime!” And so my Hidamari marathon began…

I can easily say that I was not a big fan of KyoAni/Key’s 2 previous game-turned-anime attempts. It really annoyed me how their mouths were always so close to their noses! Yet I had to see what all the hype surrounding Clannad was about (that and I needed a rebound anime after Gurren Lagann).

When I first started watching Gurren Lagann I never expected that I would be so into it! I didn’t even start watching until after episode 6 aired. That being said… this has to be one of my favourites this year. Maybe I just have a thing for GAINAX mecha shows… I mean look at FLCL. I loved it. Mahoromatic (well its not really mecha… )? Not bad. Evangelion? Yes I quite enjoyed that too (although I watched it in Cantonese, so I sat there for 20 minutes doing nothing but being bored during the last episode since I can’t read Chinese).

So what makes Gurren Lagann such a good series? Why did I come home every Monday night, throw off my shoes and check forthe latest Gurren Lagann release? Why was I totally hyped?
