Mawaru Penguindrum’s 1st Episode is Untouchable Brilliance
I won’t say anything else because it feels like trying to explain how I feel about this show at this point, is useless and will read like high-brow elitist posturing. Yes, it has all those things going for it. I’ve seen better-executed melodrama and comedy concerning life, death, fate, family in the first half [...]
Like An All-Female JAM Project Song
Is how the Sengoku Otome op felt to me. First ep was a lot more fun than I’d expected and left me looking forward to more. If you can imagine a cross between Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Mai-HiME, and the Sengoku era, then clearly you wrote Sengoku Otome. (Don’t take that comparison too seriously [...]

Some love his visually bizarre work, others loathe it for its apparent pretentiousness. Very few people tend to be in the middle. Plenty across the internet have weighed in already – and they tend [...]
Even in soft focus, there’s no substitute for “being there”
Partially due to Crunchyroll availability, and partially due to JC Staff’s recent track record, I checked out Aoi Hana (aka Sweet Blue Flowers). I can’t say I’m normally into this kinda stuff — it’s not as if I’m the target demographic — but as has really been the case lately, JC Staff has taken something [...]
