Finally, Nagi no Asukara crosses the finish line. They added a little sprint at the end to shave a second off their time, but frankly, it didn't amount to much in the long run. To start this episode we got the people on the surface trying to figure out just what the hell is going … Continue reading The last finales: Asukara, Yakuindomo
The events of Nagi no Asukara 25 seems to be all about gods playing dice with the loves of adolescents and young adults. Actually, for a while it looked like things had settled down. Hikari loves Manaka, and if Manaka could, she'd love him back. Miuna isn't happy about this because she loves Hikari, too, … Continue reading Asukara 25, Yakuindomo ?, Nisekoi and Fool 12
Kill la Kill 23 is a big epside with lots of dramatic moments, fighting, and shouting, all to get us ready for the big finale next week. Good thing, too. Frankly, it's beginning to wear thin. When you have a show as over-the-top and intense as this one, you run the danger of bludgeoning the … Continue reading Kill 23, Nobunagun, Yakuindomo, and Chuunibyou Ren 11
Sorry, busy with work so I'm falling behind. Nagi no Asukara 23 spends most of its time not trying to figure out how to get Manaka's ability to love back, but instead whether she's better off without it. On the pessimistic side are Chisaki and Kaname, with Hikari and Sayu doing the yelling for the … Continue reading Asukara 23, Chuunibyou Ren and Yakuindomo * 10
Nobunaga the Fool 8 again removes any hope of serious intrigue by rushing through the story. We have Caesar, with the loyalty of Takeda behind him and lusting after Ichihime, settling in, all ready for some intrigue (at least he's plotting things), but Nobunaga decides to go ahead and attack and ruin his fun. There's … Continue reading Fool 8, Nobunagun and Yakuindomo2 9
Nobunagun 8 has Sio and her guys joining up with another bunch of guys to fight what they're calling a battleship, though it looks like a giant octopus to me. No wait, only two tentacles, so would that be a bipus? Whatever it is, the first platoon has to take out one tentacle, our guys … Continue reading Nobunagun 8, Fool 7, Yakuindomo* 8
Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda 6 has Kate, Roboko, Natasha, and Itsuka entering Jimon's school as transfer students. This is relatively late in the series for them to do this. Normally the weirdos transfer in during episode 1 or 2. But they might not stay long; they're only there to look for the "Udo Bride," … Continue reading Zvezda 6, Dandy, Nobunagun and Yakuindomo 7
