Solid episode of Sword Art Online. Things get accomplished in the game and in the real world. No one expected Kirito to just fly up and meet Asuna, but I was delighted by how hard he tried. After that dallying with the peace treaty ambush I was wondering if he had lost his inspiration, but … Continue reading SAO 22, Shinki 9 and an inevitable Wooser screenshot
Shin Sekai Yori 7 suggested that the kids were going to be in BIG trouble when they got back home after their crazy adventures, and maybe it's true. But if so, the adults sure take their time about it. We jump ahead two years, the hormones have kicked in, and everybody's gay. I mean EVERYONE, … Continue reading Shin Sekai Yori 8, Sukitte and Shinki 7
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 6, at least the first half, went about the way I expected. Bruford turns out to have a noble soul underneath that zombie bloodlust, and it was just a matter of getting Jojo to realize it and appeal to the monster's unmonsterous side. Getting him out of that underwater predicament was the … Continue reading Jojo 6, SAO 19, Shinki 6
Space Brothers, being all about, you know, space and space exploration, pauses from any sort of plot development for an episode while Hibito gets launched. Which is as it should be. They've been leading to this from episode one. We see the launch from different perspectives and it's hard to say which one takes precedence. … Continue reading Space Bros 31, SAO 18, Busters and shinki 5, and two of those really short shows
Like many episodes there's not much plot progression in Space Brothers 30, and with one of the most important events of the series happening, and the show taking its sweet time over everything anyway, you'd be disappointed if they rushed the actual launch. Not to worry, we get plenty of it. We see the astronauts … Continue reading Space Bros 30, Jojo 4, Shinki 3
Sword Art Online 15 brings us what feels to be new season and apparently a new world to fight in, but first we get a depressing episode in the real world where we don't see the sun shine once. Kirito (can we still use that name?) is rehabilitating but not yet up to normal strength. … Continue reading SAO 15, and a few episode twos
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, based on a manga older than that mask, treats us to some old school fisticuffs and shouting. The theme of episode one, at least, is that naive good is always in danger from insidious evil pretending to be good, or maybe it's a critique of 19th century nobility. It starts with George … Continue reading New: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Little Busters, Busou Shinki
Too Old for Anime
