Clannad - Why I Love It, and why it’s probably more than you think
Clannad: the viusal novel about family. We’ve all at least heard of it, many of us are watching it, and a few of us had the pleasure of playing the original 50+ hours VN. By this point, it’s hard for one to call Clannad cliche, or to accu...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 10]
Not unlike a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces of this little fairy tale are finally coming together - but the closer we reach to completion, the more mysterious the final image appears. Somewhere on the line between tragedy and salvation, the story and char...
Clannad ~After Story~ [ep 10]
Tomoya and Nagisa continue their blissful lives, wavering unsteadily on the line between realism and escapism. I’m not even sure what to classify this show as any more, but it looks as if my dream has come true: there really is a borderline-sho...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 9]
After Miyako’s 99 Missed Calls scene in memories, I believe it was evident to all of us that there was more to ef than met the eye, especially in terms of psychology. Though based on an eroge and technically following the VN adaptation formula,...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 8]
Fear the power of psychological breaking. We all knew this guy was messed up, but it looks like he’s messed up and smart, which is a bad combination for our tragic couple. It looks like this is the beginning of the end - and it’s an end t...
Clannad ~After Story~ [ep 9]
I take back what I said, KyoAni; looks like Clannad is still awesome after all. After going through a multitude of side arcs, some of which were great (and others, not so much), it appears as if it’s finally rabu-rabu time. And knowing me, that...
Winter 2009 Preview
Before we start, let me say this: there is no way I can possibly enjoy the upcoming season more than the current one, even aside from ef. Fall 2008 has been one of the best seasons I remember in quite some time, and so it would be unfair to expect th...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 7]
A mere week after the biggest twist of the series - and still one of my favourite scenes ever - the Kuze/Mizuki arc shoots forward in leaps and bounds. If you thought it couldn’t get any better, then…well, I suppose you were half wrong. M...
Clannad ~After Story~ [ep 8]
Clannad needs to be renamed GARnnad or something like that, seriously. Such high doses of manliness in a Key game seems just a little bit suspicious to me…but alas, on with the post. There was at least one moment of EPIC WIN to make it all wort...
Clannad ~After Story~ [ep 7]
ITT nice gangsters. Yukine’s arc begins with a bit less than a bang, though Clannad continues to keep up its balance between comedy and slice of life. I’ve just gotta stop thinking of this as a tear-jerker…and sadly, by the time I ...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 6]
The story seemed pretty innocent so far, didn’t it? Considering the genre, as well as the first season, we all knew that a few heartbreaking twists were bound to come at some point - forgotten memories, a painful childhood, something of the sor...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 3]
Things progress quickly in the world of ef - which is only natural, I suppose, considering we’ve only got 12 episodes to cover a pair of dramatic love stories worthy of the greatest Key games and Shinkai films. The only thing better than a show...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 2]
I know I said this already, but really, this show is brilliant. Only two episodes in, and I’m already smitten - the animation is absolutely beautiful, the characters are unusual yet likeable, and the Shinbo/SHAFT combo is doing everything that ...
Clannad ~After Story~ [ep 3]
Oh boy, am I going to have fun with the screencaps this time. Sanae Sanako, you are now officially awesome. Worried Sanae = MOE OVERLOAD lolwut Somehow I get the feeling he doesn’t mind… You can’t tell from the screencap, b...
Clannad ~After Story~ [ep 2]
And to think I once thought that Clannad had only five girls… Traditional Key-style surreal setting, as usual. Looks like Mei will be around more often this season, and I’m not complaining. If you say so… Shh! Not so loud̷...
ef - a tale of melodies [ep 1]
All right, take a deep breath, stretch, relax your fingers… …good. I hope I’ll be able to deliver you a relatively intelligent post on the first episode of the sequel to the extraordinary ef - a tale of memories, but if not, then do...
Clannad ~After Story~ [ep 1]
It’s here. Half a year since the conclusion of Nagisa’s route and consequently the main story, it’s finally here. With as much moe, as much comedy, and hopefully as much drama as ever before, the KyoAni/Key combination is back. They...
Lucky Star OVA
It’s a bit late, but better late than never, right? With this weekend being the first weekend of the fall season, I figured, why not kick start this whole thing with probably the most eagerly anticipated OVA of the season? No, this was probably...
Code Geass R2 - 25 [END]
We’ve sure come a long way since the beginning, haven’t we? Through the American history, through the Death Note-esque foreshadowing, and through the complexity surrounding the power of Geass - at the end of it all, the conclusion awaits....
Code Geass R2 - 24
I’ll resist my urge to put that pic on the front page to spare those unfortunate enough to not be following this show yet. This one’s definitely a big one - probably the biggest developments we’ve seen since Charles’ death - ...
Code Geass R2 - 23
This time, Lelouch gets even more messed up daring. That explains things… Yup, he’s definitely gone mad. Isn’t it sad, Cornelia? Lelouch and C.C. make an awesome pair, romantically or not. Is this a reference that I fo...
Fall 2008 Preview
Well, people, it’s that time of year again: the time when every show of the season nears it’s hopefully impressive conclusion, and when we plan out our watch lists from the anime set to come at us in only a few weeks. Admittedly, IR...
Code Geass R2 - 22
Emperor Lelouch, eh? We’ll see how this all turns out in a few weeks time…for now, let’s stick to discussing Lelouch’s idea of democracy. I’ll let the pictures do the talking. It’s Geass, it HAS to somehow invol...
Code Geass R2 - A brief retrospect
I believe it’s safe to say that every anime fan has their own taste in anime; from the GAR of Gurren Lagann to the moé of Kanon to the romance of Special A, everyone finds a few shows from each given season based on their genres or their staff...
