With Rise of Legends chomping down on my free time, I haven’t been exploring as many new series as I usual. However, now that I have given up trying to beat one Toughest AI with two human players, I have more time to devote to anime.
Top Five This Month:
Nana: So frickin’ good - [...]
It’s great to be back, and it’s even better to have so many great series to choose from. I can’t remember the last time I had to make tough decisions to narrow down my list of favorite series in a month, but it’s a wonderful feeling.
Top Five This Month:
Ouran Host Club: Ender [...]
Like a fresh spring breeze, the new season has really blown away the stank of that horrific winter slop. It was right at the opening of Utawarerumono (as I was trying to figure out how to say the title) that my faith in the goodness of the world was reaffirmed and my will to [...]
It’s that time again, folks. Then again, when is it not time to post more pointlessly opinionated lists?
Board Leaders:
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: I think everyone and their second cousin’s dog watches this. A no-brainer.
Utawarerumono: Surprisingly solid for an H-conversion. It’s got all the trappings of a totally [...]
We’re getting close to the Spring season, and we’ll be able to get rid of the pretenders. Several shows continue to earn viewers due to the weak competition, but there were a few decent ones this month.
Top Five This Month:
Gun X Sword: What a strange series! The ending came like a [...]
I’ve been taking it pretty easy again this month, and haven’t even gotten into the backlog as I had planned. Blame it on World of Warcraft and Battlefield 2.
Top Five This Month:
Binchou-tan: This is such a bittersweet series! I can’t even handle the roller coaster of emotions I have when I watch this [...]
I really haven’t been following much lately due to an insane work schedule. Some great series like SSO and Rozen Maiden Traumend have just finished up, while others like Gun X Sword are still lounging around in raw heaven. If only we had some connections with Shinsen…
Here’s the current league leaders thus far:

No confirmed Mai sightings yet, so things are still peachy. I’m not following as many series as usual at the moment (what with the lull before the new season really gets under way), but what I have been watching has been really gripping. I haven’t even had a chance to dip into my [...]
Am I being too cynical when I say I’m amazed at how well all the good series have been finishing up? Although I am scared of the coming season (perhaps I will get to catch up on the backlog now), I really like how the fall series are wrapping up. Most of my [...]
As the cold dreariness of winter approaches, nothing warms me up like a little whine and cheese. Strong melodrama and romantic angst have helped make up for the lack of good shounen recently, and I’ve even made my first forays into live-action dorama. Naturally, Suzuka retains the top spot, but wouldn’t it be [...]
Progress has been rather lacking lately due to a busy work schedule. Still wondering what happened to the Futokoi Alt subbing, of course. However, here’s a rather brief look at what I liked:
Top Dogs
1. Full Metal Panic! TSR : This was a no-brainer. I do have a bone to pick [...]
What a month, as several hard hitters ended, and plenty of new contenders filed in. While some series went out strong (Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid), others dipped a bit (Honey & Clover), and then there’s Gundam Seed Destiny which simply mailed it in completely. We’ve gotten reliable subbing for many series, [...]
September was definitely a strange month, as far as watching anime goes. Although there were many things I wanted to watch, it seemed like none of them got subbed this month. It was nice to get two episodes of Futakoi Alternative, but I was starved for some Gun X Sword, Full Metal Panic: [...]
