White Album Review

White Album may make you work harder than any other soapy drama anime series, but I think the payoff is worth it. For those of you who love to hate, there’s also some truly weak male characters in Touya and Akira. The best part is that all the portions that piss you off [...]

Tower of Druaga: Sword of Uruk Review

The first Tower of Druaga season started off slowly, but gradually built up speed and had me super-excited for season 2. Although ToD: SoU was able to maintain some of what I enjoyed in season 1, it was never able to generate the same thrills or laughs. Other than maybe episode 7, most [...]

Shikabane Hime: Aka Review

When I first started Shikabane Hime, I was hit with a bit of information overload.

Birdy the Mighty Decode Review

It took me forever to finish this series, and I probably would have dropped it if it wasn’t only one-cour. After a decent start, this show really went down the crapper and never pulled itself back out. The main problem with this series (aside from poor directing) is Tsutomu and since we’ll be [...]

Kamen no Maid Guy Review

Right after I finally finished watching the last two episodes, I was so disappointed in how the series ended. However, then I realized that the fact that I was disappointed meant that KnMG had somehow become a decent anime series in my mind. I had some pretty low expectations of KnMG going in, [...]
