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 [...]

Shikabane Hime: Aka Review

When I first started Shikabane Hime, I was hit with a bit of information overload. This is a trend that continues through the whole series, but as the mystery started to deepen, I realized that the information was setting up a complex set of alliances.

Kannagi Review

Considering that Kannagi looked like a silly wooden version of Akikan! at first, it was a pleasant surprise to find that the series was less about harems and fanservice and more about good-natured comedy.

Toshokan Sensou Review

Review: Liar Game Live-Action

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched any live-action; I think the last one I saw was the hokey yet fun Hana Yori Dango. This time around, I was looking for something leaning more towards suspense, so I marathoned Liar Game (based on the manga of the same name). The story centers around [...]
