Spice and Wolf sounds like it would be an interesting journey, but I was left feeling underwhelmed for most of the ride. I liked the premise of Lawrence meeting the wolf-deity Horo and promising to show her the world before taking her back to her hood, but along the way I began to care [...]

Grim Grimoire: Kabitzin, This One’s For You
7/4/2007 – 8:17 am
Gather ’round kiddos, as it’s time for a flashback scene into Kabitzin’s mysterious past. Once upon a time, our mutual friend Velius and I invited Kabitzin to join us in a round of Warlords Battlecry II, an excellent real-time strategy game which we had been enjoying. Kabitzin warned us that this would be [...]
Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm
6/28/2007 – 1:19 am
Inspired by Jeff’s recent acquisition of a PS2 and positive first impression of Atelier Iris 3, I decided to give it a whirl as well, since Grim Grimoire isn’t readily available yet.
Though reviews are extremely mixed, I have to say that I am actually enjoying AI3 quite a bit. Being rather sick [...]
Zero no Tsukaima Review
10/16/2006 – 11:28 am
Zero no Tsukaima is a rather cliche harem-action series, but I think the strong execution helped lift it just above mediocrity. The start of the 13-episode series was especially good, but later episodes couldn’t quite keep up the pace or the humor.
Now when I say that ZnT is cliche, I’m not exaggerating. [...]
Kiddy Grade Review
5/28/2006 – 7:59 pm
While I had no broadband, one of the things I did was marathon some anime I’d been saving up. I’d had Kiddy Grade for a while now, and I finally had the perfect opportunity to power through it. I still remember the first time I heard about Kiddy Grade: Ender was complaining to [...]
Shakugan no Shana Review
3/27/2006 – 2:49 pm
I know it might come as a bit of a surprise, but I don’t think of Shakugan no Shana as a really excellent series. While the characters got to be quite interesting, the music was fantastic, and the visuals remained very strong throughout, the whole thing felt empty to me, kinda like Hecate. [...]
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan Review
10/15/2005 – 6:00 pm
I know it’s unfair to expect too much from such a short series, but I would have liked Bokusatsu Tenshi a lot more if it had been able to maintain its high concentration of OMFGWTFBBQ moments throughout all 8 episodes. The production values were quite high, and I enjoyed the art style and the [...]
