Monster
Episodes: 74
Genres: Mystery, Psychological, Horror
Aired: Apr 7, 2004 to Sep 28, 2005
Producer: Madhouse
I’m not particularly sure what brought me to this series. For some reason I believe it had to do with a severe misunderstanding that arose when I was looking for the series Darker than Black. It ended up being a stroke of luck though, because this series was truly amazing.
The only other series I can compare this to is Death Note. Both have a very real feeling. Both their animation and tone are similar, although Monster …

Busou Renkin
Episodes: 26
Genres: Shounen, Supernatural, Action
Aired: Oct 5, 2006 to Mar 29, 2007
Producer: Geneon
Originally someone recommended that I watch this series when they discovered that I’m a huge fan of Rurouni Kenshin. Busou Renkin was made by the same author. In the last three years since its been recommended I’ve lost it once when my external hardrive died, and another time when my computer required to be restored. I decided I needed to finally sit down and watch this series before something else catastrophic happened.
The basic plot is …

Since this weekend was slow for anime news, here is my quick impression of one of last season’s most popular series. This isn’t a review though; since a second season is coming eventually… Though if this was a review I’d say this series is OK xP

Just a note; the only reason I ended up watching this series was a post M made a while back xD
DANCING SAMURAI OPENING xP

Impressions:
+ They have horses that defy the laws of Gravity
+ Said horses also have Motorcycle attachments
+ The Main characters aren’t samurai… they’re …

Mononoke
Episodes: 12
Genres: Horror, Fantasy, Mystery, Psychological
Aired: Jul 13, 2007 to Sep 28, 2007
Producer: Toei Animation
What initially enticed me to watch this series was the amazing animation style. The vibrant colors and Japanese style art work give this series alot of charisma. I had also heard alot of people compare this series to Mushishi, a beautiful series about supernatural spirit beings called “Mushi” and how they interact with mankind and nature. I personally felt it bore much more resemblance to Requiem from the Darkness, though not nearly as disturbing. …

Hana Yori Dango

Genres: Drama, Romance, Comedy
Aired: Sep 8, 1996 to Aug 31, 1997
Producer: Toei Animation
For years now I have been hearing about the J-drama Hana Yori Dango, but not being a big J-drama fan I decided to check out the anime instead.
Story: The series revolves around a common high school girl named Tsukushi Makino who just wants to blend into the crowd and have a peaceful high school life. But she feels somewhat out of place Eitoku High School, an elite institution of the richest and …

I finally caught up to the latest episode of Haruhi S2 recently. I didn’t sleep through all eight episodes – I read from my twitter list that most of the people actually skipped a couple of episodes. Well not me -_-.
The last episode of the Endless Eight arc stood out a lot. Why? Mikuru’s crying face. I have never seen her cry that much in the previous 15,000 loops that happened, and this is probably one scene I will remember forever.

One crying face I can’t forget
Yuko Goto, did an excellent …

So the last time I did a post on Saki was sometime around 3 weeks back and I’ve an itch to write about it again. Why? Because it’s so awesome they take 5 weeks to play the last round of Mahjong.

Yes. This show is beginning to feel like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu’s Endless Eight arc, without the repeating scenes each week of course. While I still very much like this show because it features:

Mahjong
Cute Girls
Special Effects
Powerful Seiyuu Cast
the occassional Yuri scenes
the very much frequent Sweaty Thighs scenes
Haramura Nodoka
and Amae Koromo

Etopen. …

Kanamemo this Summer 2008 is a loli show filled with yuri. Initially when I first started watching Kanamemo it was solely because of her. I didn’t even know it contains yuri-action!! Well, the yuri action is only between 2 girl characters as far as Episode 2 currently. I don’t know whether there will be any more yuri action between the girls.. I highly doubt so XD. *fingers crossed*
So a short introduction of the girls from Kanamemo. I even researched on the seiyuu cast !!^_^V BANZAI.
First up,
Nakamachi Kana
Kana is a 13-year …

BECK
Episodes: 26
Genres: Slice of Life/Drama, Music
Aired: Oct 7, 2004 to Mar 31, 2005
Producer: Madhouse Studios
I had been told a few times over the last few years that I should watch the series BECK.  Now that I’ve finally given it a chance realize why I had gotten so many recommendations for it. The story is really very heart touching.
Story: The story centers around a 14 year old boy named Tanaka Yukio (Or Koyuki). He is one of the most pitiful sad middle school boys you’ve ever seen. He …
