Why Saki is just so addictive

So. Ever heard of the Mahjong anime, Saki? Well basically it’s all about cute girls playing mahjong and apparently the whole of Japan treats Mahjong as a national sport. Girls, Mahjong. Does that actually sell? Well, for me it does. But it took a little more before I became hooked to the show.

Presenting the one-reason why I’m super hooked to the show. AMAE KOROMO!!!

more Koromo (Cute Side)

and Koromo again. (Demon Side)
So. Yeah. If you haven’t started watching Saki but don’t have a reason to, let me list the things that …

Needless – Episode 1

I’m trying to think of the appropriate words to describe this chaotic series. If I had to compare it to another anime… I’d say its some mutant love child between Gurren Lagaan, Yugioh, Fist of the North Star, and Mega Man… But that doesn’t even begin to explain it. There’s some sort of plot about the “Black Spot” and people with super powers called “Needless” that some sort of organization is after… but basically what I saw were Explosions, Piles of Dead corpses, Girls who don’t know what bras are, …

Canaan- Episode 1

Canaan is based of a video game named 428: Fūsasareta Shibuya de, and Is created by type-moon who made the popular series Fate/Stay Night, and ongoing movie series Kara no Kyoukai.  After only the opening I was very impressed by the animation. The first episode throws your right in the middle of a chaotic battle between unknown forces in the middle of Shanhai during a huge festival. It is very fast paced and introduces alot of characters and special matrix like powers so fast I’m not 100% sure if I …

Umineko No Naku Koro Ni – Episode 1

The first new series I’ve watched so far this summer; Being a fan of Higurashi no Naku koro ni I just couldn’t pass this over. The first episode deals mostly with setting the plot and introducing us to an exhausting list of characters which hopefully will die soon enough that I don’t have to remember most of their names.

First of all, I was pretty imressed with the opening “One Winged Bird.” The song and the animation was decent (Though not nearly as memorable as the mesmorizing Higurashi opening <3~I really …
