Fall Anime Impressions: Before We Go Winter

Greetings! This is a short preview of our impressions of the Fall Season so far. We’ll be using the rating as follows:
Excellent
Good
Fair
Neutral
Poor
The ratings are based on the first episodes and only the first episodes!
All writers are involved in this post, a lot of blood spilled just to write fall preview -_-. And we’re not doing Vampire Knight Guilty or Junjo Romantica 2. Because all three of us didn’t complete season 1 at all, and Junjo Romantica is yaoi. We hate yaoi! Woohoo!
And because zenical has barely the time to …

Favorite Anime Characters

I made this list of my top 100 favorite characters at least 3 months ago (I could probably change a few around after the most recent season of shows)… but I was asked the other day to name some of my favorite characters and a friend of mine was surprised that there was no common “link” to why I like certain anime charactersxD Some people choose all moe-loli characters… or Bishounen… Maybe my preference is just towards characters that are weird? xD
36-Female 64-Male
(Maybe a good handful are Bishie charactersxD?)
ehhh… 1 …

Yotsubato!…Hopes Crushed Again

Looking up anime news this morning I ran across a title with the words “Yotsubato!” and “Anime” in the same sentence and I nearly jumped out of my seat. Unfortunately it was the mangaka AGAIN saying that they have no intention of allowing Yotsubato to be animated… along with excuses that make no sense.
For those of you who have not read Yotsubato you need to put down the Naruto, the World of Warcraft… or Playstation 3 Little Big Planet (lol Zen) and read ASAP. Its made by the same …

Spice and Wolf Season 2 In the Works!

Old news, but a second season has finally been announced for Spice and Wolf. This was kind of expected since they didn’t reach their destination in season onexD, but still a nice surprise. While people have mixed feelings about this show (1/2 thinks its boredom to the point of tears, and the other just like wolf girls) I personally really enjoyed this series. Its a change from my usual diet of comedy and action genres; very mellow.
Short summary of the series: A merchant teams up with a wolf goddess of …

Akihabara – Past & Present

Akihabara, the place for otakus for anime goodies, figurines, games and many more! Presently – that is our vision of that wonderful Otaku Land. Chanced upon this at Akiba Today. Did you know the past Akihabara used to be all about PC parts? People went there mainly for computer stuff, and not figurines or anime-related goods.

Akihabara has moved from DIY electronics to entertainment media like video games, figures or anime goods.
Makers of independent games or manga however are gathering around Chuo Dori, turning Akiba into the Otaku Mecca it is …

Minami-ke: Okawari

Just finished watching Minami-ke: Okawari today. Yes finally managed to clear one of my backlogged anime series. Had to say, I didn’t really expect much from the anime. I enjoyed the first one more than this. Perhaps it has to do with some effect of Chiaki having another hair colour. Lol
The last episodes was brilliant, and the way how the anime series ended was totally hands down! Instead of having randoms stories in the episode, they concentrated on Haruka going overseas for her studies. Oh wait, she was asked by …
