Saki: The Never Ending 5th Round of Mahjong

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 : Yuri and Loli

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
