Psycho-Pass - 08

As the old carnival sign says, “This is a dark ride”.

Shirokuma Café - 35

“Sasako-san – doko no aru daro?”

Chuunibyou - 09

If there were any doubt that Chuunibyou would be pursuing the romance angle in its final arc, I think it’s safely dispelled now.

Weekly Digest: 11/29/12 – Magi, Kamisama Hajimemashita

These are two series that do a really good job delivering straightforward, no-nonsense entertainment.

Jormungand: Perfect Order - 08

If it seems as if there’s one character in Jormungand that’s always a step ahead of everyone else, that’s because there is.  Her name is Koko, but I don’t think she’s loco at all.

Sakurasou no Pet no Kanoujou - 08

Whatever else you may think about it, watching Sakurasou is certainly never a boring experience.

Tokyo Diary: 11/28/12 - Kamakura

This batch is pictures is from a day trip out to Kamakura with the school.

Ginga e Kickoff - 28

This ep was definitely a gift for the soccer geeks in the audience.

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun - 09

There’s no need to mince words – every week I grow more impressed by just how excellent Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is.

Sukitte Ii na yo - 08

That was a difficult episode to watch – mostly (but not entirely) for the right reasons.

Little Busters! - 08

Probably the best episode of Little Busters! so far, though that should hardly come as a surprise.

Weekly Digest: 11/26/12 – Kamisama Kiss, Btooom!

I finally found a more mismatched show to pair with Btooom!

Zetsuen no Tempest - 08

BONES really has the time travel bug lately…

Uchuu Kyoudai - 34

Raise your hand if you didn’t see that cliffhanger coming.

Tokyo Diary: 11/25/12 – Stranger in a Strange Land

This edition is all about Tokyo conspiring to keep me from getting too comfortable.

Shin Sekai Yori - 09

Shin Sekai Yori is once again comfortably the best series of the season.

Tokyo Diary: 11/24/12 – Tori-no-ichi, Takao-san

Crappy internet and too much to do have severely constrained my ability to consistently update, especially with the non-anime stuff.  I have a ton of pics and video, but the latter especially may end up not getting posted until I finally get a stable and non-throttled connection.

Psycho-Pass - 07

The art of the conversation – there’s no one in anime who does it quite like Urobuchi Gen.

Shirokuma Café - 34

The internet really is a wonderful resource.

Robotics;Notes - 07

So, yeah – remember that whole end of the solar system thing?  Still happening.

Chuunibyou - 08

This was a very effective follow-up to last week’s game-changer episode, and I can offer Chuunibyou no more straightforward compliment than that.

Bakuman 3 - 07

It probably hasn’t escaped your notice – it certainly hasn’t escaped mine – but Yoshida Kouji really is a terrible person.

Jormungand: Perfect Order - 07

Don’t mess with Team Koko.  Just don’t.

Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean - 23-24 (End) and Series Review

Only one thing was certain about these last two eps of Eureka Seven AO – they were going to be controversial.

Sakurasou no Pet no Kanojou - 07

Alas, sunk by my own words…

Hourou Musuko - 115

“Suki Tokimeki to Kisu”

Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun - 08

We have a situation in the two shoujo romances this season where the lead couple probably shouldn't be together, but for entirely different reasons.

Sukitte Ii na yo - 07

I really only had one problem with this excellent episode, but it’s a fairly big one.

Weekly Digest: 11/20/12 - Btooom!, Magi

I’m beginning to see a kind of sick wish-fulfillment at the center of Btooom!.
