Galaxy Angel, Season 1
Well, well… This is more like it! I remember watching Galaxy Angel back in college. Just a few years back, I bought the first volume on DVD, which I held on to for some time before selling it off, as buying the show on singles got too pricey, and discs got...
The Future Diary
Content Warning: Discussion of suggestive themes. Since its premiere in 2011, The Future Diary has managed to claw its way onto a pedestal within the anime community. It’s regarded as one of those untouchable classics of near-universal acclaim. It leads one to...
Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy
Note: This review contains spoilers for the original Mobile Suit Gundam, as well as the compilation films. Reader discretion is advised. Because all three films were released in one set, this review will contain reviews for all three films. In 1981, Mobile Suit Gundam...
Mazinger Z: Infinity
I got to the theater early to pick up my ticket, and then headed out to lunch. While I was dining, my server noticed the poster I picked up at the theater and asked to take a picture of it. I just gave it to him. He explained that he watched the show when he was...
Space Pirate Mito
Alright, so this is probably the first time that I have come across an anime series where I am totally ambivalent about it. I’ll admit that, at times, tackling shows that are this obscure seems this way. But nevertheless, sometimes you have to play the hand you’re...
Gasaraki
Of course, Japan is the first country to create bipedal armored vehicles for military use, a.k.a. mechs. In Gasaraki, they’re called Tactical Armor (“TA” for short). TAs are superior to tanks in both speed and maneuverability, but most soldiers don’t have the...

Junjo Romantica
Well friends, this is it. This is the title where I put my foot in it (if “it” can be described as an angry fandom beehive). Firstly, some definitions are in order. Junjo Romantica is a popular title in the yaoi (boys love) genre. Yaoi features gay male romance, and...
Magic User’s Club! (TV)
“Can dreams have sequels?” With the Magic User’s Club! OVA series under our belts, it’s time to move on to the TV Series. I should note that the OVA series review does contain details that pertain to this one, as the shows are connected. That said, the...
Junjo Romantica Seasons 1 & 2
Renowned novelist Akihiko Usami always gets what he wants. And what he wants happens to be Takahashi Misaki, a recent high school graduate with a superhuman tolerance for sexual harassment and a chin pointy enough to put an eye out. The two barely exchange greetings...
Noragami and Noragami Aragoto
Ah, Noragami. Let the record show that the supernatural genre is my favorite. I am inherently predisposed to liking a story that fits into spiritual-related fantasy, or one that features unseen worlds. Some of them disappoint me with their pedestrian and uninventive...
Magic User’s Club! (OVA)
Sometimes, it’s nice to re-examine a series that I have covered before. Way back on my old blog, I covered both the Magic User’s Club OVA and TV Series. Of course, this was back in the days when Media Blasters was releasing the title on singles. Anyway, when given...
