Kurenai >>

I enjoy a narrative when it doesn’t feel compelled to proclaim itself. I feel sort of molly coddled at best and annoyed at worst when a story lays out the plot like some kind of Lego instructional manual. Just let me put the pieces together on my own, all right? I can [...]

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 2 >>

Porororon poro roro roporon ron! “This episode is full of kanji and makes me tired.” . Cha chiri chiririn, docchudocchurin! “Yes, I agree heartily, good sir.” . Miri kiriri rururin mirurun mirakuru mikurunrun! “It also contained many obscure puns that most English speaking viewers won’t understand at all!” . Sumomomo momomo! “Not to mention incoherent rambling from every character for the first 12 minutes [...]

Engrish T-Shirts >>

It’s been a while since our last humorous entry, and we haven’t talked about Japan much since our post about Junky Healthy Taco Rice and other fun Engrish stuff, so we thought a good way to kill two birds with one stone would be to show you guys some of the funny Engrish-style T-shirts those [...]

Spice and Wolf 2 - Not as Good as the Original >>

OK, time to nitpick. Having read the first of the Ookami to Koushinryou novels, as well as read a bit of the manga, it is now my contractual obligation to tell you how the anime sucks and is nothing like the original, which is of course a paragon of excellence, prosaic and beautiful in ways [...]

Aria the Origination 2 >>

Aria banzai! Donuts banzai! Like pie and ice cream, like Alicia and “Ara ara”, like Akari and embarrassing comments, the gentle strains of Makino Yui’s beautiful singing goes together perfectly with the beginning of an Aria episode. The whole concept of the “OP-that’s-not-an-OP” is wonderfully fitting for the series, as the song complements the gorgeous scenery of [...]

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 1 >>

How I’ve missed Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei! The winter anime season doesn’t look like it’s going to be very strong on comedy shows, and Hayate no Gotoku has been kind of going downhill recently, so I’m extremely pleased that I’ll once again have the ever despairing Itoshiki-sensei and his twisted harem to tickle my funnybone. And the [...]

Kaiji 12 to 14 - See You On the Other Side >>

Oh my God, is that a woman in a Kaiji episode?! What has the world come to?? Up is down, left is right, J.C. Staff is KyoAni!! Hmm, well at least I think that’s supposed to be a woman, anyway…I dunno, Guff? What’s your expert opinion? While the skirt and sweater vest may seem indicative of the [...]

Shakugan no Shana Is BACK! >>

Finally finally finally FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY… after dicking around with filler arcs and side stories for what seemed like an eternity, they finally get around to the good part of the story. And thank goodness, because it is good indeed. I’ve been waiting to see this scene animated for a long, long time. The last [...]

Responses to Epic Feedback >>

While variety is the spice and wolf of life, and while we like always mixing things up here, it’s also good to know what kind of content you guys enjoy most. In our contest last month I asked, among other things, what you wanted to see more of here at Epic Win. Between that and our [...]

Shigofumi 01 - You’ve Got Mail! >>

Shigofumi is one of those series that has an intriguing and quirky setting that can either become amazingly brilliant or turn in absolute rubbish, depending on the execution of the story. Speaking of which, using the phrase “execution of the story” when talking about J.C. Staff and light novel adaptations conjures an entirely different mental [...]

Spice and Wolf 01 - Cool and Spicy and Nekkid >>

Despite being a recent fan of the light novels this show is based on, I had a lot of reservations about the series going into it. After watching the first episode, however, I’ve been solidly convinced - this show is going to be epic. So sit back, cut yourself a slice of sunshine pie*, and [...]
