10 Latest Entries from chaostangent:

Following up the critically acclaimed and astoundingly brilliant The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was never going to be an easy prospect but with a timbre shift sure to cement Mamoru Hosoda’s role as a world-class director, Summer Wars proves to be a worthy successor both creatively and aesthetically. Taking the fluidity [...]

2 Episode Taste Test: Katanagatari (Sword Story) >>

There is a spacious fifty minutes to each episode of Katanagatari — enough time for sweeping, epic tales befitting of the peculiar art style and setting within feudal Japan. Disappointing then that each episode has enough content for ten minutes which is written for twenty four then stretched torturously out to fifty. [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Baka to Test to Shokanju (Idiots, Tests and Summoned Beasts) >>

Leaving little to the imagination, Baka to Test to Shokanju features precisely what the title specifies. The first three episodes are a grab bag of different influences that run the gamut from the quick fire rowdiness of Excel Saga to the fantasy-high school blend of Maburaho, successfully mixing them all into a [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Chu-Bra!! >>

Another series another lascivious story seed, this time with the formation of a high school underwear club by a girl smitten with all things underwear. Rolling one’s eyes and ploughing into the first three episodes of Chu-Bra!! it becomes increasingly apparent that this isn’t the naughty teenage giggle parade that is expected [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Seikon no Qwaser (The Qwaser of Stigmata) >>

When one’s premise is a magical fuel present only in breast milk and requires young children to extract this via the most obvious method available, having an censored version available on all but the most liberal of television channels seems counter-productive. The uncensored version fills in a lot of the gaps that [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Ookami Kakushi (Hidden God) >>

What begins as a creeping sense of malevolence with Ookami Kakushi (lit. Wolfed Away) develops into mute indifference as the threat of a mysterious scythe-wielding lunatic ebbs into frisky sexual encounters. The series starts with the faint hope of a slow burning mystery, that is resolutely extinguished however by sedentary pacing and [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Ladies versus Butlers >>

With a premise reminiscent of My-Otome and championing the current trend of snotty faux-aristocrats, Ladies versus Butlers starts as it intends to continue: copious, pointless fanservice. The frantic first episode is chase across palatial school grounds which sees girls of an acutely fair disposition faint at the very sight of a teenage [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Durarara!! >>

Within moments of the first episode, Durarara!!‘s connection to Baccano! is obvious: brightly coloured eyecatches punctuating the opening and enumerating the sizeable cast. Sharing a significant portion of its predecessor’s production team, director and character designer included, it likewise refuses to be pigeon holed into a single genre instead throwing its weight [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Sora no Woto (Sounds of the Sky) >>

The easiest way to describe Sora no Woto is to identify its most obvious influences. Already well established is the K-On! style gelatinous character designs however the set up and pacing has more in common with Haibane and its European influenced locale. Most prominent however is the tonal similarities to the Valkyria [...]

3 Episode Taste Test: Dance in the Vampire Bund >>

Stepping back into Moonphase territory while simultaneously riding the resurgent interest in vampires, SHAFT and director Akiyuki Shinbo take on the adaptation of a manga infamous for its racy content and violent overtures. The first three episodes of Dance in the Vampire Bund demonstrate little of the latter and a lot of [...]
