Wow…Mahiro as a child was crazy paranoid. I suppose if you grow up in a wealthy family, you would have to be wary of people trying to get to you. Still funny that Yoshino decided to help him…even funnier that he actually found something. Personally, I think that would be quite a fun way to [...]

Episode: Zetsuen no Tempest Episode 4
Years later, and not much has changed. Zetsuen takes a break from literal magic this week and explores the magic of revenge/forcing children who come visit you in the hospital to do research for you and somehow turning it into a sort of friendship instead. Ah, anime always has the best life lessons. Mahiro and [...]

This is what I was afraid would happen to this show— exactly what happened with No. 6. We have here an entire episode that completely forgets about the magic, giant eyeballs, pseudo-mysticism and crazy fights that made this show interesting … Continue reading →

「罰あたり、ふたり」 (Batsu Atari, Futari)
"The Cursed Pair"

So this time we get to dive into the past of Yoshino and Mahiro. Certainly this is not the average way to create a long-lasting friendship.

Alas, we have another lackluster episode. I don’t think Mahiro is an interesting guy. He’s a rich kid with temper tantrums and now he wants to get revenge for his sister’s death. Okay, cool, Zetsuen no Tempest. But you fail to make me care about him. Yoshino, on the other hand, I’m actually sort of [...]
