Mina-san! I’m… back ^_^ I’m hope you are all well? I wanted to write for so long… but somehow I think I abandoned this blog. Though my worship of Yuki Kajiura has never ended… I had some terrible tragedies past months. As a matter of fact, I had to take care of my family, which was [...]

What a strange kanji to use for “koe” in the episode title. Presumably Amatsuki’s pulling the usual trick of using Ye Olde Kanji because it’s a historical show or summat. Kon brings Toki to meet Jouji Nakata in his latest disguise as some important monk dude named Shamon. This automatically means that he is [...]

….. I swear that I’ve intended to post this ep review sooner, but a tragic thing happened…I have a new Nintendo Ds. Finally I was able to put it down and write this episode post, which reveal us more details about Toki and Kuchiha’s personalities. We could say this is the episode that [...]

Very interesting. I originally thought that series as Macross Frontier, RD, Kurenai and Himitsu would have the most difficult dialogue to understand, but as it turns out Amatsuki is about to walk away with that title. No other series this season depends so much on its dialogue than Amatsuki, especially when characters start long monologues [...]

Wagaya no Oinari-sama Originally, I wanted to see this, but after watching some of the other series that this season has to offer I sort of forgot about this one. I’m glad I ended up watching it in the end because the first episode wasn’t that bad. It was kind of boring at the beginning, but [...]

Remember Fushigi Yuugi? Miaka and Yui get sent into some medieval fantasy world with super powered bishounen and demons. Amatsuki, with 2 episodes out so far, is similar with two males accidentally travelling to a demon-fraught Tokugawa era Edo. But there ends the similarities. Miaka and Yui’s priorities in their new world were to whine, generate [...]

As for the reasons why I won’t blog some other shows: - If there weren’t already enough reasons not to watch To Love-Ru: it airs on freaking Thursday, which already features four, possibly five excellent shows, which already are too many shows on the same day! - Itazura na Kiss is hands-down hilarious. Fans of [...]

It’s been a while since we had a Edo related anime, but Amatsuki is more than that. Being part of the list of mangas that I faithful read, the anime adaptation of Amatsuki was eagerly expected by me. Between the mix of sci-fi, slice of life, Edo time, yokai and psychological genre, what’s the [...]

Don't watch too much anime this spring, or you might warp into a fantasy action world, like the protagonist of Amatsuki (あまつき), broadcasting Fridays at 26:30 JST on KBS.

OP Theme: 「Casting Dice」 by Kanno Yuuki - AVI version (20MB) ED Theme: 「名まえのない道」 - Namae no Nai Michi by Kaori Hikita - AVI version (16MB) I am afraid this one is not for me either. I just think the anime looks really poor character design-wise. As for the story, it's about a boy who's stuck in either a VR world or a twisted version of Edo period after he got attacked by a Nue. I did appreciate the eerie atmosphere in the middle of the episode and I am a bit intrigued by the storyline. I want to know if the boy is actually stuck inside a virtual world or really transported to a supernatural version of Edo period. Equally intriguing is the priest-like figure who keeps talking about reality and nothingness. Note how he/she/it speaks in a computer-like tone. The other interesting part about the series is the ED song, Namae no Nai Michi, which has ethereal quality to it. I think if the animation and character design were a bit better, I would have given this a more serious look. Sadly that's not the case here. If you're interested, there are small amount of screen caps of the pivotal scene in the episode. I'll recommend that you at least take a look at the ED theme because it's quite good.

OP - Casting Dice (Yuuki Kanno) - there are strings. There are spoilers (zomg special fox deity powers!). It’s an alright OP, I guess. ED - Namae no Nae Michi (Kaori Hikita) - within four chords I could tell you that Yuki Kajiura wrote this song. Watch the spotlight move! Watch the [...]

Druaga no Tou ~The Aegis of Uruk Well, this episode turned out to be something entirely different than expected. You can say a lot about Gonzo, but I don’t think that anyone can say that they don’t know how to create a bad game-adaptation, and they use this perfectly to their advantage for this episode to [...]

And his army of evil monkeylions. Impressions: Wow, was this ever boring. Really. boring. Really really boring. Let’s start with the positives I guess. Production values were all pretty decent. Good crisp art, though honestly nothing interesting to look at,

Hmmm… this reminds me of cookies… That had no relevance to what I am about to say now. Well, this preview was a little different from others I’ve seen. No original dialog from the characters, just music playing in the background. It was a pretty nice song for something so fast paced. Amatsuki is about a boy who [...]
