Episode 12 - Hoho, it seems that Amata finally worked up the guts to make a move on Mikono. Shame that Kagura had to come and crash the party. On top of the bold (but cheesy) moves by Amata, it seems that Jin is plotting to kidnap Yunoha, no doubt because he has developed a [...]

Finally, ti’s time for the developments to start hitting. This episode was full of twists to spice up this series, and it’s about time because the series was starting to stagnate a bit. Especially when Andy started this episode by organizing a slumber party. What could have been a dull filler instead really got the [...]

… Nakamura sure is enjoying this role a bit too much isn’t he? I could swear he was hiding his ahegao… So, Evol finally brings out the links to the previous cycle. I was wondering when the show was going to get serious… still, it’s all rather opaque so far. Except for Mikage being fabulously [...]

Amano, you idiot. Don’t you know that confessing in the middle of a series is like signing your own divorce letter? These things never go well! And indeed,the bad guys picked that exact moment to unleash that wench-obsessed beast–guy again and before you know it we’re in yet another cycle of “will they won’t they?” [...]

Episode 10 - Hrm, well this episode sure took the story in a direction I wasn’t quite expecting; slowly having a member of the enemy forces become a bigger part of the main cast. His introduction proves to be a decent way of adding a level of uncertainty to the conflict at hand, as well [...]

I’m reviewing this episode a day late, but still: there are two shows who, on the same day, decide to air an episode that feature an alien just arriving and goofing off while trying to make sense of this new world. The big difference between the two is that the alien in question had never [...]

Akbarjin → Akbar Jin → Akbar → IT’S A TRAP. Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who noticed. Oh man… poor Jin. If you thought having segregated schools were bad enough… think of the guys who grew up never knowing the enigma that are “girls”. Really, I can’t help feeling bad for poor [...]

Episode 09 - …Now this episode was just a bit too ridiculous. Hilarious, sure, but what the heck was up with all the references to “holes”? Obviously there are sexual overtones to the usage of the word, but the episode literally used the word in every single possible situation imaginable. It got to the point [...]

Poor Andy, he still never got to gattai fully. I guess you can say he’s the man who leaves gaps everywhere. The amount of wholesome puns in this episode would probably fill a trench somewhere in the ocean. Seriously this episode was so full of holes, I wanted to bury myself from the sheer embarrassment. [...]

With this, Mix and Andy (Andy W. Hole; seriously?) have gotten their episode as well. Because yes, this series has decided that the two of them are going to be a couple. We already knew that Andy’s power was to create holes. Now, it turns out that Mix’s power is to fill them. Truly a [...]

I can’t really describe how amazing this week’s episode of Aquarion Evol is. The reason this awful anime is watchable is because of how honest it is; there’s no pretense that this show is being serious at all. Though there was some evidence in the previous episodes that the writers may not be a roomful of monkeys [...]

Episode 08 - Woah, what’s up with the sudden huge uptick in fanservice? Sure, this series has always been rather fanservicey, but this episode was just absolutely absurd. In fact, so absurd that at times it was gut-wrenchingly hilarious. Nevertheless, fanservice usually isn’t the best way to advance a plot, and it is no different [...]

Wtf, Aquarion. Just… wtf. I feel a bit silly for complaining about the fanservice in Rinne no Lagrange, although my point still stands there: the fanservice there was blatant, overdone and cheap. Here however…. it was used to push the sexual content of this show to the absurd. When I first started to blog this, [...]

Episode 07 - Once again, we have another random episode of silliness. It’s a bit strange how this series likes to be super-serious one moment, then another it becomes a tad bit absurd and nonsensical. Nevertheless, this show does make for some decent comedy. The randomness to the show is the main appeal factor as [...]

Okay, with Shoji Kawamori it was inevitable, especially in a serise with so much sexual subtext, but it’s still annoying to see “the pointless love triangle”, as I’d like to call it. This is where there’s an overly obvious main couple, and yet the creators still try to bring in a love rival for the [...]

Ehh, so he didn’t die yet. Okay.jpg Meanwhile, back at the academy, Andy comes up with his first decent idea w.r.t getting the guys and girls more closer… changing seats! Predictably… … but the one right next to him is… Oh! Zessica, you…! And Brownka is in heaven as she gets a front row seat [...]

To be fair because I posted the one with Rasmus Faber . This entry was posted by AKINO last December 7, 2011. She doesn’t really say much except for the fact that she started with Aquarion at the age of 14 (at which she points out her blog’s banner image of her at around that [...]

Episode 06 - Just when I decide to try and not take this show too seriously, it decides to go ahead and have some rather serious character developments and segments of plot. The overall episode wasn’t nearly as entertaining as previous, more “out-there” installments, but in it’s place were a few shining moments. The episode [...]
