The first thing to notice when episode 8 of Hyakko starts is that the opening sequence is slightly different. Instead of just reused footage from the show itself, we actually get to see some of the characters animated in their own shots. The actual episode starts off with an odd lack of color, where students [...]

We've already seen her around in previous instalments before, but episode eight finally gives us a proper introduction to Inori Tsubomiya - Thus far we've only really seen her used as part of the occasional blatantly obvious Ring parody (and indeed this gets referenced aplenty here too), and you can see why just from taking a look at her. However, behind that long hair is an extremely shy girl

Nondescript anime Hyakko has experienced a modicum of success, which means the inevitable knock off PS2 adventure game is due. But this time, it is no ordinary knock off, for it seems their laziness in developing the game has reached unprecedented heights, even for typically wretched anime adventure games – as the above shots indicate, they [...]

I saw it in the ep.02: Ep.02 is about Hyakko antagonizing Tatsuki and not receiving any comeuppance (while they hop school clubs). I guess creators extracted wrong lessons from Tomo/Yomi and Konata/Kagami. Then, I dropped the show. Nova carried it further, but the result is exactly the same: Where Hyakko fails is the execution of certain character interaction. [...]

There are several shows in this season that occupy the gray zone between likeable and trash, but I doubt many of them are as difficult to classify as Hyakko, a 13-episode anime series from Nippon Animation. Hyakko threads the bloody battlefield of slice-of-life school comedies with mainly female cast, but will it end up as [...]

This episode features the introduction of the evil boss Torako fought with from the previous episode. We learn that, action anime parodies aside, Kitsune Kageyama is actually a sadistic (which I assume is what "S" meant), nonchalant son of a b*tch who flips poor Ayumi's skirt. Not only that, but he's also Torako's older brother who has been terrorizing her ever since she was a child. Actually

Yay, finally weekend! I discovered a new anime for me, Kannagi. The first one of my friends who watched it was Kairu Ishimaru. I can remember his reviews… But now it’s my turn. I didn’t expected it. I opened Kannagi page after a failed try on Hyakko, just to watch something. But as I seen the [...]

The preview for this episode of Hyakko promised us thrills and spills... Okay, well it didn't really, but if Apple can have an iPhone commercial pulled for making the Internet seem too fast then I can make a pseudo-complaint about false episode previews in anime! Anyway, it's summer uniform time at Kamizono High School, which means that the members of the photography club are out in force once
