Oh…my…I, I seriously don’t know what to say, this light-hearted and laid back slice of life anime has left me speechless with this very emotional episode {07}… I knew something was going to happen to Soyon, but what actually happened was not even near to what I was thinking, which was exile. And to make things [...]

Keep a lookout for Koukaku no Regios 7, which I will be reviewing when I get back from work. For now — Kemono 7. KnSE opens with a dramatic (practice) fight under falling red petals between Nugan and Shunan, the two brothers we’d seen in an earlier ep. Damiya approaches them and sternly mentions he’d [...]

Katt: First Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou provided an episode full of drama, and now Kemono no Souja Erin has done the same. I have gone from thinking, “Ugh, I don’t feel like blogging,” to, “Oh man, I hope others have watched this episode so I can discuss it!” So someone had better converse with me about [...]

First up, sorry to all IE users who’ve been to my blog these past few days — column switching broke one of my menu widgets so I had to fix it. :S Don’t get why they switched it either, sigh. It should be fixed now — please drop me a line if you find alignment [...]

I was surprised the first 3 minutes of episode 5 was a recap — nonetheless, we’re told that it’s the season for egg-gathering! (Tamagogari?) Erin reveals in this episode that she’s still sad and distracted about the touda being mistreated by humans. (Remember the ear flaps in episode 3?) Her mother tells her to focus, but [...]

I think this will be the last of the winter shows that I’m going to get to. This was another show that really peaked my interest. The author of the source material is the same person who wrote Seirei no Moribito and the animation house is again Production I.G. Rating: episode 1 – 9/12 A- Rating: [...]

Katt: Mondays are horrible days, particularly because they are my longest schooldays that also start the earliest. This Monday, however, isn’t so bad because I am staying home sick. A not-so-bad cold is better than Monday at school. Plus, this means I get to watch and blog Kemono no Souja Erin on time (while I [...]

Katt: Once these subbers get going, there’s just no break for me, is there? I actually noticed this episode was up a couple of days ago, but school has kept me from watching it until now. As my weekend has now begun, I will start it off by watching the third episode of this anime. [...]

Katt: F-For serious? The second episode of Kemono no Souja Erin is subbed?! Things I was not expecting to see when I got online: this. Honestly I was expecting maybe to see a Natsume update, but nope, it’s Erin. Let’s see what our little heroine is up to this episode. (Maybe I’ll get some tips [...]

Episode 03 - Tatakau Kemono (War Beasts) Summary *Note: Picture intensive post, the pictures do not follow the summary. The background story at the start of episode 3 is a little longer this time round, and I hope that I got it somewhat right. It would appear that once the land was once filled with lots of wars, [...]

Katt: Fiiinally, the first episode of Kemono no Souja Erin is subbed! It only took, what, two weeks? But I am very appreciative to see that this series is getting subbed. Because this is the first episode of the series, background information and plotline are mixed in together to make things both understandable and entertaining. [...]

Surprise, surprise. Even though I mentioned that Asu no Yoichi! won the poll and that I would blog episodically on that, I made no such claim on Kemono no Souja Erin until now. The fact is, I like the series, but it will be a long project, considering it is almost a year long, and [...]

Tetsuwan Birdy Decode 2Thoughts: Birdy runs into a childhood friend.Blogging?: YesI’m quite happy to see this series continue. Tsutomu is still inside Birdy’s body and continues to help her when needed. I’m worried about the introduction of the new childhood friend. This could hurt Tsutomu’s parternship with Birdy. He might actually have feelings towards Birdy, [...]

Alright, the most anticipated anime series this season for me, Kemono no Souja Erin, is finally out, among the last to do so. I have lots to say about the episode, but at the time I am writing this, I only managed to finish it just before 5 AM and I am not sure if [...]

Birdy the Mighty Decode 2 Short Synopsis: Our lead character gets assigned to track down a bunch of escaped convicts. Chance of me Blogging: 100% (Hell yeah!) Whoa, a bit theme of the sequels this season seems to be angsting over what happened at the end of its previous season: first Shikabane Hime, then Druaga no Tou, and [...]
