“MIDAREZAKI YUUKA LIGHTSABER SLASH!” Oh god, I lawl’d. That was certainly embarrassing. Gawd, I loved how Ouka did all the smokescreen effects by shooting on the ground with an AK-47. Hardcore man. Well, it’s not all fun and laughter though, as we glimpse a bit in to the past of all the Enka children, who each [...]

If you're looking for Last Friends review, don't worry, I'll still do it. I just need time to take the screencaps. Anyway, this one is a lot better than the first episode. While the episode does have that after school message feel to it, at least it also comes with a generous amount of comedy. The animation takes a slight nosedive in the form of inconsistent character design. At one point some character's face looks as if it's deformed more than it should be. It's nothing awful that the episode is unwatchable though. And as you can see from the screenshots, the episode still retains that nice color palette that characterizes the first episode. Also, did anyone else get the Wizard of Oz reference? While Ginka is not exactly a scarecrow, Teika and Hyouka sure fulfills the role of the lion and the tin man.

Full coverage of the third radio show will come later (the uploader forgot to record the earlier broadcast apparently). And the big news is that… YES, THERE ARE (at least) 8 DIFFERENT ENDINGS, and… YES, THEY WILL START SHUFFLING AROUND FROM STATION TO STATION STARTING EPISODE 3. Why starting episode 3? Well, that’s because a certain [...]

Review: As with last episode, I also really enjoyed this. The change was that while last episode was humorous, this episode had a more serious storyline with humor thrown in. After all, since when have you had anyone chanced by a lion and a flying octopus. Graphics: Still redeeming the high quality of graphics from the [...]

Ouch. Now I know why we're an endangered species -_-" I think I've watched enough first episodes this season to last me... a whole season. There are still some shows I've yet to check out, but considering most of my classes will be commencing next week, I'll probably be giving Amatsuki (Fukuyama Jun again?), Blassreiter, Real Drive, Neo Angelique Whatever (There's probably enough bishounen here

OP Theme: 「超妻賢母宣言」 - Chousai Kenbo Sengen by MOSAIC.WAV - AVI version (38MB) | PSP version (16.8MB) I guess this is very late but I haven't had the chance to do it until now. The episode itself is okay. The animation is not exactly spectacular but it's not bad either. The character design is pretty nice although it's not as good as the original light novel illustration. It's a good thing that each one of them is unique though because I think that's the selling point of this series. The OP and ED are amusing but they don't have the repeat value that Suzumiya Haruhi OP/ED clearly have. While I get the impression that the animators try to emulate Haruhi's OP with this show's OP, for some reason it just doesn't have the exact same effect. I think it's because the OP is too over-the-top and busy. The ED is an entirely different issue. While the default ED is too obnoxious, the alternative ED (there are 6 alts at the moment), are ranging from pretty good to mediocre. I do think there's a potential for the series but until I see the second episode, it's hard to guess one way or another. Anyway, I'm sorry for the rather unconventional summary this time around but I was a bit bored while writing it and for some reason it ended up being sarcastic even though I don't find the episode to be that bad.

This one (Kyouran Kazoku Nikki) or this one? (Hakaba Kitaro) There’s a clue here.
