http://www.animenano.com/ An anime blog aggregator and community. en-us Kyouran Kazoku Nikki should have been one of the greatest shows of its season, but it took a formula for success and misbalanced the ingredients. Let’s take a quick look at what those are. You have a story about a man who has been called to act as the head of a family of potentially [...] Thu, 06 Nov 2008 22:43:50 -0000 http://porkcutlets.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-a-failure-to-realize-potential/ After some early signs of promise, and the occasional flash of genius, by the end of it all I've found myself feeling really rather apathetic towards Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, to the point where it's almost a relief to reach the end of this long and winding road. I was at least hoping for a satisfactory conclusion to the series, but if I'm frank I didn't get it. Ouka holding Kyouka at gunpoint had Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:39:42 -0000 http://hanners-anime.blogspot.com/2008/11/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-episode-26.html I have no idea why I get so compelled to write about mediocre anime as opposed to good anime, so I’ll try to keep this short. A friend of mine once described Kyouran Kazoku Nikki as a lie. And he was totally right. Right when this show started I was drawn in by the energetic opening [...] Tue, 04 Nov 2008 03:21:31 -0000 http://blog.mistakesofyouth.com/2008/11/03/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-dont-believe-its-lies/ Kyouran Kazoku Nikki reaches its penultimate episode - Can this extremely hit and miss series end with a bang or a whimper? Overall, the signs aren't particularly good for a memorable ending, jumping around between one place and another to keep the various plot devices on show from Gouyokuou to Gekka warm, but not really focusing on anything of them enough to be either interesting or funny ( Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:09:31 -0000 http://hanners-anime.blogspot.com/2008/11/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-episode-25.html The Child of Enka “The neko girl {Kyouka-sama} may take over the world though!! She acts as if she already has!!” —From the first Kyouran Kazoku Nikki Post. Nope I didn’t…I meant it as a joke so it doesn’t count…>_> Besides, she’s not taking over the world…she’s destroying it…with a little help from some alien. AND WHAT’S WITH THE [...] Sat, 01 Nov 2008 21:08:52 -0000 http://53rg10.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-did-i-call-it/ Good thing the recap of the series is short. Some series devote a whole episode for that. They look hot. Yes, even Teika. XD I didn’t think that the episode is about the anniversary of Ouka and Kyouka. The recap should have been a sign. *facepalms* I found Kyouka cute at first when she kept forcing [...] Tue, 14 Oct 2008 15:34:14 -0000 http://sashimi.hyukta.net/anime/currently-watching/kyouran-kazoku-nikki/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-ep-15 I appear to be the only person I know or have heard of that sat through all half a year’s worth of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. It ended last Saturday with an ending as exciting as flat coke. Pity. For an anime of 26 episodes, there sure was a hell lot of pointless time wasted, resulting [...] Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:30:28 -0000 http://www.riuva.com/?p=1262 To be quite honest, I simply don't know what to say about episode twenty-four of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - On the one hand, I'm grateful that the series is at least moving towards a point when all is revealed about the Children of Enka and so on (although it seems like so long since they were last mentioned I doubt most people even remember the entire premise of the show in the first place), but on Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:25:59 -0000 http://hanners-anime.blogspot.com/2008/10/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-episode-24.html   No, I am Spartacus! Impressions: Well, at least the show has finally been put out of its misery, even if this episode was about 3 minutes of Kyouka ranting and 15 minutes of "family is important" speeches. Good lord was that awful. First Ouka gave one in a complete retcon of the cliffhanger at the [...] Sun, 05 Oct 2008 00:09:22 -0000 http://blog.seiha.org/2008/10/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-26-i-am-spartacus/ I really hoped that last episode's story wasn't going to stretch out into a multi-episode arc, but after looking like it might keep itself down to a single instalment for much of the time it somehow managed to turn into just that. So, we were left with an episode that began as "Invasion of the rejects from Spore's Creature Creator", and for a while there it looked as though this was going to be Sat, 04 Oct 2008 19:43:35 -0000 http://hanners-anime.blogspot.com/2008/10/kyouran-kazoku-nikki-episode-23.html
