Yeah, I'm totally concentrating on important aspects of this show... I was watching this episode with "nice average stuff that doesn't need full attention"-attitude and then I notice something strangely familiar, I could swear I heard same VA (Sayaka Ohara) as Alicia has in Aria. Though maybe it just that my brains have melted too much and I have started to hear her everywhere, but anyone know

I didn't take a long lunch, I just got distracted. But enough excuses! Figure time! First of the two is Ibara-hime. Now, I'm not sure who that is because I stopped watching after the first episode. I just sort of forgot to watch it. Anyway, the 160mm tall Ibara-hime is sporting some excellent detail and [...]

I been trying to clear backlog (managed to drop the number of unwatched episodes below 19) of unwatched anime as much as possible and so I am a little late to begin watching Otogi Jushi Akazukin (Fairy Musketeer Akazukin). The 1st episode beats Coyote Ragtime’s 12 Sisters. Lol, I’m serious. We’ve got a winner here. [...]

Lolis are cute in the morning Akazukin 2 definitely picked up, both in plot and humor. I thought the first ep was good, it was cute, and a good introduction, but now we’re getting to see a little direction to the series. I am loving this show. It’s cute, funny, and a great stress reliever. Don’t talk [...]

I hope that the introduction of Souta’s fridge is foreshadowing for another awesome kitchen fight scene. If it’s just Akazukin being a tourist in the tech-world, that’d be pretty lame. Come to think of it, how the hell do they have “sweet phones” in the mage-world? Wouldn’t they not know what phones are?

Eep! I’ve fallen behind. The reason for this: Super Robot Wars Alpha. I recently got the game and have been hooked on it. Of course, when I’m playing that I can’t be watching anime. I guess between rounds I’ll be playing catch up today. I’ll probably do mostly quickies, only because I do have a [...]

Otogi-Jushi Akazukin, or Fairy Musketeers Akazukin, is one of the super cute anime of the season. I had already seen the OVA, and I thought it was good. So how does the TV version of the anime stack up?

Souta frequently has this dream where his mother is telling him a story about a nerdy guy gaining magical powers. Unfortunately the dream always ends with his mom getting molested by tentacles and snatched away by monstrous spiders (before she can spoil the ending of the story). The only thing saving him in [...]

I wonder if I took too much similar screenshots. No, that's not possible. They are too cute for that. Anyway... , I liked second episode more since we got second cute girl, Shirayuki-hime, that magical girl I told previously. I hope I don't repeat myself, but main reason that I watch this are Akazukin and Shirayuki. Action isn't bad at all, but that's not really my thing though hopefully our

First, let’s introduce a few main characters. Akazukin-tan She’s my new god. Step aside, Kajiura Yuki, you got competition on the loli frontier. I wonder how damn awesome Otogi-Jushi Akazukin would be if they had Kajiura arranging the BGM. Oh, and we can always use poor Minami Kuribayashi singing the OP. Val-sama Blue talking wolves are always fun. This [...]

Akazukin OVA that came little over year ago was fairly regular fantasy story with cute characters and I quickly forgot whole thing. Now that full series has started I'm not yet convinced that I keep this one. Main hero is weak boy who like to talk to flowers and loli with a wolf from another world save him when evil spider try to eat him. The fighting sequences were good, but I didn't like the weapons Akazukin used. Two swords is kind of boring combination, though the preview mentioned two magic words that got my attention immediately, mahou shoujo. =) It was somewhat interesting, depending on how crappy this season is I may follow Akazukin, but not sure yet.
