If it’s mecha then I may have seen it once or twice, though I’m sure there is a series or two I missed. Aldnoah Zero falls into that category of being watched a few times. I saw the subbed version and then watched the dubbed first season and of course I couldn’t stop there so… Continue reading Aldnoah Zero (Arudonoa Zero)

Blue Drop (Burū Doroppu)
Blue Drop is one that came up as a random pick for me. It’s one that I passed on before but decided to give it a chance on a day that I was just sitting at home. The manga for Blue Drop is set after the war but the anime takes place before the war.… Continue reading Blue Drop (Burū Doroppu)
Voices of a Distant Star (Hoshi no Koe)

Seiyu’s Life (Sore ga Seiyū!)
Seiyu’s Life is a summer 2015 anime which was about rookie voice actresses going through everyday life as voice actresses. This is a show where there isn’t much I can say. The 3 voice actresses meet each other while running from audition to audition and over time become a group. The show goes through what… Continue reading Seiyu’s Life (Sore ga Seiyū!)
GATE: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri (Gēto Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri)
GATE actually has a long history. It was posted online in 2006, became a book in 2010, a manga in 2012 and now we are given the anime version. If you read the manga then you will probably notice the differences because there are several, though they aren’t major. The show starts with a portal… Continue reading GATE: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri (Gēto Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri)
Damn you writer’s block…
My manga Dodge Battle High is like 3 books in my head but for some reason I can’t type them out. I usually do my little anime thing to keep me writing but even that isn’t helping and now I’m slacking on those too. I guess the Oni Press submission thing slowed me down. Since… Continue reading Damn you writer’s block…
Ladies versus Butlers! (Redi×Bato!)
I wanted a change of pace so I decided to re-watch Ladies vs Butlers. The name is kind of deceiving but if you’re a harem anime fan then stick around until the end. Akihiro Hino lost his parents when he was young and was adopted by his uncle. Instead of being a burden to his… Continue reading Ladies versus Butlers! (Redi×Bato!)
Masque of the Wolf (Ookami Kakushi)
When you’re a kid, moving to a new place can be daunting, right? Have to make new friends, learn new streets and all that. But what if you moved to a town where everyone was trying to be friendly to you and for what seems like no apparent reason. That’s what happened to a 15-year-old… Continue reading Masque of the Wolf (Ookami Kakushi)

Kyokai no Kanata: Kako-hen and Kyokai no Kanata: Mirai-hen the 2 part movie project that came out earlier this year, also known as Beyond the Boundary: I’ll Be Here. Off the back of a beautifully done 12 episode season, we were given 2 movies which have a lot to live up to. Let’s start with Kako-hen,… Continue reading Kyōkai no Kanata: I’ll Be Here (Beyond the Boundary: I’ll Be Here)
Actually I Am (Jitsu wa Watashi wa)
Actually I Am will draw comparisons to Rosario + Vampire because the main girl is a vampire and the male protagonist is a weak male who doesn’t ‘get it’. But there are big differences in the 2 shows. Asahi Kuromine is the male character I spoke of, the one who doesn’t ‘get it’. But he also… Continue reading Actually I Am (Jitsu wa Watashi wa)
