I don’t know what it is about Space Dandy that drew me in but as soon as I saw the commercials on Adult Swim, I set my DVR and had to make sure I saw it the first time and then again later by DVR. Space Dandy was actually the first Shinichirō Watanabe show I… Continue reading Space Dandy (Supēsu Dandi)

My Graphic Novel Pitch
When Oni Press released the info for the open submissions, I was nowhere near ready. I had nothing at all done really. I wanted to get the game out first and then look into the novel part of this but it’s a great opportunity. If I can get my pitch straight and that may be… Continue reading My Graphic Novel Pitch
Cross Ange: Rondo of Angels and Dragons (Kurosu Anju Tenshi to Ryū no Rondo?)
Cross Ange’s subtitle had Dragons in it so I had to check it out. There really are dragons too, lots of them. Nice. Angelise is a princess who lives in a world with people who use Mana and those who don’t. Mana is the reason there is no war or pollution or so they’re lead… Continue reading Cross Ange: Rondo of Angels and Dragons (Kurosu Anju Tenshi to Ryū no Rondo?)
When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace (Inō-Batoru wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de)
I kept waiting for those supernatural battles and well…they never came. Somehow a bunch of students have gained superpowers (this was not explained). Jurai and the rest of the literary club, plus 2 others come into superpowers and they are just learning about them and learning how to use them. The show circles around them… Continue reading When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace (Inō-Batoru wa Nichijō-kei no Naka de)
Blue Exorcist: The Movie (Ao No Exorcist)
Blue Exorcist is a very good series, in my opinion. Shortly after the series ended, they greenlit this movie and a few OVAs which were included with the DVDs. This movie maintains the same art style and characteristics of the series. This is set some time in the future when compared to the series. It… Continue reading Blue Exorcist: The Movie (Ao No Exorcist)
World War Blue (Aoi Sekai no Chūshin de)
World War Blue is a look at the 90s console war between Nintendo and Sega. Alas poor Sega, we knew ye well. I guess you can call it a short 3 episode look at what the wars would be like if it was personified? Oh just work with me on this one. Can’t even come… Continue reading World War Blue (Aoi Sekai no Chūshin de)
Wolf Girl and Black Prince (Ōkami Shōjo to Kuro Ōji)
Wolf Girl and Black Prince sounded like it might be something like an adventure or something, that was before I saw the pictures and the preview. It turned out to be a nice little slice of life show though. Erika is a sweet teenage girl who hangs out with some bitchy girls who always talk… Continue reading Wolf Girl and Black Prince (Ōkami Shōjo to Kuro Ōji)
Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East (Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun)
Hakkenden is a show I picked on Crunchyroll because they made it sound like there would be action and asses getting kicked or a review somewhere did. Either way, someone from somewhere made me think good things. How did I feel about the show? Well, keep reading. The 1st season is more about introductions than… Continue reading Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East (Hakkenden: Touhou Hakken Ibun)
World Conquest Zvezda Plot (Sekai Seifuku: Bōryaku no Zuvizudā)
World Conquest Zvezda Plot sounds like a cool name doesn’t it? Like it might be something worth checking out. I did just that, without pics, reviews or anything and it was…interesting. Asuta, a middle school aged boy who ran away from home is out on the street during a time of martial law. He bumps… Continue reading World Conquest Zvezda Plot (Sekai Seifuku: Bōryaku no Zuvizudā)
Ixion Saga Dimensional Transfer (DT Ikushion Sāga Dī Tī)
Ixion Saga Dimensional Transfer or Ixion Saga DT is a show that seemed like it would be a decent show. Swords usually make everything better right? This show is based on a game by Capcom, one that I haven’t played so I can’t really comment on the game. One day Kon is playing an MMORPG… Continue reading Ixion Saga Dimensional Transfer (DT Ikushion Sāga Dī Tī)
