Burn Up
Burn Up is a cop comedy similar to a buddy cop movie like Lethal Weapon and Bad Boys. The only difference is a female team of cops is the lead. Burn Up is a one hour OVA about three cops, though it seems like two cops and an assistant. Maki, Reimi and Yuka definitely don’t… Continue reading Burn Up
Needless
Needless is a show I bypassed when it came out but decided to give it a chance recently. Not even sure why I bypassed it before since dystopian future type of stuff usually draws me in. The story takes place in a future where a Third World War has taken place. A war that has… Continue reading Needless
Kagaku na Yatsura
I don’t even know where to begin with this one. It’s a one shot OVA of about 22 minutes or so. Known as a “science trouble” romantic comedy. This came with one of the volume’s of the manga. You get a very brief introduction to the situation when it jumps right into a scene with… Continue reading Kagaku na Yatsura

The story of Gokujo is about the misadventures of Akabane Aya. She’s an cocky, self assured high school girl who is always trying to outdo everyone else in just about everything.

Noucome (Nōkome) aka My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering with my School Romantic Comedy (Ore no Nōnai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Rabu Kome o Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru)
The premise of the show is a unique one. Well unique at the time but others have probably tried something similar. Kanade Amakusa is a high school student who is suffering from a curse called “Absolute Choices”. The curse forces him to choose from 2 or 3 options and he has no control over where… Continue reading Noucome (Nōkome) aka My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering with my School Romantic Comedy (Ore no Nōnai Sentakushi ga, Gakuen Rabu Kome o Zenryoku de Jama Shiteiru)
Working!!! Lord of the Takanashi
If you saw the previews for Lord of the Takanashi then you were probably expecting something more like a fantasy show right? Well it’s not that but the show is still as good as the rest of the series has been. Unfortunately this marks the finale of a very good show. 3 cours these days… Continue reading Working!!! Lord of the Takanashi
Tokyo Godfathers
Tell me if you heard this one before. A transvestite, an alcoholic and a runaway girl find a baby on Christmas Eve and try to raise it. Yes, this is the premise of this show. While foraging through the trash, they stumble upon a baby and though they want to “raise it”, they do set out… Continue reading Tokyo Godfathers
Air Gear (Ea Gia)
Air Gear is dated due to what the subject matter is but that doesn’t take away from the show. Air Treks (roller blades) are sweeping the nation and ‘gangs’ are being formed around Air Treks for control of territory. Itsuki (Ikki) a ‘tough’ middle school kid who lives with his 4 sisters knew nothing about Air… Continue reading Air Gear (Ea Gia)
