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)
The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan
I was wondering what I could expect from this show. Nagato in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya was not a character I could see a show built around. This is the same with many dandere and kuudere type personalities, they don’t really make good show leads unless the supporting character(s)… Continue reading The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan
FLCL (Fooly Cooly)
When I was doing my writeup on Photon, I checked my other writeups and didn’t realize I never did one for FLCL. I can think of several good reasons why I probably didn’t but we’ll get to that later. FLCL is a 6 part OVA based around a kid in 6th grade who is the… Continue reading FLCL (Fooly Cooly)

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
The phenomenon that is Haruhi Suzumiya is still going strong. This show and the light novels came in like a hurricane and it’s influence is still seen today, even though the books and the series were in the early 2000s. If you don’t know about Haruhi Suzumiya but you watch anime then you were probably… Continue reading The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Deadman Wonderland
I was late to the party on Deadman Wonderland. I caught it when it was on Toonami but realized it was partially censored so I sought out the uncensored version. It’s not THAT much different but different enough. Deadman Wonderland is an odd name right? Well when you learn what the show is about, it… Continue reading Deadman Wonderland
Gatchaman Crowds (Gatchaman Kurauzu)
I went back to find Gatchaman Crowds because the summer season brought us Gatchaman Crowds Insight. The first episode left me with a lot of questions so I had to go back and get some answers. Gatchaman Crowds takes place in a city called Tachikawa, a “second metropolis” of Tokyo. The city is protected by… Continue reading Gatchaman Crowds (Gatchaman Kurauzu)
