Honey and Clover – episode fourteen

Damnit, now I care about the Yamada and Mayama relationship again.
City Hunter ’91
July 31, 2005 on 11:52 am | In City Hunter | Comments Off on City Hunter ’91I don’t think that City Hunter could ever have hoped to relive its glory days of late City Hunter 2, but ’91 has its moments. There are a few production aspects that I don’t quite agree with, but there are a pair of valuable Umibozu episodes and a surprise Makimura episode.
Honey and Clover – episode thirteen
July 28, 2005 on 10:24 am | In Honey and Clover | Comments Off on Honey and Clover – episode thirteen“All I wanted to hear was that little thing”
I’m going to be honest: I’m not particularly sympathetic to Yamada’s unrequited love. I realised as I was watching this episode that, while I really care about everything else that’s going on in this show, I think that it’s written in such a way that Mayama’s obtuseness plays too well to Yamada’s obstinacy, making them never have to do anything.
Tide-Line Blue – episode 2

This series is pretty good, although I do have to wonder both what the deal with the ostrich is and just who all of these different factions are.
Emma – episode 12
July 24, 2005 on 8:30 pm | In Emma | 3 Comments“Lily of the Valley”
Damnit, Emma! Don’t give me hope, give me results! Give me idealised fantasy life, not realistic social inevitablity!
Honey and Clover – episode twelve
July 23, 2005 on 1:02 am | In Honey and Clover | Comments Off on Honey and Clover – episode twelve“The sudden kiss, the unexpected parting”
I’m not convinced. Beyond the cut is spoileriffic.
Tide-Line Blue – episode 1
July 21, 2005 on 11:17 pm | In Tide-Line Blue | Comments Off on Tide-Line Blue – episode 1“Spirit”
In the future, the world will be flooded. In this flooded world will live a boy who dresses like something out of Gravitation, with a dark past, a carefree present, and a very rapidly darkening future destined to be interspersed with light comedy.
People say that Kamichu! is the “Ghibli-esque” of the season, but I see it’s Tide-Line Blue, not least because the character design is by Ghibli key animator Yamashita Akihiko. This is potentially a great adventure with an immersive world to play with … and I am, by default, a sucker for drowned worlds.
Emma – episode 11

Man, that maid network sure does work fast!
Kamichu! – episode 2
July 15, 2005 on 1:08 am | In Kamichu! | Comments Off on Kamichu! – episode 2“Please, Goddess”
Better than the first episode, but damn if this anime isn’t interminable. Seriously, this episode went for about fourteen years.
You know, one can only take so much of “slow magical girls with hearts of gold” before it gets old. Yurie is slightly sweet, but she is more dull; her voice actress, MAKO, does very little to help the situation.

July 14, 2005 on 11:50 pm | In Site News | Comments Off on IncomingStandby for Emma, Honey & Clover and Kamichu! updates. I have to edit the Kamichu! to make it marginally less slanderous.
Folks, if you’re going to Kamichu!, don’t use the original group’s releases!
UPDATE: Man, how am I going to get any work done with Half Blood Prince out this weekend?
