Emma – episode 7
June 5, 2005 on 6:45 pm | In Emma | Comments Off on Emma – episode 7“Crystal Palace”
Many series have a turning point: an episode of pure beauty. Absolute rockitude, if you will. “Crystal Palace” is the turning point of Emma. William asks Emma to the Crystal Palace in Sydenham and she accepts without reservation. Meanwhile, Richard Jones has his own ideas about William’s plans! Again.
Weekly Excuse Post
June 2, 2005 on 12:45 am | In Site News | Comments Off on Weekly Excuse PostNo posts so far this week because my main series is Master Keaton, and since that “wise” criticism of my Berserk review I’ve decided to review DVD series as a whole.
I’m up to episode 34 of 39.
As for Emma and Honey & Clover, looks like the subbers are behind. Nothing I can do about that.
UPDATE: Looks like Emma 7 is out. Prepare to rock and roll.
Honey and Clover – episode four
May 29, 2005 on 1:50 am | In Honey and Clover | Comments Off on Honey and Clover – episode four“The boy and girl are swayed”
Honey and Clover has that “feeling” about it. It’s dramatic, but still comedic. Honey and Clover doesn’t make me feel like this, but it is still very good.
Emma – episode 6
May 28, 2005 on 7:52 pm | In Emma | Comments Off on Emma – episode 6“The Visit”
This episode, the character designs seemed a little off; a pity, considering the importance of its content when it comes to the relationship of young William and Emma.
For those interested, here is the newspaper that Mr. Jones was reading.
Honey and Clover – episode three

Some seriousness infiltrates the rank! It’s good seriousness, too!
City Hunter: Bay City Wars & Million Dollar Conspiracy
May 22, 2005 on 1:17 pm | In City Hunter | Comments Off on City Hunter: Bay City Wars & Million Dollar ConspiracyThe 1990 City Hunter OVAs! One is not standard City Hunter fare, and the other is closer to normal; the OVAs are what ADV uses to ensnare viewers in the trap of Saeba Ryo, but for that purpose the TV series are so much better.
These two stories are interesting enough detours into the City Hunter world for fans, but uninitiates would be better off elsewhere.

Yeah! I’ve kind of been busy the last week, with a Wong Kar-wai film festival, and Midnight Star Wars. No time to watch, let alone write, about anime.
This will be rectified soon.
Emma – episode 5
May 11, 2005 on 10:21 pm | In Emma | Comments Off on Emma – episode 5“Dinner Party”
Another fine episode of Emma, this time with very little William and Hakim, and quite a lot of Kelly Stowner. We are made privvy to the tragic history of Emma’s mistress, a past that explains why she sometimes comes across as cold. A widow at twenty in a society that was not altogether too keen on remarriage would be a difficult thing to be indeed.
Honey and Clover – episode two
May 11, 2005 on 9:44 pm | In Honey and Clover | Comments Off on Honey and Clover – episode two
Now I know what this is about, I’m not near so terrified. Honey and Clover seems to be the sort of series that starts with an hilarious over the top episode and settles down to become sweet and coherent.
City Hunter 3
May 11, 2005 on 9:21 pm | In City Hunter | Comments Off on City Hunter 3The interesting thing about City Hunter is that, with each season, you have to fall in love all over again. City Hunter 3, for instance, seems to be “off” at the beginning – although really, it isn’t.
