In the future, the only form of “entertainment” becomes concerts by J-POP idols. For the sake of the world, society at large takes the only reasonable response left: total warfare.
Along with ubiquitous “no idol” signs scattered throughout the city, the government invests in the technology to develop “no idol” missiles and other lethal weaponry to combat this deadly threat to world peace and stability. Continue reading AKB0048 — First Impression
A big thank you to everyone who voted for me in the last round of the anime blog tournament! I narrowly defeated chikorita157, and have advanced to the second round. You should go vote for the best blog (mine) after checking out the other competitors.
If you’ve never been here before, then welcome! Check out some of my favorite posts, including various other bloggers singing about Guilty Crown (ok, one of those is me), and my commentaries on Mawaru Penguindrum. Yes, I do episodic blogging. And there seems to be a lot of discrimination distinction towards episodic blogs in this tournament. But I don’t do summaries, and try to keep things thoughtful and interesting. If you think episodic blogs are all pointless and monotonous, then try expanding your horizons (but wait to expand your horizons until after you vote for me).
In the last matchup, Chikorita157 may have been defeated, but his spirit still lives on. I will continue to hold him in my memory as I fight in this tournament, so that his death will not have been in vain. In fact, I can still sense his raging spirit fighting by my side. Chikorita157, you will never be forgotten! Your death shall be avenged!
Our opponent this time is shrouded in mystery. He goes by the secretive handle “Michael,” with no surname. Even more suspicious is the fact that this “Michael” hasn’t posted any pictures of himself on the Internet, unlike open minded people such as myself and Chikorita157 (who has posted so many pictures we don’t know which ones are truly him). Worst of all, this “Michael” doesn’t have a Twitter account that I can heckle him with! Continue reading The Aniblog Tournament Part 2: Draggle vs. “Michael”
Mutta and Hibito bond, we see more of their brotherly rivalry, and Mutta continues to pay an abnormal attention to detail. Moving on, how was Space Brothers’ portrayal of Houston? (note: I’m originally from Texas, although not Houston)

Damn it. The creators sure like to set people up for tragic deaths. For most of the show, I’ve had little to no sympathy for Tohsaka, especially after what he did to Sakura and how plain boring he is. But, when I see how Rin looks forward to seeing him, I can’t hate him anymore! What a cheap shot! Continue reading Fate / Zero 17 — A Family Man
This episode was amazing. We have what for many shows would be an entire season’s worth of drama, all stuffed into one episode. No one can accuse this show of not making progress. But it wasn’t rushed either.
One of the parts I liked best was seeing Kaoru admit to his own motivation:
