Week in Anime,

Arpeggio — Ships in swimsuits barbecue party, yay! I still could care less about the ships developing emotions and whatnot, and would prefer just the shipping *ahem* and the explosions. But this is infinitely better than loli mad scientist, so there is that.

Tokyo Ravens — As I’ve stated before, I’m only watching this for Natsume’s cross-dressing and the shipping. I don’t really see what the point is of focusing on the main guy’s friend, unless they put him in a love triangle. That  hasn’t happened… yet.

The Week in Anime, Fall 2013 #6 — Draggle is Forgetful

Week in Anime,

I wrote this last week and then forgot to publish it. Oops.

Noucome — I love this show. It has the same stupid perverted antics of countless anime, but it’s actually funny. For example, in thirty seconds we get a better wrestling than the entirety of another show dedicated solely to wrestling. This week’s episode was great. I can only hope that the missions and absolute choices will continue to escalate into the nightmare that is a harem.

White Album 2 — Pretty good episode, aside from the crappy J-Pop. Which was most of the episode. Why can’t they use music from the actual White Album instead of making up their own shitty J-Pop version? Continue reading The Week in Anime, Fall 2013 #6 — Draggle is Forgetful →

Samurai Flamenco 07 — No More Monkeying Around

Samurai Flamenco,

Everyone was freaking out over this episode so I decided to watch it earlier than I usually do to avoid the inevitable spoilers. It turns out the excitement was not for the reasons I expected. It’s not a “WTF this is awesome,” or a “WTF this is retarded” episode, it’s more along the lines of “WTF, whose ass did they pull this out of?”

The gist of the episode’s twist is, a criminal takes some drugs and transforms into GUILLOTINE GORILLA, a gorilla with a guillotine in his chest. Now anyone whose seen the rest of this show know that given the show’s setting, this development makes no sense whatsoever. Until this point, the show has been down to earth and realistic. So why a magical gorilla with a guillotine all of the sudden?

I suspect that this development will end up requiring no suspension of disbelief, although I’m not sure how. Continue reading Samurai Flamenco 07 — No More Monkeying Around →
