So, I was pretty stoked to get back into anime reviewing by diving into this absurd pool of male fashion models and boundless insanity, but it took me quite some time to get through the first 26 episodes, which is already not a good sign. I wanted to do nothing more than adore it, but… I’ll explain. (more…)

Yes, I have returned to reviewing the animes after a year long hiatus wherein I regained my affection towards the medium. That said, I do plan on having my schedule for the foreseeable future to be rather inconsistent. If I want to put up two reviews a month, or one review every two months, I will. So, here’s a review of a series I decided to watch because its ad involved a man eating a woman’s face, and two people having stupidly speedy tentacle based sword fights. (more…)

Psycho Shatter is about the demigod and reality rewriting figure named Vincent Dawn. Particularly his exploits involving an angry young man with a black heart and a heck of a mental disorder, who switches bodies with his college-age caretaker, and awakens his long dormant psychic powers. Along with a spunky little girl who runs away from home and discovers an ancient artifact that tells her of her ensuing heroic destiny. Though, it’s mostly goofy and gross Chuunibyou nonsense.

Hello internet! This is Natalie"Electric Nigma" Neuman here to talk about his second Novel, The Transformation, Ascension, and Degeneration of Terra! The synopsis is the following: A reclusive young man’s life turns upsidedown as he awakens to discover he is trapped in the body of a robot from space. Join Terrance Honyaku on his adventures of murder and mental trauma as all he wants to do is get out of what he views as a fascinating, but incredibly horrific situation. Thirty-seven years later, a once beloved idol of Earth awakens to find herself nearly two decades in the future, and a matter…

There was this kid whose name I forgot because I haven’t thought about him in about a year. He once talked about how he should try and plow through a 26 episode anime a week, every single week. I told him he was crazy, but he was one of those people who really loved Sword Art Online so his points are objectively false(joke). I forgot my point already, but I am back in the game with a 22 episode series reviewed within two weeks. So yay for finding a series I knew nothing about other than how it is insane but eventually ties itself together really well, although I’d say that is very much debatable. (more…)

I really must stop doing these anime reviews monthly. Granted, this is mostly because nothing contained within the Fall 2013 anime season caught my eye, so I had to go back to watch a show I thought sounded fun and never heard of before. Unfortunately, I kinda wish it had been that way, because I didn’t like it. Long version’s after the break. (more…)

So, after stating I was going on a hiatus from anime reviews, I end up getting one out fairly quickly by my standards, even more quickly considering I watched Cowboy Bebop at the same time as making my way through this oddly named title. I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job is something of a description more than a proper title for crying out loud. Hell, I would call it by its Japanese abbreviated title, Yu-Sibu, except for how I am adamantly against using Japanese names for things that have been officially translated. I don’t care if you prefer the name Hokuto No Ken, it’s Fist of the North Star, you dweeb.

Over the past years, I went from weekly anime reviews to anime reviews once a month, to delaying a review until the end of the month because I didn’t find anything that really caught my eye. I mentioned before, at least I think I did, how I used to get into phases where I would care about the medium of anime for a couple months, leave, and come back to see some new shows I decided to watch. Sadly, I think that mentality still exists, as I am putting these reviews on hiatus until I can find things that aren’t as tropey, because either the past few seasons haven’t been very good, or I’m just becoming an angry young man, which certainly describes the main character of My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu. (more…)

Master of Martial Hearts is to this day the worst piece of trash I’ve ever encountered and reviewed in a long winded, but justified rant. Being a poorly constructed, disgustingly hypersexualized, nonsensical trip through what amounts to an uninspired story that leads to something that is number one on my list of things that are vile. Not helped by how unwarranted the descent into such a mean spirited turn is the most contrived piece of narrative bullshit that has come from a respectable studio. School Days was viewed in my mind as the sister series to Master of Martial Hearts, and is the pee in face compared to MOMH’s poo in the face.

Well, got a new review out within two weeks, guess I might be on the right track, except for how I watched half of this before Attack On Titan, and diving into my next review may take a while. Either way, I’ve been following the WataMote manga, so it’s not too much of a stretch to see why I’m sitting here today reviewing the anime adaptation. Which happens to have one of the oddest sounding subtitles. “It’s you guys’” is a phrase that I’d associate with y’all, as being something that is acceptable, but should not be used very often. Oh, but I’m rambling, on with the short review!

(more…)

I pick up anime by how much I like the first seventeen seconds of info I get about it, and by jove that’s how I’m going to keep on doing it, regardless of quality. And with a title as downright stupid as The Devil is A Part Timer, I could not justify not digging into it and see how the hell anybody could justify throwing money at such an absurd idea. Yet, after taking my sweet-ass time to finish this thing, I’m still not sure why. (more…)

PC gaming is evil, but that is a topic for another time, and mostly unrelated to why it took me so long to go through Nyarko-san… again. Sorry, but if I do not remember something very well, except for how I enjoyed it, I watch it again. So without even linking back to my old post, time for my report on why I spent so much time with Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos And its sequel series differentiated by how there is a W at the end for some reason. Although, I don’t have a ton to say about either season of this crazy show.

(more…)

Is there really any excuse why I put this off for so long? Sure, the series had a weird schedule with the final two episodes coming out months after the first few, but it’s called Girls und Panzer for crying out loud! The very title is half German, and it is about a group of high school girls partaking in a sport known as Tankery. Certainly a very attractive premise, and one that swept me off my feet, giddy as I went on the ride. (more…)

Word to the wise, properly read the description of something before watching it. I research most of my review log by how much the synopsis of the anime brushes my bangles, and based on the Wikipedia description I assumed that Kokoro Connect was a body swap anime, which led me to automatically added it to my backlog. After all, I love the trope of the point where it was a focal point in a narrative I never finished and one I’m currently working on. However, aside from my disappointment from the body swapping stopping at episode five, what do I have to say about the thirteen episodes I dragged myself through? (more…)

I really should try to, I don’t know, not spend three weeks going through the later half of an anime series. With all the time I have, getting shafted to that magical hour before I fall asleep is not the best way to retain my full knowledge and convince myself to go through more than just one a night. But might as well write my last review within the walls of a high school, the birthplace of my blogging shenanigans, and talk about the Haganai, shame I haven’t much to say! (more…)

What does it say when I don’t really even really want to talk about an anime after completing it? Because my thoughts could probably be summarized as, “A bit inconsistent at points with a rubbish final third with the silliness being something fulfilled by many others.” But to give an answer longer than a tweet, elaboration time!

(more…)

I originally wanted to begin this review with a bit that had me screwing around and altering the lyrics from a Ms. Splosion Man song entitled Badonkadonk. I’m not in the mood for that unfortunately, because I’m not in the mood to review, let alone think about the show in question. Yeah, I’m following a review of what I found to be the best anime I reviewed as of right now in 2013, with the worst one thus far.

Garfle! It takes me two weeks to get through an anime series, but I end up needing to cram in the last five episodes in a day! I am really bad at clearing an increasingly growing list of things that make my eyes glimmer with hope, even though I’m very often left hanging out by my Georges. I’m just glad this isn’t really one of them

More free time was found in my shoes, so here I am mixing together two more things that I enjoyed. Namely Metro 2033 and something that I cannot say because it is based on spoilers. But mostly Metro 2033. Also, I used a child as the main character, because I thought writing from the perspective of one would be kinda neat. That, and I have the writing skills of one, so it’d be fitting. Also short, because I had one idea, and wanted to make a sample of it.

I originally thought this up as a character about… a year ago or so. But why not make an origin story for them, because I keep on wanting to just establish a bunch of character with these stories and maybe do crossovers. Not like that idea is any good. In fact, it is pretty bad. And if the title didn’t put you off, I use a bit of Deutsche, because I’m currently taking level zwei German. Also, first thing I wrote for this blog to ever get four drafts, goodie!

Despite a lot of what I say about certain shows, eventually bad mouthing them after I thought they fell from grace, their ideas certainly inspired me, with Mysterious Girlfriend X, Machine Girl, and things I can no longer locate, but were very surreal, being what I’m mimicking this time… Yeah, sorry about this, but I have fun writing this rubbish!

Guh, I am really bad with plowing through series. Admittedly, one episode a day is not so horrible, but it has been nearly three weeks since my last review of an anime series, so I’ll just jump on in, and hide under how it is technically two seasons.

I just want to preface this short story by saying that I do not agree with everything said. This would mostly come as no surprise, but because it is first person, and I don’t carefully alter the main character’s words from my own, I could understand some people thinking that I am sharing my beliefs, when I am not. It is really me just mixing Donnie Darko and Chaos;Head, because I saw them over back to back weekends and got some neat ideas to imitate.

I’ll be honest and say that I am not a very good writer. Sure, I’ve tried my hardest to get better, and hopefully get some free criticism, but there is one aspect I still don’t get above how to make characters, and that is providing a proper scale. In short, I was more or less trying to hit two hundred pages, where I explain the backstory of 26 characters, a massive world filled with smaller worlds, and fulfill any desire I had in my head.

…I don’t know what I’m doing anymore! I never really did, but now I’m just throwing out my dreams and committing plagiarism on my mind! I am literally doing this when I’ve got some free time during school, and I don’t think it is bad. But what was this again? Oh yeah! Here’s a character based prequel on an unintroduced character for my narrative series, Nari’s Log. Because I thought it’d be a fun idea.

I am all but certain that there are only about five people in the world who give a crap about this show. But that didn’t stop me from digging it up via the infinitely convenient set of streaming sites and decide that I should review it. So… DNA²!

I could easily just say that the show let me down about halfway through, by morphing into something else. Done in a manner that caused what it was to be undermined and what it became to be poorly structured. But I write two pages minimum, so I’ll just get to the actual review.
