How many anime reviews have I done in 2013 thus far? Four? A bit slow on my part, but that is because I have yet to see anything that necessarily wowed me. And there is nothing like seeing something that could potentially do that fall down into a sinkhole, but in a way that makes me feel like I read a book with missing pages. But more on that in the actual review, this time being a show that took a single letter for its name, because of reasons.

You know that feeling where you want to talk about something, but are torn and filled with mostly minor feelings, because the “something” is stuck in a variation of limbo? As well as not having an ending at all? Well, that’s where I am with My Little Monster, a show I originally desired to use as mouth wash for Sword Art Online, but made me question if it was the same studio who brought me one of my favorite series more than anything.

I got bored, and decided to answer a random list of 100 Questions. Mostly because I am waddling through The Witcher 2 and My Little Monster, so they’ll be February postings. And I prepped up Nari’s Log as much as I could without losing interest. So learn some facts about my persona, since I normally try to be semi-”professional”. And gimme some Grotes!  Yay for no demand!
(more…)

Okay, so this is the original page of Nari’s Log, which I originally intended to be a “magnum opus”, before I decided that I didn’t like the direction I set up.  So I redid the whole thing, starting from scratch.  Which you should be able to find if you just look up Nari’s Log.  Assuming I don’t do reboot it for a third time.  Besides, no one cared much about it, so I hope my other attempt will work more.  I mean, I condensed my first 12 chapters into 4.  I kept a lot, but I think I gave it more personality, because this one was getting dull to write for, because I didn’t plan very well. 

Really? out of all the titles one could go with, what major studio would allow something named, BTOOOM! to be released? I know it’s minor and there’s the language barrier, but this just sounds off. Well, it has meaning in the show, but that’s besides the point. Titles mean very little, so I might as well dive into something I only looked into, because I wanted to see if it would manage to be a deconstructive examination on several tropes, or just be a victim of them. Well, neither, but hence the season one bit that I was unaware of when I began watching this show and I’m guessing you can tell why if you look at the title of this review.

You know what I find to be something akin to frustrating about Anime? How I like to follow a completed story, and they all finish about the same time if you want to do the recent stuff. One could call this the start of a six part series on the selected Fall 2012 Anime I chose to review based on an interesting sounding premise or I hear Sir Tobbii talk about it. Instead of rushing to the most recent stuff, I’m starting with what finished first, before I finish, and have to do the whole thing once more for Winter 2013, while hopefully getting to the Berserk movie trilogy sometime between. But onto the review in question
(more…)

I suppose every day is a beginning of some sort. However, today felt like something fresh, something new, something that I would probably regret twice as much as I would love it at the time. Maybe it was some misplaced optimism, or that I forgot how a hyper-intelligent Red Panda was in charge of my life. Now, I was not sure what I had to do in terms of exploring the OMNI, other than how I had to “Shift” into others. Still, if I didn’t wake up, I’d just be forced to do it.
(more…)

The darkness seemed to last longer than before, likely due to how I succeeded in preventing this place from going down the pooper. But the important thing was that I was back in my prior form, and now, now I would get all the answers I desired, and then some. At least I got to meet some others in addition to this utterly batty Red Panda. But onto my tale for this… Cycle, if it were.
(more…)

I’ve got to say, high expectations are a really horrible idea. Well, I guess that’s all I really need to say about this show. I originally bought it, since I couldn’t find high quality stuff online, even though there are now, and did not watch it, simply because I thought I should save it for a rainy day. Well, after watching Master of Martial Hearts, I felt like breaking in this series’ seven episodes. And, it was not worth the wait of nearly 18 months, I’ll tell you that.
(more…)

Some might call me desensitized, and some might call me a fool. But either way, I think I did it. What was it? I dunno. Everything worked out well, or at least I hope it did. I normally have a good recollection of events, but here? Nu-uh. Yet, I can’t start anew until I tell you my story this time, as if I am talking to another lifeform. Hell, who’d even be observing these? The Doctor who is a talking Red Panda? I’d think he’d, yeah, I’m calling it a he, because I don’t know a gender-neutral term that flows as well, have better things to do. Seeing as how he was able to do all of this. But I am getting off-topic here.

I barely recall anything about where I was before I was in this “OMNI” place, but I think I’ve deduced that appearance was important over there. Part of me is grateful that I no longer am involved with such a place, but I know that is only to point out just how foolish they, and presumably myself as well, were. As someone who has been changing appearances all- Who am I kidding, I don’t have a sense of time any more! Short version, I found myself in the body of a child, with the objective to go to an area a few blocks away, and I had to wait there, sing, and get a bullet lodged into her head. Because that is a nice thing to do!
(more…)

I never was one to believe in a divine entity. At least, I don’t think I was. My life was merely a sequence of events where I am confused, and merely die, with the third time obviously not being the charm that I would get my answers. Now? Now all I’ve got are more questions! Yet, I am getting ahead of myself. Where was I?
(more…)

My skull felt like it was trapped in a vice grip, with one final twist being more than enough to burst my head like a plum tomato. I hardy recalled a single goddamn thing. Just that I woke up in some weird-ass garage, got into some clothes, got some food, biked to a city, and then… Its all blank. Oh, and I guess my name is Nari or something like that. I was some teenager with white hair and blue eyes. Emphasizing the past tense on the last bit, because I almost immediately noticed that was no longer the case.
(more…)

The first memory that I can recall happened only a few hours ago, when I woke up. I had no idea who I was, where I was, why I was there, why I was there- you get the picture. Sure, I still knew about certain things, yet most of it seemed to be picked out in a seemingly random order. I knew about language, writing, and common elements in storytelling, but no characters or actual examples. I knew mathematics up to Trigonometry, basic level Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, yet my knowledge of history was mostly devoid of dates, or even names. Even then it was pretty barren, to the point where I could not even recall where I was from. Or perhaps that was just the fact that I had some form of amnesia?
(more…)

Hello readers, if you are even bothering to look at this. After my attempt at an ongoing story with Intertoids, I foolishly believe myself to be ready to try and do something not unlike it, although with actual characters, and a plot that I thought of before writing. Well, more like a proper framework, seeing as how Intertoids was originally a one-off.
(more…)

Part of me feels inherently bad when I am unable to go through a 25 episode series within a week. Afterall, at most it would be a 8.5 hour long session that can be broken up by watching three episodes thrice, sandwiched in by sour sessions of four. I mean, I can spare up to three hours for a game, why should another medium be limited towards one or less? Maybe I just dislike marathoning stuff I like, because I didn’t want it to end. Or maybe it is just how I am dreading what I have to do next, and even the most mediocre stuff shines in comparison, let alone something I find to be wonderful.
(more…)

It has been a while since I did one of these long winded Fairly Messy Rants, which is a title that I am debating, since it is more of a critique than a rant.  However, I don’t see a huge need to change the title, mostly because I dislike manipulating categories via this interface, and it encompasses my feelings whilst writing.  So let’s talk society, because I have no reviews on my posting backlog.  So have something I made a few months ago, and I am not so super fond of.

Once in awhile, there comes a show that abolishes all expectations that I had for it. However, pretty much everyone who kept up with anime during 2011 probably already knows this, but hey, more exposure never really hurt anything if it is done by people who understand the product, and I think I do. Yes, this is a magical girl anime, and I can safely call it badass.

I honestly do not try to have my anime reviews balanced like this. I like talking about good stuff, stuff that I want people to see. I do not like thinking that I have found a gem, and then having it turn into burning rocks while in my hands! So time to talk to another show that I heard good things about, Mysterious Girlfriend X. Where the only mystery is how the show could have sunk so low.

Twelve-year-old me once said something along the lines of, “Don’t judge a book by its cover, judge it by the description on the back. If it sounds nifty, give it a whirl!” But with a plot synopsis, it is still easy for something to not result in being anything like you expected it. It happened with pretty much every drama review I made, and Oreimo, to a certain extent. Yet, is this a case where the dismissal of the premiss allows it to soar high and smile while boiling in space, or dig a whole to some magma and lose it’s flesh? If you’ve checked out my twitter account during October the 21st-25th, you probably know the answer. For everyone else, here’s a review.

I try to be open to pretty much everything. However, upon going through several iterations of what I refer to as “Youth Drama” animes, I have come out bored and upset that I watched that instead of trying to review something fun. Like a show about the Cthulhu mythos, reimagined with cute anime girls.  However, this week I am here to talk about Tari Tari, a show like, Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Moyashimon: Tales of Agriculture, and Angel Beats. Yes, I have shown myself to not be a very big fan of this subgenre. However, a show about people being happy might just be enough to get me out of this runt, hit the jump and find out.

You know, I do not really like it when after playing a game for a few hours, I do not want to beat it and can’t even force myself into doing it.  I think my breaking point is not when a game is bad, but when the design just baffles me to the point where I can’t convince myself that the product can be redeemed.  A wise man once said that if something keeps getting worse, it will likely not pull a U-turn and go into something great.  Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was one of the least simulating globs that I even feel ripped off for getting it for $40 at launch.  While Bayonetta was just not fun for me after 2 hours, and was going to be too repetitive if I tried to play it the proper way.

I am the kind of guy who believes that something should not be judged completely based on its surface elements. However, those surface elements should accurately represent a product unless the point of a misleading surface element is for some kind of deconstruction, like with Spec Ops: The Line. So when I looked up information on this title, only to figure out that the titles of Oreimo is just an abbreviation of something that translates to, My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute… A title that would make anyone a bit embarrassed if they brought it up to the register unless it is also a place that sells body pillows of middle schoolers. So let’s dive into something that can be of really any quality at this point. (more…)

You know, taking a list of shows from someone who is hardly even close enough to call a friend and scheduling to watch all of them through, wasn’t the best idea. I bring this up because I would not end up watching this show otherwise. Part of ti is due to how it is a romance, and I am the kind of guy who never had and has no real desire to obtain a Girlfriend. However, I loved ToraDora, and that was a romance, so let’s see if I found this to be a gem in the rough, or more of the same.

Hm?  Oh right, I completely forgot I had this. Go and read on if you are curious.

I only started watching this show for two reasons. One, it is called YuruYuri, and any show with the gall to call itself its own genre should be interesting enough to take a glance at. Two, the line, “Your breasts have ruined my Christmas.” A line that reminds could spell either greatness or doom. But is this a disappointing sack pandering of crap, or does it stand out as a humorous romp? Read on for your answer!

Okay, this post is pretty much a response to the latest episode of Extra Credits, Beyond Fun.  Now, even though I love the show and want you to watch it, I am not really commenting on what they say, which boils down to, “Games can and should be more than just run, fire, kabowie, zoom, blop, save the world!”  However, it is the use of the word “fun” within the episode that I disagree with.

Well, after nearly 3 months of the first simulcasted anime I’ve ever watched, the story comes to a close. Part of me is tempted to give this show several “best” awards for creating a feeling of sheer oddness that I have not felt since Deadly premonition. But does this odd little show rise up through its fellow modern shows, or does it, like the titular humanity, decline?

I have actually been dreading the fact that I need to talk about this show. I have my reasons, and I will explain, but what I thought to be a light hearted show about farming, ended up being the least fulfilling show I can recall in recent memory. Christ, at least Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan inspired me to come up with a show about Pedophilia. If you want to know more, I have jumps for a reason.
