Tytania is a show that gives high expectations and fails to live up to them. It has so much potential for greatness but ends up squandering them faster than a glue-sniffing MIT grad. If Yoshiki Tanaka, the author of the original novels, were dead, he’d be spinning in his grave right now. But he isn’t, [...]
Here’s another ancient artefact unearthed during my idle excavation of anime past. RahXephon is an original anime series from the long-gone era of 2002, back when George W Bush ruled the free world with an iron fist and people thought Witch Hunter Robin was actually enjoyable. Those were simpler times. *switches on flame shield* I [...]
And so I continue my way. Life is once again settling into a comforting rhythm, though deep in my heart I sometimes wish for a beautiful girl to descend from heaven and take me to her world with her giant mecha. Maybe that is why I recently brushed the digital dust off this ancient relic [...]
It’s been so long since my last post. It’s not that my schedule is too full for my to blog — it isn’t — but rather I feel my writing inspirations gradually drained from my soul in this mindless meat grinder that is involuntary national service. It will be a journey of rediscovery as I [...]
Tower of Druaga is like that ugly girl with the glasses whom you have never actually met in real life, and when you finally do meet her, you realize that she’s in fact very attractive and doesn’t actually wear glasses. Also, there’s probably a that’s-what-she-said joke somewhere in that title…
After various delays and a slow start, I finally finished the true ending of Yoake Mae yori Ruri-iro na ～Brighter than dawning blue～. I have to say, you need a lot of patience to reach the good parts of the game, because the first half of it is only slightly more interesting than watching paint [...]
I had quite a bit of reservation about this series… It’s bad enough that they made the latest entry in the awesome TokiMemo series of dating sims an online multiplayer game (wtf I know), but now they even made an anime based on the MMO? It just sounded like one huge game advertisement… After watching [...]
I bought the 1/6 Saber Holiday ver. from GSC today. My will is so weak. Gao… It’s a pretty good deal considering the printed retail price is ￥6,800 and I got it for S$75 (about ￥5,500). Still, can’t say that it didn’t hurt a little…
Zero no Tsukaima is an original light novel series by Noboru Yamaguchi published under MF文庫 (Media Factory bunko). The first novel took me about three days to finish. For comparison, it took me a few weeks of half-hearted reading to complete Suzumiya Haruhi no Tameiki. Either Zero was that good or Tameiki really really sucked. [...]
Zipang, or Zipangu, or Jipangu, or however you think it should be spelt, is the ancient European name for Japan. It was believed by foreigners to be a land of immense wealth and the name carries a somewhat mythical association. Zipang the anime is about Mirai, an AEGIS class cruiser belonging to the Maritime Self [...]
As you may have noticed, I don’t like to do episode blog entries. Usually I can’t think of anything clever to say and most anime episodes don’t give much to talk about. Sometimes I do a review of the first episode of a new series but other than that I try to stay away from [...]
NHK is about a guy who is a NEET (Not in Employment, Education, Training) and a hikikomori (someone who doesn’t go out of his house), who is subsequently turned into an otaku and a lolicon by his ex-schoolmate. You can’t go any lower than that. He believes that NHK (nihon hikikomori kyoukai) is a secret [...]
