Denpa teki na Kanojo does not fuck around

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Remember how Kure-nai couldn’t stop fucking around? Shockingly, in the greatest redemption story mankind has ever witnessed, the author of Kure-nai bounced back and wrote Denpa teki na Kanojo. This time he didn’t fuck around one bit. Just look at the cover. There’s rain…a girl with an umbrella…doesn’t look like anything special…and then— OH SHIT, [...]

Describing Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger without using the word “Perfect”

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Berserk + a real ending Claymore – Raki Mouryou no Hako + subtitles Soul Eater – everyone except Stein and Medusa Kibure + an appearance in episode 14 Miniami-ke – all the non-Hosaka scenes Gankutsuou – the ambiguously gay ending Higurashi – the noise complaint I got for blasting the intro theme at 4AM Maddox [...]

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Picking up with the same three categories from last time: 1. The Plot is still Crap The ending was terrible: show Murasaki, who’d supposedly given up on her freedom, conceived and brokered the most convenient compromise in the universe within minutes of Kurenai’s implausible yet predictable victory. Benika suddenly became the weakest character in the [...]

Kure-nai: Crappy Plot, Crappy Show

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I tried to be reasonable. I tried to be delicate. I tried to make a serious point with class and grace. What did it get me? A ton of inane comments ignoring all my arguments and reiterating the same hollow crap: Kure-nai is awesome and Plot doesn’t matter. The only one who didn’t whore himself [...]

Kure-nai 07: How not to go into hiding

Friday, May 30th, 2008

“Even I could find me” 1. Don’t change your name You went through all that trouble to escape; now you risk getting caught because you’re too lazy change your name? This is the same shit they pulled in Seirei no Moribito. At least Balsa made up some excuse about nobody believing she’d still be alive. [...]
