Black Rock Shooter – 3 (Suspicious Counsellors and New Characters)

azeriraz — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 05:32:05 +0000

Ok seriously this anime keeps getting freakier and freakier. Just when you thought it was going to have a slightly more relaxed atmosphere since Kagari had finally calmed down, the school counsellor emerges as a suspicious and frightening new psychopath. I’m still not sure what the story is [...]

Brave10 – 6 (Eternal Quest to Find My Sister)

azeriraz — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 06:23:52 +0000

This episode just completely bind-sided me. I didn’t realise that Brave10 was going to use up one of it’s precious 12 episodes to do a gag episode. Seeing as this episode came out of nowhere, the best way for me to describe it is to use the word bitter-sweet. This comes from enjoying the mass [...]

Black Rock Shooter – 2 (Why Are You Smiling?)

azeriraz — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 04:20:26 +0000

This anime is starting to give me the creeps; in a good way. Kagari as a character is probably the reason why I’m so freaked out by the series. She is a combination of obsessive, possessive, crazy and if she could walk she would most probably be a stalker. Not to mention by carving a heart into [...]

Area no Kishi – 6 (How Did You Get Skinny In 2 Weeks?!)

azeriraz — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:45:33 +0000

I must say, having read a few chapters of the manga I can definitely tell that the production company is trying really hard to make this anime more appealing to children by enhancing the amount of humour in the story. The humour part is not necessarily a bad thing. If I was to be critical about [...]

Weekly Shonen Jump – Review of Issue #11 2012

azeriraz — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:17:54 +0000

Since I read a lot of series running in WSJ and reviewing each of them in their entirety would take a long time, I decided that it would be faster to do them all in one go. Unfortunately I can’t review Kuroko no Basket since, it is behind in scanlations but I will be doing so for the following [...]

Brave10 – 5 (A New Hero?)

azeriraz — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:49:08 +0000

I was wondering when some when the monologues and speeches were going to show show up in this ninja anime. It’s to be expected from any battle series, but now I’m wondering when the series is going to pick up the pace! Seriously, it’s as if the production company went ahead and said, “Ah! We [...]

Area no Kishi – 5 (Swimsuit Fits!)

azeriraz — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 07:20:50 +0000

It’s as if this anime is in a rush to finish! Still going at the same pace it has been for the past 4 episodes, it has managed to surprise me completely. Since I have read the manga up to about 70 odd chapters, I was already shocked to see the anime progress to the high school stage so quickly [...]

Preview of Spring 2012

azeriraz — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:33:27 +0000

Even though we are barely halfway through the winter season, there have been a lot of confirmations of new and exciting anime for the spring season and so I couldn’t help but start the Spring 2012 preview. Bear in mind that the preview is still far from complete; mostly missing preview video’s, [...]

Senhime Zesshou Symphogear – 4 (A New Resolve)

azeriraz — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:21:39 +0000

Finally I can say that I’ve started to enjoy this series being fully aware that I enjoy it and not being confused as to what feelings I have about it! All thanks to one episode which not only takes a huge step forward in the character development and storyline but makes think that things will [...]

Black Rock Shooter – 1

azeriraz — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:59:37 +0000

What the hell – my first thoughts when watching this episode – I haven’t had a reaction like this since I read Clamp’s Gate 7 first volume and when I first saw Mawaru Penguindrum. I’m not sure that the feeling is of being creeped out in a good way or bad, which also worries me a little [...]
