I really, really meant to review Bakemonogatari way back when it aired, since the show seemed to captivate the anisphere. Here’s the thing: I was never quite sure...

New anime review: Recorder to Randoseru - by cassiesheepgirl

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 12:52:19 PST

I confess that I have a bit of a thing for short anime series. Whenever I spot any new offerings that have episodes of five minutes or less I tend to jump on them, since they’re just enough to satisfy that anime craving and handy for...

In the Internet Generation, the word “epic” gets bandied about a lot, but once in a blue moon, a series comes along to remind us of the way we used to use it before computers came along. Odysseus defeated the warriors of Troy...

New anime review: Working'!! - by ThePatches

New anime review: Tiger & Bunny - by Hesse

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 18:38:36 PST

My first impressions of Tiger & Bunny were skeptical at best; a show about mascot superheroes plastered with corporate logos brings to mind some dubious product placement anime...
