Winter 2013 Anime Mini Reviews – A Season Full of Meh and GJ-bu

Marow — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 01:07:36 +0000

I will be trying out a new and shorter format for my future seasonal posts, so it would be nice if you could tell if you like it or not. The reason for this is that I do not want to spend hours writing them. Because even if I love doing these posts, the time […]

Spring 2013 Anime Early Impressions – Surprises Everywhere

Marow — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:46:27 +0000

It took me a while to decide, but I have now settled down with the anime I will watch this season. After previously having watched a whopping 20 series at the same time, with most of them turning out to be average at best, it feels nice to end up with a handful of series […]

100 Posts and Counting

Marow — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 20:44:42 +0000

As crazy as this may sound, Anime Viking has now reached 100 posts! Or, rather, 101 counting this one, but nevertheless! My 100th post was a rather silly one: Fantasy Anime League Spring 2013 – MyAnimeList’s Competition is On. To reach this point it took me about a year and a half, which is fine […]

Fantasy Anime League Spring 2013 – MyAnimeList’s Competition is On

Marow — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:01:43 +0000

Have you heard of the “Fantasy Anime League” over at MyAnimeList, a competition of life and death? Of course you have not. Here, go and read about it. You finished? Good. Because this time I will claim the crown. If the link I gave you above was too confusing, then you should know you are […]

Makoto Shinkai – Short Films Reviews and Thoughts

Marow — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 00:21:05 +0000

Last week I wrote about my feelings regarding movies done by Makoto Shinkai. Considering how he is such an interesting creator, I afterwards decided to give his short films a try. Here are my thoughts. What do you think of Shinkai? Note that he has done a few more short films than listed in this […]

Makoto Shinkai – Movie Reviews and Thoughts

Marow — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:09:09 +0000

Originally I planned to do complete reviews for each of his four movies, but I soon realized it was futile. Makoto Shinkai’s works are rather hard to properly write about and my reviews were far too similar to each other. This is why I decided to instead sum up my thoughts in a shorter format […]

GJ-bu is the Best Anime of the Season

Marow — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 01:11:12 +0000

Currently I am watching too much anime, so I did the most rational thing to do and picked up yet another series. Turned out that GJ-bu actually is the best anime of the season. Do not be scared by the seemingly dull premise of a single male character being stuck in a clubroom with pretty girls, […]

So I Just Finished Boku no Pico

I liked the music. The cicadas were pretty cool too.

Winter 2013 Anime Impressions – I Watch Too Much Anime

Marow — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 00:43:07 +0000

As a way to get into the groove of blogging we will now take a look at the winter anime season. I find it funny that I in the preview post said I would not end up watching a lot and instead spend my time plowing through my anime backlog. By now I should know […]

Why Shaft is My Favorite Anime Studio

Marow — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:08:18 +0000

To start, I want to say that I am sorry for not having updated for quite some time. I caught the flu and cannot say I was in a state to blog anything coherent. I hope you understand. Everyone probably has their own favorite anime studio for one reason or another. Mine is Shaft, the […]
