(Kanojo wa Totemo Kireidatta, to Shounen wa Itta)
"He Said She Was Very Beautiful"

Zetsuen no Tempest keeps rollin' along, chock full of many of the aspects that made the first episode good. Of particular note? Continued quality from Bones and great decisions regarding the adaption of the source material.

Robotics;Notes – 01

By Cherrie October 11, 2012

(Ganvareru ga Matteru Kara)
"Because Gunvarrel is Waiting"

I've been impatiently waiting for Robotics; Notes to air, and it doesn't help that it was one of the last fall shows to premiere. I have a lot of built up anticipation for this series to be epic...

By Stilts October 10, 2012

() (Senritsu no ... Hijiri Chourinin (Puriisutesu))
"Priestess of...the Melody"

This week introduces more characters, with an easygoing senpai and a cool beauty of an onee-san entering the fray. On top of that was some good storytelling that subtly surprised, plenty of adorable moments, and some great (delusional) action. Another delicious treat!

Looks like Hiiro no Kakera is giving that plot horse a good kick in the behind things seem to actually be happening!

First Impressions Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo Series Introduction

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo – 01

By Stilts October 9, 2012

(Neko. Shiro. Mashiro)
"Cat. White. Mashiro"

Take it slow, don't rush, establish the characters, establish the mood - that's how I imagine the production team approached this first episode, and I must say, I am pleased. Every step of the way, from the first sight of cherry blossoms fluttering on the screen to the final roll of credits at the end, served to continually reinforce the mood of a soft, warm, and sweet romantic comedy. There just might be something special going on here.
