Shirogane no Ishi: Argevollen Ep. 1: Bland
This episode’s biggest problem was that I kept finding myself pausing it every so often so that I could, well, do anything else. Browse Reddit, listen to sports radio, watch League of Legends streams,...

Rail Wars! Ep. 1: Boobs on rail
I-I-I was told this would be an anime about trains. I also didn’t realize the war part in Rail Wars! would be quite so literal. Apparently, however, these kids will be kicked out of the academy if...

But still, the VRMMO world needs you, Kirito! Oh, you’re a girl now… And there’s another girl with you that isn’t Asuna. Hm. Hah, joke’s on the new girl, though. Why would you fight a swordsman...

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei Ep. 14: Where’s the magic?

Ao Haru Ride Ep. 1: Do the right thing
Futaba keeps going on and on about how Kou has changed, but I’m like, “Hey, I like his new personality!” Okay, maybe I wouldn’t have come right out and call Futaba’s relationship with her friends...

Hal: Beautiful but flawed
The movie works and it doesn’t work. But before I explain what I mean by this, let me just say that this post assumes you already know what the big plot twist is. If you don’t, then you probably...

Terror in Resonance Ep. 1: The cycle of abuse
I’d say Terror in Resonance started off with a bang, but that’d be a little too corny, wouldn’t it? Nevertheless, the story is off to an exciting start, to say the least. As wary as I am about the...

Mother, please… this is highly inappropriate. The OP all but confirms that Rize will maintain a strong presence throughout the story. She’ll continue to play the role of the seductress as she tries to...

Shirogane no Ishi: Argevollen Ep. 2: Blah
Um, is this a joke? I mean, it has to be, right? If our hero hadn’t disobeyed orders in last week’s episode, Jamie would be dead. Not only that, he’d have no fancy mecha to pilot, which is pretty much...
