Fanservice and Nogizaka Haruka, What the hell happened?

A while back in June 2009, I wrote a lengthy editorial on how fanservice can ruin the overall story of an anime. Well, this becomes a reality with Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu.
I have watch both seasons and the first season was far better besides a few panty shots is that they focused on the over [...]

Kanon – Episode 18 Thoughts and Impressions

Well, it’s never too late to post about Shiori’s birthday, right?

Kanon – Episode 17 Thoughts and Impressions

Yuuichi keeps a promise in treating Shiori like he always does when she starts attending school before her birthday… and still conflicted with her older sister.

Kanon – Episode 16 Thoughts and Impressions

Since Shiori’s birthday is next week, I decided to blog about the three episodes of Shiori, since she is my #1 favorite character…

K-ON! – Episode 14 (OVA) Thoughts and Impressions

This is a rather refreshing episode to get back on the K-ON! mood since after all, there is another season… Wait? Another season of K-ON! So, more cake eating and tea drinking, cosplaying and beach scenes than actual practicing?
Hold up… We are not there yet. They decide to do a live performance at a Live [...]

Seitokai no Ichizon – Final Impressions

Seitokai no Ichizon is one of those anime that you like or you don’t and is the black sheep of this season. People dismissed it as being a plotless reference show… or is it?
The anime proved itself to be a very enjoyable experience that have very funny moments and references that fit in nicely. In [...]

Seitokai no Ichizon – Episode 12 – Thoughts and Impressions (END)

This is probably the last episode left… and it was great… well the show starts off with Mafuyu’s confession. She likes Ken, but not willing to date him since she wants things to remain what they are. Next, Kurimu asking them about the future… which leads us to ridiculous responses including Ken who wants to [...]

Merry Christmas and Nagisa’s Birthday

Today is December 24th, which means it’s Furukawa Nagisa’s birthday… Happy Birthday Nagisa!
If you don’t know who is Nagisa, she is the main heroine in Clannad
While we on the topic of Christmas, I feel like reviewing some Anime’s with a Christmas Episodes…
Well, Nogizaka Haruka had one, but filled with fanservice… Well, all Christmas Episodes always [...]

Clannad – Kyou’s Arc – Final Impressions

If you have recalled, I have written a review about Kyou’s arc several months ago. However, the visual novel contained a lot more plot, which was missing… The actual Kyou’s arc in the visual novel is a big emotional roller coaster ride towards the end of her arc compared to the OVA… Well heres why…

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Second Season – Final Impressions

It’s pointless now to write about Episode 12, so let’s go to the final review…
Content
The major problem beside the less focus on Haruka (more of a source material issue than the anime itself) is the fanservice… Fanservice everywhere, but not on the level of more fanservice oriented shows like Kampfer. Its plot and fanservice was [...]

Seitokai no Ichizon – Episode 11 Thoughts and impressions

Well, this episode is just as funny… but what made it epic is… errr… Mafuyu confesses to Ken, which is totally unexpected… You got to remember this, Mafuyu is apparently the easiest girl Ken could get…
Besides from that, the episode starts with Ken (as Key-kun) talking to Yuki (Mafuyu) online and talking about his goal [...]

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Second Season – Episode 11 Thoughts and Impressions

Yuuto’s pathetic self can’t get any worse when he actually believe the words Yayoi and Nozomi said and let them get away with their shenanigans with Haruka… They are trying to take Haruka away from you… are you possibly going to let them get away with it. The first half had him moping around… hopeless [...]

Seitokai no Ichizon – Episode 10 – Thoughts and Impressions

This episode can’t get any funnier, but I will highlight the funniest parts. Kurimu start with telling a tear jerking story with a mother mouse giving all her cheese to her child that made her cry since the mother mouse died. Another instance when Mafuyu tells a story when she loses her memory and forgot [...]
