I was mucking about the internetz and discovered that Pandora's Heart and 07-Ghost are part of this season's anime line-up too.

I like the Pandora's Heart manga. It's a weird and mysterious, coked-up version of Alice in Wonderland, with sadistic bishounen who have a fetish for eyeballs. While I expect the anime to ultimately deviate badly from ( Read more... )

This April features two anime series based on Playstation 3 RPGs, Valkyria Chronicles and Tears to TiaraI've played a bit of the former but not the latter. I'm happy to note that the anime tries to replicate a bit of the unique pencilling art style of Valkyria Chronicles. While the first episode differs quite a bit from the game, it managed to ( Read more... )

Anyone going for it this weekend?

I didn't really care about Red Cliff, the new two-part historical epic movie by John Woo.

That is until I saw the trailer. Takeshi Kaneshiro as Zhuge Liang and Tony Leung as Zhou Yu. Koutetsu Sangokushi, the slashiest anime interpretation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, has forever destroyed the classical Chinese literature for me. OMG, ( Read more... )

I don't care for ninja anime in general, but Nabari no Ou has succeeded in charming me. The protagonist, Rokujo Miharu, looks like the stereotypical weak and weepy Gary-Stu with stupendous powers. Well, he does possess stupendous powers coveted by both the good and evil sides, but his greatest power is his "super uke charm" which he turns on ( Read more... )

Just saw episode 1 of the Monochrome Factor anime. The yaoi fangirl in me is hyperventilating in absolute delight ( Read more... )

Yay, the new volumes of Mother Keeper and Monochrome Factor, both by Sorano Kaili, are out in stores.

Ricalna/Lint and Shirogane/Akira OTPs forever!

According to the Japanese Wiki, Monochrome Factor will be released as a TV anime in April. Cool. Me wants!

...when it gets Japanese fanservice-type games based on popular animes like Code Geass.

Naturally, the chances of it ever getting an English localisation is slimmer than the PSP itself. Heck, the Bleach titles (there are at least 4) didn't get localised, and those were serious versus-fight games.

I found a relatively cheap copy of Enchanted Arms for the PS3. I've played about an hour and a half. It's fairly typical turn-based JRPG, but I can see why it was so badly received. The game, while not special, is not terrible either. However, there is a dearth of big boobies, at least in the early part of the game, to attract the great ( Read more... )

I think I've been overexposed to Final Fantasy VII. While watching the Black Cat anime, I keep getting FFVII vibes ( Read more... )
