Venus Project: Climax Lives Up to Its Name

...It does, in a way. At first glance, Venus Project: Climax sounds like some kind of hentai, but it's not...and with only 6 episodes, it doesn't have much time to waste. The Anime Watching Club Boss Battle is to blame for this post. See, as of the time I write this, it's dealt me idol,...

#AniTwitWatches Round 7: Rolling Girls 5 – 6

Shachihoko puns ahoy! Previous eps. Eps 1 - 2 Eps 3 - 4 Episode 5 Disney Princess Chiaya! Calling it now. Why does this girl have a koala on her shoulder? Okay, so the gold fish-thing is a shachihoko. It’s (obviously) Mie Motors because Mie is a part of the Kansai region, which contains (but...

Unpopular Opinions Time (Tag Post)

Thanks to Mari for the tag. Disclaimer: The title warned you what this is about already, so if you don't want internet arguments, it's best you head to a different post. Also, there are vague spoilers in the love triangle bit (and large spoilers in the alternate answer) - but if I told you what...

Ode to Anime Studios – Gainax

Thanks to everyone who voted in that poll I ran. I’m not sure if you noticed the poll on the previous Ode post took precedence, but Gainax had the 2nd place position on the Twitter poll anyway. If you wanted to know (or didn’t see the Must-read Monthly Monday for this month), Trigger was the...

Summer 2020 First Impressions: Best ’til Last (?)

  Page jumps are geting harder to wrangle as the editor continues to evolve, so I'm skipping them and changing my posts to match. I've also started linking where you can see the anime yourself, although that may only apply to certain regions. The first post contained: Get Up! Get Live! (TV short) Misfit of...

Behold, the Universe is Full of Blessings!

Now that we're in our own version of the apocalypse...what did Owari no Seraph, Parasyte and others predict about the end? Meta note: This Planet With post finally came to life by splicing it with a more stream-of-consciousness kind of post which covers several anime (I called it "[an] Irina-like post") I had in my drafts....

#AniTwitWatches Round 7: Rolling Girls 3 – 4

AMQ's starting to mess with my brain... Here's a weird story: I start Rolling Girls for the week. A bit after the OP, I stop and do other stuff and when I want to get back to it, the internet goes out. It's about 12 am at this point, so I go to sleep to...

Summer 2020 First Impressions: It’s All a Bit Muddled

Between all these virtual cons at unreasonable hours (but reasonable US hours), a few new shows which exist on the periphery coming into the fray and delayed simulcasts showing up again...wouldn't you say it's all a bit muddled too? Page jumps are geting harder to wrangle as the editor continues to evolve, so I'm skipping...
