Coicent/Five Numbers In the midst of titles spanning hundreds of episodes going nowhere slowly, you really have to admire the one-off titles such as these two that in a limited run-time (both are under 30 minutes) can fit in a compelling set-up, climax and denouement and not feel rushed. That...

On a totally unrelated note, Rightstuf brings me more news I've been waiting for. Time once more for the Dance of Joy.

The best H in terms of story would have to be Masquerade. Well, it was grouped in the H-section (it's now out of print) but really it's somewhere between ecchi and full-on hentai. Actually it's more like soft-core hentai. The sex scenes just don't happen willy-nilly (God, that was a bad pun...)...

That's me with my back turned. Saturday 11 May, Veteran Men's Light Continuous final.

Well, it was animated in South Korea, and since a lot of anime is also animated in South Korea, I reckon we can let this one slide. I liked her because she makes fun of the fact that she is blind. Then boy are you going to enjoy watching her come unglued in Season 3. That would be Ethan...

And yet that's not the first truly bizarre plot point in the life of Frank. Go back to the early 90's (or late 80's, I'm not too sure...) and you'll find this: Together with some complications he wouldn't have otherwise experienced:

Diamond Daydreams Some anime titles are brilliant, others atrocious. This one just....is. Its thirteen episode length comprises 6 two-episode tales dealing with a different female lead, and one finale to tie everything together. To its credit, DD manages to keep the main characters and their...

Black Rock Shooter intrigues me. So it will be purchased at some stage.

Rightstuf is currently having a sale on Funimation titles, so with that in mind I've just ordered: Blu-ray: Serial Experiments Lain Complete Collection (Limited Edition) Casshern Sins Complete Series - S.A.V.E. Edition Baccano! Complete Set C - Control: Money of Soul and Possibility Complete...

Welcome to my job... Have you ever solved a problem with the use of a bigger hammer?

Not today, but on Saturday. Two gold medals and one silver at a provincial martial arts tournament. The golds were for Light Continuous fighting (Veterans) and for K1 Full Contact (Heavyweight division). The silver was for Tag-Team Points fighting. I'm only posting this now, because I haven't...

Really?

I take it you've also watched Braindead then, because that's what happened when I watched it. Have you ever experienced the joy of being in a crowded lift and seeing that your floor was the first stop?

Q: What do you get for the man who has everything? A: Something with which to enjoy it all! While I'll never claim to have everything, I was in need of something with which to enjoy my expanding anime collection. So I splashed out on a new three-tier bookshelf and a new recliner. And while I...

Kiba (Rewatch) One look at the packaging of this 2009 release, and the point was driven home that ADV was struggling in an already niche market hit by the global recession. Previously, when they released a multidisc title each disc would come in its own case and the whole lot would slot...
