Somehow, a girl came out Macademi Wasshoi, translated as Magician’s Academy, began its life as a series of light novels by Ichiro Sakaki , published between 2003 and 2007. Its popularity has seen it recreated as two manga adaptations and a video game. The anime has been released in this year’s Fall Season and from [...]

Black Lagoon returns in the ‘Second Barrage‘ a continuation of the original series.  Expect more drinking, swearing and gun-fights as the season starts off with a spooky and somewhat surreal bang. Join Revy ‘Two Hands’, the gun-toting killer with a love for action, drink, and Rock, the ex-salaryman now working as the errand boy for [...]

Kyoto Animation released the Lucky Star OVA on the 26th September in Japan. I am aware this episode has been much anticipated by many an anime fan after it’s announcement earlier in the year. I myself included couldn’t wait to finally see this 42 minute installment of Lucky Star and it was a welcome return [...]

Strike Witches from Gonzo in a nutshell was about, flying Loli’s with animal attributes strapped to rockets with lots of panty shots, but I will admit they did attempt to do the fan service slightly more tastefully than other shows I have encountered this season. The character designs though very cute are too young for [...]

Special A is a high school comedy series from Gonzo based on the original manga by Maki Minami. Which centres around Hikari Hanazono the number two ranked student within the prestigious Special A class. Her long time rival is Kei Takishima the top ranked student in the school, who excels at everything. No matter how [...]

The third season of Ikkitousen took the formula for the first two seasons and I can safely say camped it up to the extreme. At times I have to admit the content of the episodes was beyond silly but, of course, being Ikkitousen we all expect that anyway. This show is pretty much complete ecchi [...]

Vampire Knight was one of several shoujo shows airing over the spring/summer period. Like most shows in the shoujo genre this is a classic romance title, of course being called Vampire Knight it does have a slightly different Gothic edge to it which fits in nicely with the current resurgence of vampire chic. The main [...]

I’ve waited patiently for the CLANNAD OVA to come out for a while. Although please bear in mind this is a stand alone OVA and has nothing to do with the plot of the original series. This one off episode follows the Tomoyo arc from the game as opposed to the Nagisa arc that the [...]

My first series review from spring season and I had to start with what I have to say was the WORST show of the season, Kanokon or what I have affectionately dubbed as the atrocity that is Kano-crap as that is literally what this show is. It’s pointless, mindless and at times uncomfortable rubbish that [...]

Well it’s summer season already (strange I didn’t think Spring had actually finished yet) and we welcome back the series with the serious jiggle factor, Ikkitousen : Great Guardians or as the joke goes they’ve gone from a DD to a GG this time around. So it’s a short season of boobs, pantsu, fighting, school [...]

S.A. or Special A is the new comedy/ drama series from Gonzo based on the original manga by Maki Minami. The opening theme is “Special Days” by Yuko Goto, sadly there was no opening animation on the first episode, the ending theme is “Hidamari no Gate” by Jun Fukuyama, Hiro Shimono, Tsubasa Yonaga & Kazuma [...]

Mnemosyne is a 6 episode supernatural Horror/Thriller series from Xebec. I will first say it is pretty graphic, with scenes of torture, experimentation, nudity and sexual content. You have been warned this isn’t a series for the faint of heart, if you are in any way squeamish don’t watch it. Mnemosyne is named after the [...]

Spice+Wolf was yet another pleasant surprise this season, this Supernatural Historical Adventure series ticked all the right boxes in managing to stay compelling and entertaining throughout. The animation was well done with very pleasing character designs especially the cheeky Horo. I also like that this proved yet again that a series can be good without [...]

Kanokon or another anime of fox girls, bouncing boobs and Pantsu! from Xebec , The character designs are pleasing enough I do like big moe eyes. The intro song is “PHOSPHOR” by Ui Miyazaki and ending is “Koi no Honoo” by Yui Sakakibara, both are extremely lively and upbeat which fits quite well with this [...]

H20 ~Footprints in the Sand~ turned out to be an more interesting series than I originally predicted. The quality of the animation was pretty poor at least when compared to what else was on offer but the plot was interesting enough to keep it entertaining. What surprised me is the dark turn the series eventually [...]
