Hyouka – 04 Review

Episode 04 - Past Days of the Classics Club and It’s Glory

Right… So Oreki does it again with his mystery solving skills, but this time he solves it all?

I doubt it.

The show is bad… but it can’t be that bad.

Summer 2012 Anime Preview

Here’s the list of anime that’s out in Summer 2012.

Yay for a second season for Moyashimon! One can never have too many cute micro-organisms floating around. =)

Hyouka – 03 Review

Episode 03 – Inheritors of the Classics Club and Its Circumstances
aka Episode 03 – The Case of The Smelly Student

So this episode finally gets down to the main “mystery” plot and the episode simply starts off on a “WTH” note and ends on a “WTH” note. (And I don’t mean it in a positive manner)

If you like some mystery mixed in with your slice-of-life genre then this might be right up your alley as this is just what the series is playing out to be – a light (and not that interesting) slice-of-life show with a hint of mystery.

Hyouka 02 – Review

Hyouka – A mystery series where what the girl wants is more important than the truth

Episode 02 – Activities of the Glorious Classic Literature Club

This episode  brings us to the end of the introduction of new characters and the episode finishes on a cliffhanger (kinda).

Judging from the way things are progressing, we can expect the next episode to cover the main mystery plot of the series.

Fate/Zero II – 01 – 03 Review

Episode 01 (14) -03 (16)

I have been slowly making my way back to the blog and this is my first review in months. Hopefully I haven’t lost too many braincells over the last few months. But honestly, I can hardly tell which way is up.

Since I am feeling all old and rusty, I’ll probably end up making this review a speedy one covering a few points from each episode.

Winter 2011/2012 Anime v2 and Trailers

Hi all! It’s been awhile since I last did a “news” type post.

It is partly due to the fact that there isn’t really any extremely exciting news out, the other part is the fact that the list of anime to review for Fall never seem to get any shorter. =P Everytime I think that I have some down time, another anime would pops up. Well, I am not really complaining about it since it is fun to write up the reviews. =) Okay, moving on from my rant…

Animucharts has released their second version of their infographic chart for the Winter 2011/2012 Anime.

There doesn’t seem like there is too many drastic changes made to it. So to spice things up,  I have decided to do a search and have added the trailers that are currently out to this post.

No. 6 – 04 Review

“Get away from me woman, I only like men!”

Episode 4

Sorry for the day late review, kinda crashed after doing Blood-C’s review last night.

This was another good episode. As compared to the plot progression that was shown in the last few episodes, this one focused more on the character development between Shion and Nezumi and their changing personalities.

Makoto Shinkai’s New Movie – Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below

Was surfing around the net and I found this.

I can’t wait to see this movie. Makoto Shinkai first appeared with the movie Voices of a Distant Star, and his last work before this movie was 5cm per second, which as you all know, was fantastic. (You can read my review of it here)

No. 6 – 02 Review

After watching Blood-C, this feels like a nice breath of fresh air on a warm humid day.

Summary

Gundam Stars in Nissin Cup Noodle Advertisment

It is nothing new to see anime characters and franchises being integrated into food products to attract a bigger customer crowd. (Remember the Neon Genesis Evangelion products?)

And here is a new advertisment which does just that:

Gundam Stars in Nissin Cup Noodle Advertisment

I found it hilarious and would buy the cup noodles just because of that.

Hope that made you smile just a slight bit. =)

-ra out!
