1. The final boss is the Qwaser of Gold The philosophers among you might appreciate the symbolism of gold being the ultimate evil and iron overcoming it. Productive people realize that gold is one of the most industrially useless elements […]

More anime I haven’t seen and can’t meaningfully critique
With my eyes currently out of commission, I’ve had to ignore a lot of anime I’d otherwise carefully and diligently research before ignoring. Spice and Wolf II: She still has a tail – get over it. Basquash: Stupid title Revolutionary Girl […]
Mouryou no Hako was better when I could see
I started watching Mouryou no Hako back in 2008. The show was great. My eyes were great. Unfortunately, neither was meant to last. Subbing for the show quickly slowed to a halt. At the time I couldn’t believe that fansubbers […]
An Unbiased Review of Resident Evil 4
Five things that sucked: 1. The Knife Your only move is a horizontal slash. Since when were AMV Hell videos this misleading? But Baka-Raptor, what about the cut scene knife commands? 2. Cut Scene Commands Cut scenes aren’t supposed to […]
Taishou Yakyuu Musume is what it is: Delightful
These days, picking anime with teenage female casts is like walking through a minefield. For every show that’s good on its merits, another show is called good because “it is what it is.” When nobody differentiates between the good and […]

An Unbiased Review of Metal Gear Solid 3
Three things that sucked: 1. Para-Medic According to Wikipedia: Para-Medic is a FOX support team member who provides Naked Snake with surgical and medical information as well as general information on the local flora and fauna. I beg to differ. […]
I Double-Endorse Queen’s Blade
All it took for Queen’s Blade to win my endorsement was a single episode. Twenty-three episodes later, I’m doubling down. I wouldn’t watch Queen’s Blade if it had a shitty story. Forget for a moment the stereotype that hentai/ecchi/fanservice anime […]
Seitokai no Reference Dropping
Seitokai no Ichizon chronicles the hijinks of a five-girl student council. Each girl represents a different fetish: one is a loli, one is a sadist, one is a tomboy, one is a pussy, and one is a male. Every day […]
Cromartie High School is not Slice-of-Life (Unfortunately)
Cromartie High School? Slice-of-life? Holy shit, that would kick ass! I would do anything to live in a world where it’s plausible, let alone ordinary, to go to school with a sentient robot, a sushi-making gorilla, and Freddie Mercury. Unfortunately, […]
