Three of the shows I’m watching were at their last episode: Tokyo Raven, Samurai Flamenco and Hamatora, and all three had satisfactory endings. Buddy Complex and Nobunagun have one more episode to go, and Nobunaga […]

The season is almost over. Samurai Flamenco, Tokyo Raven and Hamatora are really close to ending. It’s a bit unclear for Buddy Complex (there has not yet been a second season announcement) and Nobunagun (I don’t […]

The winter session is coming to a close soon, so all the shows are building up a climax or just going crazy like Samurai Flamenco and Hamatora. Buddy Complex and Tokyo Raven have a nice setup for drama. The […]

The shows are building up! Tokyo Raven was full of drama and promises plenty of action in the next episode, as does Nobunagun. Samurai Flamenco had a slice of life/character episode, which introduced us to Goto’s […]

The end of the wesinter season approach and the shows are really moving toward their finales or mid-season cliffhangers. Lots of tears in Tokyo Raven and Nobunaga The Fools. Samurai Flamenco came up with its […]

Olympics break means two shows were skipped this week: Samurai Flamenco and Nobunaga The Fool. The others are staying current, though. Tokyo Raven is ramping up the finale and it might end up stressful. Buddy […]

Things are moving, everywhere. We get even more craziness in Samurai Flamenco, if that’s possible. Nobunaga The Fool has another sad episode, and the other Nobunaga show focuses on another group of characters. […]

We had two totally ridiculous shows this week: Hamatora and Nobunagun. It’s like the writers asked themselves to put the most absurd ideas into these episodes. They are not bad episodes, mind you, just a bit “out […]

So, after fighting with my new computer hardware I got to finish watching my anime and write this. Tokyo Raven was mostly a “setup” episode for what is to come, as was Buddy Complex. Nobunagun was all guns and […]

Another strong week, even if some shows are going into crazy-land a bit. We’ve got drama, action and lots of talking. Tokyo Raven and Hamatora have been the highlights of the week.!–more–

There are lots of fights this week, some drama, and more of “what the hell is going on?” That’s the best way to summarize this week’s anime.!–more–

Interesting: the school principal was a […]

New year, new shows. Funnily enough, I’m watching two shows based on Oda Nobunaga’s life, sort of: Nobunago the Fool and Nobunagun. This winter season seems to be a bit of a crazy-mecha season as well. We have […]

Winter holidays are over and the last episode of the fall season has played. Gingitsune has left us for good, but both Tokyo Raven and Samurai Flamenco are going to be part of the winter season. […]

We are getting close to the end of the fall season. Tokyo Raven and Samurai Flamenco are going to stay with us for the winter, but Gingitsune and Galilei Donna are leaving us. This means that this week we had […]

Gingitsune was a bit boring this week, but the three other shows made it up for it. Tokyo Raven was all about fighting monsters. Galilei Donna became even more like science fiction. Finally, Samurai Flamenco […]

Plot and characterization were everywhere this week, even if some of the love went to secondary characters. Well, most of the love went to secondary characters­. We also got lots of funky looking monsters in both […]

Solid week once again, although Samurai Flamenco sort of takes a strange turn, or multiple ones, this week. Tokyo Raven advances its plot a bit, and Gingitsune was more low-key and back to funny antics after the […]

Down to four shows, because I dropped Coppelion. Tokyo Raven, Galilei Donna and Samurai Flamenco were all awesome this week, though. Tokyo Raven was more comedic but did have some important plot elements in it. […]

Coppelion was rather dreadful this week, and I’m starting to think of dropping it. Gingitsune, Galilei Donna, and Samurai Flamenco provided emotional episodes. Samurai and Tokyo Raven were also action-packed, but […]

We got some sappy moments this week, at least in Gingitsune and Galilei Donna. Coppelion introduced a new arc, Samurai Flamenco introduced a new hero and Tokyo Raven was the boys’ first time in school. Seems like […]
