Remember that nothing is sacred from anime, and I mean nothing. As if messing with Cthulhu wasn't bad enough, they've mixed up and moefied events from the bible, nordic mythology and world war 2. Speaking of sacred, angels, demons and all those religiously inclined creatures are a popular theme in supernatural anime, which is where High School ...more

There...I said it!   Of course this is all opinion, I honestly do think that we're losing grip on how to make characters memorable. I put this down to two things: Markets are flooded now more than ever. Games and anime are trying to do too much. In a nutshell I think developers, scriptors, authors, directors, writers etc have almost ...more

Horror and Thriller movies sorta have a thing for rural village communities. It makes sense I guess, quiet group of people, secluded by forest or mountains from the rest of the world. Maybe they have some weird religious tendencies or a strange history but so what, it's the countryside! If a farmer wants to kill ...more

Good thing anime is often left untranslated and unreleased to the west. Knowing how touchy some of the Americans can be, I don't think they'd like shows about Flying half-naked nazi witches, genetically anguished robots and a Japanese school girl who's apparently God. Coming straight outta 2011's abstract anime line-up is Kamisama Dolls, an action ...more

Knocked some sense into yourself after Haruhi's supposedly subliminal symbolism? Forget the big stuff now and think about the everyday man.

Dried those tears after School days' catastrophic conclusion? Stepping back from grim real world issues into something a little more abstract, this time we'll be looking at one of the most popular and influential series of the past decade. Kyo-ani's giant that pushed it's way into stardom, to the point where it has its own ...more

Most anime fans will be able to tell you about the presumable barriers their hobby has put between themselves and others. Most of the time it's nothing major, a silly misunderstanding, an intolerant friend, maybe an awkward situation where an explanation just wasn't enough. Social life and understanding, you can work with those. But what ...more

Summer seems to be the time of many things. Sports, vacations, leisure and of course, love. Summer love is no strange them in anime, and when the weather's hot, you'd expect some equally steamy romance to pick up. Coming from J.C. Staff studio, Ano Natsu de Matteru (fondly called "Dat Summer") is a romantic drama ...more

They say it's every girls dream to get married and be a wife and stuff. That seems a little old fashioned to me, I'm sure there's lots of girls who have slightly more ambitious plans for their future. Perhaps chained to simplicity, Okusama wa Joshikōsei details the lives of a young married couple who share ...more
