Winter 2012 – Inu X Boku Secret Service

tzia_n — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:13:21 +0000

Tsundere loli with a penchant for verbally abusing those around her. The usual stuff I guess.

Ririchiyo-sama

Ririchiyo is the daughter of some high-class family. But the stigma that came along with being born of a high profile family resulted in a less than desirable childhood. Her way of coping was to put up . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Inu X Boku Secret Service

Winter 2012 – Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai

tzia_n — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:57:15 +0000

Wait, isn’t that Kohta Hirano from Highschool of the Dead?!

Where's the sniper rifle?

Segawa Yuuta has just hit college. While he’s already been living away from his married sister, who seems to be his only relative, college is supposed to celebrate absolute independence. So he hits college with a fresh start, and . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai

Winter 2012 – Daily Lives of High School Boys

tzia_n — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:27:28 +0000

This one is a gag comedy show about the daily lives of high school boys which begins with some gundams.

Daily lives... Yeah.

But then again, this turns out to be some kind of meta-gag about how this show was co-created by Sunrise and Square-enix. *shrugs*

Anyway, like I said, this is gag . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Daily Lives of High School Boys

Winter 2012 – Another

tzia_n — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:26:34 +0000

This… This is pure gold. The entire premise itself kinda gives me goosebumps already.

Yep, it's of the horror genre.

Twenty six years ago, a girl well loved by everyone by the name of Misaki died. Oddly enough, the class decided to continue on with life pretending she’s still there. That, sirs, is creepy, . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Another

Winter 2012 – Ano Natsu de Matteru

tzia_n — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:34:36 +0000

So I heard this is from the same makers of Onegai Sensei. True enough, this one features a romantic comedy with an alien as well.

ufo~

Our main character, Kaito, likes filming stuff. On this fateful evening when he decided to take his new high-speed camera on a test run, an alien descended nearby. . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Ano Natsu de Matteru

Winter 2012 – Rinne no Lagrange

tzia_n — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 10:55:38 +0000

So I heard this one had yuri undertones. There wasn’t much as far as the first episode is concerned.

We open with some breast poking action though.

Meet Modaka (no, she’s not magical), our main character. She’s a nice girl, eager to help out everyone as much as she can. That’s why she’s . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Rinne no Lagrange

Winter 2012 – Aquarion Evol

tzia_n — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 08:13:17 +0000

I’ve been lazy~ This kinda reminds me of Macross Frontier, I’m not sure why. Also, a related series exists with the title Sousei no Aquarion. Again, not sure how they are really interrelated.

Sheryl Nome?

So our main character, Amata Sora, is some guy working in a movie house. He’s hooked on this movie . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Aquarion Evol

Rehabilitating the Local Otaku Scene: Stop Piracy

tzia_n — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 15:59:29 +0000

So I’m one to believe that there are a number of things we could, and should correct in the local otaku scene. In the interest of self-improvement, we do want to improve after all, let’s discuss some of these things one at a time. In today’s issue, we’ll tackle: We Better Clean Up Our . . . → Read More: Rehabilitating the Local Otaku Scene: Stop Piracy

Winter 2012 – Area no Kishi

tzia_n — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:04:07 +0000

Yeah, soccer anime. But I guess I might be a little spoiled with Giant Killing, which I thought was really good. Let’s see how this turns out.

See the little people playing soccer?

First and foremost, I have serious problems with seeing these characters as 14 and below. That is, if we go by . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Area no Kishi

Winter 2012 – Moretsu Pirates

tzia_n — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:28:41 +0000

Luffy in Space. No, not really. Its English title is Bodacious Pirates. And that, my friends, tells me this would probably be ridiculous.

Time for some piracy!

And so our main character Marika is your typical high school girl. That, and she’s also some ace rookie pilot.

It's more of a simulator, though.

Moreover, . . . → Read More: Winter 2012 – Moretsu Pirates
