But he won’t. He won’t die because this show isn’t committed to heartbreak. It’s committed to good-natured fun. But he must die, because it would make for incredible awesomeness. I heard rumors that there’s a second season that’s green-lit. That’s … Continue reading

Two shows just completed: Tiger & Bunny, and Sacred SeveN – Sunrise Studio’s contributions to the hero sub-genre of anime. Both finales are let-downs, this is my sentiment. Overall however, both shows were both interesting and entertaining viewings over the … Continue reading

I don’t think Rakenrol is that good, but instead I think it’s one of those things that’s better than good. You know, like fishballs from the street and not from those franchised booths at the mall. It’s probably bad, but … Continue reading
