Holy shmoly…I just finished Last Exile

No, this isn’t one of those, “and it was awesome” post. It is one of those, “I thought I finished it seven years ago” post. So, I’m sitting in my living room all cozy and whatnot due to the relinquishing of the ambient temperature during the season Winter, henceforth known as coldy-time. It being Sunday; [...]

Strike Witches 2 – Miyafuji badassery

j.valdez — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 01:25:01 +0000

I’ve always found it interesting that the heroines in anime are often strong, independent, and motivated. Whilst, the male heroes are often indecisive, reckless, and incompetent. The presumption is that this is because of the predominance of male anime fans. I’ve heard speculation that male characters are designed so that male fans can put themselves [...]

Angel Beats has shown itself to be adept at being funny, with plenty of physical (absurd) humor. In many ways Angel Beats is more humorous than our Best Show Ever pick. My only issue with Angel Beats: it does not show the same skill in conveying the emotion in its characters as it does with [...]

I’ve been out of the blogging game for a few months, now. It isn’t that I haven’t wanted to blog. Time is simply not on my side. That beast eats so much of my life, ya’ know. At any rate, to the point of this post. I’ve still been watching the anime. There were some [...]

Uiharu is not happy with you.

Heroic Age and some other random stuff

j.valdez — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:03:05 +0000

Long ago, in time long forgotten, there was an anime called Heroic Age. Actually, it wasn’t all that long ago. It would be around two years or so. Of course, in aniblogger time, that might as well be Precambrian. Bloggers tends to be a bunch that have a fixation on the current. I tend to [...]
