Mahou Sensei Negima – Chapter 329
Okay, first of all, how long did those first two fights go on, exactly? I find it hard to believe that they could hold out for over an hour AFTER releasing their true forms, especially with Mana using her Instant Loss Bullets the entire time. Hell, Tsukuyomi even says there were 37 minutes and 57 Continue reading…

Billy Bat – Chapter 55/56
Reading Billy Bat has always been a little strange, since it spends so much time focusing on historical events. I’m not sure how the Japanese feel about this sort of thing, since they weren’t as close to events like the assassination of JFK as Americans were. Then again, I was born after it happened and I’m Continue reading…
Deadman Wonderland – Chapter 44/45
(Warning: this post contains spoilers. I know that’s pretty much a given, but with the anime still ongoing, it was worth reiterating.) Deadman Wonderland is quickly approaching its inevitable ending. I thought this was fairly obvious even before the chapter titled “The Beginning of the Ending”. The last story arc changed so much and had Continue reading…

Tiger & Bunny – Episode 06
Tiger & Bunny – Episode 06 Finally! They’ve been dragging this out for some time but at last we have a main villain… I think.

Hanasaku Iroha – Episode 06
Hanasaku Iroha – Episode 06 Starting off I have to say that since it’s taken me a while to write this impression it has helped me put the episode in perspective. But before moving on to what I think of it I’ll give you a quick glimpse of what’s going on this time around. This Continue reading…
Bunny Drop – Preview
Meet Daikichi. He’s a fairly average 30-something bachelor with a steady job and an all-around decent lifestyle. Which is, come to think of it, actually pretty rare in anime. This all changes with the death of his grandfather, followed by the revelation that he had another child the rest of the family knew nothing about. Continue reading…
Rosario+Vampire II Chapter 41
One of the biggest problems of any harem series is how, exactly, you end it. Being good at closing subplots sort of runs counter to the spirit of the genre, I suppose. At best, you get characters lining up to say “I want you to be happy!” At worst you get the words “And Nothing Continue reading…
