In my first full review in nearly a year, I look at another film from director Keiichi Hara. Miss Hokusai is no Shin-chan, but she might be just as brash.
Woodblock Print by Numbers : A Miss Hokusai Film Review
You Remind me of the Babe – A Croisée in a Foreign Labyrinth Review
Today I review a series about a young Japanese girl going to work in 19th century France. So maybe it’s not that kind of labyrinth, but Paris can be a strange and confusing place if you’re used taking baths and having miso soup for breakfast.
I don’t understand you and your people, but I can feel your sincerity
How “I” Learned to See Color – A Colorful (movie) Review
According to several religious traditions, reincarnation isn’t so much about what you want, but what you deserve. It might be tempting to curse your lot in life but ensuring a better tomorrow depends entirely on how you live today.
Fishing for Requited Love – A Lull in the Sea Review
This year has seen a lot of change. I started this blog and met a bunch of amazing people, but outside of my personal bubble the world has seen some pretty drastic shifts. At least we don’t have to deal with salt flakes falling from the sky.
I don’t want to see any more things that’ve changed! It’s exhausting!
Band Practice for the End of the World – A Sound of the Sky Review
Today I look at a series where a girl who wants to learn the trumpet joins an army where she and other young women can can operate futuristic super tanks in a real war instead of just a popular school elective. Because, why not? Anime has done stranger things.
A Rare Touch of Realism in Anime – An Usagi Drop Review
As I get older I sometimes think about adding a new member to our little Super Otaku Busters club. Seeing shows and movies about how terrible children are usually delays my longing for a bit, but every once in a while a series comes along that makes me wish I had a little otaku of my own to teach.
Improbable Friends, Impulsive Dreams, and Trust in Panties – The Pet Girl of Sakaurasou Review
Today I review a series that explores the age old battle of hard work vs. talent. No, I’m not talking about Rock Lee and Neji from Naruto. The competitive world of Arts majors is much more dramatic and unpredictable than your shounen anime. Believe it!
Save Your Friend’s Life for the Cost of Postage – An Orange (Anime) Review
We’ve all wanted to correct a mistake from our pasts, but how many of us are so keenly aware of the exact moment we could have saved someone’s life? The best I can do is wish I had picked up a copy of FMA: Brotherhood before the license ran out!
The Art of Tiger Training or How to Become a Dragon – A Toradora! Review
Remember that time in high school when you met that person you really couldn’t stand, but you liked her best friend and she liked yours? No? Well pretend you do because I can’t say this anime portrays the situation realistically if you don’t.
On Waking Up with Lady Parts – A Kokoro Connect Review
It seems like I got a supernatural themed series reviewed for Halloween after all. Though you can hardly call this one a horror, if I suddenly found myself in someone else’s body, I would have anxiety over what was happening to mine!
