Occult Academy episode 8

Poor old Smile and JK. They were both big fans of Tokyo God­fath­ers. RIP Satoshi Kon. I’ve still not seen any of his movies. I have seen Para­noia Agent and Mag­netic Rose though, both of which are very good. Espe­cially Mag­netic Rose, highly recom­mend that if you feel in the mood to have your mind blown. I’ve also noticed that the first anime he worked on, Roujin Z, is one of the many assor­ted 80’s and early 90’s OVA’s that I down­loaded on a whim, so I guess that decides what I’m watch­ing next. Gotta wait until I get to Eng­land though to watch his movies. DVD rental ser­vices in Ire­land have a pretty miser­able selec­tion and sure as hell don’t have any Satoshi Kon movies.

Any­way, back to Occult Academy.

No anime is dropped forever 61–66

Artist

There is no such thing as drop­ping an anime forever. When I use the term ‘dropped’ that does not mean that’s the last I’ll see of that anime in my life. Drop­ping a show means that I don’t have the enthu­si­asm to watch this show cur­rently and at a later date I’ll return to that anime. This later date may be the time when I’m trapped on a desert island with noth­ing other than a dvd player and a ‘Lucky Star’ box­set, but I will one day return and give the anime another shot. With this in mind, com­bined with the fact that I’ve passed the 100 anime mark on my MAL account for anime I’ve dropped, I’ve decided that I’m going to take a look back at all those series I’ve dropped, recog­nise why I dropped them and eval­u­ate when I should give them another go.

Blogging Hellsing Ultimate episode 2

So this dude’s friend is a doc­tor but, like, does the cos­metic shit on the side, right? So then that same crazy fuck with the horn comes back but now he wants a Plexiglas plate for his skull. And the doc­tor fuck­ing does it! He makes a win­dow. You can see the fuck­ers brain and shit. The guy’s got a big mon­ster horn and his head­meat on dis­play. The guy’s a freak. Like, what the fuck!

Ah, so that’s where the pro­fan­ity laden dub had got­ten to. I just had to wait for the more volat­ile of the Valentine broth­ers to come waltz­ing in and his fas­cin­at­ing stor­ies about Plexiglas skulls.

Occult Academy episode 7

Maya’s one-piece, fig­ure hug­ging, zettai ryouki out­fit is one of the most annoy­ingly teas­ing out­fits you’ll ever see. Maybe it’s because I’ve become so used to High­school of the Dead shov­ing boobs and ass and naked apron, g-string wear­ing girls at us at every oppor­tun­ity that hav­ing a show with a hot girl and yet clev­erly not show­ing us the good at fre­quent inter­vals is much more frus­trat­ing than I ever thought it could be. Yet I find myself far more inter­ested in Maya than any of the HOTD women because of it. The old strip-tease man­tra of ‘it’s not what you show, it’s what you don’t show, is on full dis­play here. Or not, as the case is.

Oh, and JK is clearly an alien.

Finished with the 00’s

There is still a hand­ful of big names from the 00’s that I’ve yet to watch and will prob­ably enjoy. Wolf’s Rain has been sit­ting on my ‘plan to watch’ list since the dawn of time. Why I haven’t watched more of the Gun­dam fran­chise is a mys­tery because Gun­dam Seed looks right up my alley. Mononoke is Noit­am­ina and reeks of elit­ism, so you can count me in for that. Then there’s a few other series that are worth a shot, like Shak­ugan no Shana, Higur­ashi, Chrono Cru­sade and Gantz. How­ever the fact that I’m able to sim­plify it down to such a small num­ber shows how few big names I have left from the decade.

But never fear, for there’s a whole 3 dec­ades worth of anime out there!

Fall 2010 Chart v1

Fall_2010_Chart.jpg (2.0 MB)
Click for full size

Chart­f­ags Amaz­ing Charts are com­ing out slower every sea­son. Oth­ers have star­ted mak­ing charts, but a lot of them are crap, wrong, in Japan­ese or just plain trolls. The prob­lem is there isn’t a trust­worthy one per­son mak­ing these charts any­more. So instead of com­plain­ing about it, I decided I’d try make them myself. Now this is my first time so it’s hardly like I’m going to be the trust­worthy source yet, but I’ve got to start some­where. If any­one could point out any prob­lems or any sug­ges­tions for future charts then that would be much appre­ci­ated. I’ll get them fixed asap.

Right, about those not on the chart. All inform­a­tion on what’s com­ing up is taken from moonphase.cc and Anime News Net­work. There’s a whole bunch of anime that you might see on other charts that aren’t here. Dead­man Won­der­land isn’t air­ing this sea­son. Goulart Knights and Starry Sky were meant to air 2010 but they haven’t been con­firmed for the Autumn sea­son yet. See­ing as this is the last sea­son of the year, you’d think they’d have to air this sea­son but eh, I decided to er on the side of cau­tion. Same with Geass Gaiden. That hasn’t had a release date announced either, much to my dis­pleas­ure :(

::Edit:: I bet some people will start throw­ing up winter sea­son charts already. They will almost cer­tainly be made up. The only anime con­firmed for winter at the moment are Fractale, Gos­ick and Infin­ite Stra­tos. I think Wol­ver­ine and the second sea­son of Baka to Test are also air­ing, but that genu­inely is it at the moment.
