Anime Mirai: Arve Rezzle and Little Witch Academia

As a follow up to my reviews of the previous 2 years of Young Animator Training Projects, here’s my reviews of 2 of the newly branded Anime Mirai pieces.

Spring 2013 Anime Season Preview

This is the 19th season preview listed on this website’s archives. 20 if I feel like counting the one I did for summer 2008 back on an old livejournal blog where I only covered about 3 upcoming anime and I predicted that Nogizaka Haruka’s Secret would be the next Haruhi Suzumiya. So I’ve been getting [...]

Sasami-san@Ganbaranai episode 1 – Chocolate Apocalypse Nonsense

A quick recap of Akiyuki Shinbo’s career up until now by the totally unreliable Scamp. He started as an animator on Urusei Yatsura, because everybody from that era worked on something by Rumiko Takahashi. He then moved about a bit from JC Staff to Tatsunoko to wherever the hell he could get work as a director, including directing [...]

Sword Art Online Episode 18: Flying on Immobile Wings and a Prayer

I cannot even begin to explain just how much trouble I had absorbing the information in this week’s episode. It’s not that it was particularly deep or even obtuse.

WHO IS IMOUTO episode 3 – We Are Imouto

Emerging from my pile of papers, like the chief editor of the Daily Days in Baccano, I analysed this latest piece of evidence. I needed to find the answer. This question that burned inside me harder than Shougo’s penis after eating a baked soft-shelled turtle loaded with garlic, eel and scorpion double virility seasoning, and [...]

WHO IS IMOUTO episode 1 – The burning question of our time (Scamp’s take)

What’s your pathetic excuse for not watching this anime? Some feeble fobbing off, declaring it to be crappy incest trash wish fulfilment? That the main character is a complete potato-kun of no personality and the girls are just a parade of moeblobs? That you are sick of trashy light novel adaptations with ridiculously long titles [...]

Summer 2012 Anime Season Preview

Welcome to The Cart Driver’s World Famous Anime Season Preview, summer 2012 edition. And since it’s a summer edition, cue thousands of people saying the season looks crap while totally forgetting that summer seasons are always low on quality. If you can find more than 3 anime that interest you, than you’ve done well. Besides, [...]
