First Impressions: Dragonaut the Resonance 01 and Moyashimon 01

Alex Papillon (October 21, 2007)   3 Comments

Dragonaut
This is actually so typically GONZO, at least in reference to Witchblade. It’s got the chicks with huge breasts spilling out of their costumes, at least one female scientist and what looks a lot of fighting with no semblance of logic or reality (basically some kind of power that comes from resonating with dragons?). […]

First Impressions: Suteki Tantei Labyrinth 01

Alex Papillon (October 21, 2007)   No Comments

This is one of those episodes where the action starts right away and they back track in order to explain what happens before it, but from all view points of the characters so the audience is omniscient. Although, this is by no means original - it shows at least they tried doing something different. […]

First Impressions: Night Wizard - The Animation 01

*sigh*
Intro: I’m doing this as I watch it so I won’t forget any details. As soon as I saw the girl sitting in her high chair drinking tea, the legions of people and the guy in a school outfit I wasn’t impressed. I was thinking “this HAS to be a parody…right?”, and then […]

First Impressions: Rental Magica 01

Alex Papillon (October 18, 2007)   1 person had his say

Between studying for midterms (reason for the lack of pictures but next time, I promise) and stuffing my face with cake, I decided to watch this one first out of the few I plan to watch for this fall 2007 season. The elements of this show bring to mind: Ghost Hunt, Chrno Crusade and […]

Cosplayer Spotlight Interview - Adella

Alex Papillon (August 30, 2007)   4 Comments

A while ago, I’d say about six years - I decided to look up cosplaying. Stumbling upon cosplay.com, I decided to search for “Aeris” since I knew it was one of the most popular characters and I wanted to find someone who could look like her (out of curiosity). I wasn’t expecting much, […]

Le Chevalier D’Eon - Zombies in French History

Alex Papillon (August 23, 2007)   2 Comments

The 24 episode series Le Chevalier D’Eon is somewhat based on the real life activities of French spy D’Eon Beaumont who served under Louis XV. Although, the anime itself is directly based on the manga by Tow Ukabata and is produced by Production I.G. The show includes elements of fantasy in that zombie-like […]

Haruhi Fujioka - Def’n: mind-numbing, boring

Alex Papillon (August 19, 2007)   15 Comments

In case you’re a bit sluggish or just haven’t come in contact with it, Haruhi Fujioka is the heroine (used loosely) of Ouran Highschool Host Club. I’m referring to the anime version here, because I haven’t read the manga. I’m not patient enough anymore to read most manga, alas. Ouran, is by […]

Muteki Kanban Musume

Alex Papillon (August 8, 2007)   2 Comments

Also known as “Noodle Fighter Miki”, which is pretty much what this show is about. Noodles and fighting - all revolving around Miki. Miki Onimaru is a girl who works in a chinese noodle shop and it seems as if she’s having a bit of a hard time…
There’s really no plot […]
