Ahh, love. I would have forgotten how fickle love can be if not for this episode of 3-gatsu. While episode 4 touches on a more enthusiastic and cheerful attitude for its presentation, there are still bits and pieces big enough for the self-insert me to chew on. I ask, what's the first thing that comes into …
Yuri!!! On Ice – Episode 4
To be honest, I've been quite disappointed with Yuri!!! on Ice over this past couple of episodes which is somewhat of a letdown given the positive opinion I had for its premier. To start off -- and I did mention this a little last week -- its redundant usage of the same cuts over and over again for its ice-skating …
Flip Flappers – Episode 4
Wow. That episode sure went fast. I'm glad that Flip Flapper's sense of adventure doesn't limit itself only within the Pure Illusion worlds. This episode was meant to be a breather, an opportune time for us to get to know the characters outside their millieu, yet even the laid-back and 'down to earth' moments still has …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 3
Not now, onion cutting ninjas. Not now.
Flip Flappers – Episode 3
I don't know, man. Flip Flappers is one of those rares shows that's better watched on one sitting than waiting on a weekly basis. Torture. I say torture. Honestly, I don't know where to begin. If you thought the first two episodes had a lot of stuff going on in it, wait until you watch this one. …
Yuri!!! On Ice – Episode 3
For the record, I'm writing this sober. I'm... no, you probably won't understand a word a drunk person would write. Though I'm pretty sure that even if I'm drunk or not, I could fairly say that Yuri!!! On Ice's third episode was one hot ride. I'll get this out as soon as now. For starters, I felt a bit ambivalent …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 2
You know, I kinda regret picking up 3-gatsu. It's not for the reason that the show is offensive or disappointing, it's just that I may have to peel open a couple of old wounds to get my point across with whatever I write. It sucks, but, hey, I totally appreciate shows that resonate with me on a more personal …
Flip Flappers – Episode 1-2
Flip Flap. Flip Flap. Flip Flap. Hear that? That's the sound of an anime knocking on this blog's door! Come in, Flip Flappers! Flip Flappers is one of the few that garnered mixed reception during its premier. One side of the spectrum claims experiencing a sense of wanderlust, excitement from the prospect of discovering unknown places and vistas. Another side …
Yuri!!! On Ice – Episode 2
First of all, just a heads up to you, folks, recently I've been busy with my work and will continue to be so until who knows when. I'm deliberating whether or not to continue the episodic format for my posts. Honestly, episodic is probably... one of the most difficult way to blog about anime in comparison to series …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 1
"See? There's no place for you in this world." "There's nothing." "You've gotten better." "You left so suddenly... Ayumu and Kyouko are worried about you." That's a lie. The previous remarks were all that was spoken before Rei Kiriyama (Kengo Kawashini), 17-year old professional shogi player, uttered his first line of speech capping the former …
