The story begins with the people of Tokyo, Japan, including Usagi Tsukino and her friends, all watching for a particular event that is set to occur that very day; this event is an eclipse, where the Sun is completely enveloped by the Moon […]
Yeah, I know. That’s what you guys think whenever you see a moe anime, right? Jokes and sarcasm aside, I can relate where you’re coming from if you’re one of those people. There are many prejudices and hypocrisies floating around about moe, even among some veteran anime fans. And I can’t defend 100% of them. But I can at least […]
There are two things you should know about “Flavors of Youth”: 1. It’s a great anime. 2. You probably won’t think it’s a great anime. “Flavors of Youth” strikes me as an inaccessible anime – particularly to western audiences – and not just because of its meandering, introspective nature that would put a lot of people to sleep.

While most people would choose Serial Experiments Lain as his magnum opus, Texhnolyze is actually my favourite Konaka work I’ve seen so […]
Citrus is a yuri romance manga that started in late 2012 and just recently ended. Although it looks like a second manga called Citrus Plus is planned. I don’t know if it’s going to follow the same characters nor have I read the manga. Early this year the studio Passione, also behind Rokka no Yuusha, aired a twelve episode adaptation to cover the first […]
Elfen Lied is an anime I’ve heard talked about by multiple people and the vast majority of it has been exceedingly negative. Terms like “worst anime ever made”, “trash” & “containing nothing of value” have all been thrown around. The series is based off of a manga written by Okamoto Lynn and was handled by Arms.
