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. I would […]

Mr. Konaka has consistently proven himself to be among the most challenging, innovative, and important anime writers in the last 25 years. 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.
