Texhnolyze: Chiaki Konaka’s hidden masterpiece

Chiaki Konaka is a very celebrated writer in the world of anime and for good reason. 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 – Series Review

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 – Series Review

Elfen Lied is an anime I’ve heard talked about by multiple people and the vast majority of it has been exceedingly negative.

El Cazador de la Bruja – Series Review

I once reviewed an anime called Noir, a really well-done series from Bee Train. At that time, I also briefly mentioned that it has two spiritual successors. The latter one ran in ’07. Six years after Noir. This is El Cazador de la Bruja, written by Kanemaki Kenichi. Does it live up to its predecessor? Story: Nadie is a bounty hunter […]

The Abject Failure of 4Kids Entertainment

You might say 4Kids is an easy target to talk about. You might also point out that they’ve filed for bankruptcy at least twice and is it really the best idea to kick a company while it’s down, especially when it’s such an easy target? Honestly, they’ve had the piss taken out of them by everyone and their eighty-year-old great […]
