This is how far I've lowered the bar. From anime, to ecchi, to hentai. But I'm not lowering it so far that I'm willing to excuse shitty animation. Anyone whose walked along the dark perverse trail of Japanese animation and have witnessed the abomination of a studio called Queen Bee knows what I'm talking about. … Continue reading Frustrations with Anime/Ecchi/Hentai Romance Stories

Angel Cop (1994) anime OVA, thoughts
Rated: 3.5 / 5 or 3 / 5, depending on the version. Sometimes you start to realize that you underestimated just how based 80s and 90s anime can actually be. Sure, us English-speakers who were well-acquainted with it back in the day, and by "well-acquainted" that includes stuff that could only be viewed on VHS … Continue reading Angel Cop (1994) anime OVA, thoughts
Akagi (2005), Shin Janki (1998), and Mahjong game thoughts.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ah9LigUV40 Having played my fair share of mahjong, and having seen the shows Saki, Akagi (short for Touhai Densetsu Akagi: Yami ni Maiorita Tensai), and the more obscure Shin Janki (the first of 19 films anyway), I can safely say that the anime show Saki is complete horseshit. How it gives the impression that there's … Continue reading Akagi (2005), Shin Janki (1998), and Mahjong game thoughts.
Thoughts on board game anime, and Elfen Lied
Hikaru No Go (2001-2003) Rated: 3.5 / 5 Touya... let's play. We can't start until we play. I naturally learned about this show when I learned about Go and how to play it. Wasn't entirely sure what to expect from an anime about a board game. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised, though I'm … Continue reading Thoughts on board game anime, and Elfen Lied
Down the Harem Bunny Hole
There are times when I tire of watching films and shows that are built up to be intellectually stimulating (ie thought-provoking and capable of making one a better critical thinker, and ultimately become more wise), when they end up being anti-intellectual, ethically damaging, doing anything but promoting good values, and teach anything but good lessons. Naturally, … Continue reading Down the Harem Bunny Hole
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006) half-assed series review, and anime clichés I hate
Rated: 1.5 / 5* * = rating after watching the first 15 1/2 episodes, and I'm not going farther than that. The thing about giving bad ratings like this, it's going to give the wrong initial impression about this show. The show starts out great. High school setting with mecha anarchist uprisings, rebelling against the government and … Continue reading Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (2006) half-assed series review, and anime clichés I hate
Rant on insults and death-wishes; plus thoughts on Oh! / Ah! My Goddess!
Introduction that you can skip if you just want the anime review. So I've received some interesting responses to a few prior blog posts I made over the years. In particular, posts I made regarding the holocaust and pedophilia (if you want a taste of both, go play Barbarossa). The type of responses I do … Continue reading Rant on insults and death-wishes; plus thoughts on Oh! / Ah! My Goddess!

Sonic the Hedgehog (1996, 2020) dual film review
2020 movie rated: Fuck You / 5 Wokeness: 3 / 5 These types of films can suck my nuts. The same bullshit they pulled with Masters of the Universe, Super Mario Bros., the Smurfs, the Chipmunks, and Rocky & Bullwinkle, they now pull with this film. That whole fucking trend of taking a classic (for … Continue reading Sonic the Hedgehog (1996, 2020) dual film review
Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011) review
Full title is Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below. Rated: 3 / 5 There are times when I end up just watching some random anime out of the blue. If I had known this was going to be one of those CG animated flicks (that pretends to be hand-drawn, and actually does a … Continue reading Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011) review
