Anime Review: Yuru Yuri 2 - 4
It’s very seldom that I look forward to the first thirty seconds of an anime, but Yuru Yuri is just special like that.

After the emotional turbulence in last week’s episode, we return to the vignette style that I favor so much. We get to see the girls in isolated groups and actually spend more time with the student council than we do the other girls....

Episode Two
I have pretty mixed feelings about this week’s episode, so I’m going to start out with the good and end with the bad. The scope of this season is so much larger and the stakes are so much higher that I find myself much more invested in what’s going on. Instead of...

The time of preparation is over and all the set pieces are in place. Tsuna stands confidently with his guardians and confronts the enemy. For many longtime fans of Reborn, this chapter as a whole had to be one to pump us up to the highest echelon.
Tsuna’s grand plan is revealed. And what a grand plan it is! Enemies they were...

You tell her, Sawa. It’s not a good time to be fangirling.

Oh, so they can speak Japanese after all. Of course, it’s only natural that everyone can speak Japanese so perfectly. I suppose it’s all justified since the three amigos knew Wakana’s mother, but it still grates me. I do wish, though, that they actually go out of their way to do more...

Game Review: Sonic CD
What’s blue, spiky, has an attitude and can time travel?

Sonic CD has one of the most memorable openings in any Sonic game to date. As a kid, I used to watch this intro over and over, totally digging the cheesy music. The story behind this is that Sonic was looking for this mystical floating planet that was only supposed to appear on a certain date. When he found it,...

With the new Gundam AGE-FX making its debut during the operation to recapture the Luna Base in the previous episode, Zeheart and the Vagan reaction to this latest mobile suit are the prime focus of this episode. Both Zeheart and Fram are at the forefront with the two getting most of the screen time during the first half....

Manga Review: Bleach - 501
Did you accurately guess the owner of the sword that appeared at the end of last chapter?[[MORE]]

Somehow, I feel as if we all overlooked the tactic that most manga writers use to maintain some element of surprise and suspense. On the final page of a pivotal chapter, the mangaka adds a new element to the story in the final panel, and ends on a cliffhanger. Then when the next...

Top 5: My Little Pony Songs
When you watch a children’s television show, it’s not usually for the musical numbers. I tend to find songs in kid’s shows campy and a bit demeaning (Dora, anyone?) but the songs in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic aren’t there to teach you about colors or numbers or where the map is. The characters are amazingly easy to relate to, the plot is surprisingly poignent,...

The episode jumped straight into action. With Ana serving as the focus point this time, it ought to have been no surprise that the puzzle would be of the artistic variety.
Herbert Muller revealed that his real goal was one of revenge. How would he achieve this? Simple, as one could expect, he would use characters who still had these...
