Slayers Revolution Episode 3 Review

July 17th, 2008 Slayers Revolution by Clave

So here is a brief synopsis for anyone from a younger generation of anime viewers who may not know what Slayers is. Lina basically defeats Rezo the Red Priest, and the magic beast, Chaos Dragon Gaav and Hellmaster Phibrizzo. Oh, and don’t forget Dark Star. Basically at the end of the third series, Slayers Try, Gourry lost his Sword of Light when he returned it to the Otherworlder after they defeated Dark Star. Seriously, the last 5 episodes of them fighting Dark Star is what hooked me into Slayers and anime in the first place.

Allison and Lillia Episode 13 Half Season Review

July 15th, 2008 Allison and Lillia by Clave

I’ve been following Allison and Lillia though I haven’t reviewed it. The story is so overwhelmingly mellow that I found it difficult to work up a great deal of either enthusiasm or hate for the series.

Itazura na Kiss Episode 14 Review

July 15th, 2008 Itazura na Kiss by Clave

I was waiting for this episode before continuing my reviews for Itazura na Kiss. I was getting tired of regurgitating all the usual love drama junk that happens before the moment everyone is waiting for. This anime also tends to be rather difficult to find decent screenshots for…it just isn’t that kind of show.

Code Geass R2 Episode 14 Review

July 13th, 2008 Code Geass R2 by Clave

Code Geass R2 is like the girl you started dating when she was hot, and then gained twenty pounds once you entered the “serious relationship” phase. Code Geass R2 episode 14 killed the series for me in so many different ways that I’m left wondering if next week will provide us with some ghoulish continuum of the series.

Code Geass R2 Episode 13 Review

July 07th, 2008 Code Geass R2 by Clave

Well, Code Geass R2 episode 13 certainly didn’t turn out the way anyone thought it would. Nice wrap up for that little scene though. Clean and efficient. Sad, let’s not forget sad. Need to get flowers for the funeral.

Slayers Revolution Episode 1 Review

July 05th, 2008 Slayers Revolution by Clave

I am an old old Slayers fan, as anyone who has been watching anime for over a dozen years might be. The Slayers franchise is not particularly spectacular per se, but I believe for many it is a fond return to their childhood. Slayers Revolution is the continuing fourth season that was rumored well over ten years ago and Slayers fans everywhere are rejoicing.

Vampire Knight Episode 13 Review

July 01st, 2008 Vampire Knight by Clave

Final episode of the first season of the Vampire Knight anime is out, and honestly this series left something to be desired. It started out slightly above what you would expect but quickly degenerated into the typical love triangle drama crap. Vampire Knight episode 13 only hints at the real story, with Shizuka being nothing more than a camel hump.

Code Geass R2 Episode 12 Review

June 29th, 2008 Code Geass R2 by Clave

I never really thought about it this way, but if Lelouch were not so hell bent on destroying Britannia he could be getting a shitload of pussy with the Geass. Hell, even without the Geass, he could get all the action he wanted. Code Geass R2 episode 12 was a large assortment of gags with just enough story progression thrown in to make you antsy. And btw, has anyone noticed that only complete flunkies for characters stay dead in this anime?
