Ayakashi Ayashi is an excellent series. I just saw episode 13, which was a recap one, but introduced new characters and delved into the main cast’s background. There’s a new OP and ED. The former, Lone Star, is a step down from Ryuusei Miracle and is now a generic pop-punk-rock piece by Captain Straydum, more [...]

Short Synopsis: A girl who found a stray cat keeps getting harassed. Good: Beautifully paranoid. It really takes a while to understand what’s really going on. Bad: Absolutely none Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5 What a brilliant episode! After the past few episodes, I almost never expected this show to turn even better, but damn… it did it again. It [...]

Short Synopsis: It’s Christmas, and a local church gets pestered by a hide-and-seek-playing ghost. Good: Great to see a different side of Naru-chan and Lin. Kenji’s case is interesting. Bad: What can the creators do to make this arc special? Overall Enjoyment Value: 6/10 Ah, the beginning of the next case. This seems to be another small one. We [...]

Darkshaunz tries to DDR without tripping breaking an arm. It’s finally here, the Full Dance ED sequence to last year’s hyped Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Personally, we at Retsgip anime blog were entertained by the series, and we always did appreciate the cool dance they did at the end of each episode. Now that the full [...]

Bad: The toilet with teeth could have been better Overall Enjoyment Value: 7.5/10 Oh, my. That was very interesting. We have a Hone Onna episode this time. It seems that [...]

Tuxedo Mask? No, Phantom of the opera? Hmm, Vega? Rating: 9.0/10 Another beautiful episode of Pumpkin Scissors! This episode was able to balance suspense, action, and comedy without seeming too rushed or that they were trying too hard. I for one, was quite happy to see some new kinds of encounters this time and was [...]

I don’t know if this has become a common thing or not, but this is the first time I’ve seen anime mentioned in one of my school books… My cultural anthropology book(brilliantly titled Cultural Anthropology) has a good page and a half worth of info about anime in its “Anthropology and the Arts” chapter. Unfortunately we [...]

*image courtesy of Freelance-Manga* Volume 50, chapter 490 “Tenseiga no Himitsu”(Tenseiga’s Secret) Not much more happens in this chapter than in the last one; Sesshoumaru and Shinshiki exchange some blows, Inuyasha and co. arrive on the scene…the only thing really revealing that happened was towards the end, when we find out that apparently Tenseiga can also [...]

Just 3 screenshots ^^;;; too tired. As the last episode left me in such awe, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed by the new episode. 1)Mao…why did you go to the library in the first place if you hate being surrounded by many people? 2)Zero: "Why didn’t you finish your business?"
