3 Episode Taste Test: Strike Witches 2

26Jul20102000

Where have all the young men gone? Sure there are the mil­it­ary men, barely old enough to hold a mean­ing­ful rank, but the Strike Witches 2 uni­verse is entirely bereft of any young boys. Per­haps ages six through six­teen are spent in secret train­ing to reduce the num­ber of assaults due to […]

3 Episode Taste Test: High School of the Dead

There’s def­in­itely a space between “High” and “School” so why High School of the Dead dropped it for the canon­ical abbre­vi­ation H.O.T.D. is unknown but this is just one of many oddit­ies the first three epis­odes of the zombies-invade-Japan series con­tains. It plun­ders recent genre movies with gay aban­don but still feels […]

It’s easier to think of Strike Witches more as unful­filling por­no­graphy than a more tra­di­tional, coher­ent series; all the hall­marks are present: copi­ous nud­ity, low cam­era angles, paper-thin plot, a cast reduced to cari­ca­tures, fake les­bi­an­ism and innu­mer­able fet­ishes. It makes it more enjoy­able to watch with this in mind […]

3 Episode Taste Test: Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou (The Demon King in the Back Row)

Harry Pot­ter can’t be entirely to blame for the con­tinu­ing cre­ation of series based upon a school for adoles­cent magi­cians, but Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou bor­rows a lot more from the ubi­quit­ous boy wiz­ard than can be eas­ily over­looked. Thank­fully the pil­fer­ing doesn’t last bey­ond the open­ing ten minutes, from there the […]
