3 Episode Taste Test: Sora no Otoshimono (Heaven’s Lost Property)

08Nov20092153

Around the end­ing cred­its of the second epis­ode one real­ises that they’ve just watched a flock of women’s under­wear take flight, some with mock jet-streams behind them. That the key ele­ment of Sora no Otoshimono’s story  —  a busty, docile angel that fell from a hole in the sky  —  is the most tame concept of the series demonstrates […]

3 Episode Taste Test: Seiken no Blacksmith (The Sacred Blacksmith)

Seiken no Black­smith is about as close to sword porn as anime is likely to get  —  gra­tu­it­ous close-ups of everything from katanas to two-handed broadswords, even a sword that turns into a scantily clothed female  —  there is no doubt that someone on the pro­duc­tion team has a bor­der­line fet­ish for the weapons. It is […]

3 Episode Taste Test: Kiddy Girl-and

03Nov20091402

Not­able only inso­far that it was dir­ec­ted by Keiji Gotoh who also […]

3 Episode Taste Test: Yoku wakaru gendai mahou (Properly learned modern magic)

06Sep20091235

There are many good panty epis­odes in anime: epis­ode four of Mai-HiME springs to mind as one, epis­ode three of Yoku wakaru gendai mahou is not. Whereas the former had comic tim­ing well bey­ond what one would have expec­ted its stu­dio to be able to pro­duce, the lat­ter is taw­dry, bor­ing  tripe […]

3 Episode Taste Test: Princess Lover

24Aug20092132

Or to give its full, punc­tu­ated title: Prin­cess Lover! The premise  —  once again  —  is to cram as many lithe, buxom females into as con­fined a space as pos­sible and provide an empty husk of a male prot­ag­on­ist to cata­lyse their fre­quently out­land­ish but never overtly raunchy inter­ac­tions. In short: fan-service romance com­edy. The anime […]
