With a premise remin­is­cent of My-Otome and cham­pi­on­ing the cur­rent trend of snotty faux-aristocrats, Ladies versus But­lers starts as it intends to con­tinue: copi­ous, point­less fanser­vice. The frantic first epis­ode is chase across pala­tial school grounds which sees girls of an acutely fair dis­pos­i­tion faint at the very sight of a teenage […]

The first sea­son of Queen’s Blade was under­whelm­ing, bey­ond the ini­tial devi­ance on dis­play it went only slightly fur­ther than many of the other fighting-fanservice genre shows and exploited none of the oppor­tun­it­ies a guar­an­teed late night, paid chan­nel slot offers. Sea­son two does noth­ing to change this status quo and, if […]

Cast­ing Aya Hir­ano as the lead char­ac­ter is not the worst thing that Fairy Tail does, but it comes close. Her voice is so iden­ti­fi­able and her status so con­found­ingly over­whelm­ing that it over­shad­ows many of the other more accom­plished act­ors such as Rie Kugim­iya (Alphonse from Full­metal Alchem­ist) and Tet­suya Kakihara […]

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 […]
