Play­ing fast and loose with fairy tales, Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamata­chi is a sur­pris­ing com­edy that straddles the line between famil­iar and fresh, whim­sic­ally mash­ing up ele­ments pluck from its con­tem­por­ar­ies. Cer­tainly the protagonist’s hair col­our and demean­our could have been lif­ted whole­sale from Tor­adora, her pugil­istic atti­tude and devi­ant sidekick […]

Amagami SS parades hol­low, vacu­ous sim­pletons around in a grot­esque approx­im­a­tion of a romance plot; cret­ins drawn with all the grace of a gor­illa with a crayon shoved up its nose, splattered whole­sale into a story that is as if the plot of a romance novel were faxed to the writers but […]

Takashi Watanabe obvi­ously woke up one morn­ing, head still groggy from a night of drink, drugs and debauch­ery, one hand clutch­ing a nap­kin with a list scrawled on it  —  ninjas, cyborgs, magic, gods, dragons, breasts  —  and in the other a pro­duc­tion con­tract, slop­pily signed by him­self. There is no way else a series as […]

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 […]

On the face of it, B Gata H Kei has a throughly lam­ent­able premise, one sure to invoke a slow shak­ing of the head, per­haps only piquing one’s interest to under­stand if it is really as miso­gyn­istic as it sounds. It isn’t, but still squirms awk­wardly around the core premise of a […]
