Split-screen in Anime Part 1
07/09/2015I figured there’s going to be a point where I will want to talk about split-screen in anime again, so I’m using the ‘part’ in the names so that I can do another episode like this if I felt like it. Here is the “what” use of split-screen I was referring to in GATE. Like, […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 10: Jessica’s Battle
05/09/2015In this episode I mumble through the episode where Yang returns to Thernusen, the place where his old military academy was, and he encounters Jessica Edwards and struggles with survivors guilt, especially when thinking through his relationship with Jessica and his best friend Jean Robert Lap. There’s also a Char’s Counterattack-esque moment in here that […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 9: The Klopstock Incident
17/07/2015This episode was awesome, got to see some more action in the Kaiser’s court from a man who opposed it and was ostracized and got to see some interesting background information on the Kaiser. There was also some hilarious looking laptops. No one likes the prince. Right click, save as to download. OP&ED Theme: 3DS […]

Wandering Son Vol 1 Review
16/07/2015Given the recent wave of news and attention I figured that people should probably know about this manga. The property got kind of famous among, I guess you could say, a fringe group of Noitamina fans years ago and I plan on doing a proper review of the anime, but since I have it, I […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 6: The Rosen Ritter
23/05/2015This episode (of the anime) is pretty funny, I was giggling throughout a lot of it given the seriousness of the music and the laid-back attitude that Yang Wen-li had in the face of a suicide mission. I also noticed there’s a strange mechanical sound at the beginning of the episode, that’s my refrigerator, I […]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes Episode 3: Birth of the 13th Fleet
24/04/2015Here’s another installment in our episode-to-episode coverage of the SF anime classic, Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I really do like how small both Jessica Edwards and Secretary of Defense Truniht are, the enormous stage adds to that overwhelming sense of producing, via imaginative and physical labor, the monolithic idea of the nation-state with no […]

16 September 2014: To Terra
16/09/2014Today, I review the 1980 film, Toward the Terra. A film that was pretty disappointing because it turns out that you kind of need more than love for a revolutionary struggle. Right click, save as to download.
