A thoughtful response to current anime.
I watched some anime! Here’s my thoughts: Fate/Zero 13: It was a cool episode, but come on. There’s no excuse for hyping the audience up for an epic confrontation against a Horror from the Deep and then saying, “oh, by the way, the show’s on hiatus now, look forward to spring”. This is the battle we’ve [...]
It’s final exam season, so my anime watching has slowed down a little – I’ll probably end up marathoning the rest of Penguindrum over winter break, rather than trying to follow it as it airs. One thing that I can’t slow down watching, though, is Ika Musume. Her cute and silly antics are exactly what [...]
Ika Musume is adorable, and her attempts to conquer the world are simple but enjoyable. Isn’t it about time we watched episode 8 of season 2 of Ika Musume? …thirty minutes pass…
Ika Musume is a squid who wants to conquer the world! Let’s enjoy some continuity free cute gag comedy in episode 7 of season two of Shinryaku! Ika Musume. …thirty minutes pass…
Ika Musume has had a weird airing schedule this season, it’s on one week, off the next, then on again, then off, maybe then on for a couple weeks straight. Just enough variation to keep me from finding a meaningful pattern. This makes it hard to remember to watch Ika Musume. It’s not that I [...]
I’ve been having computer trouble, which has kind of got me down, so I think it’s a good time to watch some Ika Musume to raise my spirits. Ika Musume is a sort of comfort food of anime – it might not have the exotic flavors of a Mirai Nikki or Mawaru Penguindrum, but it [...]
Last episode on Ika Musume, Ika Musume failed to conquer Japan. Keep at it, Ika Musume! We all believe in you! Let’s see if she can pull it off in episode 4 of season 2 of Shinryaku! Ika Musume. …thirty minutes pass…
I’ve sort of been putting off watching Ika Musume, school got busy for me and if I only have time to keep up with a subset of my shows it’s likely to be the shows with plot and continuity that get watched first. If I fall behind on watching, say, Fate/Zero, then everybody will be [...]
Shinryaku shinryaku shinryaku shinryaku shinryaku shinryaku ika musume (kyun)! I guess probably they will have a different OP for Ika Musume this time, if we’re lucky it’ll be a tenth as good. Just so everybody remembers, Ika Musume is the story of a squid-girl that came from the ocean to invade the land, but because [...]
I had like ten pages of discussion of the new season typed up, and then I accidentally closed my browser and somehow WordPress’s autosave didn’t manage to save any of the work I had spent hours on. So instead of a long effortpost, you get the executive summary of what’s hot in the new season [...]
