06.15.2009 - Spring 2009 shows…Posted in Anime by Epi at 1:18 am![]() Spring 2009 began as one of the worst seasons I could remember. Compared to the 8 shows I was following last season, this season is slim pickings. Still, there are a few shows worth mentioning: 1) Eden of the East 2) Tears to Tiara 3) Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (Remake) 4) Asura Cryin 5) Saki 6) Shangri-la | ||

04.6.2009 - K-ON! First impressionsPosted in Anime, K-ON! by Epi at 11:15 pm![]()
I can’t believe how many groups are subbing this show. Either way I thought I might as well write about the most talked about show of the Spring 2009 season. | ||
03.25.2009 - As we near the end of Gundam 00…Posted in Anime, Gundam 00 by Epi at 10:58 pm![]()
So we’ve finally reached the end of the show. It’s been a long ride, but I for one am thankful that at least Setsuna, Marina, Feldt and Lockon didn’t go shopping 4 episodes before the last episode. The leadup to this finale has been pretty predictable. I think most people were thinking that ever since the 00 was introduced with it’s double ring mind-reading power that this power would be further magnified to ‘make everyone understand eachother’ in the end. Whether or not Marina’s song has a role in this (as many including myself have long suspected) in the last episode remains to be seen. Meanwhile like the last two SEED shows, while this did end with some kind of giant satellite cannon, at least the ‘true purpose’ of the entire complex was quite different. In fact, after a season of basically ignoring him, Aeolia has returned in full force at the end of the series. I’m actually quite interested in the possibility that this series may actually branch off away from Earth. If there is time after the ‘final battle’ between Ribbons and Setsuna (hopefully with a bit of Graham Acre thrown in for good measure) it would be great to have some sort of introduction to some outer space exploration program. I don’t care if aliens are actually found or not, but it would be fun to have some sort of timeslip years in the future where Gundam now encompasses the entire solar system and maybe even surrounding areas vs. just Earth. I also wouldn’t mind a Stargazer like OVA as much as that OVA was derided by many, I quite enjoyed it. Either way, the final episode will hopefully wrap things up nicely for all of us. Given how much of a joke SEED Destiny was at the end, it’s refreshing to see that this show, while formulaic has at least managed to stay interesting until the end. P.S. Ali was totally cheated by losing power to his suit. He was also way out of character to just be running away, instead of guns drawn and ready to ambush Neil when he went through that shaft. |
