Posted on November 11, 2009 by bateszi

Writing this now is probably a bit old hat, but I finally got around to watching Sword of the Stranger at the weekend! Why the delay? I’ve developed a strained relationship with anime movies; having become so used to watching … Continue reading →

Turn off your mind, unwind and see how high the cloudy sky. Xam’d, naturally.

Posted on August 8, 2008 by bateszi

Should I say Xam’d: Lost Memories is good? It’s better than good, and I know it’s not enough to say just that, but I have to be careful. Because I’m about ready to explode. Yes, there’s too much to say. … Continue reading →

I’m one of his twenty faces too

Posted on June 15, 2008 by bateszi

When its first episode finished, I suspect a lot of people probably dropped their interest in The Daughter of Twenty Faces (a.k.a Nijuu Mensou no Musume) right there and then. Going off of first impressions, it’s not flashy at all. … Continue reading →

Past, present and future

Posted on March 12, 2007 by bateszi

To quote rubbish rockers Staind, it’s been a while. Of course I haven’t stopped watching anime, I just don’t have much to say. I could write boring episode reviews, but you know, that’s boring! More than anything I seem to … Continue reading →

Jyu-Oh-Sei – 7 to 9 – Blinded from the truth

Posted on June 17, 2006 by bateszi

It’s taken a while, but I’m finally starting to twig that Jyu-Oh-Sei has an absolutely stellar voice cast. Young Thor was played by Minami Takayama, whose best work comes in the form of the insane, eccentric Dilandau of Escaflowne. Thor’s … Continue reading →

Posted on May 23, 2006 by bateszi

To my frank and utter bemusement, we are now over half way through the 11 episodes of Jyu-Oh-Sei and although a part of me is glad to see every episode crammed full with so much story and character development, I … Continue reading →

Jyu-Oh-Sei – 3 through 4 – Nature bites back

Posted on May 12, 2006 by bateszi

Again I get my hit of Jyu-Oh-Sei in double dosage, and again I’m left feeling completely intoxicated by it. It’s the story that I love; so thick with detail, almost every scene contributes something new or shocking, continuously building on … Continue reading →

Posted on May 1, 2006 by bateszi

Of all the new anime debuting this season, the one I was most anticipating was always Jyu-Oh-Sei. I’m basically a massive fan of Studio BONES, and despite a few less than stellar exceptions (Ouran, Kenran); I’m worryingly in love everything … Continue reading →
