Let’s just say that without Morgiana Magi wouldn’t be on the list at all. In fact, without Morgiana Magi wouldn’t have been animated in the first place. Just like the article illustration indicates. There’s really very little else to know about Magi.

A strange list anyway, like usual.

I have made a habit of forcing myself to watch the KyoAni show of the season for a tradition’s sake if not for anything else, even when the theme and setting of the show didn’t particularly interest me, but now with this show there will be a gap a season long. But the only thing [...]

Railgun certainly should serve Type B well enough. Besides, lots of Type A shows have moe character designs these days. You lose nothing by making characters cute’n'cool even if you have a solid story as well. I like well written stories that keep surprising me, but add cute characters to that and it’s perfect.

Although I’m not usually a homicidal maniac, I wanted to kill somebody after watching Oreimo 2′s first episode. Fortunately Kirino is fictional, so I can’t kill her and become a murderer. Railgun S is my most anticipated show (because I’m a Mikoto fan), closely followed by Shingeki no Kyojin. I’m also looking forward to more [...]

I’m pleased to see Sayori there. She draws so insanely cute pics.

They also lost the war, ended up losing ancestral land, got their capital fire bombed to ashes, and got nuked twice to boot. And as if that wasn’t enough, their constitution has ever since enforced censoring of porn. Their neighbours seem to forget Japan already got punished so severely that only the USSR occupied Eastern [...]

I need to replace the saddle of the my trusty bicycle, and this certainly encourages me not to try to save euros by getting some cheap made in China saddle.

I’d say Motoko looks considerably more moe compared to the old, but the rest certainly don’t.

Indeed! It was all about the bread. Tony should design some breads for a major bakery on the side.

They might have just got too big. Unlike other branches of mafia in Japan, the police needs to at least keep up some sort of appearances. As long as the dubious enterprises under their protection (in exchange for money) stay small, it won’t attract too much public attention. But if it gets huge, there’s no [...]

I have to say I can’t recall a single incident reported by Sankaku that otaku would have been scandalised a male voice actor isn’t supposedly a virgin anymore.

Yeah, it’s the mecca of mass production. It’s very fitting for the modern China. Their rich history is burning in the fires of industrialization.

It felt no such thing. I guess you would have wanted Kotoura to go all Sasuke and kill everybody that ever insulted her. But she’s a good girl, even after everything that happened. That’s the point. If the art strenghtens that, all the better.

Since they had to hire 165 of them, the total cost should be high even if they were stingy.

That’s quite strange. Black Lagoon has even been published in my home country, which boasts an exceedingly tiny history of manga translations. A list I found mentions about 60 titles in total, so even if it’s missing a few, it tells enough of the situation. What I’m trying to say is that if Black Lagoon [...]

That’s an exaggeration, but it was a fine first episode. If the rest of the show keeps up the fun and comedy, this will be one of the top anime of the season.

As a PC-only gamer I hope this current generation of consoles will be put to rest very soon and both new Xbox and PS rolled out. Simply because many games are made for both PC and consoles, and the fact the consoles are so bloody outdated has been showing in the PC versions of the [...]

Like somebody commented, it could be the kid was hugging air or some balloon, and a photoshopper did the rest. But of course one can always imagine all manner of possibilities.

They wouldn’t arrest their own colleagues. The Japanese police is just one branch of the yakuza.

I don’t know about you, but when Kirito is charging at the enemy screaming like a madman, I burst out laughing. Every time. But then again, doesn’t that mean the show is literally entertaining? I doubt that’s how the authors meant it to happen, but that’s the reality.
