June 2009

  • [27] ++++ Rurouni Kenshin – Season 3 (1-33 or 63-95) – Finished 24 Jun. Wow, finally finished, a solidly wandering 4 of 5 stars! Wallpapers and review at Blog 209 > Keion.
  • [--] +++++ Battle Angel Alita (“Angel’s Ascension”, Volume 9/9, 1995) – Finished 19 Jun. After years of delay, finally finished the entire 9-volume manga series! Shockingly violent yet heartfelt 5 of 5 stars! But since it’s a manga, didn’t “count” it in my list, lol. Wallpapers and review at Blog 207 > Angels.
  • [26] +++ Chaos;Head (1-12) – Finished 07 Jun. Ehh, not bad, 3 of 5 stars. Wallpapers and review at Blog 205 > Chaos Ahead.

March 2009

  • [11] +++++ Clannad – After Story – Season 2 (1-24, +2 Bonus) – Finished 28 Mar. Aww, wow, double-wow, triple-wow! Such an incredibly awe-inspiring, breath-taking, heart-breaking and soul-warming ride, followed by a cute yet fateful flashback bonus-story, and concluded with a still-gripping recap finale! An ever-resounding 5 of 5 stars! My #1 anime of the year thus far! Wallpapers and review at Blog 195 > Pop Anime.
  • [--] +++++ Genshiken (Volume 9/9, 2007) – Finished 27 Mar. Oops, finally realized that I hadn’t finished Volume 9 since December 2007! Thus, more than a year later, restarted it on 10 Mar and finished it 27 Mar. Still an engrossing 5 of 5 stars! But since it’s a manga, didn’t “count” it in my list, lol.
  • [10] ++++ Mobile Suit Gundam (25-43 of 43) – Finished 24 Mar. Yup, finished the second half! Wow, the story still holds up after 30 years, 4 of 5 stars! On 25 Mar, unexpectedly watched episode 43/43 again (the English-subbed finale), thinking that episode 43/43 would be the finale. Apparently, I’d already watched the finale yesterday! According to Wiki, the English-dubbed release didn’t include the original 15th episode! So what I thought was the 15th was actually the 16th original episode. The 16th was actually the 17th. And so on, until what I thought was the 42nd was actually the 43rd and final episode! But I’m too lazy to renumber everything in my previous posts. Oh well, lol. Still 4 of 5 stars! Wallpapers and review at Blog 197 > Tsubasa.
  • [--] +++++ Star Wars – The Clone Wars – Season 1 (1-22) – Finished 21 Mar. Splendid 5 of 5 stars! But since it’s not quite anime, didn’t “count” it in my list, lol. Screencaps and review at Blog 194 > Assassins.
  • [09] +++ Sol Bianca – Legacy (1-6) – Finished 07 Mar (via Netflix). While the first 3 episodes sucked, the next 3 really improved in drama. Not bad, 3 of 5 stars. Screencaps and review at Blog 192 > Slingers.
  • [08] +++ Gunslinger Girl – Il Teatrino – Season 2 (1-13) – Finished 04 Mar. Entertaining but ultimately not-as-satisfying as the original season, 3 of 5 stars. Wallpapers and review at Blog 192 > Slingers.

My 56 Anime in 2008

December 2008

  • [56] +++ Zero no Tsukaima – S3 (1-12) – Finished 12/28. Not bad, 3 of 5 stars.
  • [55] ++++ Minami-ke Okawari (1-13) – Finished 12/26. Aww, despite the change in animation, still a touching offbeat comedy, 4 of 5 stars!
  • [54] +++ Shining Tears x Wind (1-13) – Finished 12/18. Ehh, not the greatest series, but still a watchably amusing, 3 of 5 stars. Couldn’t escape that climactic yaoi moment, lol. Plus yet another title or character (the 6th I’ve seen in the past couple years) named Zero! This name is getting tiresome, lol.
  • [53] ++++ Naruto – S3 (53-78) – Finished 12/18. Hey, despite the filler flashbacks, Season 3 still kicks out some decent drama and action into 4 of 5 stars.
  • [52] +++ Blue Drop (1-13) – Finished 12/07. Not bad. An enigmatic and elegant, but perhaps too elusive, 3 of 5 stars.

November 2008

  • [51] ++++ Naruto – S2 (27-52) – Finished 11/29. You may not believe me, but two years ago, I was so unexpectedly impressed with “Naruto – S1″, that I gave it 5 of 5 stars! However, while the second season of 26 episodes seemed comparatively lacking in emotion or focus, it’s still remains a kick-ass anime to watch during high-energy treadmill runs, lol. Yup, a respectable 4 of 5 stars!
  • [50] +++++ Nodame Cantabile (1-23) – Finished 11/28. Oh wow! Now this series is an extraordinary tapesty in the romantic-comedic styles of the classic “Kare Kano” and the rock-and-roll “Nana”, but colored and interwoven through searingly sublime piano, violin and orchestral music. Probably one of the most original, breathtaking, and utterly unforgettable series in a long time. Easily 5 of 5 stars!
  • [49] +++++ Genshiken 2 (1-12) – Finished 11/17. Wow! The hilarious yet touching continuation of the first season and OVAs. It’s amazing how faithful the anime is to the manga, sometimes even funnier! While I only give short seasons a max of 4 stars, this second season, combined with the first season and OVAs, finally deserves 5 of 5 stars!
  • [48] +++ Mars Daybreak (1-26) – Finished 11/14. Not bad. An entertaining action-packed dive through the underwater depths, for a sea-soaked total 3 of 5 stars.
  • [47] ++++ Strike Witches (1-12) – Finished 11/09. Aww, mixing scantily-clad gals and world-war military magic, a brief but satisfying and inspiring ride, 4 of 5 stars max.
  • [46] ++++ Kyouran Kazoku Nikki (1-26) – Finished 11/06. Whoa, super-wild and ultra-wacky sci-fi-fantasy roller-coaster ride reminiscent of “Hayate no Gotoku”, 4 of 5 stars! Prepare to lose all sense of logic, lol.
  • [45] ++++ Persona – Trinity Soul (1-26) – Finished 11/03. Hey, not bad, a refreshing portrayal of psychological mecha, a mysterious and melancholy odyssey yielding 4 of 5 stars.

October 2008

  • [44] ++++ Rosario + Vampire (1-13) – Finished 10/28. Wow, powerful Vampire transformations and mesmerizing Monster battles amidst such a short-but-cute romantic comedy, max 4 of 5 stars!
  • [43] +++++ Zero no Tsukaima – S2 (1-12) – Finished 10/26. Wow, a more tear-inducing emotional ride, 5 of 5 stars! Yup, while I can only give 4 stars max to a short season, combining this short season with the first one qualifies it for a full season 5 stars!
  • [42] ++++ Zero no Tsukaima – S1 (1-13) – Finished 10/21. Awww, addictive little Harry-Potter-esque magical-school romantic-comedy series, 4 of 5 stars max for short season, lol.
  • [41] +++++ Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad (1-26) – Finished 10/14. Wow, rockin’ music, inspiring yet saddening yet back to hopeful final episodes, 5 of 5 stars. Told in a subtle-yet-effective irregular-yet-real style, this story follows the day-to-day life of a normal teenager who matures from an insecure student to an aspiring rock musician. Intriguing bilingual use of both Japanese and English. Incredible music.
  • [40] ++++ School Rumble – S3 (2 OVAs: 25-26) – Finished 10/13. Awww, brief but wonderful and satisfying conclusion to the saga, 4 of 5 stars. After two full seasons of ridiculously funny and unexpectedly emotional high-school antics, this 2-episode “season” pretty much ties up the final loose threads of requited and unrequited love. LOL, or does it? So many eye-popping, gut-busting, heart-stopping and breath-taking memories, it’s sad to see them go.
  • [39] ++++ Strait Jacket (OVAs 1-3) – Finished 10/12. Whoa, ultra-violent supernatural steampunk, 4 of 5 stars An alternate end-of-the-19th-century reality where magic has polluted the world like any other natural (or supernatural) resource, this 3-episode OVA twists Akira-level violence, Vampire-Hunter-D-type moods, and Claymore-style psychologies into a familiar yet impressively different odyssey. Prepare to “exist”!
  • [38] ++++ Lucky Star – OVA (OVA) – Finished 10/11. Pretty funny 4 of 5 stars! Especially one WTF scene in the style of “Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei”, lol.
  • [37] +++++ Clannad – Film (Anime Film, 2007) – Finished 10/05. Based on the Japanese visual novel, the 2007 anime film Clannad is breath-taking! Directed by Osamu Dezaki, Clannad reveals the same stylistic elements of blinding sunlight, dramatic silhouettes, split screens, and continuous motion ~ birds, trains, bicycles ~ which permeates “Air”, another equally breath-taking film he directed. Wow, a swirling tear-inducing odyssey through nightmares and dreams towards a sparkling promise of hope, 5 of 5 stars!
  • [36] ++++ Bleach – S3 (52-74) – Finished 10/04. Still rockin’ 4 of 5 stars.
  • [35] +++++ Strawberry Panic (1-26) – Finished 10/02. Wow, subtle, enigmatic yet colorfully woven 5 of 5 stars.

September 2008

  • [34] +++++ Code Geass – R2 (1-25) – Finished 09/28. Breath-taking 5 of 5 stars. Whatever anyone else says, it’s still undeniably “ambitious and wide-sweeping. Still one of the most-intellectually engaging 5-star series I’ve ever seen, ranking alongside other epic animes like “Death Note” and “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex”.
  • [33] +++ Paranoia Agent (1-13) – Finished 09/27. Strong and thought-provoking 3 of 5 stars.
  • [32] +++ Vampire Knight – S1 (1-13) – Finished 09/25. Not bad 3 of 5 stars.
  • [31] ++++ Bleach – S2 (26-51) – Finished 09/20. Rockin’ 4 of 5 stars.
  • [Again] “Kiddy Grade” (1-24) – Finished again 09/13.
  • [30] ++++ Bleach – S1 (1-25) – Finished 09/12. Rockin’ 4 of 5 stars.
  • [29] ++++ Phantom – The Animation (OVAs 1-3) – Finished 09/01. Wow, unexpectedly breath-taking 4 of 5 stars.

August 2008

  • [28] +++++ Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (1-27) – Finished 08/31. Double-wow, heart-pumping yet heart-breaking final-7 episodes, finally worthy of 5 of 5 stars!
  • [27] +++++ NANA (26-47) – Finally finished 08/28. Wow, still a bittersweet and melancholy 5 of 5 stars!
  • [Again] “Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex” (1-26) – Finished again 08/25.
  • [26] ++++ Appleseed – Ex Machina (Film) – Finished 08/24. Not bad, slick and slammin’ 4 of 5 stars.
  • [25] ++++ Afro Samurai (1-5) – Finished 08/18. Whoa, stylishly violent and almost-romantically post-apocalyptic, this 5-episode gem paints quite a refreshingly retro-futuristic view of hell-on-earth, life-long revenge, and inexplicable survival. Haha, Samuel L. Jackson voices the titular lead as well as his babbling sidekick, and why not? A bad-ass playing a bad-ass. Nuff sed, lol. Despite the brevity of the miniseries, the revealing flashbacks cast a shadowy depth to a seemingly simplistic quest. Quite impressive. Four of five stars. Can’t wait for the second season!

July 2008

  • [24] +++ Mai Otome – Zwei (1-4) – Finished 07/25. Resumed from 20 Jan. Not bad, 3 of 5 stars.
