[Manga] Farewell, My Dear Cramer

Brief impressions on the manga. (There’s a little spoiler regarding the ending too.)

I felt this cover of the Warabi girls the best pic for this review

Revisiting Natsuyuki Rendezvous

It’s Valentine’s so let’s talk about romance! (Obviously I don’t have a date if I am posting! Spoilers ahead so you have been warned.)

So I got the itch late last year to watch some lovey dovey anime. I
managed to watch Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo.

Kaleido Star

Warning: I usually do not include spoiler pics in my reviews but this one is special so, yeah, you’ve been warned! 🙂

Kaleido Star is about a girl named Sora, who dreams of joining Kaleido Stage as an acrobatic performer.

Mapping Glass Mask

More than a year after I published the prioritization matrix post I had been toying with the idea of posting another useful tool of my trade applied in the context of anime blogging.  Well, here it is!  My example tackles Glass Mask, or Gurasu no Kamen, circa 2005.

Pandora Hearts Ending

I’m supposed to be doing something else and not posting, but I have to get this short rant out of my head.  For those who haven’t seen Pandora Hearts, please skip this post as it contains crushing spoilers.

Loups=Garous

This is the anime adaptation of the sci-fi novel Loups=Garous, written by Natsuhiko Kyogoku (also the author of Mouryou no Hako).  Verdict?

My Top Anime for 2010

2010 will be over in a few days, so it’s time for that year-end exercise:  the year-end rankings of the shows that I watched.   I’m quite early from my usual schedule.  Whew!  Now what else to do on New Year’s Eve?  😀

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Movie 1st

In brief:  Now I know why there’s all that fuss about Fate Testarossa.  Amazingly, this movie made more sense than Space Battleship Yamato Revival  (the movie I reviewed in the previous post).

So, you're Nanoha?

Space Battleship Yamato Revival

In brief:  Despite the nice animation, it turned out boring.

And the Yamato sails again

Macross F: Itsuwari no Utahime (Round 1)

Finally, I got to watch the first Macross F movie, Itsuwari no Utahime.  So how does this retelling stack up against that gold standard of Macross retelling, Macross:  Do You Remember Love?  At least on the points that were obvious to me.
