To which I answer, "Yes, I have no idea why but I also don't really feel like stopping." Bubblegum Crisis 2040 is one of those shows. I can't ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/04/19/bubblegum-crisis-2040/ Wow, its taken me a week to write this review. In that time of procrastination I kept thinking one thing: What in the world can I say about Pani Poni Dash? There's just so much.. stuff in it but at the same time a whole show about nothing. So here ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/04/02/pani-poni-dash/ If there's one thing I learned from watching Jigoku Shoujo its that persistence pays off. After seeing the artwork and reading the premise of the show, I watched a few episodes and almost dropped it. I'm so glad I didn't. After watching the entirety of the first season I can ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/03/22/jigoku-shoujo/ In the first of the reviews that will be coming out like a flurry the next few weeks as the 26 episodes fall series finally come to an end, I meet probably one of the most unsatisfying animes I have ever watched. Filled with amazing potential at the beginning of ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/03/22/pumpkin-scissors/ There are rare kinds of scores in anime. Sometimes you have great anime that you want to gush about. Then you have the terrible anime you want to rant about. And then there's a rare sight: an anime so mundane that it warrants neither praise nor condemnation. This is the ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/03/19/mermaid-forest/ I had watched this show last year while it was coming out in Japan. For some reason I had stopped watching it at episode 38 and had left it hanging until this week. I'm glad I did drop it when I did because it allowed me to watch it again, ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/03/13/blood/ For the first time in a long time I have dropped a series willingly. I actually don't remember the last time I did this, or if I have ever done this. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Soukyuu no Fafner was recommended to me by my roommate who, up ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/03/01/soukyuu-no-fafner-dropped/ It's fairly rare that I get embarrassed by something I completely didn't know and I should have. Case in point: Peace Make Kurogane. Being a history major and a Japanophile I totally should have understood what the show was about. But being relatively retarded I found out after I had ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/03/01/peace-maker-kurogane/ Mai-HiME is one of those shows you watch purely because you have nothing better to do and want a decent story to fill your time. I watched this show on recommendation from a friend who said it was an alright show, with boobs, and violence. He was right. Spoiler: You ... http://anime.falseblue.com/2007/02/26/mai-hime/ Few shows are as seamlessly put together as Gungrave.
