Here is another of my short end-of-series anime reviews (more like a rant this time), and this time it’s for the disaster known as Linebarrels of Iron.

Review: FLCL
In my effort to expand my knowledge of anime and manga, every so often I will watch and review old series (as in not currently airing/in serialization) that have caught my attention for various reasons, and this time I have decided to watch the chaotic eccentricity known as FLCL.
Review: Tytania
Here is another end-of-season review, and this time it’s for the space opera Tytania. It’s the first time I’ve watched a slow-paced space opera anime, and Tytania didn’t turn out too badly.
Review: Maria Holic
Here’s another of my end-of-series anime reviews, and this time it’s for one of the quirkiest series of the season, Maria Holic. Does Yuri + Trap = WIN? Read on to find out.

Review: Casshern Sins
The Winter 2009 anime season is coming to a close, which means it’s time for me to write some end-of-series reviews for the shows that I watched but didn’t blog on a per-episode basis. One of these series is Casshern Sins, which I picked up half way through its run. I was intrigued by the promise of robot combat and the unique art style that I saw in some screen shots. Casshern Sins turned out to be a decent series overall and here is my short review of the series.
Review: Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō
It’s been a while since I finished reading Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō. For those who don’t know, YKK is a sci-fi, slice-of-life manga by Hitoshi Ashinano. It was serialized in Afternoon magazine from June 1994 to February 2006 and collected a total of 14 volumes. YKK is the type of manga that is well-loved by some but is completely uninteresting to others. In case you’re wondering, I’m one of the people who loved it. I’ve been meaning to write a review for this series, but never quite got around to it until now, so here it goes.
Review: Macross Zero (OVA)
Today we look at the five episode OVA series Macross Zero. The main reason why I wanted to watch Macross Zero is because of Macross Frontier. Macross Frontier was my favorite anime series of 2008. Frontier featured reference to several previous Macross series, but it has the closest connections to Macross Zero, which I haven’t seen until yesterday (the day before I wrote this review). As expected of a Macross series, Macross Zero contains its share of quality action, love triangle(s), and music, although action seems to be the main focus this time around while the other aspects are somewhat overlooked.
Review: Yozakura Quartet (2008)
The Fall 2008 anime season is coming to a close and although some series will continue into the Winter 2009 season, the remaining series will finish their run by the end of this year. One of the series that ended early is Yozakura Quartet, which ran for twelve episodes. For those who didn’t watch the series, here’s brief synopsis:

Review: Love Hina
For the last school term, I spent most of my break time at school reading manga, since I can’t really do homework without my textbooks or my personal computer. Other than reading the series that I already follow, I also spent time reading Love Hina by Ken Akamatsu. I wanted to check out Love Hina because its name keeps popping up whenever there’s a discussion about harem romantic comedies. It took the entire school term to finish all of the chapters (since I was only reading during breaks), and I’ve decided to write a short review for this series:
Movie Review: “The Dark Knight” (2008) on IMAX
It’s been more than a year since the last time I watched a movie in the theatres, and it’s been longer since my family went out for a movie together. So last weekend we went to the local theatre and picked the biggest blockbuster of the summer, The Dark Knight, and watched it on the huge IMAX screen. Since this is the first time I have watched any film on IMAX, this article is a review for both the movie and the IMAX experience. Overall The Dark Knight on IMAX was an impressive experience, so keep on reading to find out more.
