Thoughts on Macross Frontier: The False Songstress

Macross Frontier is one of the series I followed when I started writing on this blog two years ago, and it was one of the best series I’ve watched at least when mecha battles and music were concerned. So it’s no surprise that I was waiting to watch the theatrical version of the series, and I finally saw The False Songstress around a week ago. Despite liking the anime series so much, I find myself having little to say about the movie other than that “it was pretty good”.

Thoughts on Summer Wars

I watched Summer Wars a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t get around to writing about it due to me being lazy and busy at the same time. Summer Wars is of course the Mamoru Hosoda anime film about a math whiz and his upperclassman’s entire extended family trying to stop an errant program from crashing both a popular virtual world and the real world. Even though I’ve put this post under the “Reviews” category, this post is just some random thoughts I feel like writing down after watching the movie. Writing a well-versed and structured review just feel like too tall of a task for me these days lol.

Tatakau Shisho – The Book of Bantorra – Final Thoughts

Here’s another long overdue final thoughts post, and this time it’s for Tatakau Shisho – The Book of Bantorra, a 27-episode anime based on a series of light novels and animated by David Production. I picked up the series on a whim because I thought the promotional art was nice. Luckily, Bantorra turned out to be surprisingly good and is one of the better series I’ve watched recently. To keep things short and to the point, I’m going to use point form for this post. As with most my final thoughts posts, this post contains major spoilers to the series.

Dance in the Vampire Bund – Final Thoughts

It’s been a few weeks since the end of the winter 2010 anime season, and I’m finally getting around to writing some final impressions posts on the series that I watched but didn’t blog. Blame the lateness on my laziness and my finals. As a “Final Thoughts” post, this post just contains some loosely organized (or unorganized thoughts) I had for the show, so don’t expect to see a well-structured review. Anyways, this post is about Dance in the Vampire Bund, a Shaft production that didn’t turn out to be what I expected.

Review: Eureka Seven: Pocket Full of Rainbows

I don’t watch anime films very often, but once in a while something will catch my attention. This time it’s Eureka Seven: Pocket Full of Rainbows, which is of course the film adaptation to Bones’ much beloved anime series about sky-surfing mecha and teenage romance. I was looking forward to this movie given how enjoyable the Eureka Seven anime series was, but unfortunately Pocket Full of Rainbows turned out to be a disappointment.

Review: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Since most ongoing anime series took a break, I thought this would be a good time to change things up a bit and write an anime movie review. This review is for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, a film that has received glowing praise (and some even think it’s the best anime movie ever). Given that reputation, I had to see the film myself, and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time turned out to be a very enjoyable and charming movie.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni – Final Thoughts

It’s the end of another anime season, and one of the series that concluded this season is Umineko no Naku Koro ni. It’s a good thing that I gave up on writing organized, paragraph-form reviews, since I have trouble organizing my thoughts for Umineko. I’m not really what to say about Umineko other than that it didn’t suck nor did it impress. Anyways, here is my random list of thoughts about the series.
