http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Reviews of the latest anime (that I can bear to watch)! en-us 2005-02-27T13:10:13-08:00 hourly 1 2000-01-01T12:00+00:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000371.html "Journey" I am so incredibly frustrated by Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi, but I think that some of this frustration is my fault. Objectively looking back at Ai Yori Aoshi's first season, there were large stretches where it was under par,... 371@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi 2004-09-27T23:26:23-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000372.html "The Initials are 'G' (Ginji) and 'B' (Ban)" I didn't really know what to expect going in to Get Backers, and my expectations weren't high for it, so I was pleasantly surprised by what I got. That's not to say... 372@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Get Backers 2004-09-27T23:34:19-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000373.html "Summer Resort" To me, the most interesting thing I noticed in this episode is that Miyabi's car has the steering wheel on the left side. The layers of complexity about her character that reveals... In classic style for this show,... 373@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi 2004-09-29T22:39:19-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000374.html "Atonement - Neck" Well, things have gone from bad to worse. This is the episode where The Plan is revealed, and the real showdown between good and evil begins. This is also a big revelation episode, so I don't want... 374@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Chrono Crusade 2004-09-29T23:26:53-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000375.html "Get Back the Rusted Bonds!" Despite the fact that Ban and Ginji are apparently very good at what they do, in classic selfless hero form, they're unable to ever manage to get paid for their deeds. In this episode, they're... 375@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Get Backers 2004-09-30T23:09:34-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000376.html "Temptation - Poison" For a few seconds there, I thought that I had totally missed something with Remington, but hmmmm. Spoilers can be inferred below. In fact, spoilers can be inferred from the fact that I am telling you that... 376@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Chrono Crusade 2004-10-01T20:33:16-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000377.html "Fish and Water" The first half of this episode is miserable. Throw it away. Especially the last minute, where Tina goes into a fit of prepubescent breast grabbing. Let me restart this review. "Fish and Water" (Part 2) Hey, a... 377@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi 2004-10-01T22:02:10-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000378.html "Mary Magdalene - Magdalena" Hey, well that explains everything, doesn't it? I'm pretty glad for it, too, because if it hadn't happened, I was really wondering if they'd really be willing to just toss off the really important thing that... 378@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Chrono Crusade 2004-10-02T11:14:11-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000379.html "Sayonara - Goodbye" Spoilers! Well, judging from the title of the episode, you know someone's leaving. I'll make it easy for you: Chrono and Rosette aren't done yet, and Azmaria's too cute to kill off. (And killing off a bad... 379@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Chrono Crusade 2004-10-02T23:53:27-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000380.html "The Noise" Here in the penultimate episode of Chrono Crusade, everything's finally come to a head. One thing that's been kind of lacking from Chrono Crusade, in general, is a lack of tension. Sure there's bad stuff happening, but it... 380@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Chrono Crusade 2004-10-08T21:00:35-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000381.html "Chrono" Here we are, at the end of the road. Major spoilers, probably. Given that the final battle between Chrono and Aion really comes down to about three seconds on the screen (there's the posturing, first, but everyone knows that's... 381@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Chrono Crusade 2004-10-11T15:49:12-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000382.html "Operation: Recover the Platinum!" So far, the best part of Get Backers (with the exception of the opening theme, which I seem to like disproportionately to the timbre of the vocals) has to be the various Ginji and Ban superdeformed... 382@http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/ Get Backers 2004-10-20T17:10:12-08:00 http://www.westofhouse.com/anime/archives/000383.html If you've been wondering about my lack of updates lately, it's because I am currently recovering from RSI in my wrists.
